Chapter 1256: Chapter 1256: The First Meeting

Jian Tao moved to a new home with her daughter, accompanied by a servant and two bodyguards.

At this moment, the car stopped in front of the villa, and the two bodyguards were moving belongings.

Jian Tao held her daughter’s hand, standing aside to look at their new home.

"Mommy, why did we move? Aren’t we waiting for Daddy? What if Daddy comes home and can’t find us?" Zhao Ruixi asked weakly, unaware of Zhao Hai’s death. The family kept silent about it, choosing to conceal it for as long as possible.

"This is Daddy’s gift to Xixi. Xixi, do you like it?" Jian Tao lovingly patted her daughter’s hair.

She could only choose which questions to answer, avoiding sensitive ones as best as she could.

On the surface, she wore a smile, but the sadness in her heart was something only she knew; Zhao Hai was dead, how could he come home?

The move also served another purpose, but could she tell her daughter that?

Certainly not.

Even if she did tell her daughter Daddy was dead, such a cruel truth might not be comprehensible to Xixi.

Who could bear to tell such a cruel thing to Xixi?

"I like all of Daddy’s gifts." Zhao Ruixi looked up with her delicate head, smiling at Jian Tao.

"I’m glad you do, my little darling." Jian Tao forced a smile.

"Since Daddy gave me this house, he won’t get lost and will definitely find me." Zhao Ruixi asked.

"Of course. No matter where Xixi is, Daddy can find you." Jian Tao reassured her with complete certainty.

"Yay, I’m so smart, right Mommy?" Zhao Ruixi exclaimed happily.

"Yes, my Xixi is the smartest." Jian Tao said.

Zhao Ruixi furrowed her adorable brows, puzzled, and said, "But why do I feel that Mommy hasn’t been happy these days? Grandpa and Grandma too, like they are sick."

"Xixi is overthinking, that’s not the case." Jian Tao said strongly, picking up her daughter, "Xixi, give Mommy a kiss and she’ll be happy."

Zhao Ruixi smacked two kisses on Jian Tao’s cheek with her little lips.

Jian Tao’s face was joyful, but her heart was crying, bleeding.

The servant, Wu Ma, witnessed this scene, turned her head away sadly, and cried quietly, unwilling to witness such a scene as an elder of the Zhao Family.

After tidying up, Jian Tao took her daughter to visit their new neighbors, Ye Fan and Mengyao.

Jian Tao carried a fruit basket in one hand and held Xixi in the other.

"Xixi, we have a new home, let’s visit the new neighbors, shall we?" Jian Tao said with a smile, "Whenever Xixi has time, she can come play with them."

"Okay!" Zhao Ruixi nodded firmly.

Led by Qiu Wen, Jian Tao took Zhao Ruixi to Ye Fan and Mengyao.

Qiu Wen accepted the gifts that Jian Tao brought.

"Mommy, Mommy, I know her, I’ve seen her on TV, I really like her." Zhao Ruixi shouted and before reaching Mengyao, she let go of Jian Tao’s hand and ran to her.

It proves that the mischievous Biyao has quite a fan base among teenagers and minors.

Just like Zhang Lu’s young ones who constantly shout they want to marry Biyao, which shows Biyao’s influence.

The charm of celebrity idols aside, now Zhao Ruixi thinks Mengyao is Biyao.

Originally worried whether the new neighbor would like her, now Zhao Ruixi couldn’t bother worrying about that.

"Hello little sister." Mengyao bent down with a smile to greet Zhao Ruixi.

"Hello sister." Zhao Ruixi grabbed Mengyao’s hand tightly, wouldn’t let go, and stared at Mengyao happily saying, "Sister is a celebrity, right? I’ve seen you on TV, I like you a lot."

"I’m not a celebrity. The person you like is my sister who looks just like me. I’ll introduce you someday." Mengyao said with a smile.

"But how can two people look the same?" Zhao Ruixi furrowed her cute brows, puzzled, "Sister, are you afraid I might ask for an autograph? Don’t worry, sister, I won’t."

With a child’s logic, not knowing how two people can look alike, a girl under five hadn’t learned such profound knowledge.

Her understanding is that Mengyao doesn’t admit she’s a celebrity because she’s worried Zhao Ruixi might act like those fans on TV, crazily flocking around celebrities. She thought Mengyao was concerned about this, so Zhao Ruixi sensibly decided not to ask for an autograph.

"Sister isn’t lying. I have a twin sister who looks very much like me. You’ll meet her someday, and I’ll introduce you then, okay?" Mengyao smiled.

"Okay!" Zhao Ruixi didn’t think Mengyao was lying, but still couldn’t understand how two sisters could look alike, very confused, "Sister, you’re grown up, do you have a husband? Is this uncle your husband?"

"Not yet, but soon." Mengyao said patiently.

Zhao Ruixi looked at Ye Fan, pondered, and said, "Then how does Uncle tell which one is the sister and which one is the twin? What if he goes to the wrong bed?"

"You clever little thing, you’re thinking quite far ahead, aren’t you?" Mengyao laughed.

Zhao Ruixi giggled non-stop, foolishly smiling, naturally delighted by Mengyao praising her intelligence.

Ye Fan’s face was somewhat darkened, embarrassed, not because of Zhao Ruixi’s innocent talk about getting into the wrong bed, but because she called Mengyao ’sister’ and him ’uncle.’ He couldn’t help but wonder: Do I look that old?

Jian Tao met Ye Fan and Mengyao, their first meeting, and she hadn’t expected such things to happen.

Her daughter continuously clung to Mengyao, talking about all sorts of things, seeing her daughter’s enthusiasm brought relief. Mengyao turned out to be even more approachable than Jian Tao had imagined.

Originally worried about visiting Ye Fan and Mengyao and any possible blunders, but seeing her daughter’s excitement, she realized her concerns were unnecessary.

With her daughter’s lively involvement, there wasn’t much room for awkwardness.

"Xixi, don’t be so cheeky, where’s the manners I taught you?" Jian Tao said with a wry smile, trying to show a stern face to her daughter.

Zhao Ruixi became more well-mannered, albeit with a bit of awkward stiffness, saying, "Hello sister, hello uncle."

She greeted while nodding and bowing.

"Relax, little sister." Mengyao advised.

Zhao Ruixi sneaked a glance at Jian Tao, evidently seeking her mother’s approval.

"My daughter is a bit mischievous, she must have entertained you." Jian Tao said embarrassedly.

"She’s great, I really like her." Mengyao said earnestly.
