Chapter 82 Befriending He Yuejiao, the Second Miss of the He Family
Bai Mengran looked up out the window and saw a magnificent mansion standing prominently beside the busiest crossroads in the town, resembling a small city.
The courtyard wall is high and made of thick blue bricks, with glazed tiles on top that shimmer in the sunlight.
The vermilion gate was more than two people tall and very wide. The bronze animal heads on the gate were the size of millstones, shiny and gleaming, as if they could devour all disturbances.
Above the main gate hangs an ebony plaque with the two large characters "He Mansion" written in gold lacquer.
The characters are bold and powerful, with strong and vigorous strokes. Each stroke is like a winding dragon, as if it is about to break through the plaque.
The gold paint on the doorplate echoed the sunlight, shining with a dazzling light, making it clear from afar that this house was no ordinary residence.
Bai Mengran got off the carriage and was wondering how to knock on the door when she heard a slight creak and the door opened a crack from the inside.
Suddenly, an adorable head peeked out from the crack in the door, looking around nervously with a guilty expression.
Just as He Yuejiao was about to successfully slip out of the mansion, she turned around and saw the gatekeeper who had just run to the outhouse returning, clutching his stomach...
"Second Miss! Come back quickly! Oh, my stomach... I knew you were going to sneak out again, my little darling! If you sneak out again, Master will deduct my pay!"
Seeing the servant clutching his stomach with one hand and desperately reaching forward with the other, rushing towards her at full speed to try and stop her, He Yuejiao frowned and ran towards the door.
Having finally managed to sneak out, she was unwilling to be caught again and had to give it a shot!
He Yuejiao panicked and ran towards a crowded place to shake off the servant behind her.
As soon as she crossed the street, she saw a stunning neon-colored carriage parked by the roadside, with an incredibly beautiful girl standing beside it…
He Yuejiao's mind raced, and she ran straight towards the carriage, shouting to Bai Mengran as she ran.
"Sister, is this your carriage? Please, take me away quickly!!!"
Bai Mengran stood there and witnessed the entire process of her sneaking out. Bai Mengran, who was already thinking of a way to visit her, couldn't help but secretly chuckle when she saw this.
Hey, she just delivered the solution right to my doorstep!
She quickly opened the carriage door and said, "Miss, please get in the carriage!"
When He Yuejiao saw that she had agreed, she excitedly climbed onto the carriage quickly, using both her hands and feet.
"Sister, hurry and get the carriage moving! The bad guys are catching up!"
As soon as Bai Mengran boarded the carriage, she told the driver, "Let's go! Head straight ahead for one kilometer!"
"Okay, Boss Bai!"
The coachman reacted quickly; as soon as he finished speaking, he retracted the steps with a single button, closed the carriage door, and the carriage sped off.
The servant who rushed out the door was a step too late, and could only watch helplessly as his second young lady was taken away in a dazzling carriage...
He squatted on the ground, panting heavily. "Oh! It's all because of this wretched stomach of mine. Of all times to cause trouble, it had to start while I was guarding the door..."
But how could that carriage go so fast? It disappeared in the blink of an eye...
Why did he look at the carriage from earlier and find it even more luxurious and opulent than the carriage that the master had spent so much money to build?
The servant was on the verge of tears, and had no choice but to get up and drag his battered body to the outhouse again...
At this moment, the carriage sped off, covering two miles in an instant, before coming to a stop.
In the short time it took, Bai Mengran had already found out who the cute little girl in front of her was.
As soon as she asked, He Yuejiao took the initiative to introduce herself.
He Yuejiao is the second daughter of Master He, the second young lady of the He family, and she is twelve years old this year.
Having grown up pampered and spoiled since childhood, He Yuejiao came from a wealthy family and naturally developed a spoiled and willful personality. She would insist on getting what she wanted, or she would make a scene, making it impossible for anyone in the He family to control her.
From a young age, this little girl has had an almost obsessive love for food.
Wherever a new restaurant opened or any novel dish was announced in the streets and alleys of the county town, she would always drag her maids and servants along and rush over to try it out.
Besides food, having fun is also a top priority in He Yuejiao's life.
She had no resistance to novel and interesting gadgets, whether it was an exquisite kite or a bouncing puppet; once she saw one, she had to get her hands on it.
As she has grown older, her spoiled nature has been largely curbed, but she still retains her love for good food and fun.
Today, she received a letter from her best friend Liu Yunxi, in which she wrote about a newly opened shop in their Peach Blossom Town called "Fairyland".
In her letter, she meticulously recorded everything she saw and ate, and strongly recommended that He Yuejiao definitely go.
Looking at the delicious food described in the letter, none of which she had ever heard of, He Yuejiao could no longer resist.
However, she was fearless except for her father's anger. Whenever she was caught sneaking out to play, she would be punished by being confined to her quarters and a servant would be assigned to watch over her at all times, forbidding her from leaving the mansion.
She was determined to go today, mainly because she had heard that the allure of the "Fairyland" was too great. Even if she was punished when she returned, she had to go and experience it first!
He Yuejiao lowered her head and stole a few glances at Bai Mengran. This older sister was really beautiful and kind. She was willing to take her away without asking any questions. She liked this beautiful older sister!
"What's your surname, sister? May I get to know you?"
He Yuejiao has always been straightforward and doesn't like beating around the bush; she expressed her liking for the older sister in front of her.
“My surname is Bai. If you’re willing, Sister He, then I’ll take the liberty of calling you ‘sister’.”
Bai Mengran was instantly charmed when she first saw this adorable little girl peeking out.
Who could resist such an adorable girl with a fair and rosy round face, clear and bright eyes, and two cute dimples when she smiles!
Bai Mengran simply couldn't refuse a single thing! Looking at her round, chubby face, one couldn't help but want to pinch it.
"Yay, Sister Bai, you can just call me Jiaojiao, that's what everyone in my family calls me."
When facing her beloved older sister, He Yuejiao became very obedient, showing no trace of her domineering nature at home.
"Alright, Jiaojiao, where do you want to go? I have a carriage here that can take you there."
Having just met this adorable younger sister, Bai Mengran was too shy to get straight to the point. She thought she should get to know her better first before bringing up the matter of buying a shop from her father, Master He.
Upon hearing this, He Yuejiao's eyes lit up. Her eyes, which were already like a clear spring, seemed to be filled with boundless vitality, becoming lively and bright.
"Really, Sister Bai? If I want to go to another town, can you take me there?"
"Other towns? Sure, where do you want to go?"
Bai Mengran thought she was going to another town in Yongle County, and thought she might as well go and take a look, then she heard a familiar name come out of He Yuejiao's mouth...
