After a few days of thinking, I finally came up with a dignified reason to visit Summer at her workplace. And coincidentally, Emery called.
“Let’s go. Come with me to see how your wonder girl is doing.”
“Sure!” I answered without even thinking.
When I got ready, Emery’s car arrived and bumped into Ashton, who had just gotten back. So, I quickly said something like, “Why are you back?” and hopped into Emery’s car under Ashton’s sad gaze, leaving him immediately.
“That was Ashton, right? Why didn’t you ask him to come along?” Emery asked as she took a side-eye glimpse at the villa.
“This is between us women. Besides, he’s a busy man. He needs to make money for me to spend.”
“True.” Emery nodded in agreement.
Ashton would probably be thinking something like, “Why didn’t I know I’m busy?” if he heard that.
Wenville was adapted from Fuller Corporation’s previous project involving movie films and was going to be a large-scale showcase of the culture of Hanfu.
Any and all transportation was halted at the entrance, and people in traditional attire could be seen everywhere, along with tourists.
Currently, it was still in the hype-up phase of the festival, where they set up all the businesses and infrastructure to fulfill the consumer’s needs.
Thus, we got out of the car and did a simple registration before going in. Even the securities were in traditional uniforms for soldiers, so Emery and I looked highly discriminable.
“Mommy?”
I heard Summer’s voice behind us and turned around. Her hair was in a bun while she dressed in green, waving her hand at us from on top of the wall. Jared was beside her in a white robe. Even his hair got specially styled. Looking at them reminded me of the scenes from old stories.
“Shaun! Save me, Shaun!”
I knew just from hearing their voices that it was Audrey and Shaun. The two somehow got their hands on some children’s Hanfu.
“Ms. Summer, these two didn’t pay for their food and even committed theft. What do I do?” the security asked while the children struggled in midair like lobsters out of water.
“I’m not a thief! I’m not!”
It was clear that Audrey asked Shaun to sneak out with her, but they ended up losing their wallets and couldn’t pay for anything.
“Mrs. Fuller, why are you here?” Shaun was the first to notice us.
“If I weren’t, you two would be sleeping in the police station,” I said before approaching them. “These are our kids. The Fuller Corporation will cover any damage these two caused. I’ll personally bring them over and apologize to the victims. Let them go for now.”
