It was like Summer was not a fourteen-year-old but a strong and independent businesswoman. When people have their own business, it gives off an illusion of them being held back whenever their parents get involved.
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.
If I did not look back, I would not have known that all those girls at the entrance were actually looking at Jared. It was no wonder they all looked shy.
It was not a surprise since Jared was good-looking. And due to his age, he looked more profound, which attracted a lot of women.
After that, a staff member guided us to the top of the building. From there, the view was magnificent. The lights. The people. All of them made it so it looked like we went back in time.
When we met up, Summer immediately started telling us about her progress. “All the prep work is done. Mr. Cress was a lot of help. Oh, and on the day of the festival, there will be ninety-nine pairs of couples holding their wedding ceremony here in Hanfu fashion to generate publicity. There will also be tours as well people live-streaming them. I’m confident that this event will rock the whole country.”
While she was talking, I could see that she was happy about the city that she had built. It was the same look that Macy had when she opened up the bar for business.
“You did great.” I walked over to her, placed my hand on her shoulder, and watched the incredible view she created with her.
Suddenly, we heard a commotion from behind us.
“Let go of her! I said let go!”
“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.”
