**Chapter 348: Arriving by Airplane**
The entrance wasn’t exactly the place for chit-chat; no matter the situation, Little Moon decided to just follow along inside.
The layout of the courtyard was quite simple, giving off a vibe that made it feel like stepping back to the 80s or 90s.
But everyone knew, in the Imperial Capital, the more modest the place looked, the more loaded it probably was.
Just one of those bricks or tiles could sell for enough to buy a whole apartment outside!
Little Moon leaned closer to Xu Xiaoya and whispered, “Little Yuliya, how do you know these folks? They look super rich!”
“It’s nothing. Not everyone is as rich as your sister.”
“Uh…”
The two followed Xu Cheng’an as they walked in, and everyone they passed stood at attention and saluted.
Finally, they entered a guest room, closed the door, and Xu Cheng’an smiled and apologized, “Your Highness, I’m sorry, but we need to trouble you to wait here for a moment.”
“It’s fine, I… cough cough!”
Whoops, forgot to switch modes.
“This palace is a tad early; it’s no trouble. I just wanted to gather some information.”
“Please, Your Highness.”
Little Moon sat anxiously on the side, rubbing her hands, trying very hard to look composed, but her courage had taken a vacation.
Both Little Yuliya and that grandpa were clearly not ordinary people.
The vibe they radiated was a whole different level from hers.
She regretted not asking more questions before tagging along.
At this point, she just hoped to blend into the background like a little transparent ostrich.
But that was never going to happen.
“Do you recognize this person beside me?”
Xu Cheng’an nodded firmly, “Yes, although it’s a bit presumptuous, I have indeed done some research on Miss Xu Xiaoyue.”
From a top-tier player’s perspective or considering her connection to the ‘Nuclear Bomb Little Sister’, she definitely deserved the attention of him and his peers.
“And the outcome?”
“Nothing particularly special was found.”
Xu Xiaoya raised an eyebrow, “She is my twin sister.”
“Ah… I recall she indeed has a twin s… sister. So that’s how it is!”
“Based on what you said, I believe she should have connections to the Xu family. Do you have any testing methods?”
Xu Xiaoyue’s mouth hung open, big enough to fit a duck egg.
What the heck?
So big sister brought me here to reconnect?! And it’s with this kind of not-so-simple family?!
“Your Highness, just a moment, we have a rather straightforward method.”
Xu Cheng’an stood by the door and called out a couple of commands.
After a while, someone brought in a piece of jade, which Xu Cheng’an carried in.
The Golden Kingdom might be known for gold, but their mastery of jade was just as impressive.
That’s why they named their country after jade.
“Miss Xu Xiaoyue, please place your hand on this jade.”
Xu Xiaoyue looked at the jade, wanting to roll her eyes and say, “This isn’t science.”
But nothing about this place had been particularly scientific.
She complied.
Five seconds later, the jade began to glow faintly.
Xu Cheng’an held the jade, looking quite pleased, “Yes! It indeed proves it! She is a member of the Xu family!”
Xu Xiaoyue’s jaw dropped.
Abba abba…
She had been completely bewildered, probably because she woke up too early today.
Yeah, that must be it.
With a nod from Xu Xiaoya, the two began discussing the family tree.
It didn’t take long to figure out.
Turns out, Little Moon and Little Yuliya’s grandpa was Xu Cheng’an’s younger brother. He couldn’t handle the weird traditions of the Xu family, did something pretty serious, and straight up left home.
He lived outside under a new identity until he passed away.
And they never expected that a grandchild should land this jackpot.
Now Little Moon was even more dazed.
The lost daughter of a wealthy family… was me all along!
“Just a small question, but it’s all cleared up now. Little Moon, how do you feel about this?”
“I… let me think.”
Little Moon’s mind was swirling.
Suddenly having such a heavyweight relative was indeed a bit strange.
But… not that strange.
Because the truly bizarre factor was her own sister. Now that was a heavyweight relative!
So, after pondering for a bit, she figured it could be accepted.
But…
“I think I need to discuss this with Mom and Dad.”
“Your Highness, I just remembered I have some other arrangements to make. You two can rest here; I’ll take my leave.”
“Alright, carry on.”
It wasn’t convenient for Xu Cheng’an to stick around while they deliberated.
Xu Xiaoya thought for a moment, then snapped her fingers to isolate the room’s sound.
Her sharp gaze softened a bit as she became more thoughtful and clasped Little Moon’s arm, “Little Moon, hurry and share the good news with Mom and Dad!”
Little Moon shot her a mildly annoyed glare and then called up a video chat.
The call connected quickly.
Xu Ma’s surprised voice came through, “Little Moon, Little Yuliya, you’re up so early today?”
“Are they both there? Let me see too!”
“Don’t hog it! Step back and let me see!” Xu Ma quipped back, her smile back in place. “What’s going on? Why the early call?”
Little Moon thought for a moment and settled on a calmer tone, “Well, Little Yuliya found Grandpa’s family. We’re at their place now and wanted to ask about your thoughts.”
“Huh?”
Xu Ma blinked in surprise, then turned to Xu Ba.
Xu Ba blinked, then clapped his hands, “This is good news!”
As a Chinese family, the concept of family bonds was incredibly significant. Others might not understand, but Xu Ba knew that his father had carried a heartache for a long time but never mentioned it.
Now that they found them, it was naturally good news.
“What kind of family is it?”
“The Xu family in the Imperial Capital; I just casually looked it up online. There’s not much info, but their estimated assets exceed a hundred billion…”
“…”
Xu Ba and Xu Ma exchanged glances.
That sounds a bit exaggerated. Combined, their salary was barely over ten thousand a month.
“This… if we go, wouldn’t it look like we’re trying to climb the social ladder?”
“Not at all!” Little Yuliya piped up, “Climbing the social ladder? If anything, it’s them climbing up to us!”
“Exactly! Mom and Dad, they sought out Little Yuliya. We should feel no pressure at all.”
That was the idea, but in reality, it was far from it.
Little Moon felt pressured too, not to mention her more straightforward parents.
“I see… you decide.”
Xu Ma nodded, “Yeah, we’ll do whatever works for you.”
“Mm.”
Little Moon looked over at Xu Xiaoya.
She was the one who brought Little Yuliya along, so Little Yuliya had probably already considered all this.
“Let’s go with that; it’s fine. I’ll take care of the arrangements, and Mom and Dad can maintain the status quo.”
“Alright.”
“By the way, you both are in the Imperial Capital now?” Xu Ma observed the different backdrop behind them.
“Yeah.”
“You went there so suddenly?”
“Of course!” Little Yuliya puffed out her chest, “We go wherever we want, and we get there super quickly; all I need is to… oops!”
Little Moon quickly covered her mouth, “We arrived by airplane this morning. That’s how it is for now, Mom and Dad, bye!”
Little Moon hung up the call.
They flew in by airplane, like crows flying through the skies!
