At the entrance of the Huaixi County State-owned Hotel, there were quite a few people standing around. Yi Roujing recognized among them a familiar pair of siblings; they looked like a family. The most strikingly dressed was a girl about her own age, wearing a bright red floral long dress, thick black braids, black cloth shoes, looking a bit anxious.
"Mom, what time did you say to meet them? Why haven't they come yet?"
"Half past eleven. What's the rush? We're early, that's all." She was tanned and her thin face was creased with wrinkles, but her voice was loud and clear, "By the way, where's Jasmine?"
"Second sister probably went to find a friend." replied the young girl with whom she had a fleeting acquaintance.
Yi Roujing now understood; these were the people being set up to meet her third brother. Thinking of the scene she just witnessed, Yi Roujing felt a bit repulsed.
