Chapter 5: A Different World

The next day, morning.

On the dining table, Gray sat in his seat, holding a residential newspaper mailed this morning, with news from various places in the residential area and recruitment information from some factories. Jura was busy with breakfast in the kitchen and brought the prepared portions to the dining table, everything was as usual.

Dudian's biological clock rang on time. After getting up, he folded the bedding and washed his face with filtered well water. When he came to the restaurant, he greeted Jura and his wife with a "good morning" greeting, then sat on tiptoe on his own chair, and ate the breakfast rolls prepared for him.

At this time, Jura finished her work, took her own part and sat down opposite Dudian, and smiled and said, "How is it, does it taste good today?"

"A little spicy." Dudian took a bite, "I like spicy food."

"That's good." Jula smiled.

Gray put down the newspaper at this time, looked at Dudian who was lying on the table and lowered his head to eat, and said, "Dian, my aunt and I chose a marriage for you. Prepare it today, dress up better, and come with us later to meet people."

Due to Dudian's request, Gray and Jura temporarily regarded themselves as "uncle and aunt".

Dudi'an thought to himself. After last night's buffer, he had calmed down and pretended to be confused and asked, "Marriage? What is a marriage?"

Jura glanced at him and whispered to Gray: "Look, I'll just say Dean is still young, and it's not too late for the marriage to come in a few years."

"When we reach thirteen years old, it is the legal age for marriage." Gray looked at her, his eyes seemed to be cold, and he said, "We are just going to get engaged. There is nothing wrong with it a few years in advance."

Seeing that her husband had made up his mind, Jura sighed in her heart and said nothing.

Grey said to Dudian: "We will take you to meet a beautiful big sister later. You must seize the opportunity, do your best to get her recognition. In this way, you can eat a lot of delicious food every day, wear good clothes, and never get hungry again, do you know?"

"Really? I will!" Du Di'an was calm, but his face showed a surprise. After all, life is like a play, and it all depends on acting skills.

Gray then smiled and said, "How good, Dean is a good boy, come and have a meal first."

Soon, the meal for the three people ended.

Dudian's eagerness to try, and his positive appearance made Gray feel relieved. The rest was all about whether the lady could like Dean.

"Come on, don't worry, change into new clothes first." Jula took out a brand new black suit, bright red tie, and shiny shoes from the cabinet, and let Dudian change it. When he walked out neatly, Jula and Gray couldn't help but lit up his eyes. This outfit dressed by a little noble gentleman was fully reflected on Dudian. His pale skin was as white as snow, and his black eyes were like stars.

"So beautiful!" Jura exclaimed sincerely.

Gray was overjoyed and smiled and said, "Very good, let's go!"

"Yeah!" Dudian was also very excited.

Jura was the last one to go out, locked it with her backhand, and came to the street in front of the lawn guardrail, and said to Grey who was holding Dudian: "It's so early, no carriage came here, right?"

Gray smiled slightly and said, "I have already said hello. The Ivy family said that they would send someone to pick us up." At this point, the sound of horse hooves in vain sounded. Dudian immediately saw a gorgeous carriage with gold wires galloping over from the corner of the street. A silver-white flag was inserted on the roof and a white flower was engraved.

The coachman wore a black high-legged hat and a black suit, parked the carriage in front of Dudian and others, jumped out of the carriage, straightened his waist, and smiled and said, "The two are Gray and Jura. The lady is waiting for you, please get on the carriage." He covered his chest sideways and made an invitation gesture, showing the noble etiquette in his behavior.

Gray's heart was thrilled and said in a panic: "How can I bother the lady waiting for us? It's really rude. Get in and get in the car!" As he said, he quickly carried Doodian into the car.

At this time, the coachman seemed to have noticed Dudian, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but then he returned to a polite smile.

Dada dada...

After the few people sat down, the coachman shook off the rope and the carriage ran away.

Dudian turned his head and silently looked at the buildings flying past the car, as well as pedestrians who were avoiding the roadside, and the surprised and awe-inspiring eyes that both of them turned to the carriage. At this time, neither Gray nor Jura spoke, nor did he tell Dudian anything, worried that it would fall into the ears of the coachman and reach Ivy's house.

The carriage was running smoothly and soon ran past the huge wall on the south side. The young guards at the gate of the city saw the white flower flags on the roof of the carriage, and all moved away, clasped their fists and saluted them. After the carriage left, they resumed their work and continued to check the identities of passers-by who wanted to enter the commercial area.

Is this a commercial district?

Dudian looked at the clean streets outside the carriage and the clean and gorgeous pedestrians on the road, and immediately felt the difference from the residential areas. Compared with the slums, it was even more different from the heaven and hell, and it was not exaggerated at all.

Soon, the carriage was parked in front of an exquisite and elegant building at the end of the street. Dudian saw a cardboard piano sign hanging on the building, which was painted extremely realistically. He couldn't help but be surprised. He didn't expect that the piano was still preserved in this poor and incomplete world.

The carriage was parked at the main entrance. At this time, a young man in black suit walked over quickly at the door. Looking at Gray and Jura who were walking off the carriage, he smiled and said, "Miss, wait a long time, please follow me." He turned around and led the way.

Gray looked at the gorgeous and exquisite building that was absolutely impossible to see in the residential area, and felt a little nervous. He straightened his waist and back a little, held Dudian's hand and walked in front.

Entering the hall, the light of the oil lamp as bright as agate gems shone on the faces of the Grays and his wife. Jura performed better. She had been invited to the commercial area several times for treatment and was a little calmer. However, it was the first time that Gray had come to such a place. Dudian held his hand through him and felt the man's whole body trembling slightly nervous, and he couldn't help but shake his head in his heart.

The gurgling music floated like flowing water. Dudian saw that the hall was extremely spacious. Many people sat here to eat snacks, listen to music, and chat softly. They were dressed extremely gorgeously. The fabric was better than the thin threads and cotton cloth used in residential areas. Some were silk and some were fluff sweaters. The colors were extremely bright, which was very distinct from the thin threads in residential areas.

The young man in a black suit made a gesture and walked towards a separate seat inside.

Dudian looked at him and saw two figures sitting here. One was a middle-aged beautiful woman, about thirty years old, wearing a delicately cut skirt, with a beautiful face and a very gentle look. Next to her was a little girl of eleven or twelve years old, with fair skin, brown hair and melon-shaped face. Although she had not yet developed, she was definitely a beauty.

The little girl also noticed the Gray family coming towards her, and her eyes swept over the two adults and fell on Dudian, with a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

At this time, the middle-aged beautiful woman stood up and smiled at Jura, "Doctor Jura, my husband's illness was thanks to you last time. Today he has business to deal with and can't come. I hope you forgive me."

Graylian said: "Where is where, Mr. Ai is busy, and we are abrupt."

The middle-aged beautiful woman smiled and said, "Let's sit first."

"Yes, yes." Gray immediately pulled away the chair and sat down. Perhaps because of his nervousness, the chair foot hit the ground and rang. Several people in other seats nearby who were talking softly immediately looked sideways. When he saw a white medal tied to the gauze hat on his head, his face changed and he withdrew his eyes.

After Gray and Jula sat down, the middle-aged beautiful woman's eyes fell on Dudian, who was standing on tiptoe on the chair, and a hint of surprise flashed through her eyes. Then she felt relieved and smiled at Gray and said, "This is the child you adopted, it's so pure."

When Gray heard her praise Dudian, he was happy and said, "Not like your lady, she is so young and so beautiful, and she looks very smart, inheriting your beauty."

The middle-aged beautiful woman smiled slightly and suddenly said, "About the marriage..."

Gray's body tightened, and Jura's expression was a little nervous.

"If Annaya has no objection, just make it." The middle-aged beautiful woman was unexpectedly refreshed.

Gray and Jura looked at each other and saw each other's surprise.

"My mother." At this moment, the little girl suddenly spoke and said, "I want to go out for a walk with him." As she spoke, her eyes pointed at Dudian.

The middle-aged beauty seemed to have expected her words long ago, and her smile remained unchanged, looking at Gray and Jura.

Gray reacted and said, "It should be, Dean, you accompany Miss Anneya to go shopping, remember to take good care of Miss Anneya!" As he said that, he patted Dudian on the shoulder to encourage him.

At this time, Annaya had already gotten off her seat, turned around and walked out first, without looking at Dudian, nor did she stop waiting for him

Dudian looked at the inspiration and expectation in Gray and Jura's eyes, but his heart was very peaceful. After saying hello to the middle-aged beauty opposite, he turned around and followed Annaya and left the hall together.

"This child is quite sensible." The middle-aged beautiful woman looked at Dudian's back and said with a smile.

"It's good, it's okay..." Gray hurriedly said modestly.

...

...

When he came to the street outside, Annaya looked at the young man in black suit who was following him and waved her hand: "Don't follow me, I'll just walk around."

"Yes, Miss." The young man in black suit covered his chest and promised.

After he left, Annaya continued to walk in front without looking back or talking to Dudian, as if she was walking alone. Dudian had already learned to endure loneliness, followed her quietly, and watched the buildings on both sides of the street. From these customs and cultures, she could infer the rough living standards and technological level of the world.

After walking for a while.

Annaya suddenly stopped, Dudian was so stunning that he almost hit her back, and only smelled the faint fragrance of flowers, floating from her clothes, and quickly took a step back to get a distance.

At this time, Annaya turned her body, and her age advantage made her half head slightly taller than Dudian. She looked down at Dudian quietly without any expression on her beautiful and white melon-shaped face.

This indifferent feeling made Du Di'an vaguely guess a possibility in his heart and quietly looked up at her.

Seeing Dudian's calm and peaceful appearance, Anneya's eyes flashed with surprise, but soon she returned to her cold expression and said, "Have you heard the opera "Violet"?"

Dudean was stunned. Unexpectedly, she would suddenly have this irrelevant word, and subconsciously answered no. However, Anneya did not give him a chance to speak and continued, "Have you ever heard Mr. Fette's music?"

No. Dudian just wanted to say.

"Can you dance social dance?" Anneya continued to speak indifferently and did not give him a chance to answer.

When Dudian heard this, he understood that this was not a polite question, but a question, and he was questioning with unconcealed contempt. He looked at the girl quietly.

"Do you know how to equine?"

"Do you know sword skills?"

"Do you have ideals and pursuits?"

Anneya asked six questions in one breath, then looked at Dudian calmly and said, "If you are a smart child, you should already understand that you and I are not from the same world."

Dudi looked at her beautiful face quietly, but she didn't expect that such sharp and even mean words would be spoken from the mouth of this child who was only three or four years older than her, and said it for granted.
