Particularly Jiang Yi and Su Yanyan, their alternating blush and pallor made for quite an exciting spectacle.
“Scoundrel!” Su Yuntang shot up, “Is there no respect for your elders anymore? No seriousness all day long, you… you get back to your room!”
“You are the real scoundrel!” Su Xueqin’s voice was louder as he thumped his cane heavily, “Your old man is right here, who are you telling to roll out? Have you gone mad!”
“Dad.” Su Yunrong spoke timely, “You’ve just been discharged from the hospital. Why are you arguing with the little brother? Be careful of your own health.”
Having said so, she turned her gaze to Su Wanwan.
She looked her up and down before speaking with a smile, “Wanwan, you’ve changed so much, I did not recognize you at first glance.”
“Indeed, how true is the saying ‘A girl changes completely when she comes of age’.” Her husband Qiao Jianye chimed in.
Su Xueqin huffed angrily, but his anger subsided slightly, “Wanwan, greet the others.”
Su Wanwan pursed her lips but still got up, “Uncle, Auntie.”
Then she turned to the meticulously dressed middle-aged couple and called out obediently, “Uncle Xing, Auntie Huo.”
Huo Qinyu gazed at her, her expression slightly taken aback.
Because of Mo Weiyi’s attentive care last night, and due to the hurry to get home, Su Wanwan’s face was devoid of makeup – clean, bright, and fresh, so tender it seemed like it could exude water.
If she hadn’t just contradicted Su Yuntang, Huo Qinyu wouldn’t dare believe this was the once unexceptional little ruffian.
They remembered their first meeting with Su Wanwan. Despite being a 17-year-old high school student, she had dressed in oddball clothes, with black eyeliner, black lipstick and even black nail polish. Her short hair was dyed white…
There wasn’t a single aspect about her Huo Qinyu approved of. Therefore, after the incident between Xing Yuyun and Su Yanyan, she had agreed to the marriage without much objection.
“Oh, who is this?” A snarky female voice suddenly sounded.
Su Wanwan looked up to see a woman walking in from the balcony.
The latter was also looking at Su Wanwan before bursting into laughter, “I thought so. It’s Wanwan. Truly, ‘clothes make the man, as the saddle makes the horse’. You look so much better being clean and simple. Mr. Xing, don’t you agree with me?”
Xing Yuyun obviously said nothing.
“Zixin, be quiet.” Su Yunrong hinted at her daughter unhappily.
However, Qiao Zixin feigned surprise, “What’s wrong with speaking the truth? If Wanwan wasn’t pretty, why would young Mr. Xing agree to the engagement? It’s such a pity though. She went abroad just after the engagement. How could young Xing, full of vitality, tolerate that? It is entirely understandable that he wouldn’t resist a little temptation…”
Now, not only the faces of the Su family but also of the Xing family went sour.
With no choice left, Su Yunrong stood up, “Dad, I’m sorry. Something suddenly came up at home. We need to leave soon.”
Su Xueqin gave an impatient wave of the hand.
“What could be so important at home? Mom, don’t pull me, Mom…” Qiao Zixin was dragged away by her mother all the way out until they reached the villa door. Only then did Su Yunrong let her go.
“Don’t meddle in the Xing family’s affairs!”
“What can I meddle in?” Qiao Zixin said dismissively, rolling up her sleeves and continuing, “Dating between a man and woman is a matter of mutual consent. Whether it’s Wanwan or Yanyan, both are daughters of the Su family marrying into the Xing family. It has nothing to do with us…”
“Stop talking!” Su Yunrong was angry but helpless.
This daughter of hers was nothing like her!
She never knows when to hold back, or how to play it cool. It is said, “Daughters take after their fathers”, and that couldn’t be more true.
Su Yunrong glared at her husband angrily.
Qiao Jianye was confused, touching his nose, “I’ll go get the car.”
Once he left, Su Yunrong started her lecture, “Your sister is about to be engaged to Xing Yuyun. The Xing family will soon be our in-laws. Your father is about to be promoted to Section Chief, and we will need the Xing family’s support… Are you listening to me, Zixin?!”
Qiao Zixin didn’t respond, her eyes were transfixed on something in the distance, as if in a trance.
A black Bentley was stopped at the intersection ahead, and a man was leaning on the side of the car making a call.
He was dressed in a white shirt and black suit trousers. Though simple, the quality was unmistakable. The discreet luxury was undeniable.
He seemed to be around 1.9 meters tall. His admissions of phone call and smoke at the same time were indeed captivating. Especially when seen from the side, his long, straight legs and the perfect proportion of his body was like an international male model stepping out from a fashion magazine.
Qiao Zixin’s heart couldn’t help but flutter.
She was now twenty-five years old, had experienced many relationships, but this was the first time she had seen such an amazing man. He was truly an earthly paragon!
Look at his body, his looks, his temperament…
Seeing him turn his head as if looking this way, she swiftly put on her most charming smile and raised her hand to greet him…
“Ouch!” Qiao Zixin shrieked. “Mom, why did you pinch me?”
It hurts!
“Did you hear what mom said to you?”
“I got it, I got it!” Qiao Zixin rubbed her achy arm impatiently. When she turned her head again, the paragon was nowhere to be seen.
The black Bentley was also gone..
