Su Xiaoxiao clenched her fists. "Uncle, I..."
"Don't deny it. I saw the news this morning. It was said that Mr. Huo brought a female companion to a business feast last night. Although there were no photos, I guessed it was you when I heard the description of you, wasn't it? Third Young Master Huo is really nice to you. He actually took you out." Su Tiansheng's eyes were shining.
Su Yi didn't want to discuss this topic and lowered her head.
Su Tiansheng leaned over and said, "Xiaoxiao, since Third Master Huo treats you well, can you do uncle a favor?"
Su Xiaoxiao's heart skipped a beat. Remembering how Mr. Huo had poured cold water on her, she tried her best to remain calm. "What can I do for you?"
"... Didn't I tell you before that I owed you a lot of money? I even had Yue Ziqian's help, but now you're sharing it with him... Two days ago, the creditors came to me again and urged me to pay them back. Otherwise, they would come to my family's factory to make trouble. Can you ask Third Young Master Huo to lend me some money?"
Su Xiaoxiao felt a chill down her spine. That man was right. Her uncle had asked her to come back with a purpose. He didn't really care about her. She held it back and said, "Mr. Huo won't lend me some money."
Su was naturally anxious. "Why wouldn't he? He even brought you out to meet someone. You're still staying at his place. He's such a big shot. Borrowing some money isn't a big deal. Xiaoxiao, call him right now—"
Su Xiaoxiao didn't want to say anything else. She stood up and said, "Uncle, I have something to do. I'm leaving."
"Go? How dare you leave like this?" Chen Fengling rushed out of the kitchen with a shovel in her hand. When she heard the conversation between her husband and Su Xiaoxiao, her face changed. "Your uncle was forced by the creditors to such an extent, but you refused to help him?"
Su Xiaoxiao looked at the two people's threatening faces and felt even colder. "Do you take me as a cash machine? I'm sorry, I came here today just because my uncle is really ill. If there's nothing else, I'll leave." After that, she didn't look back.
"You b*tch, why should we raise you? Since you shamelessly hooked up with Yue Ziqian's uncle, you don't want to ask for any money, b*tch!" Chen Fengling tore off her face and chased after Su Xiaoxiao. She was so angry that she raised her shovel and was about to hit Su Xiaoxiao's head. However, her hand paused in the air and was held tightly by a strong hand. She looked up and saw a man's face covered with cold air.
The man in front of her was more than 185 meters tall, with broad shoulders and narrow waists, and long legs. It was obvious that he was wearing a custom-made suit. His unfathomable eyes made Chen Fengling shiver, and she couldn't say a word.
Su Tiansheng recognized the person. "Huo... Third Young Master Huo..." He quickly pulled his wife down.
Chen Fengling was also stunned. That b*tch was now Mr. Huo's man. If he saw her beating and scolding him, there wouldn't be any trouble, would there?
Su Xiaoxiao was shocked to see Mr. Huo. "Why are you here?"
Mr. Huo said coldly, "I've been bullied. If I didn't come, you would continue to embarrass me."
Su Xiaoxiao bit her lip, but she felt that her hand was held by him and pulled behind him. It was as if there was a towering tree blocking the wind and rain. For the first time, she didn't struggle and stood behind him obediently.
Su Tiansheng smiled apologetically. "Third Master, don't get me wrong. We don't dare to bully Xiaoxiao. We are discussing something."
Mr. Huo's lips twitched. "What do you want to discuss?"
Su fiercely shot Su Yi a look.
Su Xiaoxiao had no choice but to say under the fierce gaze of Mr. Huo, "The creditors are looking for Eldest Uncle to get their debt back. They want me to borrow money from you."
"Third Master, with our current relationship, I believe that you won't reject me, right? It's not much, only three hundred thousand, not enough for you to eat a meal and buy a set of clothes." Su was naturally thick-skinned.
Hundreds of thousands or just? Today was hundreds of thousands, and tomorrow was a million!
And this was not borrowing. It was obviously taking it!
Su Xiaoxiao knew that her aunt was greedy, and she was so angry that her body was trembling.
However, Mr. Huo's eyes darkened. "It's not a problem to borrow money. However, it depends on whether Xiao Yi agrees or not."
Su Tiansheng's eyes lit up. It seemed that Third Young Master Huo was indeed very fond of Xiaoxiao. He immediately looked at her with eager eyes.
Su Xiaoxiao wanted to leave, but her hand was held by Mr. Huo. She couldn't move at all, so she could only turn her head to one side.
"Xiaoxiao, please help uncle and tell Third Master about this." Su was naturally pleading.
"It seems that you don't want Xiao Yi to be happy." Mr. Huo chuckled and raised his hand to hold Su Xiaoxiao's chin. He didn't hide his attitude toward her at all.
Su was already born with fat in his mouth, so how could he be willing to spit it out? He was so anxious that he was sweating. "Xiaoxiao, just say something to Third Master... please."
Chen Fengling's face changed again, and she said flatteringly, "Xiaoxiao, just take it as that auntie was not sensible. Please help your uncle!"
Su Xiaoxiao felt disgusted. If he hadn't pulled her along, she would have left a long time ago.
Seeing that she refused to say anything, the two of them were extremely anxious.
Mr. Huo felt her hand in his palm trembling slightly. He stared at Su Tiansheng and his wife, revealing a dark coldness. "Since she's unhappy, you can make her happy."
The two were stunned. "What do you mean, Third Master..."
"It's very simple. Make her happy."
The two were shocked.
"Forget it. I'll go all out for the sake of hundreds of thousands of yuan!"
Then, Su Tiansheng gritted his teeth and knelt down. He also pulled his wife to kneel down. "Xiaoxiao, I'm sorry. We shouldn't have done that to you. Since we are your only family, let's talk about it and let Third Master borrow money from us..."
Mr. Huo said lightly, "That's all?"
Chen Fengling simply began to bow to herself and burst into tears. "Xiaoxiao, you are so magnanimous. Don't blame me, aunt!"
"That's enough. Tell them to stop." Su Yi bit her lips in a low voice. Su was her uncle after all. She didn't want to see the only relative in the world who was so humble and charming.
"Have you forgotten what they did to you so soon?" Mr. Huo interrupted her.
She bit her lips so hard that they were about to turn white. She didn't say anything else.
After a long time, Mr. Huo saw that Chen Fengling's face was swollen. He said, "All right."
The couple immediately looked at the man in front of them.
Mr. Huo took out the cheque and wrote down a number. He crumpled it into a ball and threw it on the ground. His eyes were full of disgust. He couldn't be bothered to look at the two of them anymore. "Thank you, niece."
The two of them looked at Su Xiaoxiao as if they were looking at a Bodhisattva. They did not look like elders at all. "Xiaoxiao, thank you."
Su Xiaoxiao couldn't stay any longer. While he was signing the check, she turned around and ran away quickly.
She rushed downstairs in one breath and ran to the gate of the community. She bent down and gasped for breath, with footsteps behind her.
"Do you think I'm dark-hearted?" Mr. Huo put his hands in the pockets of his trousers and asked in a calm voice.
For some reason, her eyes turned red.
He had warned her a long time ago that her uncle didn't have anything to do with her at all. He had a purpose, but she didn't believe it.
She was too naive.
