She was the one who brought shame upon herself when she returned to the Su family. Even if she was slapped in the face, she deserved it.
As she watched her eldest uncle and aunt's apology slowly fade away, a sour feeling welled up in her. Cold liquid gushed out of her eyes. Although it was quickly wiped away, it was still seen by him.
His eyes moved, and he found it funny. "Why are you crying? You haven't had a good time yet. I'll give you more money. Go up and hit it hard."
This cold-blooded man only knew how to solve problems with money. His relationship with his father was not good, so how could he understand what she was thinking?
The reason why she cried was that after today, she had lost her only family in the world.
Because she had given up completely and would never treat her uncle as a relative again.
She missed her parents very much. Thinking of this, she burst into tears.
He saw that she was crying so hard that her nose was pink and her eyelids were swollen. He frowned and went over to pick up her face. "Have you cried enough?"
His voice was low and intimidating, with an invisible majesty. Su Xiaoxiao saw his serious eyes with tears in her eyes, but she still couldn't control herself.
He frowned impatiently, leaned over his neck, and kissed her on the lips.
She was stunned and widened her eyes. After a few seconds, she came to her senses and pushed him away. "You... What are you doing..."
"Are you still crying?" He raised the back of his hand and wiped away the crystal on his lips. His tone was low and somewhat evil.
Her tears had long been scared back by Meng Lang in broad daylight. She no longer dared to cry. She bit her lips again and said, "You don't have to pay them. I don't have money to pay you back."
He raised his thin lips. "It's only hundreds of thousands of yuan, and these two people can only bow and smile at you in the future. It's a good deal."
Her eyelashes fluttered. "Why are you helping me?"
He walked in front of her, his eyes like thunder and lightning. He lowered his head and neck and looked at her. "Because as a woman, I can only step on others. If anyone dares to do this again in the future, don't make me lose face."
As he spoke, he held her hand instead. Regardless of whether she was willing or not, he forced his hand towards the car.
She staggered forward and almost hit him. She smelled the strong aura on his body, held her breath, and followed him obediently.
...
After returning to the Emperor's Mansion from the Su family, Su Xiaoxiao had been depressed for several days. Except for eating, she stayed in the room and did not come out.
On this day, just like usual, she lay on the floor in her room, feeling bored. Sister Lan knocked on the door and said, "Miss Su, it's your call."
She was a little surprised. Who would call the Supreme Emperor to look for her?
When she went downstairs, she picked up the phone. An old man's familiar voice came from the other end of the line. "Xiaoxiao."
She was shocked and her heart skipped a beat. It was Old Master Huo. He stammered, "Old Master..."
Huo Youshan could tell that she was embarrassed, so he said in a gentle tone, "You're staying at Third's place now, aren't you?"
Su Xiaoxiao's face was even more flushed, and she couldn't deny it. "Hmm..."
Originally, she was the Old Master's granddaughter-in-law, but now she was the Old Master's son's woman. Facing Huo Youshan, she felt like digging a hole in the ground and burrowing into it.
Fortunately, Huo Hongshan didn't say much. He just sighed and said, "Xiaoxiao, you and Little Three can come to the family gathering this weekend. Is that okay?"
Every week, the Huo family would have a meal and get together. This was a family rule set by Huo Sishan, so it was impossible for him to break it.
Except for Mr. Huo, no one dared to disobey him. No matter how busy they were every week, they would find time to go back.
Su smiled and said, "I'm going to visit my family? It's not too good..."
She was not a member of the Huo family, and by then, Yue Ziqian and Huo Suning's family would definitely be there as well. How embarrassing would that be?
Huo Youshan insisted. "It doesn't matter. I'll be very happy if you and Third Brother can come."
Su Xiaoxiao was in a dilemma. The old man had treated her well and she had already let him down. Now, she really didn't want to disappoint him.
However, was it appropriate for her to attend the family gathering of the Huo family?
She could only say vaguely, "Old Master, I'll tell him first, and then I'll reply to you. He's usually very busy, and I don't know if he's free."
Huo Youshan was already very satisfied. "Okay, I'll wait for your trust."
Hanging up the phone, Su Xiaoxiao began to regret not rejecting the Old Master. Just then, Sister Lan's voice came from the entrance. "The Third Master is back."
She suddenly stood up and looked at Mr. Huo.
Mr. Huo loosened his collar and was a little surprised to see the girl standing in the living room.
Since she came back from the Su family that day, she had been in a bad mood. She had been living in the room to surf the Internet, but today she went downstairs.
Sister Lan whispered, "The old man just called Miss Su."
He frowned and looked at Su Xiaoxiao. "What did the old man say to you?"
"He said he wanted me to go back with you on the weekend's family day. You should be very busy. You can't separate yourself. I'll go and tell the old man that I can't go..."
Mr. Huo blinked his eyes and interrupted, "Tell the Old Master that we're going."
Ah?! Why didn't you play by the rules? Su Xiaoxiao was stunned. "Do you really want to go?"
As he took off his suit lazily, he walked upstairs. "Nonsense. Go and make a call. Be good."
Sister Lan followed him and took over Third Master's suit. She said with a smile, "The Old Master must be very happy to see Third Master go back this week."
Mr. Huo glanced at the little girl downstairs. He was in high spirits. On the weekend, he would go back to the Huo family to relax and have a good time.
Besides, according to the old man's character, he would meet her again sooner or later when he knew that he had taken Yue Ziqian's fiancee as his own.
Thinking of this, he frowned again and said, "Dad is clever."
If he called him directly like before and asked him to go back for dinner, he would definitely refuse.
This time, she took a roundabout approach to look for this girl.
...
Early the next morning, Su Xiaoxiao came to the Emperor's Mansion in the morning. She asked Sister Lan to call Su Xiaoxiao down, saying that the Third Master had asked him to take her to the mall to buy clothes today. He had to dress up when he went to the Huo family's house on the weekend.
Su smiled and said, "There are a lot of clothes in the wardrobe, some of which are still brand new. When the time comes, just choose one. You don't have to go out and buy it, right?"
"Those clothes are usually worn. Third Young Master once said that this is the first time Miss Su has gone to the Huo family. We can't lose Third Young Master's face," said the man with a smile.
Su smiled and pouted. He didn't spend his money anyway. He changed his clothes, got in the car, and went out with the driver.
As the car sped along, it soon stopped at the busiest commercial street in the capital.
A magnificent white building, like a European castle, appeared in front of them. The guests who came in and out of the glass door were all dressed in expensive clothes and had an extraordinary temperament. At first glance, they were the elites in the city.
Above the building, there were four golden English letters.
Su Xiaoxiao knew that the Midsummer Group was the highest-end membership business mall in the capital. Only members were allowed to enter. It was said that the identity examination of members was very strict.
The goods were naturally from high-end brands, and they were very expensive. Any ordinary summer T-shirt was said to be worth four. Those who came here to fight for it were naturally all famous people in the city.
What's more, it's...
