Su Rou thought of the things Su Xi had said.

This bastard seems to have some evidence on his hands.

Since she woke up, Li Xuemei hasn't said a single word about it.

Feeling uneasy, she tentatively asked, "Mom, did Xi'er send you something?"

You mean those photos?

Su Rou nodded. "She sent me a message saying she sent you a gift. She must have regretted leaving home for so many years and wanted to send you something as a token of her respect, right?"

Li Xuemei snorted, "What filial piety? Using these fake photos to ruin our mother-daughter relationship."

A dozen photos were placed on the bedside table.

Su Rou glanced at it, her eyes reddening even more. "Mom, I don't know where I offended Xi'er. She's trying to harm me with these fake photos."

“Mom won’t believe her. This brat has been disobedient since she was little, and she’s even more unruly now that she’s grown up. Although she has severed ties with the Su family, she still has the surname Su.”

Li Xuemei's face was very ugly, and she said viciously, "It seems that Su Xi really can't stay in the entertainment industry. We have to find a way to make her leave the industry. Our Su family's century-old reputation cannot be ruined by this shameless wretch."

Su Rou feigned pitifulness, "Xi'er has taken on Director Zhu's role as the female lead, and I'm playing a maid in it. If she's a good actress, she'll definitely become a big star because of this drama."

Li Xuemei suddenly stood up. "You're going to be her maid?"

"Mom, this is Director Zhu's choice. Besides... Xi'er has Brother Jingming protecting her now."

The more Su Rou spoke well of Su Xi, the uglier Li Xuemei's face became. "My Rou'er is the leading lady, Su Xi doesn't deserve her!"

"Even if someone has to become famous, it'll be you who becomes famous."

"I will not allow Su Xi to steal your thunder."

Su Rou was extremely pleased with herself. The more Li Xuemei doted on her, the more she hated Su Xi.

This time, she didn't even need to lift a finger; Li Xuemei wouldn't let Su Xi off the hook.

Just wait and see. The more arrogant Su Xi is now, the more miserable she will be in the future.

She was determined to get back at Su Xi tenfold for those two slaps!

...

Night fell.

Su Xi had just finished showering when she suddenly bumped into a man standing at the bathroom door, and was startled.

"week……"

Before she could finish speaking, the scoundrel pinned her against the wall and pressed a quick kiss down on her.

His body was burning hot, and his breathing was rapid and labored, just like the first time he was like that, passionate and frenzied.

Su Xi was initially somewhat forced, but gradually she was led to respond by him.

Zhou Jingming seemed to have lost his mind, locking her in his arms and biting and nibbling at her, causing Su Xi to gasp in pain.

"What's wrong? Why are you being so rude?"

"When is Auntie leaving?" The man breathed into her ear, his fingertips running through her hair, the silky touch making his blood boil.

Su Xi hung on him, smiling sweetly, "It's still early, are you already so eager?"

"My mom wants to have a grandson." The man played with her hair, his tone ambiguous.

Su Xi chuckled, "You should start thinking about it. Men your age are all fathers now."

"Then shall we have one?"

"OK!"

Su Xi took it as a joke and played along with his act.

The scoundrel grabbed her slender waist without any regard for her feelings. "Boy or girl?"

Joking aside, Su Xi readily accepted the offer, "Anything is fine."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Jingming cupped her face and pressed down with a passionate kiss.

"You're not allowed to take birth control pills again!"

The menacing tone was threatening, and Su Xi was suddenly lifted up.

That bastard has so much energy; if it weren't for my period, she really would have wanted to sleep with him tonight.

'Ring ring ring'

Suddenly, the doorbell rang.

Su Xi leaned softly against the man, asking suspiciously, "Your bodyguard?"

She lives here alone, and the only people who come to see her are Hua Qing and Fu Yu.

Fu Yu is skilled in martial arts and needs to protect her identity, so she wouldn't normally make a big fuss by knocking on the door; she would simply sneak in quietly and wait for her.

Where is Hua Qing...?

This woman is so busy at night, spending all her time with her new boyfriend, a young and cute guy, that she has no time to come see her at all.

The only person Su Xi could think of was Zhou Jingming's bodyguard.

“I didn’t let them come over.”

Zhou Jingming had just finished speaking when he suddenly remembered something, and his expression changed slightly. "If I'm not mistaken, it's my mother!"

Su Xi: "..."

What is Shen Xian doing here so late at night?

"They're probably here to bring you soup. I'll go check." Zhou Jingming got out of bed, too lazy to tidy his clothes, and strode out of the bedroom.

As soon as the door opened, Shen Xian was seen standing outside carrying soup.

"Son, did I come at the wrong time?"

Seeing Zhou Jingming's disheveled clothes, Shen Xian immediately understood.

Zhou Jingming leaned against the door, his posture casual. "Knowing that, why did you still come?"

Shen Xian was both angry and amused. She shoved the soup in her hand at him and said, "Xi'er must be feeling unwell during her period. Give this soup to her."

After saying that, he showed no intention of leaving, and strode in, bypassing Zhou Jingming.

"Mom, aren't you leaving yet?"

Shen Xian's gaze locked onto the master bedroom, and she said, "Where is Xi'er? I'll go see her."

"You're not wearing any clothes, are you sure you want to see?"

He's a real playboy, showing no restraint even in front of his own mother.

Just as Shen Xian was about to walk towards the master bedroom, she suddenly heard these words and stopped in her tracks. "You brat, she's on her period, and you're still touching her."

Zhou Jingming scoffed, "You just want to have a grandson soon."

"I never even considered asking you to do such a bastard thing."

Shen Xian was exasperated and glared at her son as if he were her own, then forced her way in.

Zhou Jingming reminded her, "Women are ashamed to be seen after you've done it. If you go in now, Xi'er will be very embarrassed."

Shen Xian: "..."

If she could be reborn, she would definitely put that scoundrel back into her belly.

"Take good care of her. Mom will come to see you another day." Shen Xian turned and left.

The door closed again, and Zhou Jingming personally carried the soup into the master bedroom.

Su Xi looked around, not seeing a third person, and breathed a sigh of surprise, "Aunt Chen is gone?"

Zhou Jingming nodded and placed the soup by the bedside.

Upon opening it, I found a rich and flavorful black-boned chicken soup.

"My mom brought this for you."

Su Xi smelled the fragrance and her face was full of happiness. "Thank her for me."

“She probably wants to hear what you have to say more.” Zhou Jingming ladled a bowl for her and fed her with a spoon.

Su Xihan went inside and hummed in agreement. "I'll go home with you in a couple of days and thank you in person."

After saying that, she asked again, "What did you just say? Why did Aunt Chen leave?"

Zhou Jingming grinned mischievously. "I said...we're planning to have a baby."

Before Su Xi could even swallow the soup she had in her mouth, she spat it all out at Zhou Jingming.
