Suddenly being hugged by Su Huanyan, Qiao Xi stroked Su Huanyan's head with some concern, "Yanyan, have you been wronged? Did that kid from the Cheng family bully you?"
Su Huanyan shook her head.
"It's just a little cold. The wind is so strong outside and I feel a little cold. Auntie, don't move. Let me hold you for a while." Su Huanyan felt sorry for Qiao Xi when she thought of what her mother and Su Jincheng did while carrying Qiao Xi on their backs.
She is the most pitiful woman.
A ethereal female voice suddenly rang out, startling Su Huanyan. She quickly released Qiao Xi's waist, smiled at her, and said, "It must be a friend who called to urge me."
After Su Huanyan answered the phone, she stood up, put her phone in her bag, and said to Qiao Xi, "Aunt, remember to come home for dinner tonight. I'm going to meet a friend first."
The Su residence was very large. Su Jincheng and his wife had their own house outside and their own yard inside. During holidays, Su Jincheng and his wife would return to the Su residence to live.
Qiao Xi smiled and nodded, saying, "Okay, it's a pity that your uncle won't be back until tomorrow, otherwise we would go together."
"I like my aunt the most. I am very happy when she comes. Let's go, aunt."
"good."
Qiao Xi walked Su Huanyan to the door of the store, watched her cross the street, and then returned to the music room. Su Huanyan stood under the lamppost on the opposite side of the street and looked back at Qiao Xi's back.
She pursed her lips and walked quickly towards the Suzhou Gardens.
-
Qiao Xi was alone in the musical instrument store because she had to go back to Su's house for dinner. At 4:30, Qiao Xi hung the closing sign on the wall outside the door.
She picked up the hook and prepared to lower the rolling shutter.
The cell phone suddenly rang.
Qiao Xi opened her phone suspiciously and received a MMS from an unfamiliar number. Puzzled, she opened the message and froze in her tracks when she saw the picture of a man and woman hugging and kissing goodbye.
Staring at the faces of the two people in the photo, Qiao Xi's hand shook and the retractor in his hand dropped.
The iron hook hit her foot and she didn't feel it.
-
Su's house.
The cook has prepared dinner and is waiting for the owners to come back for dinner.
Su Huanyan went to the Suzhou Gardens and came back with a cold and a stuffy nose. When she got home, she quickly put on her warm down jacket and padded shoes.
Su Huanyan was sitting in the living room, playing with her cell phone.
Wang Qing was sitting on another sofa, playing mahjong with her good friends. Su Huanyan sat quietly for a moment before she heard the housekeeper say, "The Third Young Master is back."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a calm sound of footsteps approaching.
Su Huanyan looked up and saw a tall young man, who was Su Huanyan's younger brother Su Zhiwen.
Su Zhiwen, dressed in a gray sweater, matching trousers, and white and red sneakers, looked youthful. His features were refined and elegant, a typical handsome man raised in the Jiangnan water town.
When Su Zhiwen saw Su Huanyan, a hint of joy appeared on his cold face. "Sister!" Su Zhiwen walked directly towards Su Huanyan, sat down next to her, and held her hand.
"Huh? Sister, do you have a fever?" Su Huanyan's palms felt a little hot, probably because she had a fever.
Before Su Huanyan could answer, Wang Qing said, "Your sister went out wearing Hanfu today and caught a cold."
"Sister, you're already a mother, how come you can't take care of yourself?" Su Zhiwen glanced at Su Huanyan reproachfully and asked her, "Have you taken your medicine?"
"I rarely take medicine when I have a cold, you know that."
Knowing Su Huanyan's stubbornness, Su Zhiwen stopped trying to persuade her to take the medicine. Not seeing Chengxu in the room, Su Zhiwen asked Su Huanyan, "Why didn't you bring Chengxu with you?"
Su Zhiwen likes the child Xucheng very much. People say that nephews look like their uncles, but Xucheng looks like his elder uncle and not like his younger uncle. Su Zhiwen is a little jealous about this.
Isn't he handsome enough?
"I had a little kid over at home, but I had a friend with me, so I didn't bring him over. I'm happy to have some free time without the kid."
"That's true." Su Zhiwen continued, "Sister, do you want to go skiing? My friend built a resort and a ski resort. It just opened a while ago, and I haven't been there yet."
"Let's see when my cold gets better."
Su Zhiwen likes his sister Su Huanyan very much, and he has endless things to say to her when he is with her.
The two sisters were talking when they saw Qiao Xi coming back.
Qiao Xi also changed her clothes. She was wearing a caramel-colored windbreaker and came with a bunch of baby's breath in her hands. With her long hair and light makeup, Qiao Xi looked calm and serene.
Seeing Su Zhiwen clinging to his sister, Qiao Xi put down the baby's breath and said to him, "Zhiwen is already so old, but he still clings to his sister like a little kid."
Su Zhiwen always plays up to his image as a top student and a male god outside, but at home, he reverts to his childish side. Su Zhiwen said, "Sister will always be my sister. As long as she's around, I'll always be the little brother who can act like a spoiled brat."
"Promising."
Qiao Xi glanced at Wang Qing and saw that Wang Qing was holding a mobile phone and talking to her sisters, probably making plans to go out and play cards tonight.
The image of Wang Qing kissing her husband flashed through Qiao Xi's mind. She clenched her fingers, then quickly loosened them.
Qiao Xi placed the baby's breath on the table and sat down. While putting the baby's breath in the vase, she said to Su Huanyan, "Huanyan, I have to break my promise. Your uncle is coming back from his business trip tonight, so I have to go back after dinner."
Wang Qing put down her phone and looked at Qiao Xi. "Come back today?"
"Um."
But that day in the hotel, Su Jincheng clearly said that he would not be back for a few more days.
