Shan Jiaxi's words silenced Nangong Yi and Huangfu Junhao once again; they had already guessed why Shan Jinxi had secretly returned to the country.
“Nangong, you are my brother, and that person is my elder brother. I don’t want you to turn against each other over a woman.”
Shan Jiaxi spoke with great seriousness. He glanced at the silent Nangong Yi, and somewhat sullenly drank the whiskey in his glass.
They were well aware of the Nangong family's ancestral precepts, but if Su Xiaoxiao really was Su Xiaoxiao, Shan Jinxi would definitely not let it go.
Huangfu Junhao patted Nangong Yi on the shoulder and said thoughtfully, "I've thought of a test. If she really is Su Xiaoxiao, we'll..."
It was evening.
Nangong Yi invited Huangfu Junhao and Shan Jiaxi to his home for dinner. Nangong Cang had already instructed the kitchen to prepare the dinner.
When Su Xiaoxiao saw the 'guests' that Nangong Yi had brought back, she was momentarily stunned, but she quickly recovered and greeted the two of them.
"Hello, I'm Su Xiaoxiao."
"Xiaoxiao, these are Shan Jiaxi and Huangfu Junhao. They are Yi'er's childhood friends." After giving her a brief introduction, Nangong Cang gestured for everyone to sit down and have a meal.
From the moment Nangong Yi suspected that Su Xiaoxiao was Su Xiaoxiao, his attitude towards her gradually changed, but he still felt uncomfortable when he thought about her relationship with Shan Jinxi.
When he saw her slightly swollen eyes, the coldness on his face deepened, and the displeasure in his heart surged up as well.
"They don't even cover their eyes, they're so ugly."
Su Xiaoxiao was slightly taken aback. By the time she realized what was happening, Nangong Yi was already sitting at the dining table.
"Do I have to put on a thick layer of foundation just to go downstairs for a meal?" Su Xiaoxiao muttered as she walked to his side, giving him a fierce glare as she sat down.
Nangong Cang's mind was focused on his request to Huangfu Junhao, and he didn't notice their 'interaction'. He also unusually brought up serious matters during the meal.
"Junhao, the reason Grandpa invited you to our house for dinner this time is because he needs your help with something."
“Grandpa Nangong, I know what you want to say. You can rest assured and leave Grandpa Su’s condition to me. Stroke and paralysis are not terminal illnesses. I will go back to the hospital tomorrow to give him a full examination and then give you the results.”
Huangfu Junhao knew very well why Nangong Cang wanted him to come, and he paid special attention to Su Xiaoxiao when he said this.
"However, I heard that the Su Group is going to undergo a major personnel reshuffle next week."
"Major personnel changes?"
Su Xiaoxiao looked at Huangfu Junhao with a puzzled expression.
"The eldest daughter of the Su family passed away suddenly, and the old master of the Su family suffered a stroke and became paralyzed. The entire Su Group has fallen apart. I heard that General Manager Su Taihong will become the acting president, and his secretary, who is also his wife, will become the general manager of the Su Group."
Does that woman deserve it?
Su Xiaoxiao's offhand remark not only startled herself, but also drew the attention of all three pairs of eyes at the table.
She coughed awkwardly and said with a forced smile, "That Aunt Su doesn't seem like a good person at all. Today I accidentally left my medicine in Grandpa Su's ward, and that Aunt Su actually accused me of deliberately embarrassing Miss Su because my name sounds like Miss Su's name. She even tried to hit me."
"Did she hit you?"
Nangong Yi's expression suddenly turned cold, and he became extremely icy.
