After Shan Jinxi's outburst, the Su family quickly learned that their young master had finally returned to the country. They immediately began a large-scale search, but after finding him, no one dared to invite him home.
Dan Jiaxi sat in Nangong Yi's living room with a gloomy expression. Seeing his friend's indifferent attitude, he wished he could just throw Su Xiaoxiao in front of his older brother to avoid being innocently harmed.
"Nangong, you must take full responsibility for this!"
"He's your older brother!"
Nangong Yi picked up her coffee and took a sip, her face remaining as cold as ever, showing no intention of paying any attention.
After learning the true purpose of Shan Jinxi's return to China, he stopped interfering in the Su family's affairs, but he still did not withdraw his order to send people to keep an eye on the Su Group.
However, Su Xiaoxiao seems to have taken some wrong medicine these past few days. Not only has she been quietly playing chess with her grandfather at home every day, but today she also managed to coax and trick him into returning to the main house.
How much longer are you going to 'hide' here with me?
"My elder brother was summoned by that powerful Su Xiaoxiao. Where else can I go but to save my life?"
Shan Jiaxi was now in a real bind. He was the only member of the Shan family that his elder brother was willing to meet, so the glorious task of inviting him home naturally fell to him.
He glanced suspiciously at the man sitting on the sofa leisurely drinking coffee. He noticed that Nangong Yi's attitude towards 'Su Xiaoxiao' seemed to have changed after he confirmed her true identity.
"Nangong, tell me honestly, have you fallen for Su Xiaoxiao?"
"She's my wife now!"
Nangong Yi put down his coffee cup and smiled faintly.
He has always been a man of action. After hearing what Su Xiaoxiao said at her grandfather's bedside that day, he vowed to protect her and never let the real Su Xiaoxiao come back.
“You should know your brother’s temper very well. If he had any intention of going home, he wouldn’t still be staying in a hotel today. He wouldn’t even have sent someone to your house to deliver a message.”
"Nonsense, even elementary school students understand this principle."
Shan Jiaxi certainly understood this principle, but the problem was that the elders in her family didn't think that way.
However, the thought of Su Xiaoxiao being reborn into someone else's body after her death always made him feel very strange and worried.
"Nangong, what would you do if Su Xiaoxiao turned back into Su Xiaoxiao one day?"
"That day will never come!"
Without a second thought, Nangong Yi blurted out the answer, his eyes filled with a resolute expression as if he had already made up his mind about it.
"Nangong, you wouldn't..."
"Young Madam, you're back!"
The sound coming from the entrance hall immediately stopped the two of them from talking.
Dan Jiaxi turned his gaze to the door without any politeness. When he saw Su Xiaoxiao elegantly walking in from outside, carrying a handbag in one hand and a thermos in the other, he still couldn't reconcile the image of this rich young lady with that of a nouveau riche's daughter.
However, it must be said that Su Xiaoxiao now has the air of a young mistress of the Nangong family, so she doesn't embarrass Nangong Yi.
"These are snacks your mom asked me to bring back for you. She told you to eat them while they're hot."
Su Xiaoxiao placed the insulated box in front of Nangong Yi, and then quickly sat down on a single sofa next to him.
When Shan Jiaxi saw that she hadn't looked at him at all, his brows immediately furrowed. It seemed that Su Xiaoxiao was treating him like he wasn't there.
This familiar scene immediately brought to mind the arrogant and rude face of the eldest daughter of the Su family.
