In the evening, around half past six, the lights began to come on.
Su Yang drove a red Porsche to the Su family's house. Seeing the brand new classical lanterns hanging on both sides of the door, she withdrew her gaze indifferently, locked the car door, and walked into the villa with ease.
Before passing through the front yard paved with bluestone slabs, Xu Yi was seen from afar standing elegantly in front of the main gate with the look of a noble lady, seemingly lecturing Su Mo behind her.
Perhaps she was getting a little impatient, Su Mo yelled unhappily: "I know, Mom, you've said this five or six times, aren't you annoying?"
"You're still complaining, but now you need her help. If you don't want your future, you can just keep this attitude. Su Yang is now hard-hearted, but she's completely different from before. Your dad won't forgive you just because he says a few nice words to her. She has Rong Zhan as her backer now. How many directors and producers want to work with her..."
"Okay, I get it." Su Mo interrupted Xu Yi impatiently again. She was very unconvinced and unwilling to give in to Su Yang. She couldn't help but complain, "Tsk, isn't it just marrying a good man? What's so great about that?"
"You're such a bad mouth. When she comes, you should say less." Xu Yi shook his head helplessly and poked her head with his hand: "What an enemy."
The two people's voices were not small, enough for Su Yang, who was ten meters away, to hear clearly.
Although one of them had her back to her and the other was facing her sideways, it was not difficult to imagine what their expressions were at that moment.
"You two are speaking ill of me so blatantly, are you afraid that I can't hear you?"
Su Yang approached silently, and his frosty voice instantly blew away the remaining heat in the air.
Xu Yi and Su Mo were startled and turned around suddenly. They met Su Yang's calm and cold almond-shaped eyes, and their hearts suddenly shuddered.
"Yangyang, you're back. When did you arrive? The servants were all slacking off. No one even told me you were back." Xu Yi was the first to react. He smiled and walked over to greet them, "Momo and I have been waiting for you here for more than ten minutes. We've been looking forward to your return."
After saying that, Xu Yi glanced at Su Mo and gave her a wink.
After Su Mo received her meaning, he drooped his face and reluctantly took two steps forward, biting his lips lightly, and spoke as if he had mustered up a lot of courage: "Sister, you're back. I was wrong about what happened last time. Dad and Mom have already talked to me. I don't mean that to my brother-in-law. Don't misunderstand me."
Su Yang raised her eyebrows and sneered. Since she was taken back to the Su family at the age of nine, she had never heard the word "sister" from Su Mo's mouth.
Today is the first time.
But she still felt calm. Her sisterly feelings towards Su Mo had been shattered the moment she was pushed into the swimming pool last time.
The word "sister" sounded funny and ridiculous to her ears.
"I don't deserve to be called 'sister'. Even if you want to call me that, I don't want to hear it. This is not the first time we've dealt with each other. We know each other's true nature like a mirror. There are no outsiders here, so why do you have to act so hypocritically and disgust others?"
Su Yang looked at Su Mo calmly, his eyes swept over Xu Yi, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth. The cold tone without a trace of warmth pierced directly into the hypocritical hearts of the mother and daughter.
After saying that, she didn't stay for long and walked past the two of them without any mercy.
Su Mo was so angry that her face turned green on the spot, and even Xu Yi, who tried hard to maintain a dignified demeanor, almost couldn't control herself.
"Mom, look at her. This is what happened to me because you asked me to call her sister. She's succeeded, and she even said we are disgusting." Su Mo stamped her feet in frustration: "Whoever wants to call her 'sister' can do it. Anyway, I won't call her that. Even Su Yang is not worthy of it..."
Su Mo choked and was unable to utter anything. She could only turn her head away stubbornly.
"You don't need me to tell you what your attitude towards her was before. Now that you need her help, you should be humble. If she wants to put on airs, let her do so. Don't forget, your father is watching. If she doesn't know what's tactful and refuses to reconcile with you and is sarcastic towards you, your father will definitely feel sorry for you. For girls, being too strong is sometimes not a good thing." Xu Yi patted her arm in annoyance and warned her seriously.
After hearing what Xu Yi said, Su Mo was slightly moved. She also knew that over the years in the Su family, her father had always favored her and her brother more.
It was just superficial concern for Su Yang.
After regaining her composure, Su Mo and Xu Yi returned to the house. Su Yang was already sitting on the sofa in the living room, sipping the black tea brought by the servant. From the side profile, she looked like a fairy who was detached from the world and disgusted with the world.
Whenever Su Mo saw Su Yang's incredibly beautiful face and elegant demeanor, she couldn't help but feel jealous.
I was jealous that she was prettier than me, had a better temperament than me, and even had better grades than me in school.
The unwillingness to be outdone by others nourished her growth.
"Yangyang, your father is in the study. He said he has an important phone call to make. We can start dinner when he comes down." Xu Yi walked over and said with a smile, "Isn't today your mother's birthday? I asked someone to order a cake. Take a look and see if you like it?" As he said that, he winked at the servant beside him.
After the servant understood, he immediately went to the kitchen to get the cake.
The cake is not very big, with a moon theme painted on it in green, and a few fruits dotted around the cake.
The artistic conception is very beautiful, and blue has always been her mother's favorite color.
On this point, Su Yang still admired Xu Yi very much, not because of how magnanimous she was, but because of how good she was at acting.
Su Yang indifferently withdrew his gaze from the cake and continued to sip the tea in his hand, with no intention of commenting.
The room fell silent instantly. Seeing her condescending attitude, Su Mo became impatient and wanted to argue with her, but Xu Yi held her back and glared at her warningly.
"Yangyang, don't you like this cake?" Xu Yi sat on the sofa beside her and asked softly with a smile.
"Just tell me, what's the matter?" Su Yang put down the quilt in his hand, not wanting to beat around the bush with them, and raised his brows with a cold look.
Hearing this, Xu Yi smiled awkwardly, slowly looked at Su Mo, and winked at her.
"I want to be on your show." Su Mo was not polite and said rather arrogantly, "'Idol Advent' is a variety show that you just took on and are currently recording."
Su Yang sneered again, and suddenly understood why she put aside her pride and called her "sister".
"What are you laughing at?" Hearing her laughter that seemed to be full of sarcasm, Su Mo glared at her and looked straight at her.
