Chapter 268 Want to tear off Si Zhuo's mask

After Qiu Manman sighed in her heart, she found that there seemed to be an even more passionate pair of eyes staring at her from behind.

She turned her head slowly and saw Si Zhuo.

Si Zhuo was staring at her intently.

Qiu Manman showed a puzzled expression, "What's wrong?"

"From your expression, I can tell that you like this room very much." Si Zhuo's dark eyes were calm without causing a trace of ripples.

The old lady couldn't help but be overjoyed, "That's great. I'm glad you like it, Manman. When I was decorating this room before, grandma was worried that you wouldn't like it."

"The room is fully furnished, all carefully selected by your parents."

"I heard that you prefer lighter colors. Why don't you take a look at the clothes in your closet?"

The smile on the old lady's face never faded, and she took her hand and walked inside.

The cloakroom is almost filled with this year's most popular elements.

Qiu Manman looked around and found that several of the sets were custom-made from well-known brands.

[Does it feel like I went from being a cannon fodder to being the group's favorite? ]

Si Zhuo agreed in his heart: It should be so.

Qiu Manman said politely: "Thank you, I like them all."

"We are all family, why are you saying these polite words?"

After the old lady finished speaking to Qiu Manman with a pleasant expression, she turned around and spoke to her superior Zhuo.

"You're lucky, kid."

“…”

Qiu Manman raised her eyebrows.

It was at this moment that she suddenly felt that her script and Si Zhuo's script seemed to have been swapped.

Isn't it usually the girl who is bullied by the boy's parents?

Even when she was at the Si family before, Old Lady Si disliked her, but she didn't care at all.

After all, Si Zhuo didn't really regard Old Lady Si as his grandmother.

Now Si Zhuo is being targeted by his parents, brother, grandmother, and even other relatives.

Qiu Manman stopped herself from thinking any further in time.

That’s enough. She really felt sorry for Si Zhuo.

"Grandma, when I'm with Si Zhuo, I take advantage of him more."

The old lady scolded, "Nonsense, you are the daughter of the Xiao family, how can you take advantage of others? Only others take advantage of you."

"Grandma, we are a match made in heaven. If anyone tries to separate us in the future, I will be angry with them."

The old lady shut up.

Si Zhuo felt comfortable listening to this. After feeding her with pocket money for such a long time, she finally became a little more concerned.

The old lady: "I have something else to do, you two can chat first."

Qiu Manman closed the door and laughed out loud, "Oh, Si Zhuo, you never thought that one day you would also experience being bullied by your elders."

"Nothing, luckily you protect me. I'm unfamiliar with Country A and they are eyeing me covetously. It seems I have no choice but to follow you."

"Don't worry, husband. I will protect your life. If anyone dares to hurt a hair on your head, I will punish him."

Qiu Manman's desire to protect her rose, and she promised.

Si Zhuo: "Are you telling the truth?"

He still doesn't believe it?

Qiu Manman laughed angrily, "If I fail to protect you, how about you just cut my pocket money in half when we return to Beijing?"

She just couldn't believe it. Even after such a guarantee, Si Zhuo still didn't believe in her determination.

Si Zhuo lowered his head and teased her deliberately, "All of them?"

[Fuck, are you a stubborn guy?! ]

Qiu Manman said seriously, "Husband, if you take away all your money, will you still have a wife?"

"…Just pretend I didn't say that."

Qiu Manman snorted and looked around the room.

She thought that this room would probably be preserved forever.

…

At dinner time, as soon as Qiu Manman sat down, she saw that the person who appeared with the old lady was Meng Meijun.

Because of Meng Meijun's mother, Meng Meijun has a very close relationship with the Xiao family.

Although the old lady was dissatisfied with her greed and selfishness.

But no one is perfect.

The old lady was still willing to protect her.

As long as the behavior is not excessive and a little warning is given, some things will pass.

Meng Meijun smiled and said, "Manman, I'm sorry that what my aunt said during the day was a bit extreme. Please forgive me."

Qiu Manman pulled her lips and said nothing.

Yun Yaxin said coldly, "If you want to apologize, then apologize. There's no need to resort to moral blackmail to get forgiveness."

Qiu Manman suddenly realized and agreed, "That does make sense."

“…”

Meng Meijun was a little embarrassed, but not too much. She sat down, poured herself a glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp.

This behavior is like making amends.

Qiu Manman: "That's enough, auntie. Everyone should drink this wine. Don't just drink it under the pretext of apologizing to me. What will everyone drink after you finish drinking?"

Meng Meijun had a mouthful of blood stuck in her throat and her face looked unhappy.

Doesn't this little girl understand the ways of the world at all?

It seems that he has stayed in a small place for too long and is not presentable enough.

Meng Meijun sneered in her heart.

Qiu Manman always had a feeling that this person was not easy to approach. He said one thing in front of her and another behind her back.

There is no evidence, so maybe it's just my indescribable sixth sense.

Qiu Manman instinctively didn't want to get close to Meng Meijun.

Meng Meijun didn't want to let her go so easily.

"Manman, I have a daughter who is about your age. You have never met her. I will ask her to come to the manor to play with you tomorrow."

Xiao Baishu said: "Manman may not have time tomorrow, as I have to go shopping with Fanfan."

"What?" Meng Meijun was surprised.

Xiao Baishu repeated, "She wants to go shopping with Fanfan."

The old lady narrowed her eyes and said, "I knew Manman was popular. My granddaughter-in-law can't hang out with people of the same age as the Xiao family. I didn't expect that she has such a good relationship with Manman after such a short period of time."

Everyone at the dinner table took note of this detail.

Li Yifan's health has improved, and it's time for him and Xiao Baishu to take their already stable relationship to the next level.

They are engaged and their wedding day is approaching.

Meng Meijun's doubtful gaze lingered on Xiao Baishu, "Are you and Fanfan about to get married?"

"Um."

With a loud bang, the porcelain bowl fell to the ground, and the pieces flew everywhere.

The noise came from Meng Meijun.

Meng Meijun said in a panic, "I'm fine."

A servant came quickly to clean up.

The old lady said gently, "Be careful."

After the incident, it seemed that no one cared about Meng Meijun's reaction.

Only Si Zhuo glanced at it, then calmly focused all his attention on the task of picking peppers for Qiu Manman.

Qiu Manman was still quite satisfied with Si Zhuo's self-awareness.

Xiao Zeyu grumbled to his brother, "Si Zhuo doesn't look like a servant. I've never seen him so considerate in Jiashui Bay."

Xiao Baishu: "Maybe he is pretending."

The second uncle turned around, covered his mouth with his palm, and said in a low voice, "You two brothers may need to restrain your jealous expressions."

"envy?"

They were both stunned.

Xiao Baishu explained, "You misunderstood."

Xiao Zeyu: "We just want to tear off Si Zhuo's fake mask."

After hearing this, Second Uncle became curious and moved a little closer, "Second Uncle, I'm curious about something. I see that Si Zhuo has a clean background and is also very handsome.

Your grandma, and your parents, don't like him very much?"

The two brothers looked at each other.
