The incident at the wedding did not alarm the adults at first, but later Xiao Xing still found out because Yang Lele was noisy and the Yang family said something really bad.
Twenty years ago, Xiao Xing and his ex-wife were in a business marriage, and they divorced peacefully. Now they have each started their own families and have no grudges against each other. In
recent years, the industries under the Yang family have been declining, while the Xiao family has been thriving. As a result, the gap between them has gradually widened. In the past, for the sake of Xiao Yan and the friendship of the previous generation, Xiao Xing would take over any project that could involve the Yang family.
Perhaps his sweet talk gave the other party a false impression. Not long ago, Xiao Yan's uncle had a funny idea and insisted on introducing his wife's sister to Xiao Xing to make the relationship closer. After being rejected, he seemed to be dissatisfied.
Today, their dissatisfaction reached its peak.
After listening to Xiao Xing, he did not alarm others. He gave a few instructions to his assistant, and the other party left immediately.
"What's wrong?" Su Wanting took a sip of wine and asked him in a low voice.
Hsiao Hsing-yi whispered, "It's okay."
On the other side, the three members of the Yang family, who were invited by the assistant with the excuse that "Mr. Hsiao invited them," thought that it was Hsiao Hsing and his son who were waiting for them. But in a blink of an eye, they found themselves being taken outside the hotel. When they looked back, the young assistant was nowhere to be seen. There were only a few tall bodyguards guarding the venue, not letting anyone in.
The Yang family realized that they were being fooled, and immediately started to curse, not caring about their image at all. They took out their cell phones to call Hsiao Hsing, but when they found that the call was not connected, they called Hsiao Yan.
"Xiao Yan, your dad treated your uncle like that and you just watched? I am your biological uncle! Think about when you were a kid, there was one time when you had a fever and your parents were not at home. Was it your uncle who carried you to the hospital? Now that you have grown up and don't need your uncle anymore, you just watched your dad treat me like that?!"
Xiao Yan had just picked up the phone when the person on the other end started talking nonstop. Before he opened his mouth, the person speaking changed to his aunt.
"Xiaoyan, don't blame your aunt for saying such harsh things. I think your father has been bewitched. Otherwise, why would he not marry a good-looking girl but a woman who has given birth to a child who is still in her teens? It is said that if there is a stepmother, there will be a stepfather. Your aunt is really worried about you. I heard from Lele that that burden is not an easy person to deal with either. Xiaoyan, you really have to be careful. The women in this family are very powerful. The older ones bewitched the older ones and the younger ones bewitched the younger ones. Be careful that one day your family will all become surnamed Su."
Xiao Yan listened all the time with a blank expression on his face.
Han Lu brought two drinks and waited until he hung up the phone before asking, "Are your uncle and aunt playing double-act again? I really admire them. They sent you to the hospital when you were a child, and they said it hundreds of times, as if it was a life-saving favor."
Xiao Yan took a sip of the drink and said nothing.
Seeing him like this, Han Lu pinched his cheeks. Actually, there was a sentence he had been holding in his heart for a long time, but due to his strong desire to survive, he never said it out loud.
He always felt that although Xiao Yan looked cool and cold, he was actually particularly lacking in love.
Put yourself in his shoes. If he had become Xiao Yan, his parents were busy with their careers and left him to be taken care of by a nanny when he was born. When he was sick, he had only an unreliable uncle by his side. When his personality was almost formed, his parents divorced and he had to live with his grandparents. Maybe he would lack love more than Xiao Yan.
Thinking about it this way, his own parents were simply model parents, except for the occasional mixed doubles.
But even those who lack love know that it is better to have less than too much. People like Xiao Yan's uncle, who take a little bit of past affection and give back, will eventually deteriorate love.
Han Lu thought that if Xiao Yan had listened to his uncle's phone call five years ago, he would definitely be instigated and go to his father to reason.
What about now? There is not even a slight fluctuation in his face.
He took a full gulp of drink, his cheeks bulged out, his eyes rolled around, and he swallowed with a gulp, poking Xiao Yan with his elbow repeatedly: "Look, your sister smiles sweetly!"
Xiao Yan looked over.
Su Yi was carrying some food and sharing it with Old Lady Qu. The two of them were talking about something, and their faces were full of smiles.
Han Lu whistled, "I heard she's going to transfer to our school? She's in the first year of high school, right? She'll definitely be the class beauty. If she dresses up and wears a short skirt, she might even be the school beauty."
Xiao Yan was originally looking over there, but when he heard this, he turned his head with a warning in his eyes, "What?"
Han Lu quickly raised his hands in surrender, and smiled apologetically, "I was wrong, I was wrong, she's your sister, she won't wear a short skirt, and she won't let people talk about her. I'll definitely remember this." He
couldn't help but mutter in his heart, he's only been a brother for a few days, and he's so protective, it's amazing to have a sister. Brother, do you know German orthopedics?
After the wedding was finally over, Su Yi was also very satisfied with
the meal. There was only one day left in the holiday, and classes were about to start. Xiao Xing asked his assistant to handle Su Yi's transfer procedures.
Before leaving, Assistant Xu came to Su Yi and asked her if she had anything to convey.
Su Yi gave him a stack of test papers and exercises, "This is my holiday homework, please give it to the teacher."
"..." Assistant Xu left with mixed feelings.
Since then, there has been a legend in the high school in Haiwan Town. Whenever a student makes excuses for not doing homework, the subject teacher will be furious: "I once taught a student who was about to transfer to another school, but he still finished his eleven-day homework and handed it to me. This is the attitude that students should have. Look at you! Look at you!"
So, the poor students have one more target to secretly plot against.
On the first day after the holiday, Su Yi went out with her bag on her back, and Assistant Xu helped her with the admission procedures.
The scale and facilities of the new school are not comparable to the previous high school Su Yi attended.
This is a private school with strong funding and teaching staff. There are not only ordinary students from wealthy families, but also top students recruited by the school at great expense. If you can meet both conditions, even the teachers will flatter you in the school. If you can't meet both conditions, you will probably have a hard time in the school.
Su Yi in the original book is the latter. Although she entered the school with the help of the Xiao family, she lacked confidence and her grades did not keep up for a while, so she could not integrate into any group.
Assistant Xu had a good impression of Su Yi. After all, she was fair-skinned, well-behaved, and diligent in her studies. After completing the formalities, he took out his business card and gave it to her, asking her to call him anytime if she had any questions. Then he followed the teacher to send her out of the classroom.
The bell for class had just rang, and the classroom was still noisy. After the teacher entered the classroom, the noisy people stopped and sat lazily in their seats.
The teacher asked Su Yi to introduce herself.
Su Yi cleared her throat, "Good morning, everyone. My name is Su Yi, Su Xing's Su, Yi Ren's Yi, please give me more advice in the future."
As soon as she finished speaking, someone in the audience started to make a noise:
"Is that all?"
"Where's your cell phone number?"
"Just leave your QQ number."
"Do you have a boyfriend?"
The teacher knocked on the table several times before everyone quieted down. "Student Su Yi will be a member of our class from now on, and everyone should get along well with each other. Okay, take out your books and get ready to start class. You can ask other questions after class."
She patrolled the classroom and pointed to the first group of seats by the corridor window to Su Yi. "You can sit there first. If you can't see the blackboard clearly, you can adjust it later."
The entire classroom had one person per desk, so there was no problem of sitting at the same table. Su Yi walked to that seat and sat down, but found a lot of things in the drawer, but they were all unimportant, such as a half-used draft book of an exercise book and a few pens. It seemed that the last person who sat here didn't have time to clean up and left in a hurry.
She put these things aside, took out her textbook and pen and started to listen to the class.
There is not much difference between classrooms in big cities and those in small towns. For non-elite classes like this, the teacher is writing furiously, while students are taking notes, playing with their phones, or sleeping. It's just that the students are more blatant, and the teachers are more oblivious.
But then again, the teachers here are really capable, at least their Mandarin is very standard. Su Yi once met an old teacher who started speaking in dialect and telling stories during class. Of course, she also found it very interesting.
During the break of the first class, the group leader came down to collect homework. The homework Su Yi had just received was brand new, so it was naturally skipped.
The guy sitting behind her had been sleeping on his stomach since morning. Now that he was woken up, he threw a few notebooks on Su Yi's desk with an impatient look on his face, "Ask him for them in the afternoon!"
Someone in the back row laughed and patted his shoulders exaggeratedly, "Sleepyhead, wake up. The person sitting in front of you has changed!"
"That's right. That Zhang or something was scared by you, Brother Hang, and transferred to another school!"
"If you continue to be so fierce, be careful not to scare away the female classmates."
The so-called sleepyhead shook off the hand on his back, stretched his waist with difficulty, and then opened his eyes lazily, staring at Su Yi, and said rudely, "Hey, since you're sitting here, you'll have to help me with my homework from now on."
Su Yi looked at him curiously, "Has the person who sat here always helped you with your homework?"
"Of course."
Su Yi asked again: "Why?"
"Why?" The other party seemed to find it very funny and repeated it, suddenly stretched out a fist, and the wind of the fist almost swept Su Yi's nose, "Of course because my fist is harder than his."
Su Yi stepped back a little, lowered her eyelids and nodded, "So that's it."
The ball of hair asked her in her consciousness: "Yi Yi, what's wrong?"
"Nothing." Su Yi answered it. It's just that she thought humans would be more civilized. After all, the ones she met before were just talking nonsense. It turns out that like them, the demons, sometimes they also speak with strength, and the strong dominate the weak.
Seeing that she was frightened, Liang Hang curled his lips in triumph. Just as he was about to withdraw his hand, he saw the other party slowly stretched out two thin white fingers and lightly touched his fist, like a feather falling on the ground, but it made him sweat on his forehead instantly. He had to hold it in to avoid crying out in pain.
He stared at Su Yi in disbelief as if he was looking at a monster.
Su Yi withdrew her hand and smiled shyly: "Sorry, it's been too long since I used force, so I can't control the strength."
She spoke softly, and only Liang Hang heard it. Others thought that the two were whispering to each other, but in fact Liang Hang was still in so much pain that he didn't dare to speak.
Su Yi said again: "Let's go to the rooftop to talk about the homework during lunch break."
Liang Hang shook his head repeatedly. He was so blind that he had offended this super-strong woman who appeared out of nowhere. He even had to go to the rooftop. What was he going to do? To beat her up?
He was not stupid! Bah! He would not fight with a woman!
Su Yi glanced at his fist, and Liang Hang's head got stuck in the middle of shaking. The place that was just touched was now burning with pain. He choked for a long time before taking a deep breath: "Go, go to the rooftop!"
The onlookers looked at them as if they were playing a puzzle, and suddenly they talked about going to the rooftop. Everyone was confused, and some joked with Liang Hang: "Awesome, God of Sleep, you made an appointment to go to the rooftop in a short time."
"Wow, wow, so fast."
Liang Hang ignored them all and lay on the table pretending to sleep. In fact, if it weren't for the pain in his hand, he still couldn't believe that he was pinched down by a little girl with two fingers.
When he fell asleep in a daze, he woke up and found that his hand was no longer painful, and he began to doubt whether the pain before was just his illusion.
It was under this kind of doubt that he tried to attack Su Yi again after he got on the rooftop, and this time he was pinched to tears.
Su Yi half squatted down and watched him trying to blink back his tears, "Did you beat people until they cried and forced them to do homework for you before?"
"Bullshit!" Liang Hang blushed in pain, "He has such a small body that he can be knocked down with just one finger. What's the point of fighting! I have never beaten him!"
"Didn't you say that your fist is harder than his?"
"Is there a need to compare? You can see it at a glance!" He looked at Su Yi's body with resentment.
Su Yi had to smile again: "My strength is a little stronger than that of ordinary people."
Not just a little! He almost didn't recognize the word a little!
The two talked about irrelevant things for a long time before Su Yi finally understood that Liang Hang and his predecessor's desk mate had a mutually beneficial relationship.
One helped the other with homework and dealt with the teacher, while the other protected him so that he would not be left alone and excluded.
No one expected that the one in charge of homework would slip away quietly, causing Liang Hang to offend Su Yi.
Liang Hang didn't dare to mention homework again. He would rather not hand in homework and be criticized by the teacher than be pinched by this super-strong woman again.
He didn't mention it, but Su Yi didn't forget, "Didn't your kindergarten teacher teach you? Do your own things by yourself."
Like a three-year-old child! Liang Hang rolled his eyes secretly.
"I think if I don't help you, you will definitely ask others to do your homework for you again, right?"
Of course!
"But I think you should do your homework yourself."
"I don't know how to do any of it!" Liang Hang said stiffly.
"So I'll help you." Su Yi counted on her fingers, "You can't do it after school in the afternoon, so take a lunch break. You have two hours to rest, so take one and a half hours and I'll help you with your homework."
Liang Hang looked at her as if she were a monster again, "You help me with my homework? Are you crazy or am I crazy?"
"You're not crazy, and neither am I." Su Yi said good-temperedly.
"You're not crazy, but you're helping me for no reason? Is your motherly love overflowing?"
Su Yi said, "It's not for no reason, I have to pay. By the way, how much pocket money do you have a week?"
Liang Hang suddenly sneered, "So you want money, why didn't you tell me earlier. How much? Do you accept Alipay?"
"I don't have Alipay."
Liang Hang said impatiently, "WeChat, bank card, anything is fine."
Su Yi shook her head, "I don't have any."
Liang Hang stared at her, "Where did you come from? Do you know how to keep up with the times?"
"High school students are not allowed to bring mobile phones, isn't it normal for me not to have a mobile phone? Also, you can only pay me after I help you with your homework, and it hasn't started today."
Liang Hang didn't say anything, looked at her for a long time, and asked, "Are you serious?"
Su Yi nodded vigorously, "Of course I really do."
"What if I don't agree?"
She raised her hand helplessly, "Then there's nothing we can do. Even if the deal doesn't go through, we can still be friends. We're still classmates. If you need help with anything in the future, just tell me. It's best not to force others."
Liang Hang was silent for a moment. He didn't know what he was thinking about. Suddenly he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I agree!"
"Really?" Su Yi was overjoyed. "You are my first business, so I'll give you a 20% discount. But I have to make it clear in advance that I have rules. I will provide homework tutoring at the designated time every day. I am not allowed to be late or leave early. I need a legitimate reason to ask for leave. I must be present for at least four days out of five days a week, and I must complete the homework on the same day. Violating any of the above points will be punished accordingly."
Liang Hang regretted it just after he said he agreed. After listening to her talking about a bunch of rules, he felt that the him who nodded before must have been possessed by a ghost!
"Wait, wait a minute, is it too late to regret now?"
"It's too late." Su Yi smiled and stretched out two fingers in front of him, "If you regret halfway, you will receive the most severe punishment, and I will pinch you."
Liang Hangsheng collapsed to the ground helplessly.
Su Yi bent the two fingers and turned them into a gesture of counting money, "And the most important thing, only cash is accepted."
"Strike me to death with lightning..." Liang Hang wailed.
