Chapter Thirty-Nine: President Xu is very good to me.
"I knew you'd ask that."
Grandpa Tang happily took two pieces of paper out of the box.
"Take a look, isn't it similar to the one Lao Qin brought over?"
"Grandpa Tang..."
Su Xiao simply didn't know how to thank Grandpa Tang.
The other party even paved the way for him.
By getting involved with the Qin family, she has more leverage.
Even if she really falls out with the Yan family in the future, she won't be in such a passive position as she is now.
"Why are you dropping little gold beads while we're talking?"
Grandma Tang placed a plate of steamed crabs on the small dining table next to her.
"Old Tang, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"No, no."
Su Xiao touched her slightly reddened eyes and quickly waved her hand.
"Grandma, take a rest for a while, I'll go get it for you."
"It's alright, let's both rest. I'll have Xiao Yi take over."
Grandma Tang smiled and invited Su Xiao to sit down.
"That's just how Old Tang is, don't take it to heart."
Su Xiao knew that the old lady had misunderstood, but she didn't know how to explain it to her for a moment.
After her father passed away, Grandpa Tang always treated her like his own child, showering her with money and connections.
She didn't know how to repay the Tang family.
"Grandma, you two are so worried about Xiaoxiao, why don't you worry about your own grandson?"
Tang Yi carried the dishes out of the kitchen.
He was very tall, and he wore a pink apron that was noticeably too small around his waist, which made him look strangely cute.
Su Xiao hadn't expected that the usually refined gentleman would have this side to him, and couldn't help but laugh.
"Brother Tang Yi, is that apron your grandma's?"
"It belongs to Grandpa Tang."
Before Tang Yi could reply, Su Xiao saw Xu Bozhou push open the door and walk in.
He was carrying things in his hands, and he seemed more familiar with the place than with his own home.
Su Xiao frowned, even though she already knew that he had some connection with the old man.
But this person never comes early or late; they always have to come when she's around.
"Grandma, I brought you new knee pads."
Xu Bozhou handed the things in his hand to Old Mrs. Tang.
Today he wore a black turtleneck sweater with a light jacket over it, and a metallic necklace with feather-shaped pendants.
It made him seem much more down-to-earth.
But her face was so flamboyant that when she took off her coat, her undershirt accentuated her figure beautifully.
The moment he looked at Su Xiao, his fox-like eyes narrowed slightly.
It's unbelievably beautiful.
Su Xiao's heart skipped a beat, then she casually looked away.
"It's good that you've come. With so many of you, where would you put all of you at home?"
Grandma Tang said she was disgusted, but she was actually happy on the surface.
"I heard from Xiaoyi that Xiaoxiao is working at your company? Don't bully her."
"What are you saying?"
Xu Bozhou chuckled, hung his coat aside, rolled up his sleeves, and helped Tang Yi serve the dishes.
This meal was prepared by the Tang family matriarch herself, and served by a deputy director-level official and an all-powerful capitalist.
If you leave it outside, no one dares to touch it.
You can only see such a grand occasion at Grandpa Tang's house.
The two set out the bowls and chopsticks, and Grandma Tang pulled Su Xiao to sit down next to her.
"You're so thin, eat more."
Old Master Tang sat in the main seat, looking at Xu Bozhou with a meaningful gaze.
"Look how you've treated our little girl so badly."
His words weren't very pleasant to hear.
Given the power and influence of the Tang family, they could easily find out what happened back then with a little investigation.
Moreover, Su Xiao and Xu Bozhou had a very ugly falling out back then.
In an attempt to force him to leave the Su family, Su Xiao cut her hand and was rushed to the hospital that very night.
"Grandpa, you're joking." Xu Bozhou didn't reply, but instead lowered his eyes and put a piece of food on Su Xiao's plate.
In fact, given his current status, it wouldn't be wrong to say that he's on par with Old Master Tang.
But he remained humble and did not show any arrogance or dissatisfaction.
Su Xiao glanced at the still indignant Old Master Tang, then stood up and poured him a glass of wine, trying to smooth things over.
"Mr. Xu, you've been very good to me, so please don't worry about me."
She knew that Grandpa Tang meant well, but the facts of what happened back then couldn't be explained in just a few words.
She didn't want Grandpa Tang to worry about her.
The old lady finally retired, and the Tang family is doing very well. Now, she has to worry about the orphan of one of her old friends.
That was really wrong.
"You."
Old Master Tang sighed.
His old friend's daughter is good in every way, except that she always wants to shoulder everything herself.
He saw it and felt extremely distressed.
"Never mind, Xiao Yi has already taken care of that collaboration with the Yan family that you mentioned to me last time."
"Thank you, Grandpa Tang."
Su Xiao smiled and sat down, but when she turned her head, she met a pair of deep eyes.
Xu Bozhou looked at her with dissatisfaction in his eyes.
Of course she knew what he was unhappy about; he just thought she was love-struck and that even after things had gotten so bad with Yan Mingshen, she was still asking for cooperation on his behalf.
Back then, she defied her father's objections and was determined to marry Yan Mingshen; now he's even brought his mistress into the house.
She still has to work for the Yan family, which is truly pathetic.
"You're useless." He put down his wine glass and picked up a piece of fish for her with his chopsticks.
"..." Su Xiao silently ate a mouthful of rice, ignoring him.
He's so ambitious; he climbed to the top by stepping on his benefactor's father. He's really something else.
She didn't want to argue with him today; Grandma Tang had prepared such a large meal for the younger generation.
She didn't want to spoil her fun.
After they had almost finished eating, Su Xiao offered to help Tang Yi wash the dishes.
After finishing packing, he said goodbye to the two elderly people and went downstairs to return to Xu An's home.
No sooner had she and Xu Bozhou left than Yan Mingshen, accompanied by Xia Zhi, knocked on the Tang family's door.
Old Master Tang was already in a bad mood, and when the two entered the door, he didn't give them a pleasant look.
"Old Tang."
Yan Mingshen carried the things, keeping a very humble posture.
What are you doing here?
Grandpa Tang felt even angrier looking at him and Xia Zhi beside him.
How have the Xu and Yan families raised their children these past two years? Each one is more troublesome than the last.
"I would like to ask you if you could teach her healing techniques?"
"cannot."
Old Master Tang leaned back in his chair, his refusal crisp and decisive.
The old man, who had held a high position for many years, had never seen anything so absurd.
The higher these people climb, the more they care about their reputation.
Why did he bring his mistress, whom he kept outside, to the Yan family's place?
"Mr. Tang, I sincerely want to learn from you."
Xia Zhi bowed weakly, her eyes filled with longing.
Since Su Xiao can gain so much favor by repairing her left hand, it's understandable.
What can't she do?
“I used to be a graduate student at the Flores Academy of Fine Arts. I learn things very quickly, as long as you are willing to teach me.”
Old Tang glanced at her; indeed, her fingers were long and slender, with distinct finger bones, making them suitable for holding a pen.
It's just a pity that his character is really bad, even if he really agrees.
Xiao Xu won't let this person stay in the Tang family for long.
He values talent, but not all talent is worth valuing.
"Mr. Tang, please consider Su Xiao's feelings." Yan Mingshen said respectfully.
