That evening, Su Xiangxiang did not go home.
After learning the news, Su's mother called her at the end of the banquet, but Chu Xun answered the phone.
Chu Xun said arrogantly to Su's mother, "If your Su family doesn't want to take care of her, I'll take over, and I'll never let go."
He wouldn't let Su Xiangxiang suffer any injustice.
Su's mother retorted, "You have no right to talk to me. Let your mother come."
Regardless of how angry Chu Xun was, Su's mother hung up the phone as soon as she finished speaking.
Such an ignorant and ill-mannered scoundrel is often mentioned in connection with her son, which is an insult to her eldest son whom she is so proud of.
Su's mother naturally did not hide this from her husband and son.
The marketplace is like a battlefield.
Even the slightest change can lead to unpredictable consequences.
Only by constantly keeping abreast of these subtle clues can we make better decisions that adapt to the changing times.
She then returned home with the gift she had given to Yan Can.
"Do you like this jade necklace?"
She gave Yan Can a jade necklace and Yan Zhu a watch from a common luxury brand, but this particular model is now discontinued.
This is too valuable; Yan Zhuo refused to accept it.
However, Su's mother stuffed the watch into Yan Can's hand. Yan Can glanced at her, and then, under Su's mother's gentle gaze, grasped Yan Zhuo's hand and forcibly put the watch on his wrist.
Yan Zhuo: "..."
Was he forced into it?
Yan Can said, "He accepted it, thank you, Mom."
Su's mother patted her hair and said there was no need to thank her. She just thought the watch matched Yan Zhuo well, so she took a picture of it.
She was exhausted after a long day outside, but she still remembered to help Yan Can take a bath.
She only went to rest after hearing that Yan Can had finished washing up.
Before going to sleep, Su's mother felt as if she had forgotten something, and it wasn't until she suddenly woke up in the middle of the night that she realized what the problem was.
She's not home, so who takes care of Can Can's bath?
...
"Mom, what's wrong?"
Early in the morning, Su Shaoze had just gotten up when he saw his mother sitting in the tea pavilion with dark circles under her eyes.
When Su's mother heard the sound, she looked over at him, but her eyes were not quite focused.
"What's wrong? Didn't you sleep well?" Su Shaoze asked worriedly.
Su's mother was about to speak when she covered her mouth with her hand and yawned. Then she looked at him blankly and asked, "Did Can Can take a bath last night?"
bath?
Su Shaoze said he had washed, then realized what he meant and couldn't help but chuckle, "You didn't think Yan Zhuo gave Can Can a bath, so you didn't sleep all night, did you?"
Su's mother: "..."
What do you think?
Su Shaoze wanted to laugh even more.
But his mother's eyes were so full of resentment that if he smiled now, Old Su would definitely punish him when he got back.
He could only force a smile and explain, "Even though you're not home, I'm still here. How could I just sit idly by? Besides, there's Wang Ma and the others at home. Even if they weren't, I couldn't possibly let Yan Zhuo go in alone while Can Can is taking a bath."
Most importantly, Can Can can take a bath by herself now; they only prepared water and clothes for her.
After listening for a while, Su's mother finally understood.
She felt a little embarrassed and didn't want to admit it, so she remained silent.
Su Shaoze sighed and went over to help her up. "It's still early. You can go back and get some sleep. Shall I help you back to your room?"
"No need, I can walk by myself."
Su's mother pushed him away, and the person who was originally dazed quickly disappeared.
Su Shaoze then burst out laughing.
After laughing, I looked up and saw Yan Zhuo standing not far away, watching for who knows how long.
His hearty laughter abruptly stopped, and Su Shaoze, who had always acted with a clear conscience, showed a hint of embarrassment on his face. "Yan Zhuo..."
Yan Zhu interrupted him, "I understand, Director Su."
Su Shaoze: "..."
Calling him Director Su in this situation makes him seem even more distant.
Yan Zhuo said, "You are also trying to protect Yan Can from harm. I can understand that. I always assume the worst about those who get close to Yan Can."
In this respect, they are the same.
He was so honest.
But Su Shaoze will not let his guard down.
It's simply because Yan Zhuo's gaze towards Yan Can wasn't innocent.
...
Su Xiangxiang still didn't return that day, but a guest came to the Su family.
"I apologize for the intrusion."
Xi Bai arrived with gifts and immediately apologized, but only he knew how much remorse he truly felt.
Su's mother liked him very much.
Before Yan Can was discharged from the hospital, Su Shaozhou said that he would definitely give Xi Bai a welcome dinner when he came again. However, Su Shaozhou was too busy those few days, and Xi Bai was also tied up with other matters, so the agreed dinner was never made.
"Don't be shy since you're here today. Let us take the place of Shaozhou and treat you well."
Su's mother said.
Xi Bai readily accepted good advice.
He hadn't planned to just leave the gift and go.
After all, Yan Can is here, and Yan Zhuo is here too.
During their subsequent conversation, Xi Bai learned that Yan Zhuo not only lived in the Su family's house but also lived across the hall from Yan Can. Xi Bai's expression became somewhat subtle after that.
During the meal, Su's mother asked Xi Bai where he lived.
Xi Bai said, "Hotel."
Su's mother frowned and said, "No hotel is as comfortable as home. How many days are you staying this time?"
Xi Bai: "Two more days."
Su's mother then said, "We have plenty of guest rooms at home. If you're not comfortable staying at the hotel, you can come and stay at our house."
Xi Bai almost agreed.
But reason prevailed over impulse, leading him to decline Su's mother's offer.
"Thank you, Auntie. It's more convenient to stay in a hotel. Coming to your home would only cause you trouble."
Seeing that Su's mother looked disapproving, he immediately added, "However, your family's chef is very good at cooking, and I really like it. I'll come over for a meal as soon as I finish what I'm doing, so please don't think I eat too much."
That's how it was settled.
Xi Bai went out in the afternoon, but arrived at the Su family's house right before dinner, with Su Shaoyang in the car.
Yan Can asked curiously, "Third Brother, you two..."
Xi Bai said, "It's on the way."
Su Shaoyang explained, "As soon as I came out of the airport, I was chased by a group of media. The studio's car was surrounded by people. Fortunately, Xi Shao had dropped someone off at the airport and gave me a ride back."
Xi Bai said it was because he was more popular than before.
Su Shaoyang did not deny it, "I'm more popular than before, but there are also a lot more people trying to ride my coattails. They're all kinds of people, and they have no sense of propriety, which has caused me a lot of inconvenience."
Yan Can: "If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight."
Su Shaoyang feigned helplessness, "I know, I know, that's what my older brother said too."
The day he can't take it anymore, he will leave.
With two more people, especially a chatterbox, the dining table suddenly became lively.
As the meal was drawing to a close, the sound of a car engine came from outside.
Half a minute later.
Butler: "Madam, Miss Xiangxiang is back."
Su's mother: "Mm."
Butler: "She said Young Master Chu wants to see you."
Su Shaoyang: "Get him out of here!"
What kind of creature dares to speak to one's mother like that?
