She was convinced that Xue Man must be retreating in order to advance, and that Xue Man must have said this because he was sure that Chen Wanli was reluctant to let her go.
Sure enough, when Chen Wanli and Xue Chongshan heard that Su Man was leaving, both of them looked a little flustered.
They finally noticed their daughter who had been neglected since Xue Xiaoxiao came. It turned out that she was so heartbroken and sad in a place they didn't know.
Chen Wanli held Su Man tightly and refused to let go. "Xiaoman, you can't leave. You and Xiaoxiao are both my daughters."
Su Man smiled and patted Chen Wanli's hand, "Mom, don't worry, I will come back to see you when I have time."
When Su Man finally calmed Chen Wanli down, she suddenly discovered that Xue Xiaoxiao was missing.
She looked around but couldn't find any trace of Xue Xiaoxiao, and she felt something was wrong.
This dinner is so important, why would she leave without saying a word?
Su Man called a waiter, "Have you seen where Xue Xiaoxiao went?"
"Miss Xue seems to have gone to the small garden at the back."
"I see."

In the garden
Xue Xiaoxiao was talking to a shabbily dressed couple.
She lost her gentleness and looked impatient. "What are you two doing here? Don't you know today is my family reunion party?"
The woman had a flattering smile on her face, "Mom knows, Mom just wanted to come and see you."
"What mother? You are just my adoptive mother. I have found my biological mother now. You are not my mother!"
Facing Xue Xiaoxiao's accusations, the woman rubbed her hands awkwardly and said, "I'm sorry, Xiaoxiao, I know, I know."
The man couldn't bear it, but he didn't say anything harsh. He just sighed and said, "Xiaoxiao, your mother...your aunt misses you too. After all, we raised you for more than 20 years. We already treat you as our own daughter."
Xue Xiaoxiao seemed to have heard something funny. "Haha, biological daughter? If you hadn't adopted me, I might have returned to my roots long ago. You two, with so little money a month, still have the nerve to adopt me."
"Xiaoxiao..."
The man wanted to say something else, but Xue Xiaoxiao interrupted him impatiently, "Alright, stop talking nonsense. What are you doing here today? You don't want money, do you?"
After being scolded, the man didn't dare to bring up anything else and explained, "No, it's just that a foreigner came to our house yesterday and said he had something urgent to talk to you about. He even left his phone number."
He took out a business card from the pocket of his yellowed shirt. "I don't think they are bad people, but I'm afraid something might be wrong. I wanted to call you, but your phone number..."
He paused and said, "If you have time, call him."
Xue Xiaoxiao sneered, "A phone call? I'm afraid they know I'm from the Xue family and are here to ask for money."
"No."
The woman hurriedly explained, "No, that man was dressed very elegantly, and the car he drove, according to Zhang Ma's son downstairs, was incredibly expensive."
Now even Xue Xiaoxiao became curious, who could it be?
