Chapter 20 Questioning

The man met her eyes calmly, his expression did not change at all, and he said indifferently: "Let's go."

Su Xi saw this and knew that this was the man's tacit consent. It seemed that she would also change the way she addressed Father and Mother He.

Mrs. He had not seen anyone come in for a long time, so she walked out to take a look. Seeing two people walking side by side, their temperaments blended and they were very harmonious. It seemed that the two people got along well. She smiled softly and said: "Yichuan, Xiaoxi, come in quickly, it's cold outside."

"Mom." The two approached Mrs. He and shouted one after the other.

"Well, have you eaten? We just had dinner while entertaining guests at home. If you haven't eaten yet, we'll ask someone to cook for you." When Mrs. He heard Su Xi's name, her eyes lit up. She couldn't help but be a little surprised, but she was also relieved. It seemed that he had listened to the advice he gave her last time.

"Guests?"

He Yichuan asked in confusion. How come there were guests suddenly visiting?

Su Xi and He Yichuan walked

side by side, and they both turned their eyes to look at her. Mrs. He walked on their left side with graceful steps, and spoke softly and gently: "Xiao Wen came back from abroad and brought some specialties to visit our house. She knew that Xiao An had no classes in the afternoon and could get home early, so she stopped by to play."

After the words fell, a gentle voice came over.

"Brother Yichuan, you're back."

Pan Xiaowen was sitting on the sofa in the living room. When she saw them approaching, she stood up and stood up gracefully.

He Yichuan frowned slightly, glanced in front of him, glanced at Su Xi, and responded: "Yeah."

Pan Xiaowen stared at the man who was approaching. The contours of his face were clear and strong, and the lines were smooth and distinct. The light in the living room shone on the man, as if he had walked out of a painting. A strong sense of shock surged from his heart, and it made people breathe still.

Su Xi looked in the direction of the voice.

His sight fell on the girl in front of him. She had long hair draped over her shoulders, fair skin, a straight and beautiful nose, red lips and jade face. She was indeed an exquisite beauty.

As the two men gradually approached, Pan Xiaowen's gaze shifted from He Yichuan to Su Xi beside him. Her joyful expression froze for a moment, her eyes were cold, and she said in an unfriendly tone: "Miss Su is here too? Doesn't Miss Su have a job? How come you have time to come to the old house?"

After the last meeting, Pan Xiaowen asked Pan Zecheng to check Su Xi's background information. A week has passed, and there is still no reply from her brother. She must be from a small family and was lucky enough to climb up the high branch of the He family.

Before she could say anything, Mrs. He's gentle expression suddenly turned cold: "Xiao Wen, this is your brother Yichuan's wife, and the wife of the eldest son of the He family. You should call her Mrs. He or sister-in-law."

Pan Xiaowen's words were not only disrespectful to Su Xi, but also disrespectful to the He family. She could be dissatisfied with Su Xi, but not with outsiders.

How could the wife of the future heir of the He family, the eldest son, be questioned by others!

"Auntie, that's not what I meant. I happened to meet Su...sister-in-law twice. If you think it's strange, just ask. Don't be angry." Pan Xiaowen saw that Mrs. He's tone was too hard. After all, she was young and immediately panicked, fearing that it would cause Mrs. He's dissatisfaction. After all, she still wanted to marry into the He family, and Mrs. He's attitude was very important.

Anyone who knows what Pan Xiaowen is thinking can tell. It is not surprising that many people are thinking about a man like He Yichuan.

Su Xi's face was calm, and she did not show any emotion. Her voice was gentle and clear: "Hello, Miss Pan. We just met briefly last time and did not have time to introduce ourselves properly. My name is Su Xi. You can call me Miss Su in the business world, and you can be more intimate and call me sister-in-law at home." After she

finished speaking, her long curled eyelashes moved up and down, and she looked at her with a smile, showing the image of a gentle, generous, elegant and sensible wife to the fullest.

After hearing her words, Mrs. He's expression softened, and there was a little more praise in her eyes when she looked at Su Xi. She was calm and spoke appropriately.

Quite the style of the He family!

"Come, Xiaoxi, sit down and chat. You and Xiaowen are of similar age, so it would be nice if you could get to know each other better. Yichuan, your grandfather and your father are playing chess in the yard, go and say hello to them, Xiaoxi will stay with me." No matter what, a visitor is a guest. Pan Xiaowen is here, and she has grown up with her, so Mrs. He can't be too picky, so she spoke softly.

He Yichuan glanced at Pan Xiaowen impatiently, and his strong and slender hand lightly touched Su Xi's shoulder. The distance between the two of them shortened, and the man's refreshing and cold breath came over her, lingering at the tip of her nose.

Su Xi turned her eyes away, her eyes moved slightly, and she looked at him with a slightly raised brow.

The two looked at each other.

After a while, He Yichuan walked out of the living room and headed for the yard.

Pan Xiaowen, who was standing by, saw the two of them being intimate. She felt even more uncomfortable and looked unhappy when her beloved, who had always kept strangers away, was so attentive to others.

After He Yichuan left, the three of them sat on the sofa. The kitchen servant immediately served new snacks and fruits and poured tea.

"Xiaowen, how was your stay abroad? Are you adapting after returning home?" Mrs. He noticed that Pan Xiaowen's eyes followed her eldest son's movements, so she took the initiative to attract her attention and chat with her.

"I come back often, and the pace in China is much slower than abroad, so I've adapted well." Pan Xiaowen pinched the hem of her skirt with her fingertips and rubbed it gently. After answering Mrs. He's question, she couldn't help but shift her focus to He Yichuan, and looked at Su Xi with a slightly deep look in her eyes: "When did Brother Yichuan get married? We didn't even have time to say congratulations."

Mrs. He turned her eyes slightly and looked at Su Xi, then said slowly: "The young couple got the marriage certificate not long ago, but they haven't found a good day for the wedding yet. The He family has to prepare well for this happy event." Mrs. He

couldn't tell the true situation of the two to anyone else, as it would damage the He family's reputation. As for Pan Xiaowen's thoughts, she had to give up the idea.

Not to mention that He Yichuan and Su Xi are together, even if they are not together, Pan Xiaowen is not in the range of choices for the daughter-in-law of the He family. She is immature and impulsive, and cannot be the next mistress of the He family.

Madam He continued: "Tomorrow is the birthday banquet of Master Xiaochuan. Xiaowen, you have to come too. Together with An An, help me take care of Xiaoxi. You young people have something to talk about." After saying that, she put her hand on the back of Su Xi's hand with a gentle look.

After hearing what Madam He said, Pan Xiaowen's rosy face turned pale. She tried her best to force a smile but couldn't. She could only maintain the good and elegant posture of a lady from an aristocratic family.

Here, He Yichuan walked through the corridor in the courtyard. The corridor was constructed of wood carvings with a unique and elegant style. He walked to the pavilion by the pool and heard the laughter of the old man and He's father.
