Chapter 397: Returning to One's Ancestors
Two days later, the old lady was discharged from the hospital, and it was also the day when Su Xiao officially returned to her ancestral home.
Because Su Xiao is Zhao Zhixun's daughter, tonight's banquet was arranged directly at Zhao Zhixun's home.
Lan Qiuling sent a special car to pick up Su Xiao and Nini.
She told Su Xiao on the phone that she had to prepare dinner for tonight and also entertain some relatives, so she couldn't pick her up in person, so she arranged for her secretary to go with the car.
"Xiao Lin has been with me for many years. If she can handle the matter, you can come with her." There was a hint of guilt in Lan Qiuling's tone.
"It's okay, it's just a ride. In fact, I can take a taxi by myself, so you don't have to worry." Su Xiao also said quickly. She developed a personality of not wanting to trouble others since she was a child, so she didn't think it was a big deal.
Lan Qiuling seemed to be hesitant to speak, so she gave her a few words of advice and ended the call.
Secretary Lin was indeed very capable. He talked a lot with Su Xiao along the way, but he was also very tactful. Su Xiao's originally nervous mood gradually relaxed.
Arrived at Zhao's house.
Su Xiao walked out of the car with her daughter. What caught her eyes was a classical and imposing courtyard house. What attracted her attention the most was the graceful, beautiful and elegant young woman standing at the gate of the courtyard.
The other person has already stepped forward, "Is this Hui'er? I am your sister-in-law. Welcome home."
Sister-in-law?
Is this Zhao Yixuan’s wife?
No wonder she is so beautiful and elegant.
People like Zhao Jiaying are not comparable at all. This is the real red princess and a lady from a noble family!
Su Xiao immediately fell in love with the beautiful and dignified woman in front of her and quickly greeted her, "Hello, sister-in-law!"
Qu Si smiled again, "Your mother is busy receiving those relatives, so she asked me to wait for you. This lovely and beautiful girl must be our Nini."
Qu Si turned his gaze to Nini.
Su Xiao taught her daughter, "Nini, this is your aunt, hurry up and say hello to her."
Unexpectedly, the little girl stared at Qu Si with a puzzled look and asked, "Aunt? Is she your uncle's wife?"
Uh—Su Xiao was so embarrassed, "I'm sorry, sister-in-law, Nini..."
Qu Si shook his head and continued with a smile, "Nini is very cute. I heard that she has a talent for languages and now knows six languages."
"Yes, I like to learn these things usually." Su Xiao continued embarrassedly.
Qu Si was very generous. She extended her hand to Nini and said, "Nini, come here. Auntie will take you in. Auntie has many gifts for you."
"Aunt, do you have Crystal Princess? I have collected five colors, and I'm still short of two more." Nini asked innocently again.
"Yes, I will get those two colors for you later!"
"Wow, that's great! Next Monday I can tell my classmates that I've collected all the colorful crystal princesses. I'm the first one in the class to do so!"
"Yes, of course. Our Nini is the best!" Qu Si had a gentle smile on her face and motioned Su Xiao to follow her in.
Seeing her walking forward gracefully and elegantly holding Nini's hand, Su Xiao felt that her sister-in-law was really nice, and couldn't help but smile knowingly.
Qu Si led Su Xiao into the courtyard and introduced her to the house. It was bigger than she had imagined. Zhao Zhixun and Lan Qiuling lived in the front yard. When they came to the back row, Qu Si told Su Xiao that she and Zhao Yixuan lived on the right, then pointed to the left and said, "This will be where you and Nini will live from now on."
There are two bedrooms and a living room inside. Both the living room and bedroom are very large and elegantly decorated, with all the furniture you could need.
Nini jumped directly onto the big bed in the bedroom and shouted excitedly, "Mom, I like the bed here, it's much better than the bed at grandma's house!"
Although Su Xiao's residence during the years she lived with Gao Chengze was not bad, it was still incomparable to here. After returning to the Su family, it was even more ordinary. Thinking of Wang Xiurong's frugal nature, Su Xiao never thought of replacing many furniture even though they were old. The small bed in Nini's bedroom was where she slept when she was a child. The bed board was hard and small. Although there was a quilt on it, it was nothing like the big bed in front of her.
Children are naive and naturally express their direct thoughts.
But this made Su Xiao feel embarrassed and awkward again.
Qu Si vaguely saw Su Xiao's mood, smiled understandingly, and said to Nini, "Nini, since you like this place, come back here often with your mother in the future."
"Where is my dad? Can I bring my dad with me?" the little girl asked suddenly.
Qu Si was stunned.
Su Xiao hurriedly grabbed her daughter and scolded her, "Nini, this is not home, don't mess around."
"Mom, didn't you say you would come back to grandma's house today? If it's grandma's house, why do you say it's not our house? You never said anything about how I was doing at grandma's house before." The little girl pouted, looking aggrieved.
Su Xiao's whole body was stiff. Yes, this was also her grandmother's house. Why did she have to be so well-behaved and act like a guest?
Su Xiao herself knows the difference between the two, but Nini is still young and doesn’t understand the grudges between adults, so she doesn’t understand either!
"Of course this is also Nini's home. Nini can do whatever she wants. By the way, didn't you just say you wanted the Crystal Princess? Auntie will take you to see it now. In addition to the Crystal Princess, Auntie also has a lot of toys. If Nini likes any of them, Auntie will give them to you?" Suddenly, Qu Si spoke again and picked up Nini.
"Thank you, sister-in-law, and I'm sorry." Su Xiao said.
"You don't have to be polite, we're family. Nini is actually very cute."
"Well, most of the time she is indeed likable, but sometimes, she makes me anxious..." Su Xiao said subconsciously.
"All children are like this. Isn't it said that children are a combination of demons and angels?" Qu Si smiled.
Su Xiao felt a sudden warmth in her heart, so she asked, "Sister-in-law, you must like children very much. Why don't you have one with my brother? I heard from grandma the other day that you and my brother have been married for quite some time."
The smile on Qu Si's face froze for a moment, but he quickly said nonchalantly, "We do have plans, but things like this still have to go with the flow."
"Yeah, that's right. I know a relative who tried to conceive for two years before she got pregnant. Don't worry, sister-in-law. She should be pregnant soon. You and my brother are so outstanding, the baby we give birth to will definitely be more beautiful and lovely." Su Xiao said sincerely.
"Well, thank you for your words. I'll take Nini over first. You can take a look around the house and ask if there's anything else you need. Just tell Aunt Zhang, the aunt from before. She's the one who manages our family's daily needs. Or you can tell me."
"Okay, thank you, sister-in-law, thank you so much!" Su Xiao said gratefully.
Qu Si looked at her beautiful smiling face, his mind suddenly shook, but he calmed down after a few seconds. He smiled back at Su Xiao, picked up Nini and walked out.
Su Xiao looked around the house, but everything was comfortably and perfectly arranged, and there was no need to make any changes.
Later, seeing that Nini had not come back yet, Su Xiao thought that Qu Si liked children, so let him play with Nini for a while longer, so she left the house and prepared to look for Lan Qiuling.
Although Lan Qiuling didn't have time to ask her sister-in-law Qu Si to receive her, she had to go and see Lan Qiuling.
