Chapter 401 Don't Let Others Bully Her
Zhao Jiaying was reluctant to come, but as elders and Zhao Zhixun's brothers, they couldn't not come, otherwise the old lady would be unhappy and the clan members would criticize them.
Seeing Su Xiao being treated like a star and being warmly greeted by everyone, and standing next to the old lady, one can imagine how Zhao Zhikun and his wife felt.
Zhao Zhixun's eyes dimmed slightly, and he immediately came forward, "Brother, sister-in-law, please sit down."
Zhao Zhikun recovered and said to Su Xiao calmly, "Hui'er, welcome home."
In fact, Su Xiao had little interaction with Zhao Zhikun, and they had never even met formally. She only viewed Zhao Zhikun as Zhao Jiaying's father.
Su Xiao was inevitably upset because of Zhao Jiaying's grudges and entanglements, but at this moment, facing the sincerity in Zhao Zhikun's eyes and with so many people present, she politely and respectfully replied, "Thank you!"
Lu Minghui did not behave as easy-going as Zhao Zhikun. Her mind was full of scenes of her daughter's recent pain and sadness and complaints to her. She just saw Su Xiao being flattered and fawned over by everyone, and she looked so radiant. The comparison made her feel even more uncomfortable, so she was very cold towards Su Xiao.
Su Xiao ignored it, but the old lady noticed something. She didn't want her granddaughter to be bullied. Her youngest son's family might not dare to do anything because of his brother and sister-in-law, but as an old lady and the head of the family, no one dared to criticize what she did!
So, she let Su Xiao sit next to her throughout the entire banquet, trying her best to show her importance and care for Su Xiao. She also gave Su Xiao her most expensive dowry as a gift.
Naturally, everyone knew the significance and value of this thing to the old lady, and they were all stunned. They also knew more clearly in their hearts that this daughter who was recognized from somewhere else was not simple at all, and should not be offended or despised!
Su Xiao also felt the old lady's care and love for her. She had thought that the old lady would protect her, but she didn't expect her to protect her in such a way. She was very touched.
When dinner was over and all the relatives had left, the old lady, who was old, decided to stay overnight. Lan Qiuling then asked Su Xiao to bring Nini to stay there for a night as well. Su Xiao, thinking of the old lady's love for her, readily agreed.
"Call your adoptive mother first and explain everything to her so that she won't be disappointed." The old lady was thoughtful and immediately asked Su Xiao to call Wang Xiurong and tell her that she would stay here overnight.
Su Xiao nodded and dialed Wang Xiurong's cell phone.
Wang Xiurong was indeed surprised and a little dazed when she heard her say that she would not go back to sleep.
"Mom, I'm sorry. I thought of grandma sleeping here too, so I wanted to keep her company. She was really nice to me tonight." Su Xiao was afraid that her adoptive mother would be sad, so she hurried to explain.
Wang Xiurong recovered and said, "It's okay, it's okay. It's supposed to be like this. It's just one night. Didn't you often stay overnight at Yun Che's place before?"
Although her mother spoke in a light-hearted and cheerful manner, Su Xiao still felt a little guilty. Only after the considerate Wang Xiurong kept comforting and reassuring her did she feel relieved.
"It's getting late. You should go and talk to the old lady. She's not in good health and should rest early." Wang Xiurong urged.
Let’s chat for a few more minutes and then end the call.
The old lady was probably thinking about chatting with her granddaughter, so she was very energetic and didn't decide to rest until after nine o'clock.
"Grandma really wants to chat with you until dawn, but that's impossible. Fortunately, you are back. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future, right?" The old lady held Su Xiao's hand and said with a happy and reluctant smile.
Su Xiao immediately agreed, "Call me whenever you miss me, and I'll try to come see you."
"well!"
After the old lady fell asleep, Su Xiao returned to her bedroom. Nini had already fallen asleep by the nanny. Su Xiao was staring at her daughter's peaceful sleeping face until the phone rang.
It was Yun Che calling.
Su Xiao answered the call quickly.
Yun Che probably didn't expect her to answer so quickly. He was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "You answered so soon? Are you back home?"
Su Xiao pondered for a moment and said, "I didn't go home tonight. My grandma stayed here overnight, so I stayed with her. She fell asleep, and I just returned to my bedroom. By the way, where are you? Are you still busy at the company? Or are you out socializing?"
"I'm at home."
"You're at home?" Su Xiao was a little surprised, remembering that he once said that if she didn't accompany him, he would be bored staying at home alone.
"What? You don't believe me? Then I'll send you a video? Or the location?"
"Uh, no need, I believe it." Su Xiao said hurriedly.
Yun Che stopped teasing her and asked about her evening. Su Xiao told him, "I met my sister-in-law. She's really beautiful and has great temperament. She's the most beautiful woman I've ever seen. And my father... Minister Zhao. He's much better than my... mother."
Although Yun Che wasn't by Su Xiao's side, he had already guessed Su Xiao's feelings at the moment and couldn't help but feel happy for her. "Hearing you say that, they're all very good to you."
"It's, it's okay. My sister-in-law is a very nice person, but..." Su Xiao thought of Qu Si's strange behavior later and almost wanted to tell Yun Che, but considering that they were over the phone, she gave up and decided to talk about it when they met in person.
Next, she continued to talk to Yun Che about the others, "I heard that those relatives were all very close uncles and aunts. My father introduced their names one by one, but I didn't remember them all. However, my father said it didn't matter."
"Your father introduced you to them mainly to let them know your importance, not to really want you to associate with them. Your mother can take care of their affairs."
"Yes, my dad is really nice. Oh, and he also told me that he would try his best to get Ruirui back to me."
Yun Che was both surprised and not surprised when he heard this.
He had thought about this possibility, but he didn't expect it to happen so soon. Zhao Zhixun was so proactive and direct in telling Su Xiao. It seemed that family ties really were more important than anything else, and his own daughter was the most important.
“Girl, I’ve already told you that there are benefits to getting to know them.” Yun Che joked.
"Uh..." Su Xiao was embarrassed. She didn't get to know them for any benefit.
She was about to scold him, but there was a knock on the door, accompanied by Lan Qiuling's call.
"My mother is here to see me. That's it for now. We can talk again tomorrow." Su Xiao said goodbye to Yun Che.
"Come over to my place tomorrow night, okay?" Yun Che said.
Su Xiao was startled and said, "Let me see. It might not work. I didn't go home to spend the night today. I want to spend some time with my mother tomorrow. Although she said it's okay, I still feel a little uncomfortable. If I go to your place again tomorrow, I'm afraid she will have some crazy thoughts."
"Well, you don't want to come, and there are so many reasons."
"Uh, I'm not..."
"Okay, I was just kidding. Don't worry, your mother is here to see you. Go and keep her company. Good night, girl. I love you!"
"I love you too!" Su Xiao replied sweetly and hung up the phone reluctantly.
Then, go open the door.
