Chapter 943: Chilling Heart
Although Qu Si had never been friendly towards her in the past, always looking down on her and showing disdain and contempt, in recent times, in addition to these, there seemed to be some other intentions that she could not understand.
If it were before, Su Xiao would definitely think that she was overthinking it, but after everything that happened during this period, her attitude towards Qu Si had long since changed. She would no longer trust Qu Si unconditionally like before, so she said to Lin Xirou, "Xirou, I want to see that surveillance video. Can you help me get it?"
"Sure, the manager who works there happens to be a relative of my friend. He asked my friend to record this on his phone. I'll bring it over to show you. Are you home now?"
"I'm on my mom's side."
"You're at your cousin's place? Then..."
"It's okay. I just came over to get something. I'm not eating here. My mom has a party tonight, and I can take Xixi home anytime. If it's convenient for you, come over to my house in half an hour? I'm also going to go back from here."
"That's convenient. I have nothing to do this afternoon. I'll come find you then."
"Okay, be safe."
"The same to you."
The phone was hung up.
Su Xiao was in a heavy mood.
She guessed Lu Minghui, Zhao Jiaying, and even Yun Che's political enemies, but she really didn't think of Qu Si.
Yes, why did Qu Si do this? What was her purpose? What good would it do to her?
Su Xiao could no longer feel at peace and always felt very sad. Her relationship with Qu Si had become so chaotic. She had experienced helplessness, discouragement, and despair, but none of them were like this. She felt a chill in her bones!
"Are you sure everything is fine? I feel like Liangliang still affects your mood to some extent. It's been a while. You should discuss with Ache how to send him away." Lan Qiuling saw that Su Xiao was in a trance and her condition was obviously not right, so she couldn't help nagging again.
Su Xiao stared at her mother in a daze and subconsciously asked, "Mom, how is my sister-in-law doing recently? Is her relationship with my brother still the same?"
Lan Qiuling was stunned. "Why did you mention your sister-in-law for no reason? Did you just run into each other again? Did something unpleasant happen again?"
"No, I might have been warm and attentive to her before, but now that our relationship has gotten to this point, it's all tacitly understood. I won't even say hello."
"Then why are you asking these questions?" Lan Qiuling was well aware of the relationship between her daughter and daughter-in-law, and was also troubled by it. However, she could not find a way to resolve it, so she just put it off for the time being.
She took Su Xiao's hand and said earnestly, "Mom knows you feel wronged, but no matter what, she is your brother's wife. Just be patient and think of it as giving me face, okay?"
"Mom, don't worry, I won't bother with her. Although I haven't shown any good intentions towards her, I won't have any bad intentions towards her. Anyway, let's just leave it at that. She doesn't want to see me, so I'll just avoid her."
"Ah, I don't know what's wrong with your brother. He couldn't let go of Ling Qianyu before, but now that he has no plans to develop a relationship with Ling Qianyu, why is he so indifferent to Qu Si? That's why Mom always wants to tolerate and indulge her. I don't know when your brother will be nice to her. Everything depends on your brother. She's so resentful of you because she can't get your brother's love. If she and your brother were in love, how could she treat you like this?"
Su Xiao looked at her worried mother and actually wanted to tell her that waiting for this day was not so easy. She used to hope that her brother and sister-in-law would fall in love as soon as possible and have a happy marriage.
But now her mentality has changed unconsciously. She thinks that there is a reason why her brother cannot love Qu Si. Maybe Qu Si is not as good as everyone thinks. And if Liang Liang’s incident this time is really related to Qu Si, then Qu Si is even less worthy of her brother’s love!
But these are just guesses. Su Xiao still hopes that she is wrong, otherwise it will be really heartbreaking!
So I continued to comfort my mother, "Sister-in-law loves my brother so much, and my brother is so kind, he will definitely be touched by my sister-in-law. Don't worry. When are you going out? I have an appointment with Xirou, she will come to my place later. I am going to take Xixi home."
"I'll leave in ten minutes. I'll ask the driver to drop you off."
"Uh, no need. I can just take a taxi back, or I'll ask the driver to come over. Don't waste your time."
"What's the delay? I wasn't really willing to go there in the first place. What's the big deal if I'm late?" Lan Qiuling said with some disdain. No matter how easy-going she was in normal times, she still had the airs of an official's wife.
Su Xiao stared blankly at her mother, wondering if she would slowly become like her mother when Yun Che reached a certain level in the future.
It's so hard to imagine.
"What are you laughing at?" Lan Qiuling asked.
Su Xiao continued to look at her mother and confessed, "When I saw you just now... you seemed a little different from usual."
"Are you referring to me being arrogant? Silly boy, it's not necessarily bad to be arrogant. There are some things we just need to know how to do. We can choose not to bully others, but we can't let others lead us by the nose, thinking we're easy to control. Since we're in that position, we must uphold the dignity we deserve. Sometimes being arrogant is also a warning to others, so that they won't dare to easily touch you with any bad intentions. Your every move involves Yun Che, especially as his position rises in the future. You must be more careful with your words and actions, and the people you'll be facing will be more complicated. But there's a long way to go, and Mom will teach you."
"Well, you must teach me." Su Xiao held her mother's hand, her tone coquettish. "Sometimes I tell Yun Che that I can just ignore them, but Yun Che says how can I ignore them? Living in that circle means socializing. He tells me not to worry and that he will teach me when the time comes. But he's so busy with work, and I don't want him to worry about such trivial matters."
"So you have the heart to let your mother worry about you? It's true that girls can't be kept at home when they grow up!"
"Uh, I..."
"I'm just kidding! After all, I'm your mother. As long as I'm around, I'll worry about you. But you're right, Che is so busy, don't bother him with such a small matter. I'll teach you. If you perform well, I'll also be proud. People will say, her mother is so-and-so, how can she not be excellent!"
"Yes, I will learn from you and make you proud!" Su Xiao continued with a sweet smile.
Ten minutes later, everyone got in the car and first arrived downstairs of Su Xiao and Yun Che's residence. The driver then continued to take Lan Qiuling to the appointment.
Not long after Su Xiao returned home, Lin Xirou also arrived, and Su Xiao's mood immediately became solemn again.
Nothing could be seen from the surveillance footage. Lin Xirou looked at Su Xiao's heavy expression and subconsciously tried to comfort her, "Maybe it was just a coincidence. After all, why would she do that?"
"Yeah, I've never understood what's the benefit of her doing this, but Xirou, I found that I have changed. I can no longer treat her normally." Su Xiao smiled bitterly.
