Chapter 17 Someone Outside the Door



Third floor.

Xiao Siyun toured her room happily.

Although she had seen the effect in photos and videos, she was even more satisfied when she saw it with her own eyes.

"Do you like it?"

"like."

The cloakroom next door was filled with a large number of new clothes that Xiao Yingzhi had ordered.

Xiao Siyun felt that he might not be able to wear it.

Xiao Yingzhi said: "If they don't like it, let them take it away."

She praised sincerely, "It's very generous. Thank you, brother. I like it very much!"

Xiao Yingzhi felt satisfied because his sister liked it.

At this time, the housekeeper came over and asked them to go downstairs to eat.

Xiao Siyun was in a good mood and didn't want to embarrass them, "Oh, let them eat first."

Then the two siblings slowly walked from the third floor to the second floor, from the second floor to the first floor, and then walked around the courtyard before returning to the dining table.

Xiao Siyun was surprised to see that the dishes on the table had not been touched.

"Didn't I tell you to eat first?"

Xiao Yingzhi pulled a chair for her and said, "We have to wait until everyone is gathered before we can have dinner."

Xiao Siyun thought, why didn’t you say so earlier?

She knew that Xiao Yingzhi was deliberately trying to anger the two of them, but she was more interested in the rules of the family.

"Does that mean I still have to keep quiet while eating and sleeping?"

"We men don't like to talk, but you open your mouth and eat and talk at the same time, and you really don't stop."

"..." Xiao Si rolled his eyes at him and muttered while drinking his soup, "It's so boring to be silent."

Suddenly my eyes lit up in surprise, and I took a bite of the chewy pig's trotter, which was soft, glutinous and tasty.

"Mmm! This is delicious!"

"Do you like it? This is the pig's trotter soup that Aunt Wang Hui made especially for you."

Xiao Yingzhi said this, motioning her to look at a slightly plump aunt wearing an apron.

Xiao Siyun praised it generously, "Auntie Wang Hui! It's super delicious! I want to eat this again tonight!"

"Thank you, Miss. Pig's trotters can replenish collagen, which is very good for wound recovery."

"Yeah, you made such delicious food for me, so I have to thank you. I love you."

Xiao Siyun's mouth was so full of food that the pig's trotter bones had poked a small pointed tip out of her face, but she still insisted on putting down her chopsticks and made a heart shape with her hands to Aunt Wang Hui.

It was the first time that Aunt Wang Hui received such direct praise in this family. She was flattered and rubbed her apron with her hands, feeling a little at a loss.

She watched Xiao Siyun eating, and he looked very hungry. When he ate something he liked, his eyes would narrow happily, and then he would share it with Xiao Yingzhi.

The girl has a small mouth and eats politely.

It’s her fault for cutting the pig’s trotter into too big pieces. She should cut it into smaller pieces next time!

Xiao Yun and Chen Tong sneered softly.

It's just an ordinary home-cooked meal, how can you praise it? You are a country bumpkin who has never tasted good food.

They work for a salary, so why should they be praised? They won't be so happy that they would work for nothing.

After dinner, Xiao Siyun touched his full stomach, crossed his legs and sat on the sofa to watch variety shows.

She glanced at the mother and daughter who were preparing to go out at the entrance and expressed sympathy for Xiao Yun.

"After the college entrance exam, you still have to go to classes every day. Music students have it really hard."

“…”

Xiao Yun glared at her quickly, turned around and walked out.

Xiao Yingzhi handed the cut fruit to her arms, sat down next to her, and asked casually.

"Don't you want to learn something?"

"I'm a patient. Just lying comfortably gives me a headache. How can I study?"

"You're out of the hospital, sister."

Xiao Siyun slapped away his hand that was stretched out to take the peach away, "You eat the plum."

Xiao Yingzhi protested, "Only give me food that you don't like."

"You've been going against me lately."

"Isn't that your rebellious phase?"

The housekeepers watched the two siblings playing on the sofa in the living room, listened to their hearty laughter and cute conversations, and couldn't help but look over from time to time.

They worked at the Xiao family, with the longest length of service being three years and the shortest being five months. They all felt that the atmosphere at the Xiao family was cold.

Mr. Xiao is too cold to his wife and too strict to his children; the children have no feelings for their stepmother and stepsister, only respect for them; and in contrast, the mother and daughter only try to please them hypocritically.

So they all said that this didn't look like a family, but just a few people eating together. They didn't even talk or make eye contact at the table.

Just to have enough food and clothing.

Until today, when the eldest lady came back, everything changed.

God knows when they first saw the doting smile on the face of the cold-faced boss Xiao Yingzhi.

I almost thought I had accidentally entered some strange plot and got the NPC character that said "Master hasn't laughed like this for a long time."

While Xiao Siyun was taking a lunch break, Xiao Yingzhi was working in the study, and they crowded in the shade of the courtyard to have a heated discussion.

"The young lady praised my soup for being delicious."

"The eldest lady also likes my scrambled eggs with tomatoes. She ate most of it."

"The eldest lady is so polite. When I gave her the bag, she even said thank you. She is completely different from Miss Xiao Yun."

When Xiao Yun was mentioned, the atmosphere instantly cooled down, but soon became lively again because of Xiao Siyun.

"The eldest lady seems really easy to get along with, and her smile is so sweet."

"Who knows? She's so cute when she's Yin Yang Miss Xiao Yun!"

When Xiao Yun was mentioned again, everyone was obviously choked, but they couldn't resist the burning curiosity in their hearts and started talking again.

"Really? You didn't see the expressions on the mother and daughter's faces. I was laughing like crazy!"

"When he urged them to eat, the young master deliberately didn't tell them the rules of the meal and made them wait. It made me laugh to death."

The afternoon sun shines through the gauze curtains, shining warmly on my body.
