At the entrance of the Su family's villa on the hillside.
Su Xixi sat on a bench by the garden outside the wall with one foot on the chair, adopting a boss-like posture. She had a blade of grass in her mouth and another in her hand, which she lightly tapped in the air. Her delicate eyebrows were furrowed, and she looked worried.
Seeing Su Yiqing's car return, Su Qianqian jumped up and rushed over, grabbing Xiao Ruanruan's little paw and looking her around.
Little Ruanruan was completely confused. "Sister, what are you looking for?"
"Are you hurt?" Su Xixi asked with a serious expression.
Little Ruanruan's head was filled with even more questions. "Why am I hurt?"
Su Lei, standing nearby, rolled his eyes. "With me here, how could my sister possibly get hurt?"
Su Xixi looked at Su Lei with disdain, "Since you're here, why did you let that vixen find the opportunity to fawn over Ruan Ruan?"
As she spoke, she took out her phone, scrolled through a Douyin video of Qiu Shun throwing Xia Yuan into a trash can, and shoved it in front of Su Lei to show him.
Su Lei tilted his head back to see the video content clearly.
He said with a disdainful look, "That's a vixen dealing with her own unwanted suitors. What does it have to do with our little Softie?"
Su Xixi asked with a look of surprise and doubt: "Huh, wasn't it that guy surnamed Xia who bullied our little Ruanruan, the vixen hero... ptooey ptooey, the bear who saved the beauty?"
"No!" Su Lei said, giving Qianqian a disdainful look.
After a slight sigh of relief, Sisi lowered her head in frustration again.
Little Ruanruan snuggled into her older sister's arms, lifted her little face, and looked at her sister face to face. "Sister, why are you unhappy again?"
"Sigh!" Su Xixi sighed in frustration, pinching her soft, chubby face into a deformed bun with her little hands and said, "You ran off to that special class for gifted children, and I don't even know what's going on with you at school."
Ruan Ruan hadn't expected that her sister was upset about this, and was just thinking about how to comfort her.
Susie had already healed herself and, holding Xiao Ruanruan's little paw, said, "Let's go fishing!"
Little Softie: "..."
My sister doesn't need any comforting at all; she's just wasting her time!
However, Su Xixi had just taken Xiao Ruanruan to the lakeside, fed the fish, and prepared the fishing spot. She hadn't even finished threading the earthworms onto the hooks when she saw three annoying figures walk in through their front door.
Su Xixi rolled up her sleeves. "Little Ruanruan, it looks like we can't fish today. Take the fishing rod with us; we might be able to use it as a dog-beating stick later!"
When the two sisters returned to the living room, Xia Lanjiao had already sat down on the sofa with her two granddaughters, Xia Yuan and her sister, Xia Yumeng, while their maternal grandparents sat opposite them.
The two sisters exchanged a glance and obediently went to sit down next to their grandmother.
Grandma didn't give her half-sister a friendly look. After all, this good sister and her good mother had almost sent her to another man's bed, ruining her life.
"Xia Lanjiao, do you think that I only slapped you once yesterday and made your face asymmetrical? You still dare to come to my door today?" Grandma said coldly.
Xia Lanjiao's gaze was still sweeping around the villa. From the moment she entered the estate, she had been secretly gritting her teeth.
Although the location of this manor cannot compare to the mansions of old noble families like the Xia family, the Su family was able to buy such a hillside manor even though they had no roots in the capital, and the interior decoration was many times better than that of the Xia family.
This also demonstrates the Su family's considerable wealth.
Her eyes were filled with jealousy as she looked at her grandmother. That shameless woman, she eloped with a poor boy back then, why didn't she stay poor in the remote mountain village of Chongqing for the rest of her life?
She even managed to marry her daughter to a wealthy man, and she gave birth to several capable grandchildren.
"Sister, I misspoke yesterday because I was too protective of my grandson."
"We sisters haven't seen each other for so many years. Sister, you know my personality. When I get anxious, I don't care about anything. Please be magnanimous and don't hold it against me, okay?" Xia Lanjiao said in a coquettish tone.
Grandma's expression instantly turned as if she had swallowed a fly.
Grandpa almost vomited. If he hadn't been afraid that his wife would be bullied, he wouldn't have wanted to see this disgusting woman at all.
"Xia Lanjiao, if you have something to say, just say it. If you don't, then get out of here. We're all old foxes, don't try to act all high and mighty with me!" Grandma said sternly.
Xia Lanjiao's smile became even brighter and more ingratiating. She glanced at Qianqian and Xiaoruanruan, clearly indicating that she wanted her grandmother to call Qianqian and Xiaoruanruan away, but her grandmother completely ignored her.
She could only say to Xia Yuan herself, "Yuan Yuan, didn't you just say your classmate lives right across from your aunt's house? Why don't you go play with your classmate?"
Xia Yuan's eyes lit up. After she got back, her grandmother helped her analyze the situation. The reason why Gu Chen refused to tutor her and even threw her in the trash can was probably because Gu Chen didn't like girls who were too weak, which was why he was so averse to her asking him to tutor her.
If she acts smarter and more assertive in front of Gu Chen, she should still be able to become friends with him.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ruanruan immediately sat up straight.
This brat is going to find Brother Gu Chen again...
Seeing Xiao Ruanruan's little movements, Su Xixi knew that she was worried about the fox spirit. She pressed Xiao Ruanruan down with one paw and whispered in her ear, "Your fox spirit will handle her own bad love affairs. We have to stay here to protect Grandma."
Although Xiao Ruanruan was a little worried, she didn't actually plan to go with them, since her grandmother was the most important person.
Xia Lanjiao watched with satisfaction as Xia Yuan walked out of the living room. If her youngest granddaughter could grow up to be Gu Chen's childhood sweetheart and marry him when she grew up, then her eldest granddaughter could...
She looked at her grandmother and said earnestly, "Sister, we sisters have indeed had quite a few misunderstandings over the years. Now that we're both this old, practically halfway to the grave, why don't we just let bygones be bygones and put all those old grudges behind us!"
Grandma watched her younger sister, who had always been innocent and pure, perform quietly without saying a word.
Xia Lanjiao assumed that her grandmother was tempted, since even if a woman gets married, her roots are still in her parents' home.
In addition, as people get older, they tend to want things to be complete and fulfilling. She felt that her grandmother must have wanted to reconcile with them and return to the Xia family a long time ago.
She felt a surge of pride and pulled her eldest granddaughter, Xia Yumeng, who was sitting next to her, to her hand, saying, "Sister, I heard that your eldest grandsons are all getting on in years, but they are still unmarried."
My daughter Mengmeng is widely recognized as the top socialite in Beijing, and her age is a perfect match for your family. How about we put aside our past grievances and try to bring the two children together, strengthening our family ties through marriage?
(The power went out at home, and my phone ran out of battery after typing this much, so that's all for today!)
