Before Xiao Ruanruan could return, Su Xiaowu warily pulled her behind him, frowning and glaring fiercely at Old Madam Qin, "Why are you asking this?"
Seeing Su Xiaowu's wary look, Madam Qin realized that she had indeed been too presumptuous.
He smiled gently and apologized, "I'm sorry, I was being presumptuous. I only asked because I thought Xiao Ruanruan looked a lot like one of my... juniors."
"Little friend, are you Little Softie's older brother?"
"You're the kid, your whole family are kids!" Su Xiaowu muttered in a very soft voice, her head lowered.
Only then did he raise his head and say loudly, "So what if it is? We don't know you. Why are you asking about our family? Ruan Ruan looks like your junior. Go ask your junior if he knows our Ruan Ruan!"
baffling!"
After finishing his tirade, Su Xiaowu waved his hand magnanimously and said, "However, considering your age and your sincere apology, I won't hold it against you."
As he spoke, he pulled Xiao Ruanruan into the cabin.
Little Ruanruan waved her milky white little hand at Old Madam Qin, "Goodbye, dear Grandma."
Gu Chen gave Old Madam Qin a deep look, then glanced meaningfully at the little girl, Ruan Ruan, who was being dragged along by Su Xiao Wu with her short legs.
——
When Xiao Ruanruan returned home with her older brother and sister, she saw Xia Pei and his wife, along with Xia Yumeng, kneeling in a row at their front door.
The old woman from the Xia family was also released and sat at their doorstep.
When Xia Pei and his family of three saw a car stop, they rushed over and saw Su Xiaowu taking Xiao Ruanruan out of the car.
They paused for a moment, probably because they had some psychological reservations about having to kowtow and beg for mercy from such a tiny little girl.
But then I thought of my daughter, who had been taken to a juvenile detention center…
They rushed to the police station as soon as they heard the news today, and used all the connections they could, but no matter what they said, they couldn't see Xia Yuan.
It is said that Xia Yuan committed no ordinary crime, but is suspected of selling scientific research secrets and infringing on national security, and has now been taken over by the National Security Bureau.
Even his brother-in-law, who was already in the officialdom, tried to find connections everywhere, but to no avail.
Xia Pei steeled himself and, with tears streaming down his face, begged Xiao Ruanruan, "Ruanruan, your uncle knows that your cousin Yuan Yuan made a mistake, but Yuan Yuan is still your cousin!"
She didn't directly touch your mecha, take pictures of it and send them to that spy. Besides, didn't you eventually win the preliminary round of the Youth Science and Technology Competition?
Please go and plead with them to release your cousin, okay? I'm begging you, Uncle.
Feng Qiao immediately chimed in, "That's right, Ruan Ruan, you haven't lost anything, so please forgive your cousin this time, okay?"
Before Xiao Ruanruan could even speak, Su Lei, who was standing to the side, was about to explode with anger.
What do you mean by saying they still won the Youth Science and Technology Competition in the end and suffered no losses?
Xiao Ruanruan worked tirelessly through the night to design the mecha, Gu Chen prepared the materials, and he and Tang Guang, two novices, spent half a month figuring out how to assemble it. The mecha was finally completed, but it was blown to pieces because of Xia Yuan's jealousy.
If it weren't for the fact that Xiao Ruanruan assembled a Peppa Pig No. 1 while waiting for Gu Chen to calm herself down, how would they have won the preliminary championship of the Youth Science and Technology Competition?
Now these two have the nerve to say that they won the championship and suffered no loss?
Without saying a word, Su Lei went to the garden and dragged out the high-pressure water hose, while also calling out Big Yellow and Little Flower.
The Xia family was terrified of being chased by dogs and washed by water. Their faces changed when they saw the high-pressure water gun and the dog.
Xia Pei quickly swallowed and said, "Ruan Ruan, your uncle was wrong, your uncle was wrong. Your uncle knows that you kids worked very hard making that mecha."
So, how much is your mecha worth? Your uncle will pay you back!
"You can't afford to pay for it!" Su Lei said coldly.
“Mr. Xia, our Su family has no kinship with your Xia family. Please do not try to claim kinship.” Su Yiqing walked out of the villa with a leisurely air, his cool demeanor making his aura even more powerful.
Little Ruanruan ran over and hugged Su Yiqing's leg, "Big brother."
Su Yiqing scooped up Xiao Ruanruan and held her in his arms, his aloof aura instantly vanishing. He glanced at Gu Chen beside him, then pretended to be serious and gently pinched Xiao Ruanruan's delicate little nose. "Now you've learned to lie to your big brother?"
With a serious expression, Xiao Ruanruan said, "Xiao Ruanruan didn't lie to big brother. Xiao Ruanruan just forgot to mention Brother Gu Chen when she was on a voice call with big brother."
Looking at the unexpectedly cute appearance of the little girl, Su Yiqing couldn't vent her anger, and only gave Gu Chen a warning look.
Gu Chen, on the other hand, kept his eyes down and pretended not to see anything.
Su Yiqing walked up to Xia Pei and stopped. "I remember Mr. Xia said yesterday that he was willing to give the property certificate and land deed of the Xia family's old house to my grandmother. I wonder if Mr. Xia brought them with him."
If not, the Xia family probably wouldn't have made it through today.
Xia Pei knew that begging the Su family was useless; they wouldn't soften their hearts at all. He stood up, gritted his teeth, and said, "I brought them, but besides the Xia family, I also want you to release my daughter."
Otherwise, you can forget about getting your hands on the Xia family's old house!
Su Yiqing's lips curled into a cold smile. "In that case, Mr. Xia should choose to abandon the Xia family."
He carried the little girl and walked into the manor.
