Tang Diexin, unwilling to argue with her daughter any longer, finally revealed the purpose of her trip.
"I don't want to deal with you. I'm here today to make a deal with you."
Ye Xiaoman narrowed her eyes warily and asked, puzzled.
What kind of transaction?
Tang Diexin said calmly.
“If you can persuade your brother to come home, I will give Elizabeth back to you.”
Ye Xiaoman's eyes lit up when she heard Elizabeth's name.
"Elizabeth? Are you serious?"
Elizabeth was a black French Bulldog she owned before she went abroad. She couldn't take her with her when she left the country, even though she always missed her.
However, due to the strained relationship with his parents, he has not been able to go home to visit it.
She also felt that even if she asked her parents for it, they wouldn't give it back to her, since she had bought it with her parents' pocket money, and it was considered part of their assets.
Tang Diexin smiled and said, "Seriously."
She really didn't know what sins she had committed. She was originally the envy of others for having both a son and a daughter.
But who knew that once the children grew up, they would become wild?
My daughter ran away to the country when she was 18 and hasn't contacted me for years. My son also graduated from university and has never come home since.
She and her husband have always managed their large family business, and before they knew it, they were middle-aged.
The older I get, the lonelier I feel. I still wish my daughter and son could spend more time with me.
Ye Xiaoman's personality and rebellious spirit are much stronger than Ye Xiaotian's.
Moreover, Ye Xiaotian listens to Ye Xiaoman very much, so she and her husband discussed it and had no choice but to resort to this desperate measure.
Ye Xiaoman did not answer immediately. She rested her chin on her hand and began to think seriously.
Is the younger brother's freedom more important or Elizabeth's?
The result is obvious.
"Alright, I'll try to persuade him for you."
Tang Diexin nodded in satisfaction, then took out a black card from her wallet and handed it to Ye Xiaoman.
Ye Xiaoman didn't answer immediately, and asked warily, "What do you mean?"
Consider this your fee for persuading Xiaotian; take it or leave it!
"Why not take it if it's free!"
Ye Xiaoman accepted the black card without ceremony.
She's not exactly rolling in money lately; she just bought two houses as investments and two cars.
Tang Diexin chuckled softly, said nothing more to her daughter, and left the room with Ye Shanhe.
The door was closed tightly.
Ye Xiaoman breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and returned to the dining table, sat down opposite Su Luo, picked up her chopsticks, and intended to continue eating her noodles.
But she noticed that Su Luo's face was a little pale, and asked with concern.
"Xiao Luo, what's wrong? Did I scare you just now?"
Su Luo curled the corners of her mouth, smiled, and shook her head.
No, no.
Although Ye Xiaoman's father looked a bit intimidating, and their arguing was quite frightening, he was instantly moved when he saw Tang Diexin give Ye Xiaoman the black card.
What he found even more unforgettable was the last look the two gave Ye Xiaoman before they left.
Beneath her calm eyes lay a deep well of love.
At that moment, he felt that Ye Xiaoman's parents should love their daughter, but why they had ended up like this with her was another matter.
It's very likely that both of them are too proud to admit their mistakes and are unwilling to take the initiative to reconcile with their daughter.
Thinking of this, a bittersweet feeling slowly rose in Su Luo's heart.
Honestly, he was really envious.
Because he doesn't even know who his parents are.
He never envied Song Lingshan. Although Song Lingshan's father also had feelings for her, he was too controlling and didn't consider her feelings at all.
But Ye Xiaoman's parents are completely different. Judging from the fact that Tang Diexin just gave her daughter money, even if their relationship is very bad, they would never let their daughter be alone and helpless abroad and turn a blind eye to it.
He speculated that Ye Xiaoman's success abroad was not only due to her own talent and hard work, but also likely because her parents were secretly helping her behind the scenes.
But these were just his guesses, without any factual evidence, so he still didn't tell Ye Xiaoman.
Ye Xiaoman had no idea what Su Luo was thinking.
Looking at Su Luo with concern, he continued.
"Really? But you don't seem happy. Is something on your mind?"
Su Luo tried hard to suppress her negative emotions and said with a smile.
"Really, there isn't any. Hurry up and eat your noodles, or they'll get soggy."
While I may feel envious, I still have to face reality and live my own life.
He is an orphan, which is something he cannot change, so there is no need for him to make trouble for himself.
Seeing that Su Luo was unwilling to talk, Ye Xiaoman did not force him.
After finishing their meal, the two returned to the karaoke room and began practicing their songs.
They practiced until sunset.
Su Luo's voice was hoarse; she really couldn't hold on any longer.
Ye Xiaoman somehow got hold of a throat lozenge, put it to his lips, and said with a smile.
"Xiao Luo, eat it."
Su Luo's fingers, which were hooking the guitar strings, paused slightly. Her eyelids drooped, and she asked blankly.
"What, what is this?"
How come I was practicing singing perfectly fine, and then suddenly I had to take medicine?
Seeing that he didn't recognize her, Ye Xiaoman smiled mysteriously.
"aphrodisiac."
"ah?!"
Su Luo's body trembled, and she almost dropped the guitar in her arms.
"O(∩_∩)O Hahahaha!"
Sitting next to her, Ye Xiaoman laughed so hard she almost fell over, and said helplessly.
"Xiao Luo, you're so silly!"
So adorable! She'd never seen anyone so clueless before; it's absolutely hilarious!
Su Luo felt ashamed and helplessly wiped the cold sweat from her forehead.
"Sister, please stop making fun of me. What is it?"
Does an aphrodisiac look like this? He's never seen one before.
Why did he have to take medicine himself? Didn't Xiaoman think he was a woman?
What can women do?
He really wants to know; can anyone tell him the answer?
After Ye Xiaoman finished laughing, she looked at Su Luo again and explained.
"Medicine for your throat, you fool."
"Then, why did you say yes, that it was...?"
After stammering out her question, Su Luo's cheeks involuntarily flushed red.
I'm starting to regret it.
Why did I ask? I was being a bit cheeky, damn it.
Ye Xiaoman suddenly stood up, walked to Su Luo, lowered her head, looked down at him, and put the pill back to his lips, her voice low and hoarse.
"I'll tell you after you eat it."
Su Luo lowered her head slightly, parted her red lips, and obediently swallowed the pill.
Ye Xiaoman's calm eyes began to burn with passion.
As Su Luo swallowed the pill, her cool lips and warm, soft tongue brushed against her fingertips.
It's so itchy!
It felt like a feather gently stroking the tip of my heart.
Su Luo put the pill in her mouth and looked up.
The moment my eyes met Ye Xiaoman's, my heart skipped a beat.
Ye Xiaoman's fair and delicate face was flushed, her amber phoenix eyes gleamed with a dangerous light, and her rosy lips were slightly parted, as if she wanted to devour him.
In a panic, I accidentally swallowed the pills I had in my mouth.
With a thud!
My throat, which was already hoarse, dry, and a little sore, was even more painful after the pill was applied, to the point that I felt like I was about to fly away.
"Cough cough!"
Su Luo couldn't stop coughing violently.
