Tang Xiu'e stood there, her hands gripping the mop, looking completely unfazed: "He may not have been good to you, but he was still your father, and legally you can't escape your responsibility to support him. Besides, if you hadn't put him in jail, would he have gotten sick?"
I sneered: "He brought this upon himself, what does it have to do with me? I wish his illness would get worse so he could be reborn in paradise sooner."
"Jiang Wan, you...you really don't plan to give it to me?"
"If I don't give it to you, what can you do to me?" I sat down behind my desk and asked with a cold smile.
She stood there angrily, glaring at me for a long while, before turning and storming off.
I couldn't help but frown, and suspicion arose in my heart.
Giving up so easily?
This is unlike her usual style.
I was worried that she might have some other scheme, so I called Xiao Yingtao in and told her to tell the cleaning department to keep an eye on Tang Xiu'e and to report any issues to me immediately.
However, nothing unexpected happened until the end of the workday.
Su Shenglin did indeed come to pick me up, and we went back to his villa together.
This is my first time visiting his territory.
These detached lakeside villas are tranquil, elegant, and luxurious, like a paradise on earth.
In the depths of winter, the area outside the villa is desolate and serene, much like a landscape painting by a master.
But once you push open the door and step into his private domain, you are greeted by a scene full of life, just like springtime.
The stream babbles, fish swim leisurely, green plants flourish, and flowers are fragrant.
"The layout here is somewhat similar to Suzhou Garden. I wonder if you like it. As I mentioned before, if you don't like my current property, we can choose other properties."
Su Shenglin led me toward the main body of the villa, explaining the surrounding layout and structure along the way.
I thought to myself, what right do I have to dislike it?
This large detached house, worth over 100 million, is one of the few in the entire city.
Once inside the villa, every corner of the house is laid out like an art exhibition.
I didn't respond to him, but instead turned around and asked curiously, "Don't you feel lonely living here all by yourself?"
Su Shenglin smiled, looked down and operated his phone, and the smart devices in the entire villa immediately turned on.
"I like quiet, so there are no servants here. The Su family will arrange for someone to come and clean regularly."
I nodded silently. "That's good."
But why did he bring me here?
Are we going to stay here tonight?
My mind went blank for a moment, and I realized I hadn't brought any clothes and there wouldn't be any clean clothes to change into.
and……
Given our current relationship, if I were to bring the other person home for the night, the meaning would be self-evident.
Is it going to be this fast?
They haven't been in a relationship for very long...
My heart was pounding, and I didn't notice that Su Shenglin had already turned and walked away.
"Wanwan, what do you want to eat? Can we cook dinner ourselves?" His voice suddenly came, startling me and bringing me back to my senses.
He looked around and found him in the kitchen, opening the refrigerator.
After I walked over, he suggested, "How about we go out to eat later?"
I looked into the refrigerator and was surprised: "You don't even live here often, why do you keep so much food in the refrigerator?"
He reached out and put his arm around me, whispering in my ear, "I had Butler Zhou deliver it today."
I turned to look at him, our faces almost touching. "Since you've already brought it all, I'll show off my skills to Second Master Su!"
He smiled and kissed me, "Okay, I'll help you."
"OK."
"Well... which kitchen do you want to use? Anyway, all the kitchen utensils are provided."
The villa has three kitchens, one for preparing Western food, one for Chinese food, and one for barbecue parties.
"I'm good at Chinese food, so this kitchen will do."
I pointed to the Chinese kitchen and then went inside with Su Shenglin to get busy.
In the past, when Gu Yanqing was sick, he often had no appetite. In order to make him eat more, I specially studied cooking skills and have a lot of experience in making medicinal cuisine.
But tonight I'll just have some simple home-style dishes.
Su Shenglin didn't sit in the living room like a big shot, playing on his phone and waiting for dinner. Instead, just as he said, he stayed by my side helping me out.
I've only ever seen such beautiful and equal love in TV dramas; I never dreamed that one day I would experience it myself.
Su Shenglin was very supportive; I cooked three dishes and a soup, and he ate them all up.
"If cooking weren't so tiring, I would love to eat your cooking every day."
"The chef at Su Garden is much better than me."
“That’s different; the mood while eating is different. For them, cooking is a job, but for you, it’s for me.”
Seeing his ambiguous smile, I snorted coldly, "You're overthinking it. I wanted to eat it myself."
"Well, I'm just here to freeload."
I put the dishes back in the kitchen. Su Shenglin said someone would come to clean them up tomorrow, but I still cleaned them up briefly and put them in the dishwasher.
This is such a small matter, why leave it to bother someone else tomorrow? What will people think?
After dinner, he took me on a tour of the entire villa, just to help me digest my food.
When we got back to the first floor, he asked me again, "Do you like it here? If you do, find some time to move here. It's just sitting empty anyway."
