In the afternoon, Lan Chen returned to the secretary's office and gave Yu Xiao some company information, asking her to familiarize herself with some company systems, the situation of each department, and the personality and preferences of the president. Yu Xiao carefully read it for an afternoon, and when she got off work, Lan Chen asked her to leave on time because she was not very busy at the moment. Yu Xiao took her bag and left the secretary's office, called her good friend An An, and the three of them agreed to meet in the square in front of the company.
The three of them are best friends and work in the same company. Today is their first day. Such a coincidence is really exciting.
"I think we should have a good celebration tonight! What do you think?" An An was the first to suggest that such a memorable day should not be allowed to pass by so dully.
"Yes, I agree!" Xiaotong nodded in strong support.
"Then where are we going?" Anyway, he would be alone at home, and time would pass faster if he was with two good friends. Yu Xiao immediately nodded in agreement.
"I heard that a great western restaurant has just opened on this street. Let's go there tonight!"
"Okay, let's go!"
"Let's go!"
The three of them happily walked to the roadside to wait for a taxi. Just as they reached the roadside, Yu Xiao heard the phone in her bag ringing. She took it out and saw that it was an unfamiliar landline number.
"Hello!" Not knowing who was calling, Yu Xiao greeted politely.
"Xiaoxiao, it's me!" The voice coming from the phone was Liu Xiaoyun's.
"Oh, Mom, what do you want to talk to me about?" Yu Xiaoren was a little nervous when she heard that it was her mother-in-law calling. When she left last night, Liu Xiaoyun looked a little unhappy.
"Come home for dinner tonight! Although Shaonan is not at home, you are a new bride after all. It would be too lonely to go home for dinner alone right after you got married. You should be off work at this time, right? Should I ask the driver to pick you up, or should you take a taxi here yourself?" Liu Xiaoyun said in one breath, waiting for Yu Xiao to reply.
"Mom... well, I can just take a taxi myself!" Yu Xiao wanted to refuse, but she didn't have the courage to say it. After all, Liu Xiaoyun was right. She had just married, and even if she didn't move back to the Kang family villa, she would still have to go back to the Kang family for meals. Otherwise, it would be a bit unreasonable.
"Okay! That puts my mind at ease!"
"Goodbye, Mom!"
Seeing Yu Xiao hang up the phone, two good friends came up to her. An An stared at her and asked, "Xiao Xiao, who called you just now? Was it your picky mother-in-law?"
"Of course it is. When have you ever seen her speak to her mother in this tone?" Without waiting for Yu Xiao to answer, Xiao Tong on the side took the lead in answering An An's question.
"An'an, Xiaotong, I can't have dinner with you today! This is my first day after marriage, and I have to go back to the Kang family to eat! Otherwise, Kang Shaonan's mother will definitely be angry." Yu Xiao didn't want to cause trouble for Kang Shaonan because of such a small matter, and it was also natural for her to go back to eat.
"Okay! Then go ahead! We won't have a party today! We'll get together tomorrow night!" An An patted her good friend's shoulder, understanding her situation.
"Then you better be careful. After what happened last time, I feel that Kang Shaonan's sister is not someone you can easily mess with!" Xiaotong reminded her a little worriedly. An An and Xiaotong knew everything about Yu Xiao and Kang Shaonan.
"Yes! Be careful and don't let others sell it out!" An An nodded in agreement.
Yu Xiao looked at her two friends and smiled gratefully: "Don't worry, nothing will happen! The car is here, I'll leave first!" She waved her hand, and a taxi slowly stopped on the side of the road where the three of them were. Yu Xiao opened the back door and got in, then waved to her two friends, and the car quickly left.
As they watched the car that Yu Xiao was riding in slowly disappear, the two friends looked at each other.
"Why do I feel, Xiaoxiao, that this is a Hongmen Banquet? An An, what do you think?" Xiao Tong looked at the direction where Yu Xiao's car disappeared and sighed a little worriedly.
"Alas, if I were destined to marry Kang Shaonan, I would accept it even if it meant having to sit in the Hongmen Banquet. Let's go, I have to go home and continue comforting my sister!" An An thought of her heartbroken sister and couldn't help but sigh.
"An An, I think the best way to help your sister get over her broken heart is to let her go to work first!"
"Go to work?" An An shook her head. "Forget it. Looking at her heartbroken expression, I can't bear to do that. Let her rest for a while! I'm leaving now!"
"Bye-Bye!"
Before her wedding with Kang Shaonan, Yu Xiao had only been to the Kang family villa once. Although she was now a member of the Kang family, she was still a little nervous about entering the family again. The servant Yun Sao was very enthusiastic to see her.
"Young Madam is here?"
Yu Xiao smiled awkwardly, feeling a little uncomfortable with this name: "You should just call me Xiaoxiao!"
"How can that be? This is the madam's order!" In the Kang family, Liu Xiaoyun's words are orders. If you dare to disobey them, you might have to pack up and go home tomorrow.
Yu Xiao didn't say anything after hearing her words. She changed into slippers and walked from the hallway into the spacious living room next door. As if they knew Yu Xiao was coming, all the people in the Kang family except Kang Shaonan were present today. Even the company president Kang Shaobei came back on time. Seeing Yu Xiao walk into the living room, everyone's eyes fell on her.
"Grandpa, Dad, Mom!" Yu Xiao walked over and greeted everyone in the Kang family one by one. She was somewhat uncomfortable being scrutinized by such a large family.
"Xiaoxiao is here, come and sit down!" Mr. Kang nodded with satisfaction and motioned Xiaoxiao to sit on the sofa next to him. That seat was always occupied by the eldest grandson.
"What time did Shaonan leave this morning? Did you make breakfast for him?" As soon as Yu Xiao sat down, Liu Xiaoyun looked at her daughter-in-law with concern and asked. Yu Xiao was an only child, and she had been spoiled by her parents since she was a child. She had never done any housework. In fact, Liu Xiaoyun knew this a long time ago, and the reason she said this was to embarrass Yu Xiao.
Liu Xiaoyun's words made Yu Xiao's face turn red instantly. Just when she was about to answer, she heard Kang Shaobei come to her rescue.
"Mom, my sister-in-law is about the same age as Shaoxi. She just graduated from college. How can she cook? Doesn't Shaoxi usually do nothing at home?"
"Second brother, could you please not mention me when you talk? Besides, we have servants at home, why do you want me to do housework?" Kang Shaoxi became unhappy immediately after hearing what his second brother said, and protested with a pout.
"What second brother means is that you should do what you are able to do and don't wait for others to help you with everything!" Kang Shaodong, who seldom speaks, adjusted his glasses and explained for his second brother.
"When did I ask you for help? We are the same age, you have no right to speak!" Kang Shaoxi was even more upset when she heard Kang Shaodong also join in the fun. She was originally a spoiled girl, and she was a little unscrupulous when she spoke.
"How can you talk like that, young master? This is the first day your sister-in-law came here to eat after her wedding, and you want her to watch your fun, right?" Old Master Kang, who had been silent all the time, frowned and looked a little angry.
"Grandpa..." Kang Shaoxi pouted in grievance and then stopped talking.
"Dad, we are just chatting about family matters. Why are you so angry?" Liu Xiaoyun smiled at her father-in-law's angry look, and then looked at Yu Xiao opposite her: "Xiaoxiao, we are a family here. They usually talk like this. Don't take it to heart!"
"Mom, I know!" Yu Xiao nodded with a smile, but still felt a little restrained sitting on the sofa.
"You haven't answered mom's question just now. When did Shaonan leave this morning?" Liu Xiaoyun continued to ask her with a smile.
"When I got up in the morning... he was gone!" Yu Xiao answered a little embarrassedly. Not only did she not make breakfast for Kang Shaonan on the first day of her marriage, she didn't even know when he left. It was a little hard to explain.
"Ahem... Is that so?" Liu Xiaoyun coughed twice, glanced at Yu Xiao and said nothing more.
Seeing Yu Xiao's embarrassment, Kang Zhenguo looked at his daughter-in-law and changed the subject: "Xiaoxiao, today is your first day at work, right? Which company do you work for?"
"Dad, I'm in Shen Group!"
"Really? That company is good! It should be on par with our Kang family company! I have some friendship with their chairman, Shen Guanting! Do you want me to say hello to him?" Kang Zhenguo was very satisfied when he heard that his daughter-in-law worked in Shen Group.
"Thank you, Dad! Please don't say hello to our chairman. I just want to learn something in there. If you say hello, others will think I got in through connections! Dad, you better keep it a secret for me!"
"Well, young people are willing to learn something, and their attitude is good! I won't say hello for now, but if there is anything, remember to tell Dad, or tell Shaobei!" Although the one million incident happened before, Kang Zhenguo didn't have much prejudice against Yu Xiao. Girls are young, and it is inevitable to be deceived. This is also a common thing.
"Thank you, Dad!" Kang Zhenguo's words made Yu Xiao feel warm in his heart.
"Shen's Group is really good. Sister-in-law can learn more there. I have met Shen Yimo several times, but we are not very familiar with each other. I heard that he is a very charming person. He studied in the UK for six years and it has been less than half a year since he came back. I heard that he has made the company look brand new. Shen's Group should have a good future under his leadership." When Kang Shaobei heard Yu Xiao mention Shen's Group, he immediately became interested. He had heard of Shen Yimo's name before, but he didn't expect that Yu Xiao was going to that company.
Hearing his father and second brother talking about Shen's Group and Shen Yimo, Kang Shaoxi looked at Yu Xiao, then at his mother opposite him, his eyes rolling around, as if he was thinking of something.
"Really? It's my first day at work today, so I'm not very clear yet! But I will try my best." Yu Xiao smiled at Kang Shaobei, and his impression of his younger brother Kang Shaonan became better and better.
"Well, that's good! Although Xiaoxiao was also born in a wealthy family, it's already a progress for her to work in another company. Shaoxi, you are about the same age as Xiaoxiao, and you will graduate from college this year. Don't just stay at home doing nothing. You should also think about your future path." Grandpa Kang is very satisfied with his eldest grandson's wife. Although she is young, she is willing to learn and make progress, which is good. At the end, he turned the topic back to his granddaughter. (To be continued)
