"Xiaoxiao, what's going on with your face? Tell me, were you beaten by someone from the Kang family?" Although An An and Xiaotong both knew Yu Xiao when she was fifteen years old, she knew Yu Xiao better than Xiaotong and cared about her more.
"Yeah, Xiaoxiao, who the hell is so cruel? Could it be that Uncle Kang beat him?" Xiaotong looked at the faint palm print on Yu Xiao's face and was so angry that he wanted to curse.
"It's not him! He is so nice to me, why would he hit me!" Yu Xiao immediately explained after hearing Xiaotong's words.
"What's wrong with your face? It was fine yesterday, why does it look like this today?" An An shouted angrily.
"It's... Kang Shaonan's mother..." After Yu Xiao finished speaking, tears of grievance could no longer be stopped from falling. She had endured it from yesterday until now, but she really couldn't bear it any longer.
"Why did she hit you? There must be a reason, right?" An An felt like exploding when she heard Yu Xiao's words, but she still held back her anger and asked her.
"Yesterday afternoon, Kang Shaoxi said her mother liked to drink black coffee, and asked me to make it, saying that it would leave a good impression on her mother... I... went to make it... As a result... before I brought it in... Kang Shaoxi put a cockroach in the coffee..."
"Damn it! Yu Xiao, wait here! I'm going to go and seek justice from the Kang family!" An An got angry when he heard what Yu Xiao said. He turned and walked to the side of the road to stop a taxi.
"An An! Don't be like this! I don't want Kang Shaonan to worry about me!" Yu Xiao ran over and grabbed her, tears falling uncontrollably.
At this time, a caring word from others is enough to make her burst into tears, not to mention that this person is her good friend. Since she met An An at the age of fifteen, although they are the same age, An An often cares about her like a younger sister.
"You fool! You've been bullied like this on your first day in the Kang family villa. This kind of thing will happen a second time if it happens a first time! You are going to be the eldest lady of the Kang family, not to be bullied by them!" An An looked back at Yu Xiao, sighed, and hugged her with heartache.
"No! Kang Shaoxi apologized to me! There won't be a next time!" Yu Xiao shook her head. Her friend's concern comforted her wounded heart.
An An pushed her away, stared at the injured part of her face and frowned, wanting to tear Kang Shaoxi apart: "After you brought the coffee in, did Kang Shaonan's mother find the cockroaches inside?"
"Um… "
"And then?" An An couldn't suppress her anger anymore.
“An An, please stop asking, okay? I’m... really fine now..." Yu Xiao tried to force a smile, but was completely powerless.
"You're fine! Look at yourself now. Anyone who says you're fine is really blind!" An An became even angrier when she heard Yu Xiao's words, but seeing Yu Xiao's tears welling up in her eyes, she turned her head away: "Forget it, you guys go eat! I can't eat this meal!" After that, she went back to the company without looking back.
"Hey, An An!" Xiao Tong shouted behind An An. Seeing that she didn't react, he had to pull Yu Xiao's hand and walk forward: "Xiao Xiao, don't blame her. She is just like that! She must be mad! Let's go eat!"
"Xiaotong, am I too useless?" Yu Xiao shook her head. How could she blame An An when she was such a good friend
"Silly, you are too kind. Let's go! Let's go eat first!"
Although Yu Xiao successfully avoided the sight of her family in the morning, she thought that when she got home from get off work in the evening, Mr. Kang and Kang Zhenguo would see the wound on Yu Xiao's face and would definitely be suspicious. If Yu Xiao let the cat out of the bag, given Mr. Kang's personality, neither she nor her daughter would be able to escape. When Liu Xiaoyun thought of this, she began to feel uneasy.
Mr. Kang usually looks very kind, but if he gets angry, the roof of the Kang family villa will probably be blown off.
From the attitudes of her eldest son and Mr. Kang before the marriage, she could sense the position of Yu Xiao in the hearts of both of them. So, to be on the safe side, she still had to go to Yu Xiao to give her some instructions before she got off work. Having made up her mind, Liu Xiaoyun asked the driver to take her to the downstairs of Yu Xiao's company after lunch and called her.
Yu Xiao obviously didn't expect her mother-in-law to call her. When she heard her mother-in-law was just downstairs from the company, she had to take a leave and go to the first floor. When the two met, they were a little embarrassed. However, when Liu Xiaoyun started from scratch with Kang Zhenguo, she had seen all kinds of business people. Her face changed quickly, and she was the kind of person who could smile even if the murderer of her father stood in front of her. As soon as Yu Xiao came out, she greeted him with a smile.
"Xiaoxiao, I hope I didn't disturb you from working at this time?" When Liu Xiaoyun tried to grab Yu Xiao's wrist affectionately, Yu Xiao quickly dodged her.
"What do you want?" Facing this mother-in-law whose expression changes faster than turning the pages of a book, Yu Xiao's experience is still too inexperienced.
"Are you still angry with mom?" Looking at Yu Xiao's expressionless face, Liu Xiaoyun smiled indifferently.
"Just tell me what you want to say. I still have work to do!" Yu Xiao replied coldly.
"Well, okay, since you are busy with work, I will tell you straight. I am sorry for what happened yesterday. I know you are unhappy, so I came here today to apologize to you. This is a snack that I specially asked the chef at home to make. Take it and eat it when you are hungry in the afternoon!" Liu Xiaoyun said as she handed the handbag in her hand to Yu Xiao with a flattering expression.
"Please take it back! I'm not hungry and can't eat it!" Yu Xiao refused coldly.
"Okay! Then mom will take it back! When you want to eat it when you get home, I will ask the chef to make it for you!" Liu Xiaoyun nodded and took her hand back.
"If you're okay, I'll go back first!" Not wanting to see her for even a minute, Yu Xiao turned around and wanted to go back to the company.
"Xiaoxiao, Mom has something to do..." Liu Xiaoyun called her at the right time.
"What's up?"
"When you get off work this afternoon, I'll ask Shaobei to pick you up and take you home. If he asks about the injury on your face..."
"I said I met her outside!" Yu Xiao interrupted Liu Xiaoyun before she finished. He knew that she must be looking for him for no good reason, and now it seems to be true.
She was really impressed by his meticulous thinking!
"Ahem..." Liu Xiaoyun coughed twice awkwardly. Yu Xiao's answer made her very satisfied. She nodded and took out a bank card from her pocket and stuffed it into Yu Xiao's hand: "I'm sorry, this is a little pocket money, just consider it a little gift from mom!"
Yu Xiao quickly dodged, looked at her and said coldly: "I have enough money to spend. If there is nothing else, I'll go in first." After that, he turned around and walked into the company without looking back.
Liu Xiaoyun looked at Yu Xiao's back and sneered, put the bank card into her bag, raised her hand to smooth her hair, slung her small bag over her shoulder, and walked towards the Mercedes-Benz not far away with a twist of her waist.
Liu Xiaoyun was born calculating. Although there was no problem with Yu Xiao, she was still a little worried. She got into the Mercedes-Benz and told the driver to go to her family's company. Liu Xiaoyun's identity was known to everyone in the Kang Group. So when she went to her son's office, no one dared to stop her.
When Liu Xiaoyun pushed open the door of the office, she obviously didn't expect that a passionate scene was going on inside. Kang Shaobei was sitting on the sofa, and Ai Qi was sitting on him. Liu Xiaoyun's sudden intrusion startled the two of them. Ai Qi immediately got off Kang Shaobei, put on her clothes, and greeted Liu Xiaoyun awkwardly.
"Hello, Auntie..."
Kang Shaobei didn't mind it at all. He just stood up and looked at his mother with a reproachful smile: "Mom, can you say hello before you come next time?"
Liu Xiaoyun glanced at her son, walked up to Ai Qi, looked her up and down, and asked her indifferently: "It was you who attended Shaonan's wedding last time, right?" From the last wedding until now, she had always wanted to meet this girl, but she didn't expect to meet her today.
"Yes, Auntie!" Aiqi immediately answered respectfully with a look of respect on her face.
"What's your name?"
"Auntie, my name is Aiqi!"
"Yeah." Liu Xiaoyun looked at her and nodded, but didn't say anything.
"Mom, what's the matter?" His mother always came to see him for no reason. This time she came to see him without saying hello, so there must be something going on.
"It's nothing. I was bored at home today, so I asked the chef to make some snacks and sent them to your sister-in-law. Who knew that when I saw her just now, I found out that she had fallen and injured herself at noon today, and her face was badly swollen. Alas, that child is really something. She doesn't even know how to be careful when walking." Liu Xiaoyun said with a distressed look on her face. No matter how you look at her, she is a good mother-in-law who cares about her daughter-in-law.
"Have you visited Yu Xiao? How is your sister-in-law's injury? Is she okay?" Kang Shaobei was really worried after hearing what his mother said.
"It's just her face that's swollen. She said there's nothing wrong with the rest of her body, so I came here to tell you to pick her up after get off work and go home together. Your eldest brother isn't at home, so we have to take care of her!"
"Okay, that's no problem!"
After hearing what her son said, Liu Xiaoyun knew that her goal had been achieved, so she looked at her son and said, "Then you go ahead and do your work! I'll go home first! Aiqi, it's rare for Auntie to meet you today, and I just happen to be going shopping. It's too lonely to go alone, so come with me!"
"Okay, Auntie!" Ai Qi was delighted when she heard Liu Xiaoyun's words, and immediately nodded with a smile.
After waiting for so long, her chance finally came!
Kang Shaobei knew that he couldn't stop it, and Ai Qi wanted to marry into the Kang family, so she had to get through her mother's hurdle first. When the two women were leaving, Kang Shaobei stuffed a bank card with 200,000 yuan in it for his mother.
After Liu Xiaoyun and Ai Qi left the company, they did not go to any shopping malls. Instead, they took her to a nearby coffee shop. The two sat opposite each other. After the waiter brought the drinks, Liu Xiaoyun looked at Ai Qi across from him and went straight to the point. (To be continued)
