Su Xi followed Su Jingcheng into the room and saw two people in the room. One of them was an old man who looked about seventy or eighty years old. He should be the old man of the Su family that Susan and Xu Feng had been talking about before.
And in front of Mr. Su, there was another girl who looked about the same age as Su Xi, wearing a very delicate skirt, talking to Mr. Su with a smile on her face.
Su Jingcheng and Su Xi came in, obviously interrupting the conversation between the old and the young.
"Here we come." Old Master Su looked at Su Jingcheng.
"A birthday gift for grandpa." After finishing speaking, Su Jingcheng put a box prepared in advance on the table on the left hand side of old man Su.
Old Master Su nodded, then looked at Su Xi beside Su Jingcheng: "This is the child you found?"
Looking at the little girl, she is still quite energetic.
Mr. Su commented in his heart.
"Yes", Su Jingcheng responded, and said again: "Su Xi, my sister."
After finishing speaking, Su Jingcheng lowered his head and said to Su Xi, "This is grandpa."
"Grandpa." Su Xi called out to Mr. Su.
"En." The old man nodded and responded with a calm expression. He wasn't overjoyed when he heard Su Xi say "Grandpa", nor was he overly excited when he saw his long-lost granddaughter.
Obviously, Mr. Su didn't care too much about the child of the second child.
The old man asked Su Xi a few more words, counting it as the care of the elders.
"how old are you?"
"14."
"As big as Xiaoxing, did you go to school?"
"Up."
"After being picked up, are you still used to it?"
"fine."
After asking a few casual questions, Mr. Su looked away, pointed to the girl beside him and said to Su Xi, "This is Yaoyao, the daughter of your second uncle's family, who is younger than you."
Hearing this, Su Xi nodded towards the girl: "Hello."
Ever since they came in, this Yaoyao has been sitting very quietly beside Mr. Su, looking cute and sensible.
Except for the moment when she saw Su Jingcheng, Su Xi noticed that Yaoyao's expression changed obviously, as if she was very excited and a little nervous.
—
"Hi, my name is Su Mengyao, nice to meet you, welcome home." Su Mengyao stood up, walked in front of Su Xi, and said with a smile on her face.
Compared with Su Xi's simple greeting, Su Mengyao was obviously much more enthusiastic.
"So sister Xixi is Brother Cheng's biological sister?" Su Mengyao asked, looking at Su Jingcheng, then turned to look at old man Su, and finally looked at Su Xi.
Su Xi: "En."
Su Mengyao: "That's great, I'm so envious of Sister Xixi, I really want a brother too."
Su Mengyao's words made the old man laugh: "Hehe, isn't Jing Cheng your brother?"
"I don't have many chances to meet Brother Cheng."
"What about Little Star?"
"Brother Xing, forget it." Su Mengyao showed disgust.
What she wants is a brother like Su Jingcheng - the chairman of Su Yuan Group! Not only handsome, but also very powerful! Those people in the school knew that she was Su Jingcheng's younger sister, and they all envied her!
"Sister Xixi is better." Su Mengyao looked at Su Xi with envious eyes, but from an angle that others couldn't see, the envy in her eyes gradually turned into jealousy.
——Su Jingcheng has always been the best brother in Su Mengyao's heart. Although Su Jingcheng and the Su family actually seldom communicate with each other and don't pay much attention to her, Su Mengyao has always regarded herself as Su Jingcheng's only younger sister, and now she has appeared A Su Xi, she is no longer Su Jingcheng's only younger sister.
Besides, this Su Xi was just found, and she didn't have much contact with Su Jingcheng, so why did she feel that Su Jingcheng treated Su Xi so well? better than everyone else.
Su Mengyao was unhappy, she pursed her lips secretly.
"What's there to envy about this kind of thing?" Old Master Su said with a nonchalant smile, "Why didn't you see how you compare with others in your studies?"
"Grandpa wronged me, and I worked hard in my studies! I was recommended to participate in a math competition!"
"By the way, sister Xixi, do you like mathematics?"
"Well enough."
"Xiaoxi is one year older than Yaoyao, isn't he the second year of junior high?" Old Master Su also asked.
"Well, sophomore year."
"I heard that several courses will be added in the second year of junior high school, and some of the courses in the third year of junior high school will also be taken. Sister Xixi, do you find it difficult?"
"fine."
"How is Xiaoxi's studies at school?"
"Well enough."
…
The grandpa and grandson chatted incessantly in the rest room.
During the whole process, Su Mengyao enlivened the atmosphere like a pistachio, amused old man Su from time to time, no wonder the old man loved this granddaughter so much.
Compared to Su Mengyao's liveliness, cheerfulness and cleverness, Su Xi, who doesn't talk much, is a bit dull.
"Grandpa, when does the banquet start?" Su Mengyao asked.
Reminded by his granddaughter, Mr. Su glanced at the time: "It's almost there."
"Go out." Old Master Su glanced at Su Jingcheng.
Several people got up and walked towards the banquet hall outside, Su Mengyao naturally stepped forward and took Su Xi's hand.
"Sister Xixi, go closer through this door."
"Look, this used to be the hall. Let me tell you, you don't know that this banquet hall in Shengyuan Hotel is not open to the public. Only our Su family can use it..."
Su Mengyao whispered in Su Xi's ear, as if the host was hospitable.
Su Xi: "..." If I remember correctly, before coming in, Su Jingcheng seemed to have told her: Is this hotel theirs
—
On the other side, old man Su and Su Jingcheng also walked into the banquet hall.
"Is everyone here?" The old man looked at his children and asked.
"The list of guests below has not been delivered yet, but it should be almost there. The banquet hall is full." Xu Feng stepped forward and said.
Mr. Su's birthday banquet was divided into two events. The lower banquet hall invited guests, while the Su family's own people were upstairs in the private banquet hall.
The old man glanced at Xu Feng: "I'm talking about our own family, are they all here?"
As soon as the old man said this, Su Hui's expression turned pale.
"Dad, Xiao Xing is probably on the way, we don't have to wait for him, let's start directly." Su Hui said to the old man.
Then he pulled Ye Guohua with an ugly expression: "Lao Ye, call your son again and ask where he is!"
—
Su Hui hadn't finished speaking when she heard a weak voice coming in from the door: "Hurry, hurry, what's there to hurry, haven't I come?"
Why does this sloppy tone and this voice that is not ready for beating sound familiar
Su Xi turned her head and looked in the direction of the door. As expected, she saw a familiar yellow hair.
What ghost ape dung is this
Su Xi looked at Ye Zexing in surprise.
Ye Zexing obviously hadn't noticed Su Xi over here, and walked over here slowly, with a good-natured look on his face.
"The banquets don't start until six or seven o'clock. Why are you in such a hurry?"
Regardless of the expressions of the elders present, Ye Zexing walked to the sofa and sat down directly. Only then did he finally see Su Xi sitting opposite him.
This almost made Ye Zexing fall off the sofa.
"You, you, why are you here?!" Ye Zexing jumped up and pointed at Su Xi with an incredulous expression on his face.
"Speak up!" Su Hui scolded, "This is Su Xi."
"I know!" The question is how this person is here.
Su Huixiang saw Ye Zexing's doubts, so she explained: "This is your uncle's daughter."
Ye Zexing: "..." Damn it.
Su Xi knew about it, and he was deeply impressed. His mother told him before that the lost child at the uncle's house had been found, and he also knew about it.
But Ye Zexing never thought of linking these two things together.
"Have you met?" Su Jingcheng glanced at Ye Zexing and asked Su Xi.
"Well, I saw it in school."
Su Xi was also very surprised. She didn't expect that Ye Zexing was also a relative here.
This should be what Dong Wenqi wanted to talk about before, but it's a pity that classmate Dong forgot about it the next day.
Su Jingcheng remembered that Uncle Fu had indeed mentioned to him before that he saw Ye Zexing in Shangming Middle School. Su Jingcheng didn't pay much attention to the son of the eldest aunt's family. In his impression, he was a rebellious young man who was ignorant and troublesome.
Should he change Xi Xi's school? After all, the quality of schoolmates is also very important.
Su Jingcheng frowned and thought.
On the side, Su Hui was surprised: "Xiao Xi is also studying in Shangming Middle School?"
Su Xi: "Yes."
Su Hui: "That's a coincidence, Ye Zexing is also in Shangming, you should be in the same grade."
After finishing speaking, Su Hui looked at her son warningly again: "Your school is not allowed to bully Su Xi."
Su Hui saw Ye Zexing's performance just now, but it didn't look like he just met Su Xi, but he seemed a little... Guilty
Ye Zexing: "I..."
It's good if he doesn't get bullied. How dare he bully Su Xi
But obviously Su Jingcheng and Su Hui wanted to go together.
"Did he trouble you?" Su Jingcheng asked Su Xi, and at the same time, he looked at Ye Zexing with a stern look in his eyes, so overwhelming that he didn't dare to vent his anger.
Su Xi shook her head: "No."
Ye Zexing also quickly denied: "No, no, absolutely not!"
On the contrary, he was almost beaten by Su Xi, and escaped from the "tiger" several times.
Ye Zexing looked at the pair of brothers and sisters in front of him with apprehension, and shrank his neck: In this family, the only thing Ye Zexing is afraid of is this big cousin who he doesn't see often.
Now Su Jingcheng's younger sister has come, unexpectedly it is also a terrifying existence, now he turns around and walks away, pretending that he has never been here before, not knowing if it is too late.
Su Hui looked at Su Xi, then at Ye Zexing: "You two are cousins, do you know that you should take care of each other at school?"
"Now that everyone is here, let's get started."
After Mr. Su spoke, everyone took their seats.
—
At the dinner table, everyone was busy talking pleasant things to Mr. Su, while Su Xi was eating quietly beside Su Jingcheng.
This squirrel fish is delicious, the glutinous rice balls are also delicious, and the crispy short ribs are super delicious... and the shredded assorted over there looks delicious too.
It's a pity that it's a bit too far to reach.
Su Xi shook her head regretfully.
At this moment, a piece of yam coated with golden icing fell into Su Xi's bowl.
"!" Su Xi's eyes lit up, and she turned to look at Su Jingcheng.
Su Jingcheng: "What else do you want?"
No…
"pumpkin!"
"Okay." Su Jingcheng brought another piece of candied pumpkin for Su Xi.
"Thank you," Su Xi whispered, "That, you eat too."
"Okay." Su Jingcheng smiled.
—
Everyone didn't move their chopsticks much. Here, the brother and sister are already full.
"boring?"
"No." Even though she said that, Su Xi had "boring" written all over her face.
Su Jingcheng smiled dotingly: "You can go out if you're bored."
This is Su Yuan's place, Su Jingcheng doesn't have to worry about Su Xi's safety.
"Then I go to the bathroom?"
"Go."
—
As soon as Su Xi walked outside, she ran into Ye Zexing who had an appointment at night and was about to run away.
Seeing Su Xi, Ye Zexing also became nervous.
Ye Zexing: "What?"
Su Xi: "What's wrong?"
Ye Zexing: "There is something."
Su Xi: "Trouble me?"
"How is it possible?" Ye Zexing secretly gave Su Xi a white look.
With this girl's level of strength, which is regarded as destructive, he can't hide in time, so how dare he trouble her? It's almost like courting death.
But now that they are all relatives, this girl should not be beating him.
"I just want to ask you, what month is your birthday?"
"July." This is what she heard from Su Jingcheng.
"Haha, so you are younger than me, I should be your cousin!" Ye Zexing seemed very happy about this.
"Cousin? You say it again?"
Seeing Su Xi's half-smiling eyes, Ye Zexing's back felt chills, and he was instantly cowed.
"You are my cousin, let me call your sister the head office."
Why is this cute girl who is looking at Wen Wenjing quiet so scary.
Ye Zexing muttered softly.
"Well, since we are cousins, the previous misunderstanding should be bought and sold,"
Before Ye Zexing finished speaking, Su Mengyao's voice suddenly came from not far away.
"Sister Xixi, Brother Xing, why did you escape?"
Su Mengyao came over, seeming to stand in front of Su Xi outrightly: "Auntie just said that you are not allowed to bully Sister Xixi!"
"None of your business!" Ye Zexing looked at Su Mengyao unhappily: "And which eye of yours saw me bullying her?"
"There is no best, and grandpa's birthday party is not over yet, so you are not going to run away, are you?"
"So what? Mind your own business."
"you!"
"Don't think she's very nice, she's actually a coquettish girl, she's a fake." Before leaving, Ye Zexing said this to Su Xi.
Su Xi was amazed, looked at Ye Zexing's back and raised her eyebrows: It's rare that she agrees with a word this guy said.
"Sister Xixi, don't listen to brother Xing's nonsense. We grew up together, and he just likes to hurt me." At this time, Su Mengyao was also a little embarrassed, but she still maintained a sincere smile: "Sister Xixi, let's go in quickly!" Bar."
"Um."
—
When Su Xi returned to the banquet hall, the banquet seemed to be coming to an end.
People from the Su family were chatting around the table, although they didn't know what these people were thinking in private, but on the surface they seemed to be enjoying themselves.
On the other hand, Su Jingcheng on the side seemed out of place, as if he had been excluded.
Think about it carefully, isn't the setting of the novel too unfriendly to the villain? The hero has a wife, a son, and a group of loyal employees. On the other hand, the villain seems to have nothing, and a few relatives are always thinking about how to plot against him.
Su Xi couldn't tell what it was like, she always felt a little uncomfortable.
Su Xi walked over and sat down beside Su Jingcheng.
"Aren't you going to play outside?"
Su Xi shook her head.
—
On the other side, Xu Feng saw that the time was almost up, so he suggested: "It's almost time, let's go down with the old man to thank the guests."
Everyone has no objection.
Xu Feng looked at Su Jingcheng's brother and sister again: "Jingcheng, do you want to go down with us?"
Su Jingcheng frowned slightly: The people that Su Zhengqi and the others invited below were a little complicated, and he didn't really want to bring Xixi down to contact those people.
"Do you want to go, Xixi?" Su Jingcheng asked Su Xi.
"I don't want to." Su Xi shook her head like a rattle.
Xu Feng glanced at Su Xi: "Since this is the case, then you juniors can rest here."
Xu Feng naturally classified Su Jingcheng into the "junior generation".
In this family, Su Jingcheng was originally a junior, but Su Jingcheng's position in the industry in City B was very high.
If Su Jingcheng really went together, he might overshadow the old man's limelight.
Therefore, the two brothers and sisters are not willing to go, and she is not willing to let them go.
Xu Feng: "For a while..."
"No need." Interrupting Xu Feng's words, Su Jingcheng got up and took Su Xi to leave: They also did what they should do, there is no need to waste time here.
Finally we can go.
Su Xi raised her hands in agreement.
—
The brother and sister were walking out of the hotel when Su Xi suddenly thought of something and stopped.
Su Xi turned her head, and she saw Su Jingcheng still behind her.
It seems to be like this all the time - every time she and Su Jingcheng walk together, the other party will not walk in front of her.
It seems to be to leave a comfortable space for Su Xi, so that she won't be so uncomfortable, and Su Jingcheng won't walk beside her.
Instead, just like now, walking behind her, a few steps away, following Su Xi in a protective posture.
In this way, he can always look at his sister and never lose her again.
Looking at Su Jingcheng, Su Xi seemed to see the loneliness that surrounded him all the time.
"What's wrong with Xixi?" Seeing Su Xi stop and look at him, the seriousness on Su Jingcheng's face turned into tenderness.
"It's nothing." Su Xi shook her head, and suddenly smiled kindly at Su Jingcheng.
In the next second, Su Xi fell back, walked to Su Jingcheng's side, and carefully grabbed Su Jingcheng's cuff.
"let's go."
This was the first time Su Xi took the initiative to approach Su Jingcheng.
Su Jingcheng's mood at this moment is completely unexpected and pleasantly surprised, and at the same time, his heart is warm.
As for Su Xi, she felt a little nervous, after all, this was the big villain she avoided at first!
But Su Xi is not stupid, maybe it's because he hasn't turned black yet, after getting in touch with Su Jingcheng during this period, Su Xi feels that he is not bad.
"that… "
"What did Xixi want to say?" Su Jingcheng lowered his head and looked at Su Xi patiently.
Su Xi hesitated for a moment before reminding Su Jingcheng: "The second uncle's family and the little uncle, I don't think they are good people."
After Su Jingcheng took over the Suyuan Group, these few people often played tricks behind the scenes. Su Jingcheng was defeated by the male lead, and Su Zhengqi and Wang Wenbin jumped out immediately and embezzled most of the Suyuan Group's assets and projects.
Even though it was not mentioned in the novel, Su Xi had a strong feeling when reading the novel: the male protagonist defeated Su Jingcheng, and these two people also played a lot of "strength" behind it.
Su Xi didn't care if it was considered helping the evildoers, she reminded Su Jingcheng that she wanted the other party to be wary of those people.
Su Jingcheng didn't expect Su Xi to say such a thing, and looked at Su Xi in surprise.
Is Xixi caring about him
right? Definitely yes!
