This was especially so for Jiang Yi and Su Yanyan, whose faces flushed red instantly.
“Bastard!” Su Yuntang stood up suddenly. “Can’t you see that there are elders here? You do not know when to act appropriately at all! Go back to your room now!”
“It’s you who’s the bastard!” Su Xueqin’s voice was even louder as he pounded his walking cane on the ground. “I am still here, so who gave you the authority to ask people to leave? You really have no respect for me anymore!”
“Dad,” Su Yunrong spoke up, “You have just been discharged from the hospital. Don’t get angry, or it will affect your health.”
After she was done speaking, she looked at Su Wanwan. After looking at her from head to toe, Su Yunrong smiled as she said, “Wanwan has really undergone a huge change! I could not recognize her at all.”
“Yes, this young woman is truly different from the little girl that she was,” her husband, Qiao Jianye, chimed in.
Su Xueqin snorted coldly, his anger seeming to fade a little as he said, “Wanwan, greet your elders.”
Su Wanwan pursed her lips slightly before she stood up and said, “Uncle. Aunt.”
After that, she turned to the well-dressed middle-aged couple who was also seated there. “Uncle Xing. Aunt Huo.”
Huo Qinyu looked at her, stunned.
Su Wanwan had been anxious to rush home earlier and did not have time to put on any makeup on, so her face looked fresh and supple.
If it weren’t for her argument with Su Yuntang just now, Huo Qinyu would not have believed that she was actually that unimpressive young girl from back then.
She could still remember the first time she met Su Wanwan. She had been a seventeen-year-old high school student at that time, but Su Wanwan had been in a very weird outfit, wearing thick black eyeliner, black lipstick, and even black nail polish. Her short hair had been dyed a shocking white.
Huo Qinyu felt that she could not respect that girl at all, so after the incident between Xing Yuyun and Su Yanyan happened, she immediately agreed to their marriage without reprimanding them.
“Oh! Who is this?” A female voice suddenly called out.
Su Wanwan raised her head and looked at the woman who was walking in from the balcony.
The woman looked at her, then burst out laughing. “Oh, it actually is Wanwan! The phrase ‘the clothes make the man’ really is true! Wanwan is very beautiful now that she is all cleaned up! Young Master Xing, don’t you think so too?”
Xing Yuyun did not respond.
“Zixin, don’t say anything else,” Su Yunrong hissed at her daughter.
Qiao Zixin acted as though her mother was making a big fuss out of nothing as she exclaimed, “What’s wrong, am I not allowed to tell the truth? If Wanwan was not beautiful, would the young master agree to get engaged to her in the first place? It really is a pity that Wanwan had to go and study abroad as soon as they got engaged though; Young Master Xing is such an active man, so how could he possibly endure it? He cannot even handle a little seduction. The situation is actually perfectly understandable.”
The members of both the Su family and the Xing family had ghastly expressions on their faces.
Su Yunrong could only stand up and say quickly, “Dad, I am sorry but I just remembered that we have something to settle at home. We will have to excuse ourselves first.”
Su Xueqin waved his hand impatiently.
“What do we have to do at home? Mom, don’t pull me. Mom…” Qiao Zixin was dragged all the way outside by her mother. Su Yunrong only let go of her when they had reached the entrance of the villa.
“You should not get involved in matters involving the Xing family!”
“What is there to be involved in?” Qiao Zixin scoffed disapprovingly, “A relationship between a man and woman is between two willing parties anyway. Whether it is Wanwan or Yanyan, this matter involves a daughter from the Su family getting married into the Xing family. It has nothing to do with us either way…”
“Stop talking!” Su Yunrong sighed wearily.
This daughter of hers was really nothing like her at all!
She had never understood what emotional intelligence was, and never knew when to act accordingly. People always said that ‘a daughter will walk in her father’s footsteps’, and the phrase was really accurate in her case.
Su Yunrong glared at her husband.
Qiao Jianye was puzzled but simply said, “I will drive the car over here first.”
After he left, Su Yunrong patiently spoke to her daughter: “How many times have I told you that Yanyan will be getting engaged to Xing Yuyun soon? From now on, the Xing family will be our in-laws. Your father is preparing to get promoted to become the section chief, so he will need a lot of help from the Xing family… Zixin, are you listening to me?!”
Qiao Zixin did not reply as she was looking straight ahead, dazed.
A black Bentley was parked at the intersection and a man was leaning against the car, smoking and talking on the phone.
He was wearing a white shirt with a black suit pants. Although his style was low-key and simple, his clothes were clearly expensive and elegant.
He seemed to be slightly more than six feet tall, and the casual way he leaned against the car was rather attractive. The man’s long legs and perfect body proportions made it seem like he was an international male model on the cover of fashion magazines.
Qiao Zixin felt her heart flutter in her chest.
She was already twenty five years old and had been in relationships with many men before, but this was the first time she had ever noticed such an incredible man. His figure, his looks, his temperament…
He was practically perfect!
When she saw him turning around, almost looking in her direction, she quickly put on her most charming smile and raised her hand to greet him.
“Ahhh!” Qiao Zixin howled suddenly, rubbing her hand. “Mom, why did you pinch me?!”
It hurt!
“Did you hear what I said?”
“I got it! I got it!” Qiao Zixin rubbed her arm impatiently but when she turned around again, Mr. Perfect was already gone. The black Bentley had also disappeared.
