He is paranoid and warm

"I'm thinking about it now." Madam Xiao said leisurely, "At the beginning, your mother's health was not optimistic. When she was seriously ill, I was desperate and made such an engagement with her."

Sure enough, she regretted letting Xiao Qingzhou get engaged to such an uneducated woman like her?

Sheng Shushu: "Aunt Xiao, it's not too late to cancel the engagement now. It hasn't been announced yet. If it is really announced tonight, it will be difficult to take it back."

Madam Xiao was thoughtful. "Really? Xiao Qingzhou is not worthy of marrying a girl as good as you."

Sheng Shushu nodded.

?

Not worthy?

"Are you being sarcastic?"

"Of course not." Mrs. Xiao was very calm.

But Sheng Shushu disagreed.

A wealthy family like the Xiao family would look down upon a small family like the Sheng family, so Sheng Huanian often said that this was an engagement that was made possible by her mother's good deeds.

Otherwise, they will never be able to marry into the Xiao family in their next life.

It was obvious that the Xiao family also looked down on her, but Mrs. Xiao was well-educated and spoke in a reserved manner.

"Do you like Xiao Qingzhou?" Mrs. Xiao asked her again.

Sheng Shushu thought, Li Musha was such a big man just now, and Mrs. Xiao saw it. If she said she didn’t like it, the engagement should be canceled.

She shook her head firmly, "I have someone I like."

Madam Xiao frowned slightly.

"But Auntie likes you very much, what should I do?"

"what?"

Sheng Shushu didn't know how to react for two seconds. She had no way to answer this question, so she could only use a tricky sentence:

"You like me, what should Uncle Xiao do?"

This time Mrs. Xiao was stunned.

Then I couldn't help laughing. This child is so humorous. My family will be much happier if I marry him.

"I'm sorry." Sheng Shushu said seriously, "Thank you for liking me, Auntie, but I really have someone I like."

Madam Xiao nodded, "How about I adopt you as my goddaughter?"

"I have always wanted a daughter. I will raise you as my own and marry you off in style. It's okay if you don't want to get married. I will raise you."

Sheng Shushu didn't know how to deal with it. None of these things happened in her previous life, and she and Xiao Qingzhou broke up very cleanly.

"Do you really like me?"

Madam Xiao said seriously: “Isn’t it obvious?”

Before, Mrs. Xiao spent little time in the country and was always abroad taking care of patients. She had heard a lot about Sheng Shushu's heroic pursuit of her husband.

At that time, I was just listening and couldn't feel anything.

Originally, she was afraid that when the child grew up, what would she do if she didn't like him?

Don't worry now.

Sheng Shushu pointed outside and said, "Xiao Qingzhou has someone he likes, isn't it just right for you to help them?"

"You mean that?" Mrs. Xiao raised her eyebrows slightly and said bluntly, "I don't like it."

"You don't like it, but your son does. There's nothing you can do about it."

Madam Xiao snorted, "I still have the final say in this family's affairs. If she can't get past her mother-in-law, she won't be able to enter the house no matter how high her shoes are."

Sheng Shushu suddenly thought that Madam Xiao was not as scary as the rumors said, so wasn't she controlled by her mother-in-law when she was young?

How did you become the eldest daughter-in-law in the Xiao family?

Sheng Shushu didn't want to fulfill the engagement, nor did she want to be a goddaughter, so she was silent for a while.

Mrs. Xiao called.

"Still not willing to come? ... Ask again, hmm."

After hanging up the phone, Mrs. Xiao rubbed her forehead, looked at her again, and smiled a little.

"It's wise for you not to want to enter the family. It's not easy to be the wife of a wealthy family. My son's marriage is difficult, and my brother-in-law's marriage is even more difficult. I still don't want to go home. This is all my job."

Sheng Shushu knew that Xiao Yu would not come.

But don’t you know that the Xiao family is also preparing to arrange Xiao Yu’s marriage?

In her previous life, she had no impression of Mrs. Xiao, except for the fact that they had meals together as a family during festivals.

Xiao Yu didn't seem to like his sister-in-law very much and was wary of her like a thief, so she rarely saw her.

She loves Xiao Yu so much, so of course she will do whatever he says without asking why.

"Aunt Xiao." Sheng Shushu suddenly said, "I'll call Xiao Yu back for you tonight. Can you help me cancel the engagement, but don't tell me it was me who suggested it?"

Madam Xiao looked at her for a while.

"If you bring it up first, will your father beat you?"

She didn't expect that Madam Xiao knew Sheng Huanian so well, so she didn't have to explain.

Madam Xiao was a little suspicious, "Can you help me call Xiao Yu? Do you know each other?"

Sheng Shushu's first reaction was to deny.

"I've attended his class... Just tell me that the political and legal expert Mo Xiang is here, so he should come."

Mrs. Xiao was really at a loss. She was not familiar with Xiao Yu and could not invite anyone, not to mention that she had searched the entire circle but could not find a brother or sister-in-law to match him.

The old man has already scolded her for this.

Originally, Xiao Yu was called back tonight to introduce the daughter of a certain family to him, and to let those present know the intentions of the Xiao family.

In the end, she didn't accomplish anything.

"Changyi." Madam Xiao dialed the number, "Don't worry about Xiao Yu's matter for now, I'll make the call myself."

Then find out Xiao Yu's number.

I called for a long time, but no one answered.

Sheng Shushu had forgotten about this.

Xiao Yu is a person with many problems. He never answers calls from numbers he doesn't recognize. Anyway, if you really need something from him, he will send you an email.

"I'll give you a number." Sheng Shushu flipped through the private number that had sent him a text message.

Don’t forget to remind Madam Xiao, “Don’t say it’s me who said it.”

Mrs. Xiao called that number.

really.

received.

She looked up at Sheng Shushu, then stood up and talked on the phone, her tone of a wealthy family's eldest sister-in-law being very good.

"Xiao Yu, it's sister-in-law. I called you earlier but couldn't get through to you. Dad hasn't seen you for a long time. Do you think you can come over?"

Madam Xiao listened to him in silence for a moment.

Xiao Yu took down his phone and looked at the number again.

After confirming that the call came from a private number, he asked, "Where did you get this number, sister-in-law?"

Madam Xiao was not shy either, "I asked a friend about it."

Xiao Yu was silent for a moment and asked, "Which hotel?"

"Round Island Hotel, the post didn't get you?"

"No, maybe it was thrown away as garbage."

Wang Ci Xin didn’t know how to respond. The invitation to the Xiao family’s banquet was so eye-catching and custom-made. Everyone in the circle knew about it.

Besides, how did he know it was a hotel? Why didn’t he ask if he was at the old house?

"Why are you coming over now?" Wang Cixin didn't expose her and continued to give her a way out. "I'll ask the driver to pick her up."

"Yeah. No need."

Wang Cixin raised her eyebrows. Are you coming now? She hasn't mentioned the political and legal master yet.

After hanging up the phone, Wang Cixin turned to look at Sheng Shushu and said, "Come over right now."

Sheng Shushu breathed a sigh of relief. Then her marriage with Xiao Qingzhou...

Finally, Madam Xiao said, "Let's talk about this later. You can see that I don't like the girls around Xiao Qingzhou. How about you help your aunt and use chicken feathers as a token to drive away the girls around Xiao Qingzhou, and then cancel the engagement?"

Sheng Shushu: “…”

You are quite frank.

"Aunt Xiao, your intentions are too obvious. Once I drive away all the girls around him, won't I be the only one left?"

What engagement are you breaking off?

"You figured it out?" Madam Xiao probed again, "Then..."
