"Did something happen?"

Xiao Chuyi asked doubtfully after he had just stepped out of the car and closed the door. At the same time, he handed his keys to the loyal assistant beside him.

Then, he put on the special mask handed to him by An Mo, and found that the latter had a solemn expression and his lips were tightly closed, and he seemed to have something heavy on his mind.

However, after a long silence, An Mo still didn't speak, so Xiao Chuyi, feeling a little impatient, simply turned around and said to him, "Just say it directly if you have something to say. Don't beat around the bush."

After a brief mental struggle, An Mo finally mustered up the courage to speak and replied in a deep voice, "Someone from the Su family is coming."

A hint of joy flashed in Xiao Chuyi's eyes: "Really? Now Madam Su Xiyao's dream should be over. Go inform the master..."

"The master sent them here."

An Mo interrupted him.

Hearing this, Xiao Chuyi stopped and looked An Mo up and down: "The old man personally invited them here? What's going on?"

His brows were furrowed, and there was a hint of confusion and uneasiness in his eyes.

An Mo swallowed and clenched his fists. "Mr. Xiao, the old man has decided not to pursue the previous matter. Your marriage with Su Xiyao will continue. He also hopes that Su Xiyao will move to the Xiao family immediately so that she can develop a relationship with you."

"what?"

Xiao Chuyi was quite surprised. He took off his mask and stared at An Mo with wide eyes. "Are you really not going to pursue this?"

There was disbelief in his voice, and he was clearly shocked by the decision.

At this time, Su Xiyao, wearing a white dress and with a sweet smile on her face, walked over from the villa.

Her steps were light and she looked particularly gentle.

She lifted the hem of her skirt and trotted forward to Xiao Chuyi.

Seeing that he had taken off his mask, Su Xiyao felt a little embarrassed, but she quickly adjusted her mood.

She lowered her eyes, the shame on her face becoming more obvious. She slowly leaned forward and said, "Master, the previous mistakes were all my fault. Fortunately, the old man was magnanimous and chose not to pursue the past. From now on, I will trust you wholeheartedly and will never make such a mistake again."

After saying that, Su Xiyao reached out to pull Xiao Chuyi's clothes.

The latter immediately shook his hand away, avoiding her touch.

His eyes were cold, showing no sign of softening.

After staring at her for a while, Xiao Chuyi told An Mo coldly: "I'm going to see the old man."

After saying that, he turned and left without giving anyone time to react.

His steps were firm and quick, as if he had already made up his mind.

An Mo hurriedly followed and shouted, "Boss Xiao, wait a minute..."

There was anxiety and worry in his voice, fearing that Xiao Chuyi would act impulsively.

However, Xiao Chuyi walked very fast and showed no intention of slowing down.

His figure gradually walked away in the night, leaving An Mo with a helpless look on his face.

He ran straight to the old man's house and rushed to the second floor in one breath.

He was extremely anxious and walked quickly.

Just as he was about to push open the study door, Xiao Chuyi heard Su Zhenwen's voice: "I never thought Xiyao had such a background."

There was a hint of surprise and emotion in his voice.

He stopped immediately and held his breath, afraid that his footsteps would interrupt the subsequent conversation.

Then, the old man said slowly, "So, Mrs. Chen only knew that her daughter was following you. But that person was actually your eldest brother in disguise. So, Xiyao is the daughter born to that woman?"

The old man's voice was steady and full of wisdom, as if he was carefully thinking over the ins and outs of the matter.

Su Zhenwen nodded and replied, "Yes. At that time, my brother was a quiet person and didn't like dealing with business people. He always liked to wander around outside. I didn't expect to meet Mrs. Chen's daughter and have this story happen."

His words revealed a complex emotion, including the sweetness of memories and the nostalgia for the past time.

The old man raised an eyebrow and asked, "If that's the case, why did he appear under your identity?"

Obviously, the old man was still full of curiosity and confusion about this matter.

Su Zhenwen sighed, "Brother has been gone for many years. It's too late to say anything now. Before he died, he repeatedly asked me to take good care of Xiyao. I think it was because he cared deeply about Mrs. Chen's daughter."

His tone revealed deep nostalgia and a hint of helplessness.

The old man looked at Su Zhenwen thoughtfully, and the latter was firm in his attitude.

Obviously, he has decided to fulfill his brother's last wish.

After pondering for a long time, the old man finally spoke: "In that case, we will treat Xiyao as our own granddaughter. After she marries into our Xiao family, I will do my best to treat her well."

The old man's words were full of love and determination.

Su Zhenwen smiled even brighter: "Thank you, old man. This is Xiyao's blessing and the honor of the Su family."

His face was filled with gratitude.

But the old man interrupted him and said, "You can thank me after I finish what I have to say."

There was a hint of seriousness in the old man's tone, and it was obvious that he had more things to make clear.

Seeing the old man's serious expression, Su Zhenwen had to put away his smile and asked cautiously: "Master, just say whatever you want to say."

He felt a little nervous, not knowing what the arrangements would be next.

"From today on, let Xiyao live in the Xiao family. Your brother has passed away, so from now on, Xiyao will stay in the Xiao family and be taken care of by us until Old Madam Chen recognizes her."

The old man spoke slowly, his eyes firm and gentle.

The smile on Su Zhenwen's face quickly disappeared without a trace at this moment.

His many years of business career made him very clear about what this meant. It meant that Su Xiyao would soon be completely separated from the Su family.

This also means that from now on, the Su family can no longer gain even the slightest benefit from Su Xiyao.

And all the efforts poured into her over the years seemed to have gone to waste.

Thinking of this, Su Zhenwen's expression suddenly became cold.

His brows raised slightly, his gaze fixed on the old man. "Old man, isn't this a bit inappropriate? After all, since Big Brother passed away, we have wholeheartedly taken care of Xiyao and raised her. Now, the Chen family intends to claim her back. If we let her go like this, wouldn't everything we have done before be wasted?"

Hearing this, the old man couldn't help but frown. He stared at the other person with a cold look, "So you have been taking care of Su Xiyao wholeheartedly for so many years, just waiting for the opportunity to rise to prominence one day."

Su Zhenwen's face was immediately filled with embarrassment after his inner thoughts were exposed. However, he still refused to give in and said, "How can you say that?"

"enough!"

Before he could finish, the old man interrupted him, "Although it's true that you raised Su Xiyao, look at what she's become now. She'll do anything to achieve her goals. Someone like that won't be able to stay in our Chen family."
