sky-high engagement

Chapter 122 Xiao Mansion
Su Mo shook Xiao Nanye's hand and said, "Xiao Nanye, do you want to know about my past?"

"Why are you talking about this all of a sudden?"

Not understanding why she suddenly mentioned this, Xiao Nanye looked at her, actually he didn't want to know about her past, because her past was someone else.

Putting his words down to an affirmative answer, Su Mo was still talking to himself, "Xiao Nanye, I'll tell you everything, and in exchange, can you also tell me how you are?"

It turns out that exchange is the key!
The person who never liked to use his brain suddenly became smarter today. Are you worried about him?

Unknowingly, the light in her eyes became gentler, Xiao Nanye raised her hand and rubbed her little head, "I have to think about it!"

"What!" Su Mo pouted unhappily. She was willing to trade her own childhood, but he still had to think about it.

Xiao Nanye enjoyed her awkward look very much, and asked her with a smile, "Do you mind that much?"

Perhaps he was annoyed by Young Master Xiao's smug expression, so Su Mo raised his neck and denied it, saying: "No, stop being so sentimental."

It's not true of course, she really, really minds.

Because she didn't want to see him frowning and not speaking, it was different from when he was angry.

Xiao Nanye narrowed his eyes, and the temperature inside the car plummeted, "Do you want to take back what you just said?"

Su Mo: "..."

"Xiao Nanye, can you stop being so domineering!" Su Mo lowered his head and said sullenly.

She wanted to ask her why he married her six years ago.

I remember at that time he said that he was in trouble, but what kind of trouble did he have to find a random woman to marry?

Thinking that he might find someone else to marry, Su Mo's heart felt like being pricked by a needle, and the pain spread out, leaving her nowhere to hide.

As if to make sure of something, she suddenly reached out to grab him, and looked at him worriedly, "Xiao Nanye, what's wrong with you?"

How come you are so strange, I almost don't know you anymore.

The anger in his eyes suddenly couldn't be pretended anymore, the warmth of that moment made Xiao Nanye wake up, and he suddenly lowered his head and laughed at himself.

He often shuts himself in a transparent room, so that people dare not approach easily.

But now, that stupid girl was looking at him with timid eyes, her outstretched hand penetrated the sunlight on the glass room, and slowly approached him, not feeling cold.

He is no longer alone!

She will be by his side for those things he doesn't want to face.

Thinking of having her company every day in the future, the corners of Xiao Nanye's mouth couldn't help but curl up. He pinched Su Mo's palm and smiled easily this time.

"I'm fine, that is, I haven't been back for a long time."

Su Mo's IQ really shouldn't have too many expectations. After listening to Xiao Nanye's words, she suddenly thought, this old man must be timid because of his closeness to his hometown!

After the car went up the mountain, it drove unimpeded all the way to the outside of a red-walled compound.

Outside the old-fashioned big iron door, there was a bright black Maybach, the door of the driver's cab opened, walked to the rear door, and respectfully said to the people inside: "Boss, Xiao Zhai is here."

Hearing a reply from inside, Akai stretched out his hand to help them open the car door.

Xiao Nanye got out of the car first, glanced coldly at the two guards at the door, his gaze moved slowly, and then stopped on an elderly man.

"Uncle Chen, don't come here unharmed!"

When Uncle Chen saw him, he came over with a stiff smile on his face, "Young master, you are finally back, the master has been waiting for you all morning."

Xiao Nanye nodded faintly, turned around and pulled Su Mo out of the car.

The snow hadn't stopped yet, and her shoulders fell when she got out of the car. The temperature outside the car made her frown unbearably.

She rubbed her hands, looked at the red-walled courtyard with big eyes, and suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart.

Uncle Chen came over to hold an umbrella for them, and looked at Su Mo curiously in his eyes, "This is Ms. Su, right! If the master knows that you can come to see him, he must be very happy."

The man's facial expression was so stiff that Su Mo doubted whether his words were credible, so he smiled awkwardly at him and said, "Hehe, thank you!"

Xiao's house is really big, and you can't feel it from the outside. Su Mo only found out after entering that there is actually a car needed to get from the gate to the main house.

The car was ready, Uncle Chen opened the door for them personally, "Master, Miss Su, please!"

After Xiao Nanye pulled Su Mo into the car, Uncle Chen closed the car door for them, got into the car and said to the young driver, "Xiao Zhu, let's drive!"

Su Mo was originally in a nervous mood, but when she heard the 'little pig', she couldn't hold back her 'puchi' and burst out laughing.

The more I thought about it, the more amusing it became, and I felt that it was impolite to laugh at someone's name like this, so I covered my mouth and endured it hard.

Uncle Chen didn't understand, so he turned to look at her with a zombie face, "Miss Su?"

Su Mo trembled even more, and buried her face in her hands, laughing uncontrollably.

The melancholy of returning home was all washed away by her smile. Xiao Nanye sighed dotingly, and said to the suspicious old man in front, "She is fine, maybe she remembered her own kind."

Aren't the little pig and the little rabbit the same kind?

Inhuman!
Su Mo reacted quickly this time, stopped smiling, and looked at him puffing out his cheeks, "Xiao Nanye, why are you swearing!"

The corner of Xiao Nanye's mouth twitched, and he smiled calmly, "Good boy, I don't dislike it."

"..."

Young Master Xiao, can you be any more shameless?

Uncle Chen in front watched the interaction between the two silently from the rearview mirror, almost unable to hide the shock in his heart. He always felt that this time the young master came back, something was different.

He thought, maybe the master would be happy to see the young master's change.

It took almost 5 minutes to drive to the main house.

When getting off the car, Su Mo looked at the three-story old-style villa in front of him, and unexpectedly remembered the houses where princes and generals lived in ancient times, commonly known as the deep house compound.

Su Mo tried hard not to show a surprised expression, but couldn't help it in his heart, this Xiao family is the real big family!

Several people entered the living room one after another, and all they saw were antique furniture, and even the rockery and fish pond outside had few modern elements.

It seems that he is a traditional and conservative old man, which is very similar to his grandfather. Su Mo suddenly looked forward to meeting Xiao Nanye's family.

Just as Chen Bo was leading the people in, a woman happened to be going out with a plate of dim sum and saw them coming in.

This is also an old man from the Xiao family. When he saw Xiao Nanye, his eyes were filled with tears, and he choked up and said, "Master, you are back."

Seeing that she was crying, Uncle Chen said to her coldly, "Why are you crying when the young master comes back? I'll go up to see the master, and you go to the kitchen and ask them to prepare more dishes that the young master likes to eat."

"Hey, I'll go right away, Eldest Young Master, Eldest Young Mistress, sit down and rest first, and I'll come as soon as I go." The woman seemed to listen to Uncle Chen's words very much, she wiped her tears and went out.

Because Su Mo was curious about Xiao Zhai, she ignored her title for a while.

Although she was full of curiosity and doubts, she didn't say a word, but followed behind Xiao Nanye obediently.

Xiao Nanye was not surprised by her performance. After all, she grew up in a scholarly family. How could a child raised by such a family be poor?
After they left, Su Mo began to look around curiously.

Xiao Nanye looked at her tenderly, and said, "Uncle Chen and Aunt Liu are both old people from the Xiao family, so you can call me whatever you want."

"Well, I see." Su Mo nodded and sat down beside him.

Those eyes refused to be idle for a moment, looking left and right, the eyes became brighter and brighter, like an appraiser, there are many antiques here by visual inspection!
A big family is a big family.

The teacup on the table is made of celadon porcelain, and the tea in the cup was made by Aunt Liu just now. Xiao Nanye put it in her hand after testing the temperature through the cup, "I haven't recovered from the cold yet, drink more hot water."

Su Mo took a sip and handed it to him, Xiao Nanye didn't care, took the teacup and put it down.

There were fresh fruits in the fruit plate on the table. He looked at them and asked Su Mo, "What do you want to eat?"

Su Mo took a quick glance, "Orange."

Young Master Xiao nodded, picked up an orange and began to peel it, and this scene happened to be seen by Aunt Liu who walked in from the door.

The face of the old man of the Xiao family couldn't help but change, and there was a burst of 'sigh' in his heart, when did the young master of the Xiao family serve so well?
She hurried over and said, "Eldest young master, let me do it!"

"Need not."

Xiao Nanye broke off a piece of orange and fed it to Su Mo, and said to the person standing in front of her, "How is Aunt Liu recently?"

Aunt Liu nodded, "Okay, you and Uncle Chen are both in good health, and the master is also in good health, but he is a little worried about you. Although he doesn't say anything, we can all see that you say you can't Take it easy?"

As he spoke, he began to wipe his tears again. Su Mo watched with relish, and while eating the orange peeled by the young master, he began to imagine the image of his unworthy descendants.

Thinking about it, he couldn't help covering his mouth and laughing.

After Aunt Liu went out, Su Mo quietly tugged on Xiao Nanye's sleeve, and waited for him to turn around before asking, "Xiao Nanye, do you have a bad relationship with your grandfather?"

"What do you want to say?" Xiao Nanye was not satisfied with her gloating just now, and gave her a cold look.

Su Mo didn't give up, and asked him again, "What kind of person is your grandfather? Do you think he doesn't like me?"

It's no wonder she was worried. From the moment she entered the house, she felt weird and felt uncomfortable. Why is she so uncertain?
"Xiao Zhendong."

Xiao Nanye uttered these three words with thin lips, and watched the confused man tilt his head, and the mist slowly cleared from his eyes, and then he said, "It's my grandpa."

"Xiao, Chief Xiao is your grandfather?" Su Mo was completely stunned. He opened his mouth for a long time without any other expressions, and his buttocks moved restlessly.

She has always known that Xiao Nanye's family background is unusual, and even once suspected that he was the illegitimate son of a gangster, but she never thought that he was actually Xiao Zhendong's grandson.
