After becoming invincible after descending the mountain, the aloof and beautiful CEO couldn't s

The courtyard of the Li family mansion was filled with a strong smell of Chinese medicine.

When Song Xiaoxiao arrived, Li Zhongguo was squatting under the eaves with a small stove in front of him, on which a pot of dark medicinal soup was bubbling away.

The old man rolled up his sleeves, held a palm-leaf fan, and fanned the fire intermittently while humming a little tune. He was in such good spirits that he didn't seem like someone who had just crawled out of the gates of hell.

"Grandpa!"

Song Xiaoxiao walked over quickly, squatted down in front of Li Zhongguo, and looked him up and down.

"You...you're really better?"

Li Zhongguo looked up and saw her, paused for a moment, then grinned: "Xiaoxiao? What brings you here all of a sudden?"

"I was worried about your health, so I came to check on you. My aunt told me yesterday that you almost couldn't hold on, which scared me to death."

Song Xiaoxiao patted her chest and pointed to the small stove, asking, "What are you doing? Why are you brewing medicine yourself?"

"Hey, this is a tonic." Li Zhongguo waved his hand, his face glowing.

"My grandson-in-law's medical skills are truly miraculous. With just a few needles, he snatched my old life back from the jaws of death. Now, he's prescribed a remedy for me to drink for seven days to consolidate my recovery."

"Grandson-in-law?" Song Xiaoxiao frowned slightly.

"You mean Su Hao?"

"You know him?" Li Zhongguo asked, puzzled.

Song Xiaoxiao's expression was somewhat complicated: "I just met her at my cousin's villa."

She paused, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Grandpa, why did you marry my cousin off to such a person?"

Li Zhongguo sensed the hidden meaning in her words and frowned, asking, "Xiaoxiao, what do you mean by that? Su Hao's medical skills are unparalleled in the world, and his character and values ​​are impeccable. Such an outstanding young man, Qiu Chan would be lucky to marry him. Why can't she marry him?"

Song Xiaoxiao hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.

She couldn't very well tell her grandfather that the guy was shirtless and was yelling that she had seen his beautiful body and that she had to take responsibility for such an embarrassing thing, could she?

Just then, a lazy voice came from the doorway.

"Yeah, I'm so great, why can't your cousin marry me?"

Song Xiaoxiao turned her head sharply and saw Su Hao leaning against the door frame with his arms crossed and a smug smile on his face.

"You filthy scoundrel, shouldn't you be at your cousin's villa? What are you doing here?"

"Your cousin has a bunch of urgent things to deal with at her company. Before she left, she specifically told me to come and keep an eye on you because she was worried you might be upset and do something rash," Su Hao said, shrugging his shoulders.

"You're lying! My cousin would never say that!" Song Xiaoxiao snorted.

"She probably just sent you to keep me company because she was worried I'd be bored at home alone."

Su Hao raised an eyebrow and looked at her with some surprise: "You seem to know your cousin quite well."

"Of course, we grew up together since we were little." Song Xiaoxiao proudly raised her chin.

Su Hao's gaze swept over her from head to toe, and he clicked his tongue: "We grew up together, but you're clearly older than your cousin!"

Song Xiaoxiao followed his gaze and looked down, instantly realizing what he meant. Her face flushed red to her ears, and she covered her chest with both hands, exclaiming with a mixture of shame and anger: "You big pervert!"

She turned to Li Zhongguo and complained, "Grandpa! Look at him! He's a lecherous lecher, his eyes are always wandering around. How can someone like that be my cousin's husband?"

Li Zhongguo laughed heartily and said dismissively, "It's no big deal. Men are all about food and sex; it's normal!"

"When I first met your maternal grandmother, I thought she was quite old, and I thought that my child would definitely not go hungry in the future, so I kept pestering her."

"Grandpa!" Song Xiaoxiao stomped her foot, feeling both ashamed and angry.

"How can you speak up for an outsider?"

Li Zhongguo said sternly, "Xiaoxiao, don't talk nonsense. Su Hao isn't an outsider; he's your cousin-in-law!"

Song Xiaoxiao was dumbfounded.

She glared at Su Hao angrily: "Grandpa must have been bewitched by you, that's why he's always on your side, isn't it?"

"You filthy scoundrel, hand over the antidote right now!"

Before Su Hao could speak, Li Zhongguo pulled a prescription from his pocket and handed it to her: "Here, this is the antidote. Go and get a few doses for your grandfather."

Su Hao glanced sideways at the medicinal herbs on the prescription.

Ginseng, deer antler, cistanche... all are excellent tonics and aphrodisiacs!

Without a doubt, this was specially brewed for him to drink.

The old man is really persistent about holding his great-grandson.

Song Xiaoxiao didn't understand the medicinal herbs and naively thought they were the antidote to the curse: "Okay, I'll go get the herbs and come back to save you."

"etc."

Li Zhongguo stopped her and pointed to Su Hao beside him: "Take your cousin-in-law with you."

"No!" Song Xiaoxiao resolutely refused.

"I won't let that scoundrel follow me!"

"Little one, you're being disobedient again, aren't you?"

Li Zhongguo pretended to be serious: "You two will be family sooner or later, so visit each other more often, get to know each other, and don't always quarrel."

Song Xiaoxiao couldn't persuade him otherwise, so she reluctantly agreed, glared at Su Hao, and took the lead in walking out.

As soon as she stepped out of the Li family's gate, her phone rang. It was Li Qiuchan calling.

Song Xiaoxiao answered the phone, her voice filled with deep sorrow: "Cousin..."

"Xiaoxiao, has Su Hao gone to your place yet?" Li Qiuchan's gentle voice came from the other end of the phone.

Song Xiaoxiao pouted and complained sourly, "Cousin, you've changed. When you call, the first thing you do isn't to ask about me. You only care about other people."

"No way! I just sent him there to keep you happy." Li Qiuchan smiled helplessly and gently comforted her.

Song Xiaoxiao glanced resentfully at Su Hao, who was leisurely strolling beside her, and muttered into the microphone, "He's right next to me, and Grandpa even forced me to take him to the pharmacy to get medicine. I'm so 'happy'!"

Li Qiuchan was slightly surprised: "You two actually went out together. Your relationship has improved quite a bit."

"What do you mean by easing things up? It was all arranged by Grandpa!" Song Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes.

"Your grandfather is quite thoughtful."

Li Qiuchan covered her mouth and smiled, then added, "When you pass by the mobile phone store, take Su Hao to buy a new phone. He didn't bring any communication tools with him when he came down the mountain, so it's inconvenient for him to run errands."

Song Xiaoxiao found it utterly absurd: "Wow, he's such a big man, doesn't he have legs of his own? He expects me to go shopping with him?"

"He's new to Nanjing and doesn't know the area well. Since you're out, why don't you take him there? I'll transfer the money to you later. You can help him pick out a practical one. I have something to do here, so I'll hang up now."

"Feed? Cousin? Cousin!"

After trying to reach them, the phone went dead.

Song Xiaoxiao said angrily, "My cousin has changed. She wasn't like this before..."

"My wife is so thoughtful. She always considers my needs and even bought me a new phone," Su Hao said with a smug look on his face.

Song Xiaoxiao glanced at him sideways, her face full of disdain: "You're really something, living off a woman without a care in the world, not ashamed at all."

"So what if I live off a woman?" Su Hao wasn't ashamed at all; on the contrary, he was proud of it.

"Being able to live off my wife is my skill; others don't even get that kind of treatment."

Song Xiaoxiao was so shocked by his shamelessness that she couldn't speak. After a long while, she managed to stammer out, "You...you have such a thick skin."

"Thank you for the compliment."

Song Xiaoxiao was speechless: "I wasn't praising you!"

"Who am I if I'm not here? Why is he praising me?"

Song Xiaoxiao: "..."

Friends in the same city, please give me a beating, thank you!
