Chapter Seventy-Seven: Family
If Mrs. Yang's residence already makes people feel a touch of luxury, the villa that Su Xiaoqing brought Su Yifan to has exceeded Su Yifan's imagination.
In the courtyard, which is as wide as a park, a white building with a bit of post-modern atmosphere appears in front of Su Yifan's eyes, and the entire villa is framed with an exterior wall, and the inner wall is inlaid with thick insulated glass and metal brackets, making the whole villa look more like a delicate big toy.
The weather on the East Coast of the United States in May is already good, and the grass in the yard is clean and tidy, as if someone is carefully maintaining it at all times. The gardening walls are filled with flowers of various colors, each one as beautiful as a fake. The towering tree in the center of the courtyard has a history of exceeding the life expectancy of ordinary people, and the shade of the tree just shades the afternoon sun.
When Su Xiaoqing's car drove into the courtyard, many people had already walked out of the villa. Su Yifan looked out of the car window and found that he really couldn't remember everyone at once.
Such a large family, including men, women and children, really makes young people feel a headache when they see it.
Yi Lan went to park, and Su Xiaoqing took Ora and Su Yifan out of the car. In the distance, a young woman in her thirties had already walked over quickly, took Su Xiaoqing's hand, and said in a coquettish tone: "Xiaoqing is finally back?" I heard that you went to the company? Don't even say come back to see your aunt first. ”
Su Yifan immediately knew that this should be the little aunt mentioned by Su Xiaoqing before, and after careful identification, he found that the woman looked a little mean, with small eyes, thin lips, and a little sexy dress on her body.
Su Xiaoqing's aunt is naturally also Su Yifan's aunt, Su Yifan bowed slightly to the woman who held Su Xiaoqing's hand and didn't let go: "Hello aunt." ”
When the young woman heard Su Yifan's voice, she turned her eyes and glanced at Su Yifan.
"Who is this?"
The young woman's tone was full of disdain, obviously a feeling that she already knew who Su Yifan was but didn't want to say it.
The smile on Su Xiaoqing's face disappeared, she pulled out her hand that was being held by the young woman, and said coldly: "Auntie, you repeat what you just said, I'll leave now." ”
The young woman didn't expect Su Xiaoqing to turn her face directly in front of everyone, her face changed, and she was going to pull Su Xiaoqing's hand again.
"Xiaoqing, you have to think clearly, relatives are not so easy to recognize. The responsibility on your body now is not your own, but also our entire Su family. You can't be fooled easily. ”
Su Xiaoqing dodged the hands that wanted to grab him, and took a step back to Su Yifan's side.
"Sister-in-law, I hope you can respect Su Yifan."
The young woman chuckled twice: "Respect him? What are you doing? Why should I respect him? I don't know if his identity is true or not, I'm protecting the interests of our family. ”
Su Xiaoqing and the young woman stood in the middle of the courtyard and talked, and not far away was the Su family who arrived later. Hearing the young woman say this, a middle-aged man with a Chinese character face not far away also walked over and echoed and said, "Xiaoqing, what your sister-in-law said also makes sense." We can't confirm the identity of this person right away, and this matter always has to be considered in the long run. ”
Su Yifan didn't expect that he would be treated so coldly when he came to see his relatives, and the young man's heart couldn't help but feel a little sad. But just now he told Su Xiaoqing to help her share the pressure, and Su Yifan felt that he should be stronger now.
Su Xiaoqing looked at the middle-aged man with a Chinese face, and asked in a cold voice, "Second uncle, are you willing to take responsibility for what you said today?" ”
The expression on the second uncle's face froze, and of course he was helping his little sister speak out of selfish purposes. But if it was really for this kid who recognized his relatives to offend Su Xiaoqing, he always felt that it was not worth it.
Su Xiaoqing's gaze passed over the second uncle and sister-in-law, and then fell on the men and women not far away.
"Today I saw Gao Li."
Su Xiaoqing spoke, everyone had to listen, and no one dared to interrupt her.
"I went to buy something, and Gao Li was standing in front of the store where I bought something, waiting for me." Su Xiaoqing stared at these people, his voice still calm and crisp, "I asked him if someone had told him my whereabouts, and he acquiesced." ”
Su Yifan stood beside Su Xiaoqing and listened to her speak word by word.
At this moment, it was as if everyone was frozen by magic, and they could only listen to her word by word.
"I know which of you told him." Su Xiao said lightly, the cold expression on his face faded, replaced by a relaxed smile, "But it's okay, I'm not going to ask who told him." ”
Speaking quietly, Su Xiaoqing's gaze fell on the young woman who wanted to speak and stopped.
"I just told Gao Li that because someone leaked my whereabouts to him, I would reduce everyone's dividend by 50% this year. If you're not happy with this decision, hate the guy who told me about my whereabouts. ”
Su Xiaoqing's voice did not fall, and the crowd was in an uproar.
"Don't argue with me, don't try to provoke me, don't make me lose my patience." Su Xiaoqing looked at the people in front of him, raised his head and said, "Now there are two months left before the next dividend, if you want me to change my mind, don't let me say a word more about this matter." ”
The crowd really quieted down, and even the second uncle who was standing at the front unconsciously took a few steps back.
"If anyone wants to worry about these things anymore, I will cancel all the dividends of everyone and use the money to start a new charitable foundation."
This time there was no argument and no argument. Su Xiaoqing's tone is unquestionable, and more importantly, she definitely has this power.
In everyone's eye contact, everyone saw the deep fear in their hearts.
At this time, a man who was almost fifty years old squeezed out of the crowd and hesitated to come over.
"Dad, the people I'm talking about include you." Su Xiaoqing's tone was as calm as ever, "This is my decision, I hope you can respect me." ”
Su Yifan finally saw Su Xiaoqing's cold side, and at this moment he felt that his uncle seemed to be very afraid of this daughter, and immediately stopped moving forward after being finished by Su Xiaoqing.
The situation was very embarrassing, and Su Xiaoqing's strength exceeded everyone's expectations. Even the young woman standing in front of Su Xiaoqing didn't know what to say, so she paused for a moment before she smiled and said, "Xiaoqing, I'm also worried that you will be deceived...... You see, our family must be united, don't say these hurtful words. ”
Su Xiao snorted lightly, at this time she was more like a real girl in her early twenties.
"Sister-in-law, even if Su Yifan is not a relative of our family, but just my guest, I hope you respect him."
"That's that, since it's a guest, you should be entertained." The young woman seemed enthusiastic, but in fact, she still refused to admit that Su Yifan was her relative, "Why don't I arrange the guest room first?" ”
"No, I've already arranged it." Su Xiaoqing said, "Su Yifan lives next door to me. ”
Almost the entire Su family knows that Su Xiaoqing, who rarely goes home, has a unique position in this family. The top floor of this villa is Su Xiaoqing's independent space, and no one is allowed to step into it without permission. Now Su Xiaoqing actually wants to take this boy to live on the top floor, which makes those young people of the same age as Su Xiaoqing feel unbalanced in their hearts.
Facing almost all the members of the entire family, Su Xiaoqing said word by word: "I don't like to argue, so if someone wants to argue with me, it's best to think about it first." ”
At this moment, Su Yifan felt that Su Xiaoqing, who was standing there, was really like a goddess as she had said, and she shocked everyone with her courage.
The young woman was still a little unwilling to say something, but she heard the man with the Chinese character face behind her cough, so she instantly changed to a sneering face: "Has Xiaoqing eaten?" I'll ask the chef to prepare it for you. ”
Su Xiaoqing's face softened a little, but she simply rejected the young woman's proposal: "I'm a little tired, let's eat dinner together, I'll prepare." ”
It seems that Su Xiaoqing has been very accustomed to inviting everyone to dinner, and although some young people still have a look of disgrief on their faces, they have already left the army first. Su Xiaoqing's intimidation just now has an amazing power for young people, and young people who prefer to enjoy are more sensitive to such things as dividends than adults who have already achieved careers.
Threats involving interests are always simple and effective, and even those middle-aged people with different expressions have hidden their thoughts and walked back in twos and threes.
Su Xiao gently pulled Su Yifan forward, completely ignoring everyone's complicated gazes. This independent and powerful posture led to more whispers, but no one dared to speak out loud.
Su Yifan glanced back at Ora, she didn't seem to care about everything that happened in front of her at all, her face was still calm with a hint of coldness.
Passing through the villa hall and going up the spiral staircase, led by Su Xiaoqing, Su Yifan followed the goddess sister into her territory.
The space on the top floor is very large, with a full hall except for a study and two bedrooms. Su Yifan found that there were game consoles and huge plasma TVs in this hall. The layout is no different from the villa where Su Xiaoqing took him to rest when he first arrived in the United States.
opened the bedroom door, and Su Yifan saw almost the same layout as his domestic room, which was obviously arranged by Su Xiaoqing before leaving. Seeing the bedroom where there was no difference in the color of the sheets, Su Yifan's eyes were sour, and he almost burst into tears.
Su Xiaoqing's carefulness comforted him who was still a little sad just now.
Just now, Su Yifan even began to doubt whether his trip to the United States was necessary. The reunion of relatives may not be as beautiful as imagined, I really don't know how my father, who also has a strong personality, would react to this scene.
Su Xiaoqing could see the young man's worries, and she assured Su Yifan in a low voice: "Don't think too much, have fun, I'll go back with you in a few days." ”
Hearing the promise of "going back together", Su Yifan's mood finally improved, and he felt that with Su Xiaoqing in his side, he was not afraid of anything.
