Chapter 144: Choosing a Room
Zhou Xilan stiffened and turned around in embarrassment.
Looking at Xu Jiahao, who was standing behind them with his hands in his pockets, he curled the hair around his ears and smiled gently, "I was saying Yun'er, let her take good care of Su Li, she just came to our house, and it is inevitable that there are some things that she doesn't understand." ”
Xu Yun nodded hurriedly, for the cold and serious soldier in front of him, Xu Yun was a little cowardly in his heart, "Second uncle...... My mother and I were discussing how to take good care of Su Li's sister. ”
Zhou Xilan's heart was the same as playing the drums, and she didn't know if Xu Jiahao heard what she just said.
The fingers hanging on both sides gradually tightened, for fear that Xu Jiahao would say something to embarrass her.
But fortunately, Xu Jiahao just looked at them lightly, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, intentionally or unintentionally, and a deep meaning in his eyes that they couldn't see clearly.
As he passed by them, he spoke slowly.
"Sister-in-law, Su Li was asked by my mother to get it back, you'd better not have any crooked thoughts, otherwise, I can guarantee that you won't be able to stay in the Xu family."
After saying that, he went upstairs without even looking at her.
Zhou Xilan was frightened by his words, and her eyes dodged, "How could it be." ”
After Xu Jiahao walked away, Xu Yun stomped his feet fiercely, his face was very ugly, "Mom, the second uncle is too much!" Talking to you like this for a wild girl! ”
Zhou Xilan's face was also very ugly, but there were still servants cleaning in the living room, so she could only keep calm on the surface and smile slightly, "It's okay, your second uncle is just concerned." ”
Xu Yun glanced viciously in the direction of the second floor and pouted, "Mom, why are you so afraid of the second uncle, every time he says anything about you, you don't talk back." ”
Zhou Xilan patted her shoulder, looking virtuous and virtuous, "Mom is not for the good of this family, you practice calligraphy quickly, today's calligraphy has not been written." ”
Xu Yun let out an "oh" and walked away in disappointment.
She didn't understand why her mother, who had always been gentle as water, became so submissive after meeting her second uncle, as if she was afraid of something.
And this secret, only Zhou Xilan herself knows, if she says it, she will definitely be swept away by the Xu family, so she can only compromise in front of Xu Jiahao and keep this secret.
Second floor.
In the low-key and luxurious room, Aunt Zhang filled the sandalwood box with soothing sandalwood, and in the curling green smoke, an old man with silver hair sat on a chaise longue with a thin gray blanket on his legs.
Seeing people coming, Aunt Zhang retreated with interest.
"Mom, Su is here."
Xu Jiasheng stood in front of the old man and said respectfully.
The old man on the recliner gradually opened his eyes, a hint of surprise appeared in his cloudy eyes, she looked at Su Li, beckoned to her, and motioned for her to come to her side.
Su Li walked calmly to the old man's side and tucked the fallen blanket back into her.
"You, are you Su Li?"
Old Madam Xu's voice was even a little trembling, she took Su Li's hand, and there were tears of excitement in her eyes.
Su Li has never been accustomed to being touched by strangers, but this time, she did not break free, but nodded and softened her tone, "I'm Su Li." ”
Old Madam Xu cried with joy, took Su Li's hand and carefully examined her face, "It's really like, it's really like, it's exactly the same as when your mother was young." ”
"Mom, Su Li is back, don't be excited, be careful that your blood pressure will rise again later." Xu Jiasheng hurriedly persuaded.
"I saw my good grandson, I am happy, he looks so beautiful, and he is really like your mother."
Mrs. Xu mentioned Xu Jiaxin in every word, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that she missed her daughter very much.
"How old are you? Where are you studying? Short of money? Don't go to a part-time job in the future, if you lack money, tell your grandmother that this will be your home in the future. ”
Su Li's black and white eyes flashed with a soft light, and he replied slowly and patiently, "I am eighteen years old this year, studying at the High School Attached to the Capital City, and I am not short of money now. ”
If the original owner's mother hadn't run away in a negative mood, maybe she would have a happy family now.
Perhaps the emotions of the original owner were still preserved in this body, Su Li looked at the old man in front of him, and his heart was inexplicably softer.
"I see, Grandma."
"Mom, the doctor said, you have to avoid too many mood swings, of course we are all happy when Su Li comes back, but you also have to pay attention to your body." Xu Jiasheng reminded aloud on the side.
"Alright, alright, I got it."
Old Madam Xu wiped away her tears, patted Su Li's hand, and said with a smile, "Sheng'er, you take Xiao Li to see the room, let her pick whatever she wants, and we'll eat after choosing." ”
"Yes."
Su Li stood up and followed behind the "uncle" who was obviously very unwelcoming to her arrival.
After going out, I saw Xu Yun standing at the door with a well-behaved face, and I didn't know that I thought she was eavesdropping on what was talking at the door.
Xu Jiasheng glanced at Su Li and said lightly, "Yun'er, you take Su Li to see the room." ”
"Okay Dad. Sister Su Li, you come with me. ”
Xu Yun grinned and took Su Li to a room at the end of the corridor, opened the door, and there was only a simple bed inside, the dust on the floor was thick, and there were some miscellaneous items piled up in the corner.
It looks like a utility room.
Xu Han smiled and asked, "Sister, do you like it?" This is something that my mother and I have set up for you. ”
"Well-arranged"?
Su Li felt that Xu Yun's ability to open his eyes and tell nonsense was too strong.
This is to urgently tell Su Li, although you are a child of the Xu family, you have been wandering outside for so many years, and when you go home, you are under the fence, even if we openly give you small shoes, you are helpless.
This is invisibly declaring the status of their mother and daughter in the Xu family, and it is reminding her all the time.
Su Li laughed silently.
Xu Yun thought that she grew up in a slum and was very satisfied to have such a room to live in, but looking at her smile, she felt an indescribable disobedience.
"Can you show me the other rooms?"
"You don't like this room?"
Su Li smiled but did not speak, there was a rebellious tug in his eyebrows, and he looked difficult to handle.
Xu Yun understood, this is dissatisfied.
"Which room you like later, you can say." She said intimately.
"If I like it, can I live there?" Su Li tilted his head and asked with a smile.
"Of course. You can live in whichever room you want, that's what my grandmother told us. ”
The corners of Su Li's lips rose a few points again.
She wanted to play a caring sister, so she was naturally happy and took her to visit one by one.
"This is Mom and Dad's room, this is Uncle's room, this is Sister-in-law's room, Grandma's room you have already been, this is the study, Dad doesn't like people to go in and out, my sister should not go in easily in the future."
The two went around in circles, except for no introduction to her room.
"Whose room is that?" Su Li pointed to the door diagonally opposite.
