On the single sofa on one side of the living room, Jiang Yucheng was sitting expressionlessly, with water marks on the teacup in front of him on the table.

After a long while, I saw him looking sideways at Jiang Su, speaking calmly, and then asked, "Xuxu is my daughter. My daughter, isn't she worthy of being your sister?"

The boy who was so reckless just now is now visibly frightened.

"Uncle, I, I didn't mean that..."

Jiang Huai on the side looked at his father with a smile and suppressed the little boy with one look. He turned his head and looked at Lu Xuexi.

"Xue Xi, do you feel you have been wronged by living in the Jiang family?"

Lu Xuexi's face suddenly turned pale when she was named, and she quickly denied it, "No, brother Jiang Huai, you misunderstood me."

"Since not, don't say those misleading words in the future." Jiang Huai still had the smile in his eyes, and his voice was gentle and pleasant, but it contained a pressure that made people dare not make mistakes easily.

Lu Xuexi opened her mouth, lowered her head for a while and did not dare to say anything more. She just bit her lip secretly when she lowered her head.

Yao Lin on the side spoke up at the right time to smooth things over, "I didn't arrange it well. It's just a room, so it won't happen."

"Second Aunt's arrangement is indeed inappropriate." Jiang Huai, as the grandson of the Jiang family, is never tactful even when dealing with elders, "Xuxu is my sister, the eldest daughter of the Jiang family. She lives in a room that was converted from someone else's unused baby room. It would be unavoidable to spread the word. Make people laugh.”

As he spoke, he suddenly put his arm around Guan Xuxu's shoulders, looking protective, "My sister didn't come home to suffer such grievances."

One sentence, intentionally or unintentionally, made Lu Xuexi next to her blush.

She had just hinted to everyone that she had been wronged, and Jiang Huai turned around and said that it was wrong for Guan Xuxu to stay in the room she had used.

Isn't this slapping her in the face?

And here, Guan Xuxu, who was suddenly hugged by the shoulders, froze even more.

I don't know if it was because of Jiang Huai's actions or his words.

Grievance or something, I can’t actually say it.

Compared to what he suffered in the Guan family, these two sentences are nothing.

But this was the first time anyone cared about whether she would be wronged.

My heart felt warm, as if I felt for the first time what kind of existence my family was.

Yao Lin's face was obviously embarrassed, but she was cursing Jiang Huai in her heart for still not giving her face. She subconsciously looked at Jiang Yucheng and Mr. Jiang next to her, but saw that neither of them spoke, so she could only endure the aggrieved feeling in her heart. , trying hard to maintain the elegance on the face,

"What Jiang Huai said is that the second aunt didn't think well, so I'll ask someone to make arrangements again."

Jiang Huai immediately smiled and nodded at her, "Then I'll ask Second Aunt to deal with it as soon as possible."

Then he turned to everyone, "I'll take Xuxu to the garden first."

After that, regardless of the opinions of everyone in the hall, he took Guan Xuxu to the garden.

After the two left, the atmosphere in the hall darkened. Yao Lin felt extremely wronged and opened her mouth to explain. At this moment, the housekeeper outside came in and said to Mr. Jiang,

"Sir, the doorman called to say that Mrs. Guan is coming to visit."

With the surname Guan, everyone subconsciously thought of Guan Xuxu.

I thought to myself: Didn’t this person just come over from the Guan family? Why is Baba chasing him here again?

"You're here to see Xuxu, right? It seems that you can't bear to leave this child." The third aunt of the Jiang family said with a smile, also to ease the atmosphere.

She just noticed that Guan Xuxu came in without any luggage.

Although I don’t know the reason, the Guan family must have come here specially to deliver the luggage.

Also, knowing that Xuxu is the daughter of the Jiang family, no matter how stupid the Guan family is, they will not do something stupid like not even giving her luggage.

The housekeeper seemed to hesitate for a moment and said, "That Mrs. Guan said she came to visit the third lady."

Mrs. Jiang San's smile froze, inexplicable and confused, "Looking for me?"

If the Guan family’s wife doesn’t come looking for the child, why should she look for her? ?

……

the other side.

The garden of the Jiang family is a typical European style. The retro fence on the side of the villa is covered with roses, and the well-kept lawn is green and looks even more brilliant in the hot summer.

Guan Xuxu followed Jiang Huai and listened to him casually introducing some small things in the garden, but her mind quietly drifted back to the scene where Jiang Huai helped him in the living room just now.

Something strange and subtle.

After a long while, she couldn't help but softly said, "Thank you."

Jiang Huai paused, looked at her, suddenly smiled and rubbed her head, "Brother, there is no need to say thank you."

Guan Xuxu just looked at him, with her hair messed up by him, and her whole person had an inexplicable sense of cuteness, which made Jiang Huai's eyes smile even deeper.

Just as he was about to say something else, his cell phone rang at the right time. Jiang Huai glanced at the caller and signaled Guan Xuxu to wander around by himself, then walked to the side to answer the phone.

Guan Xuxu walked forward and walked about ten steps. Suddenly, her eyes fell on a sister-in-law who was wiping tables and chairs at a corner pavilion in the garden.

The sister-in-law was around fifty years old, and she looked unremarkable on the outside. But from Guan Xuxu's perspective, one could easily see the traces of sinister aura wrapped around her body, which was only found in people who were contaminated with evil.

Guan Xuxu generally doesn't like to meddle in other people's business, because taking the initiative to get involved can easily lead to karma.

But if the person in front of her is left alone, her evil spirit may affect other people in the family.

She stepped forward.

The sister-in-law put a rag on her hand and wiped it mechanically. Her expression was dull and blank, and her eyes looked in one direction from time to time. It wasn't until Guan Xuxu walked up to her that she suddenly came back to her senses. , said hello to her in a hurry,

"Miss, miss."

"Do you recognize me?" Guan Xuxu was a little surprised. It had only been more than half an hour since she arrived at this house, and no one in the Jiang family recognized her.

"The housekeeper took the photo and asked all the servants in the house to recognize it in advance to prevent us from accidentally bumping into the lady." Auntie smiled at her ingratiatingly and explained.

Guan Xuxu didn't expect that the Jiang family had made such an arrangement in advance. It was silent but considerate enough, as expected of a big family.

"What's the matter, Miss?" Seeing that she didn't speak, the sister-in-law asked again.

Just as Guan Xuxu was about to speak, he saw two familiar figures suddenly walking towards the garden gate.

It was Bai Shuqin and Guan Ruirui.

When the two of them were led in by the butler in suits, they also saw Guan Xuxu in the pavilion. The moment they saw her, both of them looked stunned.

"How will you be here?!"
