Chapter 122 Xiao Manor

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

"Why are you suddenly talking about this?"

Not understanding why she suddenly mentioned this, Xiao Nanye looked at her. In fact, he did not want to know about her past, because there was a story of someone else in her past.

Considering his words as a positive answer, Su Mo said to herself, "Xiao Nanye, I will tell you everything. In exchange, you will tell me your past, okay?"

It turned out that the exchange was the key!

Xiao Nanye thought to himself, "The person who never likes to use her brain has suddenly become smart today. Is she worried about me?"

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

"What?" Su Mo pouted unhappily. She was willing to use her childhood story as an exchange, but he still had to consider it.

Xiao Nanye enjoyed her awkward appearance and asked her with a smile, "You mind it so much?"

Perhaps because she was angry with Young Master Xiao's proud expression, Su Mo raised her neck and denied it, "Of course not. Don't flatter yourself."

Of course, it was not true. She really minded it very much.

Because she did not want to see him frown without speaking. The way he looked now was different from that when he was usually angry.

Xiao Nanye narrowed his eyes, and the temperature in the car plummeted. "Do you want to consider taking back what you just said?"

Su Mo was speechless.

"Xiao Nanye, can you not be so overbearing!" Su Mo lowered her head and said gloomily.

She really wanted to ask him why he wanted to marry her six years ago.

She remembered that he said he was in trouble at that time, but what kind of trouble was it that he had to find a random woman to marry?

At the thought that he might find someone else to marry, Su Mo felt as if her heart was pricked by a needle. The dense pain spread out, leaving her nowhere to hide.

As if to confirm something, she suddenly reached out to grab him and looked at him worriedly. "Xiao Nanye, what happened to you?"

She thought to herself, "How did you become so unfamiliar? I almost can't recognize you."

He suddenly set aside the anger in his eyes. That moment of warmth made Xiao Nanye come to a sudden realization. He suddenly lowered his head and laughed at himself.

He often shut himself in a transparent room in his heart, making people not dare to approach him easily.

But now, the stupid girl was looking at him with a timid look. Her outstretched hand penetrated the sunlight on the transparent room and slowly approached him. He didn't feel cold anymore.

He was no longer alone!

Regarding those that he did not want to face, she would always be by his side.

When he thought about how he would be accompanied by her 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. It's just that I haven't been back for a long time."

One really couldn't hold too much expectation for Su Mo's IQ. After listening to Xiao Nanye's words, she suddenly thought to herself, "He wouldn't be homesick, would he?"

After the car got on the mountain, it drove smoothly all the way to the outside of a courtyard with red walls.

Outside the old-fashioned iron door, a bright black Maybach was parked. The door to the driver's seat opened and Ken walked to the back door. He respectfully said to the person inside, "Boss, we have arrived at the Xiao Manor."

Hearing a response from inside, Ken reached out and opened the car door for them.

Xiao Nanye got out of the car first and glanced coldly at the two guards at the door. His gaze slowly moved and stopped on an old man.

"Uncle Chen, how have you been?"

When Uncle Chen saw Xiao Nanye, he squeezed out a stiff smile on his face and walked over, "Young Master, you are finally back. Old Master has been waiting for you all morning."

Xiao Nanye nodded lightly and turned to pull Su Mo out of the car.

The snow hadn't stopped yet. As soon as she got out of the car, the snow fell on her shoulders. The temperature outside the car made her unable to bear it and she frowned.

She rubbed her hands and looked at the courtyard with red walls in front of her with her big eyes. She suddenly had a bad feeling.

Uncle Chen came over to hold an umbrella for them and looked at Su Mo curiously, "This must be Miss Su! If Old Master knew that you could see him, he would be very happy."

This person's facial expression was very stiff. Even Su Mo suspected that his words were not credible. She smiled awkwardly at him and said, "Hehe, thank you!"

Xiao Manor was really big. It was impossible to feel it just from the outside. Su Mo only knew after entering that she had to take a car from the main door to the main house.

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

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

Su Mo was originally very nervous, but when she heard the words "Little Zhu" which were homophonic to piglets, she couldn't help but laugh.

The more she thought about it, the more she found it funny, and she felt that it was rude to laugh at someone's name like this, so she covered her mouth and endured it.

"Miss Su?" Uncle Chen didn't understand. He turned to look at her with an emotionless face.

Su Mo trembled even more, and her entire face was buried in her hands. She could not help but laugh.

The worries about returning home were all washed away by her smile. Xiao Nanye sighed dotingly and said to the old man in front of him who looked suspicious, "She's fine. She might have thought of her own kind."

Xiao Nanye thought to himself, "Aren't piglets and bunnies the same kind?

"They are both non-humans!"

This time, Su Mo reacted quickly and stopped laughing. She looked at him with her cheeks puffed up. "Xiao Nanye, why are you scolding me!"

"Good girl, I don't mind it," Xiao Nanye lifted the corner of his mouth and said with a slight smile.

"..."

Su Mo thought to herself, "Young Master Xiao, can you be any more shameless?"

In front of them, Uncle Chen looked at the interaction between the two in the rearview mirror. The shock in his heart almost could not be hidden. He felt that the Eldest Young Master had changed a little when he came back this time.

He thought that perhaps Old Master would be happy to see the Eldest Young Master's change.

It took about five minutes for the car to reach the main house.

When she got out of the car, Su Mo looked at the three-story old villa in front of her. She suddenly remembered the house where the nobles and generals lived in ancient times, which were commonly known as mansions with many courtyards and very high walls.

Su Mo tried her best not to show a surprised expression, but in her heart, she couldn't help but feel that Xiao Family was the real rich!

They entered the living room first, and what entered their eyes was all the antique furniture. Even the fake mountains and fish ponds on the outside were rare for modern elements.

It seemed that Master was a traditional, conservative old man. This was very similar to Su Mo's grandfather. She suddenly looked forward to meeting Xiao Nanye's family.

Just as Uncle Chen led the people in, a woman happened to be carrying a plate of snacks out the door and saw them come in.

This was also one of Xiao Family's seniors. When she saw Xiao Nanye, her eyes were filled with tears. She choked and said, "Eldest Young Master, you're finally back."

Seeing that she was crying, Uncle Chen said to her with a cold face, "Why are you crying when Young Master is back? I will go up to see Old Master. Go to the kitchen and ask them to prepare more favorite food for Young Master."

"Hey, hey, I'll go now. Eldest Young Master, Eldest Young Madam, sit down and rest first. I'll be right back." The woman seemed to listen to Uncle Chen very much. She wiped her tears and left.

Because Su Mo was curious about Xiao Manor, she ignored the old woman's address for her for a moment.

Although Su Mo was full of curiosity and doubt, she did not say a word and just obediently followed Xiao Nanye.

Xiao Nanye was not surprised by her performance. After all, she actually grew up in a literary family. How could a child taught by such a family be uncivil?

After they left, Su Mo began to look around curiously.

Xiao Nanye looked at her gently and said, "Uncle Chen and Aunt Liu are both seniors of Xiao Family. Just call them that way."

"Alright, I understand." Su Mo nodded and sat down beside him.

Her eyes were not idle for a moment. She looked left and right, and her eyes were getting brighter and brighter. Her eyes were like an appraisal instrument. She estimated that there were many antiques here!

She thought to herself, "It's a wealthy and influential family. Definitely."

The teacups on the table were made of green-glazed porcelain. The tea in the cups was just brewed by Aunt Liu. Xiao Nanye tried the temperature through the cup before stuffing it into her hand. "You have not yet recovered from the cold. Drink more hot water."

Su Mo took a sip and handed it to him. Xiao Nanye did not care. He took the teacup and put it down.

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

"Tangerine," Su Mo said as she glanced at the fruits.

Young Master Xiao nodded and picked up a tangerine to peel. This scene happened to be seen by Aunt Liu who walked in from the door.

This senior of Xiao Family couldn't help but change her expression. She sighed in her heart, "When has the Eldest Young Master of Xiao Family ever served someone like this?"

She hurried over and said, "Eldest Young Master, let me do it!"

"No need."

Xiao Nanye peeled a piece of tangerine and fed it to Su Mo. He said to the person standing in front of him, "Has Aunt Liu been well?"

Aunt Liu nodded, "Alright. Uncle Chen and I are both in good health. Old Master is also in good health, but he is worried about you. Although he doesn't say it, we can all see it. Kid, why don't you at least show some humility?"

As she spoke, she began to wipe her tears again. Su Mo watched this scene with relish. As Su Mo ate the tangerine peeled by the Eldest Young Master, she began to imagine the image of Xiao Nanye as an unfilial grandson.

As she thought about it, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.

After Aunt Liu left, Su Mo quietly tugged at Xiao Nanye's sleeve. When he turned around, she asked, "Xiao Nanye, do you have a bad relationship with your grandfather?"

"What do you want to say?" Xiao Nanye was not very satisfied with her gloating just now. He glanced at her coldly.

"Speaking of which, what kind of person is your grandfather? Do you think he won't like me?" Su Mo refused to give up and asked him.

She couldn't be blamed for being worried. Ever since she entered this manor, she had felt that the atmosphere was strange. She felt uncomfortable all over. How could she be certain?

"Xiao Zhendong."

Xiao Nanye lightly spat out these three words. Looking at the dazed person tilting her head, he slowly cleared away the fog in his eyes. He added, "He's my grandfather."

"Xiao... Chief Xiao is your grandfather?" This time, Su Mo was completely scared silly. She opened her mouth, but there was no other expression on her face. Her buttocks were moving restlessly.

She had always known that Xiao Nanye's family background was not ordinary. She even suspected that he was an illegitimate son of a certain underworld boss, but she never thought that he was actually Xiao Zhendong's grandson.
