Chapter 129 Hard to Be a Junior

When Su Mo did not sleep well, she was a little irritated. She opened her eyes and looked at Young Master Xiao who was sitting by the bed. She frowned and began to grind her teeth.

"Xiao Nanye, I'm going to kill you!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a piece of clothing flew over her head, accompanied by Xiao Nanye's cold voice, "Put on your clothes and come down."

"Young Master, the car is ready." Little Qiu's voice came from downstairs.

As Xiao Nanye walked out, he said to the person who was about to fall behind him, "I'll give you ten minutes. You can sleep on the sofa if you're late!"

Su Mo had just fallen on the bed when she heard this. She immediately woke up. It was simply torture to let her sleep on the sofa on such a cold day!

After a struggle in her mind, she closed her eyes and began to put on her clothes.

After Su Mo got into the car, she had a chance to ask, "Xiao Nanye, where are you going so early in the morning?"

"To have breakfast," Xiao Nanye answered as he looked down at the newspaper in his hand.

These words caused the corners of Su Mo's eyes to twitch. Her lips moved. It wasn't easy for her to hold back her urge to swear. She thought to herself, "He dug me out of bed early in the morning just to eat breakfast?"

"It isn't even seven o'clock yet! Ah, seven!"

Later, Su Mo found out that this was Xiao Family's rule. One could not attend lunch or dinner, but as long as one lived in Xiao Manor, he had to attend breakfast on time.

When Xiao Nanye led Su Mo in, there were already four people sitting at the dining table. As juniors, the two of them were actually the last to arrive.

Xue Mei saw them come in and greeted them with a smile, "Ah Ye and Little Su are here! Come and eat! Your grandfather and aunt have been waiting for a while."

When she thought about how she was dilly-dallying and refused to get up, Su Mo's beautiful face turned red. She felt embarrassed to let Old Master wait for her to eat.

"Grandfather, second aunt, Mufeng, aunt."

Xiao Mufeng smiled at him. "Eldest brother, Miss Su, come and sit!"

Xiao Nanye nodded and pulled Su Mo over.

Just as he sat down, he heard Xiao Junwan say in an annoying tone, "How dare you ask our whole family to wait for you? Miss Su is really knowledgeable!"

No matter who heard this, they would not feel good. Su Mo's eyes turned hot. Just as she was about to speak, a hand pressed on her hand.

She turned her head and heard Xiao Nanye say, "It was my fault. We slept a little late last night."

Xiao Nanye's words clearly had no other meaning, but when Su Mo saw the meaningful eyes on the opposite side, she could not help but blush.

Just as she was about to open her mouth to explain, she heard Old Master Xiao speak, "It's normal for young people to wake up late. Little Su! Did you sleep well last night?"

"I slept well. Thank you, grandpa." Su Mo nodded.

Xiao Zhendong nodded. Xiao Junwan was unhappy. She looked at Su Mo sarcastically and said, "I heard that Miss Su just came back from abroad. I wonder if you were used to eating Chinese breakfast when you were abroad?"

Su Mo quickly waved her hand and said, "I was used to it. When I was in school, I missed my hometown's porridge, fried bread sticks, and side dishes the most."

"Your explanation sounds better than singing," Xiao Junwan still wanted to speak, but she heard Xiao Zhendong knock on the table with his chopsticks. "Eat well!"

No talk during eating. When the old man spoke, no one dared to say another word.

After breakfast, the family moved to the living room, drinking tea and chatting.

Xiao Zhendong was old, and it was easy for him to get tired. After saying a few words, he went upstairs to rest. Once he left, Xiao Junwan no longer had any scruples and no longer needed to endure anything.

"Miss Su."

As soon as she opened her mouth, Su Mo reflexively trembled. Then, Su Mo gathered her courage and said to her, "Well, aunt, if you don't mind, you can call me Little Su like grandpa."

Xiao Junwan really wanted to say that she disliked it, but in front of Xiao Nanye, she didn't want to go too far.

Therefore, she nodded and said, "Since you and Ah Ye are already together, as your aunt, I can't say much. But since you married into Xiao Family, you have to follow Xiao Family's rules."

"As Xiao Family's granddaughter-in-law, you don't need to have three obediences and the four virtues of women in ancient times, but you still need to be educated and reasonable. How about this? You and Ah Ye move back first. With my Second Sister-in-law by your side to educate you, I will be at ease.

As for those things which require you to expose yourself in the limelight, leave them to men to handle."

Su Mo's forehead was covered in sweat as she stammered, "This, that, actually I..."

"What do you mean by this?"

"Do you understand what I'm saying?" Xiao Junwan glared at her unhappily.

Su Mo swallowed quietly, thinking to herself, "Why did it sound like she was forcing me to compromise?"

She tugged at Xiao Nanye's sleeve and whispered to him for help, "Xiao Nanye, quickly tell aunt that I don't want to be a degenerate at home!"

In fact, according to Young Master Xiao, he also wanted Su Mo to be a degenerate at home, but it was a bit forceful to let them move back to the old house.

"Aunt, no need to worry. Momo and I don't intend to move back," Xiao Nanye said casually.

As soon as he opened his mouth, Su Mo felt more than half relieved. In her opinion, as long as Xiao Nanye was unwilling to do something, no one could force him.

However, when Su Mo was happy, Xiao Junwan was unhappy, thinking to herself, "If being forceful doesn’t work then I’ll just have to be nice!" She went soft and tried to persuade him.

"Ah Ye! Your grandfather is old now and can't stand more interferences. As his grandson, can't you follow his wishes a little? Don't make him angry every time you come back."

Xiao Nanye lowered his eyes and said indifferently, "In order not to anger him, I can't move back."

"You..." Xiao Junwan felt surprised that Xiao Nanye was able to win a round in this way. She pointed at him and did not speak for a long time. It almost scared Su Mo out of her wits.

At the side, Xue Mei quickly came out to mediate, "Speaking of which, we still don't know how old Little Su is this year? What does your family do?"

Su Mo glanced at Xiao Nanye. Seeing that he did not express anything, she said to Xue Mei, "I am 24 this year. My family used to do jewelry business."

"It's good to do business! It matches our Ah Ye's social status."

Xue Mei smiled and asked her again, "Then, what other people do you have in your family? Now that you are married to Ah Ye, we should find a time for our two families to meet up and have a good meal."

Speaking of this, Su Mo's eyes turned red. Xiao Nanye said on her behalf, "No need. Her parents passed away when she was a child. She is the only one left at home."

Unexpectedly, Su Mo was an orphan. Xue Mei was shocked. "I'm really sorry, Little Su!"

Su Mo shook her head. She had gotten used to it all these years.

For a moment, the atmosphere was a little awkward. At this time, Xiao Mufeng suddenly asked, "I wonder how my sister-in-law met my Eldest Brother?"

He was indeed a little curious. He did not expect his Eldest Brother to like this type of girl.

"We met at the airport." Su Mo remembered the scene of hugging someone's thigh the moment they met. Her face suddenly became a little hot. She thought Xiao Nanye must have felt that she was in a very sorry state at that time.

She secretly went to take a glance at Xiao Nanye, but she did not expect to be caught red-handed by him. In her mind, she suddenly remembered he once said they met at a funeral.

He did not look like he was joking, but why did she not have any impression of him at all?

She thought she must find an opportunity to ask him about it.

After coming out of the living room, Su Mo let out a long breath. She used to feel bored in Yu Garden, but now she realized that such an unrestrained life was really extravagant.

She really missed the days when she was in Yu Garden.

She had just taken a few steps when she heard someone behind her say, "Little Su! Junwan and I are going shopping. If you have nothing to do at noon, come with us!"

Su Mo's footsteps froze in mid-air. After a long time, she turned her head and met Xiao Junwan's eleemosynary expression. She forced a smile and said, "Oh, okay!"

"I'll go tell Xiao Nanye."

When she returned to the living room, Xiao Nanye and Xiao Mufeng turned to look at her together. The former asked her, "What's wrong?"

Su Mo squeezed out a smile. It was uglier than crying. It was obvious that she was asking for help. "Well, Xiao Nanye, I'm going shopping with Second Aunt and your aunt."

Unexpectedly, Xiao Nanye only nodded. "Buy whatever you like when you go shopping. Did you bring a card?"

Su Mo nodded and shook her head. "It's in the luggage case. I will go back to fetch it later."

"Alright." Xiao Nanye no longer paid attention to her, but instead, Xiao Mufeng looked at her with a funny smile. She turned back to look after every few steps as if she was determined to go to the execution ground.

Xiao Mufeng looked at her with a fake smile and said, "Sister-in-law seems to be very reluctant to part with Eldest Brother. Aren't you going with her?"

When Xiao Nanye heard this, he raised his head to look at Su Mo. He saw her suddenly run back. She said with a forced smile, "Hubby, do you want to go with me?"

This was the first time she had called him hubby, but she called him so smoothly as if she had practiced it thousands of times.

His eyes were filled with surprise, but his face was still expressionless. However, the smile on his lips could not be blocked. He felt this woman was not that stupid.

Under Su Mo's expectant gaze, Xiao Nanye stood up and walked out while holding her hand. "I need to go back to the company. I'll send you to the mall first."

Xiao Nanye drove them to the mall. After confirming the time, he returned to the company alone.

Although Su Mo was not able to let him stay as she wished, she was also very grateful for the hard work when Young Master Xiao had personally escorted her. She smiled and went shopping with Xue Mei and Xiao Junwan.

Women were born to go shopping. Everyone was a shopping maniac, but only Su Mo was a weirdo. She hated going shopping the most. Every time she went shopping, she almost fell asleep.

However, she was here to accompany her seniors today, so Su Mo was extremely alert.

When they passed by a gold store, Xiao Junwan and Xue Mei both took a fancy to a necklace, but the price of the necklace was too expensive. They glanced at it and hesitated.

Because Xiao Nanye had specifically reminded Su Mo before he left, she was very perceptive at this moment. She quickly ran over to pay the bill. "Beauty, wrap these two for me and swipe my card!"

This was the first time Su Mo felt so good when she swiped her card. Anyway, she spent his money, so she didn't feel distressed at all.

When they came out of the gold store, the smile on Xue Mei's face was obviously more sincere.

On the other hand, Xiao Junwan was a little unhappy. She even said that Su Mo should learn how to be thrifty and could not be so extravagant with her pocket money.
