Xiao Mubai looked at Su Mo coldly, thinking to himself, "This is Xiao Manor's most remote place. Usually, people hardly come here, and they do not dare to. How could this person come here?"
In Xiao Family, who didn't know him, Fourth Master Xiao?
However, this person's expression told him that she indeed did not know him. Moreover, from her appearance, it was clear that she was not Xiao Family's servant.
Almost immediately, Xiao Mubai guessed her identity.
"Miss Su?" Xiao Mubai walked over with a smile on his face.
Su Mo looked at his leg in surprise. When he walked over just now, his right leg seemed to be a little lame. It was really a pity since he dressed like an otherworldly immortal.
However, such a small flaw was difficult to hide his elegant and refined temperament.
Xiao Mubai said, "Did you come back with Ah Ye? Where is Ah Ye?"
Su Mo guessed that this person should also belong to Xiao Family. Hearing him ask Xiao Nanye, she said, "He is talking to his grandfather in the study."
Xiao Mubai smiled and said, "I have something to discuss with Ah Ye. Why don't we go together?"
Su Mo had a good impression of this person, so she nodded and said, "Alright! I was just worried that I wouldn't be able to find a way back!"
Sometimes, being bad with directions really could not be saved!
When Xiao Nanye went downstairs, he did not see Su Mo. He asked the servant and the other party said that Su Mo seemed to have gone to the bamboo forest. Xiao Nanye thought to himself, "What a troublesome woman."
Halfway there, he met the two who came together.
When Su Mo saw Xiao Nanye, the smile on her face bloomed. She ran over and shook his arm. "Xiao Nanye, you're done chatting with grandpa!"
"Alright," Xiao Nanye rubbed her hair and responded faintly. When he looked up at the person opposite him, he felt uneasy for a moment.
"Fourth Uncle."
"Fourth Uncle?" Hearing Xiao Nanye call that person Fourth Uncle, Su Mo was extremely surprised. She thought to herself, "This person does not look old at all. I still thought that he was a relative of Xiao Family."
As if he had already guessed Su Mo's reaction, Xiao Mubai looked at Xiao Nanye with a forced smile. "Ah Ye, we haven't seen each other for three years, right?"
Xiao Nanye nodded and said, "I just heard Grandpa say that Fourth Uncle has been back." If Xiao Nanye had known that Xiao Mubai was back, he would definitely not have brought Su Mo to Xiao Manor.
Su Mo did not notice that there was something wrong with the uncle and nephew. She pulled Xiao Nanye's sleeve and said, "Xiao Nanye, I found that you look a bit like your Fourth Uncle!"
Somehow, this sentence touched Xiao Mubai's bottom line. His expression changed, but very quickly, he returned to his casual appearance.
He looked at Xiao Nanye with an insincere smile, wanting to know how he would react.
Xiao Nanye was also stunned for a moment. He lowered his head to look at Su Mo's expression that looked like she was asking for praise. The corners of his lips curled up slightly as he patted her head and said, "Alright, you found it out."
Su Mo's expression on her face looked like she had already known, and she was laughing so hard that her eyes could no longer be seen.
Xiao Mubai stopped laughing and looked at Su Mo coldly. He thought this girl seemed to be different from those in the past.
Sensing Xiao Mubai's gaze, Xiao Nanye raised his head and gave the other party a warning look. He lowered his head and said gently to Su Mo, "Aunt Liu said she roasted the biscuits. Do you want some?"
Su Mo nodded, thinking that if she could learn how to cook biscuits, she could make some when she wanted to eat in the future, so she asked Xiao Nanye, "Can I learn to make biscuits from Aunt Liu?"
"Yes, but you can't tire yourself too much."
Xiao Nanye pulled Su Mo and turned to leave. Behind them, Xiao Mubai coldly watched the two leave side by side, his eyes full of malice.
Because of the food, Su Mo temporarily put Xiao Family's handsome Fourth Uncle to the back of her mind. When she returned to the main courtyard, she finally remembered. "Where is Fourth Uncle? He was still behind us just now!"
"Don't you want to learn how to make biscuits? Go!" Xiao Nanye did not want her to mention Xiao Mubai, so he handed her over to Aunt Liu.
As a result, Su Mo completely forgot about the Fourth Master of Xiao Family.
Because it was the eve of the new year, other than Xiao Junwan who was celebrating the new year with her husband's family, Second Master Xiao was also rushing home, and the members of Xiao Family were all gathered.
Su Mo was having fun in the kitchen. She even helped Aunt Liu roast the cakes. Then, she carried the cake to Xiao Nanye as if she was presenting a treasure. "Xiao Nanye, look at the cake I baked."
At this time, the family of Second Master Xiao also came. A few juniors came to give new year's greetings. All ten of them were chatting in the living room when they saw a girl running in with a cake in her hands.
When she entered, she ran too fast and almost fell.
When Xiao Zhendong saw this, he was so scared that his heart almost jumped out of his chest.
Su Mo was also shocked. When she saw the room full of people, other than Wen Zijin who she had met, she did not know anyone else. She unconsciously took a step back.
She thought to herself, "Could I pretend that I have never been here so I can turn around and leave this place?"
Xiao Nanye was also frightened by her. He got up and walked toward her. He took the cake from her hands with one hand and held hers with the other. Seeing that she did not move, he asked her, "What's wrong?"
Su Mo glanced at him, lowered her head, and said in a small voice, "Xiao Nanye, there are many people in your house."
"They are all here to give new year's greetings to grandfather. They will leave after receiving red packets," Xiao Nanye comforted her by pinching her palm.
"Really?" Su Mo did not quite believe it, thinking to herself, "Moreover, these people are so strange. They could just continue to chat. Why are they all staring at me? Do they think that they are looking at a gorilla in a zoo?"
Xiao Nanye thought to himself, "Recently, why is it that the more I look at her, the more I feel that this girl is naturally silly?"
Xiao Nanye sighed and pulled Su Mo over, introducing her to the elders who had watched him grow up and his peers who had grown up with him, "This is Su Mo, my wife."
Just like this, Su Mo was pushed to the front. She was not prepared at all. She greeted everyone with a silly smile, "Hello, I have baked the cake. Do you want to eat it?"
Those sentences made people all stunned.
Looking at the expressions of disbelief, Xiao Nanye felt the corner of his eyes twitch, and he pulled her back to sit beside him.
Unexpectedly, someone actually cooperated and reached out to grab the cake on the table, but the other hand was one step ahead.
"This is mine. If you want to eat it, go to the kitchen and get one yourself." Young Master Xiao held the love cake made by his wife and looked coldly at the man.
Thus, everyone was left speechless.
They thought to themselves, "Is this still the Young Master Xiao that everyone knows?"
"Xiao Nanye, you can't be so rude. They are guests." Su Mo's face was dyed red by Xiao Nanye's shamelessness and she quietly pulled his sleeve.
Xiao Nanye thought to himself, "Guests?"
"What bullshit!"
"They only heard that I brought my wife back today, and all of them came to watch the show!"
Young Master Xiao turned a deaf ear and ate his cake expressionlessly.
Su Mo sat for a while. She felt that everyone was always looking at her. She felt very awkward. Just as she was about to find a reason to go out, she saw an acquaintance enter the door.
"Grandpa Xiao, I'm here to give new year's greetings to you," Jiang Shengze said sweetly as he entered with a plate in his hands.
He held a plate of fruits. Following him, Aunt Liu said to him with a smile, "Young Master Jiang, you are a guest. How can I let you do the work? Give me the plate."
Jiang Shengze rolled his eyes and handed the plate to her. He took a strawberry from the plate.
This young master was not ashamed. As he ate, he walked over and knelt on the carpet in front of Xiao Zhendong with a thump. He shamelessly extended his hands to ask for red packets.
"I haven't scolded you that you helped Ah Ye hide the news from me for so long, but you still dare to ask for red packets from me?" Xiao Zhendong knocked him with his cane.
Naive Jiang activated his shameless mode and hugged Xiao Zhendong's thigh as he shouted, "That’s something completely different. It doesn't count. Grandpa Xiao, where are the red packets for me?"
"You stinking brat." Xiao Zhendong was entangled by him and could only ask Uncle Chen to give Jiang Shengze the red packets that he had prepared beforehand.
Jiang Shengze ran away after receiving the red packets. He pushed away the others in an overbearing manner, squeezed into Su Mo's side, and sat down. He stretched out his hand toward Xiao Nanye. "Bro, red packets!"
Su Mo had already recognized how shameless this person was. She slapped his hand away and answered for Xiao Nanye, "No more red packets!"
"No way!" Jiang Shengze wailed and looked at Xiao Nanye pitifully, "Boss... Bro..."
Xiao Nanye, who was chatting with others, turned to look at Jiang Shengze and said shamelessly, "All my money is with her."
In other words, if Jiang Shengze wanted red packets, he could go with his sister-in-law.
Jiang Shengze's reaction was half a beat. When he understood, he wailed again, "Boss, are you serious?"
He thought to himself, "Money is the dignity of a man!"
"How could you hand over the financial power?"
"You can't spoil your wife like this. Boss, where is your integrity?"
When the others heard this, they were filled with respect for Su Mo, thinking to themselves, "To be able to make Xiao Nanye do this, this woman is not simple!"
After a while, Han Ziyi and Qiao Mingyuan also came and paid a new year’s visit to Xiao Zhendong.
Xiao Zhendong liked these two youths very much and asked Uncle Chen to give them red packets.
With the three of them here, Su Mo did not feel that awkward anymore.
The sky gradually darkened. The dishes were served one after another. The juniors who came to give new year's greetings also left one after another. Only Jiang Shengze and the other two stayed for the meal.
The kitchen was bustling with noise and excitement for a whole day. At this time, the dishes were placed on the table. They were perfect in terms of color, taste, and smell. There were chicken and duck, fish and meat, you name it.
It was a very sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner.
After Xiao Junwan had a New Year's Eve dinner with her husband's family, she also came here with her children.
After dinner, Xue Mei suggested playing mahjong for entertainment, so she invited Su Mo, but they still lacked another player.
Xue Mei was just about to invite a junior over to make up the numbers when she saw Fourth Master Xiao, who usually did not like to join in the fun, walk over and sit on the chair. "Second Sister-in-law, Third Sister, you don't mind counting me in, right?"
After the shock, Xue Mei quickly smiled and said, "Of course, Fourth Brother is welcome to join us. This might be a bit of an inconvenience for you to accompany us."
Xiao Mubai smiled and said, "I heard that playing mahjong is the best way to see a person's character. Miss Su, don't you agree?"
"Ah? This..."
Su Mo, who was suddenly caught off guard by the question, replied in embarrassment, "Actually, I don't know either."
Xiao Mubai thought to himself, "It seems that this person called Su Mo is somewhat different from the information on the documents!"
The corners of Xiao Mubai's mouth curled up. Just as he was about to speak, Xiao Junwan beside him knocked on the mahjong table. "Let's play mahjong then. There's no need to talk so much nonsense."
