After Liu Tingzhen returned home, she was probably shocked because she was deceived by Li Ruoping. For a few days, she lived in seclusion and basically stayed in her room, silently chanting Buddhist scriptures.
Even if we have three meals a day, the servants will serve them.
Occasionally when she sees mother and daughter at home, she avoids her eyes, lowers her face, and leaves in a hurry.
No more arrogance than before.
However, she no longer refused to let Su Mi live or deny Su Mi.
Shi Yihan is a gentle person on the outside, but in fact he is very generous. Because he loves his husband deeply, he cannot argue with his mother-in-law about the blame she has placed on him over the years.
No matter what, the old lady is also the biological mother of the man she loves most.
Occasionally when I meet my mother-in-law at home, I will take the initiative to say hello and ask the servants to cook her favorite dishes and bring fruits to her every day.
But out of dignity, Liu Tingzhen remained silent and had no reaction.
…
In two days, it will be the Zong family’s family dinner.
This is the family recognition banquet where Su Mi officially recognizes her ancestors.
Zong Lu had already ordered clothes for Su Mi to wear at the banquet. He asked an old tailor who specialized in serving the Zong family to come and measure them. The clothes can be delivered today.
In order to let Shi Yihan go out as much as possible and meet as many people as possible, Su Mi took her mother to get it instead of having the tailor come.
After taking the clothes, the mother and daughter came back in the car talking and laughing.
Shi Yihan was tired after taking medicine, so he went back to his room to sleep.
Liu Tingzhen was also taking a nap at this time.
Zong Lu is not at home.
There is a villa under the Zong family's name, which is a private property and has rarely been used in recent years.
It is said that it was built by the ancestors of the Taifu of the Jin Dynasty at that time, and it is regarded as the ancestral property of the clan.
Later, it was renovated every few generations.
The recognition banquet is arranged there.
Uncle Chao said that Zong Lu went to the villa to prepare today.
Su Mi walked towards her room, thinking that it was her lunch break and she wanted to call Xiao Subao.
I am in Jingzhou these days, and I can only rely on a few phone calls and videos every day to see the little guy.
She proposed to Zong Lu and Shi Yihan that she would like to take Xiao Subao to attend this wedding banquet.
Xiao Subao is her son and a descendant of the Zong family.
Logically speaking, they should be together.
Shi Yihan had long wanted to meet his grandson, but Su Mi couldn't help but agreed after being busy with her son.
Su Mi also called Huo Shenxiu and asked him to ask for leave from the kindergarten for Xiao Subao, and then ask Han Fei or Butler He to send it over.
She took out her phone and dialed Xiao Subao, then pushed open the door to her room, only to hear the familiar ringtone of the phone ringing from her room.
Immediately afterwards, Little Subao ran over with two little lotus legs:
"Mama, you're back, I miss you so much——"
She was so surprised that she knelt down and said, "Su Bao, why are you here?! Why didn't you tell me in advance?"
The little Subao hung on her neck and refused to come down. She rubbed her here and there before looking back.
Only then did she see Huo Shenxiu standing behind him, his coat on the sofa, wearing a white shirt and gray trousers, looking fresh and handsome, staring at her with a faint smile in his deep eyes.
She kissed Little Subao a few times, let go, held his hand and walked over: "Did you personally bring Little Subao here?"
I thought that his company had too many things to do and he would never be able to come to Jingzhou again.
I didn't expect it to come so soon.
I also personally brought a piece of Subao.
He lowered his head and rubbed the tip of her nose with his fingertips: "I'll come as soon as I'm done with it."
There is no way for her to stay alone in Jingzhou.
He had been separated from her for too long.
I don’t want to be apart for another day.
Su Mi's cheeks felt inexplicably hot when he touched her with his fingertips.
Before she could react, he lowered his head and slid to her ear. Taking advantage of Xiao Subao's unpreparedness, he quickly kissed her delicate ear flesh, breathing lingeringly:
"Miss me."
She warmed her face and rubbed her ears to indicate that the baby was still there.
Little Subao raised his head, his big eyes filled with wisdom and sophistication that could see through the world: "Do you need me to go out?"
Su Mi looked at Huo Shenxiu with even more annoyance.
Huo Shenxiu didn't take it seriously, held her hand, and picked up the little Subao with the other hand:
"Let's go out together."
He walked out of the room and shouted.
Uncle Chao came over.
She asked Huo Shenxiu curiously: "What are you doing?"
He glanced at her and said nothing. He only said to Uncle Chao: "I'm taking Mimi and Xiao Subao out. Please let me know if your young master comes back."
Xiao Subao bowed in a sweet voice: "I'm sorry, Grandpa Chao."
When Huo Shenxiu brought Xiao Subao in, Uncle Chao had already met Xiao Subao.
I know this little guy is Miss Mimi’s son.
Seeing how sensible this little guy is now, Uncle Chao's face shows kindness:
"good."
Watching Huo Shenxiu take mother and son out of the house, Uncle Chao's eyes stayed on the back of Xiao Subao, and then looked at the two children, the elder and the younger, looking happy and happy. His gentle and loving eyes slowly dimmed again, thinking of Zong Lu,
He sighed inexplicably, and then turned around and entered the house.
…
Huo Shenxiu came to Jingzhou this time and specially prepared a car for local use.
It's a dark gray Land Rover with local number plates.
After a while, the car drove to a nearby villa community.
Even if Su Mi is not very familiar with Jingzhou, she still knows that this community is expensive.
Quiet environment and tight security.
Huo Shenxiu went in and drove the car outside a single-family villa.
The smart door of the villa opens.
In the yard, a middle-aged woman who looked kind and clean was waiting. Seeing the three people coming, she said politely:
"Mr. Huo, Miss Su, young master."
Su Mi probably guessed something.
Sure enough, Huo Shenxiu motioned for Xiao Subao to follow the middle-aged woman to wash her hands first, then tilted her head: "Do you like it?"
Although it is not as big as Huayuan and is slightly more refined than the Zong Family Courtyard, it is definitely a luxury house in Jingzhou where land is at a premium.
She said: "Is this your house in Jingzhou?"
"This time I went back to Tancheng to handle official business, and by the way, I asked Han Fei to get a house here. If we come here for a short stay, we can also live here. This community is not far from the Zong family. It's only about ten minutes' drive. That was Han Fei just now
The nanny hired is a local. Her surname is Liu." After a pause, he added: "Your name is written on the real estate certificate. It is in the bedside table drawer of the bedroom upstairs."
This girl's natal family is in Jingzhou, so she will definitely have to come here often from now on.
He also definitely has to accompany her here and always stay at the Zong family, which is not good.
It's better to have your own place.
This also prevents Zong Lu from always laughing at him for being a door-to-door son-in-law.
Su Mi turned her eyes and saw a white private car parked in the garage.
It looks light, convenient and fashionable. It should be specially given to her for use in Jingzhou.
Can't help but look at him.
Did this man find a new home in Jingzhou just for her?
Her heart felt warm, and she stood up on tiptoes and hooked her arms around his neck: "Second uncle, you are so kind to me. Thank you."
His heart itched slightly when she shouted, he raised his hand and held her slender wrist. He put it to his thin lips and breathed hotly: "Just say thank you?"
Seeing that he was not polite, she deliberately muttered her voice, stood on tiptoe higher, and got close to the man's neck, exhaling like a blue:
"Why can't the mouth thank you?"
She must have been led astray by his LSP!
His heart felt as if it had been severely burned by sparks, and his deep and beautiful eyes could no longer cover up the ardor that had been concealed for her for so long.
But still remained calm:
"I don't quite understand. Could you please explain more?"
