The old housekeeper didn't think through the problem, so he turned around and went to the young master to report the situation...
At the gate of the manor, Su Li held hands with a handsome little boy.
The two of them just stood at the door waiting for the result, and they couldn't get in.
Su Xiaokai couldn't help but ask: "Mom, why did Uncle Xiao say he doesn't know us? Doesn't he want to see us?"
Su Li knelt down and nodded. She asked again with some worry: "Xiao Kai, he just doesn't want to see me, not you. Don't worry, he will let us in. Maybe you will see grandpa later."
Grandma, and your sister, Xiaokai, do you remember what I just told you in the car?"
Su Li was very nervous at the moment. When she thought about meeting that man next, she didn't know how to face him.
In the past few years, Su Li has always been thinking about the dead child. If the child in Su Li had not died, she would not have been able to endure the pain of separation and leave her to go abroad.
Fortunately, she knew that Xiao Teng would treat her own flesh and blood well. Now that Su Li's career abroad has stabilized, she is able to give her two children the best life.
So Su Li came here this time to negotiate with Xiao Teng, either to reach a cooperation or to return Yan Yan's custody rights. She took her daughter to live abroad with her.
Su Li knew that with Xiao Teng's character, he could not easily agree to give up custody of his daughter.
But Su Li felt that Xiao Teng cared about Yan Yan's feelings very much, and as long as Yan Yan strongly requested, he might be able to compromise.
"Remember, when you see someone asking for dessert later, you have to stay well and don't run around." Xiao Kai was a little helpless, "You have been saying this since yesterday. Mom, don't be nervous, I will wait.
You must behave well when you go in and you won't be annoying."
"Okay." Su Li smiled happily when she heard that her son was comforting her. She also felt that she was thinking too much.
Kai has been very well-behaved since she was a child. Except for the illness that made her a little worried some time ago, it has always made her worry-free.
After a while, the servant came over and opened the door, and saw a strange woman. He thought it was a woman who had attached herself to the Xiao family for unknown reasons.
When she lowered her head, she saw that the little boy next to her looked exactly like Yan Yan! This, this, this...
The servant suddenly panicked and quickly brought the mother and son in.
Su Li stood up obediently and followed...
Not long after, Su Li saw a pair of middle-aged women appear in her field of vision. After they glanced at Su Li, they lowered their heads and looked at Xiao Kai.
Seeing that the other person looked exactly like Yan Yan, they instantly understood that this woman was the one who had a relationship with Xiao Teng ten years ago and gave birth to Yan Yan! It turned out that there was another child! Xiao Teng didn't even tell the old couple!
Su Li turned to look at Xiao Kai: "Xiao Kai, call someone quickly."
"Hello, grandparents!"
Xiaokai shouted sweetly, instantly melting the couple's hearts.
"Good boy, please come in quickly." Mrs. Xiao said softly.
Su Li walked in awkwardly.
After the two sat down, Mrs. Xiao first asked the servant to bring a lot of fruits and snacks and put them on the coffee table.
"Your name is Xiao Kai, right? See if there is anything you like to eat? You can eat whatever you want. Don't be restricted at your grandparents' house." Mrs. Xiao said softly.
After Xiao Kai glanced at Su Li and received a positive answer, he picked up a snack and put it in his mouth: "Thank you, grandma."
Mrs. Xiao felt her heart melt when she heard a mouthful of grandma's words.
Then Mrs. Xiao took Su Li and asked a lot of questions about her family situation.
She knew that Mrs. Xiao meant no harm, so she answered them patiently.
Mrs. Xiao nodded with satisfaction. Now that Su Li suddenly appeared, she also saw the possibility of her son getting married.
Seeing that the pleasantries were almost over, Su Li went straight to the topic: "Madam, where is Xiao Teng? I have something to discuss with him."
She didn't expect that when she came in, she didn't see Xiao Teng first, but instead met his family.
Su Li felt that the matter of child custody should be discussed with Xiao Teng face to face, as it would not be good for the two elderly people to worry about it.
"He is still busy in the study. The company has important documents for him to see, and he won't be able to come out for a while! Miss Su, why don't you guys stay here first? We can wait until he has finished his work to discuss anything else." Mrs. Xiao didn't give anything.
When Su Li refused the opportunity, she turned around and told the servant, "Aunt Li, go and clean up the bedroom next to the study."
Seeing this, Su Li couldn't refuse, so she had to agree. She couldn't help but ask: "Madam, where is Yan Yan? Is she at home? Is it okay if I want to see her?"
"She is playing in the garden. Why don't we go together and let the two siblings get to know each other and cultivate their relationship?" Mrs. Xiao said with a smile.
Su Li smiled and was embarrassed to say that the two children had already met!
When Xiao Kai heard that he could see his sister, his eyes suddenly lit up, "I can see my sister! Great!"
Seeing Xiao Kai's cute look, Mrs. Xiao couldn't help but reach out and pinch his face.
At this time, Mr. Xiao, who had been silent for a long time, couldn't help but come over and pick up Xiao Kai: "Come, grandpa, can I carry you to the garden?"
"Okay." Xiao Kai said and gave Mr. Xiao a peck on the face.
Mr. Xiao was suddenly pleasantly surprised. When Mrs. Xiao saw this, she couldn't help but come over and said, "Grandma, I want to kiss you too."
Xiao Kai immediately followed the instructions, and the old couple instantly burst into laughter.
Seeing how harmoniously they got along, Su Li couldn't help but feel warm in her heart and smile.
It seemed that she was overly worried. Su Li had never met Master Xiao and the others, and thought they were as difficult to get along with as Xiao Teng. Unexpectedly, both of them were quite kind. Maybe there was a blood relationship.
Then they walked towards the garden. Only a few flowers and plants were planted around this garden, and more of the land was converted into recreational facilities for children to play.
Seeing this, Su Li felt relieved, thinking that Yan Yan had never been wronged in the Xiao family.
Su Li felt very happy at the thought of seeing her daughter soon.
Suddenly Su Li heard a silver bell-like laughter. She hurried over and saw a very cute little girl playing on the swing.
Seeing a stranger suddenly coming to her home, Yan Yan immediately stopped the swing and looked hard with her big eyes. She thought she had seen it wrong!
That’s right, it was really Su Li’s mother who came to find her!
Su Li smiled and waved, "Yan Yan!"
With a lot of emotion, she walked over quickly and wanted to hug Yan Yan, but was afraid that being too enthusiastic would scare the child.
Suddenly Yan Yan saw her grandparents walking over. She quickly jumped off the swing and hid behind her grandparents, "Grandpa and grandma, this is the mother Suli I told you!"
Su Li was a little embarrassed when he saw this. What did the child say to the two old people?
Thinking of this, Su Li had no choice but to restrain her inner discomfort for the time being.
Mrs. Xiao saw Su Li's awkwardness and said quickly: "Miss Su, don't worry, Yan Yan is just complimenting you to us! This child encountered danger when he was a child, and he will resist strangers when he sees him, but
I am completely defenseless against you."
Did you encounter danger when you were a child? When Su Li heard this, he felt heartbroken instantly. When he thought of Yan Yan in the Xiao family, there would definitely be some unscrupulous people with malicious intentions, but it was pitiful that Yan Yan was still so young.
But seeing that Yan Yan was normal except for being afraid of strangers, Su Li felt a little more relieved.
Then Su Li didn't say anything, just sat in the pavilion and watched, while Mr. Xiao played with the two little guys, with a smile on his face.
After Xiao Kai was put down, he quickly became close to Yan Yan, and the siblings met again, holding hands and being inseparable.
Su Li was handing them water. Yan Yan took the water and thanked her: "Thank you, Mother Su Li."
Hearing this, Su Li had a slight smile on his face, and finally entered Xiao's house. This was considered a small victory in stages.
Su Li returned to the pavilion. As soon as she sat down, Mrs. Xiao changed her mind: "Will Miss Su go abroad in the future?"
"Well, I should go back, my career is all over there." Su Li nodded.
Mrs. Xiao was instantly disappointed and couldn't help but change her words and persuade her: "I don't know what happened between you and Xiao Teng, but there has been no other woman around Xiao Teng in the past ten years. You must be of extraordinary significance to him.
, why don’t you just stay? If you want to work, I’ll ask Xiao Teng to arrange a casual position for you in the group. You can’t bear to be separated from your children even if you think about it, right?”
After hearing this, Su Li knew that Mrs. Xiao had misunderstood, but she couldn't bear to tell the old couple the truth.
It was obvious that the old couple treated Yan Yan very well. If Su Li confessed his purpose now, he would definitely not be able to see Xiao Teng. In the end, Su Li could only smile awkwardly.
However, at this moment, Su Li suddenly saw a large and familiar figure appearing not far away, walking towards the direction where they were.
When the other party saw Su Li, he was obviously stunned, but he soon recovered as before.
Xiao Teng walked over quickly and greeted everyone in his family, but did not pay any attention to Su Li.
Su Li just looked away awkwardly.
Mrs. Xiao on the side immediately understood that she was afraid of everything when she saw this. It seemed that the conflict between them was not small. It has been ten years and the two have not let go of their grudges.
When he saw Xiao Kai, Xiao Teng couldn't help but stop and look at him seriously.
Master Xiao stopped and asked, "Xiao Teng, are you done today?"
"I'm done with my work, so I just wanted to come over early to accompany Yanyan." Xiao Teng said calmly.
After saying this, Xiao Teng picked up Yan Yan at her feet and played with her lovingly, as if he were a slave to his daughter.
At this time, Xiao Kai quickly ran over, grabbed Xiao Teng's thigh and said coquettishly: "Dad! I want to hug you too!"
Xiao Teng was stunned when he heard this, "How do you know I am your father?"
Su Li was also stunned, why did his son suddenly change his mind?
"Sister Ten asked me to call her that." Xiao Kai explained.
Hearing this, Xiao Teng looked at his daughter in his arms, then turned to look at Su Li who was silent at the side. After getting no information from the other party, he turned around and hugged Xiao Kai.
Xiao Teng just held a cute baby in one hand. Looking at the twins, he felt extremely happy in his heart, but his face was calm and indifferent and did not show it.
At this time, Su Li came over and said, "Mr. Xiao, I have something to tell you."
"Let's go to the study and talk."
Hearing this, Xiao Teng's face darkened, and he put down the two little guys and let them play by themselves.
The two came to the study room. Xiao Teng sat on the chair with a royal posture, "Tell me, what do you want to say?"
"I originally wanted to reach a cooperation with you, but you obviously dislike me. Therefore, I can only ask you for Yan Yan's custody rights. Now my career abroad is very stable and I can provide them with good material conditions."
"Don't even think about it!" Xiao Teng said coldly.
It was difficult for Su Li to understand: "Why? Or what conditions do you want to give me the custody of Yan Yan? As long as I can do it, I will agree to it."
Listening to the other party's confident words, Xiao Teng couldn't help but look at her with admiration. She wasn't so hot-tempered when she climbed into his bed ten years ago. Su Li's whole person was completely different.
"You were the one who gave birth to two children behind my back, and you were the one who insisted on taking one child to live abroad. Why do you suddenly show up now and want custody of Yan Yan, so I have to give it to you?
"
Xiao Teng spoke in a deep voice, and every word he said seemed to be reading out Su Li's charges.
"If I hadn't thought that Yan Yan was stillborn, I would never have abandoned her. I also said that I will try my best to agree to whatever conditions you want to give me the custody of Yan Yan!"
Su Li was sweating profusely at this moment. She knew that negotiating with Xiao Teng was very difficult. The other party's strong aura almost made her breathless.
"Su Li, do you think I am a messenger?" Xiao Teng said coldly, as if he was mocking Su Li's innocence both inside and outside his words.
This made Su Li a little embarrassed, but she was very firm in her fight for custody of Yan Yan, and the atmosphere became tense instantly.
Suddenly, at this moment, the study door was opened, and Mr. Xiao and Mrs. Xiao appeared in their sight.
A flash of panic flashed across the two people's faces, and they soon calmed down. Xiao Teng knew that they must have heard the conversation just now.
"Why fight for custody rights? If you two become husband and wife, won't you be able to raise Yan Yan and Xiao Kai together? Besides, Xiao Teng, you are already in your thirties, so why don't you get married? Your father and I worry about your marriage every day.
No, I think Miss Su is very kind, and she must have feelings for you when she comes all the way from abroad to find you, so don't be so unforgiving."
Su Li: "..."
Xiao Teng: "..."
Mrs. Xiao said straight to the point. Although she had not been in contact with her grandson for a long time, Mrs. Xiao could not bear to leave Xiao Kai. She did not want Su Li to take the grandchildren away.
And as someone who has been here before, how could Mrs. Xiao not see that the two of them are very suitable for each other?
Su Li: Ah, this... this is a big misunderstanding. When did the two old people start listening outside?
