Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Lady Pei was as excited as ever when she saw Su Qian. Her watery eyes lingered as she walked over and wanted to hold her hand. “Xiao Qi, my good daughter, you’re finally willing to come home…”
Su Qian didn’t miss the viciousness that flashed across Lady Pei’s eyes. Her red lips curled into a sharp arc as she turned to the side and coldly dodged Lady Pei’s hand. “Don’t touch me.”
Su Qian’s actions were extremely cold as she swept her gaze over Lady Pei as if she had touched something dirty.
Lady Pei had long known that Su Qian wouldn’t give her face. A smug look appeared in her eyes, but she had a hurt expression on her face. “S-Sorry, I forgot that you had already left the Su family…”
When everyone saw this scene, they could not help but feel pity for Lady Pei.
Then, everyone looked at Su Qian with even more coldness.
“Madam, you don’t have to act this way.” Su Chenghua walked up quickly, and his gaze on Su Qian seemed triumphant. He haughtily curved his lips and said, “Miss Su, thank you for coming today.”
“Master Su, you’re too polite.” Su Qian smiled slightly and nodded at Su Chenghua.
Su Qian’s heart was as clear as a mirror, seeing through everything.
Su Chenghua probably wished to tear her into a thousand pieces in his heart, but he still managed to maintain an appearance of generosity. He had indeed improved compared to before.
Since Su Chenghua wanted to pretend to be magnanimous in front of her, she didn’t mind playing along.
Once a father and daughter, their insincere att.i.tudes now caught everyone’s attention.
“Greetings, Ninth Prince.” Su Chenghua ignored the two children and bowed respectfully to Xiao Yan.
“Ninth Prince’s presence brings light to our humble Su family,” Lady Pei said gently.
In her heart, she still harbored the thought of marrying other daughters of the Su family to Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan had once been a useless prince, but he was not the same as he was yesterday. The First Prince, Second Prince, and Fourth Prince were all secretly reaching out to Xiao Yan. Those who had some strength wanted to rope him in.
However, Xiao Yan hadn’t responded to any of them or accepted any olive branch offered by any forces.
But that did not hinder the Su family from pleasing Xiao Yan.
Regardless of Xiao Yan’s att.i.tude, he was a powerful prince, and when the time came, he would inevitably be involved in the power struggles within the imperial court.
By then, as long as the Su family could establish any connection with Xiao Yan, it would be beneficial for them.
“I heard that Eldest Miss Su was unwell, so I came over to take a look.” Xiao Yan’s tone is indifferent.
He wanted to see how Su Yunxian, who was supposed to have died at his hands, had managed to pull herself together.
How could everyone have known that Xiao Yan actually harbored such a terrifying thought in his heart? For a moment, they looked at each other in dismay and saw the deep shock in each other’s eyes.
They thought, “What was going on?”
For a moment, everyone looked at Xiao Yan and then at Su Qian.
Didn’t Xiao Yan used to be wholeheartedly devoted to Su Qian? Now that Su
Qian was still by his side, he was actually concerned about the Eldest Miss of the Su family?
Su Chenghua and Lady Pei also looked at each other, their eyes rather ambiguous.
It seemed their precious daughter was indeed remarkable. First, it was Fan Jinghua, and now it was Xiao Yan.. She seemed to have captured the hearts of all the men in the world!
