Chapter 817: Each Bearing Ulterior Motives (4)
Su Xiyin threw the rosewood box straight on the sofa. After all, she was from a big family. It was usually fine just to tolerate them, because she did not want her husband to be put in a difficult position. However, when she truly got angry, she spoke in an imposing manner befitting of the head of a household. “Fifth Son’s family, make yourself clear. What do you mean by this?”
Cao Yunxian frowned and pretended to look at her in confusion. She rose with a smile. “Mother, what’s wrong? Can’t we talk nicely? Did I anger you?”
“You know what you did.” Su Xiyin let out a cold laugh. Upon seeing that she was still feigning ignorance, she pointed at the box. “What’s in your box? Don’t tell me you don’t know!”
Ling Sheng had already caught up with her when she saw a snow-white dog jump out of nowhere. It dashed past her and barked directly in the direction behind her. It was very fierce. When she turned her head, she saw that her father had just reached the door.
That small white dog was a Pomeranian. She had not expected this adorable little thing to be so scary when it was being fierce.
Huo Ci frowned. When he kicked at it, the dog was very agile and dodged immediately. He let out a cold laugh. “Fifth Sister-in-law, take good care of the beast you raised. Otherwise, you’ll see a pot of dog meat tomorrow.”
This bl*ody dog that relied on its master’s power to bully others always barked at him. Dogs surely resembled their owner!
Everyone in the family clearly knew that he was allergic to fur. It was one thing for her to raise a dog, but she had even brought the dog to the main residence arrogantly. She was obviously deliberately provoking him!
“Lele, come back quickly.” Cao Yunxian hurried forward and hugged the dog like a baby to comfort him. “Mommy’s good daughter, stop shouting. Listen to your hoa.r.s.e voice. Be good. Don’t be afraid. Mommy loves you.”
Ling Sheng knew that many people in current society raised dogs as their sons and daughters, so she was not surprised. However, when she saw her father’s thunderous, handsome face, she took a look at the dog.
Her father’s words were definitely not a threat. If this dog really dared to touch him, it might really become a dog-meat hotpot tomorrow.
The woman in front of her definitely knew that her father was allergic to fur. Then, had she brought the dog over on purpose? Was she openly provoking him?
“Sixth Brother, I’m really sorry. Lele is afraid of strangers. She gets frightened when she sees strangers, which is why she barked at you. Don’t worry, I won’t let Lele out the door.” Cao Yunxian caressed the little dog in her arms and turned to look at Su Xiyin. “By the way, Mother, what did you want to talk to me about?”
Huo Ci’s expression was cold as he stood at the door. His knife-like cold gaze landed on the dog and the woman holding it. “What does Fifth Sister-in-law mean by giving Sheng Sheng that bracelet? Are you cursing her?”
Cao Yunxian carried the small dog in one hand and opened the box with the other. She pretended to be shocked as she bellowed, “What’s going on? Why is this bracelet here? It must be your Fifth Brother. Huo Pei, Huo Pei, what are you doing? Hurry up, come out and give an explanation. Mother and Sixth Brother are accusing me to death.”
Ling Sheng thought to herself, every woman in a large residence is great at acting. With such good acting skills, it would be a waste not to be an actress. She was faking it so realistically.
Cao Yunxian felt extremely wronged. She explained that she did not know. That the bracelet definitely was not the gift she wanted to give Ling Sheng. “Mother, Sixth Brother, everyone in the capital knows about this bracelet. How could I give this bracelet to Sheng Sheng? Am I such a malicious person? You mustn’t misunderstand. I let Huo Pei take it after I kept it away. He’s a man. I’m afraid he accidentally took the wrong one.”
