Chapter 261: Members of the Xiao family
Hearing that name, Xiao Yue wrinkled her brows in displeasure.?This man sure is annoying, shouldn’t he know his place by now? Plus, he has seen me with another man, so why is he still pestering me?
Unfortunately, Xiao Yue’s father didn’t have confidence in Xiao Yue’s ability to rope in Quan Yu so he had her keep Chen Shuo on as a spare… It was incredibly annoying to Xiao Yue. Xiao Yue’s face turned up with impatience.?The man that I want to see, I can’t see; the man that I don’t want to see, I keep seeing!?As Chen Shuo’s face appeared in her mind, Xiao Yue felt like vomiting.
But everything will be resolved at the party tomorrow. I wonder what will happen when someone as serious as Chen Shou match with the bitch, Mo Li??Xiao Yue’s eyes darkened.?Once the party is over, things will be a done deal between Chen Shou and Mo Li, then I wouldn’t need to deal with them ever again!
“Fine, tell him that I will meet with him tomorrow. Also, remember to go grab my dress, I have to be the prettiest at the party tomorrow.” Then Xiao Yue shooed the maid away and she collapsed into her bed.
…
Ever since Xiao Yue made a fool of herself at the charity ball, Xiao Ming had lost hope on his daughter. Xiao Ming’s health was deteriorating. However, this was no one’s fault but his. He loved to indulge in debauchery when he was young and now his sins were catching up.
When Xiao Yuean entered the house, he saw his father sitting in the garden, staring blankly into the distance.?What is he thinking about??“Dad, why are you sitting here all alone in the cold?” Xiao Yuan asked his father as he put his coat over Xiao Ming. “The winds are strong. You should take care of your health.”
Xiao Ming lifted his head to look at Xiao Yuan. He only had 2 sons, one of them was not interested in the family business, the other was not interested in anything.
Xiao Ming sighed helplessly seeing Xiao Yuan’s kind and childish demeanor. Xiao Ming couldn’t help but make the comparison in his mind. His close friend, Mo Yi had 3 sons. The eldest son, Mo Yun was even more cunning than Mo Yi, Mo Yun reminded Xiao Ming of Elder Mo. Mo Xiao was working overseas and he had made a name for himself outside of China. Even the youngest, Mo Zheng had millions of fans…
But what about him? His own daughter, Xiao Yue was a laughing stock and his two sons couldn’t care less about the family business. Xiao Ming felt so helpless. Xiao Ming used to cherish his daughter, Xiao Yue so much. He thought she was very clever and pretty but recently, she kept on disappointing him. None of his children was able to live up to his standard.
Xiao Yuan knew what was on his father’s mind but he still smiled and said, “Dad, don’t you worry, things will eventually work out. I’ll have the kitchen cook some chicken soup for you, you need some warmth in you.”
Xiao Yuan helped his father get up but Xiao Ming pushed him away and sighed, “There’s no need. I don’t feel cold. Let me stay here for a while.”
Xiao Yuan sighed. “Okay, then I shall stay to accompany you!”
After some time, Xiao Ming suddenly said, “I wonder how Xiao Xin is doing.”
“Dad, we didn’t hear any bad news about big sister so that means that she’s doing well. You shouldn’t worry too much about her. Plus, if you really miss her, then look at me, you always say I look like her. Plus I haven’t been home for days already and you didn’t even once take a serious look at me! Dad, I miss you!”
“Tsk, you’re always good with your words.” Xiao Ming looked at the child. Xiao Yuan was in a western suit but he always acted like a child before his parents.
Xiao Yue saw her father from her room. After giving it some thought, she climbed out from bed and walked out to the garden. “Father, brother, what are you two doing here? Dad, I keep hearing you complain about shoulder pain recently. I went to learn some skills from a master masseur, let me give you a massage.”
Hearing Xiao Yue, Xiao Ming’s expression softened. Instead of continuing the earlier topic, he asked Xiao Yue, “Are you sure Young Master Quan will come to the party tomorrow?”
“Of course, dad! You were there when I called him!”
Xiao Yuan heard his friend being mentioned and he raised his head. “What are you two talking about?”
“I forgot that you didn’t know about this. After all, you haven’t been home for so many days already.” Xiao Ming glanced at Xiao Yuan and sighed, “Your little sister has gained the interest of Young Master Quan, he’ll be coming to her birthday party tomorrow as her date.” Xiao Yue continued to massage Xiao Ming’s shoulders. Her technique was amateurish but she was serious.
Xiao Yuan was stunned. Based on his understanding of Quan Yu, he wouldn’t agree to something like this… unless he had lost his mind.
