Chapter 1493: Chapter 1493: He is the Mastermind (5)
“Alright. I’ll get off work early today, and I’ll help Xiao Mama when I get there,” Su Hongxing responded quickly.
This time, Xiao’s mother happily hung up the phone.
The smile faded from Su Hongxing’s face; she couldn’t imagine how Xiao’s mother would react if she knew the whole story one day.
“I’ll go with you. To be honest, I haven’t seen Xiao Mama for a long time either.” Qiao Qiao’s voice snapped Su Hongxing out of her thoughts.
Su Hongxing gladly agreed, “Okay, you come with me.”
“Remember back in high school, I used to visit Xiao Family with you all the time, and sometimes stayed over. I really miss those good old days,” Qiao Qiao sighed.
Sadly, those innocent years won’t return. They’ve all grown up, and some have changed.
“It’s said that people who love reminiscing about the past are already old.” Su Hongxing laughed and teased.
At three-thirty in the afternoon, Su Hongxing went to Ye Qilan’s company to pick up Little Pudding and explained the reason. This time, Ye Qilan surprisingly didn’t go with her to see Xiao Family, only told her to come home early and not stay overnight at Xiao Family.
AftEr saying goodbye to Ye Qilan, Su Hongxing and Qiao Qiao took Little Pudding to Xiao Family.
Xiao’s mother had been waiting for them; she greeted them with a bright smile when she saw Su Hongxing.
Su Hongxing took the opportunity to push Little Pudding in front of Xiao’s mother, “Little Pudding, this is Grandma; hurry and greet her.”
Little Pudding sweetly called out and bowed just like an adult, “Grandma, my name is Ye Xiaobu, and my nickname is Little Pudding. Hello, Grandma.”
Xiao’s mother teared up upon seeing the miniature version of Su Hongxing, “This child is just too beautiful, too cute.”
She held Little Pudding, kissed him hard several times, and was unwilling to let go.
Su Hongxing and Qiao Qiao went into the kitchen to cook, leaving Little Pudding to play with Xiao’s mother.
Qiao Qiao occasionally poked her head to look into the living room; the love Xiao’s mother had for Little Pudding was written all over her face. However, so far, Xiao Ji hadn’t even left a child.
“Su, Xiao Mama is quite pitiable.” Qiao Qiao felt upset looking at Xiao’s mother like this.
Su Hongxing paused while picking vegetables, “Xiao Mama is just like my real mother; if in the future…”
If in the future she had to be ruthless with Xiao Ji, how could she repay the nurturing grace of Xiao Family?
“Xiao Mama only has Xiao Ji as her son; if she knew the truth, she might not be able to bear it. Su, if you and Xiao Ji formally clash, what will happen if Xiao Mama knows?” Qiao Qiao couldn’t imagine such a scenario.
“I don’t know either, my mind is very confused now.” Su Hongxing sighed lightly, “Things haven’t happened yet, let’s not think about it for now. Today, let’s focus on having dinner with Xiao Mama, and don’t let her notice anything off.”
Qiao Qiao nodded and answered in a low voice, “I know.”
The dinner was ready soon, the originally joyful atmosphere was abruptly halted by Xiao Ji’s sudden return.
Xiao Ji didn’t expect Su Hongxing to be there tonight either; he was momentarily stunned and quickly returned to normal, placing his suit jacket on the sofa.
Xiao’s mother saw Xiao Ji return home, “Why didn’t you call when coming home? By the way, how did you suddenly become the chairman of Hongkang Group? Weren’t you teaching? Why did you go back to the business world? What’s wrong with living a simple life…”
Xiao’s mother chattered and lectured Xiao Ji for a while, only to realize everyone suddenly fell silent. This atmosphere made her feel something was off, “What’s wrong with all of you?”
