Ever since Father Xiao went out to answer the phone, Mother Xiao had been paying attention to Xiao Xiao. Seeing that Xiao Xiao’s words were getting more and more outrageous, she secretly cursed Father Xiao in her heart. For the sake of his little lover, he even left his daughter and the Xiao family alone.
At this moment, Mother Xiao was a little restless. After listening for a while, she was really worried, so she wanted to get up and stop Xiao Xiao. But just as she moved, someone came over to talk to her.
That person gave her a thumbs up and praised, “The Xiao family is indeed like father, like daughter. Miss Xiao is really amazing. She actually dares to directly go against Elder Wei. I admire you.”
How could Mother Xiao not hear that this person was gloating? However, she could not say anything else, so she could only laugh dryly and deal with it.
When Xiao Chen saw this, he got up and walked over. When that person saw Xiao Chen walk over, he turned his head and did not continue speaking. Only then did Mother Xiao heave a sigh of relief. Mother Xiao wanted to stand up and call Xiao Xiao, but was pushed back to her seat by Xiao Chen.
“Mother, wait. You don’t have to worry about Xiao Xiao’s matter. Elder Wei has already spoken. If you continue to meddle, you will not give face to Elder Wei. You don’t want to provoke him, right? You should wait first. I have something to tell you.”
“What are you doing here? Didn’t I tell you to stay by the side!” Upon seeing Xiao Chen, Mother Xiao’s nervous and anxious expression immediately turned into disgust.
Xiao Chen knew that Mother Xiao was angry when she saw him coming over. Mother Xiao had said that she didn’t want him to be too close to her.
The reason why he had sat beside Wei Xue and not Mother Xiao was because Mother Xiao didn’t like him. Whenever she saw him, she would get inexplicably angry. When he had not come to the banquet, Mother Xiao had warned him not to sit next to her. That was why he had sat next to Wei Xue.
Initially, he did not want to come over. However, when he saw that Mother Xiao was being put in a difficult position, he decided to come over and help Mother Xiao.
Walking to Mother Xiao’s side, Xiao Chen took out a tissue and handed it to her, motioning her to wipe her sweat.
Mother Xiao looked at her youngest son. There was no love in her eyes. Instead, it was filled with impatience. She asked coldly, “What are you trying to say?”
Xiao Chen did not mind that his biological mother hated him so much.
He shrugged. He said leisurely, “Mom, look at how nervous you are. Your health isn’t good to begin with. What if you get scared? Don’t worry. Although Xiao Xiao’s brain isn’t working well sometimes, she won’t be muddle-headed when it comes to important matters.”
Xiao Chen passed the napkin to Mother Xiao, but she didn’t take it. She even threw the napkin away in disgust. She frowned and looked away, not wanting to bother with him.
Seeing that Mother Xiao was ungrateful, Xiao Chen smiled and didn’t mind.
Coincidentally, there was a seat next to Mother Xiao. Father Xiao said that he was going out to make a call, but he didn’t come back, so Xiao Chen took the opportunity to sit down. Mother Xiao saw Xiao Chen sitting beside her and said impatiently, “If you have anything to say, just say it and leave immediately. Why? Do you still want to sit next to me?”
Xiao Chen smiled and said, “Don’t worry, Mom. I’ll just sit here for a while and then leave. When Dad comes back, I’ll return the seat to him. I know what you’re worried about. Actually, you don’t have to be nervous. I believe that you’ve already seen through Xiao Xiao’s motive. Her motive isn’t to make things difficult for Su Meng, but to pull Su Meng down so that she can rise to the position herself. She wants Wei Ting. Am I right?”
Mother Xiao was silent. She didn’t object nor was she certain. Of course, she knew what her daughter was thinking.
Xiao Chen continued, “Mother, actually, you don’t have to worry. I heard that the relationship between Su Meng and Wei Ting isn’t very good. Not only does Wei Ting dislike Su Meng, but he also hates her. Think about it. If Xiao Xiao really has a way to make Su Meng leave the Wei family, then won’t she have a chance then? If she can marry into the Wei family, isn’t that what you and Dad want? At that time, our Xiao family will be able to bask in the glory.”
“Bask in the glory?” Mother Xiao sneered, “If she offends Elder Wei now, does she still want to enter the Wei family in the future? In her dreams! That wretched girl doesn’t have a brain at all. There are plenty of ways to pull Su Meng down, yet she insisted on choosing such an obvious and stupid one.”
Xiao Chen did not think so. He approached Mother Xiao. He leaned close to her ear and analyzed in a low voice, “Provoking Elder Wei? Mother, haven’t you noticed? In the entire Wei family, only Elder Wei likes Su Meng and has always been protecting her. The others have no reaction at all. So what if she has provoked Elder Wei? How Old is he? At most, he will live for a few more years. It doesn’t matter what his thoughts are. As long as Xiao Xiao can please the Wei family’s parents, it will be fine.”
At this point, Xiao Chen smiled. He continued, “Don’t you often go shopping with Mother Wei and have afternoon tea with them? You must know what Mother Wei cares about the most. As long as you and Xiao Xiao work together to settle her, won’t it be easy for Xiao Xiao to marry into the Wei family in the future?”
