Chapter 320: Chapter 320: Mysterious Person
Xiao Jinghuai felt suspicious, reached out to take the bright red invitation, glanced at it, and slightly lifted the corners of his mouth, "Congratulations, I wish you happiness."
"So you should be attending the night after tomorrow, right?"
Qiao Yu knew that he always disliked such occasions, but if he didn’t attend, who would she be hosting this engagement party for!
So, no matter what, she had to make sure he came.
Xiao Jinghuai smiled faintly, "It depends on my schedule the day after tomorrow. If I have time, I’ll go."
"Brother Jinghuai..." Qiao Yu called sweetly, "If you don’t come, I’ll be very sad. Besides, I want you to see if my fiancé is qualified!"
Xiao Jinghuai lingered on her sincere face for a moment and then said, "Alright, I’ll be there."
Qiao Yu instantly beamed with delight, "That’s great! Then I won’t disturb Brother Jinghuai at work anymore. We won’t meet until eight the night after tomorrow, okay? Bye-bye!"
"Alright."
Qiao Yu turned away with a smile, but her grin quickly faded once she turned around, and she elegantly walked away in her high heels.
As she arrived outside the Xiao Family premises, there was a limited edition Rolls-Royce parked there. The driver got out respectfully to open the door as soon as he saw her, "Miss Qiao."
Qiao Yu nodded, bent down, and got into the car. At this point, a slender, fair, and strong-looking hand reached over—
The man’s voice was rich and clear, "How did he react?"
"Barely any reaction, but he agreed to come the day after tomorrow!"
As she spoke, Qiao Yu looked at the man, only to see that exquisitely handsome face, and the tear mole at the end of his right eye that flared with wild charm.
She initially thought Xiao Jinghuai was already enviably handsome, but she hadn’t expected this man’s looks to be even more exceptionally stunning and mesmerizing.
The main thing was they both had one objective, which was...
At this moment, Qiao Yu suddenly curled her lips into a smile. It seemed heaven was indeed on her side; otherwise, it wouldn’t have sent such an "ally" to her.
—Xiao Jinghuai, I will make you regret it!
...
When Song Song was driven to a villa located on a hillside, a woman wearing an exquisite cheongsam was already waiting outside.
The woman was quite beautiful, with a smile and a dignified manner, clearly from a noble family.
Song Song excitedly got out of the car to greet the woman, fawningly calling out, "Mom, you didn’t have to come out and wait for me. The wind is so strong outside; what if you catch a cold? Come, let me help you inside."
Such a graceful and beautiful lady, coupled with her age, must be Xiao Jinghuai’s mother!
So being enthusiastic wasn’t wrong, right? After all, maintaining good relationships with the in-laws is fundamental to long-term success.
Upon hearing this form of address, Sister-in-law Zhou was thoroughly confused. Although the young master had phoned earlier saying Young Madam had temporary amnesia due to a car accident, she hadn’t expected it to be this severe.
"Young Madam, I’m not the young master’s mother. I’m Sister-in-law Zhou. Do you really have no memory at all?"
Song Song was embarrassed, her extended hand frozen in mid-air, "...Sister-in-law Zhou?"
"That’s right!"
"I’m Sister-in-law Zhou, the one who taught you lessons before!"
Song Song quickly withdrew her hand, smiling apologetically, "Sorry! My brain is a bit messed up right now, so I can’t remember the past."
"Oh, it’s okay, isn’t it supposed to be temporary amnesia? It should recover soon. Young Madam, let’s go inside!"
Song Song glanced at this villa which rivaled the Imperial Palace’s inner courtyard, unable to hold back from quietly complaining, "Capitalists sure are capitalists; building a place like this could probably feed and shelter a small country in Africa for years."
Sister-in-law Zhou: "..."
As the two just stepped inside, they saw a small figure standing by the door, arms crossed, with a pout that puffed up his little face more than a Baozi.
Song Song curiously walked over, bending down to look the little guy in the eye, "So cute, where did this child come from? Sister-in-law Zhou, is he your grandson?"
Sister-in-law Zhou: "!!!"
So the young master didn’t tell her about the young master’s child, huh!
Throwing such a big challenge at her? How brutal!
How was she supposed to explain?
At this moment, Xiao Beibei suddenly spoke, "Stupid woman, now you’re so stupid that you don’t even recognize me?"
"Oh, oh, oh!"
Song Song didn’t expect this little brat to be so cocky, "Hey! You brat, how can you say that? What’s this ’stupid woman’? I’m old enough to be your mom, you know? With such disrespect..."
"Sister-in-law Zhou, whose child is this?"
Sister-in-law Zhou’s expression grew more troubled, and finally, having no choice, she confessed, "Young Madam, this is... the young master’s child, also, your child."
"You say this is Xiao Jinghuai’s child?" Song Song was shocked, "Which means my stepson, damn, I’m actually a stepmother!"
"How silly must I have been before to let everything slide and marry Xiao Jinghuai! Having nothing is one thing, but to even have a stepson."
Moreover, this stepson clearly didn’t get along with her; otherwise, he wouldn’t call her a stupid woman.
Xiao Beibei also sensed the woman’s strangeness, "Hey! Stupid woman, what’s wrong with you? Got your head crushed by a door or kicked by a donkey, getting dumber by the day!"
Sister-in-law Zhou saw this mother-son conflict growing deeper and quickly stepped forward to pull Bao Bei behind her, smiling, "Young Madam, don’t mind the child. You actually had quite a good relationship before, but then it inexplicably became strained. It’s best to live harmoniously, wouldn’t you say?"
Song Song certainly agreed, "As long as he doesn’t trouble me, I won’t trouble him. But if he dares to provoke me, he better be mindful of his butt getting a beating!"
Sister-in-law Zhou also noticed that she was not the same good-tempered Young Madam she used to be.
Xiao Beibei jumped out from behind, raising his little head high, "Stupid woman, when did you become so fierce? You even dare to threaten me!"
Song Song bent down, reaching her hand to pinch the little guy’s face—a sensation that felt really nice, "Hehe! Just recently, so you better behave!"
Humph! Xiao Beibei was a master at dealing with kindness, not tough tactics. Wanting him to behave well was a dream; he had to show her his prowess!
As Song Song went upstairs, Sister-in-law Zhou advised Bao Bei, "Little master, Song Song had a car accident recently, so she has amnesia, as you see... her temper isn’t as good as before, so try not to provoke her, okay?"
Xiao Beibei didn’t reply, just pushed Sister-in-law Zhou away and ran off.
Sister-in-law Zhou shook her head helplessly, "Ah, none of them give any peace of mind."
Song Song randomly entered a room, feeling utterly exhausted due to the long journey, and sprawled on the bed, she drifted off quickly.
In her dreams, she sensed something cool on her body, as if something was crawling.
She instinctively waved her hand, turned over, and continued to sleep, but soon that feeling returned...
Frightened, her hairs stood on end, and she sprang up from the bed!
