Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
When Xu Huihui spotted Professor Suâs eldest daughter from a distance that night, she was even more astonished.
As someone who valued appearance, Xu Huihuiâs admiration for her immediately swayed.
âAuntie, Iâm back!â Xu Huihui called out before even entering, âAuntie, have you had dinner? Will you give me the autograph book I asked for? Iâm heading back to the Capital the day after tomorrow.â
Her most coveted item in the Capital was a signed copy of âThe Scumbagâs Handbook.â Previously, she hadnât realized it was published by her auntâs publishing house, but now that she knew, she sought to exploit that connection.
âWhy are you shouting?â Zhou Yan emerged from the Little sisterâs room, mindful not to wake the two girls who had just dozed off after a busy day of meeting new people. They had been too tired to walk back to Su Wenâs place.
âAuntie, Iâm back. I havenât eaten yet. Is there any food left at home?â Xu Huihui smiled ingratiatingly, âIâm starving.â
âDidnât Xiaoxiao take you all out for dinner?â
âDonât mention it. Big Brother was so furious he chased everyone away.â Xu
Huihui was very familiar with Zhou Yan. Although Zhou Yan wasnât in the Capital year-round, Xu Huihui had admired this aunt since she was young. Her greatest childhood dream was to be her auntâs daughter. Now, just bringing it up would provoke teasing.
If it were anyone else, it might have been too much, but Xu Xiaoxiao was entirely unsurprised. She found it perfectly natural.
Zhou Yan was on the verge of laughter.
âZishan and Jianan havenât eaten either, right? Iâll make some chicken noodle soup for you.â âThank you, Auntie.â
âThank you, Auntie Zhou.â
Song Zishan and Lu Jianan thanked her quickly.
âWhy so polite? Xiaoxiao went too far. Iâm just glad youâre not holding it against him.â Criticizing her son first was always the right approach.
Xu Huihui was defensive.
She didnât want her cousin criticized. Though young, she wasnât naive. Those people at the restaurant had ill intentions, so her cousin had every right to be angry.
They deserved the scolding.
Had it not been for Song Zishan and Lu Jianan being her childhood friends, she might have scolded them too. It was all their fault. Why suddenly mention Professor Su?
Xu Huihui began to wonder why Song Zishan had decided to attend the banquet. She didnât expect it was for Professor Suâs daughter.
âAuntie, donât say that. Cousin didnât do anything wrong.â
Zhou Yan chuckled, gesturing for Song Zishan and Lu Jianan to sit, nodding fondly at Xu Huihui. âYouâre the only one who knows how to handle Xiaoxiao.â âWho says that? My sisters all think that Cousin is amazing.â
Xu Huihui wasnât exaggerating. While her friendsâ daughters might fear Xu
Xiaoxiao, within the Xu family, he was seen as an exemplary brother. Xu Huihui was one of his most ardent fans, despite his disdain for her childishness and reluctance to play with her.
Lu Jianan subtly assessed Xu Huihui and Zhou Yan, then whispered in Song Zishanâs ear, âWeâve just offended Xu Huihui.â
Xu Huihui wasnât Zhou Nini. She was smart!
Song Zishan lowered her gaze slightly, a hint of mockery flickering in her eyes. âBy acknowledging Su Xuewenâs daughter as their adopted daughter, the Xu family has embarrassed Songâs family. Who exactly has offended whom?â she said.
Lu Jiananâs expression became complicated.
In truth, Zishan was right!
