C15 It's Meaningless

Su Xiaomi pushed open the door of the room. Before she could walk in, she smelled an unpleasant, damp, moldy smell. Dust flew everywhere in the air.

It seemed that no one had cleaned her room for many days.

Actually she was not surprised. Just from the extent that Su's mother and Su Ziyue hated her, it was not hard for her to imagine how pleased they would be after she left.

Su Xiaomi walked in unhappily. She closed the door and turned on the light.

She saw that all the decorations in the room, including the jacket that she had placed on the sofa, were still there. Everything was fixed on the moment she left.

No matter what, she had finally returned.

Even though the room was full of dust, Su Xiaomi still went to take a shower first before she started to clean the room.

Su Xiaomi cleaned for a while and was tired. She sat on the sofa and touched hard objects the moment she sat down.

She frowned and took the thing out from under her butt. Only then did she realize that it was her phone.

Su Xiaomi pressed the power button. She did not expect the phone to still have electricity. On the screen, there were hundreds of unknown calls. Those were all calls from Shen Jibei without exception.

Feeling touched, she immediately called back, but this time it was Shen Jibei's turn to play hide-and-seek with her. The ringtone had ended from the beginning, but no one answered.

"Is he angry with me?" Su Xiaomi put down her phone first and wiped the table clean. She got up and walked into the bathroom.

She could be very casual in her room. She wore a bathrobe and stepped on the carpet barefooted. Even though there was pain in her ankle from time to time, her heart was still very comfortable.

However, a phone call broke her calm.

When the phone rang, Su Xiaomi subconsciously thought that it must be Shen Jibei calling. She hurriedly walked to the back of the sofa and grabbed the phone.

The result disappointed her. It was just an unfamiliar call.

Su Xiaomi picked up the phone and responded with a relaxed tone. There was no sound from the other end of the phone.

After a while, when she was about to hang up the phone, the person on the other end finally spoke. " It seems that you have already returned home. Your life is not bad. "

This was Ou Mingjue's voice!

Su Xiaomi widened her eyes and her small face was filled with astonishment. She could not believe and was unwilling to believe that the caller was actually Ou Mingjue. How did he know her phone number?

"How did you know my phone number?" Su Xiaomi's voice was trembling as she spoke. She was afraid that she could not hold on and so she simply sat on the back of the sofa and tightly grabbed onto the sofa.

The veins on the back of her hands were pulsing with Ou Mingjue's voice.

This question of hers was not wise. With Ou Mingjue's personality, he would not even bother to answer.

"How difficult do you think it is for me to get your phone number?" Ou Mingjue's voice was still very cold. She almost could not feel Ou Mingjue's emotions.

He was obviously angry!

Su Xiaomi did not ask any more questions. She only felt panic. Ou Mingjue would definitely come and find her.

She pretended to be calm, swallowed her saliva, and carefully probed, "What are you calling for? I think I have nothing to do with you anymore. "

If it wasn't for Ou Mingjue imprisoning her, she would have had nothing to do with Ou Mingjue by now.

But Ou Mingjue wouldn't admit it.

"Is that so?" He was so calm that Su Xiaomi panicked. However, she would rather remain silent than provoke this fierce tiger.

He continued to speak and ordered her in an emotionless tone, "If you are smart, you should quickly return to my side. Otherwise, you will only be at a disadvantage. "

"Thank you for your reminder. I really don't need it anymore. " Su Xiaomi replied with a smile. Once she finished speaking, she hung up the phone. Then she dug out the battery of the phone and pulled out the phone card.

Su Xiaomi threw the phone onto the sofa. She was still very flustered. She did not think that Ou Mingjue would be able to find her!

Just as she was thinking, there was a knock on the door. Mrs. Chen's voice came through the heavy door, "Master is back. He said he wanted to see you. You'd better go down. "

"I know. " Su Xiaomi casually replied. She remembered that she still had something to ask Mrs. Chen and quickly ran to the door. She opened the door and called out to Mrs. Chen through the gap," Mrs. Chen, wait. "

Mrs. Chen immediately stopped and turned to the door, waiting for Su Xiaomi to speak.

"What did Dad say about me when I was not here these few days?" Su Xiaomi said and smiled embarrassedly. She asked this not because she was worried that her father would scold her but because it was convenient for her to deal with her father later.

It was not easy to get along with everyone in Su family.

Mrs. Chen thought for a while and answered truthfully, "Master did not say much about you. He only heard that you did not come home for the past few days. He was worried that you would make Su family lose face outside and his wife and young miss would always whisper in Master's ear that you are a kept woman. "

She knew that Su's mother and Su Ziyue were not good people!

Su Xiaomi suppressed the dissatisfaction in her heart but she still smiled kindly and sent Mrs. Chen away.

She turned her head and closed the door of the room. Only then did she reveal a disappointed expression but she did not want to cry.

In the end, she still cared about Su's father's opinion, but it was a pity that Su's father didn't necessarily care about her.

After changing into clean clothes, Su Xiaomi wrapped her injured ankle with a long handkerchief and limped downstairs. At this time, Su Ziyue's friends had already returned home. The hall was much emptier.

On the right side of the hall downstairs, Su's father was sitting on the sofa drinking tea. Su's mother and Su Ziyue were also there.

Su Xiaomi took a deep breath and walked in front of Su's father and lightly called out, "Dad. "

Su's father looked up at her with a complicated expression but he did not say anything. He stood up and dusted off the dust on his thigh. Then he said, "Since everyone is here, let's eat. "

With that, he strode forward, and the others followed behind him.

Just as he sat down at the dining table, Su's father shifted his gaze to Su Xiaomi. He was expressionless and not as fierce as Ou Mingjue. "Recently, there have been a lot of rumors about you. Do you know?"

Su's father did not look like a tiger, but more like an old fox.

Su Xiaomi nodded. She did not want to pretend that she did not hear it, but she did not want to show weakness. She looked up at her father.

But if she did not say it, there would always be someone who would say it for her.

Before Su's father could continue, Su Ziyue interrupted, "Dad, now everyone is talking about this rumor. "

Su's mother held the embroidered fan that matched the qipao. She leaned against the back of the chair and shook her wrist from time to time, looking like a lady. She said, "If Su Xiaomi did not do it, there would not be such a rumor. "

What she meant was that Su Xiaomi was really a mistress.

Anyway, Su Xiaomi was already used to it and she did not respond. She picked up the knife and fork to eat the meat.

Seeing Su Xiaomi's attitude, Su's father suddenly felt that what Su Ziyue said was not true. He did not blame Su Xiaomi. "We don't need to care about the rumors. It will be good after a while. It will be good when you come back. "

The knife and fork fell on the carpet and made a muffled sound. Su Xiaomi subconsciously looked up to the opposite side and saw Su Ziyue staring at her. Su Ziyue's face was very ferocious at that moment.

After looking at each other for a while, Su Xiaomi smiled politely but in her heart, she was mocking.

When the maid came over to replace the knife and fork, Su Ziyue said, "Dad, even if it is a rumor, it will also affect the image of Su family. Our family is not a lowly family, how can we not pay attention to these?"

Su's father paused. He had to think about this problem.

"I know. " He responded in a deep voice and turned to look at Su Xiaomi. His expression became colder. "Then how do you plan to explain it? I will publish another article. "

Su Xiaomi put down the knife and fork and turned to pick up the red wine cup to drink a mouthful. Her movements were elegant.

The wine red liquid rotated in the cup. The yellow light made the utensils sparkle. Su Xiaomi's expression was somewhat absent-minded. She did not even know what the meaning of coming back here was.

After a while, she found a suitable response, "I am not a well-known person. It is better not to waste time. "

"You're shameless! Your identity has already made you infamous!" Su Ziyue quickly snatched the right to speak. Her tone was very harsh.

She was anxious and Su Xiaomi was also angry.

Su Xiaomi suddenly put the cup on the table and sneered, "Sister, let's discuss this matter. Don't scold me. "

Su Xiaomi was clearly very angry but she could not refute because she was the child of her father's mistress!

"Then let's discuss the matter of you being kept by someone. You have disappeared for so many days. I don't believe that you are not with a man. " Su Ziyue did not want to be outdone. She had an arrogant look on her face.

Su Xiaomi still wanted to say something to explain but she knew that she did not have the right to speak in this family.

She simply threw the decision to Su's father. She turned her head and smiled at her father but there was a cold look on her face, "I see that there is no use in explaining. Why don't you make the decision, father. You decide my fate. "

Just as she finished speaking, Su's mother and Su Ziyue laughed at the same time.

Didn't she walk into the trap herself?

However, the result was unexpected. Su's father did not hesitate and directly replied, "I think this matter will not have much of an impact. You don't need to mind so much. You can stay. "

In fact, Su's father was just feeling guilty. He felt guilty towards the dead Su Xiaomi's mother. Su Xiaomi did not know, and Su's mother and Su Ziyue were even more unable to understand him.
