“Xiao… Xiao… Xiao Chen!”

The girl couldn’t help but widen her beautiful eyes. Her face was shocked. Xiao Chen replied indifferently.

“It’s been a while.”

“You… You’re not dead?”

“Do you want me to be dead?”

“No… I…”

The girl stopped talking. Su Ruoxue came out of the room, somewhat curious.

“Huh? Xiao Wan, you know him?”

“We…”

Xiao Wan was having trouble finding words, but Xiao Chen responded curtly.

“We could be considered cousins.”

“What a coincidence!”

Su Ruoxue was surprised, but she seemed to understand what was happening.

Xiao Chen and Xiao Wan had the same last name and were both from Jiangbei. It wasn’t strange they were related.

“I didn’t think you guys were cousins. Xiao Wan, come in. Let me see that contract!”

“Oh! Okay!”

Xiao Wan entered the villa and handed the contract to Su Ruoxue. Su Ruoxue glanced it over, crinkling her brows.

“There’s something wrong with this cost! Xiao Wan, take a seat. I’m going to call and ask the insurance company.”

“Okay.”

Su Ruoxue left the villa and headed into her car to make the call.

After all, this was a business matter, which required some privacy.

Seeing Su Ruoxue leave, Xiao Wan felt the awkward air in the room.

Xiao Chen didn’t think much of it and headed back to the dining table to feed his daughter. Xiao Ziyi continued to eat without a care in the world, her big eyes gazing at the strange lady that had just entered their house.

After a while, Xiao Wan finally sat on the sofa and silently said:

“You… When did you come back?”

“Is that any of your business?”

Xiao Chen’s words made Xiao Wan sullen, but she suppressed the discomfort and started again:

“I apologize on behalf of my dad for what happened that year. My father and third uncle didn’t expect Lu Qiran to be so cruel! At that time, they didn’t dare to upset him either.”

Xiao Chen fed Ziyi a mouthful of congee and stared at Xiao Wan from his seat.

“If… I kill your parents and break your limbs and toss you into the Yangtze, you… would still be as calm as this?”

Xiao Wan snorted.

“It’s for your own good! My dad and third uncle are different people from what they were five years ago! So if you want to oppose him and the rest of our family, you won’t have a good end. And they won’t show mercy this time either!”

“Don’t trouble me, then!”

Xiao Wan pursed her lips and snappily said:

“Your temper is still as sour as always! No, it’s even worse than before! But I don’t care about anything else. As for Su Ruoxue, I will warn you to stay away from her. If you were Xiao Chen from five years ago, you might have had a shot to date CEO Su! But now, you’re no longer the young master of the Xiao family. You don’t have any money or power. You simply can’t be with her!”

Xiao Chen didn’t have a chance to speak before Xiao Wan continued.

“Let me tell you the truth. There are countless men in Jiangbei who want to date CEO Su! And out of these men, several are very recognized individuals! Although they cannot compare to Lu Qiran, but… you aren’t on their level! If you don’t want to repeat the catastrophe from five years ago, I beg you. Please look at yourself and understand your status. Give up trying to date Su Ruoxue if you just want your old status! Your family is already in the past.”

Xiao Chen put down the cutlery and picked up a tissue to wipe Xiao Ziyi’s mouth. He then picked up Ziyi and headed upstairs. He was simply too lazy to acknowledge Xiao Wan.

“You speak too much nonsense. We have to rest now. You can just get the hell out.”

“And tell your dad and the others, I will be at grandpa’s birthday to settle the debts from five years ago!”

Xiao Wan shook her head.

“What an absolutely stubborn guy!”

She left the villa and approached Su Ruoxue.

“CEO Su, how’s it going?”

“I’ve already negotiated with the insurance company and found a different package. The information has been sent to your mailbox. You should go back and print a new contract and immediately send it to them!”

“Yes, CEO Su!”

However, Xiao Wan did not leave right away. She remained in place, as if she was itching to talk.

“What’s wrong?”

Su Ruoxue could feel something was wrong with Xiao Wan. she couldn’t help but ask. Xiao Wan began to speak.

“CEO Su, are you close with that Xiao Chen guy?”

Su Ruoxue was even more puzzled.

“A little bit. He just moved in several days ago. What’s going on?”

Xiao Wan responded again:

“It seems like he didn’t tell you who he is! CEO Su, I beg you, stay as far away from him as possible!”

Seeing Su Ruoxue’s expression turned sour. Xiao Wan immediately explained:

“CEO Su, this is for your own good! You should know about the tragedy that happened in Jiangbei five years ago. A man offended the Lu family, a powerful family from Beijing, by marrying a woman. That person was Xiao Chen! Although I don’t know how he’s all healed now, you can’t get too close to him! He’s too dangerous! Moreover, even if the Lu family has already forgotten him and won’t give him trouble, he’s already lost everything. He’s not good enough for you!”

Su Ruoxue’s expression turned icy.

“Xiao Wan, is that what you wanted to say to me?”

Xiao Wan was stunned.

“CEO Su, do you think I’m lying to you? If you send someone to investigate this matter, it will be clear. Everything I’m saying…”

“That’s enough!”

Before she could finish, Su Ruoxue interrupted her sharply.

“Xiao Wan, you’ve always been a capable worker, but today I realized how truly disgusting you are!”

“That time, if it weren’t for you and your third uncle’s dirty schemes, Xiao Chen’s family wouldn’t have suffered so much! Now that he’s finally back, you won’t think about how to help him but are even slandering him behind his back. From today, you are no longer an employee of mine. Go back immediately and pack up your stuff. Go home!”

Xiao Wan felt as if she’d just been struck by lightning. She staggered backward, her face turning pale.

“CEO Su… You… You’re going to fire me because of him?”

“That’s right. Xiao Chen is my friend, and you shouldn’t slander him. Even if he was harmed by the Lu family, even if he has nothing, it doesn’t mean he is a lowly person. Go, I don’t ever want to hear any of your nonsense again!”

Su Ruoxue immediately entered Xiao Chen’s villa and slammed the door shut.

This made Xiao Wan fume with anger as she clenched her teeth and her fists. Her eyes were full of resentment.

“Su Ruoxue, you dare treat me like that because of a scum like Xiao Chen! Just you wait. I won’t give up so easily.”

She picked up her phone and dialed a number.

“Hello, is this Secretary Wang? I’m Xiao Wan, Miss Su’s secretary. I want to speak to Chairman Su. Does Chairman Su have time?”

　　…

“Yes, yes, yes… It has to do with Miss Su!”

　　…

“Okay, okay. I’ll be over right away.”
