Surprise! The little puppy I raised is the heir of a wealthy family

Chapter 184 The rules of the Xiao family?

In the past few days, in order to play this role smoothly, Su Yanqing has been practicing speaking in this way, and almost every sentence has to be carefully considered before she dares to speak out.

Now, there is no trace of any of the characteristics in her voice as before, as if she has become a completely new being.

really!

After hearing this changed voice, the surprise and even panic that had appeared on Su Xiyao's face began to slowly dissipate. Her right hand unconsciously pressed on her chest and patted it twice, muttering to herself, "I was so scared, I thought..."

Su Yanqing suddenly turned her head, stared closely at Su Xiyao in front of her and asked, "What do you think, Miss Su?"

Through the veil, those deep eyes seemed to immediately emanate an extremely cold aura, causing the temperature of the surrounding air to drop a few degrees.

Facing such a sharp look from the other party, Su Xiyao couldn't help but tremble slightly. She finally managed a forced smile and responded, "This lady looks very similar to an old friend of mine."

"is it?"

Hearing this, Su Yanqing did not react immediately. She slowly turned her gaze to Xiao Chuyi, who was standing not far away. At the same time, she said to Su Xiyao, "I wonder which old friend of Miss Su's is this?"

Sensing that something was wrong in the atmosphere, Su Xiyao sneered to hide her embarrassment, and tightened her shawl around her body to resist the invisible chill that was spreading.

"Never mind. She's dead anyway. She was just a short-lived ghost."

"enough!"

At this moment, Xiao Chuyi, who had been silent for a long time, finally couldn't help but coldly interrupted their conversation, turning his head to look at Su Xiyao with an extremely ugly expression.

At this moment, his eyes were filled with anger and dissatisfaction, and he seemed quite dissatisfied with what he had just heard.

Seeing this, Su Xiyao, knowing that she had spoken out of turn, could only reluctantly but helplessly lower her head and quietly defend herself, "I didn't say anything wrong..."

Su Yanqing continued to look at Xiao Chuyi: "Miss Su is so angry, it seems that this old friend has indeed caused Miss Su a lot of trouble. Does Master Xiao know her?"

There was a hint of inquiry in her tone, trying to read something from the other person's eyes.

Xiao Chuyi raised his eyebrows slightly.

Although a familiar feeling surged in his heart, as if certain scenes from the past were trying to flash through his mind, he did not intend to mention his relationship with Su Yanqing in front of everyone.

In order to conceal this delicate feeling, Xiao Chuyi simply avoided the topic casually and said his answer softly but firmly: "I don't know him."

Then, Xiao Chuyi's gaze slowly shifted away from Su Yanqing and turned directly to Chen Jin, who was standing not far away with a somewhat nervous expression.

At this moment, his actions seemed to reveal some decisive information.

He has chosen to no longer care about the woman in front of him.

Su Yanqing just stood there quietly, feeling as if the blood flowing through her body had completely frozen at that moment.

It turned out that the name and story that he remembered deeply in his heart were only worthy of a cold reply from Xiao Chuyi - "I don't know him."

These words were like a sharp knife stabbing into her heart, bringing an indescribable pain.

Ever since she stepped into the door of this hotel, until this moment, Su Yanqing truly realized that the bond that once existed between them had long been broken, and they had become completely unrelated people in two different worlds.

At this time, Xiao Chuyi was completely unaware of the huge blow that Su Yanqing beside him suffered.

His gaze became more and more serious, and finally fixed on Chen Jin's slightly sarcastic smile.

"Master Chen," Xiao Chuyi said, a hint of displeasure evident in his voice, "I heard every word you said to Miss Su just now."

Hearing this, Chen Jin deliberately turned his head and cast a meaningful glance at Su Yanqing, who was still immersed in sadness.

Seeing that the latter remained in that stunned state without moving an inch, Chen Jin did not rush him to react. Instead, he continued to ask Xiao Chuyi leisurely, "Oh? So what if you heard what I said?"

His provocative words were undoubtedly challenging Xiao Chuyi's bottom line.

"From what you just said, it seems that you, Master Chen, have some doubts about Miss Xiyao's true identity."

Faced with such a situation, Xiao Chuyi was not to be outdone and pointed out the core of the problem.

After hearing this, Chen Jin's lips curled up slightly. "I'm afraid you misunderstood. It's not that I have any doubts or interest in Su Xiyao's identity. It's just that I don't take her seriously at all."

Then, he glared at Su Xiyao, who was trying to remain calm but still couldn't hide her anger, and spoke with a strong sense of contempt, "A person like this, no matter what status she claims to have in our Chen family, or whether she has truly grown up to this point as one of our juniors... all of this means nothing to me!"

Chen Jin's words were a blatant insult to Su Xiyao!

Faced with such excessive humiliation, Su Xiyao could no longer control her inner anger. Her cheeks flushed red and she rushed towards Chen Jin angrily, her eyes wide open, as if she wanted to devour him immediately.

If Xiao Chuyi had not stopped her in time, Su Xiyao might have really attacked Chen Jin in public.

Her fists were clenched tightly and her eyes were full of anger, as if she would pounce on the other person as soon as she let go.

Chen Jin was still not satisfied. He openly clicked his tongue twice, looked at Su Xiyao with contempt, and said, "What's wrong? Do you still want to hit someone in public? Is this the manners your Su family has taught you all these years? Oh, no. I heard that Su Xiyao is now living in the Xiao family. So, this is the Xiao family's rule?"

His tone was full of sarcasm, and his eyes flashed with pride and provocation, as if he was waiting for the other party to counterattack.

Chen Jin spoke a lot without restraint, and the people around him were sweating profusely as they listened to him.

They felt a chill rising from the soles of their feet, and couldn't help but worry for Su Xiyao, wondering how this conflict would end.

But he himself looked nonchalant and looked at Xiao Chuyi calmly, obviously wanting to provoke the other party by humiliating Su Xiyao.

There was a hint of a sneer on his face, and there seemed to be a victorious look in his eyes.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Chuyi wasn't angry at all. Instead, he smiled and said, "The rules of the Chen family's second branch are quite good. As the eldest son of the Chen family, his words and actions are like a wild boy from the countryside. This education is really amazing."

Xiao Chuyi's eyes were cold and calm. He looked at Chen Jin for a moment. There was a tense atmosphere between the two of them. The air seemed to be frozen and the atmosphere was on the verge of breaking out.
