As soon as the opening ceremony was over, Su Rou went home. When Nanny Wang saw Su Rou at home, instead of asking why she wasn't at school, she asked worriedly, "Miss, are you feeling unwell? Or did you get hurt somewhere?" Ever since Nanny Wang was hired as the housekeeper, she knew that the young master doted on this young miss the most. He would indulge her in everything. Even if she didn't go to class, what did it matter? The most important thing was the young miss's health!
Su Rou flashed a cute, sweet smile. "Don't worry, Nanny Wang. I'm fine. It was the opening ceremony today, so there were no classes. That's why I came home."
Nanny Wang heaved a sigh of relief. "As long as you're okay, miss. By the way, are you hungry? What would you like to eat? I'll cook it for you." Although the young master had a good temper, when it came to his precious younger sister, his good temper would disappear. If she wanted to keep working in this villa, taking good care of the young miss was her top priority.
"Oh, I'm not hungry. Go ahead and do your work, Nanny Wang." Su Rou waved her hand, then took a bottle of drink from the fridge and sat on the sofa watching TV.
At around five in the evening, Su Yuze came home from work. Pushing open the door, he saw a little figure sound asleep on the sofa, hugging a pillow. Although it wasn't autumn yet, sleeping on the sofa like this could easily make one catch a cold.
Su Yuze walked over and picked up the thin blanket beside the sofa, intending to cover her with it. But as he approached, a smile appeared on his androgynous face. Su Rou on the sofa curled up her small body. Her long, natural curly hair was spread out on the sofa. Her little face was flushed from sleep, and a trace of saliva was faintly visible beside her small cherry lips.
Nanny Wang was cooking dinner. Just as she saw Su Yuze come home, she greeted him, "Young master, you're back. Dinner will be ready in a while."
Su Yuze admired his younger sister's cute sleeping appearance and just nodded faintly in response. Then, as if thinking of something, he asked, "Is she feeling unwell?" Otherwise, why would she come back so early and seem to have slept for quite a while?
Nanny Wang didn't dare to be negligent and immediately explained, "The young miss said that since it was the opening ceremony today and there were no classes, she came back early. She's in good health."
"Okay." Su Yuze was relieved. As long as the little one was okay.
Suddenly, his phone rang. Su Yuze took out his phone and walked aside to answer it, so as not to wake up the sleeping Su Rou. "Grandpa?"
The caller was Old Master Su Rongqi. "Yuze, come for a family dinner at the Su Mansion today."
Su Yuze raised his eyebrows. "Why?"
"Hehe, aren't the two Su girls in No. 1 Middle School now? It's time for the family to get together. Besides... you two siblings haven't been to the Su Mansion for three years." After Su Rongqi handed over the position of the family head to Su Yuze, he moved to the Su Mansion in the suburbs and planned to spend his remaining years in peace. However, he would occasionally invite the Su family members to gather at the mansion. Su Yuze and Su Rou, these two siblings who had "separated from the family" ten years ago, hadn't been there for a long time.
Su Yuze lowered his eyes and pondered for a while, then said, "Okay, we'll go there later."
"Good. We've prepared your favorite dishes at home."
After hanging up the phone, Su Yuze said to Nanny Wang who was still busy in the kitchen, "Nanny Wang, don't prepare dinner for us. Xiaorou and I will go out to eat."
Nanny Wang was a bit surprised. "Um, but..." She had already cooked half of it. "Why did you suddenly decide to go out to eat?"
"Yeah, we're going to the Su Mansion." Su Yuze said calmly, then walked back to the sofa and gently woke up the sleeping Su Rou. "Xiaorou, wake up. Get up." Only when facing Su Rou would Su Yuze's usually cold face turn gentle.
Su Rou was woken up. She opened her eyes hazily and saw a handsome face up close. She propped herself up and rubbed her eyes, asking sleepily, "Brother Ze, you're back. Is it time for dinner?"
"Yeah, it's time for dinner. We're going to the Su Mansion."
"Ah?" Su Rou's eyes widened a bit. Her round eyes looked at Su Yuze in surprise. Her dazed and cute look amused Su Yuze. He let out a soft laugh and patiently told her about the phone call just now. "Ah, another gathering!" How annoying. Except for Brother Ze, she didn't like any of the Su family members at all.
"What do you mean 'another'? The last time we had a family dinner was three years ago... Come on, get up and get ready. Let's go." Although Su Yuze didn't like going back to the Su family either, they, as juniors, still had to obey Old Master Su's words.
Driving the somewhat reluctant Su Rou, they arrived at the Su Mansion. When they entered, they found that the families of Su Kaiming and Su Yue were already there and sitting at the dinner table. It seemed that they were just waiting for the two of them. Su Yuze led Su Rou to greet the elders one by one. Su Rou greeted them very obediently. When it came to Su Meimei, Su Meimei responded coldly and then continued eating the food in front of her. Su Rou didn't care. Anyway, she didn't like Su Meimei at all. "Why aren't Brother Hongyu and Brother Ziqi here?"
"Hongyu is undergoing training abroad. He'll take over the Su Corporation in the future. As for Ziqi... Humph, that brat is always fooling around and doesn't even come to the family dinner." When Su Rongqi mentioned Su Ziqi, his face was full of dissatisfaction.
But Old Master Su's words made Su Kaiming and Liu Rulan extremely happy. However, for Su Yue's family, it was like a heavy blow. Wei Xinyi was Su Yue's wife. Although she wasn't as good - looking as Liu Rulan, she had good manners. Hearing Old Master Su's words, she said, "Dad, Ziqi is in his senior year of high school. He's very busy with his studies. He didn't mean not to come."
Su Rongqi looked at Wei Xinyi. "Well, I'll be waiting to see which good university he gets into next year." He raised his red - wine glass. "Today is mainly to celebrate our two girls getting into No. 1 Middle School. Grandpa hopes that you two will study hard. The two girls are still minors, so don't drink."
"Thank you, Grandpa." Su Rou and Su Meimei obediently raised their glasses.
"The two of you should take care of each other at school."
"Sure, I'll definitely get along well with my younger sister." Su Meimei winked suggestively and looked at Su Rou.
Su Rou looked at Su Meimei, who was obviously insincere, and replied with a sweet smile in a tactful way, "I'll also get along well with Sister Meimei."
Out of the corner of his eye, Su Yuze was watching Su Meimei, hoping that she really meant to get along well with Xiaorou!
