Su Xiaonai sensitive enough to note the threatening tone in Ji Anren’s words. She felt conflicted.

She turned away and stepped back, putting some distance between them.

She would have to rely on herself. She couldn’t let herself be passive.

Soon, they reached the 21st floor, but Ji Anren didn’t leave the elevator right away. Instead, he turned around and glanced at Su Xiaonai.

“Do you want to come in?”

Su Xiaonai was speechless.

She would not enter his apartment where he could flirt with her however he wanted. Then it would be too late to leave.

Su Xiaonai smiled and waved him off.

“No need. Mubei and Mubai would be looking for me.”

Ji Anren could only give up and shake his head in disappointment.

“Fine.”

Su Xiaonai nodded and quickly pressed the button for the 20th floor. She was afraid that she would have to spend another second with Ji Anren.

‘When she got home, she found that Su Mubei and Su Mubai were not playing chess but watching TV attentively.

‘The old lady had long noticed the sound of the entryway. She turned around and looked at Su Xiaonai.

“How was it?”

Su Xiaonai was confused. She had no idea what the old lady was talking about.

“What?”

‘The old lady sighed and stopped beating around the bush.

“Did Ji Anren say anything when you sent him away?”

At the mention of this, Su Xiaonai recalled Ji Anren flirting with her. Goosebumps rose all over her body and her expression stiffened.

“Nothing, haha.”

The old lady was a smart person. She could tell that Su Xiaonai was hiding something, and she noticed the trace of emotion on her face. She heaved a sigh of relief.

It seemed that Su Xiaonai didn’t really like Ji Anren. That couldn’t be better. Her grandson Qi Lingyan still had a chance!

Su Xiaonai walked to the couch and watched the TV for a while before taking out her phone.

Su Xiaonai thought for a moment and finally opened her chat with her stepsister.

Su Xiaonai: Are you free tomorrow? We need to talk.

The other person did not reply immediately. Instead, she waited for about two to three minutes before Su Jiaojiao replied.

Su Jiaojiao: About what?

Su Xiaonai: About the company’s acquisition.

On the other side, when Su Jiaojiao saw this message, she thought that Su Xiaonai’s brain had been fried to reach out to her.

Unbelievable.

Su Jiaojiao: No. Who are you to me that I should listen to you?

Su Xiaonai had already guessed Su Jiaojiao’s reaction. Since playing nice didn’t get her anywhere, she stopped.

Su Xiaonai: Sure. I’ll upload your embarrassing video online right now then.

Su Xiaonai: Any publicity is good publicity for you, no? Don’t worry, you’re so thick-skinned that you probably won’t feel awkward walking down the street.

Su Jiaojiao could not help but grip her phone tightly. Her eyes were filled with fury as she jumped up from her chair, looking rather exasperated.

Su Jiaojiao: Fine, Su Xiaonai, fair play. I’ll go. Just you wait.

Su Xiaonai smiled as she looked at her satisfactory answer. She didn’t care about Su Jiaojiao’s feelings at all.

Su Xiaonai: I’ll be waiting for you. The place is Chang Hua Hotel, room 930. 7 pm. See you there.

After typing, Su Xiaonai immediately put down her phone and checked the time on her watch. It was getting late, and she should make dinner.

Suddenly, someone’s stomach growled. Su Xiaonai looked toward the source of the sound. It was Su Mubai.

Su Xiaonai smiled indulgently.

“are you this hungry? Didn’t you just finish your fruit?”

Su Mubai felt a little awkward. Why was she always the one making a fool of herself? It was simply too embarrassing.

“Mommy, don’t blame that on me. I’m so hungry now because I need the nutrition for growing.”

Su Mubei listened to Su Mubai’s serious nonsense and secretly admired her talking skill.

It took some skill to lie without batting an eye.

Su Xiaonai didn’t expose Su Mubai’s lie either. She pretended to agree with her and nodded, then asked,

“What do you want to eat today then, Mubai?”

Su Mubai rolled her eyes and got her answer.

“Tomato scrambled eggs.”

Su Xiaonai didn’t expect Su Mubai’s request to be so simple. She was a little puzzled and asked again.

“What about meat dishes?”

Su Mubai covered her face with her little hand and pondered for a moment. She couldn’t think of any, so she turned her head to look at Su Mubei for help.

“Mubei can order. I don’t know what I want.”

Hearing his sister ask him for help, he felt obligated to answer for her. He didn’t think much about it and said,

“Curry beef!”

Su Mubai heard those words, and her eyes sparkled. She thought about curry beef and swallowed.

It had been a long time since she had curry beef.

Su Xiaonai nodded, indicating that she had received their request. She then turned to look at the old lady. She couldn’t forget about her.

“Ma’am, what do you want to eat?”

‘The old lady didn’t expect Su Xiaonai to ask. She was surprised for a second before she realized what was going on.

“Whatever that I can chew. I’m not picky.”

Su Xiaonai nodded. She immediately decided on a few dishes in her mind: tomato scrambled eggs, curry beef, sour cabbage, and some vegetable soup.

After making up her mind, Su Xiaonai prepared to go to the supermarket downstairs to get groceries. Su Mubai raised her hand, indicating that she wanted to go too.

Su Xiaonai nodded and approved.

Su Mubei, on the other hand, did not want to go. He wanted to go back to his room to rest. He was really too tired today.

After the mother and daughter duo arrived at the supermarket, they pushed the shopping cart through the vegetable and meat areas. The two of them were simply too good-looking.

Instantly, they attracted the attention of quite a few people. Su Mubai didn’t act reserved and instead seemed very relaxed.

Su Xiaonai, on the other hand, didn’t mind as long as no one came over to strike up a conversation.

After Su Mubai took the half-cooked curry pieces and put them into the cart, she walked quickly to the vegetable section and stood in front of the cabbage cabinet, hesitating for a long time.

Su Xiaonai took the beef she needed, and she saw Su Mubai standing there. Puzzled, she walked over.

“What is it?”

Su Mubai looked up at Su Xiaonai and admitted honestly.

“I don’t know how to pick vegetables.”

Su Xiaonai smiled. The next second, she picked out a few good ones from the cabinet filled with cabbage and said to Su Mubai.

“Look at these. Do they not have rotten leaves?”

Su Mubai looked at it carefully and nodded.

Su Xiaonai said, “That’s right. As long as there aren’t any rotten leaves, you can pretty much put them into the shopping cart. Picking vegetables is pretty easy.”

Su Mubai pointed at the crown daisies next to the cabbages and asked.

“What about this one?”
