Su Qiao An had just returned home to shower and lie on his bed with his eyes closed. He received a call from Song Cheng, from the way Song Cheng said it, it seemed like Zhu Shixiong had something to announce, and wanted her to quickly return home.

As for the specifics, Song Cheng did not say them explicitly, he only told her to hurry back as soon as possible.

With no other choice, Su Qiao An who had just laid down to rest could only wake up and tidy up.

When she was changing clothes, she suddenly thought of Zhu Jiangci's words, "Don't you feel embarrassed?

The fingers holding the black and white suit tightened and his joints became green.

Forget it, Zuo Zuo only had twenty days left for their relationship to end, and maybe she wouldn't need to attend the next family dinner as the second young mistress of the Chu Family.

She looked at the calendar with a red circle drawn on it. She counted and found that she and Zhu Jiangci only had twenty-five days left before their marriage ended, so there was no need to make things difficult for him.

Then, just treat it as the last time, the last time to return to Chu Family as Zhu Jiangci's wife.

She gave up on Old Earth's professional suit, squatted down, and pulled open the bottom drawer of the wardrobe. She took out a dress from the bottom drawer and changed into it.

After the incident at the banquet last time, she had already learned to be a good girl and purposely went to a shop with glasses and contact lenses.

She had just put it on and her glasses were astringent. It still hurt a little and she was not used to it.

Closing her eyes, she waited for the pain to subside before opening her eyes.

It wasn't that she didn't put on makeup, but that most of the time, those glasses covered most of her face. If others couldn't see, she wouldn't need to put anything on her face.

Sitting in front of the makeup table, Su Qiao An methodically applied makeup.

When she finished doing it slowly, the driver that Song Cheng arranged to bring her back to her house had also arrived.

She went downstairs and got in the car to pick her up.

"Uncle Zhong, do you know why Dad suddenly wants us to go back?" Su Qiao An asked softly.

Uncle Zhong, who was driving, smiled kindly at the person in the mirror, "Second Young Madam, I'm not sure about this either. We won't ask too much about the master's matters. You'll know when you get home."

Su Qiao An made a low grunt of assent, and silently sighed in his heart. She knew that this would be the result, and either Uncle Zhong didn't know, or was pretending to be stupid.

Their words were tight, and even if they asked, they wouldn't be able to get anything out of them. What Zhu Shixiong didn't allow them to say, they wouldn't reveal a single word.

The electronic control door slowly opened, the car entered the Chu residence and stopped in front of the fountain.

Su Qiao An got off the carriage, and through the fountain, he looked at the majestic villa behind him. Sighing lightly, he walked in.

Everyone in the Chu Family knew how to enjoy themselves. The place they were staying at was quiet and elegant. It was her first time in the Chu Family, and like Grandma Liu entering the Great View Garden, she felt a sense of novelty towards everything.

Thinking about it now, from that time onwards, the people of Chu Family would probably feel disdain towards her, their inferior person in their hearts, right?

She really didn't like the atmosphere of the Chu Family, and she didn't like the people of the Chu Family either.

No matter how nice Zhu Shixiong was to her, she would never truly like this family.

Her initial enthusiasm had been worn out by the passing of time. Now, she couldn't even warm herself, much less try to warm her cold heart.

Su Qiao An did not enter the house and strolled around the garden by himself.

She knew that Zhu Shixiong had someone to plant a Rose Garden alone, they were not allowed to pick nor be trampled on. Even if the flower had withered and fallen, they were not allowed to clear it.

It was like this every year, raising a rose garden, waiting for it to wither and fall off naturally.

Su Qiao An walked along a faint path, the air filled with the rich fragrance of roses.

The elegant figure gradually became clearer after passing through the red and blazing rose garden.

The man under the locust tree sat on the swing, his toes lightly touching the ground. He gently swayed as his skirt drew a slight arc in the air.

It was May. The sun was blazing as the roses bloomed passionately. The locust flowers also quietly bloomed.

As the wind blew past, the white flowers, one after another, swayed in the wind. It was very elegant, and a burst of delicate fragrance assaulted the nostrils.

Just as Su Qiao An was thinking about this matter, she suddenly heard a loud sound. She was stunned for a moment, then raised her eyes and saw that there was an additional person in front of his.

She wore a blue dress that matched her fair skin. Her black hair fell vertically onto her back, and a few strands of black hair fell onto her shoulders. Her eyebrows were clear, and her lips seemed as if they were about to burst.

Zhu Tianze smiled warmly and asked, "Are you second brother's wife?"

"..." Second brother?

Su Qiao An suspiciously sized up the man in front of him. Light grey cotton T, casual pants, and casual bean shoes.

All the Chu Family people that she saw were well-made and had a reserved appearance. It was rare for them to be wearing such simple and casual clothes.

Also … Who was the second brother that he called out?

"I forgot." Zhu Tianze said with a smile, "You probably don't know me. I just returned to my country, so I'm Chu Family's youngest son, Zhu Tianze.

Zhu Jiangci still had a brother? It was never mentioned.

Su Qiao An's face was calm, but a violent wave had already been set off in the bottom of his heart.

He then casually stood up and greeted Zhu Tianze in a polite yet distant manner, "Hello, I'm Su Qiao An."

The smile on Zhu Tianze's face became even wider. "Un, I know you, so Dad often talks about you. Su Qiao An, Lawyer Su, right?"

"Mn." Su Qiao An could not handle her brother-in-law who had suddenly appeared. He did not know what kind of attitude he should use to deal with him.

They had originally wanted to hide outside, but who would have thought that they would run into a brother-in-law who had never appeared in Chu Family before?

Su Qiao An had originally wanted to find an excuse to leave, but as he was distracted, he did not notice Zhu Tianze moving closer to him.

When she finally reacted, she raised her head and coincidentally, the tip of her nose was only a few centimeters away from the other party's chin.

Zhu Tianze raised his hand to remove the fallen leaves that were stuck on her hair. He then placed it on his palm, "Look, there's something on your hair."

Su Qiao An was not used to being so close to other men. He also realized that it was not good to be so close to this brother-in-law who appeared out of nowhere in such a quiet place.

His actions were undoubtedly too casual, and were extremely familiar with each other. This made Su Qiao An very uncomfortable, and his heart was displeased. His thin eyebrows knitted together, and he took a step back.

Zhu Tianze embraced his slim waist and asked with concern, "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine …" She replied with an unnatural tone.

"What are you doing!" Just as she was about to push Zhu Tianze away, the cold and gloomy voice of a man sounded from behind her, shocking her to the point that her body stiffened and her hair stood on end.
