Xiao Luo's body was covered with a big towel, and his injured ribs had not completely healed.
When he stood up, his chest would ache dully.
His face was pale, and his dark flaxen hair was dripping with water, covering his eyes.
But Xiao Yu kept reprimanding him harshly, "You just came out of the hospital, and you made yourself like this! Why did you fall into the pool without any reason?! "
His voice was stern, as if he were reprimanding a child who deliberately made trouble.
The guests around were all silent.
Only the little maid beside Xiao Luo retorted in a low voice with some fear, "Little Childe Xiao didn't want to fall into the water … Here … Someone pushed Little Childe Xiao's wheelchair …"
The little maid's voice was as thin as a mosquito.
Several guests around heard it, but they did not testify for the little maid.
Instead, Xiao Luo persuaded Xiao Yu with the air of a peacemaker, "Second brother, calm down. Xiao Luo is young and insensible. Don't blame him."
After that, he also ordered the two maids behind him, "Go and help Little Childe Xiao upstairs to change into dry clothes."
The anger on Xiao Yu's face still did not subside. He stared at Xiao Luo with disappointment, "This child has no father to educate him since he was a child. As his uncle, I taught him a lesson, but he hated me and spread some rumors outside, ruining the reputation of our Xiao Family for no reason."
Xiao Liang sighed, but he still persuaded Xiao Yu, "Second brother, don't care about this child. My elder brother died early, and the old master spoiled him too much. It's not his fault."
"In this Harbor City, there are many children who are spoiled by their elders. Why haven't I seen one as insensible as him?" The more Xiao Yu said, the more angry he became. He almost began to pour out his grievances to the guests around him, "Since the day this child was taken back to Xiao Family, his third uncle and I have taken care of him well. But I don't know where he got acquainted with some good-for-nothings. He didn't have a reunion dinner with his family during the New Year's Day and just went out to hang around with those scoundrels. He suffered losses and was injured, and even put the blame on his own family."
The more Xiao Yu said, the angrier he became. His chest heaved up and down violently, as if he had been greatly wronged.
The guests around them all had a rough idea of the things that could not be said in the upper class.
Now, the real power of Xiao Family was not Little Master Xiao at present, but Xiao Yu and Xiao Liang in front of them.
Even if Xiao Yu and Xiao Liang really hired killers to kill this young master, the guests who were calculating the gains and losses would stand on the side of Xiao Yu and Xiao Liang and be willing to listen to their nonsense.
In this business world, in this huge network, whoever was useful naturally had to lean on that person's side.
They wouldn't even spare a glance at a useless person, let alone speak up for him.
The guests came forward to persuade Xiao Yu.
"Mr. Xiao, there are too many insensible children nowadays. Just discipline a child like Young Master Xiao strictly in the future."
"Yes, Mr. Xiao, for the sake of Young Master Xiao, you can send Young Master Xiao to study abroad."
"Yes, staying in Harbor City, Little Childe Xiao might feel bored, so he made so many things."
"Kids these days are so awkward. They don't tell you directly if they want to go abroad. They have to do something to attract their parents' attention."
"That's right, that's right."
The guests went to persuade Xiao Yu to calm down happily.
Xiao Liang also took the opportunity to talk with the guests about the cooperation between the two families.
Xiao Luo, who turned his back to them, had a stiff back.
The guests watched as Feng Shengtuo approached his two uncles without distinguishing between right and wrong.
The little maid also felt sorry for this young master and persuaded him in a low voice, "Little Childe Xiao, let's go upstairs to change clothes. Are you cold?"
Xiao Luo's head drooped lower. He lifted his feet and walked forward with the little maid.
He was cold. He was really cold.
The world was really cruel.
It was clear that he had a blood relationship with these two uncles, but why did these two uncles want to kill him?
When those wounds were added to his body, didn't that scar have the power to kill him?
It was clear that everyone in Harbor City knew that his two uncles wanted to kill him.
But these people could stand beside his two uncles with a smile and say that he was useless and a scourge.
The world was really chilling.
He slowly went upstairs, and his back was lonely and lonely.
He was so thin that he seemed to become a shadow in the darkness.
The meaning of desolation came out gradually.
Lu Xia, who had been looking at him behind for a long time, held the goblet with her fingers. The red wine in the goblet was like blood with a confusing color.
There was no change in her expression.
Chu Mochen next to her saw that her fingertips slightly clenched the goblet.
Then, she raised her head and drank up the red wine in the goblet.
"Even if everyone stands on the side of Xiao Yu and Xiao Liang, Miss Lu, do you think this little childe can make a comeback?"
He asked.
Lu Xia's cold and sharp eyes drifted over Xiao Yu and Xiao Liang, who were surrounded by guests and chatting and laughing. She put the goblet on the waiter's tray, and her cold voice was intriguing, "When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter."
…
Song Yunxuan's ice blue evening dress had been soaked and somewhat torn.
After changing the evening dress, the housekeeper of Xiao Family, who was going to take it for dry cleaning, pretended to be distressed.
"Such a good evening dress was actually torn."
Song Yunxuan smiled faintly and shook her long hair that was dried with a towel. She smiled faintly, "It happened suddenly. The fishtail skirt is not suitable for swimming. I scratched it with a brooch and tore it."
The housekeeper was a little embarrassed, "Miss Song's reaction is really fast."
Song Yunxuan sneered in her heart, but her words were not forgiving, "Your little childe was injured. If he had been a little late, I am afraid his life would have been in danger."
The housekeeper also showed an expression of lingering fear, "There are also people in our family who are good at swimming, but Little Childe was too careless. Fortunately, Miss Song rescued him. On behalf of Xiao Family, I thank Miss Song for saving our little childe's life."
"That's not necessary. It's just a piece of cake. You don't have to be too polite."
Hearing Song Yunxuan's words, the housekeeper did not say anything else. She took the torn evening dress out for dry cleaning for Song Yunxuan.
Song Yunxuan opened the gift box with the spare evening dress and found that there was a silver-gray small dress inside.
The small dress was made of exquisite materials, and the design was elegant.
The sleeveless backless dress could show the beautiful skin and figure. The diamond-studded round collar around the neck was not too exposed. The chest made of the fabric of the organza was woven with small diamonds. Under the light, the diamonds were shining.
Under the slender waist was an irregular multi-layered skirt with trailing tails. The design of the skirt and trailing tails was light and luxurious, revealing a kind of grace and silent nobility.
The crystal high-heeled shoes of the same color and the diamond hairpin that could gracefully tie up the long hair were also valuable.
After she was properly dressed, she looked at herself in the mirror and felt that this evening dress was simply chosen for her by someone with great efforts.
However, obviously, Xiao Yu and Xiao Liang would not do such a boring thing.
So, who prepared this evening dress?
She pushed open the door of the VIP room and happened to see that in the corridor not far away, the little maid beside Xiao Luo was clenching her hands and pacing back and forth.
Song Yunxuan opened the door and came out, which startled the little maid.
The little maid turned her head and saw her at once.
"Miss Song!"
The little maid's eyes lit up, and she walked quickly as if she saw a life-saving straw.
"Miss Song, it's great that you can be here."
Song Yunxuan was a little confused. "What's the matter?"
"Little Childe Xiao …" The little maid raised her hand and pointed to the door of the room where she had just paced back and forth. "Little Childe Xiao didn't listen to my advice. He refused to go down no matter what."
"He is in that room?"
"Yes." The little maid still wanted to say something.
But Song Yunxuan had already walked over there with the sound of high-heeled shoes on the floor. "I'll go and have a look."
The little maid followed Song Yunxuan closely.
When Song Yunxuan arrived at the door, she thought that it would be a tightly locked door. But when she raised her hand and pushed the door, she found that the door was actually unlocked.
The door was pushed open a crack.
Inside, a teenager was sitting on the sofa with his back to the door. His back was slightly bent. He was wearing a big towel and seemed to be holding something in his hand.
As soon as Song Yunxuan pushed the door, he heard the voice and drove her away in a bad tone. "Get out!"
"Little Childe Xiao, I …" The little maid wanted to say something.
But Xiao Luo suddenly snapped, "Get out!"
His temper suddenly became irritable.
After being scolded like this, the little maid immediately shut her mouth. She felt wronged and her eyes were filled with a layer of tears.
Song Yunxuan turned sideways and gave the little maid a look. "You can leave first."
The little maid nodded and left. Song Yunxuan entered the room and closed the door with a click.
Xiao Luo looked at her fiercely with red eyes. It seemed that he was going to scold her out.
But at the moment when he saw Song Yunxuan, all his words were choked in his throat.
"Yunxuan, why … why are you here …"
He was at a loss.
Song Yunxuan keenly saw that he was holding a photo in his hand.
Xiao Luo noticed that Song Yunxuan's eyes were on the photo in his hand. He immediately hid the photo on his side.
Song Yunxuan slightly tilted her head. "Whose photo are you holding?"
"… No."
He didn't want Song Yunxuan to see the photo in his hand.
Song Yunxuan walked over. Her voice was much gentler. She reached out and said, "Let me have a look."
Xiao Luo still hid the photo and didn't want to show it to her.
But Song Yunxuan was very stubborn. If he didn't show her the photo, her fingers would not be taken back.
They confronted each other for more than ten seconds.
Xiao Luo finally handed over the photo in his hand under Song Yunxuan's gaze.
Song Yunxuan took the photo. When she saw the exotic woman in the photo, she instantly knew who this woman was.
"Your mother?"
Xiao Luo nodded. His lonely look was a little more profound than usual.
A child without the support of his parents was excluded in the Xiao Family. Even with the protection of Xiao Jiancheng, he couldn't be protected in all aspects.
He missed his mother just because the life was too hard.
Song Yunxuan's heart softened a little.
"Although I don't know what kind of person your mother is, I think your mother must hope that you can have a good life in the Xiao Family. Don't you think so?"
Xiao Luo lowered his head and said nothing. His eyes were covered by his hair, so no one could see them clearly.
Song Yunxuan returned the photo to him. Her voice was with certainty that could not be ignored. "You will have a good life in the Xiao Family!"
