Su Jin raised her head and looked at Xi Chenxiao seriously. How dare the devil talk about her like that? What had she done since they met that made him think that she was stupid? She was obviously very smart. If anyone was stupid, it was the devil and not her! With her hands on her hips, Su Jin continued unhappily,
“I’m not stupid. I’m very smart. If you dare to say that again, I’ll unfriend you!”
The corners of Xi Chenxiao’s mouth curled up when he saw that Su Jin was a little upset. She’s indeed a little girl to get angry over such a small matter, but he had little choice. She’s his wife and it’s his job to sweet-talk her now. Xi Chenxiao wore a smile on his face and whispered in her ear,
“That’s right. Darling, you are very smart. So smart that I fell in love with you.”
Su Jin felt shy when she heard this but she smiled with satisfaction. The devil was doing very well today. He had never been like this before. Could he have learned this from someone else? How else could he be such a sweet-talker now? It was simply unbelievable.
!!
When they arrived at home, Su Jin and Xi Chenxiao sat on the sofa. Su Jin was still thinking about where the devil had picked up all the sweet nothings. Xi Chenxiao looked at her adorable face and could not help but chuckle. Just as he was about to say something, Xi Shi walked in and said respectfully,
“Chairman, regarding the matter you asked me to investigate, I have some findings.”
Xi Chenxiao sat up straight when he heard this. He put the fruits that the helper had just brought in in front of Su Jin. These were the freshest and best fruits. Every single one of them had been carefully selected. Xi Chenxiao looked at Su Jin dotingly and said with a smile,
“These fruits are all fresh. You must eat more!”
Su Jin nodded quickly and took the fruit basket into her arms. She smiled sweetly at Xi Chenxiao and Xi Chenxiao gently stroked her beautiful hair. He then turned to look at Xi Shi, his gentleness instantly replaced by a cold expression.
“Tell me now!”
Xi Shi looked at Su Jin who was eating happily and his eyes were filled with dissatisfaction. He looked down on this girl even more. He did not know if she had a heart; her mom was gone, and she was still in a mood to eat? Xi Shi stopped looking at Su Jin and spoke respectfully to Xi Chenxiao,
“Chairman, you asked me to investigate Madam’s mother. I found out recently that someone has bought a burial plot for her at the cemetery and a headstone has been erected!”
Su Jin initially thought that they were going to talk about work matters, so she had been eating fruits. However, when she heard Xi Shi’s words, she immediately put down the fruits and listened to Xi Shi’s report attentively. When Xi Chenxiao heard Xi Shi’s words, he looked at Su Jin worriedly and frowned.
“Then, did you find out who did it?”
Xi Chenxiao knew that up until now, Su Jin had not found her mother’s body, and she would not easily believe that her mother was dead, much less buy a burial plot. Therefore, it was very important to know who did all that. Xi Shi replied with a troubled expression,
“At the moment, we still haven’t found out who bought the burial plot.”
Xi Chenxiao’s face darkened when he heard Xi Shi’s words. After waiting for so many days, that’s the answer he got? Was it that Xi Shi did not understand, or did he not put in any effort at all? Xi Chenxiao took a sip of water and said coldly to Xi Shi,
“That’s all your found out? Xi Shi, do you want to go to Africa?”
When Xi Shi heard this, a layer of sweat immediately appeared on his forehead. He was going to hold back for a while but now that the chairman was angry, he could only tell him everything. He absolutely could not hide anything. Otherwise, the chairman’s anger… Xi Shi would not be able to bear it. Xi Shi replied carefully,
“Chairman, it’s like this. I’ve used many connections, and in the end, I found out that it was the president’s wife who asked someone to buy this burial plot for Madam’s mother.”
Xi Shi also did not understand why the dignified first lady would buy a burial plot for Su Jin’s mother. Could there be some secret between the first lady and Su Jin’s mother? Xi Shi didn’t want to say it initially because he was afraid that after the chairman found out about this, he would value Su Jin even more. What could Miss Shangguan do then?
Su Jin was also a little confused when she heard this. She had never heard her mom say that she knew the first lady. So why was the first lady acting so strangely?
