Su Yan sounded serious .
Xuxu frowned and glanced at him . “Su Yan, are you affected by those rumors as well?”
Su Yan answered, “Yueyue is my sister, and I’m able to take care of her . ”
Xuxu didn’t want to discuss any further with Su Yue around . She was very sensitive to the recent news .
So she looked at Su Yan and concluded, “Alright, let’s not talk about this now . Just take good care of Yueyue . ”
Su Yan nodded and bent down to help Su Yue with her luggage . “Let’s go . ”
“Bye, Third sister-in-law . ” Su Yue waved at her, looking as though she couldn’t bear to leave her .
Xuxu knew that Su Yue wouldn’t return to them so easily once she had settled at Su Yan’s place . At the thought of that, she was a bit reluctant to part with her, too .
She sent them to the door, and when Su Yue turned around to face her, she saw her eyes were glistening .
Xuxu’s breathing stopped for a moment and her heart ached .
She wanted to tell Su Yue to be strong and to tell her that she also lost her parents when she was young .
But Su Yue wasn’t her, and she had a more tragic and pitiful childhood compared to her .
Xuxu closed the door after they entered the elevator .
She went to the kitchen to get some water and saw a container next to the sink . She opened the lid and took a look inside of it .
It had just been washed, and it was very clean .
It must be Su Yue .
Xuxu covered the container with its lid and took a deep breath . Her heart suddenly felt exceedingly heavy .
What would happen to the Yan family tomorrow? What would become of them?
There was nothing she could do .
It was past 7 p . m . and Yan Rusheng wasn’t home yet . Xuxu cooked noodles for herself and huddled on the sofa to watch TV .
She dozed off and when she woke up—it was already 10 p . m .
She called Yan Rusheng, and he replied saying he was still busy . It was very noisy on his side .
Xuxu deduced that he was most likely at a bar or a pub . She frowned as she glanced at the time . “Fooling around the whole night . ”
Yan Rusheng knew that he had upset her, and so he chuckled . “Unhappy?”
Xuxu chided, “Men who patronize pubs are all good-for-nothings . ”
She instantly ended the call .
Yan Rusheng heard the call end . He stared at the screen in amusement . “Hey! This stupid woman!”
His smile was blissful and contented .
During the entire dinner, the men around him received calls from either their family or wives—only his phone remained silent .
He knew that Xuxu wouldn’t want to disturb him during his social engagements .
But he had felt jealous and envious when he saw them receiving calls .
But, when Xuxu called, he felt incredibly blissful . He stood up and turned around to bid everyone farewell . “Chairman Wu, Chairman Tang, please continue to have fun . I shall make a move first . ”
He hastily strode toward the clothes rack to retrieve his coat, and he hung it on his arm .
Perhaps they didn’t notice that he seemed to be in a hurry .
“President Yan, take your time . ”
Someone yelled .
Yan Rusheng ignored it and wrenched the door open and left .
After he disappeared from their sight, the three men gestured for the ladies to leave the room . They began to discuss in a hushed conversation . “What do you think was his motive for asking the three of us out for dinner and drinks?”
