‘When Su Jiaojiao got home, she couldn’t get her spirits up. She went straight to her room and collapsed on her soft bed.
She stared straight at the white ceiling, thinking.

The maid knocked on the door a few times, but there was no response. She was worried and called out.

“Miss, it’s time for lunch. Miss?”

Su Jiaojiao’s wandering thoughts were pulled back as she responded impatiently.

“Theard you. I’ll go downstairs later.”

After receiving the reply, the maid left. She seemed to be used to Su Jiaojiao’s spoiled attitude.

In the dining room, Wang Shenglan had already taken her seat. She noticed that the seat beside her was still empty and was a little confused, so she asked the butler.

“Where’s Jiaojiao
The butler relayed the maid’s words.

“Miss Jiaojiao said she’ll be down soon.”

‘Wang Shenglan furrowed her brows. She didn’t seem satisfied with the answer, but she had no choice but to take it.

“Alright, if she doesn’t come downstairs for a while, you guys can go to the kitchen and leave some food for her.”

The butler replied, “Yes, Madam.”

At this moment, the sound of footsteps came from the stairs. Wang Shenglan looked towards the source of the sound and saw a haggard-looking Su Jiaojiao.
Her heart skipped a beat.

‘Wang Shenglan did not dare to look at her again, as if she had done something wrong.

Su Jiaojiao didn’t notice it. She immediately pulled out her seat and sat down.

This time, instead of choosing a seat closer to Wang Shenglan, she chose another seat, seeming distant.

Su Jiaojiao said as she looked at the servants and butler.

“All of you can leave. I don’t want to see you.

“It annoys me to see you.”

‘The servants and butler did not look upset at all as they took their leave respectfully. In an instant, only Wang Shenglan and Su Jiaojiao were left in the dining room.
Su Jiaojiao was too lazy to beat around the bush and went straight to the point.

“Mom, did you send me to President Xu’s bed?”

‘Wang Shenglan’s fingers, which were holding the spoon, paused. She looked up, her face calm as if it was none of her business.

“Jiaojiao, what are you talking about? I’m your mother, why would I do such a thing?”

Su Mubai received her instruction and ordered the food. Then, Su Mubei clicked the payment page.

After ordering, Su Xiaoning leaned back on the massage chair and closed her eyes to rest for a while.

Unexpectedly, Su Xiaonai fell asleep just like that.

After some time, Su Mubei and Su Mubai, who had just finished washing up, heard someone knocking on the door. They were puzzled as to why Su Xiaonai didn’t open the door.
Su Mubei looked up and saw Su Xiaonai sleeping on the massage chair. He sighed like an adult.

Su Mubai jogged to the door and opened it. She took the food and put it on the dining table.

Su Mubei walked up and tugged at Su Xiaonai’s sleeve, hoping to wake her up.

Unfortunately, it didn’t work.

Su Mubei paced around. For a moment, he could not think of any solution.

Su Mubai walked over and pinched Su Xiaonai’s nose, preventing her from breathing. After a while, Su Xiaonai opened her eyes.

It was only then that Su Mubai let go of her. Not yet recovering, Su Xiaonai took in big gulps of air.

“What is it?”

Su Mubei pointed at the takeaway on the dining table.

“Mommy, you were sleeping so soundly just now. You didn’t even hear the delivery man knocking on the door.”

Su Xiaonai scratched the back of her head apologetically.

“Sorry about that.”

Su Mubai and Su Mubei were understanding. They know their mother was working very hard.

Su Mubai nudged Su Xiaonai and said.

“Mommy, quickly go and have dinner. Otherwise, it’ll get cold.”

Su Xiaonai nodded, then rushed to the dining table and started digging in, looking very hungry.

Su Xiaonai was halfway through her meal when she suddenly thought of something. An idea struck her. She thought that she could use Su Jiaojiao to halt the acquisition.
With this thought in mind, she took out her phone and opened her contact list. After searching for a while, she saw the numbers she was looking for.

Su Jiaojiao picked up after a while.

“Su Jiaojiao, are you free tomorrow night? Let’s meet up.”

“Sure.”

Usually, Su Jiaojiao would have rejected her, but she agreed readily this time. Su Xiaonai couldn’t help but frown.

She had a bad feeling, but she couldn’t put her finger on it..
