40. Leave City C
As soon as Xiao Feihuang stood up, Xiao Feijun coldly rebuked him: "Feihuang, as a member of the Xiao family, you indulge in pleasure and have no ambition. I thought that was already the most degenerate thing you could do. I never expected that as an elder, you could do such a thing. You have disgraced the Xiao family."
"I have disgraced the family?" Xiao Fei was now mostly sober, realizing he had acted impulsively today. Looking at Su Tong standing in the corner, he even felt a pang of regret for being punished for nothing after failing to get what he wanted. But since things were already like this, and seeing Xiao Feijun righteously siding with his son, he decided to throw caution to the wind and no longer acted subserviently to his elder brother. He sneered, "If you hadn't suppressed me and forced me to stay in this position, would I be so frustrated that I had to resort to disgracing the family? Brother, you value the reputation of the Xiao family so much, yet you don't give your younger brother a good life? Now you're lecturing me. You and your seemingly respectable son, who actually keeps a mistress and hides it better than anyone else, are truly father and son. If my men hadn't noticed by chance, I wouldn't have known he was keeping a mistress at the White Queen's place."
Xiao Feijun gave him a cold look, as if he were looking at roadside trash, but he didn't say anything. He thought to himself that he had actually thought that his third brother was too ambitious and might threaten him back then, but now it seemed that he had really overestimated him.
Xiao Feihuang said nothing more, and with a sinister smile, he slowly walked out of the room, dragging his slightly injured body.
When Xiao Yang went out to make a phone call, only Su Tong and Xiao Feijun were left in the bedroom. As someone who had long held a superior position, his cold, scrutinizing gaze swept over Su Tong as if he were looking at a failed product and considering whether it should be destroyed.
Su Tong was naturally a little scared in front of such an important figure as Xiao Feijun, but compared to the excitement of being able to go home soon, it was nothing. However, she amplified this fear and stood in the corner, letting her body tremble slightly.
Xiao Feijun had heard that his son's 30th birthday party companion was a stunning beauty, but he didn't pay much attention to it. For people of their status and position, as long as the important matters were handled well, one or two women would not affect the overall situation at all.
But at this moment, when Su Tong actually stood in front of him, even though she was only wearing extremely loose and simple home long-sleeved shirts and trousers, it couldn't hide her beautiful figure at all. Her waistline was so slender that it seemed as if it would break if she didn't support it. Her long hair, which cascaded down to her waist like a waterfall, had a warm glow under the light. Her neck was white and slender, like an elegant swan raising its neck. Her exposed feet were small and crystal clear, perfectly exquisite like jade carvings. Even without seeing her face, he felt his bones soften three times over, wishing he could just prostrate himself at her feet and make her stop looking down so weakly, but instead look up and show a captivating smile.
“Father, I have already apologized to Grandpa.” When Xiao Yang re-entered the bedroom, he saw Xiao Feijun scrutinizing him seriously, and Su Tong, who was trembling with her head down under scrutiny.
Now that Su Tong had been discovered, Xiao Yang didn't intend to keep her hidden forever. Having such a beautiful lover wasn't something Xiao Yang should deliberately conceal. So he walked over and openly embraced Su Tong, gently kissing her forehead and saying, "It's alright, don't be afraid."
Su Tong answered softly, her voice choked with sobs, "No. Xiao Yang, I'm scared. I want to go home. If you really like me, please let me go home."
Xiao Yang was taken aback for a moment, but his heart softened when he saw Su Tong's tearful eyes as she looked up. He still said, "Yes, I can go back with you to take a look."
Xiao Feijun was old and Xiao Yang's father. Looking at Su Tong's stunningly beautiful face, he couldn't muster much romantic feeling for her. He sighed inwardly, "Beauty is a curse, beauty is a curse. Many heroes who can resist the charms of a beautiful woman are probably just not beautiful enough." Just as he was thinking that it would be best to let Su Tong leave Xiao Yang, Xiao Yang, who fully understood his father's thoughts, spoke up.
His eyes were filled with determination as he rationally analyzed, "Father, it is true that being deeply in love can make one lose judgment, but I already like her very much. This conflict with Uncle San was indeed a momentary impulse, but Uncle San is also to blame for going too far. If you let Su Tong leave, it will only make me more worried and I may not be able to do my job properly. The conflict with Uncle San has already happened. Although Su Tong is indeed outstanding in appearance, she has a detached personality and a clean background. Keeping her by my side will not affect the overall situation. Dad, please let her stay by my side."
Xiao Feijun then began to waver, and Xiao Yang expressed the same sentiment to Old Master Xiao Weigong, feeling that even if the people who plotted against him had meticulously designed this series of events, his grandfather would probably not ask Su Tong to leave him.
However, just as dawn broke, Xiao Weigong made the final decision on the matter via video call. Xiao Feihuang was severely reprimanded by the old man in the video call, stripped of all family support in his career, and after being removed from his position as deputy director of the Municipal Propaganda Committee, he was transferred to the Northwest Mountain Area for three years of reflection. Xiao Yang beat his uncle and was punished by kneeling facing the wall for one hour every day for a month. Then, Xiao Weijun was ordered to make Su Tong leave C City before noon.
Xiao Yang looked at his grandfather's expressionless face on the computer screen, somewhat surprised, but still smiled and said, "How could that be? Grandpa, Tongtong has a clean family background and a clean resume. She's just a little bit good-looking. Grandpa, I can't possibly stay with an ugly girl that no one wants, can I? Why do you have to make her leave me?"
Xiao Weigong asked calmly, "You're willing to keep them here, but are they willing to stay?"
Xiao Yang smiled lightly without changing his expression, "She has already accepted me, and we will be very happy together in the future."
Xiao Weigong then showed a hint of anger: "Still together? Just because you fought with your third uncle for her sake, she can't be allowed to live!"
Before Xiao Yang could argue further, Xiao Weigong gestured for silence, then softened his expression and spoke earnestly in the tone of an elder: "On your birthday, Xie Er came over and said you forcibly detained a woman. I thought we couldn't show weakness to the Xie family, so I let you go. Now this ugly affair of uncle and nephew fighting has happened. Xie Er just called again, saying he already knows about it and wants you to release her. Since ancient times, beautiful women have been a source of trouble. Keeping her around for you to indulge in romantic entanglements every day is worse than letting her harm Xie Er. Grandpa knows you like her quite a bit; you seemed very happy when you came to the capital last time. But you're not a naive teenager anymore. No one is indispensable. There are plenty of good girls out there."
"Xie Chengjing?" Xiao Yang finally understood. No wonder Xie Chengjing had such a cool and unperturbed demeanor when he met him at the gate of Xiao Weigong's government compound in the capital last time. It turned out that he had planned this all along. However, Xie Chengjing's elaborate schemes could not change anything. Xiao Yang thought of Su Tong curled up on the sofa upstairs, refusing to let anyone get close. He thought that keeping Su Tong at bay would only make her dislike him. His grandfather's decision could not be changed for a while, but if Su Tong left C City, could they not develop their relationship? Thinking this, Xiao Yang smiled even more deeply and said, "Well, that's fine too."
So, instead of feeling relieved on the day Su Tong left City C, she felt even more stressed.
Xiao Yang was not angry about her leaving. Instead, he had the new nanny (since Sister Zhang was no longer around) prepare a very lavish meal for the two of them. After they ate together, he personally took Su Tong to the airport.
Su Tong was very annoyed because, although Xiao Yang should be her suitor now, Xie Chengjing was like a walking block of ice. She couldn't help but compare the scene of Xie Chengjing seeing her off at the train station last time with the scene of Xiao Yang seeing her off at Beijiang Airport in C City this time. Last time, Xie Chengjing left nothing but the words "disappeared" that made her heart tremble.
Xiao Yang had shipped a lot of things for Su Tong. Su Tong had only glanced at them briefly at the villa. In the short few days at the White Queen Castle, Sister Zhang had started preparing all her clothes, shoes, and accessories. Yesterday, when she and Xiao Yang went shopping, Xiao Yang bought and packed a whole bunch of expensive items that Su Tong had seen, that the shop assistants had recommended, and that she had tried on.
Su Tong was about to refuse, but she was pretending to be someone who was already trying to accept Xiao Yang and was stunned by the sudden change, so she had no choice but to give up. She thought that for Xiao Yang, this was just a matter of a word.
When Su Tong left, she was wearing a romantic floral long-sleeved dress chosen by her new nanny. The hat on her head covered half of her face, but her graceful figure was still eye-catching. Xiao Yang was still dressed casually. The handsome and charming Xiao Yang bent down to kiss Su Tong's forehead and say goodbye, saying gently, "Wait for me." At that moment, almost all eyes in the airport were on the two of them. Su Tong was almost dazed by his affectionate and magnetic voice, as if they really were a couple forced to separate.
For the first time in her life, Su Tong boarded a plane without going through security. She took out a wet wipe and vigorously wiped her forehead. Looking at the clouds outside the window, she finally smiled, thinking to herself, "Sure enough, a prodigy like Xiao Yang has no shortage of confidence."
Upon arriving in H province, Su Tong was picked up by bodyguards and drivers arranged by Xiao Yang. When she arrived home with two large bags of things, Su Tong's parents reacted calmly, as if Su Tong had just gone on a trip to C city. Su Tong, however, clung to her mother for a while, but was eventually scolded and pushed aside by her mother.
Two hours later, Kongkong, who had taken the highway home, was also brought back by a special person. Last night at the White Queen Castle, it resisted the people who came too fiercely. Although it was only a half-grown dog, it was as fierce as an adult fierce dog. In the end, it was drugged and knocked unconscious. It was still a little dazed. After arriving home, it circled around Su Tong twice, drank the space spring water that Su Tong took out, enjoyed Su Tong's gentle stroking for a while, and then went to sleep in the doghouse.
The family of four spent half a day together before Su's father suddenly slapped his forehead and exclaimed, "Oh! That's right!"
Then he took a large envelope from the second-floor bedroom and handed it to Su Tong, saying, "This is the letter I received for you yesterday. I forgot to tell you about it."
Su Tong took the letter with a nonchalant attitude and saw that it came from the capital city and the sender was none other than the famous director Lin Lili.
