Chapter One: Marrying a Sick Child
The Su family is brightly lit.
In the luxuriously decorated hall, Xia Xiaoxia rolled her eyes and cursed in a low voice: "She is indeed a little bitch who came back from the countryside, without any tutoring at all!"
Su Nianjiao hugged Xia Xiaoxia tightly and said softly: "Mom, don't be upset because of that woman. It's not worth getting so angry."
Wu Xiaoxia snorted coldly and said: "If you don't want her to marry that semi-crippled man for you, I won't take her back no matter what! Jiaojiao, you have to marry that dead girl at tomorrow's charity party.
It’s so stressful, I heard that young masters from several big families in the imperial capital will go there..."
At this moment, on the second floor of the Su family.
The man Xia Xiaoxia said she wanted to marry the semi-disabled man was quietly taking a bath in the bathroom.
Su Ciyi's head rested on the edge of the bathtub.
She closed her eyes and enjoyed the warm medicinal bath water in the bathtub.
Crystal water drops slid down her flawless white skin. Su Ciyi opened her eyes, which were as clear as a pool of spring water.
Yes, she will get married for her half-sister in three days.
I heard that this man was still in very poor health and was extremely weak.
Well……
Just marry.
Tomorrow night she will attend a charity gala with her fiancé.
And at noon tomorrow, the fiancé will come to pick her up to get dressed for the banquet. This will be their first meeting.
It was rumored that Young Master Jiang not only had no status in the Jiang family, but was also frail and ill, and had a moody temper, but Su Ciyi didn't care about these.
There was a "wow" sound and the water rippled.
A slender and white calf stepped out of the bathtub and stepped on the floor stained with water.
Su Ciyi put on a white bathrobe, wrapped it tightly, and walked out of the bathroom barefoot.
After putting on her pajamas, her thin but upright body stayed in front of the window. Su Ciyi raised her head and squinted at everything outside the window.
I recall that this was her home more than ten years ago.
"Mom...I'm back..."
"I have wronged you for so many years...I will definitely find out what happened back then, and I will not let you continue to be wronged..."
The moon sets and the sun rises.
Early the next morning, Su Ciyi's door was banged heavily.
"Su Ciyi, why don't you get up quickly?! People from the Jiang family are coming to pick you up soon, and you still have the nerve to sleep in?!" Xia Xiaoxia outside the door scolded sharply and meanly.
Su Ciyi was woken up, and there was a hint of displeasure on her pretty face.
She got up and got out of bed and opened the door, "Aunt Xia, the Jiang family didn't come until noon. It's still early. I want to sleep a little longer."
"Why sleep?"
Xia Xiaoxia grabbed Su Ciyi and pushed her downstairs.
"You're a country girl with no tutoring or quality. The Jiang family is about to come to take you to get dressed for a banquet. If I don't train you in advance, it won't be an embarrassment to our Su family!"
As she said that, Xia Xiaoxia threw a stack of thick books on Ciyi's body and asked her to walk with the book on her head for an hour. She also threatened that if the book fell to the ground during this period, Su Ciyi would be whipped.
Su Ciyi looked at this big book and frowned.
This kind of drama of walking with a book on your head to cultivate the so-called deportment is not even performed like this in TV dramas now.
Xia Xiaoxia almost had the words "wanting to find fault with her" written on her face.
Without saying a word, she knelt down and picked up the book that fell on the ground, put it on her head obediently, and followed Xia Xiaoxia's request, walking carefully in the living room.
Anyway, ever since they returned to the Su family, the mother and daughter had tried every means to bully her, and her father had been pretending to be blind.
Su Ciyi has long been used to it.
Xia Xiaoxia held the whip in her hand, waiting for the book to fall so she could whip Su Ciyi.
Su Ciyi's skin was as white as snow. Regardless of her beautiful appearance and figure, her white skin alone made her look extremely dazzling when standing among the crowd.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, we can leave scars on Su Ciyi's body before tonight's charity party!
Su Nianjiao came to Xia Xiaoxia and muttered: "Mom, when will you find a way to steal Su Ciyi's medicinal bath recipe?"
Xia Xiaoxia lowered her voice and replied: "Don't worry, when the Jiang family picks this dead girl up at noon, I will go to her place to find a medicinal bath recipe!"
"I didn't expect that this damn girl, who learned some medical skills from that old country man, could take such a good medicinal bath. When mom gets the prescription, she will definitely find a way to prevent her from taking medicinal baths in the future!"
When Su Nianjiao heard this, she felt relieved and curled her lips, "That's good, you can find it as soon as possible, so I can take a dip before the dinner."
The two were chatting quietly when they heard a "pop" sound, and the book on Su Ciyi's head fell to the ground.
Xia Xiaoxia stood up angrily, holding the whip and was about to whip Su Ciyi, "It's useless, the book fell off after just walking for a long time!"
But just when the whip was about to hit Su Ciyi, Su Ciyi suddenly turned to one side and nimbly dodged the whip.
She bit her lower lip and said in a low voice, "Aunt Xia, can you change the punishment? The whip hurts too much..."
Xia Xiaoxia was furious and whipped her backhand again, "Okay, you damn girl, how dare you hide?! You see, I won't whip you to death today!"
Su Ciyi did not dodge the whip, but blocked it with her arm. Her delicate forearm received a strong whip, and a red mark immediately appeared, and the skin was faintly torn, with a little blood oozing out.
"Damn girl, how dare you stop me?! I educate you for your own good, but you are so ignorant, I have to teach you a lesson today!"
Xia Xiaoxia swung her whip and cursed angrily. Her attitude was no different from that of a shrew in the market.
From an angle that Xia Xiaoxia couldn't see, Su Ciyi's eyes turned cold, and when she turned her wrist hanging by her side, a silver needle appeared silently between her fingers.
Just when Xia Xiaoxia was about to continue beating Su Ciyi, a sound of restraint came from the door.
"stop!"
I saw a gentle-looking man walking towards the entrance.
When Xia Xiaoxia saw this person, she immediately hid the whip behind her back and put on a polite smile, "Oh, Assistant Jiang, why are you here so early?"
Su Ciyi calmly put away the silver needle between her fingers and looked sideways at this person.
Jiang Chao met Su Ciyi's gaze, nodded politely, and then gave Xia Xiaoxia a meaningful look, "Mrs. Xia, I'm here to pick up Miss Su."
Xia Xiaoxia was very warm, covering her lips and smiling, as if everything that had just happened no longer existed, "Okay, okay, Ciyi, Assistant Jiang is here, why don't you pack up and follow him!"
Su Ciyi lowered her eyebrows and nodded obediently, without saying hello. She went upstairs to tidy up briefly and then followed Jiang Chao out of the Su family's door.
"Hello, Miss Su, my name is Jiang Chao. I am Mr. Jiang's assistant. Mr. Jiang is waiting for you in the car."
Jiang Chao briefly introduced himself, took Su Ciyi to a black Bentley, and opened the door for her.
