Chapter 1250 - 834: Whether It’s Important or Not, We Can Call Each Other

Behind Xiao Xiaoang was Xiao Yan, carrying Xiao Xiaoang’s big backpack.

Su Xiaomeng looked up at Xiao Yan, "That was pretty quick..."

"Yeah, it’s not far."

Xiao Yan responded.

"Why didn’t you take Xiao Ang to your office, and came straight here?"

Su Xiaomeng was quite curious since Xiao Yan’s office should be downstairs.

"I wanted to find Xiao Yang. There’s no one in her office, so I guessed she would be here." Although Xiao Yan was answering Xiaomeng’s question, he was talking to Pu Yang.

Pu Yang stood up, "What’s so urgent?"

Xiao Yan glanced at Su Xiaomeng, pressed his lips together, and said, "Can you watch Xiao Ang for a few minutes? I need to say a few words to Pu Yang."

Su Xiaomeng raised her eyebrows slightly, chuckled, and nodded, "Sure."

Xiao Yan put the backpack on the bench and reminded Xiao Ang to stay by Su Xiaomeng and not run around.

"Oh."

After replying, Xiao Ang sat down on the bench, maintaining a distance from Su Xiaomeng.

Xiao Yan took a deep look at the pair, one big and one small, and for an instant, his eyes were filled with emotion.

Even though it was just a fleeting moment, Pu Yang caught it precisely. Following Xiao Yan’s gaze, she took a fixed look at the pair.

Turning back, she saw Xiao Yan had already walked several steps away and hurried to catch up, "Ah Yan, wait for me."

Su Xiaomeng watched the two figures walking one after the other, curious about the relationship between them... Clearly a couple, yet there seemed to be no affection.

"Do they make a good couple?"

Suddenly, the cute voice of Xiao Xiaoang rang out again, still asking questions.

Su Xiaomeng turned to meet the big almond-shaped eyes under Xiao Xiaoang’s cap, "They do make a good couple, a talented man and a beautiful woman, both good-looking and both doctors."

"You’re lying."

Just as Su Xiaomeng finished her sentence, Xiao Xiaoang responded with those two words, leaving Su Xiaomeng momentarily speechless.

Xiao Xiaoang clasped his hands together, his back curved, legs swinging, eyes focused on his clasped hands, muttering, "They’re obviously not a good match."

Su Xiaomeng was left a bit puzzled, then after thinking for a while, she could only imagine one possibility...

"Um... You don’t like Pu Yang?"

"..." Xiao Ang didn’t say anything, just kept swinging his legs.

Observing this, it seemed the little guy agreed...

"Why don’t you like Pu Yang? She’s pretty, gentle, and an angel in white."

"Do I need a reason not to like someone?" The little guy spoke in a low voice, his tone sounding mature beyond his years.

"I believe there must be a reason for not liking someone."

Su Xiaomeng said seriously.

Xiao Xiaoang glanced at Su Xiaomeng.

Su Xiaomeng also looked at Xiao Xiaoang, finding him under his cap with those big almond-shaped eyes, so adorable, even though his face was entirely sulky.

"Dad doesn’t like her."

After a while, Xiao Xiaoang said.

Su Xiaomeng blinked and then suddenly laughed, "If your dad doesn’t like her, then why would he plan to marry her?"

"Dad just doesn’t like her."

Xiao Xiaoang said stubbornly.

"Did your dad tell you that?"

"... No, but I’m my dad’s son! How could I not know what he’s thinking?" Xiao Xiaoang quickly patted his chest, looking at Su Xiaomeng without moving his gaze, wanting her to believe him.

Su Xiaomeng chuckled, whether Xiao Yan liked Pu Yang or not, it was their family matter.

Seeing Su Xiaomeng’s expression, Xiao Xiaoang knew she didn’t take what he said seriously, and instantly felt a bit upset... His mouth began to pout, Su Xiaomeng looking as though she could hang a bottle on it.

She reached out to touch his cap,

"If Pu Yang marries your dad, wouldn’t you have a mom?"

"I don’t want her to be my mom!"

Xiao Xiaoang immediately showed extreme resistance, leaving Su Xiaomeng a bit...

"Su Xiaomeng, what’s your phone number?"

Su Xiaomeng was taken aback for a moment, then couldn’t help but laugh, "What do you need my phone number for?"

"With or without a reason, we can call each other..."

"Are you planning to call me?"

Xiaomeng felt ecstatic talking to this little guy.

Xiao Xiaoang nodded earnestly, then pulled out a pencil and a small notebook from his backpack, "Tell me, I’ll write it down."

Su Xiaomeng smiled slightly, reciting her phone number to him, watching him carefully write each Arabic digit with a pencil.

"Check it a couple of times to see if I got it right."

Seeing Xiao Xiaoang’s serious demeanor, Xiaomeng found it increasingly amusing, and nodded, "That’s right, that’s it."

Xiao Xiaoang felt elated inside, but showed a casual expression, as if it was no big deal, carefully putting the notebook back into his backpack.

"Is the kindergarten you’re attending now called Peony Kindergarten?"

"Mm."

"Auntie’s two children also studied at Peony Kindergarten before."

"..."

"Auntie has a son and a daughter, both two years older than you. You’ve seen the brother before; he used to study music with you at the children’s art center. He plays the piano. And there’s a sister... Next time, if there’s a chance, I’ll bring them out to play with you, okay?"

"No."

"Ah... So neither the brother nor the sister playing with you is good?"

"No way."

Xiao Xiaoang repeated himself without a hint of hesitation, then hopped off the bench and picked up his big backpack. Su Xiaomeng blinked rapidly, unsure of his actions, looked up, and saw Xiao Yan and Pu Yang walking over.

Xiao Yan was still the same as usual, without much change, and Pu Yang beside him was smiling slightly, which also seemed unchanged.

"Xiao Yan, what time are we going home today? I’m hungry."

"There are some snacks in the office. You can eat a bit first; wait for me for half an hour, and then we’ll go home."

"Okay."

Xiao Xiaoang held onto Xiao Yan’s big hand, and the two walked past Xiao Meng. Xiao Yan thanked Xiao Meng, but Xiao Ang glanced at Xiao Meng without saying anything. Su Xiaomeng wondered if she’s mistaken as the little guy’s look seemed slightly displeased?

Did she somehow accidentally offend this little guy?

As the two walked away, the forced smile on Pu Yang’s face seemed to be collapsing. After Xiao Yan and Xiao Ang went downstairs, Pu Yang’s face fell...

"What did Xiao Yan say to you?"

As soon as Su Xiaomeng asked this, Pu Yang’s eyes turned red...

"What’s going on?"

"Just now, my dad called him and told him to break up with me..."

"Your dad asked you to break up with him? Why? Xiao Yan is so outstanding; he has good family conditions, good family background, and he’s a good match for you."

Pu Yang chuckled softly, "Yes, we match in every aspect..."

Su Xiaomeng blinked a few times, feeling something was off about this tone. On reflection, she hurriedly said, "Oh... not exactly, Xiao Yan has a child, in this regard, you might be at a bit of a disadvantage."

Pu Yang shrugged again, smiled at Su Xiaomeng, and said, "If I want to marry him, I have to accept one condition..."

"What?"

"Not having kids."

"..."

Su Xiaomeng watched Pu Yang’s departing figure and sighed lightly. It’s not that every family has its difficulties, but rather everyone has their difficulties.

Her phone vibrated in her bag. Su Xiaomeng took it out and saw Yin Shixiu’s call, along with the time on the screen, sighed to herself, picked up her bag, answered the call while heading to the elevator,

"Shixiu, things are resolved here, I’ll come back now."

"Why took so long?"

"Oh, I’ll tell you when I get home."

After ending the call, Su Xiaomeng quickly headed home.

While she rushed, she still arrived home at nine, and returned to Jun Garden in the dark.

The servant informed Xiao Meng that Yin Shixiu was in the study, so Xiao Meng went there.

Yin Shixiu saw her return and asked, "Have you eaten yet?"

"Not yet... I’ve already asked the servant to prepare it."

"I just asked you to check on Pu Wei’s condition, how did it take so long? You haven’t even had dinner?"

"It’s not that I didn’t eat, I just forgot... Ah, right, let me tell you—"

Su Xiaomeng jabbered on, telling Yin Shixiu a story.

Yin Shixiu raised his eyebrows, looking bewildered, "Just let it go like that?"

"I did pursue it, but I also think it’s important to be forgiving. As long as the Pu Family is willing to issue a statement, then it doesn’t matter."

The servant brought in the food, and Xiao Meng laid on Yin Shixiu’s desk, shoveling dinner into her mouth.

After listening to Su Xiaomeng’s entire story, Yin Shixiu yawned. To be honest, was there something inappropriate about Su Xiaomeng’s approach? Certainly.

Making friends... The higher the status, the harder for someone with position and weight to make friends. Did she just so easily make a friend...?

But... also as Su Xiaomeng said, resolving this matter peacefully without any losses is definitely more convenient and pleasant than having the police investigate, have each department make assessments, and come up with a correct answer.

"However, Pu Wei’s eyes are really blind. Although there’s not completely no hope, restoring vision would require the Pu Family to put in some effort."

Su Xiaomeng estimated.

Yin Shixiu nodded, "Indeed."

Later on, Yin Shixiu called Bai Sidong to inform him of the situation here. Once the case got withdrawn, the police helped Yin Shixiu issue a statement.

Xiao Meng ate her meal a bit late. She lay in bed unable to sleep, her stomach felt uncomfortable, tossing and turning for a while until finally getting sleepy. Just as she was about to fall asleep... suddenly. Her phone vibrated...

Xiao Meng picked up her phone, glanced at the completely unfamiliar number, and tentatively pressed the answer button, "Hello?"

"..."

After Xiao Meng’s "Hello", there was no response from the other side, only the empty sounds of phone noise.

Xiao Meng was feeling quite sleepy, "If you don’t speak, I’ll hang up—"

"Su Xiaomeng."

A child-like voice came from the other end...
