Chapter 37: The Real Miss

  Lin Fei had roughly gone through the Su family's information in the afternoon and knew that Su Yingxue's mother, who seemed to be called Yao Lan, should be this woman in front of him.

  Yao Lan walked up to the two of them, gave Lin Fei a cold and stern glance, "Deaf? Get back to the kitchen and eat! No discipline!"

  Just as Lin Fei was about to say something, Zhang Ma rushed out in a hurry, pulling Lin Fei's hand and signaling him not to speak, while smiling apologetically and bowing his head repeatedly to Yao Lan.

  "Sorry, sorry, ma'am. It's my fault. I forgot to remind Little Lin not to eat in the living room." Zhang Ma still looked pitiful.

  Yao Lan waved her hand in disgust, "Good grief... how can there be such an ignorant servant who doesn't know the rules? If I see you again, get out of this house!"

  Zhang's mother nodded nervously and pulled Lin Fei back to the kitchen.

  "Zhang Ma, must you be like this?" Lin Fei returned to the kitchen, looking at Zhang Ma's still frightened appearance, and sighed: "Is she that scary?"

  Mrs. Zhang cautiously looked outside, making sure no one was around, before whispering to Lin Fei: "Little Lin, didn't you see that even Miss Lian is afraid of the madam?... In this household, it's said that the master is the greatest, but in reality, the greatest is actually the madam."

  The lady has an unusual background. Usually, the old master is afraid of her. Moreover, the lady dislikes dirt and mess, she doesn't like the smell of food in the living room.

  "But her attitude is also too bad, you're an elder after all", Lin Fei muttered in dissatisfaction.

  Zhang Ma couldn't help but burst out laughing, "You silly child... what are you talking about? I'm just a servant, not some elder."

  "You're old enough to be doing chores and cooking for them, they should at least show some respect, even if they don't appreciate you. I see she's wearing a cross, supposedly a Christian, yet she doesn't even know how to be grateful," Lin Fei said with a frown.

  Mrs. Zhang sighed deeply and said with emotion: "Miss has found a good bodyguard, it would be great if you were Miss's boyfriend, now there are not many young men in society who are as sensible as you."

  Lin Fei smiled and took a bite of his bun, "Zhang Ma, you say I'm sensible, but whatever you do, don't say that I'm Su's boyfriend. If I become her boyfriend, I'll die prematurely."

  "What's wrong with that, our young lady is perfect in every way. This pretty face, this figure, you can't find another one like her outside. I think those stars on TV can't even compare to our young lady."

  "Do you know that since the young lady was in high school, there have been so many people chasing after her that they could circle Qing Lake? How is it that when it comes to you, our young lady seems to lose all her charm?"

  "Looks good, but the personality is a bit off", Lin Fei thought of Su Yingxue pulling out the power cord earlier and was speechless for a moment.

  Zhang Ma sighed and said regretfully, "You say that... actually the real young lady is not like that. I heard from Jiang Xia, who used to work as a servant with me, that the young lady's temperament changed after her mother-in-law arrived... it slowly changed... but what you saw is not the young lady's true self..."

  "After that woman came?" Lin Fei thought for a moment, puzzled and asked: "What does it mean? Could it be...that's not Su's biological mother?"

  "Didn't you know? It's also... Miss wouldn't casually mention these things to people. Yes, the madam was the one who brought Master into the house when Miss was nine years old. I came to this household later, and I'm not very clear about these matters either, it was all said by Jiang Xia."

  Lin Fei saw that Zhang Ma seemed unwilling to mention more, and guessed that it was also some taboo thing, so he didn't ask any more questions. However, in his heart, he had a different opinion about Su Yingxue's arrogance, rudeness, and coldness.

  Maybe it's just like Zhang Ma said, she wasn't originally like this, anyone who encounters such a stepmother would change a bit.

  Lin Fei ate a few buns in the kitchen when someone came back outside, it was Su Xingyuan.

  Su Xingyuan saw Lin Fei and acted as if nothing had happened that morning, just giving him a faint glance without saying anything.

  Yao Lan sat on the sofa in the master's seat, while Su Xingyuan and Su Yingxue sat on either side, listening to Yao Lan say some things.

  It's just as Zhang Ma said, Su Xing had no temper at all in front of his wife, smiling and listening to her, occasionally nodding his head from time to time. Su Yingxue didn't even dare to make a sound.

  Soon after, a young man wearing a black MMJ diamond T-shirt, with earrings and dyed silver hair, about 1.8 meters tall, walked down from upstairs.

  The young man seemed to be dressed in the Korean fashion, looking quite delicate, yawning and shouting as soon as he came down: "How come dinner hasn't started yet? I'm starving!"

  As soon as she saw the young man coming downstairs, Yao Lan's cold face suddenly broke into a warm smile. "Xiao Hao is awake, are you still tired?"

  This young man was five years younger than Su Yingxue and was her half-brother by the same father but different mother, Su Junhao.

  "It's tiring to take a plane, next time you go see grandma and grandpa yourself, I'm too lazy to run to the US", Su Jiahao sat down with a scowl, seeing his father and sister there, he smiled crookedly: "Hey, what's with the heavy atmosphere? Dad, sis, are you being lectured by mom again? Didn't we just leave for a week and already have problems?"

  Su Jinhao was full of schadenfreude, his eyes still drifting to Su Yingxue's chest and thighs.

  "Don't be impudent, we're discussing serious business," Su Xingyuan rebuked with a frown.

  "Hmph, this is nothing, I can figure it out with my butt. You're not going to marry that guy with the surname Ma anyway, right? Ah, sis, why don't I go talk to grandpa about it? He might be able to help you deal with the Ma family." Su Jiahao said with a chuckle.

  Su Yingxue forced a faint smile and said, "This kind of thing, how can I trouble you, Grandfather?"

  Yao Lan patted her son's shoulder, "Xiao Hao, this is a small matter, why bother your uncle. Your sister is already at the age of marriage, this relationship must be settled, let alone marrying into the Ma family is her good fortune, your uncle must also think it's the right choice."

  Listening to these words, Su Yingxue's eyes flashed with a few ripples, but she didn't make a sound.

  Su Jinhao lazily lay on the sofa, "Ah, that guy with the surname Ma is lucky, marrying my sister's husband must be a thrill."

  "Stop talking nonsense, she's your sister," Su Xingyuan scolded again, his tone a bit heavier.

  Su Yingxue bit her lip, her face slightly pale.

  "Dad, must you? She's my sister, but she's also a beauty," Su Jiahao said with a smirk.

  "Are you kidding me?! You can't even handle your own daughter, and now you're scolding our son?! He can't even say a few words without being shut down! You're so useless, you can't even convince your own daughter, but you won't let others speak?!"

  Su Xingyuan suddenly lost his temper and didn't make a sound even when he was stifled.

  Seeing this scene, Lin Fei narrowed his eyes at the kitchen door and didn't know what background Yao Lanyu's family had. It seemed that the Su family was attached to the Yao family, so Su Xingyuan and Su Yingxue both lowered their heads in front of Yao Lan.

  Moreover, Su Yingxue marrying Ma Qinghong must have also received strong support from Yao Lan, otherwise the Yao family would have been able to stop the Ma family.

  What a hateful stepmother, Su Yingxue probably couldn't stand her stepmother's harassment and moved out to live elsewhere.

  Su Jinhao disdainfully swept a glance at his father and turned back to shout loudly in the kitchen, "Zhang Ma! Serve the meal!"

  "Ah, okay young master!" Zhang Ma had already been busy for a while and upon hearing this started carrying the dishes.

  Su Jinhao also discovered Lin Fei and raised an eyebrow with a sly smile: "Where did this guy come from, sis? You didn't bring some wild man home, did you?"

  Su Yingxue replied expressionlessly, "He's my bodyguard, named Lin Fei."

  "Oh, let's call him Fei Zai then, heh heh. Fei Zai, as a bodyguard, what kind of kung fu do you know? Show me a few moves!" Su Jinhao said with a teasing tone, as if he was trying to provoke a monkey.
