Chapter 144 Could it be that he mistook someone for someone else?
As he walked, Zhao Er slowed his pace.
He turned to look at Su Yingxue and said softly, "Miss Su, we will have guests at home tonight."
Su Yingxue was slightly taken aback, then smiled faintly and replied, "This isn't my home, so you can decide for yourselves."
Zhao Er stopped and looked at her sincerely, saying earnestly, "Miss Su, please don't say that. You are now the mistress of the Zhao family."
“Over the years, the gentleman has never given up searching for you, hoping that you can remember the past.”
Su Yingxue was completely stunned, her face full of astonishment and her eyes full of confusion.
She muttered to herself, "Zhao Da Kuang is such a strange name. I don't remember him at all. Could it be that he mistook me for someone else?"
Zhao Er seemed to see through her thoughts and quickly explained, "Miss Su, I have no mistake. The gentleman has been looking for you for many years. The hardships he has endured are unimaginable to others."
Su Yingxue lowered her eyes, lost in thought, her doubts growing stronger.
She followed behind Zhao Er, her steps unconsciously becoming heavy.
Su Yingxue walked briskly, turning her head to look at Zhao Er as she went, her eyes filled with doubt, and asked, "Zhao Er, just tell me, how exactly did Zhao Da Kuang and I meet?"
Zhao Er quickly lowered his head, his hands respectfully hanging at his sides, his face full of embarrassment, and replied in a low voice, "Miss Su, this is a private matter between you and your son. As your subordinates, it's really not appropriate for us to comment."
Su Yingxue frowned, paused, and said again, unwilling to give up, "What's so hard to say? Just tell me a little bit, my mind is completely blank, I don't remember anything."
Zhao Er still didn't dare to look Su Yingxue in the eye, and shrank back slightly, refusing again: "Miss Su, please don't make things difficult for me. You know the young master's temper, and I really don't dare to go against his wishes."
Her cautious and meticulous demeanor perfectly showcased Zhao Da Kuang's usual imposing presence, revealing that Su Yingxue held a special place in his heart.
Su Yingxue snorted and muttered to herself, "Hmph, this Zhao Da Kuang, either he's mistaken me for someone else, or he's gone mad. I really don't remember him at all."
A short while later, the elevator arrived, and with a "ding," the doors slowly opened.
Su Yingxue walked out gracefully, her elegant posture and stunning beauty instantly attracting the attention of many men around her.
Those eyes were filled with amazement and admiration, staring intently at her.
Upon seeing this, Zhao Er's face darkened, and he immediately took a few quick steps to stand in front of Su Yingxue.
He swept his sharp gaze across the group and shouted, "What are you all looking at? Have you no manners? Get out of here!"
Startled by the shout, the people quickly looked away and went about their own business.
This undoubtedly demonstrates how much Zhao Da Kuang values Su Yingxue.
With Xiao Qi on her mind, Su Yingxue quickened her pace and headed towards the children's play area.
Once inside the play area, she looked around and found it relatively quiet, with only a few children playing here and there.
Just then, Xiaoqi's clear laughter rang out.
Su Yingxue looked in the direction of the sound and saw Xiao Qi playing happily with a little boy.
The little boy seemed to have a very close relationship with Xiaoqi, and his eyes were full of doting affection for her.
When Xiaoqi looked up and saw Su Yingxue, her eyes immediately lit up.
She ran over, grabbed Su Yingxue's hand, and said happily, "Mom, this is my new friend, Brother Jie."
Su Yingxue looked at the little boy and saw that he looked very gentle. She smiled warmly and greeted him softly, "Brother Jie, you have to play with me."
The little boy blushed slightly and smiled shyly.
Then he looked at Xiaoqi and said, "Xiaoqi, this is your mother. She's really beautiful."
Upon hearing this, Xiaoqi proudly raised her little head and laughed, "Of course, my mommy is the most beautiful in the world."
Su Yingxue stood in the amusement area for a while, her brows gradually furrowing.
She glanced around furtively, sensing that something was amiss.
The place was strangely quiet and sparsely populated, as if some danger was lurking in the shadows.
A strong sense of unease welled up inside her, and she immediately decided, "Xiao Qi, we have to go."
Upon hearing this, Xiaoqi immediately pouted.
The little girl still clutched the little boy's clothes tightly, saying reluctantly, "Brother Jie, I don't want to leave. I want to play with you some more."
But seeing Su Yingxue's serious expression, she sensibly muttered in a low voice, "Okay, Mom, let's go."
The little boy's eyes also turned a little red.
However, she still tried to remain calm, gently patted Xiaoqi's shoulder, and said softly, "Xiaoqi, you go first. Don't worry, I will definitely come to find you later."
Su Yingxue pulled Xiao Qi and turned to walk out.
As they walked, they suddenly noticed something shiny on Xiaoqi's neck. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a ring.
She was startled and quickly asked, "Xiao Qi, where did this come from?"
Xiaoqi touched the ring on her neck and answered in a clear voice, "It was given to me by Brother Jie just now, Mom. And I also gave him a gift, my favorite doll. We even made a promise to exchange rings next time we meet."
Upon hearing this, Su Yingxue frowned even more deeply, and her pace quickened unconsciously.
She just wanted to get Xiaoqi away from this strange place as soon as possible.
Su Yingxue held Xiao Qi's hand tightly and hurriedly left the amusement park.
Looking back, I saw the little boy named Brother Jie standing alone in the center of the playground, holding the doll that Xiao Qi had given him, with a hint of reluctance in his eyes.
Just then, a middle-aged man in a black suit with a serious expression rushed over.
He saw the little boy and called out, "Young master, the master is looking for you."
"The business has been settled, and we're about to leave. The master specifically asked me to come and find you."
The little boy lowered his head slightly and looked at the doll in his hand.
As if recalling the happy times with Xiao Qi, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, revealing a faint smile.
She then followed the middle-aged man, leaving the amusement park with many glances back at each step.
Su Yingxue's heart was pounding like a rabbit's.
She knew the situation was delicate. Xiao Qi was young, and if she accidentally said something like Tan Zhengchu was like her father, it would definitely cause unnecessary trouble.
Thinking of this, she leaned closer to Zhao Er and whispered, "Zhao Er, Xiao Qi needs to go to the restroom. You wait for us outside."
Zhao Er dared not slack off and immediately beckoned to another servant, whispering a few instructions to him.
The maid quickly slipped into the bathroom.
After checking, he came out and nodded to Zhao Er, indicating that there was no problem.
Zhao Er then stepped aside and said, "Miss Su, please go in with Xiao Qi."
