Chapter 1546: Chapter 1546: Tearing Faces (4)
Su Hongxing was focused only on finding the video and photos.
"The family photos are all in my room, let’s go." Madam Xiao led the way into the bedroom.
Su Hongxing was very excited, but her expression remained calm, following Madam Xiao into the bedroom, her gaze glued to the incense table not far away.
Madam Xiao didn’t notice Su Hongxing’s unusual behavior and took out several photo albums.
Su Hongxing took the albums, flipped to those old photos, and chuckled: "This one seems to be the picture taken when I first moved in. At that time, Xiao Dad was very young and handsome, and Xiao Mom was also very beautiful."
Madam Xiao looked, and her eyes became damp: "You girl, I raised you. You used to run around naked, and now you’re a mother yourself. Time passes quickly."
"Xiao Mom is still very beautiful, no different from twenty years ago." Su Hongxing held Madam Xiao’s arm: "No matter what, Xiao Mom is like my own mother."
Madam Xiao gently patted Su Hongxing’s hand: "Hongxing, those words are enough. Xiao Ji is my son, you are my daughter, this will never change."
Tears welled up in Su Hongxing’s eyes too, and she nodded silently.
She hoped Xiao Ji would stop, to not continue doing evil deeds. She feared one day Madam Xiao would learn of Xiao Ji’s actions. After all, Madam Xiao only had Xiao Ji as a son and doted on him.
"Mom, where is the vinegar?" Xiao Ji’s voice approached gradually. He quickly reached the bedroom doorway, saw Madam Xiao and Su Hongxing flipping through old photos, and his gaze paused.
Madam Xiao hurriedly wiped her tears, "The vinegar, I’ll have to search for it..."
Watching Madam Xiao walking away, Xiao Ji looked back at Su Hongxing and asked: "What did you say to make Mom cry?"
Su Hongxing shook her head: "Just talking about past events." She lowered her head to continue viewing photos until Xiao Ji stood before her and took away the album in her hands.
"This is our family’s first photo. You were so tiny then." Xiao Ji also saw the family photo and couldn’t take his eyes off it.
Little Pudding was just like a young Su Hongxing, mother and daughter looked so alike, as if they were carved from the same mold.
So despite Little Pudding being Ye Qilan’s child, he couldn’t feel any dislike towards the child.
Su Hongxing smiled lightly: "Yes, it’s been so many years."
Soon, Madam Xiao came over: "There’s no vinegar at home, I’ll go buy some, be back soon."
After speaking, Madam Xiao hurriedly left.
Su Hongxing felt secretly delighted. She waited for Xiao Ji to go to the kitchen, planning to check if there was a box under the incense table. But Xiao Ji sat down and didn’t leave, wanting to look at the photos with her.
"Isn’t there a stove on in the kitchen? Go check quickly." Su Hongxing suddenly asked.
Xiao Ji was stunned for a moment, remembering he indeed left the gas stove on in the kitchen. He rushed off, and Su Hongxing quickly moved the incense table and indeed saw a box.
She wanted to open the box but found it locked. She was momentarily unsure what to do, fearing Xiao Ji might suddenly return.
She remembered Age was still waiting for her downstairs at the Xiao Family house, so she boldly took the box and snuck out, handing the box to Age.
"Madam, what is this?" Age asked, puzzled.
"Take this home first; I need to hurry back, no time to explain." After speaking, Su Hongxing hastily returned to the Xiao Family house.
As soon as she entered the Xiao Family gate, she saw Xiao Ji looking at her suspiciously: "Where did you go?"
Su Hongxing casually replied: "Just went to check if Xiao Mom came back or not. Should I wait outside?"
