Chapter 227 - Exposed Again

“Eat slowly. There’s still plenty of food. Don’t make a mess.”

Xi Chenxiao wiped the corners of Su Jin’s mouth as he spoke gently. Merlin saw them interacting with each other, ignoring her completely. She was very angry and even felt intense jealousy. She clenched her fists until her fingernails dug into her palms, but no one noticed her. Meanwhile, the eldest young master, Randall, walked over. He held a glass of red wine and smiled at Xi Chenxiao as he raised his glass. However, his gaze fell inadvertently on Su Jin because this girl was so beautiful, graceful and quiet as an angel. She was especially noticeable under current circumstances.

Xi Chenxiao noticed Randall’s gaze and instantly felt jealous. He pulled Su Jin, who was happily eating, into his embrace and gently wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief and said plainly,

“Darling, if you eat too much sugar, you’ll get cavities.”

Su Jin looked at the pastries gloomily. Damn it, can’t you give me some face? You always act like you’re raising a child, but I’m already an adult, okay? Of course I know that it’s not good to eat too much sugar but I will definitely brush my teeth when I’m home tonight!

Randall looked at Xi Chenxiao in disbelief. How was this possible? Didn’t they say that this guy did not get close to women at all? Moreover, this girl seemed very young, so he asked quickly,

“Chairman Xi, is this your wife? She seems very young!”

Xi Chenxiao glanced at Randall indifferently. This guy dared to spy on his dearest? He had to make him stop and the only way was to let him know that this girl was his. He said coldly,

“That’s right, this is my wife. She’s an adult and has reached the legal age for marriage.” Randall was a little disappointed when he heard this. He withdrew the interest in his eyes and sat down beside Merlin. Perhaps he was still not willing to give up or he wanted to probe, he asked grudgingly,

“She’s already married at such a young age?” “It’s such a pity that she entered the marriage tomb at such a young age. She’s missing out on so much…”

Xi Chenxiao tensed when he heard this. How dare Randall poach someone right in front of him? He has no respect for him and tried to snatch his woman from under his nose? Randall felt the cold aura and said to Merlin,

“It’s so strange. It’s suddenly so cold. Why is the air conditioner turned down so low?”

Suddenly, a loud noise sounded. A group of people were screaming and running; the entire hall was in chaos. Some people were running out, some were surrounding and watching, some were even running around blindly until someone shouted.

“God, Mr. Max has fainted. Call an ambulance quickly.”

“What?”

Randall shouted as he ran towards the noise. Merlin wanted to rush to Max’s side but was stopped by the servants beside him. They explained to Merlin,

“Miss, Mr. Max has high blood pressure. Now that he suddenly fainted, it’s very likely a problem with his brain vessels. We can’t move him. Let’s wait for the ambulance.”

Su Jin and Xi Chenxiao also came to Randall’s side. When Su Jin saw Max’s appearance, her expression changed. She let go of Xi Chenxiao’s arm, squatted down beside Max and took out the silver needles she carried with her and directly inserted a needle, ignoring everyone’s astonished gaze.

Merlin, who was squatting at the side, saw Su Jin’s actions and thought that Su Jin was going to harm her father. She immediately pushed Su Jin away. Wasn’t she just stealing her man? Was there a need to harm her family? She shouted excitedly,

“What are you trying to do?”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Su Jin wanted to explain that she was trying to save her father, but before she could say anything, Xi Chenxiao pulled her into his arms. Xi Chenxiao looked at her nervously, his eyes filled with worry as he asked, “Are you hurt?”

Su Jin quickly shook her head to express that she was fine. She pushed Xi Chenxiao away and wanted to explain Mr. Max’s illness, but before she could say anything, she heard Merlin ridiculing her,

“Chairman Xi, I know this is your beloved wife, but your useless mute wife dared to insert a needle into my father? This matter will not be settled so easily.”

When Su Jin heard Merlin’s words, she immediately wanted to explain. After all, this was a matter of life and death, and it was not a joke. But, before she could open her mouth to speak, Xi Chenxiao’s face was cold as he said frostily,

“My wife didn’t harm your father, she was trying to save him!”
