Chapter 227 I'm the only one who's hated
6 month 8 day.

Night, kitchen.

"Really? Xiaoyou has helped Mr. Su Ming before?"

An Shiyao was busy until six o'clock before she returned.

It was naturally impossible for Su Ming to wait for her to come back and ask her to cook.

"Xiaoxi, when did you learn to cook?"

"Ah, I, I learned it from my best friend when I was free."

Is An Xiaoxi still nervous?

"Okay, go do whatever you need to do and don't get in the way in the kitchen."

"What? Can't I come and take a look?"

"..."

After An Shiyao left, he saw An Xiaoxi shaking his head imperceptibly.

You mean it's okay?

6 month 8 day.

late at night.

Everything was normal. This matter itself was unpredictable in common sense, and it was impossible for anyone to look at himself and An Xiaoxi with suspicion.

“It tastes a lot better.”

"It must be because my sister is here."

"..."

An Shiyao entertained them both warmly.

Want to interrupt and lighten the mood?
Actually it is not necessary.

Just keep a normal mind, otherwise you will make mistakes if you talk too much.

"Sister Xiaoyou wants to come here to see if there is a suitable part-time job, right?"

"..."

After dinner, they sat together and ignored Su Ming for the time being.

I didn't see any discomfort in An Xiaoxi. I occasionally agreed with An Shiyao's jokes.

"Clap clap clap."

Su Ming simply took out the internal operating system of syyx company and looked at the data.

It was only a few days after its establishment, so there was not much business. Most of the business came from my father-in-law’s connections and the connection with Wendy.

The business that truly belongs to this company will be available in a few days.

"Really? You think it looks good?"

"Yeah, I saw Xiaoxi painted it too."

"Would you like me to make one for you?"

"..."

Ok.

When talking about some things that An Xiaoxi might have felt guilty about, such as copying An Shiyao's homework and doing manicures, she would be a little shaken.

6 month 9 day.

early morning.

While An Shiyao was sleeping, Su Ming sent a message to An Xiaoxi.

[I was so scared that we suddenly talked about manicures... I now understand how it feels like to have a guilty conscience]

【…】

[Brother-in-law, why are you so natural? ]

【If you decide to conceal something, you should do it well. 】

【……sorry.】

[Have a good rest. My sister is going to look for a part-time job starting tomorrow. Yao is still very busy. You don't have to work so hard anymore. ]

[…Then I must go too, right? ]

【Need not. 】

6 month 9 day.

early.

An Shiyao took Su You out very early.

As for An Xiaoxi, Su Ming found a good excuse to take her to see Syyx Company and see if there is any place where An Xiaoxi can work like a slave.

"Interview? How can I interview others? I am still a student myself..."

"Just sit on the side and act as a secretary. Otherwise, it would be a bit lacking if I were to be the HR person alone."

6 month 9 day.

noon.

“Are you familiar with English and the overseas medical device market?”

"..."

"I'm sorry, you don't meet our requirements for the time being."

Su Ming can offer a very high salary, but his requirements are also high.

Before, I might have thought that it was okay to have something a little worse, and slowly develop familiarity with it. Now I don’t have that thought, I just want the best. Money is not a problem. The biggest problem is that it doesn’t produce results, or that it slows down the company’s development.

It is just a small company now, but he is the only one who knows the potential and background of this company and how far it can go and how busy it can be in the future.

"Hey... I thought my brother-in-law would want her."

"?"

Su Ming took a sip of water and tightened the bottle cap. "My spoken English is obviously just memorizing. I don't understand any of the professional terms randomly checked. I am not up to the task. Don't look at me like this. During the time I was with Xia Ye, I did meet many talents from all walks of life. I also tried to pretend. I understand a little bit."

"But she has a great figure."

"?"

"She also wore a cheongsam and black stockings. Her high heels looked great too."

"Do you think I'm here to choose a concubine?"

"No, I just suddenly realized... my brother-in-law can be serious? He didn't look at me at all, and he was so strict that he didn't care that I was about to cry."

"I suppose she's not as pretty as you?"

"Tsk, men... Even though he's my brother-in-law, I don't think it's strange for him to take a second look. I took a few more glances just now. It didn't seem like he was here for an interview, but more like he was trying to hook up with men."

"..."

"Brother-in-law, don't you think that no woman will pay attention to you now? It's spread in the Kyoto circle that someone from Dong City married the eldest daughter of the An family, and it was through personal ability, and his background is unfathomable."

"is it?"

"Didn't my brother-in-law notice that woman flirting with me just now? She was pretending to be pitiful?"

"Didn't see it."

"..."

Su Ming raised the salary very high, more than double that of his peers. Many people came to apply for the job.

"I studied in Eagle Country for four years and worked in the medical device industry for five years. In addition, I passed the exam during my career..."

As the saying goes, there will always be brave men when there is a big reward. There are always a few people that Su Ming is satisfied with.

Of course, the final judgement still has to be handed over to Xia Ye. It's not just about ability, but also whether the background is clean.

"It's time to eat, Secretary An."

"What Secretary An? That sounds so ugly..."

6 month 9 day.

in the afternoon.

An Shiyao got off work and said that Su You went to her company with her to take a look. He still politely refused to work for her.

I thought it was almost time to go back for the day.

"Brother-in-law."

But An Xiaoxi poked him in the back.

"..."

I turned my gaze back and saw her lowering her head and not saying anything. Her cheeks were gradually turning red.

"?"

"Well... brother-in-law said it, right? If you want to pretend, do it well."

"Yes."

"I just... feel that such opportunities are rare. If I keep thinking like before... maybe even if I finally meet my brother-in-law in the future, I won't have the chance..."

"..."

"I don't know when the next time will be. So..."

She raised her face, which was red all the way to her ears.

"Come on. Just for a moment... okay?"

In order to fit the role of secretary, Su Ming gave her a set of OL uniforms in the warehouse of Syyx Company. Although she didn't look so serious with her bun, if you look closely, she looks a bit like a junior who just joined the company and is learning from her senior.

Wearing sneakers barefoot is a bit out of place, but it adds a touch of vitality.

"Are you not afraid of feeling guilty when you go back? Are you afraid to look your sister in the eye?"

"You have to get used to it sooner or later. If it's always like this... then even if I wait for a year or two to meet again, I still won't be able to do it."

"There's no need to be so stubborn, right?"

"…I didn't try to be stubborn, unless my brother-in-law has lost interest in me."

"..."

"Hehe, before, several women who came to apply for the job looked particularly beautiful after putting on makeup, and my brother-in-law didn't react at all... Now... it's like this. I'm so happy."

Sometimes I really don't understand their train of thought.

But men are not creatures that are always in heat. When it is time to be serious, you have to be serious.

"Brother-in-law."

She asked, raising her eyes as she served.

"Ok?"

"I heard... pregnant women can't do that."

"almost."

"By then, will my brother-in-law go to Eagle Country or Canada?"

"Probably. I wouldn't go there specifically for something like that. But I'll definitely go and see it after a while."

"No, that's not it... I mean, these past few days... didn't my brother-in-law have sex with my sister? We didn't do it to the end in the office that day, we were just shaking normally."

"..."

How can I explain this to her?
Xia Ye kindly provided some technology so that An Shiyao didn't have to worry about the child at all. Of course, it was true that she was always cautious due to psychological factors, and it was also true that she would not be as crazy and demanding as she was before she got pregnant.

"It's just... I'm here these days, right? If my brother-in-law wants, and if there's a chance... I'm available."

"is it?"

"Ugh?!"

"..."

"Why can my brother-in-law be so calm and well at the same time?!"

“Thinking about problems and being comfortable are not in conflict.”

Understood.

She really wanted to keep it a secret. Once she figured it out, she wanted to get used to doing something in the city where An Shiyao existed. Wasn't that necessary?
To put it bluntly, if we meet again in the future, it is likely that either An Shiyao or Miao Xueer will be around, or even both of them. If you can't let go, then the chances of really getting along will be almost zero.

"……Feel sorry."

"Why did my brother-in-law apologize? Shouldn't I be happy? But... it took me a long time to think clearly about doing this. Just now I was waiting for my brother-in-law... wondering if he would be attacked suddenly. In the end... he didn't want to embarrass me, right?"

"ah?!"

Carry her to the interview table.

"..."

"I have birth control pills in my bag...so..."

Maybe she couldn't finish her words in such a bright place, so she chose to hug Su Ming's neck and kiss him.

"You're only a secretary now...right?"

Her cheeks were flushed, and after kicking off her sneakers, she naturally hooked her feet around Su Ming's back.

6 month 9 day.

Night.

"Why are you back so late?"

An Shiyao, who was wearing slippers and home clothes, puffed up her face and said, "Xiaoyou and I have been waiting for an hour since we prepared the meal."

"There are quite a lot of applicants, especially the last one which is a bit difficult."

"Really? You can do that kind of thing later. Xiaoxi is here to have fun, not to be your slave. Be careful that your sister-in-law won't like you. Look at you, you're all sweaty."

An Shiyao took out the wet wipes.

"Ah... Sister, I can do it myself."

"Hurry up and take a shower and eat."

"..."

It is unknown whether An Xiaoxi was blushing because of the heat or for some other reason.

"Brother, is your company going well?"

My sister came over suddenly.

"good."

What could go wrong?
After all, he had the support of his wife and father-in-law. Some nobles from the Eagle Country almost came to give him money because of his relationship with Xue'er and Stray. Su Ming accepted all the offers.

In terms of business channels, Xiaoye and his father-in-law have provided us with so much that we cannot digest them all. Excellent cattle and horses are what we need most.

"What is the company's shareholding structure?"

"I originally wanted to give your sister-in-law a portion, but because of taxes and some formalities, I currently hold 100% of the shares."

"Oh. Come on, bro."

"?"

Su Ming was about to speak.

"Brother, many people at home have contacted my aunt and want her to pass on a message to you to help them."

Su You changed the topic again.

"They want you to help their children find jobs."

"I thought that when we had no money to pay for tuition, it wasn't them who helped us. OK, I got it. I'll call my aunt back later."

"Also, I'm going to a tourist attraction to meet a friend tomorrow, and then I'll go back the day after tomorrow."

"friend?"

"Friends who come to visit Dong City."

"..."

"Brother, don't look at me like that. I'm 20 years old."

"…How many people are there in your family? What do they look like? What is their education level?"

"It's a girl."

"Shall I take you there?"

"Brother, don't act like a sister-con. It's disgusting."

"I'm worried you're going astray."

"Brother, let me remind you that you are playing three games at once."

"..."

It’s not that I think Su You would lie.

If she really had a boyfriend she liked, she would definitely tell me calmly.

Sooner or later.

Ok.

It was a bit surprising that I was just a kid ten years ago, but now I have grown up. "Be careful on the road, and call your sister-in-law or me if anything happens."

"Brother, you should pay more attention to Sister Yao. Be careful not to get hurt after the boat capsizes."

"If you can talk, talk more."

6 month 9 day.

Night.

The meal went smoothly and there was nothing unusual about An Xiaoxi.

Compared to yesterday, I was able to take the initiative to bring up topics and talk about what I saw and heard during my trip.

6 month 10 day.

early morning.

Go back to your room and sleep.

"Why doesn't Xiaoyou want to come to work for me?"

"I've thought about it. I'll just help with some contracts, stamp some documents, and do some alone time in an office without surveillance... or something."

"That's why she won't go. You are her relative now, and if she works for you, people will talk about her. If she doesn't do a good job, it will affect your reputation."

"It's not a big job..."

"Or maybe my sister didn't want to cause you any trouble. It was originally just a part-time job. She told me before dinner that she planned to leave the day after tomorrow... Now, the time is tomorrow."

"But if that's the case, Auntie will think I don't care about Xiaoyou at all."

"How can it be so complicated?"

"According to what Mr. Su Ming said, Xiaoyou won't want to come here to work after graduation. It's very tiring to work hard on your own."

"It's still early, we'll talk about it later."

"I still want Xiaoyou to come work here, so I can take her out to buy groceries and go shopping after get off work every day... Hey, Mr. Su Ming, why don't you let your aunt and the others move in together?"

"Relocate the whole family?"

"Anyway, my aunt and the others are working there, so it's the same if they come here, and we can be together. I can arrange work and accommodation for them."

"… You're overthinking it. They won't come. But they should be happy about your kindness."

6 month 10 day.

early.

"Xiaoyou said she was going to meet a friend. Does Mr. Su Ming know about this?"

"know."

"What a wonderful sister! It's hard to imagine that she was taught by Mr. Su Ming."

"Curse more, I'm already feeling good."

"……abnormal."

"..."

Lips and teeth mingled.

"Then I'll go to the company. I can take Xiaoxi there and let her get used to it. Maybe she will come to work with us in the future."

"But, after all, Xiaoxi is here to play."

"Don't really give her too much work. It's better to just hang out in the company in the morning and take her out to play in the afternoon. In the past... I rarely took her out to play."

6 month 10 day.

morning.

The list submitted to Xia Ye for the final review yesterday has come out and there are no problems.

“As you can see, the company is in its early stages.”

"But I won't make promises like other companies do. All I ask is that you finish what you are supposed to do and do it well. I will also make it clear what the salary structure is."

"Good treatment requires good employees, understand?"

"..."

Yesterday, I only needed one person. He was wearing glasses and was about 30 years old.

"Boss Su, the reason why I resigned from Kyoto is because there are too many rules and regulations. There is no future."

"As long as you treat me well and give me room to develop my talents, I guarantee you will be satisfied."

"This is the planning table I made last night based on some of the channels you proposed."

"..."

He was quite motivated, but unfortunately Su Ming couldn't understand all the dense text.

"The one next to President Su is his sister-in-law, right? She has such a great temperament."

"Eh?"

An Xiaoxi was obviously stunned. She didn't expect that he would suddenly talk about her.

"No, she's my wife's sister."

"Sorry, sorry, I misunderstood. Your temperament is really great..."

"Okay, I won't be the one doing your assessment. In a few days, our senior employees from overseas will come. I don't understand technical stuff, but they do. Don't let me down."

"Don't worry, real gold is not afraid of fire, right?"

6 month 10 day.

noon.

Went to the trade center and drank tea for half an hour. The reason was that Miao Xueer sent a batch of electronic products from Eagle Country that were originally controlled by Snow Country. The procedures were indeed very troublesome, but Su Ming didn't have to fill them out.

"Mr. Su Ming is really a young and promising man."

"I believe that your company will soon become one of the leading enterprises in Dong City. We will definitely fully support the development of your company... If you need any help, please feel free to call us."

"..."

There are human relationships and social conventions everywhere.

With my father-in-law helping to take care of things in advance, many things became simpler.

These are just small things. When the company is officially running, there will not be just one car of electronic products, but more. Will the international situation change by then? I didn't expect that I, who used to only think about being contented, would now pay attention to international affairs.

6 month 10 day.

in the afternoon.

After finishing the cargo matter, I returned to the company.

"not in a good mood?"

It seemed that An Xiaoxi didn't say much after receiving the call from the company.

"Brother-in-law..."

An Xiaoxi raised her head with some fear, "Should I not come out alone with you? Without my sister around, I unconsciously... got too close to you."

"..."

“Being misunderstood.”

"I've already explained it. There are brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law who have a good relationship."

"..."

"What? You just decided to get used to it yesterday, but you backed off today? Think about it, aren't you still planning to debut? I was thinking maybe I could get you to be the company's spokesperson in the future."

“That way…”

"You don't have to wait for several years, do you? I don't like to make people wait. It's already very sad that I'm not responsible for the time being. If I make you wait for several more years, am I still a human being?"

"..."

"Hold your tears. Don't cry. It's not a very responsible thing to do. If you are really moved, you can just cheer."

"..."

"Dong dong."

There was a knock on the door, but no one came in.

"Boss Su, the owner of a small food factory wants to see you."

"Food factory? I see."

"what?!"

Su Ming patted the leather drum wrapped in An Xiaoxi's quilt skirt, smiled, and went out.

6 month 10 day.

in the afternoon.

Return to the villa with An Xiaoxi.

No one was there. An Shiyao hadn't come back yet. She sent a message to Su You, saying that she would be back in an hour or so, and might have to finish eating hotpot with her friends before coming back.

"Is this guy really in love?"

"Brother-in-law doesn't want Xiaoyou to have a boyfriend?"

"That's not the case, but as a brother, I don't want to meet a guy with yellow hair. Well... my sister's taste is not likely to like yellow hair."

"..."

An Xiaoxi went to take a shower, while Su Ming took out the Blade of Philosophy to practice.

When An Shiyao and the others are not around, you can use it to cut vegetables as a way to get familiar with this weapon.

"Brother-in-law..."

"Ok?"

Turning back, I saw An Xiaoxi wrapped in a bath towel, with her wet hair sticking to the snow-white baby canteen.

Bare feet.

"I just called my sister... She said she might not be back until late tonight. I also asked Xiaoyou if she wanted to come back for dinner, and she said she was already eating hot pot. After dinner, her friend asked her to go to the night market together and they would not be back for at least two hours. She is a female friend, not a boyfriend."

"is it?"

So we don’t have to cook too much for dinner tonight?
I saw An Xiaoxi come to the door again, as if to confirm whether the door was locked.

Come back again.

He came to Su Ming, pressing his back without reservation, and rubbing his face against the back of Su Ming's neck.

"Brother-in-law... sniff."

"It smells like sweat... I sweat a lot."

"?"

what?
Why lick?
"This is one of my XPs... didn't I tell you that?"

"You just said you liked the smell."

"Now I know. It's not just that I like to smell..."

There was definitely nothing else in her bath towel, but she could already feel something strange about the short-sleeved shirt on the back.

"..."

"Oh, I am my sister's wife's younger sister... You are right."

"I may be saying one thing and thinking another. I clearly said that I don't need to be responsible, and I absolutely don't want to be responsible."

"But when I heard my brother-in-law say it so calmly... I knew that since I had said I would continue the performance, I had to be serious about it."

"..."

"But, my sister is not here, Xiaoyou is not here either, and now there is no need to say that I am my sister's younger sister. My brother-in-law... also married me as his wife, right? Although it was in 2067."

"It will definitely not be like this in 2067. Don't worry."

"I don't know what 2067 will be like, but..."

An Xiaoxi's hand around Su Ming's belly slid down, her breathing a little disordered, "I know now that I can be alone with my brother-in-law for at least an hour. Is my brother-in-law going to use this hour to cook or...eat me?"

The towel slipped off.

There was really no cover-up inside. Su Ming saw everything clearly.

"Brother-in-law, go to the bathroom... You haven't showered yet. And the bathroom needs to be cleaned every day, so it doesn't matter if there are traces..."

"Can I help you wipe your back? Use the baby cafeteria..."

There is enough time.

According to An Shiyao, it would take at least an hour to finish her complaints. She even told him not to wait for her to eat first.

My sister is already eating. A hot pot with friends will take at least an hour.

"Brother-in-law..."

"Can you give me all the things you didn't do and accumulated at my sister's place?"

hiss.

It seems that An Xiaoxi has really thought it through and is really planning to get used to coming here secretly more often and is determined to go all out.

There is no accumulation.

But An Shiyao has been really busy these past few days, doing mostly chatting and general quiet things.

"Brother-in-law...I was really scared when my sister suddenly talked about manicures."

"Look... this is my sister's manicure that she did for me again. I specially changed it to bright red. Is it different from my sister's? Can you cover the color? Change it to my brother-in-law's color... Is that okay?"

"Wow."

The water in the bathtub swayed with the movement of her feet.

"!"

The moment of ending.

"Clap."

Is it an illusion?
Su Ming heard some noise outside the bathroom and the sound of something falling to the ground.

"Brother-in-law? No... continue?"

I saw An Xiaoxi lying on the edge of the bathtub, completely into the mood.

"Wait a minute."

"...?"

Following Su Ming's gaze, An Xiaoxi also looked outside the glass door of the bathroom.

There was a figure. A blurry figure in a skirt standing there.

"Brother-in-law, I seem to have... screwed up."

An Xiaoxi's body froze and she couldn't stop shaking.

She had only one thought in her mind.

It's over. Because of my own emptiness, the practice and satisfaction I want.

No one came in, but the footsteps went towards the living room.

I clearly checked again and again... and locked the door. I placed the broom against the door. Someone coming back would definitely hear the sound and then say that they accidentally left it there and forgot about it while mopping the floor.

So, why is this happening?

An Xiaoxi looked at Su Ming.

"It's okay. I'll take care of any problems."

what?

My brother-in-law is the same, his face looks very uneasy.

Why should you indulge yourself like this?
It was clearly his fault, but he always acted like it was his fault and that he should be responsible for it...

so sad.

So disgusting...disgust with myself.

"Wow."

"Xiao Xi?"

"It's all... my problem, and it's still my problem now. I will kneel down before my sister, and I will tell her about it. Everything is my problem, and it has nothing to do with my brother-in-law!"

If this family is broken up, I will never be able to atone for it even if I die.

If there's anything I can do, it's... take full responsibility.

Yes.

Just like admitting my mistake last time, I said that my brother-in-law thought there was no one in the bathroom. I did it on purpose, I deliberately seduced my brother-in-law... I am a bitch. My brother-in-law kept trying to reject me, but I refused to give in.

It’s not my brother-in-law’s fault, it’s me.

Just look at me like a bitch. Take out all your anger on me, and then... I'll disappear.

Well, it should be like this. It's all my fault. My thoughts keep changing. Before, I thought I was satisfied if I could see him once every few years, but now I think I have to pretend anyway, so I have to get used to it under his nose. This is the retribution for my greed. It's the retribution I deserve.

If it were a fool like my brother-in-law, it would probably make a mess.

Let me take over. I am the only one who is hated.
