Chapter 004: Getting angry is easy to get old

Xiao Lian was surprised and opened her mouth wide, "Miss, isn't this inappropriate? Shouldn't we invite someone in for a cup of tea? Besides, she is the senior maid of the young lady. Everyone in the mansion should give her some face. Miss Su Xiyun used to be very close to Zhu Yu, what's happened now?"

Su Xiyun raised her eyebrows nonchalantly, "How can I enjoy my meal with her around?"

Xiao Lian was left speechless.

However, Su Xiyun paid no further attention to her. Xiao Lian glanced at her calm and composed demeanor and sighed before leaving the room.

After a while, Su Xiyun faintly heard a female voice outside, "Is having a meal so important? Which young lady attending the flower appreciation banquet has had a meal at home before coming? Besides, my young lady is already waiting at the mansion gate. Your young lady's arrogance is just too much, isn't it?"

She couldn't make out what Xiao Lian replied.

Su Xiyun silently chuckled as she watched the scene through the bead curtain. She deliberately made the so-called elegant and refined Miss Su wait at the gate. If she didn't want to wait, she didn't have to! She had no obligation to go, after all. In the original story, Su Xiyun hadn't received an invitation to the flower appreciation banquet; it was Miss Su Daiyun who insisted on taking her. And then that incident happened.

This was probably the only wicked thing the white lotus female lead had done.

She wouldn't do wicked things, but if others plotted against her, she had no reason to just accept it! Besides, how could she fight back on an empty stomach?

When Xiao Lian hurriedly brought the food from the kitchen due to time constraints, Su Xiyun deliberately ate slowly, savoring each bite before swallowing.

Zhu Yu, who was waiting at the door, had the urge to rush in and strangle Su Xiyun.

Su Xiyun, watching her through the bead curtain, couldn't help but smile at her silent anger.

An hour later, Su Xiyun leisurely appeared at the mansion gate with Xiao Lian. Needless to say, the young lady of the Su family was already sitting in the sedan chair, impatiently waiting, but luckily the sedan curtain covered her. Otherwise, her distorted face due to anger would have surely scared off the girls who had gathered around her out of admiration.

Su Xiyun felt a slight sense of regret for making this beautiful woman unhappy. However, she was no longer the carefree girl who used to read novels. She had become Su Xiyun, and now they were on opposite sides. She couldn't possibly like her as she did before.

Su Xiyun counted three carriages parked at the mansion gate. Which one should she take? Before she could ask Xiao Lian, the first carriage in front had already started moving and soon disappeared at the end of the alley. The second carriage followed suit. Xiao Lian whispered to her, "Miss, let's take the third carriage!"

Su Xiyun's gaze fell on the last carriage.

Obviously, in terms of specifications and appearance, this carriage was a notch lower than the other two. However, she wasn't the kind of person to fuss over such trivial matters. She readily boarded the carriage, finding it clean. Xiao Lian, on the other hand, struggled a bit while getting in, unlike Sun Qian's efficiency.

The carriage slowly started moving.

"Miss, are you okay?" Xiao Lian asked with concern.

Su Xiyun naturally understood Xiao Lian's concern, which was about her being upset for having to ride in this carriage. She shook her head at Xiao Lian, thinking to herself that at least the girl had finally spoken.

Su Xiyun didn't need to think to know whose idea it was to make her ride in this carriage, which was only slightly inferior in status. This was probably the other person's way of retaliating for making them wait for so long. They must be extremely frustrated. She thought with a hint of malice, getting angry easily can make one age quickly...
