“Alright, Alright. How can you stay mad at your own daughter for so long? Especially today is your birthday. Stop holding grudges.”

Lin Feng and Su Li had been married for many years and knew each other well. She knew that he was no longer mad at Su Luo but he still needed an excuse to forgive her.

“I’ll forgive her this time for the sake of Gu Zhan and my grandkids.”

Su Li looked serious when he spoke.

Lin Feng nudged Su Luo with her elbow, hinting she should thank her dad.

Su Luo got it immediately. She smiled apologetically. “Dad, thanks for forgiving me.”

Su Li’s angry expression faded away. He said, “When our business was in trouble and almost bankrupted, it was Gu Zhan who saved us. I taught you before that one should always be grateful to those who helped us.”

Gu Zhan couldn’t watch anymore; he tried to defend Su Luo. “Dad, that’s what I should do. Don’t mention it. Luo Luo took good care of our house and the kids. I didn’t care about her feelings enough before. I’ll try harder in the future.”

Su Luo gave him a grateful look.

Gu Zhan blinked at her as if to tell her to take it easy.

“You’re just too indulgent! If it had happened again, you wouldn’t be my daughter.”

Su Li felt both helpless and happy. He sympathized with Gu Zhan. He was also happy that his daughter had such a good guy to love and protect her. He didn’t need to worry that he would mistreat Su Luo.

However, at the same time, the guilt and self-blame bothered him. What Su Luo had done made him feel sorry for Gu Zhan. He decided to warn his daughter so that she wouldn’t make the same mistake.

Su Luo bowed obediently. “Got it! I won’t make the same stupid mistake again.”

The relationship between the father and daughter was finally repaired; everyone felt happy about it.

Su Li also felt relieved; a long-lost smile came back to his face.

Gu Xi wanted to go to the garden of the Su residence. Lin Feng doted on her granddaughter and suggested that she take them there to play for a while. She ask Su Luo to go to the kitchen to check on food serving pace.

Gu Zhan wanted to go with Su Luo, but Su Li stopped him.

“Many of our relatives and friends came today. Some big shots in the business came too. Come with me and I’ll introduce you to them.”

Su Li’s main purpose was to take Gu Zhan to meet their relatives.

Su Luo wouldn’t take Gu Zhan to any of their family events before, many of the elders of the Su family hadn’t met him yet.

“Okay.”

Gu Zhan agreed.

Su Luo had no choice but to go to the kitchen alone.

After she was out of the door, she stood there not knowing where to go.

The original owner’s memory seemed to go blank; she couldn’t remember the way to the kitchen.

What’s more, this area was quite private, with no one else around.

Su Li and Gu Zhan also had left, so she got no one to ask.

Su Luo had no choice but to rely on her vague senses to search for the route. She thought she could ask for directions when she saw someone.

She walked through several corridors, but still didn’t find the kitchen. She started to feel a little dizzy.

“Why did the Su family build such a big house? It’s like a maze here.”

Su Luo complained.

The Su family house was a traditional-style building. It was very big and there were many rooms in it. It was easy for strangers to get lost on their first visit.

Su Luo did not know how long she had walked. Suddenly, she heard a crisp female voice behind her, “Su Luo? Is that you?”

Then Su Luo heard hurried footsteps approaching, and in a few seconds, she appeared in front of Su Luo.

The woman in front of Su Luo had an exquisite look and a bright smile on her face. She was none other than Qi Yi, whom she had scolded yesterday.

What a thick-skinned woman! After being treated like that yesterday, she still had the nerve to show up in the Su family today?

“Luo Luo, why are you here? It’s so good to see you. I was worried that you wouldn’t come today. If you didn’t come, Aunt Su and Uncle Su would be very sad.”

Qi Yi acted as if nothing had happened. She held Su Luo’s hand and started chatting enthusiastically.

Su Luo pulled her hand back with a fake smile. “Miss Qi, It’s none of your business how my parents would feel. I still have things to do. I am leave now. Take your time here.”

After saying that, Sullo was about to leave, but how could Qi Yi let her go so easily? She had come to look for Su Luo on purpose.

Qi Yi grabbed Su Luo’s hand with a pitiful and aggrieved look. “I think there’s some misunderstanding between us.”
