After transmigrating into the body of a widow, I became the richest man in the capital.

Chapter 216 Su Xiaoxiao Gets Water Drowning
Looking at Su Xiuer's excited expression, Su Xiaoxiao hesitated for a moment, "No, you should continue to work at the store. You've only been working here for a short time, and you're already thinking about skipping work."

Su Xiaoxiao didn't agree because she knew what Su Xiuer was thinking. This guy must be planning to go to the capital with Qian Musheng so that he could have more time to get to know her.

Upon hearing this, Su Xiuer looked disappointed. "Cousin, please take me with you."

She used her trump card, looking at Su Xiaoxiao with pitiful, aggrieved eyes.

"No."

"Then you should at least have someone with you to look after you, right?"

"Yes, I plan to bring Liu Qiaomei along."

Upon hearing this, Liu Qiaomei, who was standing nearby, widened her eyes in surprise.

"Will you take me with you?"

"Okay, go and get ready. Also, tell your dad we're leaving first thing tomorrow morning."

Liu Qiaomei readily agreed and then went back to her room to prepare.

Su Xiuer ran off to wash up angrily, as she had to go to work at the specialty store in town later.

Qian Musheng told Su Xiaoxiao, "I'll send a carriage to pick you up first thing tomorrow morning. Don't be late!"

Su Xiaoxiao agreed and saw Qian Musheng off.

As soon as she closed the door, Su Xiaoxiao felt a chill run down her spine. Turning around, she saw Pei Yuan staring at her from behind with an unhappy expression.

"What are you doing? You scared me to death!"

Su Xiaoxiao looked at Pei Yuan, who had a resentful expression, and asked, "You're up?"

Thinking about how the two of them slept in the same room last night, Su Xiaoxiao's face began to burn.

"Are you going to the capital again tomorrow?"

"Hmm, you knew everything?"

"I want to go too."

Pei Yuan also made a move to go back and pack his luggage, but Su Xiaoxiao stopped him.

"I'm planning to bring Liu Qiaomei with me to Beijing this time. You stay home and take good care of Dabao and Xiaobao, okay?"

Su Xiaoxiao looked at Pei Yuan seriously and spoke in an unquestionable tone.

Although Pei Yuan was reluctant, seeing Su Xiaoxiao's eager gaze upon him, he realized that he held such an important place in Su Xiaoxiao's heart.

"OK then."

Pei Yuan agreed, but he couldn't shake the feeling that something might happen when Su Xiaoxiao went to the capital with Qian Musheng.

Su Xiaoxiao was wondering if her relationship with Pei Yuan had progressed too quickly lately. If they had the chance, they could separate and cool off.

At least think about their future, and what kind of relationship they should continue to have.

The two people were looking at each other from the doorway, unaware that someone was coming from behind them.

She was holding a basin of dirty water and started pouring it down from Su Xiaoxiao's front door.

Su Xiaoxiao had her back to the door at the time. "Xiaoxiao, get out of the way!"

Pei Yuan tried to rush over and push Su Xiaoxiao away, but it was too late.

When couples are deeply in love, it seems like they only have eyes for each other and can't see anything else.

The woman who threw dirty water on the door shouted, "Su Xiaoxiao, you shameless woman! Are you happy now that you see how miserable our family is?"

Su Xiaoxiao looked back and saw that the person leaning over their front door with a basin of water was Granny Liu.

Grandma Liu disappeared for a while after being harassed by loan sharks for her debts. Why is she back to cause trouble again?

Su Xiaoxiao was completely soaked. The water was of unknown origin, mixed with the stench of urine and some other disgusting substance of unknown origin, leaving her drenched and chilled to the bone. Seeing that she had succeeded, Granny Liu immediately jumped down and fled.

Pei Yuan wanted to chase after him, but Su Xiaoxiao stopped him.

So what if we catch up? Grandma Liu's mental state isn't very good right now. Su Xiaoxiao saw her just now and her hair wasn't combed properly; it looked like a pile of dry straw on her head.

It's early autumn now, and it's not actually hot in the morning. A gust of cold wind blew by, and Su Xiaoxiao couldn't help but shiver.

"Xiaoxiao, hurry up and go take a shower and change your clothes. You're shivering like this, you'll easily catch a cold."

Pei Yuan was worried that Su Xiaoxiao would get cold, so he urged her to go inside and change her clothes quickly.

Su Xiaoxiao was angry, of course she was very angry; the smell emanating from her was giving her a headache.

A sense of grievance and humiliation welled up within Su Xiaoxiao, and she was so angry that she didn't know what to do.

She stood frozen in place until she saw Pei Yuan walk towards her, then he picked her up and ran towards the bathroom in the room.

Su Xiaoxiao never expected that Pei Yuan would not only not be disgusted by her smell, but would instead carry her directly into the bathroom.

Su Xiaoxiao's bathroom has hot water. One of the pipes is connected to the stove in the kitchen. The fire from last night is still burning, so hot water can be produced.

Pei Yuan held Su Xiaoxiao in one arm and used the other hand to open the plug on the hot water pipe for her.

Then, Pei Yuan began to help Su Xiaoxiao take off her clothes.

Su Xiaoxiao finally realized what was happening.

"What are you doing?"

"What else can you do? You smell so bad, why don't you wash yourself off? Do you want to stay covered up for the New Year?"

"No, if I'm washing, you have to go out too, right?"

"No, you're in such bad shape, I have to keep an eye on you!"

Su Xiaoxiao was so angry that she wanted to slap Pei Yuan across the face.

Are you planning to shower together since you're not going out?

"OK!"

Pei Yuan did not refuse and made a move to start taking off his clothes.

Su Xiaoxiao's face darkened, and she shouted at Pei Yuan, "Get out of here right now!"

Pei Yuan was pushed out of the bathroom by Su Xiaoxiao.

Then Su Xiaoxiao slammed the bathroom door shut. "Then I'll go get you some clean clothes."

Pei Yuan was still quietly asking Su Xiaoxiao in front of the bathroom door.

"Did I go get you some clothes?"

Su Xiaoxiao ignored him and started washing herself with water.

Fortunately, Su Xiaoxiao had already made the shower gel and other things. It was rose-scented. Su Xiaoxiao didn't know how many times she had showered, but she still felt that there was a strange smell on her body. She had used up all the shower gel.

While taking a shower, she thought, "No, this matter has to be resolved."

Once she returns from the capital, we must resolve the troublesome issue of Granny Liu as soon as possible.

Su Xiaoxiao was taking a shower in the bathroom when Pei Yuan went to get her clothes. Then he went back to tend the stove and boil water, worried that there wouldn't be enough hot water for her to take a shower and that she might get cold.

Su Xiaoxiao spent the whole morning showering in the bathroom before finally opening the door.

Seeing Pei Yuan patiently waiting in front of the bathroom door with her clothes in hand, Xiao Xiao's eyes lit up as soon as she came out of the bathroom. She asked with great concern, "Xiao Xiao, you're finally out!"

Su Xiaoxiao then realized that she was only wearing a white bath towel. Without thinking, she snatched the clothes from Pei Yuan's hand and slammed the bathroom door shut.
