272 Fox Using a Tiger’s Might
Father Xiao was already extremely nervous, but in order not to lose face, he pretended to be calm and answered Su Meng. “It’s fine. It’s just that she spoke too much and delayed everyone’s meal time, so I wanted to call her away. I’m really sorry. She was spoiled by us at home and doesn’t know how to restrain herself at all.”
“Dad, I just want to ask Miss Su a few questions. Besides, I’m not the only one who wants to ask. I’m just asking on behalf of everyone. You see, Miss Su doesn’t mind. Isn’t that right, Miss Su?” Xiao Xiao heard Father Xiao always saying that she was bad. She immediately became anxious and defended herself.
Su Meng had a faint smile on her face from the beginning to the end. Even though Xiao Xiao’s questions were very tricky, she didn’t show any signs of impatience.
When she heard Xiao Xiao ask her this question, she nodded and said, “Miss Xiao is a guest. Of course, I don’t mind guests asking questions.” After saying that, she turned her head and quietly asked Grandfather Wei, “Grandpa, look at now. Can I delay you for a little more time?”
When she was talking to Grandfather Wei, Su Meng did not have that official expression from before. Instead, she was a little mischievous.
Grandfather Wei smiled and replied in a low voice, “It’s fine. As long as you aren’t bullied, it’s fine. You can talk as much as you want. If there’s anything, just look for Grandpa. Grandpa will help you.”
Grandfather Wei had long seen through Su Meng’s intentions. He knew in his heart that this girl was very shrewd. She was intentionally making Xiao Xiao continue to lose face.
But at the same time, Grandfather Wei also discovered a problem. If he didn’t feel wrong, he discovered that Su Meng had changed a little.
If it was in the past, Su Meng would definitely not do things that deliberately made things difficult for others. No matter how that person bullied her, she would laugh it off. But now, Su Meng seemed to have some more edges and corners on her body. She knew that she had to be rude to people who made things difficult for her.
Grandfather Wei smiled with relief. This was good. It saved Su Meng from being bullied. It didn’t matter even if Su Meng caused trouble. In any case, she had him.
Knowing that Su Meng could handle it at the moment, Grandfather Wei was in the mood to watch the show.
After receiving Grandfather Wei’s permission, Su Meng then turned to Father Xiao and said, “Uncle Xiao, since Xiao Xiao has a problem, you should let her finish asking first. After the banquet is over, I will leave. At that time, she won’t have the chance. Moreover, what she asked isn’t a big matter. I’m happy to answer. So, if you don’t have anything urgent, let her ask first.”
Facing Su Meng’s words, Father Xiao, who was already nervous, didn’t know how to answer. His mind went blank.
At this moment… Grandfather Wei interrupted, “Mr. Xiao, sit down. This is their junior’s business. Why should our elders get involved? Children’s temperaments are like this. If they have doubts in their hearts, they will just ask. It will be fine once they are solved. Come, come. Everyone, ignore these two children and start eating as you please.”
Hearing Grandfather Wei’s words, some people picked up their knives and forks. However, they did not have any intention of eating. Instead, they continued to look at Xiao Xiao and the others.
Father Xiao saw that Grandfather Wei had already opened his mouth to speak, so he did not know what to say.
This was Grandfather Wei’s birthday banquet, and even Grandfather Wei didn’t mind it. If he kept saying something, wouldn’t he not give face to Grandfather Wei?
Su Meng continued to ask Father Wei, “Uncle Xiao, is it okay?”
Father Xiao nodded stiffly, and the corners of his mouth forced out a trace of a smile as he said, “It’s okay. Then I’ll have to trouble Miss Su. This daughter of mine is really insensible. Don’t mind if she says something harsh.”
“It’s alright. Don’t worry, Uncle Xiao. Quickly sit down. This time, you have to sit properly. Be careful not to fall again,” Su Meng reminded him considerately.
Looking at Father Xiao’s expression as if he had eaten a fly, Su Meng apologized in her heart. ‘I’m sorry. Your daughter made things difficult for me first. Then, don’t blame me for retaliating against her.’ At the same time, she sighed in her heart. It felt really good to use a fox to intimidate a tiger. If it wasn’t for Grandfather Wei, these people wouldn’t have cared about her.
After Father Xiao sat down, Xiao Xiao continued to ask Su Meng questions. Every question was aimed at making Su Meng lose face, but they were all skillfully resolved by Su Meng.
Su Meng didn’t mind being put in a difficult position by Xiao Xiao because she knew that if she kept pestering the host to speak, it would affect the other guests. Then the one who would lose face would only be Xiao Xiao, not her, because it was obvious that she was the one who was put in a difficult position.
Sure enough, someone began to whisper to express their dissatisfaction with Xiao Xiao. Su Meng’s smile became even more gentle.
Mother Xiao saw that Father Xiao did not succeed in stopping Xiao Xiao, she scolded him, “Why can’t you even handle such a small matter! Where is that imposing manner that you usually have at home in the company? Why did it disappear just like that? Miss Su is not Grandfather Wei. Why do I feel that you are even so afraid of Miss Su?”
