Kissed and Seduced By the Most Rough Man in the Village-Chapter 537: Speaking Without Evidence is Barking

Su Xiaoxiao had more frequent interactions with Grandpa Zhang and Grandma Wang. Even if they had bad thoughts in their hearts, at least they appeared kind and benevolent. Unlike Zhang Zhiyuan, who, despite his efforts to appear gentle, still gave off an oppressive air of someone in a higher position.

And the Zhang family sending his brother back was such a big matter; if Zhang Zhiyuan claimed to know nothing about it, Su Xiaoxiao would never believe it.

Grandpa Zhang and Grandma Wang, clearly, had just found out that Zhang Zhiyuan had returned. The two of them were stunned for a moment. Grandpa Zhang’s face darkened as he asked, "Did the military suspend you?"

"Yeah, they temporarily let me come back to rest for a while. Now Peng Huijing is being investigated as a spy, so I need to avoid suspicion," Zhang Zhiyuan nodded.

Su Xiaoxiao listened to their conversation, nervously swallowing her saliva, trying to make herself appear more composed. At the very least, she wanted to avoid looking too gleeful.

After all, of all the investigations, the national security office’s investigation into spies was the most rigorous. If Peng Huijing really had any problems, there should be some clues to uncover.

However, her small face, which was tightly pursed, made Grandma Wang mistake her expression for fear.

"Xiaoxiao, don’t worry. Even if Peng Huijing really has some issues, it won’t affect our Zhang family much. Your Uncle Zhang never brings work home, and Grandpa Zhang hasn’t allowed her to get involved in any work matters," Grandma Wang gently took Su Xiaoxiao’s hand and patted it reassuringly.

Of course, when she said it wouldn’t have much of an impact, what she meant was demotion or dismissal.

Su Xiaoxiao and Jiang Yexun had already anticipated such outcomes when they set up their trap.

So, Su Xiaoxiao only listened to what Grandma Wang said.

"Alright, enough about these troubling matters. Let me show you the room I’ve prepared for you. Actually, I had it ready for you during the New Year," Grandma Wang said, leading Su Xiaoxiao upstairs.

Grandpa Zhang and Zhang Zhiyuan also followed them into the study, clearly to discuss something important.

Once everything was settled, Jiang Yexun sat beside the bed with his little wife.

"You rest first, I’ll go help in the kitchen."

Since this was their first day staying here, it was all too sudden, and they hadn’t even prepared any gifts. So, the only thing they could do now was cook a nice meal to avoid seeming impolite.

"Thanks for your hard work, Brother Yexun," Su Xiaoxiao said, hugging his strong waist and rubbing her head against his abdomen.

The two of them indulged in affection for a while before Jiang Yexun reluctantly left.

However, just as he had barely walked out, Zhang Xiyue immediately barged in.

"What are you doing at my house?" She asked in an unfriendly tone, her face darkened.

Su Xiaoxiao tilted her head and deliberately said arrogantly, "Grandpa Zhang and Grandma Wang invited us. And this little house should be allocated to them, right? It seems like you have no authority to make decisions or interfere."

Seeing Zhang Xiyue trembling with rage but holding herself back from exploding, Su Xiaoxiao continued to provoke, "But if you really can’t stand us, you could always go tell your grandparents and have them kick my husband and me out."

Zhang Xiyue did want to do that, but she knew it was impossible. She gritted her teeth, held back her anger, and forced a smile that was worse than crying.

"Su Xiaoxiao, I came to find you because I have something serious to discuss."

"What serious matter could we have?" Su Xiaoxiao raised an eyebrow, clearly uninterested in engaging with her.

Zhang Xiyue, seeing this country bumpkin dare act so arrogantly toward her, really wanted to burst into a tirade.

But then, she thought about how her mother and brother had already fallen into the trap. If she were to openly quarrel with this country bumpkin, it could very well be her next.

So, Zhang Xiyue could only force a smile, one that looked more like it was made from gritted teeth.

"I know my brother and mother’s matters are actually related to you. But as they say, enemies are easier to reconcile than grudges to resolve, so I hope you can find a way to let this matter slide. You and your husband can propose a reconciliation request, and our family will do everything we can to accommodate you."

As soon as she finished speaking, she realized that Su Xiaoxiao was looking at her as if she were a fool.

"You really think so highly of me and my husband! But we’re just ordinary people. Your mom and brother were arrested because they broke the law. It’s not like we can change the country’s laws," Su Xiaoxiao said, with a mocking smile.

"You must have a way!" Zhang Xiyue, seeing that Su Xiaoxiao wasn’t willing to help her, grabbed her hand in agitation.

Her grip was so strong that it caused Su Xiaoxiao to wince in pain.

"Let go, you’re hurting me," Su Xiaoxiao frowned, sounding irritated.

If this were anyone else, she would have already slapped them.

But when Zhang Xiyue heard her words, she tightened her grip even more.

"No! Unless you promise to help me find a way to save my mom and brother. And don’t think you can get away with it now. The person who lured my brother to the casino had contact with you before. My mother’s arrest is also related to you. Grandpa and Grandma are still slow to react, but once they figure it out, you and your husband will definitely pay the price."

Her threat was almost frantic.

In reality, Zhang Xiyue wasn’t so concerned about Zhang Hanyu and Peng Huijing.

What truly worried her was that once this matter involved spies, both her grandfather and father would be affected.

She had already lost face in front of so many friends, and if the Zhang family fell, she would be completely cut off from the upper circle.

Who could she rely on then?

She feared that even an ordinary worker wouldn’t dare marry her.

Unfortunately, she was too foolish. She had no evidence, not even a real bargaining chip, and yet she came to Su Xiaoxiao with this nonsense.

"It’s fine. You don’t need to wait for your grandparents or your father to gradually realize things. You can just go tell them directly and see if they’ll believe what you say," Su Xiaoxiao sneered sarcastically.
