Chapter 867

True or False Heiress: Becoming a Vicious Supporting Female Character (30)

Chu Xiang noticed that the driver was visibly startled for a moment when he saw her standing with Shao Yan. Although the driver quickly regained composure, she could still sense his surprise, as if he couldn’t understand why the young master of the Shao family would interact with someone else.

This actually amused Chu Xiang. Shao Yan, with his condition being described as autism but not complete social withdrawal, must have tried various methods to overcome it. From his current state, it was evident that the results were not favorable.

As a doctor, Chu Xiang felt a strong curiosity about his condition. She smiled at him and said, “Do you really want to invite me to your house?”

Shao Yan remained silent, just looking at her. Chu Xiang tilted her head and said, “If you don’t speak, I don’t know what you mean. How about this, if you want me to go to your house, just grab my sleeve and take me to the car. Otherwise, if you don’t invite me, I definitely won’t go.”

Chu Xiang glanced at her watch. “If you don’t respond, I’ll leave.”

As she was about to leave, she felt her sleeve being pulled. Chu Xiang turned around and saw Shao Yan with his lips pressed into a straight line, holding onto her sleeve tightly, and walking toward the car with his back facing her.

Chu Xiang looked up at the driver, who was staring intently at Shao Yan’s hand, his eyes almost popping out in astonishment!

Once the car was on the road, the driver couldn’t resist his curiosity and kept glancing at them through the rearview mirror. After a while, Shao Yan pressed a partition button, isolating the driver in the front.

Chu Xiang flipped through her homework, getting a rough idea of how much she needed to write that evening. Then she smiled at Shao Yan and said, “When we arrive at your house, you’ll be the host, and I’ll be the guest. Have you thought about how you’re going to entertain me? I’m sure you haven’t, right? Well, think about it now. What kind of meal, fruits, drinks do you want to offer me? And what games do you want to play with me? You can’t just let me sit there at your house, right? If it’s not interesting, I won’t come next time.”

Not interesting, and she won’t come again?

Shao Yan looked outside the window in distress. How should he entertain a guest? He didn’t know, he had never paid attention.

Should he just give her all his best possessions? Would that be enough?

The driver could still faintly hear their conversation, so when he heard that the young girl wasn’t willing to go to the Shao residence, but the young master was coaxing her to come, he perked up his ears. This was a groundbreaking event! The young master of their household was hosting a guest, and that was definitely a big deal!

Taking advantage of the partition, with Shao Yan unable to see the front, the driver used the car phone to call Shao Yan’s mother. Speaking in a whisper, he said, “Madam, the young master has invited a classmate home. He values her very much.”

Upon hearing his low voice, Shao Yan’s mother immediately knew that he didn’t want Shao Yan to know. Considering the timing of their conversation, right after school on the way home, she asked simply, “Is it a male classmate or a female classmate?”

“A female classmate. She said if nothing is interesting, she won’t come next time.”

“I see. Take care and stay safe.” Mrs. Shao ended the call, feeling somewhat excited. It had been ten years, and Shao Yan had never made any friends. Now, he was actually bringing a female classmate home. Whatever the reason, she was determined to make sure her son’s friend was well taken care of.

Mrs. Shao first informed the housekeeper through the internal line, and then she informed her husband at the company. Ever since Shao Yan experienced that incident, she had stepped down from her position at the company and stayed home to take care of him. She only worked remotely from home when Shao Yan was at school.

This put a lot of pressure on Mr. Shao, who was the chairman of the Shao Corporation. He had heavy work responsibilities and hadn’t taken a break in several years. Today, when he received the phone call, he was in a meeting. The people in the conference room were astonished to see the chairman’s expression change, and then he announced the meeting’s adjournment. After that, he left early.

The traffic congestion in the city of Beijing was severe, and Mr. Shao was stuck halfway, feeling extremely anxious. Every few minutes, he would call Mrs. Shao to ask if their son had arrived home and what his friend was like. He wanted to know why he suddenly invited a female classmate.

At first, Mrs. Shao was excitedly discussing with him what they should do, but later she became annoyed and simply blocked his calls, refusing to respond.

It was the first time they were hosting their son’s friend, and she wanted to leave a gentle and kind impression. Now she was in a hurry, changing her clothes and getting ready. Who had the time to deal with her husband?

Chu Xiang had just impulsively decided to visit her desk mate’s home as a guest. She never expected it to become such a big deal.

As she entered the Shao family’s villa, the housekeeper respectfully and joyfully greeted her at the door. Then Mrs. Shao, wearing a softly colored dress, approached with a warm smile. “Xiao Yan, you’re back. Is this your good friend? Hello, I’m Shao Yan’s mother. You can call me Mommy Shao.”

Chu Xiang was taken aback for a moment. Why would she call her “Mommy” so casually? Wasn’t it more common to use “Aunt” or “Auntie” under the current circumstances?
