Chapter 803: Chapter 804: You’re Overthinking It

After those two servants passed by, Zhao Rui immediately asked in a low voice, "They actually called you Lady Lin, do you have such a high status here?"

Lin Su’er said somewhat embarrassedly, "I can’t help it, it’s the rule here, I don’t want them to treat me like this either."

"Rules... The rules of the Su Family are quite strict," Zhao Rui’s mouth twitched slightly.

Lin Su’er led several people to a small villa and said, "This is the guest room; you all will stay here today."

"This whole villa is for us to stay in?" Song Qing’s mouth twitched again.

Lin Su’er immediately said apologetically, "Today, some of the Su Family members have come back, so they are staying in several of the main villas, which is why you can only stay in this smaller villa."

Song Qing said hurriedly, "It’s not small at all! I’m just surprised that such a large villa is available for us to stay in; it’s way too luxurious."

Zhao Rui also nodded repeatedly, saying, "Yes, yes, we’re just too surprised. Such a large villa could accommodate many people; having only the four of us here is really too extravagant, perhaps you should arrange a more modest place for us. If other Su Family members come over and there’s nowhere for them to stay, wouldn’t that be troublesome for you?"

Lin Su’er smiled sweetly and said, "That won’t happen, you guys can rest easy here."

Seeing Lin Su’er’s confidence, everyone couldn’t help but feel a bit anxious, but if someone else comes to stay, they could always move out; enjoying it for the time being is like having a taste of luxury, anyway.

"Where’s Song Xiaodong?" Zhao Rui asked again.

Lin Su’er said, "Dongzi still has some things to take care of and will come over later. Let me show you the rooms first; you can stay in whichever one you like."

Zhou Pingqing and the others felt something was odd; a driver, what else does he need to take care of? Just parking the car should be enough.

However, they didn’t feel it was appropriate to ask further, and continued to follow Lin Su’er around the villa.

Although it was only a two-story small villa, there were four rooms upstairs, each with an independent bathroom, and the facilities inside were quite luxurious, almost comparable to the executive suites in five-star hotels.

Standing inside the room, one could see the outside view from the floor-to-ceiling windows. Now with the windows open, the gentle breeze was coming in, an indescribable comfortable joy.

Most importantly, the four of them had the villa to themselves, which was even better than a five-star hotel.

"Madam, the Family Head is asking for you," a servant said to Lin Su’er while coming upstairs.

"Alright, I’ll go right away." Lin Su’er nodded, then said to Zhao Rui and the others, "Dongzi has called for me; I will go over first and come back soon. You all can take your time and look around here, no need to be polite."

"You go ahead, you’re busy," Zhao Rui and Song Qing quickly said.

The four sent Lin Su’er down the stairs, and after she left, Zhao Rui and Song Qing immediately started to exclaim excitedly, throwing themselves onto the sofa.

"Wow, I can’t believe it, we’re actually in the Su Family Courtyard."

"Yeah, yeah, we’re even staying in a villa inside the Su Family Courtyard; if we told others, they wouldn’t believe it at all."

However, Zhou Pingqing was frowning at that moment and said, "Did you guys pay attention to what that servant told Lin Su’er just now?"

"What did they say?" Yang Yong asked, puzzled.

Zhou Pingqing said, "Just now, that servant mentioned that the Family Head asked Lin Su’er to come over, but did you guys notice what Lin Su’er actually said?"

"What did Lin Su’er say?" Zhao Rui and the others hadn’t paid much attention since they were busy admiring the room’s setup.

Zhou Pingqing continued, "Lin Su’er said, ’Dongzi told me to come over, I’ll go first.’ She said it was Dongzi who asked her to go, but the servant mentioned it was the Family Head asking her to come. Doesn’t that mean Song Xiaodong is actually the Family Head?"

The group was taken aback for a moment, then Zhao Rui quickly responded, "Impossible, impossible, you really have some imagination; how could Song Xiaodong possibly be the Family Head? He’s not even a Su by surname."

Song Qing also said, "Exactly, and besides, he’s so young, how could he possibly be the Su Family’s Family Head?"

After being questioned by the two, Zhou Pingqing also felt his speculation might be overreaching and laughed it off, saying, "Perhaps I’ve thought too much."

Zhao Rui gave Zhou Pingqing a disdainful look, saying, "That was indeed far-fetched."

Song Qing suggested, "Let’s go, let’s go upstairs and choose our rooms."

The four of them went back upstairs, quickly picked out two rooms, and in such a nice environment, both couples felt the urge to be intimate. But in the end, they held back. It would be awkward if Lin Su’er showed up right then.

Everyone tidied up a bit, then went downstairs again. They wanted to go out for a stroll, but were afraid of the many rules here; causing trouble for Lin Su’er and Song Xiaodong was the last thing they wanted.

So the four of them simply chatted in the living room while the servants had already sent over various fruits and drinks, which was enjoyment enough.

"Oh right, we just got fifty thousand yuan to remember to give to Lin Su’er later," Zhou Pingqing brought up all of a sudden.

Guo Rui immediately agreed, "Yes, we can’t keep this money."

Song Qing said, "We were lucky to have met Song Xiaodong this time, otherwise we would have been at a big loss."

"Hmph, these people are really bullies. But thinking about Su Yuya’s imposing manner, I’m so envious," Song Qing couldn’t help but express her admiration.

Zhao Rui nodded repeatedly, adding, "Exactly, that demeanor, that authority, it’s truly captivation. With a mere gesture and a movement, the other party has to bow in submission. Being a woman of such stature is simply enviable."

Zhou Pingqing hurriedly warned, "Hey, be careful what you say. If someone hears us calling her by her name directly, we would be committing a taboo."

Zhao Rui and Song Qing instantly became vigilant, nodding repeatedly. Regarding such matters, they dared not continue their candid comments.

After sitting there for about half an hour, Song Xiaodong and Lin Su’er arrived together.

"Sorry for the delay, something came up, my apologies," Song Xiaodong greeted everyone with a smile.

Zhao Rui smiled and said, "You two really are busy people. But it’s alright, this villa is so nice that even if we were to stay here for a whole day, we wouldn’t get bored."

Song Xiaodong smiled and suggested, "Then let’s go outside for a walk."

Everyone promptly followed Song Xiaodong and Lin Su’er out of the villa. The servants at the door immediately bowed respectfully to Song Xiaodong and Lin Su’er, saying, "Family Head! Lady Lin!"

Zhao Rui, Song Qing, Zhou Pingqing, and Yang Yong halted in their tracks, then all turned to stone. This time they heard it loud and clear, without any mistake—the servants were addressing the Family Head, and it was directed at Song Xiaodong!
