Chapter 158 A MAN OF WORD PART 6

Miss Su Xi finally stopped crying and sighed. "I'm all alone in this world." She looked dejected.

"Who said that you are alone?" Mo Xuan aka Xue Lin asked. There was a teasing smile on her face.

Miss Su Xi looked at her and asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"

She replied, "If you were alone, you wouldn't have the time to wear such luxurious clothes and jewelry. If you were uncared for, you wouldn't have had the time to come to this place. You would be busy earning money, cooking, and staying alive."

Xue Lin smiled and continued, "Dearest, you are very blessed to have a family who gives you money and let you do whatever you want. Granted, they seem to be distanced from you. However, if they truly never cared for you, would they have let you stay under the same roof as them? Would they have let you enjoy the same meal as them? Would they have let you wear these luxurious clothes? Would they have let you own a brand new car?"

"My dear princess, you have no idea how lucky you are to have a family who can provide you anything you want; who can fulfill the needs you have. Just think for a second, how many people can afford the luxury to have a personal nanny for them?" Xue Lin leaned back and relaxed on the couch. Still holding a soft, gentle smile she asked, "Dear, have you ever thanked them for what they did for you all these years?"

"That's…" Miss Su Xi couldn't say a word. Her eyes were mesmerizingly looking at Xue Lin's grey eyes. That pair of grey eyes were so deep that she was being drawn to them like metal to a magnet.

She thought of her parents and half-brother. She remembered their dark expressions whenever they saw her. She closed her eyes tightly and said, "But I want to be loved. How can I get love from them?"

Xue Lin patted her back. "My dear, there are two types of love. One type is where a person says "I love you…. I love you" repeatedly and say more sweet words to you but that lover's love isn't deep at all. The other type is, a person won't say anything at all, maybe a bit boring too, but that lover will give up everything for you. Your parents don't show it but they definitely care for you."

Mo Xuan aka Xue Lin leaned close to her. They were so close that their noses touched. Miss Su Xi blushed at her close proximity. "Do you want me to help you get their love and attention?"

Upon hearing her suggestions, Miss Su Xi's eyes widened in surprise. Soon after, her eyes sparkled as if she was given a Christmas present. Her heart was filled with hope. She held Xue Lin's hand and asked, "Will you… will you truly help me?"

She completely forgot about Alex who was sitting beside him. He had a hard time keeping a straight face. He wanted to glare at the 'brat' Mo Xuan aka Xue Lin to the point she would burn and beg him for mercy.

Mo Xuan aka Xue Lin nodded. "Hmm, I will. However, I have one condition."

Miss Su Xi asked, "What is it? As long as it's money, I can-"

"I don't need your money," Xue Lin interrupted her. She placed her index finger on the girl's lips and whispered softly, "What I want is your absolute obedience."

Miss Su Xi nearly had a nosebleed. She nodded continuously as if she was possessed. "I will. I will listen to you."

Xue Lin was pleased with her answer, "Excellent! Shall I start then?"

"Sure!"

Xue Lin unfolded the plan, "First of all, you have to have a conversation with them. Whenever you are together with them, you should talk to them. To have a long conversation and to make them interested in joining your conversation, you have to learn about their interests. Since your father and brother are businessmen and your mother likes shopping and spa, bring up those topics and talk to them. You won't just do it once or twice; you have to do it every day. That means you have to keep up with current news."

"E-every day?" Miss Su Xi gulped. She didn't have the slightest interest in the business. How could she do what Xue Min said?

"Can't you do it for the people who gave you free food, free shelter, and free luxury? This is the least you can do, my princess." Seeing the hesitant 'princess', Xue Lin added, "If you don't want to recoil and stay alone like this forever and let go of your future happiness, you are most welcome to do so." She shrugged. "In the end, you might lose even what you have."

Miss Su Xi hurriedly said, "N-no, I'll do it. I'll talk to them every day. How about I talk about their hobbies?"

"As long as you can keep up with it," Xue Lin agreed. "How about you start today? Join them for dinner and have a small chat. And, don't forget to show your lovable smile at them. Your lovely smile will brighten their day for sure. You can count on my judgment."

"I- I will do it. I will go back now and call them all to come home soon," Miss Su Xi nodded. She shyly grabbed Xue Lin's hands and said, "Thank you so much Mo Xuan!"

"Please don't thank me so soon. There will be situations when you won't succeed but you cannot be discouraged by that and you must fire yourself up to go to a greater length. You might make mistakes but don't be dispirited. Just learn from your mistakes and move on. Good luck!" Xue Lin took her right hand and kissed on the back of her hand.

Girls around them enviously looked at Miss Su Xi.

"I want Mo Xuan to be with me."

"I want his soft lips on my hands too."

"He looks young but he is a charming lad."

"…" Alex silently looked at Xue Lin who successfully caught the customers' attention.
