Chapter 124: Back to the Su Family

"I still have Plan B!"

Ye Shu not only booked a hotel, but also reserved a standalone small doll castle. He plans that after a successful proposal, Su Yu and Liang Yan can go there to play. He can use the large doll as a screen to court, and the two kids can play to their heart's content! Su Xi, who came along to watch the children, can also work in the relatively quiet atmosphere.

Qin Tao drove to the address Ye Shu gave. When they arrived at the gate, they saw a long caution tape, and a security guard stepped forward, "This area is temporarily closed; you who are with children should not go in, find another place to play."

Su Yu saw police officers in uniform coming and going, and a group of reporters snapping photos with "click click", as if something big had happened.

"What's going on?"

Ye Shu was stunned! The B plan he had high hopes for also ran into trouble?

The security guard had already walked to the next car to advise people, and didn't hear Ye Shu's question.

Qin Tao went down to inquire, and when he returned his expression was complicated.

"Someone dug up here," Qin Tao saw the two kids in the car and changed his wording, "They dug up a person who had been missing for a long time. Relevant personnel are checking other plots, looking for that person's accomplices. It is said that the group is linked to a case from over twenty years ago, a pair of parents who lost their child traced this place. The parents of children related to that case are arriving one after another. Now the entire Doll City area is sealed off, and no one knows when it will reopen."

What Qin Tao didn't say is that even if it reopens, the Doll City's business could plunge dramatically.

With something like this, a doll city full of a joyful atmosphere could be portrayed by attention‑seeking netizens or rival operators as a haunted place.

Can parents still feel comfortable bringing their children to a place like this?

People are still somewhat superstitious!

Fortunately their company focuses on the Qingshan development project, and General Manager Su didn't acquire this land, otherwise they might have lost money!

Ye Shu sighed, "Pity the hearts of parents all over the world!"

It's been over twenty years, and they still haven't given up searching for their child, and they finally found this place. It's clear that the parents truly love their child. Unfortunately what they found was a corpse, so the clues are likely dead‑ended. A corpse that's been there for over twenty years—no matter how much evidence is on it, it will all vanish with time!

【I really want to tell you, rather than pitying that pair of parents, you should pity yourself for being unable to propose. But saying that in this atmosphere is indeed a bit cold. Never mind, let love be whatever it is!】

The car stayed still, Liang Yan felt the atmosphere was off and whispered, "Uncle, aren't we leaving yet?"

Liang Yan saw the caution tape from afar and barely understood that something had happened inside, so they couldn't go in to see the dolls. Then why stay here? They could just talk while driving!

Ye Shu suddenly stood up, "Aoo! No, such a big incident happened here, why is no one discussing a refund or rescheduling with me?!"

Tears welled in Ye Shu's eyes, and with a "hiss" he touched the small bump on his head caused by the car roof, and angrily said, "I told everyone it's for a proposal; they're not going to just tidy it up for me, are they?"

Ye Shu pulled out his phone, "tap tap" typing quickly, contacting the person in charge of the Doll City.

The phone soon emitted a "ding-ding" sound, indicating the other side was sending Ye Shu a message.

【I really want to go over and see what they're saying!】

Wulongcha floated over for a glance, then floated back to Su Yu's side, 【Stop thinking about it, I looked, everything's been pixelated!】

【Ye Shu cursed so filthy? I saw it and will tell you, will it still be pixelated? Uncle Ye probably doesn't mind me watching.】

Su Yu shifted her hips, trying to inch forward to take a look.

【Your big uncle objects, he's watching you!】

Su Yu stopped the little movement, turned her head toward Su Xi in the front row, and Su Xi was indeed looking at her.

【Big uncle, why are you staring at me for no reason?】

Ye Shu suddenly let out a roar, startling Su Yu and Liang Yan.

"Damn, they really want to fleece me, the sucker!"

Su Xi calmly reminded, "Don't use profanity!"

Su Yu and Liang Yan both glanced sharply at Ye Shu.

Ye Shu shut his mouth, but he was too angry—brows knit, eyes reddened, veins bulging on his hands. In the chat box with his legal team he cursed the unscrupulous merchant a hundred and eighty times, demanding strongly that they must not let the other side get away!

Thinking of the string of unlucky events today, "What kind of place this lousy wedding‑celebration company chose, it's practically haunted! No, they have to give me an explanation!"

Ye Shu switched to another chat window and kept cursing.

The wedding‑celebration company's contact probably started with frantic apologies, "ding-ding" sending messages to Ye Shu, and in the end only Ye Shu's "beep-beep" typing could be heard, as if he'd given up and let the ridicule continue.

Both venues were unsuitable, and Ye Shu didn't want to bring the painting back home to worry his parents, so he could only return with Su Xi to the Su family manor.

Back at the Su Family, Su Yu got out of the car a step later and saw Ye Shu talking to Su Xi, while Su Xi was walking away quickly, looking like he was trying to avoid them.

"Little sister Xiao Yu, where shall we go to play?"

Seeing they were heading to the study, Su Yu turned her step toward the side car and said, "Let's go to the amusement park!"

"Sure!"

The butler drove, taking Su Yu and Liang Yan to the amusement park.

After the two of them rode a round of regular rides, Su Yu's gaze landed on the sand area.

"Huo Huo, do you want to play with sand?"

Liang Yan looked at the soft sand, curious. She had heard Su Yu say before that stepping into sand feels quite pleasant.

"Butler uncle, what are you doing?"

Su Yu watched helplessly as the butler fenced off the sand area with a railing.

"Miss Xiao Yu, would you like to go somewhere else to play?"

The butler could not even think about how pale Su Xi's face would turn if he learned Su Yu had taken Liang Yan to play in the sand. Considering his bonus, it was better for the two of them not to play.

"If we don't play that, shall we go fishing?"

Su Yu showed an expectant look, and Liang Yan also silently stared at the butler.

The butler hesitated a bit, "Playing with water? That seems a little risky!"

"Hold on, let me ask the Eldest Young Master!"

The butler stepped a little farther away and made a call.

He quickly returned, asking in a gentle voice, "Miss Xiao Yu, which side's pond would you like to go to?"

"This side!"

Su Yu grabbed Liang Yan's hand and ran toward the newly discovered spot.

"Huo Huo, look, there are so many fish here!"

Su Yu took Liang Yan to the side of a big pit that was clearly dug out.

The butler's face turned green!

"Miss Xiao Yu, the pond is over there!"

You don't play in the proper pond; why must you play beside the construction pit?

Is the corridor by the pond not fragrant? Or has Miss Xiao Yu inherited Second Young Master's mud attribute and wants to play with mud?

The butler looked down; this pit is indeed strange—why are the water plants growing so fast underneath? The fish have all swum over here.

"But this place is connected!"

Su Yu pointed at the pond, then at the big pit. Indeed, there is a large gap between the two.

Could the butler not know? But this spot is unsuitable!
