Chapter 127: The Proposal Venue Taken Over by Mom and Dad

She is your blood‑related grandmother.

What?

Su Yu almost opened her eyes. Because she was startled, her movements were a bit exaggerated, and Ji Yan quickly patted her back, soothing her.

Su Yu adjusted her posture slightly and thought, "How could she have been buried there? How long has she been buried?"

Ji Yan also wanted to know. Why would her actual mother‑in‑law have been buried there?

I don't know; the police are still investigating. The autopsy report hasn't been released, and I can't find it either.

Su Yu felt a bit discouraged and said, "Alright."

Su Yu began rummaging through the plot in her mind and thought, "I've thought for so long and still haven't figured out when she died! The story never mentions it at all!"

Wulongcha noticed that Su Yu seemed interested in gossip. Even her demeanor steadied a lot when dealing with gossip, so it voluntarily said, "Host, do you know that Ji Yan's adoptive parents are about to be prosecuted?"

That quickly? Have all the crimes they committed been clarified?

Su Yu thought that these two had committed many misdeeds; could it be that they were being handled lightly? That seemed unlikely—public opinion wouldn't let them off.

They voluntarily disclosed everything they had done. Whatever they remembered, they said.

Voluntarily confessing to this extent, is it to reduce their sentence?

Su Yu couldn't even imagine. She had assumed they'd have to go through all sorts of trouble to find evidence, spend money to smooth connections, and grind people to death, but it happened so quickly!

No, they want to get into prison early to escape gambling debts. Their precious son owes a huge sum. If they don't get into a cell soon, they might have to live out in the wilderness or at a black coal mine.

Wulongcha originally wanted to mention that Ji Yan's adoptive parents haven't given up on her, and the enemy of Ji Yan's adoptive brother also wants the brother and his parents' bodies.

Physically, that's what they want.

But the Su Family is unwilling to intervene, let alone let anyone help. After Ji Yan's adoptive parents see the reality, they chose the biggest thigh—the state prison.

But seeing Su Yu finally regain her spirit, it swallowed the words again. It didn't even say anything that would affect Su Yu's morale; just letting her know that those relatives actually have the nerve to beg Ji Yan made her angry again. Be less angry, be happier; that's better for her health!

Su Yu was puzzled and asked, "Gambling debts? When we reported earlier, didn't they get arrested? Those gambling debts are illegal, shouldn't they count?"

Gambling is illegal!

They're not stupid; they've already changed the name to legitimize those debts.

How could the people who set up this scheme not know? Once a regular IOU is signed, any debt becomes legitimate. Locals can even use land as collateral for debt!

Would that involve my mother?

Su Yu knew Ji Yan had cut ties with that family. But those who would risk their lives for money might not think that way. Moreover, once you hand over a sum for temporary security, you'll later be trapped by that trash.

It probably won't. Your elder uncle already arranged for people to erase anything related to Ji Yan. Unless your mother steps forward herself, no one can touch her.

Wulongcha, upon reaching this point, also checked, "Previously a lot of gossip claimed that she was struggling in a wealthy family, and she didn't respond online, so paparazzi couldn't do anything to her? As long as she stays indoors, no matter what methods others have, they can't implement them. Over time, those people will lose heart."

They focus on a war of attrition, seeing who can outlast whom! If the Ji Yan topic doesn't bring in money, they naturally stop paying attention.

But Mom recently went over to Dad's side; she can't stay at home all the time. She might become unhappy and gradually become depressed.

Wulongcha was puzzled, "Your family could be considered a small residential complex; how can you be said to stay at home all the time in such a large place?"

You don't understand! Mom's previous environment was completely different from now; what if she can't adapt? I'm still young, and Mom has nowhere to confide when she faces problems.

I want Mom to play with Mingmeng auntie and the others. But it doesn't seem to work well. I don't know if Mom will like playing with Xie auntie!

When Xie Xin Yi was mentioned, Su Yu thought of Ye Shu, "He's really unlucky! Both the hotel and the doll city had problems."

Wulongcha actually thought Ye Shu was quite lucky.

He may also be unlucky, but at least he didn't lose his life; he's fine. Along the way, he barely got any injuries.

What do you mean?

The hotel you were staying at caught fire shortly after you left. It was the person who blocked you who set it ablaze.

Wulongcha truly thought that hotel was also unlucky; it hadn't even experienced the feeling of layoffs cutting into the main artery before it lost its pulse. The entire hotel suffered varying degrees of burn damage and shut down immediately.

A five‑star hotel closing down—how huge the loss must be, it couldn't even imagine.

666, he's really daring! I thought he didn't look like a good person, but indeed he isn't a good person!

Right, he really isn't a good person. He relied on his family's modest money, never being a good person from childhood to adulthood. After growing up, his brother married an only daughter. At first his family was very friendly, modest, even a bit obsequious, voluntarily letting his son become a son‑in‑law. The rich lady was pleased and gave them many good things, which enlarged their appetite…

Su Yu slowly fell asleep to Wulongcha's voice.

……

"Uncle, why are you here again?"

After finishing breakfast, Su Yu watched TV in the living room and looked up at Ye Shu, who had just entered.

You've practically made our home your own! Coming and going like this, it's almost as if you could just move in.

"I have nowhere to go."

Ye Shu encountered that incident at the Su Family yesterday; that night after returning, his parents said they wanted to hold a proposal ceremony at their own place.

And this idle person who could only be a hindrance was chased out. Ye Shu didn't know where to go, so in the end he came to the Su family manor.

"You're not welcoming?"

"Not at all, I'm just worried you can't find a suitable proposal venue."

If we keep dragging this out, the wedding day might even have snow!

On the wedding day, of course the whole venue will have air‑conditioning and floor heating, but there will be moments outdoors, and Su Yu doesn't want to catch a cold.

"My parents are renovating the venue. Liang Yan might be busy with school, but you don't need to; you should be able to help anytime, right?"

Su Yu shook her head, "Not necessarily. You didn't notice, I'm at home today!"

"I haven't gone to work at all!"

Ye Shu knew he had gone to the company in vain. He suspected Su Xi had gone to deal with the corpse from yesterday, so he let Su Yu vent his anger on him!

"Anyway, just go over whenever you have time."

Ye Shu was indifferent. Since his parents took over this matter, it was out of his hands.

"Alright!"

Su Yu thought, the venue taken over by Ye Shu's parents would probably become very beautiful, right? She was full of anticipation for the venue!

After staying at home for a day, Su Yu regained her former liveliness, demanding to eat meat and disliking vegetables and fruits.

"You haven't been hit in a while, do you want to raise hell?"

"No, I just don't like eating!"

"Then you wanted fruit last time?"

Good night~
