Chapter 129: Key Point

Su Yu gritted her teeth, "I'm not curious!"

【Heh, I know what you want to say, but you may not say it!】

When my work hits a bottleneck, having someone beside me who does nothing yet keeps nagging really affects my mood and makes it hard to stay calm and keep thinking!

She's in a bad mood and wants someone to keep her company; the prime culprit Ye Shu is the most suitable! If she doesn't go along with Ye Shu's questions, his mood is bound to be bad too!

At this moment, Su Yu admires Su Xi. In the past, he somehow wasn't affected by her or Ye Shu, and his daily efficiency was always maxed out!

Ye Shu's expression was indifferent, "Alright."

Ye Shu pretended to be quiet for a few minutes. He randomly scrolled his phone. The only sound left in the office was the rustle of pen against paper.

Ye Shu poked Su Yu, "You really aren't paying attention to me?"

Su Yu snapped the pen, hand on her hip, frowned at Ye Shu, "Who exactly is three years old here?"

"Me!"

Su Yu was choked.

【How shameless must one be to say that?】

Ye Shu let out a silent laugh as he collapsed onto the sofa; seeing Su Yu about to get angry, he hurriedly said, "Don't be mad. Let me tell you about what happened to our family; that person is even more shameless than I am!"

【You even know you're shameless!】

But Su Yu was very curious: they had agreed to propose at Ye Shu's place, so why did it become at their place? Did the Ye family also dig up some bones?

"You don't know, my mother's surname is Xu; she's a member of the Xu family. The Xu family is more united than you can imagine. Though she's from a side branch, her relationship with the main line is also very good."

The current Ye Shu can't even imagine the era his parents talked about. Would anyone truly, because of a secret code and shared clan identity, devote themselves to arranging everything within their means for their kin, facing hardships together without giving up? Such sincere feeling—or perhaps a pure sense of belonging—must be as rare as phoenix feathers in this age.

Even if he and Su Xi have grown up together, he still couldn't help Su Xi in that way.

Su Yu was busy rescuing the documents polluted by ink leaking from the pen she smashed, not listening carefully, and tossed out, "Take your time. Speak the main point before you talk to me. Or repeat it later."

At that instant, Ye Shu didn't want to continue speaking. What to say? Say it twice to vent his own anger?

Ye Shu stepped in to help Su Yu clean the desk, and finally Su Yu was in the mood to listen.

"You messed up so many files, and your dad didn't scold you!"

That remark made it sound as if Su Xi hitting her were normal! Su Yu's hand twitched; she seemed to hold a grudge against Ye Shu—either she traps him, or he tries to trap her.

"Is there a chance these are my own documents?"

Su Yu hasn't had time to look at the company's files; there are just too many and too boring. She had Wulongcha scan them all, to read later when she has time.

Ye Shu raised an eyebrow in surprise, "You really do seem like an heir; some people aren't even as good as your three‑year‑old self!"

"What aren't they better than me?"

"There's a woman you probably don't know. The point is they want to wipe out a family line, but they refuse any superficial effort, relying on close blood ties, yet they dare to question my mother. What is she? She thinks marrying into the Qi family makes her a phoenix?"

Ye Shu truly didn't know where Ji Xiaoling got the nerve to knock on the door under the names of the Ji and Xu families. Is it because she wants to marry into the Qi family, or because she's lucky to have a third aunt from the main Xu lineage?

She knows nothing yet wants to meddle in the Ji family's company, just because the Ji family has only her as a girl left? Is a girl so precious in a Ji family full of boys?

Su Xi silently had Meng Xianle investigate Su Yu's inner thoughts, the Ji family's young master and that actress's matter; after the investigation, he sent the news to Ye Shu—that was his order.

Ye Shu still didn't know he had been set up.

He was truly bitterly angry! He even regretted his impulsiveness. If he had left more time for the proposal, his parents wouldn't have moved things around the house, nor would they have uncovered the Ji family's scandal and been drawn into that conflict.

Su Yu listened to two sentences and found it meaningless; Ye Shu was venting, never getting to the point. How do you "eat the last household"? Why question his mother? He never explained any of that!

One thousand words, plus the previous ones total four thousand words; today's update is complete. Goodnight, darlings~
