Chapter 137: The Person Behind the Scenes

Why has the search taken so long this time? She's almost at the doorstep.

【This auction is co‑hosted by the Yin family and the Xu family; on the surface it's run by them, but I found traces of Lu Zhongda from the Lu family being involved.】

Su Yu heard a familiar name and, puzzled, looked at Wulongcha, who was resting on her lap, 【Lu Zhongda? He's the ex‑boyfriend of Xie Xin Yi?】

【Yes, but he didn't act himself; he tricked Xu Jun into doing it.】

Wulongcha sounded proud! It's a system; Lu Zhongda can hide things from people but not from it! The person secretly helping Xu Jun is connected to Lu Zhongda. Moreover, in this auction the Lu family, riding on the Yin and Xu families, made a profit of more than half. The remaining half is still in the red, but the Lu family won't collapse.

【Xu Jun, does she have any relation to Ye Shu's mother?】

Su Yu remembered that Ye Shu's mother also has the surname Xu. Earlier Ye Shu seemed to have said the Xu family is very united. If Xu Jun is also from the Xu family, should they try to leak some information?

【Xie Xin Yi hasn't told Xu Jun about Lu Zhongda using her? Anything from the Lu family is bad luck once you touch it. She doesn't even look, how many "female friends" has Lu Zhongda sacrificed? He still dares to get close—he must be crazy!】

Wulongcha had wanted to spill this gossip for a while but never found a chance, 【She thinks she's special! Lu Zhongda told her that later he'd hold a grand wedding, marry her, and make her the matriarch of the Lu family! Xu Jun has no idea that every time Lu Zhongda plans a sacrifice and squeezes someone to death, he tells that woman he'll marry her!】

Wulongcha truly doesn't understand Xu Jun's choices! Lu Zhongda clearly had her help chase after Xie Xin Yi, so how can she still believe his nonsense?!

Throwing the blame onto love, love will feel aggrieved!

Humans might really have species diversity!

Su Yu suddenly thought of the Xie family returning to the country and this auction, 【The Xie family's return must be to move overseas assets back home. Lu Zhongda also has dirty money; his approach to Xie Xin Yi might not be a rekindled romance but a way to channel the funds back through legitimate means?】

【That's possible.】

Wulongcha doesn't care. As long as it doesn't affect Su Yu or the Su family, it's fine.

【You still haven't told me whether Xu Jun is related to the Xu family!】

【No, just the same surname. If she were truly a Xu family member, she'd have been locked up already. Over at Ye Shu's side there seem to be files on girls Lu Zhongda has flirted with. Whatever Ye Shu knows, his parents definitely know too. The two Xu families aren't close enough; the Ye side didn't even inform the Xu family.】

Su Yu thought Ye Shu handled this nicely, 【When facing a love rival, Ye Shu is really impressive!】

All the data has been verified!

Why doesn't my elder uncle learn a thing!

Since Qin Yuanjun fell into a trap this time, stomp him to death!

It's best to stay with a girl when she's sad; they say companionship is the longest confession. Of course don't be that foolish; you still need to express your feelings appropriately. Keep working hard, elder uncle, and eventually you'll win a beauty!

Su Xi gazed at Su Yu with a lingering look, "Heh, you really know a lot of things!"

【Host, don't forget, you're now publicly Su Xi's child. Having Su Xi look for someone else, you're probably scared his reputation is too spotless? His beloved might even fly away!】

【Right! I'm publicly my elder uncle's child, and my dad, that useless guy, still hasn't woken up!】

Thinking that, Su Yu suddenly felt a bit cold. She rubbed her hands, saw the car stopped, hurried out, and headed back to her room to put on a coat.

"Mom? Why did you bring dad out?"

Su Yu watched Ji Yan push Su Yi out. He sat in a wheelchair, his limbs bound with straps, and a safety belt around his waist.

【What's the point of this? Why did Mom bring Dad out?】

Su Yi, playing with mud, said:??? Rebellious girl! Why is my wife bringing me out?

He was originally immune to his daughter's scoldings. The fact that he can't wake up is true, but his daughter blocking him from being close to his wife is another matter. He thought it over, "bring dad out" probably means taking him out of the hospital room? To go for a walk together?

Su Yi thought, if he remembered correctly, it should be night outside now. A night walk—yeah, that's quite atmospheric!

"I'll go for a walk with your dad!"

【Um, more accurately, Mom is pushing Dad on a walk, right? That's exhausting.】

"Mom, don't we have a remote‑controlled wheelchair? Or let Uncle Butler push for you!"

"No need, do you want to go together…"

Su Yu hesitated, 【Should I go or not? I'm a little cold and a little hungry!】

Su Yi: "Don't come over, I want a world of just me and my wife!"

Ji Yan pretended to glance at her watch, "You came back so early; did you eat at the auction?"

Su Yu nodded then shook her head, "I had snacks before I went, didn't have dinner."

【That damn money‑laundering gathering, even a bite of their stuff makes my mouth feel filthy!】

Su Yi:??? Our family has never been involved in this before! What kind of luck is this?

Ji Yan: The amount of info is a bit large! But she's not unheard of in the circle.

Ji Yan stared for a second, then asked warmly, "Not hungry? Go eat right away!"

Ji Yan signaled the butler beside her to call the kitchen for a meal.

Su Yu nodded. She couldn't admit she was hungry; saying she was hungry would only make her hungrier!

Su Yu returned to her room, grabbed a piece of clothing and ate heartily, and even had Uncle Butler go upstairs to bring food to Su Xi. He didn't eat much; as soon as he got home he was already occupied with the trouble caused by that damn auction—what a grind!

Full and satisfied, Su Yu thought of her beloved mother and useless father.

"Butler, are my mom and dad still out walking?"

"Yes."

"Then take me to find them!"

Su Yu got into the car and went straight to the area where Ji Yan was. She walked with a joyful stride over and hugged Ji Yan, who was sitting in the garden.

"Mom, I'm here!"

【Wuhu, hug and cuddle!】

Ji Yan gently lifted Su Yu, patted her belly, "Are you full?"

Su Yu nuzzled Ji Yan's face, "I'm full!"

【Mom, I love you so much! Mom's skin is so good!】

Su Yi was fuming! Didn't they agree to accompany him out? Why is he stuck with this rebellious girl again? And she's already three years old—can she understand anything, give the parents some space? She's here, how can his wife dare to be all clingy with him?

He wanted to shout "Rebellious girl, let go!", but he knew no one cared about his voice! The rebellious girl at his home can't hear him at all!

The last time he dreamed, why didn't the rebellious girl from his home appear in his dream? He must give this rebellious girl a complete childhood!

Ji Yan doesn't know Su Yi's inner cry; she is happy to hear her daughter's voice.

"Let's go for a walk!"

"Okay, I want Mom to hold me~"

Su Yu blinked her big eyes, looking at Ji Yan expectantly. Ji Yan's slender big hand held her small hand, "Let's go!"

"Butler Uncle, give Dad a push!"

"Alright, Miss Xiao Yu!"

【Oh yeah, Mom is holding me! Mom really loves me more!】

Su Yu is so happy!

Su Yi, hearing this, became unhappy! He hates it! Why can't he wake up? If he woke up, how could Su Yu be so arrogant? He has tried many ways, but he just can't wake up!

【A walk after a meal feels really good; next time I want to walk with Mom again!】

Su Yi, hearing this, wishes he could right now grab Su Yu and beat her up! Is it fun to snatch your dad's spot?

The butler, who was pushing someone back, shouted.
