Chapter 143: Red Envelopes Received

Su Xi reminds him, "The person who kidnapped Ye Shu might still act; can you protect two children by yourself?"

In fact, Su Xi is recalling that Su Yu and Liang Yan took Ye Shu's commission, intending to embarrass the Lin family's two children.

Su Xi cannot imagine what mess awaits him. At the wedding, Su Yu's quick‑witted rescue that earned goodwill must not be squandered shortly after!

"Kidnapping Ye Shu has nothing to do with our Huo Huo; she's just a flower girl!"

No further tasks were assigned to Liang Yan, so even if he left now it would be fine. Why kidnap her?

Su Xi sees the puzzled look on Zhu Xueheng's face, not feigned, and says, "Seems you didn't know."

Having finished eating but seeing Liang Yan still eating, Su Yu plans to cooperate with her companion, slowly gnawing a white asparagus to pass the time.

"Uncle doesn't know, why clap?"

【Looks like I overestimated Zhu Xueheng's intelligence. When will Huo Huo finish eating? I should have picked a big marrow bone to gnaw…】

While chewing beef, Liang Yan looks up and says, "Dad, that clap was really awesome!"

Zhu Xueheng selectively ignores Su Xi and Su Yu's words, grinning foolishly, "Dad wants to cooperate with you!"

Liang Yan sees Xiao Yu's little sister and her father both silent. While her father keeps staring at her, he thinks and says, "Dad is cooperating well!"

"Ah, thank you, darling, for the compliment!"

Only after Liang Yan finishes eating does Zhu Xueheng return to normal.

"What did you just say? Why is our Huo Huo being kidnapped?"

Liang Yan looks up puzzled, turns to Su Yu, "Xiao Yu's little sister, what is dad saying?"

"He doesn't know Uncle Ye was kidnapped; we helped Uncle Ye stall, so we could get double red envelopes!"

Liang Yan's focus is behind, "Oh, no red envelopes were thrown this time! I still wanted to snatch a few when Uncle Ye and Auntie Xie threw red envelopes!"

She is closest to Xiao Yu's little sister, so they definitely grabbed the most.

Ye Shu actually also wanted to throw red envelopes, but his body couldn't hold up. When he was previously kidnapped, that person apparently stuffed something in his mouth, leaving him completely weak. After the wedding ceremony ended, he forced himself to the lounge and collapsed.

He wakes up again and sees his beloved wife's caring eyes.

"Is anything uncomfortable?"

"I'm fine now!"

Ye Shu moves his arms and legs. His body still feels a bit fatigued, but standing and walking should be fine.

"This time it's thanks to Xiao Yu and Huo Huo; they really are eloquent!"

"Eloquent? That's just nonsense!"

Ye Shu looks at Xie Xin Yi's expression; her face seems filled with admiration for the two. He insincerely says, "Their coordination is truly seamless, as if they'd rehearsed."

Ye Shu even suspects whether Su Yu privately took a job from Zhu Xueheng to mess with him. He knows she has strong professional ethics; she's reliable when paid. Yet he also is convinced she wouldn't refuse to eat at both families, just like her father, whose motto is, "Taking money to help you and taking money to deceive you are not contradictory at all."

"I almost got duped, so this time we must give them a big red envelope!"

"Yes, that's right, we'll give them double red envelopes!"

Ye Shu thinks it's clever! The wedding red envelopes are paid by the parents; by giving the two double red envelopes openly, he can protect his own little cash stash.

"Alright! Let's go; I got word from the server that the two have already eaten."

"Alright!"

Ye Shu is curious why his wife is concerned about whether the two kids have eaten their fill.

Ye Shu and Xie Xin Yi, already dressed in a pink wedding gown, walk up to Su Yu and Liang Yan; the two kids are huddled together, whispering the instructions Ye Shu gave them earlier to embarrass the Lin family's two children.

"Kids!"

【7】 Su Yu and Liang Yan act swiftly, each on one side, hugging Xie Xin Yi's thigh, smiling sweetly!

Su Yu and Liang Yan moved swiftly, each on one side, hugging Xie Xin Yi's thigh, sweetly smiled!

"Auntie, congratulations on the marriage! May you be together for a hundred years!"

"Auntie, congratulations on the marriage! May all things be as you wish!"

Ye Shu pulls a red envelope from his coat pocket, "You should change your wording!"

"Uncle, congratulations on the marriage!"

A startled Liang Yan also imitates Su Yu, "Uncle, congratulations on the marriage!"

Ye Shu: "…Where are my congratulatory words?"

Watching the duo stare at him, Ye Shu was about to make things difficult for them, but Xie Xin Yi's gentle smile appeared, and she took out two more red envelopes from Ye Shu's pocket and handed them to them.

"So good!"

What can Ye Shu do? It's a husband‑and‑wife duet!

"Take it!"

"Thank you, auntie, uncle!"

【The final payment is settled, I'm still alive, Wulongcha, hurry and help me find someone!】

【Alright!】

"Thank you, auntie, uncle!"

Xie Xin Yi pats the two kids' heads and says, "Go play quickly!"

"Okay~"

"Okay~"

Su Yu and Liang Yan hold hands and return, handing the red envelopes to the two adults and placing them.

The MC next door, eating, drools with envy; he hadn't been assigned any major role in the whole wedding, yet the sponsor family still settled his wages and bonuses as previously agreed.

Logically, he should be content.

But seeing this scene, his inner remorse swells like a raging river! How come he didn't ask a few more questions back then, and just memorized the lines! If he had been the one acting in the script, it would have been great!

Su Xi notices the MC's strange gaze and immediately leads the two children deeper into the banquet hall. Ye Shu is unreliable, and the people he brought may not be reliable either.

"Where are we going?"

You're not going to want to go home, are you? We haven't finished work yet!

You've eaten your fill, walk around a bit, digest!

Okay!

Turns out you were afraid we'd eat too much!

Su Yu and Liang Yan held little hands, wandering around the banquet to aid digestion, from time to time offering a well-behaved smile to the adults who had stopped Su Xi and Zhu Xueheng.

Host, I'm back, they're eating now!

What did you say? They're eating?

Su Yu had just left there. She really was full; it's impossible she'd cause a fuss to go back and eat again—she can't eat any more!

Host, you didn't hear wrong, they went to eat! Now they should be choosing dishes; you can use the Misfortune Card now!

Then use it, and add a Thunder Summon Card; if it's not enough, I'll draw another card!

With the new red envelope, Su Yu was very generous! She added a bit more to the budget! The Lin family aren't good people; heavenly thunder striking as retribution on the younger generation is also reasonable, right?

All right, I'm going now!

Wulongcha had passed, Su Yu felt an itch of curiosity, she wanted to take a look at the liveliness.

Su Xi took Su Yu and Zhu Xueheng and walked to another side. The Thunder Summon Card, which sounds dangerous at first hearing, it's better for the two little kids to stay farther away.

Bang!

Thanks for the votes, cuties~
