Chapter 148: Going Home

~8 min read 1,428 words

Su Yu looked at the bodyguard.

"It was delivered by Miss Liang. She said she didn't know which admirer sent it, and told the two kids to play with it."

Admirer Zhu Xueheng:...

He stormed back to his suite room, ready to call and interrogate the flower shop staff. Hadn't he said to let him deliver it? Did they think they were so capable, delivering the flowers right into the target's hands?

Liang Yan found Zhu Xueheng baffling, but she quite liked this bouquet of flowers, plucking them while observing the varieties and colors. When she got home, she would have Mom buy an identical bouquet for her to pluck and play with!

【Host, if you head over now, you should be able to run into Xu Yanjing and Xu Mingyue halfway. They left here, probably heading back to the Ye family.】

【Not going!】

【Why not? If you find a way to acknowledge your connection with Xu Mingyue, you can get another reunion red envelope.】

Wulongcha felt that if Xu Mingyue knew Su Yu loved money, she would definitely give Su Yu pocket money.

【If the red envelope is gone, it's gone. I don't want to lose my mom!】

Su Yu didn't want to look at Wulongcha, whose rationality was blinded by money, and stared at Liang Yan plucking flowers instead.

Wulongcha thought about it seriously. Ji Yan indeed had no advantage and couldn't compete with those people. But saying Ji Yan would die — wasn't that a bit exaggerated?

【Your uncle will protect your mom.】

【Uncle can't even protect me at all times, let alone my mom. Our family already has plenty of enemies to begin with, and adding a chaotic Ji Family on top of that — might as well just let it all be destroyed!】

Wulongcha swayed, and it flipped through the plot.

【Internal strife — indeed not a good time to acknowledge the connection.】

Wulongcha still wasn't willing to give up. The Xu family was so united; if they could help the Su Family, the Su Family could develop faster and better. Su Yu wouldn't just get red envelopes — she could also gain the Xu family's favor, and maybe the Xu family would even invest in her new project.

【You could acknowledge your connection with Xu Mingyue first, and have her keep it a secret.】

【No! You're gambling with my mom's safety. Our family isn't short of money! I can do without that project!】

Su Yu didn't want to always be someone who held out her hand for things; she wanted to earn money herself. But compared to Mom's safety, so what if she had to hold out her hand? Lying flat was pretty sweet too! Anyway, she was only three years old now — she could do whatever she wanted!

【Xu Mingyue's health isn't great. She misses your mom very much.】

【She misses her mom now, so she definitely won't die. Once news of my mom gets out, there's a high probability she'll die. Whose side are you on?】

Wulongcha was of course on Su Yu's side.

【Fine, never mind then!】

Wulongcha shut down!

【If you have free time, you might as well go check on what my uncle and Ye Shu are talking about. Why are they talking for so long?】

Wulongcha stirred. 【Nothing much, just uploading the sequence of Ji Xiaoling and those two children's string of bad luck, one incident at a time.】

【Huh? They're uploading it?】

Su Yu didn't understand — was offending people under real-name registration more satisfying?

【No, there are plenty of influencers at the banquet who want to 'rise to fame overnight.' Compared to borderline content, this is more positive, and the money is better.】

Scandals and gossip about wealthy families were more profitable. Not to mention, those three iconic scenes were extremely eye-catching.

【But it'll offend the Ji Family.】

【They just want to go viral. Offending the Ji Family is nothing — as long as they don't die, it's fine.】

Once they got the money, they could swap on a fake face and keep on conquering the social scene. Those people had changed their identities countless times — maybe they had some special method to evade others' scrutiny.

Liang Yan finished plucking the whole bouquet, and Su Xi returned.

"Do you want to go home or keep playing at the banquet?"

"Are there any other fun segments?"

"Like what?"

"Grabbing red envelopes?"

"No, Ye Shu went off to handle things."

"Then let's go home!"

"Xiao Yu, take me home too!"

"Auntie, I want to take Ruanhuhu home!"

Tang Can sat on the sofa, arms crossed over her chest, pouting to express her dissatisfaction.

Tang Tang, who had just entered the lounge, crouched down to coax her. "Why do you want Ruanhuhu? We already have two kitties at home — isn't that enough?"

"Those are yours, not mine! You all got to raise a Ruanhuhu, so I want to raise a Ruanhuhu too."

Tang Tang understood Tang Can's reasoning and thought there was nothing wrong with it.

"No problem. Is there one you like? We'll go buy it and bring it home!"

Tang Can's eyes sparkled. "Mm-hm, okay! He knows where it is!"

Tang Tang looked at Ren Tiandu. "Where did she see it? We can go buy an identical one to bring home."

Ren Tiandu broke down and shouted, "We can't raise one! What she wants to raise is a person!"

Before Tang Tang arrived, he had already been nagged to the point of a breakdown by Tang Can! He regretted countless times why he had volunteered to change Tang Can's personality back then. That delicate little girl from before was so wonderful! He must have been blinded by lard to end up teaching such a little demon!

"Whose child is it? We can raise them together."

Tang Tang felt that both the Tang Family and the Ren family had quite good conditions. Whether it was a boy or a girl, their family could afford to raise them. If the other child's parents were willing, it would be quite nice for the two kids to grow up together.

"The one the Su Family just got back — Su Yu."

Tang Tang had an impression — it was the one who served as a flower girl at the wedding.

"How did they meet?"

Ren Tiandu recounted how the three children had met.

Tang Tang:...

You promised Auntie you wouldn't speak the truth at the banquet, and to say as little as possible, right?

Tang Can's blunt words hurt too much. As soon as she speaks, she hits where it hurts. Besides, she's still young; when you explain things to her, her understanding differs from an adult's.

Yeah, I only talked to them. Ruanhuhu hasn't been to school, so if you don't explain in detail she won't understand! I can take her home and we can go to school together.

Why don't you go ask?

Impossible!

Ren Tiandu refused outright!

I know Su Xi values this child a lot, but you're brothers; just letting her come over to play should be fine, right? Why don't you give it a try?

This isn't even a matter of whether Su Xi agrees or not—'Do you want to try the joy of double trouble? Maybe it's triple, and there's also Liang Yan.'

Tang Tang imagined it: three Tang Can at home, and she guessed she'd also break down.

Honey, why do you like Su Yu, which is what you call 'Ruanhuhu'?

Because she's soft, feels different, and she's pretty! So well-behaved!

Tang Tang thought she understood, 'Honey, you want to play with a kid? Why not wait for me to give you a little sister?'

Tang Can turned her head, 'No!'

Tang Tang felt a bit hurt, 'Why? Don't you like Auntie's child?'

Tang Can pointed at Ren Tiandu, 'He's so ugly; could a sister you have with him be pretty?'

Ren Tiandu took a deep breath; he's the one I raised, I can endure!

Then why not have your mom give you another little sister?

You can't possibly admit you're ugly, can you?

What if we have another one as skinny as me?

Ren Tiandu roared in his mind: It's not because you're picky! If you ate more you'd gain weight! Can't you just eat to get fat and pinch yourself?

Then how about I take you to the orphanage to find one you like? The kids there can be adopted home.

Tang Can frowned slightly, 'Auntie, I have an idea.'

Go ahead!

Good night, babies~
