Chapter 168: Rou Family

Su Yu raised a chubby finger and waved it, saying, "Strictly speaking, our family has never formally introduced who I am a daughter of. The only thing our family has officially announced is that I am the heir of the Su Family!"

Compared to Su Yu playing word games, Ji Yan explained seriously, "Back then, the Mu family's situation was complicated; now we're worried that the Chu family's lunatic might take action."

As soon as Ji Yan said that, Rou Huiqing recalled the situation. Indeed, the endless gossip about domineering CEOs and female stars ultimately boils down to the Su family acknowledging Su Yu as the heir. Su Xi even takes her to the company every day, and Su Yu even has the authority to mobilize the company's resources.

Su Xi's behavior like a doting dad and a girl‑crazy maniac makes it no wonder others misunderstand.

Rou Huiqing took a breath, "This news should still be confidential—why are you telling me? Aren't you afraid I'll spill it?"

If Chu Han Ya found out, she could instantly clear her name as a mistress. Aren't they afraid she'd sell this information to Chu Han Ya just to survive?

"Auntie, you still haven't answered me—how is my great uncle inferior to Qin Yuanjun?!"

He lacks nothing; if Su Xi is truly single now, his conditions are even better than Qin Yuanjun's.

"Your great uncle is fine."

"Then can you marry my great uncle?"

"……"

Rou Huiqing took a deep breath, feeling that Su Yu probably doesn't really understand what getting married entails.

"Marriage requires mutual consent!"

"With Su Yu, that's not a problem."

"As long as you agree, we can hold your wedding with my great uncle tomorrow! As for those people in your family, don't worry!"

Su Yu glanced at the butler and clapped her hands!

Fifty bodyguards filed in, stood in formation, and shouted in unison, "Miss Xiao Yu!"

"With so many bodyguard uncles, whenever you go out they can follow you. If you don't like bodyguard uncles, you can switch to bodyguard aunts. If you don't like going out, you can stay home and play like your mother does. The estate is huge—you can do whatever you want!"

"Marriage is a matter for two people; if your great uncle doesn't agree, it's like trying to force an unripe melon—it won't be sweet!"

Otherwise, Rou Huiqing would have long ago used tricks to marry into the Qin family. She also wants to see the quality of life afterward!

"But if you don't force it, there's no melon at all! This melon may not be sweet, but it's ripe! My great uncle is very responsible—he would never cheat in marriage!"

Su Yu, fearing Rou Huiqing might misunderstand, deliberately took out her own jade, saying, "Back then, my great uncle only paid attention to me because of the jade on my neck!"

The eavesdropping Ji Yan felt that perhaps Su Yu had thought of something, and Su Xi heard it, which is why he paid attention to her. Moreover, Su Yu looks a lot like Su Yi did as a child.

Rou Huiqing: "Is that the point? The point is your great uncle won't agree!"

Rou Huiqing sat down on the side, feeling a bit deflated, thinking she and Su Yu just aren't on the same wavelength.

Su Yu checked the time and then asked Rou Huiqing proactively, "Is it that I got my great uncle to say he agrees to marry you, so you'd marry my great uncle?"

"Don't overthink it, kid!"

Rou Huiqing doesn't think Su Xi would accompany Su Yu in messing around.

"Is that so?"

"Yes!"

Rou Huiqing is betting that Su Xi won't indulge Su Yu's antics. Moreover, she hasn't formally ended her engagement yet, so saying this now is useless. She's just a backup for Qin Yuanjun—whenever the Qin family remembers her, they'll pull her out, shake her, and see if she can be used.

Su Yu ran upstairs again, this time pulling Su Xi down with her.

"Say it yourself!"

【I've tricked your wife into a cage for you—if you run away, I'll smash all nine work cards onto you!】

"The Su family's betrothal gifts and fixed annual gifts can go to your family, but only as betrothal gifts and fixed annual gifts. If you marry into the Su family, the Su family can fund your startup. The Su family will allocate shares according to investment, and besides you, no other Rou family‑related people may be involved. If you're willing to marry, I'm willing to take you as my wife."

Rou Huiqing was stunned by this news!

All the way until after she finished eating, got in the car, and returned home, Rou Huiqing hadn't snapped out of it—she felt like she had impulsively sold herself off?

"Auntie, come play with me next time! I really like you!"

Su Yu took Rou Huiqing's hand and got out of the car, shouting reluctantly.

After saying that, she looked at the villa, her face twitching, "Auntie, is this your house? It's rather exquisite!"

【No way, does the Rou family's whole clan actually live in such a tiny place? Even four generations of the Rou family living together would be cramped, let alone adding all those mistresses and children from their three men—just how is this place laid out?】

Wang Jing, who had come out upon hearing the commotion, didn't give Su Yu any pleasant expression because of that remark.

She doesn't like girls, and she dislikes businessmen reeking of copper even more. Moreover, Su Yu is clearly a daughter yet has inheritance rights! This completely violates ancestral customs! Such an improper Su family will surely collapse in Su Yu's hands sooner or later. What kind of family is this—how did Rou Huiqing even get involved with them?

"You get in the car first—I'll watch you walk away."

Su Yu glanced at the unhappy Wang Jing, then at Rou Huiqing, "You won't get beaten, will you?"

"Don't worry, it won't happen—hurry up and get in the car!"

Su Yu climbed into the car.

【Wulongcha, stay here and watch them, relay the broadcast. If my future great‑aunt is in danger, we'll find a way to help her.】

【Okay!】

Su Xi hadn't driven far before Su Yu shouted for him to stop.

"Let's wait a moment—if my great‑aunt needs us, we can show up right away!"

Su Xi forwarded the original message to Rou Huiqing.

Rou Huiqing, however, had no time to look at her phone. She was again assigned to the family's small Buddhist hall.

"Qin-Rou clan, who let you go to the Su family?"

Wang Jing's face turned ashen!

"Do you even realize you've thrown away the Rou family's face?"

"What kind of trash is the Su family? A low‑class merchant—is he worth you lowering your status to eat with him? Is your family starving you?"

Rou Huiqing: "Aren't we already starving? Su Yu makes a bit of sense. Whether punished early or late, it's still punishment—better to eat something good before the penalty. At least when punished, you'll be in a better mood!"

Seeing Rou Huiqing remain silent as usual, Wang Jing dealt a harsh punishment.

"If you keep going like this, I'll have to consider breaking off our engagement with the Qin family—you're not worthy of Qin Yuanjun!"

Wang Jing flicked her hand and walked away, waiting for Rou Huiqing to regret and come kneeling to beg her to take back the decree!

Rou Huiqing knelt in place, motionless. Following her mother's habit, she would kneel for a few hours and then stop fussing. Mainly because she feared that if she knelt and hurt her legs, it would be embarrassing if something went wrong at the wedding!

"Auntie, you are totally out of line, actually making Grandma angry!"

Rou Huiqing pretended to be deaf, unable to hear. Before, she had tried to reason with this niece, telling her what a normal person's life should be like. But the niece wouldn't listen, having already been brainwashed by the family.

"Auntie, I'm speaking seriously to you. Your eldest aunt married well and is still an official's wife. Grandma has already been picking out a good match for you; she will definitely see you married off in great style!"

Rou Huiqing was speechless. Was her older sister's marriage really that good?

Good night, babies~
