Chapter 173: Dark Banquet

"No, I didn't do anything!"

"I'm out, I'm going to take a nap!"

Su Yu refused to speak, and Su Xi looked at Ji Yan.

"I let her bond with her dad, and she made her dad faint with anger."

Ji Yan was also helpless. Before he even woke up, the two had already made a scene like this.

If he wakes up, will it still be okay?

Su Xi reviewed the surveillance; Su Yu's words were a bit excessive, but not enough to make Su Yi faint. It must have been something she said from the heart. Su Xi asked Ji Yan, but Ji Yan still refused to repeat it.

Su Xi went to Su Yi's bedside and asked gently, "What exactly did Xiao Yu tell you?"

Su Yi: That rebellious woman! She exposed all my secrets right in front of my wife!

Su Yi was furious!

They now receive normal responses from the outside world, and that rebellious woman says that if they don't wake up, great‑grandma could take her mother as a granddaughter and marry her off, scheming about the wedding dowry. In her mind she keeps bringing up his and his brothers' juvenile bragging, doesn't that deliberately provoke him?

Through this period of adjustment, Su Yi and Su Xi have already found a suitable way to convey messages.

Su Xi, after reading all this: …

"How old are you? Kids just say things for fun."

Su Yi:!!! Big brother, you've changed!

Su Xi, not arguing about that with Su Yi, said, "That guy Qin Yuan Jun is a time bomb; you've spent a lot of time with him, tell me his weakness."

Su Yi thought for a while and gave an answer.

Su Yi: He's short of money! He borrowed a lot from me!

Su Xi: …

Su Yu, who had made Su Yi faint with anger, was extraordinarily obedient that day, not even watching TV, but calmly reading a business storybook.

The next day at work, Wang Jun De, whom they hadn't seen for a while, came over to deliver the banquet invitation.

"What is this?"

It even has jade on it? That's a bit wasteful!

General Manager Su, this is the first banquet Hua Jing Entertainment has held after the integration.

Oh, that Dark Banquet? I recall it was when Hua Jing Entertainment held a cocktail party, the hotel's power switch was turned off. The hotel's sewage raged down onto the people. In the darkness, unprincipled artists ambushed their mortal enemies, causing several artists to nearly scar their faces.

The first banquet of Hua Jing Entertainment became a textbook failure in the entertainment circle. Wulongcha, is it still the hotel from the story?

Wulongcha did a quick search, "Yes, that's right! The timing is the same!"

"I recall that the Su Clan also has a hotel under its banner?"

Hua Jing Entertainment is now under Su Clan's control; why not choose our own hotel for the banquet?

"Yes, General Manager Su, you're not mistaken. However, that day, all hotels under the Su Clan were fully booked."

Wang Jun De originally wanted to pick a Su Clan hotel—easy to coordinate and could get a discount. But every suitable venue had already been rented!

"Did you send out the invitations? Is each one like this?"

If every invitation follows this standard, what a wasteful spender!

Wang Jun De said respectfully, "Not yet."

He also didn't know when General Manager Su and his wife would be free. He could only pick a few reasonable times when all the agency's artists could attend, choose the nearest one, and send the first version of the invitation. If General Manager Su is unavailable, he can reschedule.

"This invitation is a template; if you don't like it, you can change it!"

That's not a problem! The seasoned branch general manager had already prepared all sorts of contingency plans.

Wang Jun De took out the tablet he had prepared.

Su Yu took it, looked at many versions, and was still not satisfied.

Why does it all look so expensive?

Wulongcha searched and said, "Host, other large-scale banquets also give guests invitations like this."

Alright. Then choose the tycoon gold one, the cheapest of that style.

Wang Jun De instantly understood Su Yu's intention after seeing it.

"General Manager Su, do you like unwrapping gifts? Guests who receive these invitations will bring gifts."

So not many invitations are sent out. They don't want to give too shabby ones either, after all they expect gifts.

"You choose!"

Su Yu felt this wasn't her strong suit, and decisively shoved the tablet into Su Xi's arms.

"I want to attend the banquet in our own hotel, it's safe. The previous banquets weren't safe!"

This way, Uncle should take it seriously, right?

Su Xi rubbed his forehead; he hadn't expected that after such screening, Hua Jing Entertainment could still have a mole.

"Change the time and venue!"

"Alright!"

Wang Jun De didn't ask Su Xi about the time and venue, took the tablet Su Xi handed him, glanced at the invitation template Su Xi chose, and happily went out to find Qin Tao.

……

"Why did you both come?"

Qin Yun hadn't expected Su Yu and Su Xi to arrive on Monday. Aren't they supposed to be at work?

"I missed you!"

Poor little me, at three years old already forced to bear responsibilities that aren't mine. When will Uncle finally bring someone home to marry?

"I missed you too!"

Qin Yun lifted Su Yu onto a swing in the garden and sat her there.

"Baby, do you like these flowers?"

Su Yu nodded, "Do you like it? We have lots at home! If you like it, you can come find me to play, wait for me to pick you up, it's not safe to go out!"

"If you like something, you can say it—we can grow it at home!"

"I like it!"

After leaving the Rou family, she likes everything.

"Baby, I'm going to tell you a secret, you must not tell anyone!"

"Okay!"

"My uncle is no stranger—I'll tell him later!"

Qin Yun sat beside Su Yu and lifted her up.

"I know some techniques to gamble on jade and make money. If you want to gamble, I can teach you, but gambling on jade is very risky. Normally it's unnecessary, so don't get involved!"

She learned it secretly from others after growing up.

"All right!"

"Gamblers end up with nothing in the end, I understand!"

Qin Yun held Su Yu for a while without speaking; Su Yu didn't urge Qin Yun, just quietly staying in her embrace.

"In the future, my aunt will be much gentler than my uncle; sitting in her embrace is really comfortable!"

Qin Yun, who had already been brewing emotions, told Su Yu about what happened today in the big courtyard.

"Yesterday something happened to the Yang family; I thought I was just a spectator, but I didn't expect to be involved."

Su Yu looked at Qin Yun with a face full of doubt. Qin Yun seemed to be lost in thought, staring straight ahead.

"Yang Ruoning has such good parents, why doesn't she cherish them? I could gamble all I have to raise money for the family to get through tough times, why doesn't anyone cherish them?"

Yang Ruoning brought her boyfriend's parents into the big courtyard, intending to harm her own parents. The two elderly members of the Yang family hardened their hearts and sent Yang Ruoning to jail to calm down for a while.

Yang Ruoning's boyfriend ran away. The Yang family parents searched Yang Ruoning's phone and room, only then discovering that Yang Ruoning had secretly done many things behind their backs, and also had an ambiguous relationship with the Chu family!

"The racetrack where my brother and they race is run by Yang Ruoning. She is suspected of gambling and has already been arrested. Before, everyone laughed at the Qin family; now they laugh at the Yang family."

"Any other questions?"

Thanks for the votes, cuties~
