Chapter 177: Shi Family Turmoil

Half‑dreaming, half‑awake, Su Yu was woken by that voice.

"Miss Ming?"

【Ming? Mingmeng?】

"Alright, of course it can!"

Su Yu looked puzzled at Ji Yan, who had hung up, and asked, "Mom, what's wrong?"

Ji Yan shook her head, "It's nothing. Your Aunt Mingmeng wants to stay at home for a while!"

"Why?"

Su Yu was very sleepy, but not wanting to ask about the details, she didn't really want to sleep!

"I don't know!"

【Hmm, Wulongcha?】

【It's too late, maybe we should just sleep?】

Su Yu thought about it, found it reasonable, and fell asleep.

The next morning, after Su Yu finished breakfast, she got into a car to leave and saw Shi Xu.

"???"

Su Yu turned her head to look at Su Xi in the car and asked, "Uncle Shi, why are you at our house?"

Su Xi tapped the keyboard, "Shi Xu and Mingmeng have come with their child to stay for a while."

"Why?"

【They don't live at the Shi Family, they live at our house? At worst, staying at the Ming family is fine!】

"There's a small problem; you don't like them staying at our house?"

【Not at all!】

Su Yu thought for a moment and asked, "Aren't you worried Uncle Shi will find out?"

【Or is it that the useless dad is about to wake up, and we have to go public? Then can I take the chance to say I won't be the heir?】

Su Yu was visibly happy!

Su Xi's face turned grim. Su Yu refused to succeed; when does he plan to retire? He even intends for Su Yu to take over the company at eighteen!

"There's another villa at the house; clean it up today for them to stay in."

"Is that place really good?"

【If it were me, I wouldn't want to go in!】

"It was previously prepared for a family of three, very suitable!"

【Hope they won't be shocked by Grandpa's terrible taste! Speaking of houses, if the eldest uncle gets married, we'll have to split the family; I have to personally pick a house, and it must be one I like!】

Su Xi: Split what family!

Su Xi's expression was bad, and Su Yu was a bit puzzled.

【Why is the eldest uncle inexplicably unhappy? And he didn't tell me why Mingmeng and Shi Xu are staying at our house?】

Su Yu was about to think it over, but Wulongcha returned!

【Wulongcha, what happened?】

Wulongcha muttered angrily, 【Host, that dog Shi Yu hasn't given up the land in Qingshan! He damn well wants to mess with the territory you chose!】

【What?! What does that dog want to do? That's my first project! Damn it, why is he at odds with our Su Family? Did we provoke him?】

Su Yu couldn't figure it out!

The fact that Shi Yu appears on the "matchmaking candidates" list Su Xi showed her indicates that, even if his relationship with the Su Family isn't friendly, he can't be an enemy!

What's going on now?

Wulongcha was half furious, 【That's over the line; what does he do that's so bad, trying to sabotage our project! That fickle playboy is dangling Guan Xianxian and still wants to get engaged to a Ming family girl!】

【What? Doesn't our family cooperate with the Ming family?】

【Host, we can gain more benefits; the Ming family helps whoever they help? You wouldn't expect the Ming family to backstab!】

【Yeah, the eldest uncle probably didn't expect the Ming family would backstab!】

"Uncle Shi and Aunt Ming have come to our house; could there be any trouble on the Ming side?"

Su Xi patted Su Yu's head and said, "A child who worries so much should take his shift."

"Don't worry, we've already put someone on guard; with Qin Family's investment, even if the Ming Family pulls out, it's fine."

Just because of Guan Xianxian and Shi Yu's connection, Qin Zhenzhong wouldn't favor Shi Yu. With Qin Family's investment, the Ming Family wouldn't easily make a move. Of course, we can't rule out that the love‑blinded girl might do something.

Su Xi reassured Su Yu, but Su Yu felt uneasy in the car. When she got to the office, she said she was sleepy and wanted to go into the lounge to rest.

Su Xi closed Su Yu's office door and, without any pretense, crouched at the lounge entrance to listen to Su Yu and Wulongcha's conversation.

【Wulongcha, quickly tell me, what have Mingmeng and Shi Xu suffered?】

【Shi Xu and Mingmeng had said they'd move out, and they did. Shi Xu also isn't competing for the Shi Family head position. Shi Yu, the schemer, has no right to join the game. So he found a way to become a legitimate heir, even a senior heir compared to Shi Xu!】

【Legitimate son, how could he be! He's just an illegitimate child!】

【He schemed back then; now he's the second legitimate son of the Qi husband!】

【Qi? The Qi family? Aren't they rivals of the Ming family?】

Wulongcha swayed up and down, 【Exactly, the two families are rivals!】

【How can the Qi family's grandson marry a Ming family daughter? Their families are opposing each other yet they don't oppose the marriage and even cooperate? It's unreasonable!】

【When they discuss cooperation, it's in places beyond surveillance, with no electronic devices; I couldn't find their reason for cooperating.】

Su Xi wasn't surprised. The Qi family had wanted to marry into the Ji family before, but given recent events, the Qi‑Ji alliance looks shaky!

Qi Xinghao had tried to build a reputation as a love saint, but the Ji Family, for Ji Xiaoling, tore off his mask!

The Qi Family didn't know what was happening, seemed to just accept it without explaining Qi Xinghao at all. With the Ji Family's support gone, the Qi Family naturally needs a new partner.

Shi Yu has this ability to intervene in the Shi Family's affairs, and can even deceive the Ming family's daughter; the Qi family naturally welcomes it with open hands!

Anyway, they're not the Qi family's own blood, they just want to take a share of the benefits! In the end, only the Ming family suffers the loss!

【The two families reached a cooperation, and Shi Yu then participated in the Shi Family's power struggle!】

【Shi Xu won't be implicated by Shi Yu, right?】

Su Yu can guess what those competitors are thinking. Shi Yu, this half‑adopted legitimate son, wants to intervene in the Shi Family's power; Shi Xu, this legitimate son groomed as heir, can he just watch the Shi Family's authority slip away? His earlier report might have been to seize the Shi Family's authority for himself. Only, he didn't expect the old master to take the power and then not give it to him!

【Yes, that's right! The Shi Family completely doesn't believe Shi Xu has no ambition. Shi Xu is too clean at the company! He doesn't look like a corporate executive at all, more like a diligent worker; they can't find any fault with Shi Xu. So they started targeting Mingmeng and her child, creating all sorts of accidents!】

Mingmeng was prepared and could deal with those people, but her child almost came to harm. To protect the child, Mingmeng could only seek help from others.

【The Ming family should help, right!】

Mingmeng is indeed a daughter of the Ming family, and that child is also the Ming family's granddaughter! It's perfectly normal for the Ming family to take her in to live, just like Xu Mingyue.

Thanks for the votes, cuties～
