【Then draw ten times?】

Wulongcha feels a little hurt!

Looks like we're about to earn money!

The more principal, the more profit later!

But the Host wants to vent, and it can't block that either.

【But what if we don't get it in ten draws?】

Su Yu is very determined to get back at them!

【Then just finish drawing and talk later!】

After seeing the blueprint, Wulongcha's desire to make money is also very determined! Su Yu spent all the money, and they invest a der!

【Alright!】

After drawing ten times, Wulongcha let out a sigh of relief at the result!

Su Yu just wanted to click open and look, when the door was knocked.

"Sure, welcome Auntie!"

【Misfortune Card: 4, Blindness Card: 2, Truth Card: 3, Show-off Card: 1】

"Come in!"

Su Yu opened the description of the Show-off Card.

Before leaving home, Su Yu even specifically asked Doctor Uncle, and learned that the wound on Mom's back only needs ointment to heal slowly, so she felt much more at ease.

Su Xi deliberately waited for a while before waking up, then sent a message asking Su Yi to come to the company to help.

"Xiao Yu, are you awake?"

After work, returning home, Su Xi was stuck in the middle, watching the father and daughter ignore each other, and decided to leave one at home tomorrow.

【Uh, this time there are many repeats, many useful cards, I really don't know if it's good luck or bad luck?】

Wulongcha went to deliver cards, Su Yu looked at the exhausted face, while Su Xi was napping, "Uncle looks so tired! Dad really is useless, never comes to the company to help!"

Su Yi: Do you think I wanted this? After being off the rails for so many years, don't I need to get familiar? Four years of change is too huge!

The New Card only has the Show-off Card, she has drawn all the other cards before.

【Sigh, finally knows to come help share the household work? Not even I, a three‑year‑old, am as good…】

Fortunately, the two only bicker while eating, and when it's time to work they are still serious, which let Su Xi breathe a sigh of relief.

Su Yu followed Uncle downstairs to eat.

The drop rate is what it is; if you're not an EU-king you can only pay.

Su Yu ran over, stopped several steps away from Xie Xin Yi, then walked over slowly.

Wulongcha said earnestly, "Host, that's why we should invest in more projects; using the money we earn to draw cards is more appropriate."

At her age, being a bit smart is possible, but having the knowledge of an industry master is absurd. Even if she started learning from the womb, she's only studied for four years; how could she possibly have the knowledge reserve of a master with at least ten years of experience?

【Let's use the Misfortune Card and the Blindness Card together!】

"Good evening, Auntie!"

"Alright, you stay here to look after Su Yu, review the company's documents, get familiar first."

Show-off Card: Show-off like the wind, always accompanies me. As long as you use this card, within a day you can instantly possess the amount of knowledge of a top expert in a certain field of this world! Note: People with weak mental power may be overwhelmed by the flood of knowledge; after using the Show-off Card, the knowledge will not stay in your mind. If you need the related knowledge later, remember to make up the lessons, don't expose yourself!

"Brother, I'm here!"

"I'm here!"

【This Show-off Card isn't suitable for me either.】

He can have Su Yi come over to record Su Yu's thoughts, and he'll edit them when he gets home at night. Anyway Su Yu will also write a text version, he can just compare it, no need to be so exhausted!

"Knock knock!"

Su Yu put down the pen in her hand, "Why did Dad come?"

【Indeed! The drop rate of the New Card is absurdly low!】

Su Yu arrived at the office, and under Wulongcha's urging, took the blueprints and carefully revised the parts Wulongcha thought were not quite right.

"Auntie, are you looking for me?"

These words suddenly woke the exhausted Su Xi!

Before Su Yi arrived, he already knew he was to record Su Yu's voice of heart, so he naturally walked over and took over the older brother's position.

【Alright!】

After Su Yu and Su Yi started working at the company together, Su Xi felt like he was taking care of two kids. The usually sensible Su Yu liked to spar with Su Yi. For example, when Su Yu ate a serving of vegetables, she demanded Su Yi eat an equal portion of greens. Su Yi, not wanting to fall behind, constantly asked Su Xi to be fair! He's an adult, unlike Su Yu, a growing child.

Su Yu is being unreasonable!

【How strange, Xie Xin Yi isn't pregnant? She should now be under close watch by the Ye family and the Xie family, they wouldn't let her out.】

After getting in the car, Su Yu excitedly shouted to Wulongcha, "Let's see what cards we drew!"

Ji Yan is taken care of by Xu Mingyue and the others, he doesn't have to worry at all!

"Right, I'm here to play with you and your mom!"

"Xiao Yu, good evening!"

Yeah!

【Huh? It really is, Auntie is so strange!】

"Uncle Ye didn't come with Auntie?"

【That shouldn't be, only Xie Xin Yi came alone, no one from the Ye family or Xie family is worried?】

"I'm here, waiting for your Uncle on the third‑floor reception room!"

"Alright!"

"Baby, it's time to eat!"

"I'm here, Auntie, let's go eat."

"Thanks, baby, I've already eaten!"

"Alright!"

Seeing only Su Yi, who doesn't get along with her, at the table, Su Yu was a bit stunned. It was normal that Auntie had finished eating long ago, normal that Mom ate with Auntie, but what about Uncle?

"Butler Uncle, where's Uncle?"

"The Eldest Young Master is eating upstairs."

"Working overtime again?"

The butler thought for a moment, and indeed, Su Xi did have to work overtime after eating, and even asked him to accompany Su Yu for a walk to aid digestion.

So the butler nodded.

Su Yu gave Su Yi a secret glare, "Useless! He spent a whole day at the company and didn't help at all, yet Uncle still has to work overtime and is even busier! He used to eat with me before!"

Su Yi was speechless; it was clearly Ye Shu upstairs, why throw all the blame onto me!

And you too… fine, you're actually useful!

Useless Su Yi became a bit withdrawn. After eating, he also had to go upstairs to study. Whoever wants to walk Su Yu can go; he doesn't care anyway!

Su Yu, Ji Yan, and Xie Xin Yi went for a walk together.

After walking in the garden for a while, Xie Xin Yi asked Ji Yan, "Su Yi has also started working?"

"Yes!"

Ji Yan was also surprised. Everyone at home had jobs, and she wanted to find one too. Going out wasn't very safe, so Ji Yan simply wrote and recorded songs at home, posted them on platforms, and earned some traffic revenue.

Her music room also had top‑tier speakers, instruments, cameras and the like; she planned to livestream later, singing songs she liked or sharing the songwriting process with everyone.

"Tell him to be careful."

Xie Xin Yi handed over the conversation, and Ji Yan followed up, "Mr. Ye, what problem did you encounter?"

【Right, is it serious? If it's serious, tell us, we'll find a way.】

Under Ji Yan's and Su Yu's gaze, Xie Xin Yi first mentioned something that seemed unrelated to the matter.

"Earlier my parents and my in‑laws wanted me to take over the family business. Then the unexpected happened—I got pregnant. I don't have a strong desire to control the company. Whether for the child or my own health, I won't force myself to manage the company's affairs."

At this point, Xie Xin Yi let out a sigh.

"But shortly after I stayed at home, someone sent me messages like 'You're not good enough for him' and 'We are the perfect match.'"

At first I ignored it. But in the past few days it got worse. That person started leaving all sorts of things on my usual path—dead rats, blood‑stained dummy babies, and so on. Even my best composure was frightened.

"???"

【What kind of insane behavior is this?】

Ji Yan agreed with her daughter's view, that was truly insane, "Did you catch the person? Send her to the police station."

"We caught him, but he denies it! He accidentally dropped something in the neighborhood, I got scared, at most he'll get a few lectures."

Xie Xin Yi could confirm that the culprit placed them at the spot where she stepped out.

"He's targeting her on purpose, and since he's in the same complex, we have no evidence to deal with him, we can only move out."

Among the Xie family's overseas assets, there is a highly secure hillside villa in Australia—big and beautiful—suitable for carrying a pregnancy. But her gestational age is early, so traveling abroad is even riskier.

"Is she a Bad Peach Blossom that Ye Shu attracted? They're all in the same complex, and the Ye family never mentioned this?"

Xie Xin Yi remained silent; the matter was hard to speak of.

Ji Yan's expression grew solemn! Isn't this a marriage scam?

Su Yu's complexion was off as well, "【This isn't how the plot goes; did the plot go wrong? Neither Ye Shu nor Uncle mentioned such a crazy Bad Peach Blossom! Wulongcha, go check it.】"

【Alright!】

The matter concerning Ye Shu wasn't hard to investigate; Wulongcha quickly provided an answer.

【Hmm, Host, it's really not the plot's fault; someone showed up earlier. That pervert from the story returned to the country, set his sights on Ye Shu. He didn't want to be a male third, so he forced Xie Xin Yi to give up.】

【Disgusting trash! He can like anyone, but destroying other people's families makes him garbage! Scum!】

Su Yu was fuming, and Ji Yan also got the answer from Xie Xin Yi.

"It's a man who wants to pursue Ye Shu, forcing me to divorce Ye Shu."

"A man? Does Ye Shu have any intention?"

Ji Yan's mind was tangled; in this situation, what wife to marry? Isn't this a waste of people?

"No, he doesn't. He was just unlucky; when commuting, the man's sister saw him and then clung onto him. Ye Shu shouted at that woman in front of a crowd, 'I'm married—can't you understand those three words? I've said it many times, yet you still have the nerve to cling on, come at me again, and I'll call the police!' The woman went home to complain, and Ye Shu ended up being entangled by that man."

【He really doesn't have a destiny for work! He's clashing with work?】

Su Xi shared the same thought, "You're really unlucky! Is it clashing with work?"

"Exactly! Luckily I have the contact info of your company's staff, which let us look up that family's basic data. They're not good at all, so they raised two little brutes!"

Those two siblings, in some overseas circle, are known for their hobby of hunting beauties. The brother and sister like handsome boys. The sister initiates the flirtation, and once she's had enough, she passes the target to her brother.

Some are the brother's favorites; he brings them home, the sister tricks them into playing, then tosses them back to the brother.

If the sister can't get them, the brother will act; if the brother can't get them, the sister will go after them.

They excel at coercing victims into complying with their demands by any means. Once the prey is in their hands, it loses all dignity, a fate worse than death. Only when they voluntarily abandon the prey can it leave alive.

Vanishing abroad is far too easy!

The handsome boys who left them and are still alive are mostly disfigured and insane. The others vanished inexplicably. Apart from those two little brutes, probably no one else knows their whereabouts.

After reviewing the data, Su Xi gave Ye Shu high praise!

"You're quite clever, knowing to run to my house!"

The Su family's independent manor is perfectly suitable for Xie Xin Yi to carry her pregnancy.

"But you just plan to keep dodging like this? This kind of dog won't stop until it achieves its goal; are you thinking of ruining someone's appearance?"
