Chapter 223: Ye Shu Makes His Move

【He doesn't know how, but his dad does. All the money the Lu family previously made from the underground industry has to be coughed up.】

Wulongcha was still somewhat regretful, 【Lu Zhongda's methods of using women to swallow other people's family assets were too formidable. After handing over that money, he could still keep some of his businesses. At worst, the Lu family would just have a bad reputation—their assets would still be there. If he found an only daughter, he could prop up the family fortune!】

In today's society, throw some money around, run a few lucky draws, buy some videos to whitewash things, push all the blame onto one person, and given netizens' black-and-white mentality, Lu Zhongda could quickly be whitewashed into a victim and continue marketing his golden bachelor persona to scam benefits from more women.

【What's there to be afraid of? Isn't Ye Shu still around?】

Wulongcha was puzzled, 【Him?】

Su Yu said seriously in her heart, 【Don't underestimate the fighting power of a jealous man. Come to think of it, does my uncle actually like Qin Yun or not? Is there some hidden easter egg in the plot that we haven't discovered? He just lets Qin Yun stay at the Qin family without worrying at all about someone else wooing her away?】

During this period, Su Xi had practically turned the company into his home!

【I only checked the invitation list for your family's recovery banquet. Qin Yun is on the list. Do you still want me to check Su Xi's chat records with her?】

Wulongcha was worried their chat records might be censored.

【No need for that. If my uncle really doesn't want to marry, and I keep playing matchmaker for them, what if I end up matching a pair of bitter spouses?】

This kind of thing should be left to nature!

She was just curious!

With a goal in mind, Su Yu especially, especially wanted to go home. She was going to cause trouble together with Ye Shu.

……

"Mommy, I'm back!"

"Good evening, aunties!"

Su Yu happily returned home to find the trio dressing up Guoguo. Looking at little sister Guoguo, who had a completely bewildered face and couldn't even crawl despite rolling back and forth on the blanket, Su Yu thought of her mom who had crazily changed her clothes before.

"Mommy, Auntie, has Uncle Ye eaten? I have something I need to find him for!"

"He's eaten. He's with your daddy!"

"Okay, thank you, Auntie. Then I'll go find Uncle after I finish eating!"

【Please, please don't make me take care of the baby, and don't treat me like a real-life dress-up doll!】

After Su Yu finished eating, she went up to Su Yi's study.

"Daddy, Uncle Ye, good evening! Uncle Ye, are you free?"

"I am!"

"Then could you come over here for a moment?"

Ye Shu put down the book in his hands and walked over. Su Yi had a gut feeling that Su Yu wasn't up to any good. He immediately reported to his eldest brother!

Su Xi: Got it.

Su Yi was rather unsatisfied. How come when Su Yu reported on him, he got a scolding, but when he reported on Su Yu, she didn't seem to receive any punishment?

With this thought, Su Yi had the butler pass the message to Grandma.

Butler: Second Young Master.

Su Yi had just been scolded that morning and didn't dare show his face in front of Grandma. After having the butler pass the message, he asked the butler to send him Grandma's reaction.

Su Yi: What did Grandma say?

Butler: Voice message.

Su Yi had a bad premonition. He tapped open the voice message, and Yang Zhichun's voice rang out in the study.

"When she makes a mistake, it's called adorably silly. When you make a mistake, it's called being an idiot! She has more sense than you!"

Su Yi: …Double standards! You're all double standards!

Ah!

Sure enough, now that there was a little one, his status as the big one was plummeting!

On the other side, Ye Shu walked into Su Yu's toy room. "Where should I sit?"

None of the chairs in the entire room seemed quite suitable for an adult like Ye Shu.

"Could you sit on the blanket?"

Ye Shu was easygoing. He nodded and sat down. He stroked the blanket—the soft, fine fur brushed across his hand, very comfortable. Ye Shu thought he could get this brand of blanket for his child too!

With this thought, Ye Shu began to seriously analyze Su Yu's toy room. If his child was a daughter, he could set up a big toy room like this too.

"Uncle, did you know that Lu Zhongda still wants to sell you?"

"Hm, hm?"

Ye Shu looked completely bewildered. Lu Zhongda sell him? Su Yu couldn't be joking, could she?

"You're not talking nonsense?"

Su Yu shook her head. "Nope!"

【I'm not talking nonsense, I'm lying. Anyway, Lu Zhongda did have this idea, so, well, it doesn't really count as lying.】

Ye Shu's expression shifted. On one hand, he felt Su Yu was talking nonsense; on the other, he somewhat believed her words. His wife was so wonderful—if he lost his life, who knows how many people would be willing to be his kid's stepfather.

"What are you trying to do?"

"Uncle, do you still remember Auntie Xu Jun?"

"I remember."

"Then do you want to earn some pocket money? You might get scolded for profiting off others' misfortune! Given the current situation, Lu Zhongda probably doesn't have the ability to track you down anymore."

The Lu family could barely protect itself now! It was no match at all for the Ye family, which was backed by the Xu family and the Xie family.

Ye Shu, who was about to raise a child, thought of his flat wallet.

"Can I really earn traffic money?"

As soon as Ye Shu heard this, he knew what Su Yu was plotting. Meng Xianle had made quite a lot from this. The Ye family wasn't involved in this industry, but if the money was good, having a few more business ventures wouldn't hurt!

"Yep, whether it's a lot or a little depends on how you work it, Uncle Ye. There are lots of gossiping netizens. What you mentioned are real-world examples, and netizens would love to dig up gossip about wealthy families."

"Love to? Heat is what matters most!"

Ye Shu analyzed it from a merchant's perspective — the only thing that could be converted into money was buzz.

"That depends on how ruthless the Xu family is! Uncle Ye, beat the drowning dog!"

【If the Xu family doesn't make a move while Lu Zhongda is overwhelmed, once he cheats other prominent families' daughters, they won't even have a chance to speak. Lu Zhongda is no good thing. He's already made an enemy of Ye Shu — wouldn't it be a pity if Ye Shu didn't seize this chance to crush him!】

Ye Shu knew this Xu family referred to Xu Jun's family. That kind of dog-like lot wouldn't behave even when asking for money in a partnership. Cooperating with them was no different from borrowing a tiger's skin!

"Alright! Anything else?"

"Nothing else. Goodbye, Uncle Ye!"

Ye Shu's mouth twitched — Su Yu really did toss him aside the moment she was done with him!

Ye Shu didn't fully trust Su Yu, a three-year-old little brat. He went to find Su Xi.

Ye Shu looked at Su Xi, who was calmly reading documents. "You knew Su Yu was looking for me?"

"I knew!"

"You don't have anything you want to say to me?"

"No. You're an adult — make your own decisions."

"Did you teach her those words?"

"She had too much time on her hands!"

Ye Shu was speechless. What do you mean, too much time on her hands? This wasn't some trivial matter!

"Is Lu Zhongda really done for?"

Ye Shu was quite surprised. The Lu family had no shortage of underground businesses. His methods were ruthless, and his speed of whitewashing was fast. Not long ago, Lu Zhongda had even been praised by certain financial media as a business genius.

"His father turned himself in to protect him."

Lu Zhongda's family would sacrifice anything for the Lu family!

"What a bunch of ruthless people!"

Ye Shu remembered that Lu Zhongda's father didn't really like Lu Zhongda. This matter only strengthened Ye Shu's resolve to destroy both the Lu clan and Lu Zhongda while the opportunity was there! Otherwise, given Lu Zhongda's ruthlessness and vindictive nature, he would sooner or later make a move against the Ye family!

"Why didn't you let Meng Xianle earn that money?"

If they released Lu Zhongda's romantic scandals at this moment, Meng Xianle's company would rake in another fortune.

"I have too much time on my hands?"

Su Xi was already busy enough every day! If Meng Xianle also exposed all the prominent families' daughters that Lu Zhongda had deceived, he would only get busier!

He simply found Lu Zhongda's existence nauseating — it hadn't reached a life-or-death level. There was no need to expose the scandals of those prominent families' daughters and bring a whole pile of enemies upon himself.

"If I exposed the immoral deeds Lu Zhongda committed, wouldn't you offend people just the same?"
