Chapter 229: Strangers (Instant-Kill Bonus Update 2)

Ji Yan remembered that in the materials she had reviewed, Lin Junzhi had no connection to the Su Family, let alone any relative relationship.

"Maybe you saw her at a banquet?"

Su Yu and Su Xi had attended several banquets—perhaps that was when they had a passing encounter?

"Maybe so!"

【Mom doesn't have much impression of it, so it's probably not important!】

Su Yu's attention was quickly drawn to the contestants of the Diamond Bachelorette selection!

They were also a group of beauties!

Su Yu squealed with excitement!

"Mom, why are all these girls so pretty?!"

"Right, she likes to eat meat."

"You're not a guest invited by our family. How did you get in?"

"Is that so? If you're free, you can bring Can Can over to play. Xiao Yu is basically at the company during the day and at home at night. She also loves playing with Can Can!"

Right up until the leaderboard ended and the livestream closed, the father-daughter duo still hadn't settled the outcome! The watching viewers complained in the APP that Su Yi was match-fixing, deliberately bullying Su Yu whose short legs couldn't run fast, teasing her for fun!

In the end, it was Su Xi who used two sugar paintings, two plates of beef skewers, and a bowl of lamb soup to bribe Su Yu into accepting Su Yi's apology, and the matter was dropped just like that!

The banquet was wrapping up when a man and a woman knocked on the door of Su Yu's private room.

Tang Tang was also surprised! If this ability was put to good use, the future would be full of promise!

Tang Tang had already mapped out several life paths for Su Yu in her head, but when she turned to look, Su Yu was busy scheming with Tang Can and Liang Yan about which skewers they could order next.

"Their assets, education, looks, and family backgrounds are all excellent—I simply can't choose! My eyes are dazzled from picking!"

"Compensate me for my snacks!"

Lately, Ji Yan had been chatting with Mingmeng and Xie Xin Yi, sharing gossip, picking out jewelry, exchanging child-rearing experiences, and selecting children's supplies. Having one more Tang Tang was fine too. She would definitely need those things later!

Most crucially, Su Yu had a feather duster in hand, which could close the distance and poke Su Yi's... thigh!

Su Yu initially wanted to poke Su Yi's butt, but she worried that next time the feather duster would land on her, so she chose to poke Su Yi's thigh instead!

Su Yu could only poke at Su Yi's thigh, still not feeling satisfied. "Stop right there!"

"Okay!"

Liang Yan and Tang Can were very decisive—the former cast her vote for the first person she saw wearing an outfit she liked, while the latter left the choice to her aunt.

Su Yu practiced martial arts and often strolled in the garden; she couldn't run fast but had strong endurance. Su Yi was older than Su Yu, but his body had only recently recovered, so he ran fast but had weak endurance.

Su Yu glared at Su Yi while walking over to Su Xi's side. "Why did you eat my snacks?"

"Does she love to eat?"

"You have the nerve to say that—who was the shameless one who did it!"

The atmosphere in the private room was somewhat heavy, but the three children happily munching on skewers lifted the adults' spirits a little.

Ji Yan and the Tang Tang couple, who had noticed something was wrong and rushed over, escorted the three children to Su Yu's room.

【Hehe, after dividing up the lamb skewers and beef skewers, could there also be pork skewers and seafood skewers?】

Su Yu pulled a feather duster out of the bag next to Su Xi, then charged at Su Yi.

Su Yu truly couldn't decide, so she gave her vote to Xu Mo Bai.

【These are the ones I can remember for now. If I forget later, Wulongcha can help me look them up!】

"Do you not know in your heart whether you want face or food?"

Wulongcha hadn't even had time to tell Su Yu that Ji Yan was feeling down before Ji Yan adjusted herself.

The recognition banquet the Xu family was throwing for her was said to be even grander and more spectacular, and it would be during the New Year's holiday, so even more people would come! She was very worried about whether she could handle the pressure brought by unexpected events.

Ji Yan watched her daughter happily eating and sharing skewers, and suddenly felt much more at ease. Her daughter wouldn't let anything happen to her, and she too would work hard to give her daughter more backers!

"Where are my snacks?"

The man was shoved down by Zhu Xueheng. Just as he was about to lash out and make a scene, he heard a crisp child's voice ring out, and the content of the words sent a chill down his spine.

"That's right!"

Su Xi saw that Su Yu and Ji Yan were both fine and steadied his breathing. "Take the children upstairs. We'll handle this."

Su Xi watched as the livestream viewers were no longer paying attention to the leaderboard. The small betting pool was no longer about the contestants' names, but about whether Su Yu could hit Su Yi.

Unaware that they were being tracked by the livestream camera, Su Yu and Su Yi were still running merrily!

Ren Dugu learned the full story from Zhu Xueheng. "Xiao Yu, can you really remember all the guests who attended this morning's banquet?"

"No way—do you think I'm stupid?!"

Ji Yan's eyes were like knives, glaring viciously at the man. While shielding the three children, she pressed the button on her person to call security and bodyguards as fast as she could.

The woman standing outside the door was bewildered by this scene. She realized no one was paying attention to her and there was no familiar figure inside the room, so she left in a rage!

Su Xi and Su Yi arrived at the private room almost simultaneously with the security guards.

The materials for selecting the Diamond Bachelorette and the beauties overlapped. Su Yu quickly flipped past the familiar ones and looked at those she hadn't seen before.

"Impressive!"

【Both plates are empty!】

Did this man think he was dead?!

【I knew my uncle brought some!】

Su Yu shifted her position to look at the man's face head-on. 【This face—I have no impression of it. I don't think I saw him this morning. Wulongcha, have you seen him?】

Zhu Xueheng was furious!

"Can Can doesn't really like to eat, but she can manage a few extra bites when she's with your Xiao Yu."

Su Yu, who was sharing lamb soup and beef skewers with Liang Yan, Tang Can, and Mom, looked up. "May I ask who you're looking for?"

Where did Su Yi find such a weirdo!

Wulongcha checked the man's identity and the surveillance footage: 【He is not on your family's invitation list. He stayed here starting yesterday and slipped in during lunch.】

When Tang Can was in a bad mood, coaxing her to eat was truly hell difficulty! She could torment the whole family half to death! When other people were in a bad mood, they tormented themselves or other people; when Tang Can was in a bad mood, she tormented everyone!

On the other side, Su Yu generously distributed the skewers to the adults and children present.

"What?"

"If I hadn't counted, would I still be chasing you to hit you?"

"Aren't you stupid?"

Ren Dudu was, uncharacteristically, not being mean—genuine praise! Su Yu's memory was simply too good! That was over a hundred people!

The man walked over to Liang Lijiang, who was holding a computer and typing with a "rat-a-tat," and extended a hand: "Hello, may I add your WeChat?"

Su Xi, Su Yi, and the couple Liang Lijiang stayed in the private room to figure out the man's identity.

"You're the stupid one—you didn't even know your food was gone!"

His older brother was right—Su Yu's short little legs couldn't outrun him!

After casting her vote, Su Yu wanted to eat while checking the rankings, but she saw that the plate beside her was empty.

Zhu Xueheng could hold back no longer: "Get lost!"

Zhu Xueheng countered with a grappling move, pinning the man down hard. The knife hidden on his body also fell out due to Zhu Xueheng's pressing motion.

"I want to have a private relationship with you. May I court you?"

"It doesn't matter—I can wait for you to get divorced!"

They felt both heartache and helplessness toward her!

Fortunately, Tang Can was usually fairly sensible; she would obediently eat the nutritious meals arranged by the family.

Su Yi quickly opened the private room door and ran out, laughing smugly as he ran.

Liang Yan held the sugar painting in his hand: "Little sister Xiao Yu, I saw your daddy eat it!"

Tang Tang leaned close to Ji Yan.

……

Su Yu raised an eyebrow: 【He wants to be the other man—why not set up a "Other Men in the Circle" ranking?】

【Actually bullying a little child—simply too despicable!】

The man's other hand swung from behind his back to his front, holding a beautiful bouquet of red roses, and the flowers were presented in front of Liang Lijiang.

"I'm married!"

"For business cooperation, you can send to the corporate email; a dedicated person will contact you."

Ji Yan held the sugar painting her daughter had given her, filled with worry. This was her first time attending a banquet hosted by her own family, and she hadn't expected something to go wrong.

If Liang Lijiang hadn't been so busy, Ji Yan would have wanted Liang Lijiang to come over and share the experience of raising a child. After all, she had single-handedly raised Liang Yan until he was five!

"Sure! Then I'll visit your house when I'm free. I heard Mingmeng and Xie Xin Yi are both staying at the Su Family residence now? Wasn't the Ye Shu matter resolved?"
