Chapter 230: Seeing Her

"Yes, we're staying for now. It's been resolved, but Mingmeng and Xie Xin Yi both feel it's more convenient to do the checkups at the Su family."

The medical room previously served Su Yi exclusively, but now it served Mingmeng and Xie Xin Yi. Ye Shu and Shi Xu had brought quite a lot of equipment needed by pregnant women to the Su family manor.

A few days ago, the medical room had already been converted into a maternity ward.

"Why is it more convenient?"

Ji Yan recounted the situation at home.

Tang Tang chatted with Ji Yan with increasing enthusiasm; Ren Dandu, bored, turned his attention to Su Yu, who had finished her skewers and was clearing the plates.

"Xiao Yu, why don't you get paid for going to work?"

"Employing child labor is illegal!"

【You're such a big person, yet you don't understand the law? No wonder your parents didn't hand the company over to you.】

"But you're already in the company's records—officially a Su Clan employee."

"I don't draw a salary! Being in the records just represents my identity!"

【The company's records are just records, not an announcement. The announcement only declares that I'm the heir!】

In terms of employment relationships, in the entire company, besides her uncle, who else would dare to manage her? When she entered the company, everything was arranged by her uncle, and she never signed a contract. Without an employment relationship and without drawing a salary, she wasn't a child laborer!

Ren Dandu thought to himself: no wonder no one reported her—it wasn't out of regard for Su Xi's face, but because there was no evidence!

Su Yu placed the plates at the recycling station by the door and started pestering Ji Yan; she wanted pork skewers and seafood skewers.

"Mom, we're bored anyway, let's eat, drink, and play games together in the room~"

Su Yu's room had a gaming area equipped with VR games. The three children weren't allowed to play, but they could watch the three adults play.

Ji Yan felt Su Yu's tummy—it wasn't very round, so she probably hadn't eaten her fill.

"Mom, I didn't eat enough!"

【Chasing Dad took a lot of energy, I'm genuinely a bit hungry!】

"Then promise Mom you'll eat some vegetables?"

Su Yu looked at Ji Yan pitifully. "Do I have to? I ate vegetables at lunch!"

"Sweetie, how about eating a little more?"

"Fine!"

【Mom said a little, so just a little!】

Su Yu really wanted to keep eating meat skewers, and also wanted seafood skewers.

Ji Yan ordered vegetables, meat skewers, and seafood skewers brought up. Ren Dandu and Tang Tang had already started playing games.

All three children cheered for Tang Tang; these spectators were even more nervous than Tang Tang, the player.

"Left, left!"

"There's an enemy on the right!"

"Something up top is about to fall!"

Su Yu, Liang Yan, and Tang Can bounced around in that area, wishing they could personally grab the character and turn it!

"Sweetie, time to eat!"

"Coming!"

Su Yu walked over cheerfully, holding her hands under the tray in Mom's hands to steady it.

"Mom, you eat too!"

"Huh, why is it all on plates? Aren't these skewers?"

Su Yu picked up a dish of grilled eggplant, picked up a piece with chopsticks, and took a bite.

【Mm, still tastes bad, but I guess it's good among the bad!】

"I had someone remove the sticks. When you watch them play games, they bounce around from time to time—holding sticks would be a bit dangerous."

"Mom, you're so nice!"

【Mom is amazing! So thorough!】

"Huo Huo, Can Can, take your food over there and eat while you watch!"

"Coming!"

Tang Can and Liang Yan both ran over. Tang Can chose a plate of potato slices and a plate of squid slices, then went back to sit beside Tang Tang. When Tang Tang's game character was resting, she fed her squid slices, while Tang Can herself ate the potato slices.

Liang Yan carried a plate with several shrimp back, put on gloves, and gnawed while watching.

Ren Dandu, smelling the food:... Did no one think of me?

"Xiao Yu, grab me a plate of food—just put the end with the stick near my hand."

Su Yu was easygoing about it. "Uncle, what would you like to eat? Also, the sticks have all been taken off!"

Ren Dandu didn't answer.

Su Yu ran over to Ren Dandu in confusion.

"Uncle, you're wearing earphones—how am I supposed to talk to you?"

Su Yu tentatively poked Ren Dandu's hand.

"Just put it there!"

Su Yu poked again.

"What's wrong?"

Ren Dandu realized something was off; he freed one hand and took off an earphone.

"Uncle, the sticks have been removed. I can bring you chopsticks. Do you want lotus root or pork meatballs?"

"Pork!"

Ren Dandu quickly put the earphone back in and continued controlling his game character.

Su Yu puts the pork meatballs and chopsticks beside Ren Tiandu, then runs back to get the shrimp she likes to eat.

Su Yi comes up first, intending to sit beside his wife, but finds that Su Yu has already taken the only spot next to Ji Yan.

"Xiao Yu, why don't you go over and sit?"

"I only want to sit right next to Mom!"

Su Yu chews the shrimp in her mouth and mercilessly refuses!

Su Yi wants Ji Yan to decide, and Ji Yan concentrates on getting a scallop for her daughter.

"Who taught you this child's manners? So immature!"

"You ask me, the one who taught me manners?"

Su Yu turns her head and sees a somewhat familiar woman. Isn't this the woman who came with that man and then left? Is she here looking for Su Yi?

"Right, you're really out of line; you and your dad are worlds apart! I need to have a proper talk with her!"

Su Yu nods; Su Yi gets a bad feeling.

"The person who taught me manners is in prison! If you want to see her, I can ask my big uncle to check your black history. But getting you into the same cell with her might require an application!"

【Is this a gift from dad? Great, I'll definitely give dad a return gift!】

Su Yi's heart feels icy cold!

He's being wronged!

The woman's face darkens with a "Swish!"

"How are you speaking!"

Tang Can tilts his head, "Softly speaking, the person who taught her manners is in prison; if you want to see that person, you have to go to prison. You don't get this simple logic—are you a slime?"

Tang Can thanks the tutor for the biology knowledge; she now has a new insult!

"I think the two kids are right!"

Hope Su Yu, seeing that he spoke up, won't take it out on her!

This has nothing to do with him!

"Yi bro!"

The child doesn't know about visitation; Su Yi couldn't possibly not know! And Ji Yan, what does it mean that she says nothing at all?

【Yo yo yo, do you still have to call Yi brother~】

Su Yu's inner child voice pinches her throat, imitating a coy, lilting tone to say the three words "Yi brother". Su Yi feels goosebumps all over. He thinks that even being struck by lightning would be more pleasant than hearing that sound!

He casually picks up a grilled oyster and sits beside Ren Tiandu.

Seeing Ren Tiandu fumbling for chopsticks like a blind person, Su Yi thoughtfully grabs a chopstick, pierces a meatball, and hands it over.

After he finishes, Su Yi again thoughtfully offers another chopstick, acting like a waiter, completely ignoring the woman who came in with him.

The woman points a spear at Ji Yan, "Ji Yan, why …"

Su Yu looks with sparkling eyes at the person who suddenly opened the door.

"Big uncle, this aunt wants to go into the cell and live with the person who taught me manners; could you check what crime she has that would let her enter the cell?"

Su Xi, with a cold expression, looks at the woman, "Get out!"

The woman doesn't dare utter a word, and leaves in a huff.

"From now on, don't pay attention to this woman."

Su Yu spreads her arms, clearly wanting a hug.

Su Xi pulls her into his arms; Su Yu, proud, wiggles her two sockless feet, "Big uncle, she called me impolite! How awful!"

"You are great, don't listen to others' nonsense. Moreover, some things wear human skin but aren't human. Not human speech isn't human words."

"Mm‑hm, I know!"

Su Yu smiles brightly. Her feet rest on the sofa; with Su Xi's help, she sits back on the sofa, leaning against Ji Yan.

Su Yi becomes even more uneasy; not filing a complaint is not Su Yu's style!

"Brother, she kept shouting that she wanted to bother grandma; I didn't think at the time, so I followed her, and we ended up here."

Su Xi at this moment wants to call his brother "Useless!", but there are still three kids present.

"Big uncle, would you like some seafood? It's super delicious!"

Su Yu points at the seafood set on the table. Su Xi looks at the pile of greens as plentiful as the leftover seafood and asks, "No vegetables?"

Su Yu proudly says, "I ate it! I had a serving of eggplant!"

"Very good!"

Su Xi pats Su Yu's head, then takes another portion of squid ink meatballs, sits on the opposite sofa, and watches Tang Tang and Ren Tiandu playing a game.

"Victory!"

Ren Tiandu happily removes his VR headset, startled by Su Yi holding a chopstick with a pork meatball stuck on it.

"Why is it you?"

"It's me, otherwise who would you think?"

Once the words left his mouth, Su Yi felt something odd. He quickly added, "I thought it was Xiao Yu! I'll do it myself."

"Oh, thanks, I thought it was Xiao Yu! I'll do it myself!"

Ren Tiandu takes the chopsticks from Su Yi's hand, carries his portion of meatballs over to Tang Tang's side. Seeing Ren Tiandu sit next to his own wife, Su Yi looks resentfully at Ji Yan.

Ji Yan pretends not to see, focusing on eating her own food.

Liang Yan looks at Tang Tang and Ren Tiandu, then at Xiao Yu's older brother, mother, and father, and runs to the seemingly smarter Su Xi, "Uncle, may I ask where my parents went?"

Xiao Yu's younger sister and Can Can's parents have all returned; only her parents are absent—how strange!

"They are making statements; they'll be up soon, don't worry."

"Okay, thank you, Uncle!"

Liang Yan went to get a serving of abalone, chewing while looking at the doorway.

She wanted to be the first to see Mom!

Having eaten her fill, Su Yu also came over and sat down together.

Su Yi's eyes lit up; they immediately stood up and went to take the seat next to Ji Yan.

Su Yu looked at the expressionless Liang Yan, "Huo Huo, are you worried about Mom and Dad?"

"Mm-hmm!"

【Wulongcha, are Liang Lijiang and Zhu Xueheng okay?】

【They're fine, doing well, Zhu Xueheng even has the mood to act!】

【That's good!】

Su Yu relaxed, "Huo Huo, how about we go find my uncle and ask what exactly happened?"

Liang Yan thought for a moment; with Xiao Yu as translator, she should be able to understand.

"Okay!"

The two kids got up from the stool, toddling on their short legs, and walked to Su Xi's side.

"Uncle, why did that uncle hurt my mom? He wasn't sending flowers to my mom, trying to court her, was he?"

Liang Yan remembered, the uncles who gave flowers to her mom had gentle expressions, arrogant expressions, fawning expressions… no matter which, they would never hurt her mom!

Even if Mom rejected them, they would just feel disappointed, waiting for the next time to come, or never come again!

But this uncle actually brought a knife!
