Chapter 24: Trending on Hot Search

Su Yu originally wanted to tell her elder uncle and great‑grandmother to call her mother, but then thought it was a funeral matter, and with Su Yi acting that way, the adults might find it inauspicious. She abandoned the idea.

At that moment, a keyword in Su Xi's words filled Su Yu with anger!

"They watch the digging go deeper and deeper. Netizens even began digging back to the school period, putting the siblings' family on the Hot Search to divert netizens' attention."

【What the heck! Those aren't my mother's family!】

Yang Zhichun took the tablet, looked at the Hot Search, and Su Yu leaned over to watch together.

#Ji Yan's biological younger brother gambling, or the organizer#

#Ji Yan's parents claim the gambling funds were provided by Ji Yan#

【My mother isn't their family's biological one, so how could she be a biological younger brother?! Shameless, they even call themselves biological parents! The fake grandfather might not know, but the fake grandmother definitely does! She actually has the nerve to say that!】

The tablet's Weibo video auto‑played. In the video, a woman cried with a runny nose and tears, pleading with her daughter to help her brother, and saying that before Ji Yan gave money, the brother wasn't like this.

Damn!

Su Yu wants to smash a rotten egg in her face! Her son gambles and still blames Ji Yan for giving too much money? Didn't they themselves, using the great‑grandmother's name, swindle it from Mom?

"I'll have the PR department push Xiao Yu's Hot Search up and take down those two. Then investigate further."

"Great‑grandmother, I want to see my Hot Search."

"Alright!"

#Afternoon tea two hundred yuan#

【Ah, does this count as my Hot Search? Forget it, I'm satisfied just having the tablet to look at.】

【Orange isn't tangerine: Who in the family gets it, two hundred‑yuan afternoon tea, I just shout "Long live the Princess!" Image. JPG, Image. JPG】

【Bunny not tasty: Envious, really extravagant, just sent a bank card to myself to buy, so thoughtful!】

【NPC in this world: p, right? Still the Princess, the Qing dynasty is over!】

【Human affairs, human world: No p, not only the head office here, but all subsidiaries under Su Clan have it. Image. JPG】

【Can't love: +1, Image. JPG】

【Passing netizen: Retract it, I'll just go online, how can you hurt people from a distance?!】

【Nan Lan Lan: Pah, stingy capitalist, it's only two hundred yuan, I thought it was twenty thousand!】

【Human affairs, human world replying to Nan Lan Lan: Two hundred yuan and still stingy? If you use some brain to check how many people are in our Su Clan Group, you won't think it's small. Hundreds of thousands of employees at two hundred each is tens of millions!】

【The capitalists who should hang streetlights: Laughing, that's all, and you're satisfied? The heir only steps onto the stage with a few tens of millions, doesn't she need hundreds of millions to match her status?】

【Where is the sense of achievement for human affairs replying to the capitalists who should hang streetlights: It's a hundred times better than your new‑old transition, where you forced people to pay extra to prepare talent for a stage performance that was awkward and ate up team‑building rest time.】

……

【Wow, Su Clan's employees are so good at retorting.】

Su Yu watched with great pleasure.

Su Xi transferred money to the investigators on his phone, letting them clarify Ji Yan's matter, then turned and called Su Yu.

"Having finished looking at her own Hot Search, sit back down."

"Oh!"

Su Yu obediently sat back, looking out the window. They were moving from skyscrapers toward ordinary buildings. In this direction, the more she looked, the more it seemed to be heading to a place with a strong everyday atmosphere, not like a wealthy mansion.

……

Investigation Agency

"Su Clan has another order, one million! Hurry, hurry, send the nearest few over quickly, and let others who can reinforce do so."

Seeing the messages in the group, an extra one‑million order to investigate Ji Yan, and the junior also checked the ten‑hundred‑thousand order just sent by the Jiang Family to investigate Su Yu.

The junior looked at the boss with some hesitation.

"Boss, are we taking the Jiang Family's?"

"Take it, why not, we can just fudge it."

Meng Xianle, with lightning speed, sent messages to the investigators near Ji Yan's hometown, instructing them to be careful and not miss any information.

"How to fudge?"

"Just say Su Yu is a spendthrift in the Su Family! She spends hundreds of thousands casually. All those employees have two hundred each, why don't we?"

"Boss, we're not part of the Su Clan Group… They're all for group employees."

"Have we had any difference with Su Clan Group's employees in the past two days?"

"Uh… except we didn't attach the Su Clan name, otherwise there isn't."

Besides the newly received small Jiang order, the big and small orders in the past two days were all from Su Clan.

Those rich‑housewives who love to investigate mistresses don't know what's gotten into them; they all cancelled orders, each rushing to the hospital! What, a collective cold?

The junior was genuinely puzzled. But without payment, he wasn't willing to investigate.

"We're almost becoming Su Clan's exclusive agency; so what's wrong with us taking a two‑hundred‑yuan afternoon tea? That's two hundred yuan, and our thousand‑person investigation agency is only two hundred thousand!"

Thinking that he has no claim to this money makes his heart ache! The Jiang broken order is only a hundred thousand! Had he known, he would have merged his agency into Su's! Take the money and then say goodbye to Su.

The junior could see that the boss's daily money‑dream addiction had resurfaced.

"Boss, let's keep talking about Su Yu. Besides spending money like water, what else does she have?"

"Chubby, eats a lot, disobedient and gets scolded, loves playing on the phone… The Su Family's attitude toward her makes her learn, with occasional lecturing…"

"Gluttonous, mischievous, addicted to electronic devices… Strict requirements, serious teaching…"

Jiang Qiyu breathed a sigh of relief upon receiving this investigation report. He didn't know why Su Yu didn't speak about life in the Jiang family, but as long as he keeps it covered, if Su Yu doesn't say, no one will know.

Over time, no one will remember.

Jiang Qiyu returned to the villa and saw the family doctor again.

"Butler, go fetch a few young masters back."

Shui Wanhua came down from upstairs, "Why fetch them? They're studying well there, why bring them back?"

Shui Wanhua didn't wait for Jiang Qiyu to answer, then said, "You should have taken back Jiang Xiangxiang! We raised her for three years for nothing—I put in so much effort! She owes the Jiang Family, and she must settle that before she can leave!"

"You're not crazy enough yet?"

The butler, upon hearing this, immediately told all the servants to leave. The family doctor who had just been about to go report Jiang Yuzhen's condition also sensibly went back to the room.

Seeing Jiang Yuzhen suddenly burst into tears again, the family doctor felt annoyed. At just three years old, she's already so good at acting—wouldn't it be better to put that effort into her studies?

From yesterday until now, he's come back and forth ten times!

Clearly, yesterday's physical examination report concluded there was nothing wrong; the premature birth issue had already been healed. Her body is hardly different from a normal child's. As long as she watches her diet and avoids allergens, she'll be fine.

But Jiang Yuzhen fainted at home? Yet she shows no signs of allergies all over.

Besides pretending and having a mental issue, the family doctor couldn't think of any other cause. Especially her talent for bursting into tears at the drop of a hat—his girlfriend doesn't even come close when she throws a tantrum over gifts.

In the Jiang Family's living room, Shui Wanhua looked at Jiang Qiyu with tears in her eyes and said, "You're saying I'm crazy?"

"Her reputation as a genius is something we gave her!"

"If it weren't for us, could she have received such a good education?"

"If it weren't for her, my daughter wouldn't have started her education late, and now she's falling behind everywhere!"

"If Ji Yan takes offense, do you know what your behavior amounts to?"
