Chapter 241: Huo Huo Won

"But I want to see!"

If my little friends have something, she also wants it!

"Can Can, why do you want to watch? Do you really like weddings?"

Tang Can honestly said, "No, I just want to take you all home to play!"

She has a rather indifferent impression of weddings. Her parents rarely spend time with her, so getting married again would, to her, simply mean staying at home for a while, and the amount of time they spend with her probably wouldn't change—no real meaning. She had attended her aunt's wedding before and found nothing fun about it!

"But the wedding ceremony isn't held at home."

【You can't just have your parents hold another wedding either!】

Liang Yan also nodded, "Our family doesn't hold weddings at home."

Yesterday, from mother up to the family dog downstairs, everyone knew that dad had booked a hotel for the wedding.

"Why? Is your family that small?"

Tang Can remembered that both her aunt's house and her own had hosted banquets. Her aunt's wedding with Ren Tiandu seemed to have been held at the aunt's house.

Liang Yan choked on her words. Their house wasn't really small, but not large either. She had heard dad say that the wedding had been booked at Xiao Yu's younger sister's hotel. So Xiao Yu's younger sister's hotel is bigger than theirs?

"Can Can, a wedding will invite many people, not all of whom are close friends. Do you want to invite ordinary classmates to come over and play?"

"Don't want to!"

Tang Can answered instinctively, then sounded a bit dejected, "So when can you all come to my house to play?"

Last time she invited Ruan Huhu to her house, Ruan Huhu declined. She had thought that if there were a wedding, Ruan Huhu would come home with her!

Liang Yan tilted her head, "You want to invite us to your house to play? We could do it tomorrow! Tomorrow is Saturday, we don't have class!"

Su Yu thought for a moment, "I need to ask my mother!"

If Mom says it's okay, she'll go. If Mom says not to, she won't!

"Yay!"

Tang Can is very happy!

"Why did you all come today? Not going to class again?"

【Just remembered, today is Friday. Did Zhu Xueheng give them both a leave again? Will they fall behind in their studies?】

Liang Yan sighed; probably no peer has a more eventful academic record than hers, "There was a bad guy who hit people, messed up everything in the classroom—desks, the blackboard were covered in chaos, making it impossible to hold class. The incident also involved another kid. The teacher sent us back to the dormitory, so I called dad."

Tang Can also didn't want to stay in the school dorm, "I heard Uncle is going to bring Huo Huo to the Su Clan to pick out clothes, so I came along."

"Hitting people?"

"Yeah, that kid who hit people fell in love, but the person he likes doesn't like him! That girl likes someone else, but that someone doesn't like that girl!"

【What a complicated love triangle, and such a young one too!】

The last time they looked at those charts, Liang Yan and Tang Can were scolded by their families, and already knew that kids who date at this age aren't good kids! Kids their age should concentrate on studies they don't really like. Hence, their remarks are full of disdain.

"Some people still think he's cool!"

Liang Yan didn't understand— is violence and disrespect really something cool?

"Yeah, why do we have to hear such brain‑dead statements?"

Tang Can felt unlucky to have run into such an off‑putting character!

"Is it that kid who bothered you last time?"

Tang Can and Liang Yan shook their heads, "It's another one."

Liang Yan knew more, "That guy's father has already been fired by my mother! That guy's father also transferred schools with him!"

Zhu Xueheng had been listening nearby; he recalled that man's matter and moved over to Su Xi's side.

"Why didn't you warn me earlier?"

Su Xi frowned, "Warn about what?"

Zhu Xueheng read Su Xi's expression, "No wonder you didn't let Su Yu play with the kids from your company; it was to prevent those people from coming up with ideas they shouldn't."

Zhu Xueheng never imagined that his former assistant was so obtuse, being fond of a man who was raising a child, and even demoting herself to do work for a man of lower rank. That man's original wife gave birth to a son and was about to run away; if she thought a little, she should have realized there was something going on! That man was also addicted to extreme gambling, and his schemes were targeting his own daughter!

Su Xi: I simply think letting her out isn't safe, for her or for anyone else!

Su Xi's gaze fell on the documents, ignoring Zhu Xueheng.

"But it seems even if you remind them, it won't help."

Those people covet their family's estate; upon learning that Zhu Xueheng and Liang Lijiang won't have another child, they'll definitely set their sights on Liang Yan.

Zhu Xueheng actually thought his daughter's transfer was a good move. That school is a private school within the public system; its admission standards are high, and public schools are stricter than private ones, so they won't allow early dating.

If it were the school Liang Yan previously attended, teachers wouldn't intervene at all, and those 'pigs' parents would probably be delighted, eager to marry Liang Yan and swallow the fortune that Liang Yan and Liang Lijiang earned. The worse Liang Yan's reputation gets, the more it benefits them.

Su Xi ignored the now‑raving Zhu Xueheng, and after finishing, took Su Yu home.

"Goodbye, little sister Xiao Yu!"

"Goodbye, Huo Huo!"

"Ruan Huhu, come over to play tomorrow!"

"Yeah, yeah, I asked Mom and I'll go!"

Zhu Xueheng took Liang Yan home. Ren Tiandu also picked up Tang Can downstairs at the Su Clan.

On the ride home, Su Yu called out to her mother as usual.

"Mom, I'm back!"

"Welcome back, sweetheart! Hungry?"

"Hungry!"

Su Yu happily ate under Ji Yan's care. Su Xi and Su Yi stood by as eating companions NPCs. Both the older and younger didn't pay them any attention.

After the meal, Su Yu remembered the promise she made to Tang Can.

"Mom, can I go to Can Can's house to play? Can Can invited me to her house tomorrow!"

If you want to go, just go.

Ji Yan has a very good impression of Tang Can and Tang Tang.

Su Yu, using a cute baby voice, as sweet as she can, "Mom, will you go with me? I want you to accompany me!"

Su Yi widened his eyes and said, "Su Yu, you went too far! Last night you acted coquettishly, saying you couldn't sleep in a strange place and wanted your mom to sleep with you; what are you thinking today?"

Sure!

Ji Yan is, of course, willing to accompany Su Yu; previously, when Su Yi was ill, it was unavoidable for Su Xi to take the restless Su Yu with him. Now that Su Yi has recovered, he can't keep bothering his older brother all the time.

Yay, Mom, let's go pick out gifts! We want to bring gifts for Can Can's family!

Okay!

Su Yi has a premonition that while they're picking out the gifts, he'll end up alone in an empty room again tonight!

The facts proved he was right!

Early the next morning, Su Yi stood at Su Yu's room door, looking pitifully at Ji Yan.

"Yan Yan, can I go with you all?"

Coquettishness, Su Yi is also a professional! Back in the day, Su Yi used his skill of acting cute to get his wife to marry him as soon as she reached the right age!

But someone his size simply can't compete with the tiny, baby‑like Su Yu.

"Xiao Yu told Can Can and the others that if I take her there, and you also go, it might not be good."

Ji Yan unconditionally sides with her daughter. Su Yu doesn't want Su Yi to go, so she won't take Su Yi there.

Su Yi: … I want to cry!

Su Yi watched helplessly as Su Yu, holding Ji Yan's hand, led a group of gift‑carrying bodyguards out the door, then turned and went upstairs to find his older brother for a way out.

In the car, Su Yu and Ji Yan together selected the flower‑child outfits for Zhu Xueheng's wedding as well as everyday attire.

After flipping through the booklet, the car arrived at the Tang Family.

"Mom, it's Can Can!"

Su Yu got off the car, hoisting the gift for Tang Can, and ran quickly toward Tang Can, giving her a big hug!

"Soft and fluffy, I miss you so much!"

"Can Can, I miss you too! Where's Huo Huo?"

"She hasn't arrived yet!"

【I thought I was the latest!】

Thinking that, Su Yu looked up and greeted Tang Tang, who was coming to meet them, "Auntie, good morning!"

Tang Tang answered with a smiling face, "Xiao Yu, good morning!"

Tang Can looked at Ji Yan, who arrived with a group of gift‑carrying bodyguards, and politely greeted.

"Auntie, good morning!"

"Can Can, good morning!"

Tang Tang and Ji Yan exchanged a smile, while Su Yu had already been pulled inside the house by Tang Can.

"Look, these are our cats; they're so soft and comfortable! This one is named Cake, my mother's cat; this one is named Egg Roll, my aunt's cat! I specifically had my aunt bring Egg Roll over!"

Su Yu leaned forward to look, "Thank you, Can Can, you're so kind! They're so cute!"

Both Cake and Egg Roll are of the Minuet breed, with round eyes, chubby bodies, and long fur, looking both goofy and adorable! The two cats differ in that one is light orange with white, and the other is black and white.

"Meow~"

"Meow~"

The two cats, awakened by Tang Can and Su Yu, weren't angry; instead they acted coquettishly, rubbing against Tang Can's hand, asking for food.

Tang Can generously took out two pieces of dried fish to feed them.

"Soft and fluffy, you feed them too; they're so easy to bribe—give them dried fish and they'll obey, letting you pet them!"

Tang Can remembered that whenever her aunt's good friend came over, as long as they held cat treats or dried fish, these two unscrupulous cats would immediately abandon her, crowding around the person with food, rolling onto their backs and acting cute!

Su Yu took the dried fish from Tang Can's hand, and the black‑and‑white cat immediately rubbed against her. Its round eyes looked expectantly at Su Yu, and its soft meow continued until it ate the fish.

Su Yu fed the cat while petting its fur. Watching the cat's happy demeanor, she didn't forget the other little companion.

"When Huo Huo arrives, we can feed them again; she should like it too!"

Tang Can hadn't decided how to answer yet when Tang Tang came over first.

"Can Can, something happened at Huo Huo's home, so she can't come over; can the two of you play together?"

Tang Can nodded cheerfully, "Okay!"

She can take care of Soft and fluffy, without needing an adult present!

"Auntie, what happened at Huo Huo's home?"

Tang Tang shook her head, "I'm not really sure either."

"Alright, thank you, Auntie!"

【Wulongcha, can you check that for me!】

【Okay!】
