Chapter 261: Ex-Girlfriends and Ex-Boyfriends

Su Yi said aggrievedly, "I handed it in too! Su Yu said it right in front of Yan Yan—my surprise almost turned into a fright."

At the time, the only two words in Su Yi's head were "screwing Dad over"—he couldn't think of anything else at all!

Yan Yan said there was no need to spend that money, so Su Yi naturally didn't think about it. He hadn't expected Su Yu to care.

"If she cares, why does she keep raiding my private stash?"

First there was giving his wife a surprise, then his daughter screwing him over—Su Yi couldn't save up any money at all! How could he propose without money, how could he hold a wedding?

Su Xi thought of the report Meng Xianle had recently submitted.

"Someone online is using the fact that you two aren't holding a wedding to smear Ji Yan."

Su Yi's eyes went wide. "Is something wrong with their heads? They can smear someone over this?"

Su Yi immediately registered an account. "Big Brother, have someone at the company verify me!"

Su Xi sent a message to Qin Tao, and Su Yi's Weibo verification changed to "Father of the Su Clan Group Heir."

Seeing the verification, Su Yi's eyes welled with tears. "Big Brother, I'm your own flesh-and-blood younger brother!"

Your favoritism is way too obvious!

"Hurry up, we need to go backstage to check the computers."

"Okay!"

Su Yi immediately snapped a photo of the wedding venue's interior, uploaded it, and added a caption: "@Ji Yan, wifey, when are you going to give me a chance to hold a wedding?"

That wasn't enough for Su Yi after posting; he went over and poked Su Yu, who was absorbed in eating pastries.

Su Yu bristled. "What are you doing?"

【Who is it, actually interrupting me while I'm eating?】

"Daddy?"

【You'd better have something important to find me for!】

Su Yi handed over his phone. "Xiao Yu, help me share it."

Su Yu glanced at it, then took the phone and smiled. "Sure thing!"

Su Yu pulled out her own phone from her little pocket. Not only did she share it, she also added a line: "@Ji Yan Mommy, Daddy has private stash money he didn't hand over to you again! //@Ji Yan wifey, when are you going to give me a chance to hold a wedding?"

Su Yi, who had been happy the previous second, pulled a long face the next. "Do you not want me and your mommy to hold a wedding?"

"No, I don't!"

【Absolutely not!】

"Then why do you always want to raid my private stash?"

Su Yu grinned happily. "I want to remind you who's in charge at home!"

【Who told you to get scammed whenever you have money?】

"Heh, go brush your teeth—there are pastry crumbs all over your teeth!"

After saying that, Su Yi bolted as if dogs were chasing him and returned to Su Xi's side.

Su Yu gave a "hmph" and continued eating her pastries.

【What a coward!】

Wulongcha came back after making a round. Seeing that the three children had finished their pastries and were DIY-ing their favorite bouquets, it reminded Su Yu: 【Zhu Xueheng might not know that not only did Liang Lijiang's ex-boyfriends come, his ex-girlfriends also came over, and photos of both parties with their exes have been put into the computers. Once the wedding officially begins, their photo gallery will turn into memories of the two of them with their exes.】

Zhu Xueheng might invite ex-boyfriends over to show off his successful rise to become the ultimate winner, but given that someone had been gossiping in front of Liang Yan, the likelihood of him inviting ex-girlfriends was extremely slim.

【Aren't the photos Uncle's responsibility?】

【That's right. I found the photos, and there are real people too—they even brought banners. I suspect whoever's behind this has some twisted taste, actually making those people disguise themselves as waiters, coming in one by one holding trays to fool the bodyguards at the entrance.】

Even though both Zhu Xueheng and Liang Lijiang had normal breakups, them joining forces to pull banners could become an entirely different story in other people's mouths. For either side of the wedding, it would be a very awkward matter.

【But this isn't right—what's being ruined is our hotel's reputation!】

This was a high-end banquet venue. What high-end banquets valued most, besides the venue itself, was security. If the bride and groom were humiliated, people would either watch for entertainment or question the hotel's security for letting so many unrelated people in. This kind of hotel's clientele was wealthy people. If word of mouth went bad, this hotel wouldn't be far from closing down.

【Where's my mommy?】

Wulongcha didn't know the topic could shift so fast, but answered reflexively: 【Ren Du doesn't know where he went. Tang Tang had wine splashed on her and felt uneasy, so she asked your mommy to go with her to change clothes.】

【During the time I've been at the banquet, have any of Zhu Xueheng's or Liang Lijiang's girlfriends or boyfriends appeared within my line of sight?】

Su Yu and the others were facing the entrance; as long as someone came in, theoretically, they could all see them.

Wulongcha checked the surveillance footage. 【Yes, you looked up too.】

【Then that's fine! Please help me keep an eye on my mommy. If necessary, spend my money directly to Draw card to help Mommy! If I can't resolve things on my end, I'll come find you directly!】

【Understood!】

Wulongcha whooshed away.

Su Yu stopped her flower-selecting hands and stayed motionless for quite a while. Liang Yan and Tang Can both looked at her curiously.

Tang Can was the first to reach out and poke Su Yu. "Squishy, what's wrong with you?"

"Does little sister Xiao Yu not like flowers?"

"Huo Huo, do you know where your daddy and mommy are?"

"I know!"

"Then will you take me to find them?"

"Okay!"

Liang Yan led Su Yu without hesitation toward a corner of the glass room. When she got there, she gently pressed the artificial flower on the glass. "Click"—the decorative vines split in two, and the glass slowly slid to one side, revealing a doorway wide enough for an adult to pass through.

"This leads to the interior of the hotel. Daddy and Mommy will come out from this side."

Liang Yan walked in, and Su Yu and Tang Can saw busy chefs and waiters.

"These are the uncles and aunties who make pastries for us! Daddy said the kitchen is placed here to ensure fast service."

Liang Yan walked familiarly to the end of the corridor and knocked on the door.

"Mom, are you there?"

"I'm here."

The one who opened the door was Zhu Xueheng. Earlier the makeup artist had suggested that he and his wife get made up separately, saying it was inauspicious to meet before the wedding, but Zhu Xueheng and Liang Lijiang didn't believe that and decided to walk the red carpet together, getting made up in the same room.

"Sweetie, what's wrong?"

Looking at Su Yu and Tang Can behind Liang Yan, he said, "Not enough snacks? I'll have the chef make another batch for you."

Zhu Xueheng wondered whether Su Xi was mistreating the children; his family's darling had prepared so many snacks that, not to mention three kids, it would be enough for three pigs in one meal! How could it still not be enough?

"It's me looking for uncle and auntie; don't you have phones?"

When Su Yu saw Zhu Xueheng like that, she knew he definitely hadn't received Su Xi's and Su Yi's messages and had no idea the photos had been swapped.

"Right, our phones are with the assistant. Do you want to use a phone?"

Zhu Xueheng looked around, recalling that the assistant had just gone to handle a sudden issue; he was about to buy the makeup artist's phone for Su Yu and the other two to use, when Su Yu's words startled him.

"Uncle, did Uncle Hai Fei come because you invited him?"

Liang Lijiang, upon hearing Su Yu's question, immediately sensed something was off and told the makeup artist to stop working. Having just applied a layer of powder, her complexion a bit pale, Liang Lijiang turned back and asked, "Did you see him?"

Su Yu nodded, then her eyes darted around, making a face as if she wanted to speak but found it hard to.

Zhu Xueheng snapped out of his shock at his wife's ex‑boyfriend actually attending their wedding, saw Su Yu's little expression, and realized the girl was acting, "Just say whatever you want to say."

"Uncle, I also saw your ex‑girlfriend!"

"!!!"

Zhu Xueheng instinctively explained to Liang Lijiang, "Honey, I didn't invite them!"

After the explanation, Zhu Xueheng realized that Su Yu had met Hai Fei, but shouldn't have met his ex‑girlfriend, right?

Liang Lijiang pressed the emergency call button, and a group of bodyguards swooshed in!

"Miss Liang!"

"Okay, half of you go retrieve our phones, the other half put on hotel waiter uniforms to check the guest list; anyone not on the list, escort them out!"

Liang Lijiang emphasized the words "retrieve" and "escort." If the assistant is compromised, rescue the person; if the assistant betrays, seize the items back!

The bodyguards understood their employer's orders and were about to leave when a three‑year‑old little bean stopped them.

"Wait, those uncles and aunties aren't wearing guest clothes! They're wearing waiter outfits."

The bodyguards who were to clear people at the wedding venue halted, looking at their two employers.

Zhu Xueheng felt something was off, "Uncles, aunties?"

Su Yu looked up at Zhu Xueheng earnestly, "Yes, uncle, your security work is lacking; so many have slipped in!"

Liang Lijiang told the head bodyguard to go find the hotel manager to handle the matter. Fortunately they discovered it early; most of the people at the venue are well‑connected families, so even if something happens they won't speak out recklessly.

The bodyguards who stayed put left quickly. They wanted to prove that it wasn't their security that was inadequate!

Zhu Xueheng furrowed his brow at Su Yu, "How do you know... them?"

Zhu Xueheng originally wanted to ask, "How do you know my wife's ex‑boyfriends and my ex‑girlfriends?" but he glanced sideways at Liang Yan and changed his wording.

"Uncle, your point should be that you don't have a phone, other parts went wrong, and you don't even know!"

【Ahhh! Pig teammate! Can't you think about the other side, the photos! Any backup!】

Inside, Su Yu felt like a groundhog screaming, yet she had to keep a calm face; the tug of two emotions made her aura a bit restless!

She pulled a phone from her pocket, "My uncle's number is already dialed, just waiting for you to call. If you can't, get external help!"

Liang Yan and Tang Can heard it half‑and‑half, but understood that the wedding banquet had run into trouble.

Tang Can decisively snatched the phone from Su Yu's hand and pressed the dial button.

The phone rang for a few seconds, then a familiar voice on the other end said, "Xiao Yu, what's wrong?"

Tang Can didn't use speakerphone, and Su Yu still heard the words clearly; she hurriedly said, "Uncle, I'm fine, I came to find uncle and auntie!"

Zhu Xueheng was pulled over by Liang Yan, took the phone to his ear, "Su Xi, something's up here; our phones are with the assistant. When you have time, check the other procedures."

"What, the photos have a problem? How did you solve it?"
