Chapter 263: Something Goes Wrong

The photo wall that was supposed to display pictures of the wedding's main characters was instead covered with embarrassing photos of the three of them!

Su Yu, Liang Yan, and Tang Can lived together, and while playing, they would sometimes get into squabbles—putting cute headbands on each other or scribbling on each other's faces were minor things. They would also make bets, with the loser having to wear distinctive outfits—not just plush ones, but also styles that looked festive yet tacky.

Those scenes might look adorable to adults, but to the people involved, they were mortifying!

Tang Can was furious!

Her cool image!

All gone!

"Who was it? Who put these up!"

Liang Yan was unhappy too—why did the photos have so much of her and Tang Can, but so little of little sister Xiao Yu? With so many heart-gesture photos, why hadn't they picked more of her with little sister Xiao Yu?

"This is too much. Who exactly picked these photos?"

Su Yu suspected it was Su Yi! She appeared in the photos few times, but every single time was a catastrophic destruction of her image—this kind of behavior mixed with personal grudges had to be from Su Yi, who never got along with her!

Seeing the arriving guests all laughing, Su Yu reminded the other two, "We should go swap out the photos now!"

Liang Yan and Tang Can agreed, and Liang Yan led Su Yu and Tang Can to the room where the photos were being played.

"Dad, it really was you!"

【Heh, you're the one who won't let me off! Don't blame me for being ruthless!】

Su Yi felt a bit guilty seeing Su Yu approaching. "Look, isn't the effect pretty good? A lot of the photos got swapped out, and I had no choice, so I just used these to fill in for now. Your uncle will be back soon, and the normal photos will play then."

Every batch of guests who came in laughed at the photos. Everyone in their circle knew the three of them were close, and Liang Yan was Zhu Xueheng's biological daughter. Putting up these photos, everyone would only assume it was a specially arranged touch.

Su Yi said exasperatedly, "Hurry up and go find my mom. She went with Auntie Tang Tang to change clothes, but she still hasn't come back!"

【Do you think I'm an idiot? I don't buy your nonsense!】

The words "change clothes" set off alarm bells in Su Yi's mind!

Who knew whether those people in the circle had read too many novels, but whenever they were up to something, they always liked to cause trouble during clothes-changing. Su Yi couldn't bother bickering with his daughter and hurried off to find them.

Tang Can was a bit worried. "Is Auntie okay?"

"She should be fine. My mom is there."

【My cards haven't increased, which means there's no danger.】

If there were danger, Wulongcha would draw a card.

Su Yi, who had just rushed out the door, cursed Su Yu inwardly for being a brat, but still headed toward the changing room—just at a less hurried pace. He couldn't feel at ease without seeing them himself.

"Softie, what are we doing?"

Tang Can watched Su Yu operating the computer skillfully, her face full of confusion.

"Looking for something."

Su Yu had played on the computer when the adults weren't paying attention, and had even cheated with Wulongcha's help. Unfortunately, her luck was bad every time, and the adults would catch her before she and Wulongcha had played for long. Though she got punished afterward, she still had fun!

Now, she was even more glad she had played on the computer in this world—otherwise, her unskilled operation would lead to a disaster, unworthy of her genius reputation!

"Hehe, found it!"

Su Yu, having been set up by Su Yi, certainly wasn't going to let him off. Su Yu played the video that the groomsmen, including Zhu Xueheng, had filmed.

Su Yu first played the main feature, then started playing the bonus footage. In the bonus, all the groomsmen looked handsome and outstanding, and the one who hammed it up the most was the temporary director Su Yi. At the time, to be a good director, Su Yi had worked overtime filming these videos for Zhu Xueheng!

But among the groomsman group were a few innocent little cuties who lacked the acting chops of the other old foxes, so NG takes were normal. Aside from driving the already somewhat unhinged temporary director Su Yi crazy, there were no other major problems.

The cameraman was also a genius—he directly recorded Su Yi's breakdown scenes too.

Su Yi, who had finally found his wife, was met with a head-on blow the moment he opened the door!

"Su! Yu!"

After gnashing his teeth and reading out the name, Su Yi turned to Ji Yan and played the victim. "Wife, look at her—she's bullying me!"

"What did you do?"

Ji Yan was curious about what Su Yi had done earlier.

"I just put up some cute photos—they were all taken because Big Brother asked for them!"

Su Yu, Tang Can, and Liang Yan, the three children, didn't really record their daily lives, but the three children's parents certainly cared, not wanting to miss any of their everyday moments. When they were together, a professional photographer would capture their playful scenes—not just photos, but videos too.

Ji Yan guessed that Su Yi must have put up embarrassing photos of their daughter!

Their daughter didn't like losing face!

"That's not bad either. Look, the photos are normal now."

Ji Yan prayed inwardly that her daughter had better not play it again—how awkward that would be!

Actually, it wasn't quite normal either. The photos playing were another batch from the database—the three children forming heart shapes in different locations. If they hadn't looked so fitting for today's occasion, it would have been a disaster.

The surrounding guests hadn't noticed anything wrong. Some were busy with tasks arranged beforehand with Zhu Xueheng, while others strolled about finding companions to chat with.

After the three children finished using the computer—mainly after Su Yu finished messing around with it—they wanted to leave. She was still little, and in terms of fighting power, she was no match for Su Yi.

Before they could leave, they heard the sound of someone opening the door.

"???"

Su Yu held Liang Yan and Tang Can by the hand and ducked into the bathroom, picking up a mop as a weapon, ready to fight at any moment.

While the three children stood ready, the person who entered spoke.

"The guy surnamed Su really isn't here!"

"My people watched him leave."

"Then how did these photos get set up?"

"Heh, on a loop. Those idiots really think I placed my bets on that bunch of losers."

……

Su Yu stood in the bathroom, listening to that voice, maintaining her vigilance the entire time!

She was too familiar with that voice—a disgust carved into her bones. She truly couldn't understand why this woman could openly appear at Liang Yan's family banquet?

How on earth was her hotel's security handled?!

Ji Xiaoling glanced at the computer and found it boring.

"Ji Yan is so stupid — with such a good status, she found such an unpresentable husband! Gave birth to a sick useless thing and still treats her like a treasure!"

After Ji Xiaoling found out about the things Su Yu had gone through, she celebrated for an entire day!

So what if her status was high? She lived worse than a dog in their circle!

"We should go. Any later and we'll get caught."

"Tch, what can they do to me?"

Though she said that, Ji Xiaoling's hands were not slow. She quickly copied the photos and videos, set them to play next, and swiftly followed the other person out of here.

"Truly, even heaven is helping me!"

Ji Xiaoling felt as though she had divine assistance. Everything was going far too smoothly! So smoothly that she was absolutely certain she was the one who should have occupied all of the Ji Family's resources, been lifted to a high position by the Xu family, and acted recklessly as the young lady of the Ji Family!

Back then she could make Ji Yan roll out of her own home; now she could sever all of Ji Yan's backing and make her go back to being a useless thing despised by everyone!

After the door closed, Su Yu came out holding a mop and directly canceled the playback. She really, really wanted to put Ji Xiaoling's ugly face on the photo wall so everyone could see her true colors.

But what little reason she had left told her she could not do this!

This was a wedding that Zhu Xueheng had prepared for a long time; it could not be ruined because of their family's grudge!

【Host, I'm back. Are you alright?】

【I'm fine. Ji Xiaoling came here and randomly placed photos. Check what other backup plans she still has.】

【Okay!】

Ji Xiaoling had of course been in disguise when she entered the hotel. Wulongcha followed her disguised appearance to search and quickly found the places she had been.

【The kitchen, this place, and the place where the drones were stored.】

The kitchen was easy to handle. Su Yu made a phone call to the manager on the spot.

"Go check all the food in the kitchen. Every type of food must be taste-tested by at least three people."

The manager found this request a bit baffling. The request itself was not unreasonable, so the manager followed what Little General Manager Su said and called over a few staff members in charge of guest rooms to taste-test.

The other waiters continued to busy themselves with their own work.

The banquet was about to start, and they were a bit short-handed.

Watching someone sway and then faint on the spot, the manager wanted to let out a groundhog-style shriek!

Oh calamity!

Why was his luck so bad that he always ran into disastrous affairs!

The shock this one banquet gave him surpassed all previous banquets combined!

The head chef was called out by the other chefs. Seeing this scene, his first reaction was disbelief!

"Manager, what are you people doing?"

"You're asking me? I want to ask you — the kitchen is so important, how could you let someone exploit a loophole!"

The kitchen!

The all-important kitchen!

If something went wrong, not only would their careers be finished, the entire hotel would go bankrupt. This was huge!

The manager could already imagine that during the year-end review, he would definitely be the most embarrassed one! What kind of manager needed someone higher up to remind him that there was a problem in his own kitchen?

The head chef stiffened his neck in disbelief. Everyone working in the kitchen were disciples of his own lineage — it was impossible for anything to go wrong! It must be those waiters playing tricks!

The head chef had always been flattered by others and could not tolerate being insulted. He directly grabbed the freshly baked little bread rolls next to him and stuffed them into his mouth.

After eating three, he stared at the manager seriously. "Look at me — I'm, fine, totally fine! You're slandering us!"

The head chef's eyes narrowed and he collapsed onto his apprentice. The manager, frightened, had the surviving room service staff carry the man on a stretcher to the ambulance.

The ambulance left, and all the chefs present stopped what they were doing.

The manager knew it was too late to check the surveillance footage. He made a ruthless decision and directly sought help from another colleague.

He had just composed his fawning words when Su Xi arrived.

"Has the food in the kitchen been checked?"

The manager said tearfully, "President, it's been checked. There are problems with everything. I was just about to have someone bring it over."

"Found out who it is yet?"

"Not yet! I dealt with the food issue first. Please feel free!"

"No need. Have the police take them all away directly. I remember they haven't gone far."

The police indeed had not gone far, but taking away so many chefs still felt outrageous to them. The police wanted to investigate on-site, but Su Xi insisted on sending the people to the station for a chat.

In the end, the manager contributed a few buses to transport everyone to the police station, thoughtfully helping the officers so they wouldn't have to turn back midway.

Su Xi saw that the manager was still competent and had him dispatch another group of people to carry flower petals and follow him.

"What are you doing?"

The manager had a bad feeling inside.
