Chapter 292: Reminder

~9 min read 1,719 words

Ye Shu truly admires people who can do business. Su Xi is one, and Jing Ming's cousin Andrés Segovia is another. Clearly, this trait of attracting all sorts of women, which should be a flaw, becomes an advantage in Andrés Segovia's hands.

Since Andrés Segovia accidentally heard about this trait from Jing Ming, he finds it quite remarkable. He invites Ye Shu to join him for a gathering among the upper class in Australia.

Considering that Andrés Segovia's family is the region's largest medical supplier with top‑tier medical resources, Ye Shu reports to Xie Xin Yi and then attends the gathering.

Andrés Segovia specifically invites Ye Shu to a small get‑together of their circle, held at a horse ranch. Everyone rides horses, practices archery, and casually divides next quarter's projects.

At the banquet, Ye Shu successfully draws the attention of all the trashy women.

Andrés Segovia knows the inner circle well and is amazed by Ye Shu's ability.

He pays Ye Shu a hefty sum and agrees that if Ye Shu ever needs it, his family's team can provide top‑level medical services, on the condition that Ye Shu follows him and wanders around various banquets.

Andrés Segovia, using Ye Shu as a human "trash detector," reaped considerable profit.

Especially after Andrés Segovia discovered that Ye Shu also attracts trashy men, his business expanded further. To give Ye Shu an out, his two different clubs are swamped, yet the results are impressive!

When Ye Shu is about to leave with Xie Xin Yi, Andrés Segovia is extremely reluctant, calls Jing Ming to ask for Ye Shu's parents' phone number. He wants to invite the Ye family to develop in Australia and promises to do his utmost to help the Ye family establish a foothold there. As the heir of this generation, Andrés Segovia pledges that as long as he controls the family, his clan will always back Ye Shu and the Ye family.

Jing Ming treats the matter as a joke and tells a few close brothers in the circle.

Su Yi also felt admiration when he heard it!

"Let him send someone over; Shui Shouhong loves to use people, so he probably won't mind falling into the same trap, right?"

A foreign tourist beauty won't raise Shui Shouhong's guard much. That kid learned many tricks abroad and now applies them to girls back home.

Su Yi emphasizes, "It should be of a higher level. They're well‑versed in those tricks from abroad!"

Ye Shu rolls their eyes, "Don't involve me in that; I still have to nurse the baby later!"

Ye Shu declines, not wanting to get involved in this for now.

"Fine then!"

Su Yi doesn't press the issue. When Ye Shu returns, they'll know their family was innocently implicated. They don't want to get involved, but the person is already in the game.

Ye Shu helps Xie Xin Yi up, "Honey, we should be going."

"Alright!"

Ye Shu and Xie Xin Yi walk ahead, introducing the scenery here to Su Yu's family.

They stroll around the estate's private amusement area, pausing here and there until lunch, then run into acquaintances again.

【…Wulongcha, are we about to stage a white‑rich‑beauty versus little‑flower showdown now?】

In terms of luck, Su Yu admires her and Ye Shu's combined buff.

【Do you want to check? Ye Shu and I might really be clashing; every time we get together, the situation isn't great.】

Wulongcha thinks it probably isn't serious, right?

【Uh, Guan Xianxian seems to have no stance now regarding Qin Yuanjun and Yang Ruoning's matter.】

That kid is clearly Shi Yu's.

Yet Ye Shu, not knowing what's wrong, still walks over to that seemingly battlefield‑like spot.

"Andrés, are you looking for me?"

Su Yi watches the boy whose face beams with sunshine, surprised inside. Just by his looks, no one would guess that this big boy with a doll‑like face is a corporate heir and even has a mercenary background.

The boy smiles and nods, "Yes, Ye, you know, without your gathering, it's worthless!"

Andrés Segovia truly misses the days when Ye Shu was around. No matter how well those people disguise themselves, if they have a special thought toward Ye Shu, he can deem them not good and suspect something shady behind them. Relying on this intuition, he uncovered a lot of information, gathered many subordinates, and eliminated several rivals.

That kind of thrill is addictive!

They completely fail to understand why Ye's friends and family misinterpret Ye; they're a genius! Why don't they cherish them?

Andrés Segovia hopes he can change Ye's mind and have him return to Australia with him!

Guan Xianxian's gaze drifts between Ye Shu and Andrés Segovia; are they really in such a relationship? She can tell Brother Shi Yu when she goes back!

Guan Xianxian opens her phone, ready to record secretly, but sees a familiar dead‑fatty. She looks up, with a slightly pitiful and regretful gaze at Andrés Segovia, "Thank you for your help, I respect your preferences, but he already has a wife!"

Andrés Segovia frowns, straining to grasp the meaning in Guan Xianxian's words.

"Ye, perhaps you could explain what this beautiful lady means? I'm a bit confused!"

Ye Shu understood and their face darkened!

"Sorry, I have to be with my wife, I must take my leave; perhaps you can ask her yourself!"

Ye Shu looks pitifully at Xie Xin Yi; Xie Xin Yi smiles, pats Ye Shu's head, and Ye Shu instantly smiles!

Andrés Segovia tries for a minute, sees Guan Xianxian staring blankly at Ye Shu and Xie Xin Yi's interaction, and decides to give up.

"Sorry, beautiful lady, perhaps there's a generation gap between us? Or would you prefer to speak English with me?"

Guan Xianxian's face reddens, Yang Ruoning bursts out laughing, "How could she possibly know English? She's just a—"

Remembering Yang Ruoning's insult, Guan Xianxian gives a hard shove!

Andrés Segovia quickly catches her.

"Oh no, God, ladies, please calm down a bit!"

Guan Xianxian calms down and runs away!

Yang Ruoning, caught by Andrés Segovia, is furious and immediately calls to request surveillance footage. From her ranting, Andrés Segovia extracts the key points and then leaves.

"Ye, wait for me!"

Andrés Segovia follows the direction Ye Shu and the others left, chasing after them.

Ye Shu looks at the unflushed, unbreathing Andrés Segovia and asks, "What's your target?"

"Ye, why didn't you warn me that the lady has more than one boyfriend!"

Andrés Segovia likes to invite beautiful women to work for him. But he never bothers men or women who have a steady partner; of course, Ye Shu is an exception.

"I don't interfere with friends' relationships."

"No, you've misunderstood; my castle needs more staff, and her looks…"

In Andrés Segovia's eyes, that lady just now was very special. He believes such a charming lady can create plenty of value for him, but unfortunately she already has a partner and a child.

Ye Shu and Andres Segovia were chatting back and forth, while Su Yu was chattering with Wulongcha.

【Wulongcha, the plot really is unreliable. This person's image should be the third or fourth male lead, Andres Segovia, right?】

Brilliant golden hair, doll‑like face, a mess of black leather pants, looking very non‑mainstream. In the story, when Guan Xianxian met him, she gave him a home‑like warmth, so Andres Segovia became Guan Xianxian's backing.

Su Yu was deeply impressed by him.

【In the story, this person has an angelic face, a devil's heart, and cruel methods! I have to keep an eye on my dad, don't let his brother‑radar activate and become friends with Andres Segovia. This guy is a conscience‑less profit machine. My dad isn't very smart!】

Su Yu deliberately fell behind, and the three members of the Su Family quickly separated from Ye Shu and the others.

"Mom, I'm hungry. Shall we go home to eat?"

"Okay!"

Su Yu, for the first time, held Ji Yan's hand with one hand and Su Yi's with the other.

Su Yi thought, if Su Yu weren't silently berating his intelligence, he would be very happy now!

The three of them returned home, and only then did Su Yu have time to size up the courtyard they lived in.

"Dad, is this a family property or a rented house?"

"Of course it's property. In the past, Su, your grandfather liked to vacation here."

Su Yi originally wanted to call him by name, but he thought Su Yu might not know who he was, so he used a title instead.

"Then will there be anything left by grandpa here?"

Su Yu was curious; her grandpa was also a love‑brain, right? Her dad must have inherited grandpa's love‑brain.

【Wulongcha, watch out for me; my dad is a love‑brain, and I don't want to become a love‑brain!】

Su Yi: "What's wrong with a love‑brain, eating your portion of rice?"

"I don't know; if you want to see it, go find it yourself."

Su Yi was also in his first year here. When he was young, his dad thought they disturbed his two‑person world. After growing up, the father and son had long become mortal enemies, finding each other unpleasant, and he would never come here again.

"Alright!"

Su Yu, having gotten permission, began to run around the courtyard.

Her first choice was the study!

【Wulongcha, look, so many books!】

Su Yu flipped through the books one by one. Since dinner was still far off, she shook each book, seeing if any money would fall out.

【Your grandpa's habit is weird—why slip money into books and not take it out!】

Wulongcha estimated that just from the money Su Yu found, there was already ten thousand yuan. Those funds could also earn interest in a bank!

【Maybe because there's a lot of money?】

Su Yu had looked at the household ledger; at that time her grandpa's family indeed had plenty of money. The cash tucked in books was only of interest to Su Yu. Each time she found some, Su Yi and the others let her keep it. So she became even more eager to search every place grandpa frequented for money!

Su Yu combed through the entire bookshelf and only uncovered three hundred‑yuan notes.

Su Yu sighed, "This money is a bit scarce!"

Thank you, darlings, for your votes~
