Chapter 300: Essential Oil

"Okay!"

Tang Can was very excited.

Based on Tang Can's condition and Wulongcha's recommendation, Su Yu chose jasmine flowers.

"Do you like this scent?"

Su Yu held a freshly picked jasmine flower right up to Tang Can's nose.

Tang Can sniffed carefully, "Not bad!"

"Then let's use this one!"

Su Yu waved at the uncle butler standing on the other side. The butler approached, "Miss Xiao Yu!"

"Uncle Butler, we want jasmine essential oil!"

"Understood, Miss Xiao Yu. Could you and Miss Tang return to the villa first?"

"Sure!"

Su Yu led Tang Can back to the villa. The two children had barely returned when the butler delivered the jasmine essential oil.

"Miss Xiao Yu, Miss Tang, this is jasmine essential oil made yesterday. If you want a freshly made batch, you'll have to wait until tomorrow."

Xu Mingyue came home from work and saw Tang Can sniffing the jasmine essential oil, "What's wrong?"

"Grandma, I missed you so much!"

Su Yu jumped off the sofa and threw herself into Xu Mingyue's arms, acting cute and clingy.

Xu Mingyue carried Su Yu back to the sofa, "Be good. Grandma is hot and sweaty, be careful or you'll get scars!"

"Okay!"

By the time Xu Mingyue went upstairs, showered, changed, and came back down, Su Yu and Tang Can were already obediently eating.

After eating with them, Xu Mingyue shared with the two children how to use jasmine essential oil. The two children experienced applying facial masks and aromatherapy together with Xu Mingyue before Tang Tang came out to take Tang Can home.

After seeing Tang Can off, Su Yu returned to her room to examine the various essential oils, and Xu Mingyue stepped forward to introduce them to her.

Ji Yan came in looking for Xu Mingyue, "Mom, did you read the materials I sent you?"

"I read them. I forwarded them—let them handle it themselves."

Su Yu tilted her head, 【What materials?】

Wulongcha knew, 【The materials about the girl who pushed Tang Can.】

【Hmm, is she someone important?】

【The illegitimate daughter of Xu Mo Yan's eldest sister-in-law's younger brother.】

【Oh!】

It had little to do with her, so Su Yu didn't care. What she cared about was these essential oils.

【With so many essential oils at home, does our family's daily chemical industry make a lot of money?】

【That's right!】

Wulongcha had also considered letting Su Yu go into the daily chemical industry, 【That industry is not easy to do. The odds of making money are much smaller than the odds of losing money.】

Well-known daily chemical brands were hugely profitable, but unknown ones were either going bankrupt or on their way to bankruptcy. Most crucially, the daily chemical industry burned through money in the early stages!

With Su Yu's savings, she couldn't afford to burn that kind of money!

【Fine then!】

While listening to Su Yu's inner thoughts, Ji Yan asked about Xu Mingyue and Ji Tianlin's investments.

"Mom, you and Dad gave me quite a lot of money. I'd like to convert it into shares for you."

Xu Mingyue waved her hand, "No need. That was our gift to you. We're very happy you have that kind of filial devotion, but your project is yours to control entirely, so others don't set their sights on it."

Xu Mingyue had already considered this when she gave the money. She was different from Ji Tianlin. Those people in the Ji Family were like cockroaches that couldn't be killed and sticky candy that couldn't be shaken off. If they pulled some small stunts that affected Ji Tianlin's assets, wouldn't that indirectly affect Ji Yan's studio?

"Mom and Dad have already made a will. Mom and Dad's assets will be inherited by you. If you waive your inheritance rights, then Xiao Yu will inherit. If Xiao Yu also waives, it will be donated to the state."

"Mom, you're still young!"

"Even the young need to guard against accidents! Ji Xiaoling has lost her backer and is now about to lose her marriage. Who knows what schemes your grandfather is cooking up. If she cries with that face of hers, your grandfather will go through hell and high water for her!"

After so many years, Xu Mingyue had arrived at certain truths: the two elders of the Ji Family were biased by nature—one obviously so, the other pretending to be fair.

The Ji Family's eldest was both stupid and vicious, constantly resenting what had happened to him back then, and at every moment scheming to get what his two younger brothers had.

The Ji Family's second child was a shrewd one. He himself had quite a lot in his hands, keeping a low profile and basically dumping all the pressure onto Ji Tianlin, the fool, so that the eldest only ever focused on fleecing Ji Tianlin!

Without Ji Tianlin as their password-free ATM, the eldest and second's lives were beginning to change. The two families could still hold on for now, but when they could no longer hold on, they would make their move.

Xu Mingyue certainly didn't think those two were harmless. With the precedent of a daughter being kidnapped, Xu Mingyue always worried that one day she'd be killed by those two brothers.

She had taken Ji Tianlin to draw up a will. Designating Ji Yan to inherit if she waived, and then Su Yu, was also because she feared those people might lose their minds and harm Ji Yan and Su Yu—and even more that Su Yi might change his heart, Ji Yan might not hold up and suffer an accident, leaving poor little Su Yu all alone.

Xu Mingyue looked at her somewhat love-struck daughter and felt inexplicably worried, "Mom is really worried about your safety!"

Whether it was Ji Xiaoling, that vicious woman, or the future, Xu Mingyue worried about it all!

Su Yu also nodded, 【Yeah, Mom isn't safe right now. Wulongcha, have you calculated the funds Grandma and Grandpa invested? How much is left? I want to draw cards to deal with Ji Xiaoling.】

【Your mom's studio plan hasn't come out yet, so it's unclear for now.】

If Ji Yan's studio were simpler, it would just be a few offices. There were still quite a few empty storefronts in the residential complex, so it wouldn't cost much money.

But if it were built to the scale of a future entertainment company, the places she'd need to spend money on would be endless!

The trainees' living quarters didn't need worrying about, but practice spaces were very important. Those practicing music needed various instruments and recording studios, those practicing dance needed individual practice rooms, those practicing acting needed all kinds of costumes, those doing voice work needed professional equipment... and so on.

【How much longer? I'm worried about missing the right moment!】

Su Yu was genuinely worried! If during this period Ji Xiaoling and Qi Yinghao settled things between them, how would she borrow a knife to kill someone! When it came to dealing with people, being the one pulling the strings behind the scenes was far more satisfying!

【Don't worry. Ji Xiaoling is still arranging personnel. I check every day. When she makes her move, if your mom's contingency plan still isn't ready, we'll spend 100,000 from savings to draw cards to deal with her. Delaying time is also simple—you still have unused swap cards. One minute of swap time may be short, but it's enough to make Ji Xiaoling and Qi Yinghao hesitate to act rashly!】

With a brief swap of consciousness between the two, they most likely wouldn't go all out against each other.

Strangers who swap might even fall in love with each other, but for sworn enemies like Qi Yinghao and Ji Xiaoling who already had a grudge, swapping would only make each of them detest the other person even more.

【Understood!】

Su Yu waited, listening to Wulongcha's reports every day, looking forward to the day she could draw cards.

Su Yu was full of anticipation, and Ji Yan also put together a studio proposal at the fastest possible speed.

As soon as Wulongcha discovered the proposal, it took the initiative to find Su Yu: 【Host, your mom has already calculated the expenses. We currently still have 1.3 million in savings. How much do you plan to keep?】

I've heard about scars growing from sweat. They say that when someone with sweat gets intimate, sweat scars will grow.

Good night, darlings~
