Chapter 301: Supervision

【Not leaving a single cent, is that okay?】

Su Yu was somewhat expectant.

Wulongcha refused, 【Impossible, you always need pocket money for emergencies. What if your mom needs you to draw a card to help again? You can't spend it all on dealing with Ji Xiaoling.】

Wulongcha made sense. Su Yu agreed, 【Then leave three hundred thousand!】

Wulongcha wanted to change the amount, but Su Yu insisted, 【The only one who threatens Mom's life is her!】

She was a lunatic!

In the plot, Mom clearly wouldn't be acknowledged, yet Ji Xiaoling still made a move and caused Ji Yan to die!

Now she was in adversity and her mom was in good circumstances. Who knew how much Ji Xiaoling hated her mom. What if she went for mutual destruction? Mom was her life—nothing could happen to her!

Wulongcha ultimately couldn't sway Su Yu, 【Fine, one million it is. First tell me, how do you want to deal with Ji Xiaoling?】

【Make her as miserable as possible. No money, no power, nothing at all. Best if all the evil things she's done get exposed, so she's cursed by thousands and judged by the public!】

To destroy a person, the best method was to destroy what she cared about most. The most direct method was to make her die!

Dead, and everything would be settled!

【I thought you'd want her dead?】

Wulongcha felt this was the most convenient method. Just create a few more accidents—as long as Ji Xiaoling's hands were broken, her legs sawed off, or she was brain-dead, she would no longer be a threat to Ji Yan.

【I don't want us to bear her life! That would dirty our hands! We should live cleanly and happily in this world!】

Su Yu's "we" referred to herself and the real Su Yu.

【Alright, then use a Lucky Card and bless yourself with a good draw.】

Su Yu glanced at Ji Tianlin, who was giving a passionate speech about who-knows-what, and Ji Yan, who was seriously writing and drawing in a notebook, 【Wait until Grandpa finishes his rambling. Mom is still listening earnestly!】

As Su Yu's inner words fell, a knock came from outside, 【It's Uncle!】

"Uncle, are you here to find me?"

Su Yu pitter-pattered over and was picked up by Su Xi.

"Mm!"

Su Xi had been listening outside the door for a long time. He abandoned the idea of dragging Su Yu over for lessons.

"Uncle, what do you want me for?"

"To supervise Dad working."

"Yay!"

Su Xi: I knew you'd love doing this. Your brother still has a long way to go in learning how to coax his daughter!

"Mom, Grandpa, I'm going to help Uncle!"

【Hehe, I can legitimately find fault with Dad again!】

"Okay!"

Ji Yan smiled with narrowed eyes and waved at Su Yu!

【Mom is really happy too. Dad must have offended Mom yesterday!】

Yesterday, feeling that she looked irresistibly cute no matter what she wore, Su Yu picked out a yellow-green outfit to match Mom for mother-daughter matching clothes.

Su Yi mocked her for having no aesthetic sense, saying yellow-green wasn't a color combination a normal child would come up with.

Rationally, Su Yu knew that Su Yi said those things because Ji Yan's wardrobe had no yellow-green color combinations, and she was throwing a tantrum wanting to wear matching outfits, putting Mom in a difficult position.

But emotionally, she was still indignant! She didn't know Mom's wardrobe had no similar color combinations! The difference between her and Mom's wardrobe was huge—who would've thought there just wasn't any yellow-green clothing?

She was so angry!

She was so smart—couldn't Dad take the initiative to explain to her? He just belittled her. It was truly too much!

Mom must have felt the same way, so when she heard her going to torment Dad, she didn't stop her!

【Uncle is the best! He knew Dad was criticizing me and even helped me get revenge!】

The misunderstood Ji Yan silently accepted this. After watching Su Yu leave, her tears fell in a downpour.

"Dad, am I really so useless, needing my daughter to constantly think of ways to protect me?"

Su Yi loved money. He liked spending it. Before dating her, Su Yi was known as a spendthrift fairy. She'd heard several guys talk about Su Yi, saying they wanted to be friends with him. Just a little something slipping through Su Yi's fingers would be enough for them to live comfortably!

When Su Yi pursued her, she was very conflicted. She understood the gap between them. Because of her childhood experiences, she actually couldn't accept Su Yi's way of living. She wanted to save money—she was afraid of having no money to spend.

Fortunately, Su Yi was a very qualified boyfriend. He was genuinely good to her. After she told Su Yi her thoughts, he obediently reined in his spending and handed the money over to her.

He was sincere, experiencing daily life according to Ji Yan's standard of living, gradually understanding Ji Yan's thoughts, and even wanting to leave his own family to live an ordinary life with her.

If Su Yi hadn't been so truly wonderful back then, how could she have insisted on giving birth to the child and raising her alone under such conflicted circumstances?

But after giving birth, she wasn't a qualified mom! She didn't even know her daughter had been swapped by someone!

Su Yu also liked money, but it was all used to help her, this mom!

Different from Su Yi, but equally heavy feelings, gave Ji Yan the motivation to strive upward. Everyone has inertia—before, she had indeed only wanted to live under the Su Family's protection.

But the more she experienced, the more she truly integrated into this circle, seeing other people's lifestyles, watching her daughter worry about adult matters at such a young age for her sake—Ji Yan didn't want to keep hiding like this!

She wanted to develop her own network. She wanted to hold things that belonged to her. She wanted the confidence to never lose to others in the circle, at any time!

The career she envisioned was helping her daughter, making the talents she uncovered realize their maximum value.

She wasn't mindlessly establishing this studio. Currently, resources in the circle were severely skewed—no matter what resources, they were held by that top tier of people. For example, in film and television, it was the same few men and women playing leads and important supporting roles over and over. Not just adults—even children knew it was fake and couldn't feel immersed.

If she wanted to tear open a path in this circle, she had to have something the audience liked!

A large number of fresh faces and talented singers and actors were her best "stepping stones"!

"You're not wrong. She just doesn't want you to suffer! It's my fault—I didn't see people clearly back then!"

Too much time had passed!

In midnight dreams, Ji Tianlin was startled awake by a nightmare. He dreamed of what Su Yu described—a future without Ji Yan. In the dream, he had no daughter, no granddaughter, only endless company affairs and messes to handle. He was worn to death by these things! Xu Mingyue was also angered to death!

In the dream, he was furious, but could only watch helplessly as his family's assets became stepping stones for others. The Ji Family, without the couple, still lived just as well.

His existence seemed to be for no other purpose than to amass enough wealth for the Ji Family to spend through several lifetimes!

Every time Ji Tianlin woke from a dream and sat alone by the window to calm down, he always wondered: did his mother really not know that it was Ji Xiaoling who took Ji Yan away?

Why was it such a coincidence?

How did Ji Xiaoling know that he and his mother had gone out to chat?

But the person was already dead; no matter how much Ji Tianlin wanted to know, he could never get an answer.

Ji Yan just cried. Her daughter was too sensible—so sensible that she couldn't ignore the impact that being abandoned had on them.

Ji Tianlin wasn't in the mood to keep talking, either. He was unhappy, and naturally wanted someone else to have bad luck.

"Hey, when will the Ji Family's company go bankrupt?"

When Ji Tianlin left, the Ji Family's company was already not doing well. But the marriage between Ji Xiaoling and Qi Yinghao made the whole company look fine on the surface!

Ji Shouguo swallowed his pride to ask his old cronies for help, Ji Tianci poured money into it, and Qi Yinghao, as the son-in-law, persuaded the Qi family members to turn a blind eye to certain things—they actually managed to hold on. Though the company's financial reports were mediocre, the company was profitable.

At first, Ji Tianlin left that company to its own devices; he didn't care whether it made or lost money. But every time he had a nightmare, his feelings toward the Ji Family grew more complicated!

Later, Ji Tianlin simply followed his own heart and made his move against the Ji Family.

The person on the other end of the phone was surprised. "Boss, it'll probably take another three days!"

The assistant was a bit confused. Didn't the boss say before that there was no rush? He even said it was like a cat catching a mouse—watching the mouse struggle made eating it more interesting.

"Mm, as fast as possible!"

……

Su Xi carried the child into the study.

"Brother, why is it only Su Yu who came?"

"Daddy, I have good news—I'm here to help you!"

"Really?"

Su Yi didn't believe it! After being forced to train alongside Su Yu for a while, he finally awakened his own business talent, and now, working as Su Xi's assistant, he handled all kinds of tasks with impressive speed!

From time to time he would also go out to help Su Xi entertain clients, relieving Su Xi's pressure while bringing more allies to the family.

"It's true! I'm here to help keep an eye on you!"

Su Yi's face fell. "Why aren't you studying with your mommy? Don't you want to be Her Majesty the Queen, to be the most amazing one?"

Su Yi had called her princess before, and she hadn't liked it. She was the one who said she didn't want to be the heir, yet when he called her little princess she didn't like that either, and she had a whole pile of twisted reasoning.

Not wanting to be the heir didn't mean she didn't want to be a capable person. She had the ability to become the heir; later, if she wanted to earn money she could earn money, and if she didn't want to earn money she could live off the family's dividends!

Su Yi, who similarly wanted to collect dividends and travel the world with his wife, being all lovey-dovey, but was now forced to work, felt this was completely unreasonable!

He wanted to argue back, but his eldest brother, his wife, his father-in-law, and his mother-in-law all supported her wholeheartedly, making him look like he was being unreasonable!

"Mommy is studying, and I'm still little, so I can relax once in a while and help Uncle with some small things."

【Like supervising Daddy while he works! Daddy is such a grown-up, but he's still not self-disciplined—he's really worse than me, a little kid!】

Su Yi: Just who exactly is the one who's not self-disciplined?

Su Yi and Su Yu went back and forth in conversation, while Su Xi had long since returned to his seat to review documents. Once Su Yi asked around and learned that Ji Yan was fine, he threw himself wholeheartedly into work.

【Daddy's being sensible— he's really working seriously!】

Su Yu looked at the two people working seriously, put on a stern little chubby face, and thought: 【Wulongcha, let's begin—time to Draw card!】

【Got it!】

Wulongcha first used a Lucky Card on Su Yu, had her think about how she wanted to deal with Ji Xiaoling, and then drew one hundred pulls.

Su Yu did as Wulongcha said. She tapped the screen on her lap, a flash of light passed, and she hurriedly checked the results.

Thanks, darlings, for the votes~
