Chapter 332: Island

"I'm not going; I want to go accompany my great-grandma!"

【Great-grandma said she fell and got sick; really worrisome!】

"What's wrong with great-grandma?"

Tang Can is a bit anxious; she also likes great-grandma a lot. She gives her gifts every holiday!

"She's sick!"

【That's not right; didn't she use a recovery card before? Wulongcha, go check if someone is sabotaging her.】

【Okay, going right away.】

Wulongcha has a good sense of Su Yu's great-grandma. This great-grandma adds pocket money to her Host each year, far better than Su Yi, whom Su Yu rescued with great effort! "Then I'll go too!"

Liang Yan also likes great-grandma; she wants to go with Su Yu to accompany great-grandma! The three kids and the adults asked to visit the sick Yang Zhichun and keep her company, and the adults all agreed.

The elder is getting old; each meeting is one fewer.

Su Yu, Liang Yan, and Tang Can flew with the adults to the country where Yang Zhichun is, then took a boat to the island. Wulongcha couldn't find any information about the island, and Su Yu, worried about Yang Zhichun's health and safety, had no mind to look at the surrounding sea view.

She is always ready to Draw card to deal with villains and rescue great-grandma! After disembarking, Su Yu saw Yang Zhichun holding a sun umbrella at the pier to greet them, and rushed over immediately!

"Great-grandma!"

Tang Can and Liang Yan also followed.

"Great-grandma!"

"Great-grandma!"

The adults ordered the bodyguards to move the luggage to the island for settlement.

"Great-grandma, why are you living here? Does your body feel uncomfortable?"

Yang Zhichun smiled and said, "Not uncomfortable; great-grandma's health is fine!"

Su Yu didn't believe it, 【How can she be healthy yet fall and get sick? Great-grandma must be lying to me, not wanting me to worry!】

Yang Zhichun isn't deceiving Su Yu, but is deceiving outsiders.

She used a fake "feeling unwell" rumor to fish!

Except Su Xi, nobody else knew. Hiding on this island is also because it's a property bought by the Su Family, and the control room's authority is in her hands.

She sealed off the news here, and really caught "a fish".

"Great-grandma, let's go back to rest; it's too hot outside!"

Su Yu held Yang Zhichun's hand, and Yang Zhichun, gripping a cane, walked steadily forward.

"Alright, alright, go back to rest!"

Back at the island villa, Yang Zhichun explained to Su Yu and the others that she's fine; she spread the rumor only to expose the ulterior motives of schemers. After that, she hurried the group who had been rushing all the way upstairs to rest.

Su Yu was indeed tired; under her mother's care, she washed up and went to sleep.

She woke up to find it was already night.

"Wow, so many stars!"

The stars in the mountains are different from the island's stars! "Dad, the camera, I want to take a photo under the stars with great-grandma, Mom, Huo Huo and Can Can!"

"Here it comes!"

Su Yi pulled out the camera and took photos for everyone who wasn't in a hurry to eat and wanted to take pictures first.

After the photos were taken, the group finally sat down to eat seafood porridge.

"Uncle Butler, project our photos for us to see, okay?"

"Alright, Miss Xiao Yu!"

On the first night on the island, everyone ate the delicious seafood porridge while looking at the freshly taken photos, happily discussing angles, lighting, and which clothes would be more suitable.

Su Yi and Su Yu argued for five minutes about whether to keep taking photos.

After returning from the bathroom, Yang Zhichun gave the final approval; everyone went to take photos, letting Su Yu win this battle!

The once‑quiet island was now filled with children's laughter.

"Ah, the sea breeze feels so good!"

Su Yu woke up to the sound of wind chimes made from sea shells and conches. The different experience stirred Su Yu's heart.

She really wants to explore this island!

Su Yu finished washing up and went downstairs for breakfast.

"Great-grandma, where shall we go after getting up early?"

"Do you want to go out to sea to fish, or watch the ebb tide?"

In an hour, the professionally predicted low tide will occur; Su Yu and the others arrived at a perfect time, and their waking time is also perfect!

"Watch the low tide!"

Fishing can be done anytime, but each low tide may bring new surprises! "Great-grandma, shall we bring a bucket and collect the seafood left by the receding tide together?"

"Sure~"

"Long live great-grandma, I'll go call Huo Huo and Can Can!"

Su Yu grabbed a bun, knocked on the door to wake Liang Yan and Tang Can.

Su Yi yawned; he really didn't want to go out with the kids, making a racket, and couldn't get a good sleep.

If he doesn't go out with Su Yu, he basically has no vacation.

This is the pain point of working at one's own company!

However, thinking of being on call all year with hardly any days off, and that every outing is a business trip for the big brother, Su Yi kept his complaints inside.

He's fine now!

Ji Yan went downstairs, patted Su Yu's head, warm, temperature probably normal, "Why are you up so early, darling?"

"I want to see great-grandma!"

After Su Yu finished speaking, she leaned into Yang Zhichun's arms.

Yang Zhichun smiled warmly while holding Su Yu; with more people at home, it felt more lively.

Everyone finished their meals one after another, lifted their buckets, and walked toward the beach.

Su Yu, Tang Can, and Liang Yan each carried a small bucket, wore cute rain boots and a life jacket, and walked in the middle of the line.

Liang Yan puffed his face out, saying, "My bucket is so small, it can't hold much!"

Liang Yan wanted to fill it with lots of shells and conches! Tang Can didn't mind; she just wanted to join the fun.

Su Yu had a super simple solution: "Just pour what doesn't fit into dad's bucket, and let him carry it back!"

Liang Yan shouted with joy, "Right, dad's bucket is the biggest! But will he try to take it from me?"

"He definitely won't! If he does, I'll have my dad help you take it back!"

Su Yi:??? Zhu Xueheng: …

After the tide receded, the beach was littered with all kinds of seafood! Su Yu, Liang Yan, and Tang Can shouted and scattered in different directions to pick the seafood they liked.

Su Yu wanted to pick both food and shells and conches, and she was bustling around; before long, what she had gathered filled Su Yi's bucket.

Su Yi silently carried the bucket to the roadside, had the responsible servant haul it away and sort the food from the shells and conches! When he returned, Su Yu again lifted her small bucket to pour the collected items into it.

"If you don't raise your standards, the unsightly shells and conches won't suit your mother and great‑grandmother!"

Su Yu agreed, "Dad, it's fine; if they don't like them, you still have them, and if you don't like them you can give them to the teacher!"

Su Yu arranged those items very clearly!

Su Yi: Should I thank you for not ranking me last?

Zhu Xueheng was more relaxed than Su Yi; his beloved daughter had high standards, so Su Yi had carried four or five buckets while he only carried one.

"Yo, how rare— you didn't have such a good temper before!"

He had quarreled with Su Yu last night, hardly the image of a kind father; why is he now obediently carrying a bucket? Su Yi wouldn't tell Zhu Xueheng that the surprise he prepared for Ji Yan was discovered by Su Yu. To preserve his surprise, he had to endure it! He can't understand how Su Yu can be so like him— their thinking patterns match so closely that whenever she guesses, she's spot‑on!

Moreover, when he faced Su Yu, he felt a sense of being overpowered by his older brother! "Watch out, I'll tell your beloved daughter that you think she's picking too little!"

Zhu Xueheng is a textbook daughter‑slave; he's happy when his daughter is happy, and unhappy when she isn't.

In this world, wife and daughter are top priority; for them, company principles can be thrown away.

His bottom line for his daughter is non‑existent! "Tsk, a dog biting Lü Dongbin!"

Zhu Xueheng muttered as he walked away to accompany his beloved daughter.

Tang Can, staying beside Su Yu, boredly kicked the sand, "Soft— this sand is really soft!"

Su Yu agreed. She asked the Yang Zhichun beside her, "Great‑grandmother, is there a large beach here that's all fine sand?"

Su Yu wanted to use the sand to build a little castle, or lie on the sand and soak up the sun.

"There is; we'll go in the evening. The sand is damp now, not fun!"

"Yay!"

Su Yu and Tang Can cheered in unison! Liang Yan quickly came over to ask, and after learning what was going on, was also delighted.

The servant on morning duty thought Miss Xiao Yu looked skinny and cute, but in reality she was ferocious, as if she wanted to sift the entire beach with a strainer, hauling every edible or pretty thing home! "Ah, ah, pearls!"

Su Yu was so excited she kept jumping.

She's so happy!

It's pearls, beautiful pearls!

Su Yu dropped the bucket and her small shovel, carefully lifted two pearls, placed them in Yang Zhichun's and Ji Yan's hands, "This one is for great‑grandmother, this one is for mother!"

The golden one for great‑grandmother, the amber one for mother! Tang Can also picked up two pearls nearby, planning to take them home as gifts.

When Liang Yan came over, he only found a black one, "So pretty! I'll give it to mom!"

After a low tide, everyone returned fully loaded!

The three children found pearls on the beach and wanted to keep picking, but Yang Zhichun called them back.

"We're going to watch a marine documentary this afternoon and see the three‑dimensional creature models!"

The three children left reluctantly, and Zhu Xueheng offered a suggestion, "How about having someone come here to test? One spot produced five rare pearls; perhaps there's a good pearl‑producing area nearby?"

The Su Family could develop a pearl‑cultivation industry! "No, excess is as bad as deficiency."

The family originally bought this island for its pristine ecological environment.

If developed according to Zhu Xueheng's suggestion, the island will soon become like other islands, losing its natural atmosphere!

Lunch was ordinary chicken, duck, and fish, which Su Yu and the others didn't mind. They were all looking forward to the afternoon 3D models! In the afternoon, the adults attended to their own matters, and Yang Zhichun accompanied Su Yu and the two others to watch the documentary while playing with the models.

Yang Zhichun felt a bit regretful.

Why didn't she think of a better way to pull that old thing out! If she had gotten that old thing out earlier, she could have prepared various material underwater‑creature models before Su Yu and the others arrived, and also prepared plush pillows, keychains, and the like for them to take home.

Halfway through the documentary, the person responsible for cleaning the sand area came over to tell them the beach's temperature and humidity were just right, so they could go play.

When Yang Zhichun led the three children over, the adults had already swum a lap at the beach.

As soon as Su Yu reached the sand, she happily rushed in and began rolling continuously.

Tang Can and Liang Yan stared in amazement, slowly slipping their hands into the sand to get used to its texture.

Su Yi secretly filmed a video, preserving Su Yu's black history.

Ji Yan's forehead veins throbbed; she truly didn't get Su Yu's stress‑relief method. In the manor, she also liked playing with sand.

During school, she rarely dealt with sand; she thought Su Yu no longer liked to play, but now she's even more wild! "Sweetie, be careful!"

Su Yu rolled in the sand and instantly turned into a little sand doll; Ji Yan even found it a bit off‑putting!

Su Yu flashed a big smile at Ji Yan and began building sand castles.

Liang Yan and Tang Can hurried over to build together.

"Soft— why are you rolling in the sand?"

"Because it's soft and comfortable! One roll, and the whole body feels relaxed!"

【Really super stress relief!】

Su Yi, rarely reflecting on himself, wondered whether he was too useless, making Su Yu's pressure so great?

Tang Can was eager to try.

She has been under a lot of pressure lately! Clearly she is excellent, but the grandparents keep urging dad and mom to have a younger brother, saying the family needs an heir!

Can't she be the heir? Su Yu and Liang Yan both are!

Clearly the Ren family's grandparents felt regret that the aunt gave birth to a brother instead of a sister, yet the grandparents were very happy, saying the aunt finally secured her footing in the Ren family.

The Ren family's grandparents still love her, treating her like a beloved biological granddaughter, yet they think about having mom return home to have a younger brother; they are somewhat negligent when caring for her. When the maid noticed something was off with her, she called dad and mom, shouting and scolding them for being irresponsible.

Tang Can could guess that they wanted to use her to force mom to give up her career and return home to raise a child.

She felt somewhat suffocated by this fragmented environment! Out of trust in Su Yu, Tang Can also rolled around just like Su Yu.

The soft sand enveloped the body, a slight friction feeling like a massage. Sun‑warmed, loose fine sand glided gently over the skin, leaving only a pleasantly relaxed sensation.

"Really!"

Tang Can was very happy! Like Su Yu before, she rolled around in the sand, not thinking about family matters, not thinking about her own future, earnestly perceiving the flow of fine sand, and then grew increasingly drowsy, her eyelids becoming heavier.

Liang Yan, while Tang Can was rolling, also steeled herself and rolled a circle in the sand.

Zhu Xueheng's eyes widened, and he hurriedly ran over, "Sweetie, are you feeling unwell?"

"No, just a bit dirty, but still pretty fun!"

Zhu Xueheng let out a sigh.

Su Yi mocked him, "Only now worrying—maybe it's a bit late?"

Their family, well aware that Su Yu is restless, had long ago screened out a patch of fine sand for the three of them to play on.

If no one had sifted and sun‑dried, how could the sandfield contain only warm, soft, dry yet non‑abrasive fine sand? The bodyguard nearby was the first to notice Tang Can's breathing was steady. After consulting Yang Zhichun, who was also sitting in the sand sunbathing, she carefully moved Tang Can into the tent filled with soft fine sand.

Su Yu lay in the sand, watching the surrounding scenery, and thought of her poor uncle.

【Wulongcha, what is uncle doing?】

Thanks to the darlings for the votes—four thousand words—last chapter must have hit some term; I received a short notice from the site saying it was published after review and revision, how strange.

Good night, darlings~
