Chapter 370: Sold

"Don't misunderstand your dad; he wouldn't ask that. If anything happens later, Shi Xu will blame you."

The man's inherent flaw is best understood by Mingmeng's father. When feelings are good, one sacrifices everything for love. Once they fall out, the lover causes him to lose everything.

"Your grandfather resented your grandmother all his life, and your grandmother died in depression. The things your grandfather willingly gave away, after he changed his mind, his words turned into accusations that your grandmother had schemed; she was a vicious woman! If one day Shi Xu regrets not inheriting the Shi Family, and you are hated by him, the one who gets hurt will still be you!"

Mingmeng's mother once felt fortunate that her husband was a "rebel", not inheriting his father's temperament, despising his father's ways, standing on the mother's side, feeling sorry for her plight, and being frank with her; regardless of dark or bright thoughts, he would speak them plainly.

Mingmeng's mother really liked her husband's approach; it gave her a strong sense of security!

Now she begins to worry about her daughter. Son‑in‑law Shi Xu lacks her husband's self‑awareness; even feeling for his wife or understanding the hardships of raising children requires Mingmeng to order him to act before he can react.

If, in the future, the couple quarrels over this, with Shi Xu having enjoyed special treatment, how could a daughter whose whole heart is attached to Shi Xu possibly endure it?!

Guoguo and Jiu Jiu exchanged a glance and obediently recorded what Grandma said.

"This time we have to thank Su Yu; you and Ji Yan should get along well. Also, this matter must never be spread outward; she needs to avoid everyone, and you must not tell anyone besides us, understand? It's very important; you must not harm her!"

Mingmeng's mother also holds a respectable position and knows Su Yu's influence within the group. Su Yu has, in effect, saved her daughter's family; repaying Su Yu's favor, she naturally needs to press her own daughter and granddaughter, exaggerating the seriousness of the matter as much as possible.

……

Considering the matter serious, Ji Yan flew back to the Su Family with Yang Zhichun, holding Su Yu, "You really are…", and upon seeing Luyingying, Ji Yan changed tone, "How did it come to this?"

Ji Yan led Su Yu upstairs, "Quickly, Mom will supervise you bathing and sleeping!"

"Alright!"

Su Yu took a bath and told Ji Yan the whole story verbatim; she didn't go into detail about the source, she was vague about the past, and fortunately Ji Yan didn't press further.

"This matter needs to be told to your uncle."

Heaven knows how frantic Ji Yan was when she received the message Su Yu sent her via a smartwatch, calling her; she really thought something had happened! Fortunately it was the Shi Family that was in trouble, and it was a trouble that hadn't actually occurred; everything could still be fixed, as long as Shi Xu and Mingmeng were ruthless enough!

"Sure!"

"I'll have your father tell you to rest properly; your complexion looks too pale!"

Ji Yan was very worried about Su Yu; this child is clearly so well‑behaved, why isn't she listening? She could take her steps a bit slower!

"Mm‑mm!"

Su Yu slept peacefully. After confirming she was sound asleep, Ji Yan went to find Su Yi, told him about the Shi Family matter, and asked him to inform Su Xi.

"Big brother, those two people at home are such a hassle; they could have let Su Yu tell you directly, yet we have to relay messages back and forth."

"Caution first!"

Su Xi hasn't contacted Shi Xu. This matter requires him to decide on his own. For such a big Shi Family, Shi Xu might not be willing to give up.

The next day, Su Xi received news that Shi Xu sold the portion of the Shi Family he inherited at a low price, and sold it to a state‑owned enterprise.

Now the part of the Shi Company he inherited only retains basic operations; all other projects have halted, and the authorities will send people to audit and settle accounts.

Su Yu, sitting in the same car, also learned of this news.

"That move is ruthless enough; the old master of the Shi Family will probably regret it!"

Shi Xu selling like that spells the end of the Shi Family! Su Yu guesses the Shi Family members will curse him to death, cursing him daily!

When the Shi Family members got the news, the people were already at the company; superiors had already sent someone to take over, confiscated everyone's phones, temporarily forbidding contact with outsiders and prohibiting leaving at will.

The Shi Family premises were empty, the big boss was at the company, leaving only a group of average‑ability people! Shi Xu and Mingmeng, with a group of plain‑clothed staff in regular attire, were moving things inside the Shi Family estate.

Facing the inheritance list, Mingmeng and Shi Xu moved everything away, regardless of whose house it was.

If the inheritance list says something belongs to him, it belongs to him! It wasn't in the warehouse but was found in another Shi Family member's living room; it could only be a seizure or stolen goods!

The people blocking them were all weak women; they can't fight, but they can make a racket!

"Silence their mouths!"

Shi Xu waved his hand, his head throbbed, feeling like exploding! How many things were actually stolen from him?! Fortunately he had planned to donate those items to a museum; otherwise, with so many good things, those guys definitely wouldn't let go!

Just these women coming to his house or causing trouble outside, demanding repayment, is enough to annoy him! He gathers the items listed on the inheritance one by one, sells what can be sold, and donates the rest to the museum.

Shi Xu quickly amassed a huge sum of money; the sight of it made his eyes burn! If he kept it, wherever it was, kidnappers would surely target his family, right?

He turned and used the money to buy shares of the Su Family and government bonds, leaving some cash deposited in a bank.

Rushing and lingering, with the superiors' help, he finished this side's affairs in a day and then slipped back to the Ming Family.

They also applied for Guoguo and Jiu Jiu to study at home; as long as they take the final exam at school and achieve the required scores, they can continue to advance in education.

Shi Xu's whole family hid in the Ming Family, only entering and exiting the courtyard; other Shi Family members trying to cause trouble couldn't find anyone! They saw the Su Clan's shareholder changes online, causing a stir, but netizens focused not on Shi Xu's alleged money‑grabbing or selling ancestral assets, but on how powerful Su Family shares are. "Shi Xu didn't pick any family, he chose the Su Family—does he have insider info? Should these retail investors buy some?" As the Shi Family people watched the uproar grow, Su Family's stock rose, Shi Xu's shares became more valuable, they were furious! They wanted to do something to the Su Family as "revenge", to pressure them, but Wulongcha and the Su Clan's protective network aren't meek; the troublemakers were quickly arrested.

"These people are so stupid, being toyed with all around, Uncle, why haven't you let Meng Xianle act yet?"

"It's already in motion; just one more opportunity and it can blow up!"

The chaotic Shi Family members, persuaded by a reporter, left the media company early and, exhausted, returned to the Shi Family's large manor. It hasn't been seized yet, so they can stay there for a while.

The Shi Family members went together to the leader to discuss the next steps, only to discover that their family was packing up!

"What are you doing?"

"Why did you return so quickly?"

Without an answer, they were counter‑questioned; the exhausted Shi Family members recalled the reporter's suggestion to unite with the original most powerful heir of the Shi Family, to challenge the will's legitimacy and freeze Shi Xu's assets, and began to doubt the person before them.

"Why don't you let us apply to freeze Shi Xu's assets? We can contest and freeze his property!"

"We can't get the money, but we can disgust people; such a good plan, why didn't you mention it earlier?"

"You wouldn't have missed such an effective method, would you?"

"Why is your family leaving, moving out without telling us?"

"Where did that house come from, not bringing the brothers any profit?"

……

A group of people stared at the man whose face looked in his thirties but was actually in his fifties, each voice filled with distrust toward him.

Earlier he said that when things got out of hand, Shi Xu would definitely give them a sum of money to appease and silence them. They could live well off that money.

Now? They haven't received a single cent, and they've even had to pay extra!

The crowd silently stared at those packing things. Outside, the moving company's truck had already arrived.

"Boss, what are we moving?"

"Whoa, why are there so many people?"

The two young guys were scared half to death by the scene. They are legitimate businessmen, platform‑backed, "What does this mean? Whose number ends with 8999?"

The elegant, noble lady gestured, and the two young men immediately went over to move the packed items.

A group of people stopped the two young men. They stared blankly at the middle‑aged, shabby men ahead, then turned to look at the employer.

"Sister‑in‑law, moving without a banquet doesn't seem appropriate, does it?"

"Yeah, why didn't you tell us where to move?"

"With so many things, just ask a few younger brothers at home to move them—why waste money?"

……

A crowd kept chatting back and forth, and the two young men, knowing the situation, dropped the items, "We're not taking this job, okay!"

The two ran away, but thinking about the fuel and labor costs they'd spent, plus having to cover the breach fee themselves, their anger grew the longer they thought about it; even stepping back felt unlucky, and the first order of the morning started off badly.

So they sold the story to various marketing accounts, earning a 300‑yuan tip‑off fee. They described the scene vividly and told the reporter that no one was blocking the way, so a car could drive straight in! Ten minutes later, the quarrelling Shi family members were blinded by flashing cameras' "click‑click."

#Shi Family internal martial conflict# trended on Hot Search.

Su Yu saw the Hot Search and suddenly wondered, "Wulongcha, where is Shi Yu? Where is the male lead's father?"

"【Illegal operation got taken to the bureau.】"

"【666! How did he win back then against others?】"

"【I don't know!】"

It's not in the plot, and Wulongcha doesn't know either.

"【If you don't know, then just don't know; anyway this doesn't really concern us.】"

Shi Yu is no longer their family's opponent, and Su Yu isn't very concerned.

She now has an extra small task: regularly go keep Guoguo and Jiu Jiu company.

Of course, she also occasionally brings Liang Yan and Tang Can along.

Tang Can really likes the lively Guoguo and Jiu Jiu. The two are very interested in her work and often pitch in, saving her a lot of effort.

Because they're keen on her skincare product analysis, the Ming family prepared a lab for the two sisters; Tang Can can use it when she goes over. She didn't refuse their kindness, and occasionally goes there to use the equipment, also teaching Guoguo and Jiu Jiu some basics.

Liang Yan feels a bit angry and aggrieved about this.

"I clearly said last time that I'd give Can Can a lab, but she refused!"

"Isn't it all just labs? Liang Yan can also have the equipment delivered to Tang Can's house. Their procurement guarantees they buy the industry's best instruments. She doesn't want Can Can's money, so why won't Can Can accept?"

"She doesn't like it."

"Why? We're good friends!"

How could something given by a good friend be disliked?

"Because we're good friends, we must respect her personality; she likes creating value herself. Maybe you could co‑invest in a company with her, split the profits, then she'd accept."

Thinking of how Tang Can's parents have tormented her over the years, Su Yu added, "Give my share of the money in your name; don't say I'm involved. I really don't have time to run a company."

As she spoke, Su Yu showed Liang Yan a batch of newly arrived documents, a full 1 GB, which made Liang Yan feel uneasy.

"Little sister Xiao Yu, could you not work so hard?"

At Liang Yan's home, his father scolded Su Xi yesterday for not being a proper person, saying he should retire early and mercilessly dump the business onto little sister Xiao Yu.

Liang Yan suspects his father wants to retire and play, so he keeps urging her to be ambitious! "You have to hustle!"

Su Yu learned the nation's development goals from Wulongcha; she wants to ride this tailwind, make a huge profit, collect all the cards at once, settle matters here, and return to her own world to live peacefully.

Liang Yan tilted his head, his puzzled expression plainly written on his face.

Su Yu said calmly, "In our family I'm the only young, strong one; letting a professional manager take over, my great‑grandmother wouldn't agree."

"My parents agreed!"

Liang Yan now feels especially carefree; if he wants to go to the company he can, if he wants to play he can go out and play! "Congratulations!"

Su Yu sincerely congratulated.

"Hehe!"

Liang Yan laughed heartily! ……

"What the above means is that this thing's span is too large; it may not be suitable for launch in the short term."

Luyingying watched Su Yu's expression attentively, ready to adjust her wording at any moment.

"But this thing's span isn't big; you just lack some key elements."

Following Su Yu's topic, Luyingying asked, "How do you know which key elements are missing?"

"Do you know about computation? It's that your answers overlap with others in part, with correct and wrong parts interwoven, and I scrapped another base's computer, calculated some things. With ideas, it took a long time to produce."

All of the above is Su Yu's nonsense. It's just an excuse she and Wulongcha had long arranged.

Virtual technology has always been in demand; a virtual world could be immortal, so how could no one study it?

Those billionaires who seek eternal life and endless wealth also research it. Wulongcha merely sent Su Yu to wander those bases, scrap some computers, and extract some of the mature data there to cover her.

Luyingying had a bad feeling, "What base?"

She frantically searched her mind: have computers at that base been scrapped these years? That shouldn't be! Su Yu wouldn't do such reckless things.

"A longevity base built by a rich person; you've always ignored us outsiders, right? Anyway it won't cause deaths."

Computer scrapping, on the surface, is an equipment issue, unrelated to people.
