Chapter 384: Entering the Dream

Su Yu thought for five seconds, decided to ignore this, "Ask your father, then you'll know, right?"

Liang Yan nodded, "Indeed!"

"Ask next time!"

"Can Can, has anyone from your family looked for you?"

Liang Yan looked at Tang Can.

Tang Can nodded then shook her head, "Grandfather came looking, stepmother also came, I told my father about the former, I ignored the latter."

Tang Can's grandfather contacted her, ostensibly to maintain family ties, but actually to probe her current situation.

Tang Can didn't want to talk with him. If the family ran out of money, Tang Can would still be willing to contribute some meal money, but nothing beyond that.

As for the stepmother, she must have had a donkey kick to the brain to still cling to her. She keeps saying the younger brothers are the roots of the Tang family! Tang Can could change her surname at any time; why fear that stepmother? Liang Yan thought, Can Can's family is truly heartless!

Liang Yan only dared to think that in her heart, not say it aloud.

"Little Yu sister, have you seen any gossip lately? Share it~"

Su Yu's status is different, so the things she encounters are different.

Su Yu's hand that was picking meatballs paused, "Hmm, pick one you know?"

Liang Yan and Tang Can both nodded; they thought unknown ones were meaningless too!

"Do you still remember Jing Ming?"

Tang Can and Liang Yan nodded.

He is handsome, and still a single handsome man.

"He's about to inherit the Jing family's business."

"!!!"

Liang Yan's eyes widened; she doesn't run a company, but she has to update the circle's news every so often and find time to attend some banquets.

Not long ago, Jing Ming was the little young master of the Jing family who had been sent away; how is he now about to become the heir?

Tang Can wasn't particularly concerned, just curiously tilted her head, "Can the rest of the Jing family agree?"

Su Yu shook her head, "What if they disagree? The remaining assets of their family are all tainted."

Some people have private contacts abroad; if the Jing family weren't high-status and could cut ties quickly, the Jing family wouldn't fare well.

The remaining ones can't be dug into; each dig is a bomb!

All in all, Jing Ming can only honestly be a rich family's playboy. He is the best‑looking among this generation of the Jing family.

"So he's just scavenging?!"

Tang Can felt a bit envious; luck is great! She, who fights on her own, envies Jing Ming's kind of heaven‑sent fortune.

"His luck isn't good; the Jing family is a mess now. His advantages are abroad, not in the country."

With that family example closely tied to abroad, Jing Ming would never dare use foreign forces to suppress dissenters at home.

"He's the only one in this generation worth looking at, but just a transitional figure; the old man of their family wants to pick a normal one among the grandchildren."

Liang Yan and Tang Can both understood. They had previously taken classes and training according to the heir's requirements, learning far more than outsiders imagined. Jing Ming is not young anymore, and it's too late for him to study now.

"Then isn't that just like Guoguo sister's family...?"

Tang Can thought of Guoguo's family. They still aren't daring to go out now.

Su Yu went "ah‑woo" and swallowed a shrimp, chewing while shaking her head; after finishing the shrimp, she added other ingredients and explained, "It's different. The Shi family had no one to front them back then, but the old grandpa of the Jing family is still fine! Jing Ming is just a mascot the Jing family shows to the outside."

Don't think that after Su Yu rose to power, many people doubt her ability, but the outside looks optimistic about the Su family's prospects, because the Su family has an heir.

If the ruler is elderly yet still holds a high position, those in the know think the old man is reluctant to give up power; those unaware just think the family has no successor, making it a soft target! "The Ren family wouldn't be the same, would they?"

The Tang family fell, but Tang Tang remains the de facto ruler of the Ren family. Tang Can knows her aunt isn't very happy. After Tang Can's career takes off, she occasionally consults Su Yu, bringing some Su family specialties, and sends them to Tang Tang in Su Yu's and her name.

Tang Can has been shamelessly living at the Su family, also using Su Yu's influence as a reason to back Tang Tang.

"Um, it's hard to say; Ren Tiandu's tongue is a bit sharp, but he's still okay toward your aunt. In a worldly sense, it's still okay!"

【Much worse than my dad!】

Su Yu didn't go after Su Yi to death; not only does her mother like him, but Su Yi is also very good to Ji Yan, able to make Ji Yan happy.

Liang Yan had heard, "Compared with my parents and Xiao Yu sister's parents, it's indeed not great. Sigh, my dad even said let me look for candidates; there are two pairs of role models around me, how could I possibly set my sights on an ordinary scheming man?"

Tang Can silently noted it, planning to ask her aunt next time.

Su Yu waved her hand, "If you really want to see, I'll apply, put together a pile of age‑appropriate files for you, arrange them all, and whichever you like, you can go after."

Liang Yan saw Tang Can's sour expression, smiled and changed the subject, "Alright! Can Can, come with me, help me with strategy!"

Tang Can nudged the big head leaning over, "We're eating, stop messing around, we should find something soft together to reference!"

Su Yu shook her head, "I've already organized the files, you pick whatever; as for me, money is my true love!"

"Hahaha! Gossip is a surprise?"

"Right! I'll continue telling you…"

…

The three laughed and chatted about gossip, while Yang Zhichun cried wildly in the dream! "Mom?"

Su Zeyan watched his mother, who always acted like a strong woman, sobbing profusely, feeling somewhat surreal.

Yang Zhichun glanced at her big son, and the complex emotions of reuniting with her husband dissipated completely.

She raised the cane that had inexplicably appeared in her dream, and struck at Su Zeyan! Su Zeyan tried to flee as before, but found he couldn't escape. No matter which direction he went, he ended up back under Yang Zhichun's cane.

"Mom!"

Five minutes later, "Mom, I'm sorry!"

"Where did you go wrong?"

Su Zeyan looked bewildered; how could he know where he was wrong? After he died, this was his first appearance in his family's dream!

"Awo, Mom, I shouldn't have trusted Zheng Dongping!"

Su Zeyan still doesn't understand to this day, what's the benefit of his wife killing him? There are three children at home; she can't beat Yang Zhichun and the two sons with her daughter.

"Anything else?"

Anything else?

Su Zeyan doesn't know! "Awo, Mom, I'm wrong! Mom, you tell me!"

Yang Zhichun was furious, "Everything has to be said by me, what are you thinking? Huh?! How could I have given birth to such a worthless thing!"

Su Zeyan's reaction reminded Yang Zhichun of Su Zeyan's past rebellious actions! In the past Su Zeyan would only oppose her, hit him, and would just say he didn't know what was wrong, making it seem like she was being unreasonable! Yang Zhichun ranted hysterically, while he stayed calm and took the blame, never changing even if he died!

"You just want to make me die of anger, right?"

"Awo!"

Su Zeyan felt aggrieved, does he really know nothing? Who will tell him what's going on! "I insist on staying alive!"

"Next time I'll hit you again!"

Yang Zhichun woke up startled from the dream. She looked at the surrounding equipment, pressed the bell, and had a caregiver push her out for a walk.

Yang Zhichun thought, next time I need to hint the precious great‑granddaughter, not give Su Zeyan too much time; she only wants to beat him and has nothing else to do, so don't waste the dream card.

Su Zeyan's whole body ached. He looked around and found himself in an unfamiliar study.

"Where is this again?"

Wasn't he dead? Could he have been reincarnated with his memories? "Su Zeyan?"

"Su Xi?"

Su Zeyan looked at the features similar to Su Xi's, but seeing a somewhat mature Su Xi, he felt uncertain.

"Yes, it's me, please sit!" Years of smooth CEO life gave Su Xi an inherent warm‑as‑jade aura. His expression remained aloof and detached, yet not cold. Now, the only thing that can break Su Xi's guard is Su Yu.

Su Zeyan was a bit dazed. He remembered that when he died, Su Xi was still a child who seemed cold on the surface but was actually somewhat irritable. Their father‑son relationship was tense; after a few words they'd start a petty fight, unable to communicate calmly.

Su Xi didn't study a business major back then; these years must have been quite tiring, right?

However, when Su Zeyan examined Su Xi's face again, it didn't look the same! He felt a bit guilty toward Su Xi. He wasn't a good father and left Su Xi a mess.

Su Xi could see Su Zeyan's guilt and remorse, but he no longer needed it.

"Mr. Su Zeyan, did you know that Ms. Zheng Dongping committed adultery during marriage, has two sons the same age as me and Su Yi, and the daughter is also someone else's child?"

Su Xi watched Su Zeyan perform a jump‑in‑place.

He felt delighted! So pleased!

He had wanted to do this for a long time. But over the years, he thought there was no need to spend so much money on Su Zeyan! "What did you say?"

Su Xi repeated it, and thoughtfully listed who Zheng Dongping had an affair with, the children's birthdays, ages, all clearly.

When he first saw Su Zeyan, he was already recalling this matter. Fortunately his memory is good, otherwise he wouldn't have remembered!

Su Zeyan performed a breakdown on the spot! He hasn't felt this uncomfortable even when his mother hit him! "You are talking nonsense!"

"You are all her children!"

"You look like her!"

"How could she have cheated?!"

"How could this be possible?"

"Because our mother is her twin sister!"

Su Xi recalled a past stimulating romance guide, "You haven't been loving the wrong person all along, have you?"

"Maybe back then you knew the sister, mistook her for the younger sister, and even helped her kill the person you loved most!"

"She is buried in our house!"

"It's the plot of land you personally ordered to be dug up!"

"You are also an accomplice!"

"Ah!"

Su Xi looked at Su Zeyan's reddened eyes, both hands clutching his head, a painful expression, and felt a satisfaction he hadn't imagined.

In the end, the pitiful one is still his mother. He doesn't even know whether his mother knows about him and his younger brother's existence. Are they his mother's disgrace or pride? Su Xi dares not see his mother!

Su Xi woke up, feeling lost. He unexpectedly saw Yang Zhichun in the garden, and Su Xi went down to find her.

Su Xi told the caregiver to leave, and he pushed Yang Zhichun forward.

"Grandma, have you seen grandpa and dad?"

Yang Zhichun nodded, "I beat your dad!"

"What about mom?"

Yang Zhichun turned back with surprise, "Did you see your mother?"

"No, why did Xiao Yu suddenly give us a dream card?"

Yang Zhichun turned back, "It's because I said I missed your grandpa and dad. It's been so many years!"

"Yes, so many years."

Yang Zhichun and Su Xi fell silent together.

"If you want to see her, you can tell Xiao Yu."

As long as you mention it during a meal, Su Yu will gladly give him and his mother a dream card.

"I don't dare! I'm afraid I'll upset her! I'm also afraid of an outcome I don't want!"

If he doesn't go see her, he can still imagine she might dislike Su Zeyan but has a hint of feeling for him. After meeting, the result may not be what he wants.

"Alas!"

If she had been more cautious back then, none of this would have happened.

"Grandma, it's not your fault."

"I know. Next time your dad appears in the dream again, I'll hit him!"

Knowing that in grandma's dream there is no mother, Su Xi's hope for Su Yi's dream vanished.

Sure enough, before long Su Xi's phone rang; it was Su Yi.

"Brother, have you seen Su Ze Yan?"

"Seen him."

Su Yi let out a sigh of relief, still thinking Su Yu had mistaken the person.

"Why is he so crazy? A person is dead, yet his spirit is still abnormal?"

"Or is it that after death, with no offerings, other ghosts bully him? Should he next time ask Grandpa to inquire, and arrange it for everyone in their family?"

"But asking Grandpa might make him unhappy. Maybe it's better to ask Su Ze Yan first; if he deceives him, let Grandpa beat him up! 'I don't know, but I told him about Zheng Dongping's infidelity.'"

"6! Brother, you're really awesome!"

"Su Ze Yan is a 24K pure‑gold edition love brain! Saying that, it would be abnormal if he didn't go mad."

Su Yi thought of Su Ze Yan's demeanor, and felt comfortable all over.

"Xiao Yu, you did a great job!"

Su Yi even wanted to give Su Yu some money to commend her! Su Xi twitched the corner of his mouth, saying nothing.

"Brother, I'm going to share this good news with Yan Yan, bye~"

Su Yi, excited, called Ji Yan.

Su Xi pushed Yang Zhichun around the garden.

Before entering the villa, Yang Zhichun sighed, "You really aren't marrying? Or that line, I don't care about lineage, I just want someone to keep you company."

"No."

Su Xi refused.

"Take me back to my room; I don't want to stay in the ward."

"Alright!"

Su Xi pushed Yang Zhichun back to his room, then returned to his own room and fell into a deep sleep.

……

"Uncle, haven't you rested well?"

Today we have the quarterly board meeting, and Su Xi has to attend. This quarter the company's report looks very good! Su Xi was quite happy yesterday! But now his complexion is so bad!

【Could it be that someone reported some issue to Uncle that I don't know about?】

"Mm! Didn't sleep well last night."

He keeps repeating childhood dreams; Su Xi's sleep quality is quite poor. He hasn't recovered upon waking, and his complexion is not good.

【Because of Su Ze Yan? If I had known, I wouldn't have let Uncle see Su Ze Yan, it would affect Uncle's mood.】

Wulongcha is surprising, 【shouldn't he beat up Su Ze Yan, feeling refreshed?】

This is how Su Xi scolds Su Yi and Su Yu.

Thanks for the votes, darlings~ A quick preview: it's almost over!
