Chapter 42: Illusory Vision

After a brief silence, the video footage finished playing, and Su Yu continued to speak.

"Next, please raise your sign."

"01, question!"

"Ms. Su Yu, why are you the host of this press conference?"

"I remember you have been here since the start of the conference."

The reporter nodded.

"Next, please raise your sign!"

"Ms. Su Yu, you still haven't answered my question."

Su Yu tilted her big head and said, "Do you prefer the replay or a netizen's screen recording?"

Su Yu's face was almost emblazoned with the four characters "Willfully Asking"!

A netizen mischievously @-ed the reporter's company and official blog, claiming to have a screen recording for just one cent!

"07, question!"

"Ms. Su Yu, is the rumor that you were Jiang Xiangxiang true or false?"

"Can you read the words on the banner?"

The reporter glanced at the banner, instantly grasped Su Yu's point—the theme was Ji Yan. So he didn't read it aloud and sat down silently.

"Next, 02, question!"

"Ms. Ji Yan, if your lawsuit against your adoptive parents for fraud succeeds, will you demand they return the money they obtained?"

"The law will make the most just decision!"

…

When the press conference ended, the most talked‑about topic wasn't Ji Yan. Netizens were debating how a child of Su Yu's genius‑to‑monster level could actually exist!

Her mind truly rivals that of an adult!

As for usury and fraud? These days being scammed is nothing new. Every year there's an anti‑scam campaign, yet every year people fall victim. Moreover, the money involved is often used for usury; neither side is a good person, so it's hardly worth netizens' time to discuss.

【Su Clan Group V: Who dares to bully our little General Manager Su, Ms. Su Yu?!】

Oh, it's General Manager Su, then it's fine. Video. MP4】

In the video, Su Yu, who had just been holding a chubby little face at the press conference, was squealing and hiding behind Yang Zhichun.

"Quick, come over and drink it, didn't you drink it yesterday?"

Su Xi approached holding carrot juice, while Su Yu slipped to the other side.

"I don't want it! No, please!"

【What mortal suffering is this? Struggling half a day and can't even get a sip of water.】

Ji Yan silently handed a cup of apple juice to Su Yu.

Su Yu's big black eyes flickered between the apple juice and the carrot juice, clearly weighing them.

Finally, her chubby little hand struggled to lift the apple juice, and she gulped it down.

"Alright, have some water."

"Mm!"

Su Yu wilted and tucked herself into Yang Zhichun's arms, her expression like someone who just drank a bowl of bitter medicine with coptis.

【Wooo, why am I only three years old?】

The video ended, and netizens showed no sympathy for Su Yu, still laughing loudly.

When Su Yu got home, she was all wilted. At that moment, she felt her life had hit rock bottom.

It wasn't until Ji Yan took Su Yu inside to talk with Su Yi that her mood improved a bit.

【Fine, I'm not the worst; my dad is.】

Su Yi: I know you still say it! You still say it! You still say it!

Su Yu dragged her little chin as she daydreamed. She didn't care at all about her mother's history with Su Yi.

Next door, Su Xi frowned. "This can't continue! The stimulation isn't strong enough."

Su Xi searched online for '#How to Stimulate a Married Man Who Loves His Wife#'

The search results were all tarot ads and 'Mistress Guides'!

This is completely useless!

Su Xi decisively used a secondary account to post on a popular social platform '#How to Stimulate a Married Man Who Loves His Wife#'

【Something's off, very off, why did I get this?】

【Isn't it that they invited you and provoked you?】

【Ah, OP, this is your fault, punish you with ten plates of West Lake vinegar fish.】

【Above, I think punishing the OP by watching 'First Sight Photo Studio' ten times is even harsher.】

【Above, making the OP watch ten times isn't enough; he should watch the Spring Festival Gala for nearly two years, ten times each.】

Su Xi saw them going off‑topic and immediately replied.

【It's to stimulate a vegetative patient; he never wakes up, but his wife and family love him, so he reacts more to matters concerning his wife. Stimulating him is somewhat unethical, but might be a way to rouse him.】

【That's so unethical, then deduct a few reputation points as punishment.】

【Hmm, although, punish the OP by copying 'I'm sorry' ten times to that vegetative patient, then go? The OP might as well tell him you cheated on him, the child is yours?】

【First punish the OP with a week ban on eating bitter melon! PS: Is that harsh enough? Have you seen the latest Su Clan gossip? Tell him he's not his parents' biological child, and his child isn't his biological child either. Double crit!】

…

Su Xi kept scrolling; within ten minutes, there were dozens of comments, most saying he cheated on Su Yi. But making him come is impossible!

Su Xi touched his chin, but actually it's not impossible; the target just needs to change.

Su Xi sent a message asking Meng Xianle to gather information, and he himself went downstairs.

"Where's Su Yu?"

"The little miss is playing in the amusement area."

"Alright!"

Su Xi drove the tour bus to the amusement area himself. Ji Yan was discussing banquet attire and common language traps with Yang Zhichun, while Su Yu was playing with sand alone.

"What's fun about this?"

Su Xi looked at the carousel, driving simulators, claw machines, rocking cars and other attractions, then at Su Yu building sand in the sandbox, and truly couldn't understand her hobby.

Su Yu pretended not to hear, but inside thought, "Hmph! I just like it, mind your own business!"

Su Yu kept building her little sand pile. She found that playing with sand was incredibly stress‑relieving! No matter how she played, she could just smooth it out at the end, requiring no extra effort.

A vein on Su Xi's forehead twitched.

Before Su Yu started playing, she was spotless like a pretty little princess. After Su Yu played, she resembled a Samoyed that had rolled in a mud pit. Su Xi even hallucinated a mud‑covered Samoyed happily building sand.

"Come up!"

"Don't!"

"Mom, help!"

Su Xi simply lifted Su Yu up. Ji Yan glanced at them and then continued chatting with Yang Zhichun.

She will most likely attend the banquet later, so it's better to know more. Su Xi and the others cherish Su Yu and won't do anything to her.

Su Xi tossed Su Yu into her room.

"Hurry and take a shower, change clothes!"

"I don't want to!"

Su Yu pursed her lips, widened her eyes at Su Xi, her face full of anger!

"I still want to play later, Uncle, what on earth are you looking for? I've been asking all the way! Why won't you answer me?"

"Hurry and take a shower, change clothes; I'll tell you after you're done."

Su Yu pitter‑pattered into the room, gave herself a battle shower, wore pajamas, and ran out with wet hair.

Su Xi patiently dried her off and began pondering the possibility of adopting Su Yu. After all, his younger brother doesn't like Su Yu, and Su Yu is the heir. If he adopts her, he won't have to raise another.

If he gets married, the wife will be his alone, and he won't have to bear the burden of having children.

"Let's go."

Su Yu returned to Su Yi's ward, staring at Uncle with a bewildered expression.

"What's really going on? Su Yi hasn't woken up either?"

"Here, take this."

Su Yu stared at the atlas in her hands, eyes wide open.
