Chapter 6: Finding My Older Uncle

After a while, she glanced again; mother was washing vegetables.

Su Yu clutched her phone and carefully ran back to her room, searching online for the address of the Su Clan Group.

She remembered that in the story, her older uncle had doubled the company this year and would now stay at the headquarters often, so she could try her luck there.

She used the map for navigation, and Su Yu copied the bus and subway routes onto paper; great, it was only three stops away. After copying, she stared at her short arms and legs and worried.

Is it not good for her to ride without a ticket?

If she uses money to buy a subway ticket, she'll be sent to the police station, right?

Su Yu cleared the records, ran back to the sofa and pretended to watch TV.

Mackabaka and the like, so boring! She wants to watch a cheesy melodrama!

"Dinner's ready!"

"Coming!"

Su Yu scooped up a big bowl and chomped furiously. Ji Yan, seeing this, looked at her little belly with concern.

"As long as you're full, that's fine; don't overeat!"

"Yum~ Mom's cooking is delicious!"

"Mom will keep feeding you from now on!"

"Mm-hmm!"

Su Yu's chopsticks darted rapidly between shrimp fried egg, pan‑fried fish, and mushroom chicken. As for steamed fish and stir‑fried greens, she didn't even glance at them.

……

After a month in the new home, Su Yu visibly gained a big round of weight. Her once skinny little face had become plump and cute, looking delightful.

"Sweetie, Mom has to go to the company for a meeting; stay at home nicely, okay?"

Ji Yan didn't want to take her daughter to the company; she couldn't look after her.

"Okay!"

Su Yu nodded very cheerfully.

【Mom finally has a job; after all she's a female star, how can she be lazier than an eighteenth‑tier rookie!】

Seeing her daughter without a hint of reluctance, Ji Yan felt a pang. Isn't she just changing agents? Although she released the call recording and caused a mess, this was the best way to deal with that pretentious agent who always put on a show in front of outsiders.

"You must stay at home and not open the door to strangers, understand?"

Su Yu scratched her head, "Got it!"

Seeing Ji Yan still uneasy, Su Yu proactively said, "Mom, I'm going back to my room to sleep; you go on with your work!"

"Alright!"

Su Yu watched Ji Yan glance back every few steps, then happily returned to her room to sleep.

Ji Yan left.

Su Yu tucked herself into the blanket and tapped in the void.

"Signing in for a month straight just to get a draw‑card chance; your busted system is even worse than a gacha game!"

【I'm just a system; who doesn't have money in their pocket?】

"How can you say that? One draw costs ten thousand bucks; which spendthrift can afford that!"

The system fell silent, feeling a bit guilty. It missed the timing because of a fight, and this host had left the Jiang Family, so of course couldn't afford to spend.

【I saved the whole plot for you; why am I a busted system?】

"Alright, sorry, it's my fault; if you aren't broken, you're heartless. Wulongcha, so dark!"

System Wulongcha:... Hmph! On strike!

Su Yu clicked the draw. The entire virtual page turned into a game‑like card pool, showing dozens of cards swirling, finally emitting a golden light.

【Congratulations, you obtained a Lucky Card!】

Another Lucky Card! Su Yu saw the unlocked draw‑card compendium, which listed Lucky Card ×2. She was especially curious what other kinds of cards existed!

"System, are you really sure my older uncle is at the company today?"

【Of course! I checked, he's currently in the company!】

To give Su Yu money to spend on draws, the system worked hard, monitoring for thirty consecutive days—basically doing unpaid labor for Su Yu!

After drawing a good card, Su Yu waited about ten minutes, thought Ji Yan had gone far enough, lifted the blanket, left a note for Mom, put on her phone watch, changed into her Little Bear outfit, put on a mask, slung her Little Bear Bag, and left home to find her older uncle in person.

As for why she didn't call her older uncle?

Because she was blocked!

Subway station, automatic ticket machine

"Wow, this kid is so cute, and can buy a ticket by herself!"

"Hurry, let's let the little darling go first!"

"She's so adorable! Such big eyes!"

"She looks like our Yan Yan's daughter!"

Su Yu, thanks to everyone's courtesy, got to the front of the line. However, the ticket machine was too tall...

"Damn!"

Can't the ticket machine consider a child's height!

"Kid, do you want me to help you?"

The sister who gave up her spot to Su Yu asked in a nasal voice, "..."

Su Yu turned her head, her round eyes curving, and nodded, "Thank you, sister! You're beautiful and kind!"

"Thank you, little darling!"

The girl behind whispered, "She's so cute!"

"Sweetie, are you alone?"

"I'm not; I've taken the subway with Mom many times!"

The adults automatically assumed that this little darling's mother was training her and might be waiting somewhere for her.

Su Yu bought a ticket, politely thanked the older sisters and older brothers who gave her their seats, then swiped her ticket to enter the station.

The subway only required three stops, and it arrived quickly. Su Yu followed the crowd out and saw the four big characters "Su Clan Group" at the subway station entrance.

Su Yu trotted cheerfully into the Su Clan Group building. The receptionist, seeing Su Yu, walked over and gently asked her.

"Kid, who are you looking for?"

"Can I wait here for someone?"

The receptionist hesitated a bit.

"Sister, I won't wander around; I'll just wait here."

Su Yu pointed to the nearby sofa. The receptionist looked at the logo on Su Yu's clothing—a well‑known children's brand costing about ten thousand yuan each—and thought she couldn't be an ordinary child.

"Alright, if you have any other matters, you can come to me for help!"

"Thank you, sister!"

Su Yu actually wanted to go to the underground garage to find Uncle's car, but she couldn't enter through normal channels, and it was dangerous.

So her still‑cold Lucky Card came into play again.

"Reduce the cooperation project with the Jiang Family by another two percent!"

"Alright, General Manager Su!"

Su Yu saw Su Xi emerging from the elevator, his eyes lighting up, and he rushed forward like a cannonball. The receptionist didn't even have time to stop him.

【Uncle, I'm here! Charge duck!】

Su Xi was startled by being called "Uncle"! His younger brother hadn't had any incidents before, so the child was probably about the same age.

Su Xi quickly pulled his mind away and looked at the chubby lump clinging to his thigh.

"Who are you?"

"Do you think I look like you?"

The assistant, who had just been about to pull the child off Su Xi's leg, froze upon hearing the question, seeing Su Xi's displeased expression.

???

What does that mean?!

Does the president have an illegitimate child?

Su Xi's cold, sharp peach‑blossom eyes stared at Su Yu's round, plump peach‑blossom eyes.

Su Yu mimicked his expression, squinting and pulling her mouth corners flat.

【Hehe, does it look like that now? But what if Uncle is certain he didn't do anything improper and refuses to acknowledge me? Does Uncle know that dad and mom are married? Mom says I look like dad, so maybe it's not right for me to copy Uncle?】
