Chapter 66: Attending the Banquet

"We can't determine when he'll wake up; it could be today, it could be tomorrow. His data is a bit strange, but his body is fine."

Shi Tingzhang feels somewhat guilty about his high salary.

"As long as the body is fine."

Su Xi has recently crammed up on some novel knowledge, guessing what this restriction might be? It's like he has always wanted to ruin Chu Han Ya, but there's an external force that can give her a hand. For example, when he planned to use the "suing Chu Han Ya" incident to push Chu Han Ya's scandal onto the Hot Search, the Mu Family stepped in. The Chu Family then promptly removed the Chu Han Ya–related Hot Search.

Su Yu and her system are still there. Recovery Cards, those miraculous items, are already available, and later there might even be a card to wake Su Yi.

……

"Aren't you wearing a formal dress to the banquet?"

Su Xi saw Su Yu, who claimed she would dress up nicely, appear in a formal outfit whose style was highly similar to his. She also made a tie exactly like his, and at first glance she looked like a chubby, child version of him.

"Yes, this looks so dashing!"

Su Yu propped herself against the wall with one hand, striking a pose often used by domineering CEOs.

【Hehe, since Chu Han Ya is going, I'll dress to look even more like big uncle. In the plot, she was still eyeing big uncle, so she laid many traps for him. After her marriage alliance with him became hopeless, it got even worse, with a look that if she can't get him she'll kill him; who wouldn't call her a crazy old woman.】

【They're all enemies now, I have to make her so angry she dies! If she really gets angry enough to cause a problem, that would be great. She later developed mental issues. With the plot changing so much now, what if I can drive her mad in advance!】

"Looks really stupid."

"???"

【Are you trying to make me angry to death right now? I'll give you a chance to reorganize your words!】

Su Xi thought that Su Yu had been too well-behaved these past few days, and he could briefly tolerate her rebellion.

"Next time, don't copy weird moves. If you decide to wear this outfit, just go, and remember to bring a spare set of clothes."

【Oh, you meant the moves, I thought you were talking about me.】

Ji Yan handed the bag to Su Yu, "You don't know how to tie a tie, so ask your big uncle for help, okay?"

"Got it~"

Su Yu hopped and skipped, holding Su Xi's hand to go board the car.

【Time to cause some trouble!】

Ji Yan was a bit worried: when Su Yu returns from causing trouble, should she stop her or join in?

The car drove smoothly to the Shi Family.

Before getting off, Su Xi reminded Su Yu, "This time it's an outdoor banquet; you must not play with the sand. The sand here isn't clean, so you need to be more composed outside."

Su Xi recalled the previous sand‑covered Su Yu. Sand had invaded her clothes and hair from every angle without a blind spot. The Shi Family is so dirty; who knows what bacteria are in the sand.

"Alright."

【Got it, I'll get to work now! Wulongcha, pick the right moment; I don't want to get rained on.】

【Here it comes!】

Su Xi:??? What do you know? How come I don't know?

Su Xi carried Su Yu toward the banquet venue.

As he stepped into a corridor and just saw the banquet‑specific fresh flowers not far away, a sudden rain burst down.

"Ah!"

"Why did it suddenly start raining!"

"What's the Shi Family doing, why isn't there a place to shelter from the rain?"

Su Xi looked at Su Yu, who was excitedly watching a crowd of people running around inside, and couldn't understand why she suddenly started targeting the Shi Family.

Quickly voice her thoughts in her mind!

He knows he can help together; his energy is greater than hers, so his actions will definitely be harsher!

【Hehe, this rain is chilling to the bone! Such a pity for those foods!】

Su Yu moved her mouth, and Su Xi pulled a piece of candy from his pocket.

"Are you hungry?"

Su Yu didn't understand how the conversation between her and big uncle jumped to whether she was hungry. She originally wanted to say she wasn't, but seeing people seeking shelter come over, she nodded and admitted, "Hmm, a little."

"Little sister Xiao Yu, I also want candy!"

Su Yu just got the candy in hand, about to unwrap it, heard that familiar voice, turned to see a familiar face, came down from Su Xi's arms and handed the candy over, "Huo Huo, you're here too?"

【Last time you didn't even ask, whose child is Huo Huo?】

Liang Yan rushed over and slammed on the brakes right in front of Su Xi and Su Yu.

She took the candy, "Yeah. I just arrived, was about to eat, and then it rained. The cake melted away with the rain."

Su Yu's gaze lingered suspiciously on Liang Yan's skirt for a moment. Are you sure you didn't feed the skirt?

"I want candy!"

Su Xi pulled out another one.

Liang Yan and Su Yu ate the candy happily, while the others forced into the corridor to shelter from the rain were less happy. Especially some children; unlike Su Yu and Liang Yan, their damp clothes clung to them, making them uncomfortable, and without familiar adults they began to wail.

The other corridor was also noisy to the point of chaos, but the rain's sound made it hard to hear from afar.

Su Xi sent a message to Zhu Xueheng, telling him that Liang Yan was with him, so he needn't worry.

【What a mess! This must be one of the Shi Family's most embarrassing banquets!】

After ten minutes, the Shi Family finally set up two rather crude rain‑shielding passages, inviting the distinguished guests to the inner hall.

Su Xi held Su Yu in one arm, and with his other hand led Liang Yan, following the crowd inside.

【Where did their family get so much plastic sheet and carpet? The rain is held back, but everyone's faces are getting uglier one after another!】

The large, wide plastic sheet overhead blocked the rain, but the carpet beneath quickly became soaked by the flowing water. Everyone's expensive shoes stepped on the carpet; no matter how careful they were, they got splashed with muddy water.

Su Xi suddenly felt relieved that only his own family could hear Su Yu's thoughts. If others could hear them, the hatred he was stirring against the Shi Family would shift onto her.

The inner hall was already set with fresh flowers, pastries, and attendants guiding guests to the lounge to change clothes.

Huo Huo, do you want to go change clothes? We'll keep you company!

Liang Yan glanced at her clothes and said, "Yes!"

Su Xi led Liang Yan and Su Yu over, and the attendant hurriedly took them to the children's changing room to change clothes.

Liang Yan took Su Yu's hand and went in, while Su Xi waited outside for them.

"Huo Huo, what are you rummaging through?"

Su Yu saw Liang Yan constantly flipping through the hanging clothes, and she looked puzzled.

"I'm looking for clothes similar to what I'm wearing—what a lousy place, everything's dresses!"

Liang Yan stomped her foot, she was really angry. Before her mother came, she had been told not to lose her temper, and to eat something if she felt like it.

But! She had nothing to eat!

Now she doesn't even have a single piece of clothing she likes!

What's the point of holding this lousy banquet?

"Knock knock!"

"Huo Huo, can Mom come in?"

"Come in!"

Hearing her daughter's somewhat irritable voice, Liang Lijiang entered calmly, "Huo Huo, pick one first; when we get home I'll take you shopping for something you like."

Liang Yan eyed her suspiciously, "You're not working overtime? You won't dump me with the new dad again, will you?"

"Not working overtime today."

"Then it's settled!"

Liang Yan broke into a satisfied smile, ready to pick out something nice from these clothes.

"Hello, Auntie! I'm heading out first!"

Su Yu gave Liang Lijiang a cute, obedient smile, then dashed to the door and shut it with a "bang".

"Little Yu, wait for me!"

Liang Yan didn't have time to be picky; she grabbed a decent-looking dress, threw it on in a few quick moves, and pattered out.

Liang Lijiang was stunned by her picky daughter!

She had never seen her change clothes so quickly!

Usually it takes an hour to decide, and with her supervision it saves half an hour—now it's only a few minutes?

Liang Lijiang quickly grabbed her, "You said you didn't want to play with her, right?"

Last time your dad asked you, you said you wouldn't go play with her.

Good night, dear ones~
