Chapter 80: Whispers

I found it, but not much.

Yang Zhichun used his contacts to uncover some information, but wiping Liang Lijiang and the Liang Family cleanly isn't that easy.

I'll send it to Zhu Xueheng.

Hmm! The breakthrough is still with Liang Chengwei; didn't Xiao Yu give him the work card? Make the most of this period.

Alright!

Shi Xu said he'll come tomorrow.

You handle it; the company's already been handed over to you.

At that point, Yang Zhichun sighed, "If Su Zeyan had been willing to guide you hand‑by‑hand back then, you wouldn't have had to work so hard all these years!"

When little brother wakes up, let him use the Dream‑Entry card Xiao Yu drew; grandma thinks I'm so exhausted, so she'll beat him to the same exhaustion.

That works too!

The son died, but the sin he created has affected three generations!

Getting beaten is so easy; she'll beat him and then tell him he's wearing a green hat, and not just one!

……

After showering and washing her hair, Su Yu finished telling Ji Yan about today's banquet, then tugged Ji Yan's sleeve and acted cute!

Mom, that's how it went; I didn't mean it, please don't be mad at me~

【I've already eaten so many greens; let's just call it a day~】

I'll judge you by your performance!

Ji Yan's expression was flat. Her ambiguous attitude made Su Yu a little uneasy.

Mom~

Seeing Su Yu's unease, Ji Yan held her tightly, "Xiao Yu, it's fine to be mischievous, but as long as you don't put yourself in danger, Mom won't truly be angry.

But look at what you did today—adults were right beside you, yet you wouldn't let them help and insisted on doing it yourself!

What should you do when danger comes?

Not everyone is your elder uncle who would go to any lengths to save you.

If you weren't here, what would Mom do?

You can have adults light firecrackers; the effect's the same. Let adults hold the vase; Su Yu just needs to speak.

Mom, I understand!

【From now on, when danger arises, stay hidden; let adults handle the troublesome stuff, I'll just talk, not act!】

Ji Yan: Uh, sweetheart, you can skip bothering people, but if you have to, do it this way!

Interrupted by her daughter's heartfelt words, Ji Yan felt less melancholy.

Ji Yan patted Su Yu's hair, and once it was dry, let her sleep.

When Su Yu fell asleep, Ji Yan left her room for the study, studied the banquet schedule Yang Zhichun left, and memorized information about Mingmeng and Liang Lijiang. She herself would receive them, and she must avoid saying anything inappropriate tomorrow that could affect the three families' relations.

……

Zhu Family

Zhu Xueheng, after leaving his home, began to ask his daughter questions politely when he saw the news. Yet after half an hour of trying, he still couldn't get what his precious daughter was hiding from them. He never imagined the kind of problem she'd encounter that none of them could solve.

Going roundabout, he still couldn't draw anything out, and Zhu Xueheng wondered if his way of asking was the issue.

He was truly worried about his precious daughter, so he decided to ask directly, "Sweetheart, if you have a problem to tell Mom and Dad, we'll definitely help you solve it!"

Liang Yan pushed away Zhu Xueheng's looming face, "Ah, you're so annoying! Don't disturb me while I'm watching TV!"

Zhu Xueheng was also so annoying!

Su Xi, could you be any more useful! He knows Liang Yan has an unsolvable problem, so why not draw that out too!

His daughter always reads and replies messily; he's at a loss!

His wife doesn't take it seriously at all!

He's left alone, wracking his brain in agony!

Wife, why did you come down?

Just now she said she'd be busy; doesn't she need to produce a plan to integrate the Mu Family's businesses and assess the new projects Zhu Clan took on within these two days?

Su Xi sent you some information; I think it's useful, we should give it a try.

Liang Lijiang truly despises being forced to work with a hand on her throat. She's been a beast of burden for the Liang Family for so many years, repaid what she owed early, and doesn't want to be controlled by the old master any longer! As long as there's even a sliver of hope, she wants to give it a try.

What information?

Zhu Xueheng took the phone Liang Lijiang handed him, examined it carefully, and said, "How about I go with you?"

Zhu Xueheng didn't want his wife's double‑act with Liang Chengwei to get tangled up. He and the hypnotist went in to record; even if anyone saw, the worst they'd say is that he's flirtatious.

That'll do!

Huo Huo, Mom and Dad are going out on business; be good at home, finish this episode and then sleep, okay?

Liang Yan nodded obediently, "Got it!"

Liang Lijiang and Zhu Xueheng left; Liang Yan finished watching TV and was about to go upstairs to sleep when his mother's assistant showed up again.

She recalled what Su Yu taught her today and silently followed.

……

Good morning, Chef Uncle!

Good morning, Miss Xiao Yu!

Chef Uncle, please make more snacks today; my little buddy Huo Huo will be coming over to play.

alright, I will!

Su Yu happily ran back to have breakfast. After the chef asked the kitchen staff through the steward, they hurriedly prepared kid‑friendly treats like candy, grilled sausages, chicken legs, and other small snacks.

Su Yu happily toddles with her little feet, eating a small dumpling each bite. After finishing, she goes to Su Yi's room to complete the daily task, "Dad, good morning!"

【Feeling good today! Huo Huo is here, maybe we can watch TV a bit longer～】

【Today is a good day; everything I wish for can come true……】

Su Yi: "Ah! So annoying! On a day off, getting up this early—any money to pick up?"

Su Yu says, there really is money to pick up!

"Will you really give it to me?"

Su Yu lifts her sparkling eyes and looks at Mingmeng, who gave her the red envelope.

She was just greeting dad, and Shi Xu and Mingmeng came in? That's too early!

Mingmeng nods, "Mm! This is a welcome gift for you! Our two families will visit each other often from now on!"

The latter sentence is addressed to Ji Yan.

"Thank you!"

Su Yu happily grabs the red envelope, 【It looks like I can Draw card now!】

The child in Shi Xu's arms keeps watching Mingmeng's movements; she glances at Mingmeng, then at Su Yu, lifts her chubby hand, points at the red envelope, "Oh! Yi!"

Ji Yan smiles and nods, "Of course, such a cute child comes to my house often, I'm delighted!"

Ji Yan also stuffs a red envelope into Mingmeng's child.

"Guoguo, quickly thank Aunt Yan!"

"Yi?"

Shi Xu's daughter looks at her mother, and with her little hand pushes the red envelope toward her mother.

"Wow, little Guoguo already knows how to hand over a red envelope to mom!"

【Ugh, I have to hand mine in too!】

The adults present laugh heartily at that.

"Xiao Yu!"

"Huo Huo!"

Su Yu runs out and sees Liang Yan already rushing to the doorway.

Liang Yan shouts loudly at the parents behind him, "I told you to come early; Guoguo has already arrived! You're still dragging your feet!"

Mingmeng, excited, steps forward quickly; she is also her daughter's savior, "Huo Huo? Come, here's your welcome gift!"

Liang Yan looks a bit stunned and instinctively glances at Su Yu beside her.

"Quickly say thank you, Auntie, I have one too!"

"Thank you, Auntie!"

"You're welcome!"

Mingmeng and Liang Lijiang, who stepped forward, exchange a smile.

Su Yu takes Liang Yan's hand and goes in together. Ji Yan also gives a red envelope.

"Thank you, Auntie!"

Liang Yan holds the two red envelopes, very happy!

She will come to Xiao Yu's house again next time!

She can receive two red envelopes!

The aunties here are also friendly; each smiles at her!

Su Yu is also happy to receive Liang Lijiang's red envelope.

"Thank you, Auntie!"

【The elders' red‑envelope swapping game finally ended! Poor us kids, we lost the laughs, we can see it, we can touch it, but can't use it.】

Wulongcha nods nearby; it wakes up when it hears red envelopes. After just checking how much money there is, it learns this red envelope must be handed over to adults, and its whole system goes wrong!

The Host is really too poor!

Thinking that way, it also feels that the Host doing business is fine, at least there's a way to bring in money. The Lucky Cards they obtain by signing in can be used for the Host's career!

Liang Yan sits in the living room, drinks some water, and starts getting restless. The adults' conversation is so boring; she's not hungry now, doesn't really want food, she just wants to play!

"Mom, I want to go with Xiao Yu to ride the carousel!"

Liang Lijiang says nothing, Ji Yan nods, "Xiao Yu, go play with Huo Huo sister; let Butler Uncle take you there. This time you may not play with sand!"

"Okay!"

【I know, Huo Huo didn't bring clothes, if we get dirty we can't change, so we can't play!】

Su Yu nods, sees the Butler standing not far away, and waves at Mingmeng and the others, "Mom, Aunties, see you at lunch!"

Ji Yan smiles and nods: "Just don't play with sand!"

"Okay!"

"See you at lunch!"

Liang Lijiang and Mingmeng also wave at Su Yu and Liang Yan, while Zhu Xueheng, ignored by the two children, hangs his head dejectedly. Seeing his daughter turn and leave without even looking at him, his mood sinks further.

The Butler drives Su Yu and Liang Yan to the amusement area in the manor.

"Look, we can play here!"

"Wow, really! So many fun things! Xiao Yu, shall we start with the carousel?"

Su Yu nods, "Sure, let's ride the carousel first, then do other things."

The Butler has the person in charge start the carousel for a test run. All data normal, then the Butler lets Su Yu and Liang Yan ride.

"Xiao Yu, will Butler Uncle stay with us the whole time?"

"Yes, yes, he'll be responsible for our safety."

The butler kept following them; it must be at the adults' request. Su Yu only admitted her mistake last night, so she won't be defiant today.

"Huo Huo doesn't like Uncle Butler? I can have Uncle Butler call someone else over; you pick whichever you like!"

Liang Yan shook his head, "But I want to whisper something to you!"

"Then we'll go on the Ferris wheel later; once the cabin closes, Uncle Butler won't hear us!"

"Sure!"

Liang Yan was eager to whisper to Su Yu; after one round on the carousel, she called a stop.

The butler stopped the carousel, and the two went to the Ferris wheel. Three bodyguards were added around the wheel to protect their safety.

When the Ferris wheel reached the highest point, Liang Yan whispered to Su Yu, "Xiao Yu sister, I dealt with the bad guy as you taught me yesterday."

"How did you deal with him?"

【Efficiency this high? The bad guy Liang Yan mentioned was actually right beside her? Then why didn't Liang Lijiang and Zhu Xueheng know? Even if they knew, why let him stay near them?】

Su Yu was utterly confused!

"I took advantage of him stealing my mother's study's planning proposal; when he turned his back to me, I smashed his leg with a vase."

【He really followed my teaching, all with a vase.】

"And then?"

"His leg broke, so he can't steal anything; my mother scolded me."

【It's over, he won't turn me in, right?】

Thinking of last night's greens, Su Yu felt a bitter taste spread through her whole body!

"What did she scold you for?"
