Chapter 85: The Toy Room and the Music Room

Under everyone's gaze, Mingmeng subconsciously raised her voice a bit, "One day, I took the baby for postpartum recovery, went into the wrong room, and accidentally ran into her in the next room."

At that time, Mingmeng was still puzzled—she hadn't given birth, so why would she go to a postpartum recovery place?

Except for Liang Yan and the child in Mingmeng's arms, everyone present understood what it meant.

【It must have been a miscarriage, huh? They're really daring! Wouldn't anyone nearby feel it?】

Su Yu didn't understand! The old man doesn't live with his new wife? Moreover, whether it's pregnancy, miscarriage, or postpartum recovery, there would be records. Aren't they afraid the Liang Family patriarch would investigate?

If the daughter weren't still here, Zhu Xueheng would have laughed out loud for a whole minute! He's been on a roll lately—it's like divine assistance!

With this mess, that kid Liang Chengwei shouldn't expect things to go smoothly!

Liang Yan blinked, "Little Xiao Yu, what are the aunties talking about?"

"She caught your great‑grandma doing something bad!"

Mingmeng looked at Ji Yan in surprise; Su Yu is so young, yet she actually understood the meaning of her words?

Ji Yan nodded at her, indicating that Su Yu truly understood.

"Oh!"

Liang Yan wasn't interested in that!

Su Yu wanted to keep listening to the gossip, but Ji Yan hurried her and Liang Yan upstairs to play.

"Xiao Yu, go upstairs and play with Huo Huo!"

"Alright, Huo Huo, come play with me!"

"Little Xiao Yu, are we going to your room?"

"No, we're going to the toy room."

Liang Yan opened the toy room door and exclaimed, "Wow!"

"Little Xiao Yu! Is this heaven?!"

Su Yu nodded, "This place is pretty fun!"

The adults in the house really spoil her. She'd been home for only about a week, and the second floor already had a massive toy room arranged.

Inside is a small figurine playground. Various animal‑shaped figures are arranged in different poses, as if taking part in a sports meet. In the center of that meet lies a lawn‑colored rug; Su Yu can sit in the middle and play, rolling around without falling off.

Following the rug, which is shaped like a little path, leads to a trampoline and a seven‑colored ball pit filled with soft hollow balls.

By the window are custom lazy‑person sofas—one shaped like a strawberry, the other like a brown bear. Near the window sits a row of Barbie dolls and plush dolls. Each doll's side cabinet holds tiny skirts, wigs, jewelry, lipstick, blush, false lashes, and other accessories. Several mirrors adorned with co‑brand stickers are neatly placed on a dressing table. The matching stools are soft plush low stools, embroidered on the sides with various vegetable patterns.

On the other side is a miniature racing track with remote‑control cars. The racing game offers an automatic mode and a manual mode. Su Yu can race against the sensor‑controlled machines or play together with family members.

Going further, there's a small castle that blends building blocks and puzzles, featuring large blocks and tiny block models. A block box sits on the side, its four faces printed with the complete castle image; inside are the remaining blocks and puzzle pieces for that castle.

The innermost area is a music‑box wonderland; the floor‑to‑ceiling glass windows at the outer edge offer a distant view of the garden's beautiful flora, while the ceiling of this zone hangs tiny lights shaped like stars, moons, little animals, and plants. Variously shaped music boxes sit on the floor and low wall cabinets. From above, the two piles of music boxes form a strawberry shape and a bear‑head shape.

If that playground belongs to Su Xi and Su Yi, then this toy room is Su Yu's own wonderland.

"Can I play with this?"

Liang Yan picked up an unopened Barbie doll, his eyes full of anticipation!

"Sure, if you like them, you can take them all home; consider them a gift from me!"

Su Yu doesn't really like Barbie dolls; she never spends time dressing them up and prefers plush toys.

If Liang Yan takes all those Barbie dolls away, Su Yu could choose something else to fill the gap.

"Ah! Thank you, Little Xiao Yu!"

Liang Yan cheerfully patted the dolls, and Su Yu called out to the butler at the door, "Butler Uncle, could you come in for a moment~"

"Miss Xiao Yu, what can I help you with?"

"Please pack these; they're a gift from me to Huo Huo!"

"Got it! I'll have them packed right away. Shall I also send the stool and table?"

Su Yu looked at Liang Yan; Liang Yan glanced back and shook his head, "A bit ugly!"

Su Yu nodded vigorously, "I think so too!"

The butler smiled at the corner of his eye, gave Su Yu a glance, then went out to summon other servants to pack the items. Although Su Yu was delighted when she first saw the fluffy chair, she began to scoff as soon as she noticed the embroidered vegetable pattern.

The servants entered one by one to pack the Barbie dolls and other items, while Su Yu and Liang Yan went inside to play with the music boxes.

"How can there be so many songs? My music box only has one!"

Liang Yan tried several before finding one whose music duplicated the earlier ones. Moreover, she discovered that none of the music boxes shared the same shape!

That's so cool!

"If Huo Huo likes any, you can pick some to take!"

"That wouldn't be right."

Liang Yan watched those Barbie dolls being packed and taken away, feeling a bit uneasy. It seemed she had taken a lot for Little Xiao Yu, even though she was the older sister and hadn't given many things to her sister!

"We're good friends; these toys can't compare to our friendship!"

Liang Yan, excited, lunged forward and planted a fierce kiss on Su Yu.

"Little Xiao Yu, I really like you!"

Su Yu returned the hug, "Huo Huo, I like you too!"

Zhu Xueheng entered, looking bewildered:???

Did he act rashly downstairs? Shouldn't he tell his daughter that girls shouldn't share a room? These two are way too close!

"What are you doing?"

Zhu Xueheng stepped forward, trying to pull Liang Yan away from Su Yu.

Liang Yan pushed away Zhu Xueheng's hand, "Dad, what are you doing? Aren't you supposed to be playing with Miss Xiao Yu and Miss Guoguo's dad?"

"You didn't even look for your Guoguo sister to play with!"

"Guoguo sister can't talk and falls asleep at any moment; how can you play? Are you holding her?"

Zhu Xueheng was talked back to, his face somewhat embarrassed.

His daughter ignored him, so Zhu Xueheng could only go over to find the butler.

"What are you doing?"

"This is a gift from Miss Su Yu to Miss Huo Huo."

"Good!"

Zhu Xueheng, who had just been swindled out of a sum of money by Su Xi and driven out, clapped and exclaimed, "Good!"

Liang Yan, who was holding a music box, was startled.

"Dad, go out; this is a place for us kids to play."

"It's fine, Dad will accompany you in picking; the more you pick, the better—Su Yu is generous, right?"

Su Yu nodded and then shook her head, saying, "I can be generous with Huo Huo, but not with you!"

【It's obvious at a glance that you were kicked out by my great-uncle; I help kin, not reason!】

Zhu Xueheng clutched his chest and slowly fell to the ground, saying, "Su Yu, Uncle hearing these words is truly heartbroken! My heart, pierced by your words, bleeds profusely!"

Liang Yan looked up with some worry; Su Yu would never be fooled by him, saying, "Uncle, do you need me to call 120 for you?"

Liang Yan nodded, saying, "I'll call 120 too!"

Seeing his precious daughter really come up to take her phone to call 120, Zhu Xueheng sprang up, saying, "I'm already much better!"

Liang Yan frowned, saying, "Dad, don't always play house; you understand things, you're already an adult!"

Zhu Xueheng: ……

【Hahaha!】

Liang Yan walked back huffing and puffing, continuing to pick the music box he liked.

"Su Yu, I can play the piano; I can play the twinkling, sparkling sound of the music box!"

"Do you want to play? I have a piano at home, but I need to ask my mother first!"

Liang Yan nodded, saying, "Want to!"

"Butler Uncle, could you ask my mother if Huo Huo and I can go into the music room to play the piano?"

The butler nodded and sent a message to the servants below.

After a while, "Miss Su Yu, the madam says it's allowed!"

"Then let's go!"

Su Yu took Liang Yan's hand and walked toward the music room.

Zhu Xueheng waddled after them.

"Su Xi really knows how to ingratiate himself! Such a huge music room—tsk tsk tsk, truly you can't judge a book by its cover! No, I have to post this on my social feed!"

Zhu Xueheng ran back to the toy room and took several "click-click" photos, then ran back to the music room and took several "click-click" photos of the backs of the two children watching the instruments.

Zhu Xueheng: "You single dogs, learn from Su Xi—see how good he is at coaxing people! Who would've thought that even a stingy person like me could have such a lavish moment with the music room and toy room!"

After posting, Zhu Xueheng smiled satisfiedly.

"Su Yu, when your dad gave this music room to your mom, was she happy? Why don't you tell me?"

Zhu Xueheng planned to post in the friends circle comments to show off and blind those single dogs' eyes.

Su Yu fell silent for a moment, then said, "Not bad!"

"No, it's already like this! So big!"

Zhu Xueheng gestured at the room, then pointed at the arranged instruments, saying, "So many, all kinds of instruments complete, and that's just 'not bad'?"

"Your mom is really hard to please! Even this hasn't made her happy?"

"Compared to that, his wife is much easier to please—give her a company and she's happy!"

Su Yu ignored Zhu Xueheng, took Liang Yan's hand and went to play with the piano.

The butler silently stood aside, moving chairs and opening the piano lid for them.

Zhu Xueheng felt depressed and dissatisfied; he decided to go find Su Xi and Shi Xu to vent! He couldn't let him be the only one shocked and speechless!

……

Downstairs, after hearing the servant's words, Liang Lijiang was somewhat surprised!

"Does Su Yu need your permission to enter your music room?"

"Mm!"

Ji Yan chose to be honest rather than stay silent. She knows her daughter's character well. If she spends more time with Liang Yan, she'll surely cause trouble. It's better to give the parents a heads-up now; if something happens later… it can't be blamed solely on their family's Su Yu!
