Chapter 95: Cried

【I'll go check it out!】

Wulongcha floated out to have a look and only came back after a while.

After Wulongcha came back, it let out a long sigh, 【Alas, Host, don't go out for now; outside, someone has set up a memorial hall.】

Su Yu closed her eyes and leaned against Xie Xin Yi's embrace, not daring to let her see her pupils shaking, her face a picture of shock.

【What happened?】

Wulongcha wriggled and landed on Su Yu's head, 【This place operates 24 hours a day; someone was maliciously targeted, worked a continuous 24-hour shift, and then died suddenly.】

Su Yu couldn't believe it. How could such a large luxury store have this kind of problem!

【Did you call the police?】

Wulongcha nodded, thinking Su Yu couldn't see now, 【We called the police; both the family and the store reported it, but that supervisor is a foreigner who fled back to his own country, and an international manhunt takes time.】

Su Yu wondered, 【If that's the case, why set up a memorial hall to cause trouble?】

Calling the police naturally means waiting for the police's follow-up arrangements; what's the point of them coming alone to cause trouble?

Wulongcha swayed slightly, 【The family doesn't want justice; they just want the store's compensation. The store supervisor maliciously targeted the staff, so compensation should come from both the store and that supervisor. But the difficulty of an international case is obvious, and the family just wants to get the money quickly.

Their demand is for the store to pay compensation directly, but the company that owns the store refuses. They insist on following procedures, clarifying responsibility first, then paying the appropriate compensation.

So, this family set up a memorial hall during the mall's busiest time and came here to cause trouble, trying to force the store to give them the money.】

Su Yu didn't know what to say for a moment. The most pitiful was the person who died suddenly from overwork.

【Please go check on my uncle!】

【Okay!】

Wulongcha floated outward, and seeing Su Yu hadn't moved for a while, Xie Xin Yi gently pulled her apart and whispered, 'Don't worry, the security here is very good.'

Su Yu opened her eyes, saw Xie Xin Yi's face full of tenderness, her hand still lightly stroking her back, and Su Yu nodded.

"Come, let's look at the pictures; you help Auntie pick which outfit looks better."

The lounge had excellent soundproofing, so Xie Xin Yi couldn't hear any outside noise. But precisely because the soundproofing was good, Xie Xin Yi worried Su Yu would overthink. She pointed to the latest magazine and asked Su Yu for her opinion.

Su Yu forced her attention onto the magazine, her gaze wandering as she began to pick at random.

Wulongcha never came back, and Su Yu's mood grew increasingly irritable.

She couldn't figure it out!

It's just some family members causing trouble; security plus police should be able to take them away for mediation. If something happens to my uncle's side, Wulongcha would also use a card. If Wulongcha uses a card, I can see the usage record here too!

No matter what, Wulongcha could not possibly not come back.

Xie Xin Yi also noticed Su Yu's agitation, she took out her phone, but Su Yu had no reaction—this was hardly normal for someone who occasionally wanted to sneakily play with her phone.

Thinking of the information, recalling Su Yu's ordeal and then her current reaction, Xie Xin Yi dared not delay and hurriedly called back.

After reporting the situation here to that side, Xie Xin Yi found Su Yu showing no reaction at all, and she grew even more anxious.

She kept checking the time on her phone, and not long after, Xie Xin Yi heard a knocking at the door.

"It's me, Su Xi!"

Xie Xin Yi hurried over to open the door. Su Xi rushed in and picked up Su Yu.

Su Yu, her mind somewhat muddled and extremely panicked, saw a familiar person and cried out "waah".

Su Yu buried her head in Su Xi's embrace and cried bitterly, while Xie Xin Yi stood awkwardly to the side, feeling a bit regretful. Her series of unsuccessful blind dates had ultimately made her anxious. If she hadn't chosen to come here, Su Yu wouldn't have been separated from her family, nor would she have encountered today's ordeal, suffering a fright for nothing.

Su Xi silently patted Su Yu's back, using a gentle tone to continually soothe her, 'Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm here!'

Su Xi couldn't figure out why Su Yu was so frightened.

Su Xi held the heart-wrenchingly crying Su Yu and went to the comprehensive area; the passing staff all wore apologetic faces. Because of their store's fault, they had made the child cry so bitterly; if Su Xi or Xie Xin Yi complained, they would certainly be forced to take responsibility.

The staff thoughtfully presented five cute, delicate mini cupcakes, hoping this little ancestor would stop crying.

Su Yu, as the staff wished, her crying gradually subsided, but not because she saw the snacks.

【Wulongcha?】

One second ago, Su Yu was still heartbroken over losing her Wulongcha system; the next second, she saw her system!

It was stuck at the toilet doorway!

Su Yu thought of how every night Wulongcha would sleep on her bed, and the two of them often swapped positions while sleeping… tiny beads of water quickly condensed into droplets in her dark, moist peach-blossom eyes, 'patter-patter' falling down.

【How could you get stuck at the toilet doorway!】

【My poor bed!】

This time Su Yu shed silent tears, but her inner voice wailed tragically!

Hearing Su Yu's inner voice, Su Xi silently decided he needed to come up with a reason to tell Su Yu that her bedsheets and duvet cover were changed every day. She hadn't noticed because the servants continued the family's habit, always using the exact same style.

But Su Xi thought for five seconds and couldn't come up with anything, so he had no choice but to blame the steward.

The steward, upon receiving this bizarre message: ……

Wulongcha, drifting this way: ……

Wulongcha forcibly halted its steps to go comfort the host, and ran back to the toilet area to remain stuck there.

Su Yu also stopped crying, because Su Xi let her listen to a phone call.

"Uncle Steward, good evening! Burp!"

Hearing Su Yu's muffled, tearful childish voice, the steward no longer thought Su Xi was looking for trouble for no reason. He thought, Su Xi can't even soothe a child—utterly useless! He had to file a complaint against the old lady!

Thinking that, he didn't delay his gentle inquiry to Su Yu: 'Miss Xiao Yu, the housemaid accidentally stained the spare set of identical bedsheets stored in the warehouse with dye; now only the set on your bed remains, and tomorrow or the day after we might not be able to replace it in time. Would you like to keep using the same style, or switch to a different one?'

【Huh? The bedsheets are changed every day?】

Su Yu said somewhat uncertainly, 'Let's switch to a different style.'

"Alright, I'll prepare the style sketches and wait for you to return home to choose."

"Thank you, Uncle Steward!"

"You're welcome!"

Su Yu gave her phone to Su Xi, Su Xi hung up, seeing Su Yu finally stop crying, she let out a sigh of relief.

Beside them, Xie Xin Yi and Ye Shu exchanged a glance, their expressions also relaxed considerably.

Su Yu gazed longingly at the little cakes, but didn't eat. She has a daily limit on how many cakes she can eat; if she exceeds it, she won't be allowed any tomorrow. Su Xi had already told her after she finished her meal that she couldn't have any more cake today.

"Xiao Yu, do you still want to buy clothes? Or shall we go somewhere else to play?"

Today's update~

Thanks, cuties, for your votes~

I had originally written a version, but after reviewing it I wasn't satisfied, so I deleted the previous four thousand words and rewrote it, making today's update relatively late.
