[OMG, I'm being blinded by the gold!]

[Did Second Brother bring the whole bank here?]

Listening to Yan Can's greedy thoughts, Su's mother and the others thought to themselves that this was nothing compared to what they had just heard.

They have a lot more to deliver.

But Yan Can only glanced at the gold bars before her gaze fell on Su Shaoze again. "Second brother, did you buy all of these?"

Su Shaoze shook his head, "The smaller portion was bought by me, and the larger portion was bought by Su Xiangxiang."

"Su Xiangxiang?"

Yan Can and the others spoke in unison.

How could Su Xiangxiang bear to give me gold bars?

[In my past life, she always said she would give me a gift, but in the end, she only gave me a necklace that someone else had given her, which she didn't like.]

[What exactly did Second Brother do to make Su Xiangxiang spend so much money?]

Su Shaoze recounted the entire process of buying the gold with a blank expression.

Finally, she said innocently, "I didn't do anything. Maybe she suddenly had a change of heart."

Yan Can: "..."

[Redefining 'doing nothing']

Su Xiangxiang probably hates her second brother to death right now.

[I need to remind my second brother to be more cautious in his actions in the future, so as not to repeat the same mistake.]

Upon hearing this, Su Shaoyang immediately said, "She had better have a change of heart. Otherwise, she'll definitely hate you for making her spend so much money. She doesn't like you to begin with, so be careful she doesn't seize any opportunity to take revenge on you."

Su Shaoze narrowed his eyes. "I'll wait for her revenge."

...

The capital city.

Yan Zhuo made three phone calls and waited for a long time before Ye Lan finally answered the phone.

Where is my sister?

No sooner had he finished speaking than Ye Lan began to curse, "You little bastard, don't you know how to greet people? You've only been to school for a couple of days and you've already forgotten your place?"

Yan Zhuo's face darkened. "I'm asking you, where's my sister?"

He had long since passed the stage of voice change; his voice was deep and mellow, and when he was angry, it was extremely imposing.

In the past, Ye Lan would have been terrified long ago.

But now, taking advantage of the fact that the emperor is far away and he can't reach Yan Zhuo even if he curses her, he simply becomes unrestrained.

"You're asking me? I'd like to ask you the same thing!"

"She left right after her exam, saying she'd come back and buy me cosmetics, but I haven't seen a single one since. Who knows if she's out fooling around with some guy..."

Before he could finish speaking, Yan Zhuo's cold voice came through the telephone line.

"Ye Lan, do you want to die?"

The sound was so powerful it could kill.

Ye Lan suddenly shivered.

Yan Zhuo: "I advise you to think carefully about what you're saying before you speak."

Ye Lan: "..."

Damn little bastard.

Even though it went to such a far place, its spirit still lingers.

Why didn't he die outside?

She had a bellyful of swear words she wanted to use, but just as they reached her lips, she recalled a night that had sent chills down her spine.

Finally, she spoke honestly.

"I don't know where she is."

"She disappeared after the college entrance examination."

Yan Zhuo kicked the concrete floor in frustration and asked her, "How many days exactly?"

Ye Lan said, "How should I know? It's been eight or nine days, if not seven or eight. Anyway, you all think you're all grown up now, going off without telling me where you're going. If you die out there, no one will even collect your corpses..."

The call ended before she could finish speaking.

Ye Lan had no idea that Yan Zhuo went to find the teacher as soon as the phone call ended.

"Performance evaluations are important, and so is my future prospects; I can achieve these through hard work."

"But I only have one older sister."

There is only one Yan Can in the world.

His face was radiant.

That was his whole world.

...

After getting off work, Su Shaozhou was the first to arrive at the hospital.

He looked at Su Shaoze, who was focused on peeling an apple, and said, "Those who have shifts tomorrow can go home."

"It's none of my business," Su Shaoyang chuckled, gloating, "Oh dear, who's going to work tomorrow? It's hard to guess, isn't it, Second Brother?"

Now that my second brother is gone, Yan Can should at least compliment his beautiful hands!

Su Shaoze: "..."

Are you ganging up on him to bully him?

He quickly peeled and chopped the apple, then handed it to Yan Can before saying, "I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I have a meeting tomorrow, which will be held here."

Su Shaozhou: "..."

Su Shaoyang: "..."

The confrontation between the three did not escape the eyes of Su's mother and Yan Can.

Su's mother shook her head, pretending she hadn't seen anything.

Yan Can, however, was secretly laughing.

[A billionaire CEO is so naive, who would believe it?]

Su Shaozhou: "..."

He is naive?

[Third Brother was really smug just now, but not as infuriating as he was on that variety show I watched this morning. In that show, he completely overshadowed a bunch of celebrities and drew a lot of hatred.]

Su Shaoyang: "..."

shock!

Yan Can actually secretly watched his variety show?!

[My second brother has such beautiful hands; no wonder he wields a scalpel, even the apples he peels taste so good.]

Su Shaozhou and Su Shaoyang: "..."

One of them is childish and the other is smug. When it comes to the second brother, he has nice hands. Yan Can, are you treating them differently?

Looking at Su Shaoze again, the corners of his mouth were already turned up so wide he couldn't suppress it.

Tsk.

This made the second brother/second elder brother feel good again.

Dissatisfied, the two pretended to unintentionally reveal their hands.

Their hands are beautiful too!

But there were no more heartfelt words in the ward, only the crunching sound of apples being eaten.

Su Shaozhou was a little annoyed. "Second brother, get out."

Su Shaoze: "..."

If you can't win physically, you start using patriarchal pressure, right?
