Su Yang took Rong Xi to choose a restaurant she liked and wanted to go to, which happened to be a Chinese restaurant under their Su Group.

Maybe it was because the company executives and Su Yang had made a low-key private visit some time ago, so during this period of time all hotels and restaurants have paid special attention to the restaurant environment, the service attitude and mental state of the waiters, as well as hygiene issues.

The waiters in the restaurant all had a new understanding and knowledge of Su Yang, the new boss.

So as soon as she and Rong Xi entered the restaurant, the waiter who led the way recognized her, exchanged a glance with the other waiters, and quickly took them to the best double seat in the restaurant, and also called the manager.

The store manager was flattered by this, and fearing that she was here for a secret visit, he hurried over with the menu in his arms, nodded and greeted her, "Miss, welcome, I'm the manager of this restaurant."

Su Yang looked at the three or four waiters following her and knew that they thought she was here for a secret visit. He said calmly, "I'm just here to have a meal today. Don't be nervous."

The store manager responded with a smile and looked at the waiter behind him: "You guys go and get busy first."

"What's your signature dish?"

Upon hearing this, the store manager spread out the menu and very seriously introduced their store's signature dishes to Su Yang and Rong Xi. He described them in such vivid detail that Rong Xi was extremely envious.

The two finally chose three dishes and a soup. After dinner, Su Yang sent Rong Xi back to Rong Garden, chatted with Yun Chuxian for a while, and then went to the company.

After a small high-level meeting, it was already past three o'clock. When she came out of the meeting room, Shi Han told her that someone had come who surprised and astonished her.

Su Yang pushed open the door of the office and saw a young man in a black T-shirt sitting on the sofa. Hearing the voice, he raised his dark and shiny eyes and looked over.

"Big sister."

When Su Yang saw him, there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Su Lin.

Her half brother.

It’s been more than a year since we last met!

Last year during the Chinese New Year, because he couldn't come back for extra classes, Xu Yi, missing her son so much, went abroad on the second day of the Chinese New Year to spend the New Year with her precious son. She stayed there for nearly a month before returning.

Compared to last year before he left, he has grown much taller, his skin has become darker, and his appearance seems to have become more distinct.

Su Yang has complicated feelings towards his younger brother.

"Shouldn't you have already gone to a foreign school by now?" Su Yang suppressed the emotions in her eyes, with a calm look, and walked in on high heels. Her tone was not very up and down, but it revealed a bit of indifference and alienation.

Seeing Su Yang's expression, Su Lin's smile faded a little: "I'm leaving tomorrow, so I wanted to come see you before I leave."

"What do you want to see me for?" Su Yang asked casually, sitting in the office chair, picking up a folder beside him and flipping through it.

"I remember yesterday was your birthday. I came to look for you, but the people at the company said you were not there. I also went to the TV station, and the people at the TV station said you were out of town recording a show. I called you, but the call didn't go through."

Su Yang paused while flipping through the pages, then slowly raised his eyes: "My previous phone and card were broken, so I changed the card."

Su Lin smiled, his white teeth in sharp contrast to his healthy tan. He picked up the blue gift bag next to him and said, "Although it's a day late, these are the pictures of scenic spots and celebrities that I collected abroad. Happy birthday, big sister."

Su Yang glanced at the small bag in silence for a while, then reached out to take it: "Thank you."

"You don't have to apologize for them. This has nothing to do with you. I'm not letting bygones be bygones, nor am I trying to help them. I'm just seeking benefits for myself." Su Yang's voice was as cold as water, and his eyes were also very cold.

After a pause, she continued, "You study hard abroad. You don't need to get involved in the affairs between your mother, your second sister, and me, and I won't affect you. Although I have made it very clear to Xu Yi before, don't worry, your tuition and living expenses will not be cut off."

"How much living expenses did Xu Yi give you?"

"My mother transferred one million to my card yesterday."

"One month?"

Su Lin shook his head: "Half a year, including the rent for my single dormitory."

In fact, this one million is less than half of his previous living expenses. The rent of his single dormitory is actually quite expensive, almost a minimum of six figures for one semester.

Not to mention other expenses.

But he also knew that the family situation was not as good as before, so he didn't say much. At worst, he could just go abroad and save some money.

Su Yang frowned: "Only one million?"

According to her understanding, the tuition fee of the school where Su Lin studied was very expensive, the consumption there was also very high, and the dormitory of the apartment where Su Lin lived was also limited, so the rent was not cheap.

This one million actually includes the rent. Is Xu Yi probably crazy with poverty now and is so stingy even to his own son?

"Well, the family expenses were quite high some time ago, and my mother even fired half of the servants to reduce expenses, so one million is actually enough. If it's not enough later, we'll find another way."

Su Yang glanced at him, pursed her lips, thought for a moment, took out a card from her bag and pushed it in front of him: "Take this."

She actually didn't want to meet Su Lin, but to her surprise, he actually came to her on his own and remembered her birthday.

This suddenly reminded her of the time when he always brought her food.

After all, I just can't bear to do it. I don't want him to live too poorly abroad!

Compared to Su Mo's stubbornness and willfulness, Su Lin is actually much more sensible and well-behaved. He has empathy and is considerate.

"Sister, what are you doing..." Su Lin looked at him in confusion.

"Didn't you give me a celebrity photo? This is a return gift." Su Yang signaled with his eyes: "It's not much here, just over two million. It's my own personal assets. I'm giving you pocket money."

"Ah? How can I take your money? I..."

"Just keep it if I tell you to, but the premise is that you can't tell Xu Yi about the money I gave you." Seeing that he was still confused, she sighed silently: "Your mother has lived a good life for too long and has never experienced hard times. It's good to let her suffer a little now to temper her spirit. It can be regarded as a warning. Otherwise, she is over 50 years old and still hasn't figured out how to live. Her mind is as small as sesame seeds. In the future, find a chance to tell her that you don't have enough money and let her take care of it. She is living a tight life here, but she still has a car and a bag to find a way. What can you do abroad?"

Su Lin understood that his eldest sister was deliberately warning his mother, which meant that she had not given up on the Su family.
