Chapter 166 Repaying Kindness
Su Youling frowned. "He escaped from the country so quickly. No wonder we couldn't find him."
It's easy to imagine that the person who could help that servant escape so quickly must be quite powerful.
"Don't worry, now that we've found his trail, I'll definitely bring him back in two days at most," Li Mufeng said confidently. "I know you suspect the Lu family, but before we have witnesses, don't mess with the Lu family. They're all crazy. Especially Lu Han, who was discharged from the hospital today. He got beaten up by Li Tingxi, so he might be up to something."
Su Youling nodded. "I know what I'm doing."
The Lu family's status in B City is at its zenith, so she certainly wouldn't act rashly, but she also wouldn't let the mastermind behind it all go.
Li Mufeng said with a hint of smugness, "However, this time you owe me a big favor."
"We'll talk after we catch them." Su Youling's phone vibrated again. She looked down and saw that it was Grandpa Yin calling.
These days, the old man has been chatting with her from time to time, and his intimate attitude makes her feel strange and somewhat at a loss.
Su Youling hung up Li Mufeng's call and answered the phone with Grandpa Yin, her voice softening slightly as she said, "Grandpa Yin."
"Su girl, are you off work?" Grandpa Yin was rumored to be mysterious and unapproachable, but he always smiled at Su Youling, just like a kind grandfather in an ordinary family.
"Well, I'm going to buy some groceries and go home to have dinner with my mom." Su Youling paused, then asked, "Did Grandpa Yin call specifically to see me about something?"
"Nothing, I just missed you." Old Master Yin smiled. "Does Su want to cook? Would I have the honor of mooching a meal? I heard your mother has been recuperating in B City. I know some reclusive traditional Chinese medicine doctors who might be able to help her improve her health."
Regardless of whether it was the apology from Butler Li or the Lu family, Su Youling already owed Grandpa Yin such a huge favor, so she couldn't refuse this time. "If you don't mind... I'll come and pick you up."

"No need, you can continue selling vegetables. Just send me the address, and I'll have the driver take me there." Old Master Yin's efficiency was astonishing; you could already hear him directing people to prepare nutritional supplements over the phone.
Su Youling was both amused and exasperated. She could only send her location and then call back to tell Xiaolin that she had a guest visiting.
We're having an extra meal tonight.
Xiaolin quickly agreed. Su Hong, who was standing nearby, heard this and curiously took the phone. "Which guest is coming over? Why such a big fuss?"
"He's a...very kind old man. I saved his life at the hospital once before, and he did me a huge favor when I attended the banquet at the Yin family's house. I'm treating them to a meal to repay him." Su Youling was about to discuss with her mother what dishes to add when she heard the sound of a glass shattering on the floor over the phone. Startled, she asked, "Mom, what happened?"
Su Hong remained silent.
Xiaolin took the phone and hurriedly said, "Auntie didn't hold the cup properly and accidentally burned her hand, but it's okay, I'll put some burn ointment on it for her."
Su Hong came to her senses, offered a few words of comfort over the phone, and then quickly hung up.
"Why is this so strange?" Su Youling muttered to herself, feeling that her mother's reaction just now seemed a bit excessive.
Although she was going to treat everyone, Su Youling only bought some home-style dishes.
The Yin family is incredibly wealthy and accustomed to delicacies, so she could only prepare some simple home-cooked dishes to express her gratitude, which she believed Old Master Yin would appreciate.
Just as I was about to get home, I received a call from Grandpa Yin, saying that I was almost there.
Su Youling simply
After waiting by the roadside for a while, I picked up the old man and we walked back together.
Grandpa Yin was followed by a driver carrying large and small bags of nutritional supplements, making it look like they were moving house.
"Grandpa Yin, this is too much!" Su Youling was embarrassed and quickly refused, "I just wanted to treat you to a home-cooked meal to repay your previous help, how could I let you spend so much money?"
Grandpa Yin put on a stern face and threatened her, "You don't want the jewelry I gave you. You don't want the ceramics Shi Yan ordered for you either... How am I supposed to repay the kindness of saving my life?"
"It was just a small favor..."
"It was just a small favor for me. Besides, these aren't just for you. Your mother is a patient, isn't she?" Old Master Yin smiled as he looked around at the quiet and beautiful surroundings, perfect for retirement. "This place is really nice. I'm even thinking of building a villa to be your neighbor."
Su Youling "..."
The boss's thinking is really unconventional.
Unable to refuse their hospitality, Su Youling led the people and a large pile of nutritional supplements into the house, only to find that there was no one there.
There was still a puddle of water on the ground, and the trash can contained cleaned-up broken cups.
Su Youling immediately called Su Hong and learned that she had gone to the hospital.
"Why did you suddenly go to the hospital? Were you seriously injured? What did the doctor say?" Su Youling put down the groceries and was about to leave.
Su Hong quickly stopped her, saying, "It's nothing. I didn't get burned. My eyes feel dry and blurry, sometimes clear and sometimes blurry. I was worried that they hadn't fully recovered, so I asked Xiao Lin to come with me to see a doctor for a checkup."
She paused for a moment, then tentatively asked, "Guest, have we arrived?"
"Yes, Grandpa Yin came with me. He originally wanted to have a meal with Xiaolin."

"It's just a common dish." Su Youling was worried about her mother's eyes, but she couldn't leave Grandpa Yin alone, so she was caught in a dilemma.
Su Hong quickly reassured her, "I'm fine. It's just that the examination is a bit complicated. Xiao Lin can accompany me. You don't need to come over. Stay home and keep the guests company."
Su Youling had no choice but to agree.
"Is your mother alright?" Old Master Yin frowned and asked with concern, "Should I call the hospital for help?"
"No need, it's just a routine check-up." Su Youling quickly waved her hand and said apologetically, "But my cooking skills aren't as good as a professional chef's, so let's go out to eat instead."
"It's alright, I just wanted to try your cooking. I'll help you prepare the vegetables." Old Master Yin was a man of action. He actually carried a bag of vegetables into the kitchen, acting as if he were at home, completely unlike a pampered and mysterious tycoon.
Su Youling became even more curious about him and quickly followed him inside. Seeing him skillfully washing and tidying up the vegetables, she couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "You... can cook?"
"I can't cook, but I can help out." Old Master Yin seemed lost in some kind of memory. "When I was young, there was a silly girl who loved to cook. She was very good at it, and she would spend every day in the kitchen researching all sorts of delicious food for me. At that time, I had a sensitive stomach, so she found a lot of nutritious recipes and tried different ways to stew soups, cook porridge, and make stomach-soothing meals for me..."
As he recalled it, a warm and beautiful smile appeared on his face.
The seventy-year-old man had gray hair, cloudy eyes, and the deep marks of time on his face.
But at this moment, when he mentioned that silly girl, the radiance on his face was like that of a young man in love, instantly rejuvenated.
For some reason, Su Youling was almost certain that the girl Old Master Yin was talking about was not one of his wives.
