"Le Le, it's really not what your brother Nan said. Xiao Wan is just my sister." Ling Haochen saw that there was no exclamation mark next to the message, so he called Su Le directly.
Su Le answered the call but didn't say anything.
Ling Haochen said cautiously: "Le Le, please listen to my explanation."
Su Le still didn't reply, so Ling Haochen hurriedly explained, "Xiao Wan has had heart problems since she was a child. Medical care is more advanced abroad, so I sent her there. You have to believe me. I have never done anything to let you down since you were a child. It's not as the rumors say. She is only my sister in name only. How could I do anything inappropriate to my sister?"
Su Le said coldly: "I remember you have a research institute that I need to borrow for... ten years." Su Le thought that she should be able to complete the project in ten years, and all the rewards given by the previous system were still in her mind, except that the space was gone.
Ling Haochen refused without a second thought, "No, Lele, Xiaowan's heart urgently needs an artificial heart, and all the current research is centered around this." Then, realizing his attitude was too harsh, he softened. "When everything is ready, I'll lend it to you. Not to mention ten, twenty, or even thirty years. Okay?"
Su Le sneered and hung up the phone. "Never mind," she thought. "Building one myself, starting from scratch, might be a little difficult, but what's there to be afraid of?" She had so many assets, so what if she invested them all in this project?
In the evening, when Su Le was having dinner with his three brothers, he solemnly proposed this suggestion: "Brother Xiao, Brother Bei, Brother Nan, I want to set up a research institute."
Chen Xiao always responded to Su Le's requests and said without hesitation, "Okay, I'll take care of the personnel issues. I'll make the arrangements."
"I just bought a piece of land here. I was planning to develop real estate, but now I'll give it to you to use as a research institute." Qin Bei said to Su Le with a doting look on his face.
Yu Nan looked at Su Le with deep eyes, which seemed to be able to see through everything. Su Le was a little afraid to look into his eyes for a moment.
Su Le returned to her room, and soon after, the door rang. She opened it and saw Yu Nan. She stepped aside to let him in. She had already guessed that Yu Nan would come to ask what was going on. It had been like this since childhood: the most unpredictable of the three brothers, but also the one with whom she had the closest relationship.
"Why?" Yu Nan asked straight to the point.
Su Le pursed his lips and didn't answer immediately. The two of them just looked at each other silently.
Finally, Su Le gave in and said slowly: "I want to study something, it's quite confidential. So..."
"Is it very important?" Yu Nan asked.
"Yes, it's very important." Su Le's eyes flashed, as if he had seen success and seemed to be able to go back to the past.
Yu Nan looked at her expectant expression. For some reason, he had a feeling that she was about to do something earth-shattering, and that he might never see her again. He didn't say anything more, but stood up and left in silence.
Su Le looked at his back and sighed helplessly. There was still a difference between Yu Nan and Sunan, probably because Sunan was a soldier and lacked some of the deep scheming.
On the day of the fashion show, Su Le wore a uniquely tailored black evening gown. Its flowing lines clung to her body, showcasing her elegant figure. The hem of the dress was inlaid with tiny crystals, which sparkled like stars under the light.
Her makeup was exquisite and elegant, with light eyeshadow highlighting her deep eyes, and a touch of bright red lips adding a touch of nobility and coolness. When she walked into the show, everyone's attention was attracted by her. She was like a shining star, exuding an irresistible charm.
On the catwalk, models wore a variety of styles, some gorgeous, some simple, and some avant-garde, each outfit telling a unique story. Su Le sat in the front row, intently admiring every detail, her eyes revealing her keen insight and deep love for fashion.
This fashion show will be the last one Su Le will participate in. After attending the fashion show here, Su Le's research institute will start construction in full swing.
That day, Su Le video-called Chen Yao as usual. By then, all the personnel had been secured, the institute was under construction, and everything was progressing steadily. Su Le then shared his detailed plan with Chen Yao and Su Fugui, who were both thrilled.
"Le Le, just go for it. We absolutely believe in you and we have been waiting for you." Su Fugui said to Su Le firmly.
Su Le explained his thoughts to the two of them one by one: "If I succeed, then this body here may be useless. Otherwise, two identical people appearing together will easily arouse suspicion. I will need your cooperation to get rid of this body as soon as possible so that I can show up."
"Okay, let's think of a solution, or just cremate it." Chen Yao suggested.
"No, cremation requires a death certificate, and it won't be useful even if Lele comes." Su Fugui refused immediately.
Su Le shook his head helplessly. "There's still time. Don't rush. Take your time to think about it. I estimate it will take at least two years to complete the construction of the research institute, and we also need to purchase some advanced equipment and other things. It will take at least ten years to actually conduct research. You guys have to take care of yourselves and wait for me to successfully get there."
"I see. You over there..." Su Fugui didn't finish his words.
A clear and tender voice suddenly interrupted their conversation: "Mom, is that you? Grandpa, are you talking to Mom?"
Two eager little figures ran over. Li Xueyao didn't notice Su Fugui's hastily hidden phone, but when Li Chuyang ran over, he saw the familiar face on the phone screen that he would never forget. He looked at Su Fugui with a firm gaze, and Li Zichen, who was following behind him, also stared at the couple.
Su Fugui suddenly felt his scalp tingling. "What...what's wrong? Yangyang."
Li Chuyang asked in a certain tone: "Is it my mother? Where is she?"
Li Xueyao looked at Li Chuyang curiously. Li Zichen walked up to them and held out his hand, "Dad. Give it to me."
Su Fugui, hearing Li Zichen's unyielding tone, had no choice but to take out his phone and hand it to him. The video had been cut off, leaving only the chat page visible. It was still lingering on Su Le's last words, "I have good news for you," and "Video call for 5 minutes." However, the note on the top read, "My precious daughter Lele."
Li Zichen looked at the phone, which was completely different from the one they were familiar with, and asked, "Is it Lele!" Although he was asking, his tone was very certain.
