Time flies, always slipping away unnoticed.
Before they knew it, it was time to go to that strange poison conference with Su Yu. Since Su Yu had specifically instructed Liu Xiaoyuan not to tell Su Xue and the others about it, Liu Xiaoyuan just said that he had to go on a business trip. Su Xue, for some reason, started sticking to him like a leech and said that she wanted to go with him too.
Liu Xiaoyuan said, "Why are you going over there? Doesn't Su Yun need anyone to take care of her while she's studying?"
Upon hearing Liu Xiaoyuan's words, Su Xue immediately fell silent and could only stay obediently at home.
Liu Xiaoyuan and Su Yu agreed to meet at the entrance of a bank in town. When Liu Xiaoyuan arrived, Su Yu was already waiting there in her car.
After getting into the car, Su Yu told Liu Xiaoyuan to fasten his seatbelt, and then drove off.
On the way, neither of them spoke, but the little cat was having a great time playing in the back seat.
"Su Yu, can I ask you a question?" Liu Xiaoyuan finally broke the silence in the car.
Su Yu said, "Ask away. I will tell you the truth as much as I can."
"Why did you leave your sisters? Wouldn't it have been better to live with them?" Liu Xiaoyuan really wanted to know why Su Yu left Su Xue. Moreover, Su Yu later revealed the matter of the Blood Spirit Mushroom, which was all unbelievable.
Upon hearing Liu Xiaoyuan's question, Su Yu suddenly slammed on the brakes and brought the car to a stop, as if she had heard something that had greatly shocked her.
Su Yu suddenly braked hard while driving normally, almost causing the car behind her to rear-end her. The car immediately honked and asked what was going on ahead.
Su Yu paused for two seconds before starting the car again and driving forward.
"If you stay in one environment for too long and get tired of it, would you still like to stay there?" Su Yu asked Liu Xiaoyuan in return.
Liu Xiaoyuan knew that Su Yu's words meant that she had been staying in the cave in the mountains for too long and was tired of it, and wanted to see the outside world.
“That depends on the place. If it’s the place where I was born and raised, I definitely won’t get tired of it, because it’s the land I love and holds all my childhood memories,” Liu Xiaoyuan said.
Upon hearing this, Su Yu countered with a question: "If you lived a monotonous and tasteless life in this place where you were born and raised, guarding the Blood Spirit Mushroom that could not be turned into any profit, and leading an extremely dull and tasteless life, would you still like to stay there?"
Liu Xiaoyuan knew all of what Su Yu was saying. Before, Su Xue hadn't learned how to cook, so she ate barbecue every day. And even though it was barbecue, there wasn't a single seasoning, not even the most basic salt. Who could stand that for long? That's how Su Yun became such a little foodie.
Besides, the blood lingzhi they cultivate isn't for selling. Just guarding it is like asking you to guard a public toilet. There's no income at all. Would you still do it?
Therefore, it's understandable that Su Yu couldn't stand this kind of life and ran away from home.
After learning the reason why Su Yu ran away from home, Liu Xiaoyuan glanced at Su Yu and then asked, "After you went out, there must have been many things you couldn't adapt to. How did you gradually adapt?"
Su Yu said, "Didn't I tell you before? After I went out, I was too naive, which is why I was deceived by that bastard Qi Dongshan. During the year I was recovering from my injuries, I witnessed the ugly side of this society. I know that if I want to survive in this dazzling world, I have to let my naivety go to hell!"
Alas! Society is a big dyeing vat. The originally innocent Su Yu has been transformed into what she is now under its influence.
"So how have you been doing all these years of struggling outside?" Liu Xiaoyuan asked curiously. Su Yu was a fox spirit with no identification documents, so it shouldn't be easy for her to make a name for herself.
Su Yu said with a smile, "Over the years, I've been doing very well in the outside world. All those rich and powerful men want to get me into their beds, but none of them have that ability. They've all been manipulated by me."
Through his interactions with Su Yu, Liu Xiaoyuan discovered that Su Yu indeed had the ability and resources to manipulate successful men at will, because with her demeanor and her methods, it would be an easy task for her.
"I own houses in Beijing, Shanghai, and Shenzhen—all villas—given to me willingly by those men," Su Yu said with a smile.
Women who own houses in Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou are indeed remarkable women. But Liu Xiaoyuan wasn't surprised at all by Su Yu's situation.
Su Yu already possessed a stunningly beautiful face and a captivating figure. In addition, she knew how to act coquettishly, wink seductively, and seduce people, which further enhanced her charm.
"What do you need so many houses for? Can you even live in them all?" Liu Xiaoyuan asked with a smile, not understanding what use Su Yu, this vixen, had for so many houses.
Su Yu said with a smile, "Houses are money, they are the foundation! In this society, if you don't have money, you can't move around at all, you can't even leave your home. I want so many houses because I want to tell my sister that staying in the cave is useless. Only by going out can you show your value."
Liu Xiaoyuan didn't know what to say about Su Yu's words. He couldn't tell whether it was right to go out or to stay in the mountains like Su Xue.
Perhaps both of them chose the right path, because Su Yu succeeded. She proved that running away from home back then was the right thing to do. She lives a life of luxury that ninety percent of people envy.
But Su Xue can't be called a failure. She still lives happily and contentedly. A mobile phone can make her extremely happy, and teaching her how to cook can keep her entertained and determined to learn.
"Liu Xiaoyuan, do you also like my sister?" Su Yu suddenly asked, glancing at Liu Xiaoyuan.
Liu Xiaoyuan didn't expect Su Yu to suddenly ask this question. They were just talking about her, and now she's asking about this. Her mindset changes quite quickly.
"Why are you asking this?" Liu Xiaoyuan asked back.
Liu Xiaoyuan couldn't give a precise answer to Su Yu's question. To be honest, it would be a lie to say that any man wouldn't be attracted to a woman like Su Xue, but Liu Xiaoyuan couldn't say he truly loved Su Xue yet.
Su Yu said, "I just want to tell you that my sister is very stubborn. Once she's made up her mind about something, no matter how you try to persuade her, she won't change her mind!"
