Only after the figure disappeared from sight did Su Jinhao realize that his blood-related sister seemed to be quite different from what he had imagined.
"Where are they? They probably went to Pin Yue Ju to take a look."
Inside Pin Yue Ju, the atmosphere remained one of peace and prosperity.
"Colorful! Colorful! Colorful!"
"Good, he deserves a reward!"
The dancers on the dance floor were graceful and charming, drawing cheers from Shen Zhao and Liang Hao.
After downing a glass of wine, Shen Zhao suddenly asked, "Liang Hao, do you know why I asked you to take over this restaurant so ostentatiously?"
Liang Hao nodded directly: "I've roughly guessed what my elder brother is thinking. He doesn't want to have direct contact with the Su family, for fear of disturbing his sworn sister's peace."
If she's doing well at the Su family's house, then we'll leave quietly without disturbing her. But if she's not doing well, given the commotion in the city...
They'll probably come looking for us anyway, which avoids unnecessary awkwardness and saves face for both of us—a win-win situation.
Shen Zhao nodded in satisfaction: "Your analysis is very accurate. Come on, let's drink."
"Dry!"
The two raised their glasses and drank them down in one gulp.
Setting down his wine cup, Shen Zhao suddenly turned to Liang Hao and said, "I say, you're the Holy Son of the Heavenly Evolution Holy Land, don't you have a Daoist partner by your side to show off?"
"Don't mention it, brother. My standards are too high for me to accept anything less, so please don't belittle me."
“I think the female disciple from Chunyang Palace who fought so fiercely with you at the Heavenly Annihilation Holy Land last time is quite a good match for you, so why don’t you…”
"Brother, don't scare me. Even if I, Liang Hao, die, even if I jump off this cliff, I will never have a single thought about this kind of female dog."
"A female dog watch? Ha..."
Shen Zhao smiled and shook his head, giving Liang Hao a meaningful look before taking another sip of wine.
Just then, an extremely excited voice rang out from the doorway.
"Boss!"
The next moment, a petite figure rushed into Shen Zhao's arms without hesitation, clinging tightly to him.
Along with this came soft sobs.
Shen Zhao was stunned for a moment, then planned to gently push her away.
Unexpectedly, he couldn't push her away. Su Yunying's arms were tightly wrapped around his waist, almost as if she were hanging on him.
"Boss, could you please stop leaving without a word next time? At least say goodbye!"
Shen Zhao sighed and then said in a gentle voice, "Alright, let go of my hand. I promise you. You're breaking my back."
Su Yunying then reluctantly let go of her arms.
Looking up, the sight of the beautiful woman shedding tears evokes boundless tenderness.
Shen Zhao shook his head helplessly, then asked, "How have you been these past few months?"
Su Yunying shook her head: "No, how can I live well without the boss by my side?"
Upon hearing this, Liang Hao objected: "Little sister, aren't you being too dishonest? How have I ever treated you badly?"
"Look at this Pin Yue Ju restaurant, I took it over and changed your surname to it. Now you're the owner."
Upon hearing this, Su Yunying wiped away her tears and made a face at Liang Hao: "I know, of course my sworn brother is good to me."
"That's more like it. By the way, how have you been living with the Su family? Have they treated you well?"
Hearing Liang Hao's question, Su Yunying replied nonchalantly, "They're just a group of strangers who have no connection whatsoever except for blood ties."
Shen Zhao frowned: "What? Are they treating you badly?"
Su Yunying picked up a plate of fruit pastries from in front of Shen Zhao, took a bite, and said vaguely, "Don't even mention it. If it weren't for the fact that there's a treasure that can track the boss's whereabouts, I wouldn't be able to stay in the Su family for even a day."
Liang Hao sensed the dissatisfaction with the Su family in Su Yunying's tone and couldn't help but say, "Really? You're their long-lost daughter, after all."
"We've finally reunited, shouldn't we be enjoying some quality time together? Why should I mistreat you?"
Su Yunying shook her head: "I don't know either. In short, I don't even have the right to call them 'father' and 'mother' in the Su family. Anyway, I don't have that feeling that blood relatives should have."
I didn't feel any of that at all; it truly felt like an eternity. Now that the eldest brother is back, there's no need for me to go back to the Su family.
Liang Hao frowned: "That's strange. If they dislike you so much, why did they bring you back?"
Shen Zhao waved his hand: "Forget it. Since the Su family doesn't like you, there's no need to give them a warm welcome. No matter who they are, they are people close to me, Shen Zhao."
"You absolutely cannot suffer any injustice. Come back to Qingyang City with me. We need to rest for a while, refine some elixirs, and properly improve your cultivation."
"Okay, I'll do as the boss says, I'm not going back."
Upon seeing Shen Zhao again, Su Yunying was overjoyed, and naturally, she no longer wished to return to the Su family.
But just then, Su Jinhao suddenly shouted, "What did you say? You're not going back?! Su Yunying, do you know what you're saying?!"
Su Jinhao, who had just arrived, overheard what Su Yunying said and became furious.
Upon seeing the newcomer, Liang Hao immediately stood up: "What? You think you haven't been beaten badly enough? Want to get another beating? How many storage bags do you have on you right now?"
Upon seeing Liang Hao, Su Jinhao involuntarily shrank back, then whispered, "I'm here to see my sister, not you."
"Sister? Where the hell did you get a sister?" Liang Hao pointed at Su Jinhao. "Stop spouting nonsense. If you don't explain yourself clearly today, you're in for a beating."
Upon hearing this, Su Jinhao looked to Su Yunying for help.
Su Yunying glanced at Su Jinhao, then said to Liang Hao, "Brother, don't take him seriously. He's the eldest son of the Su family."
