Father Su stood by, watching Su Ya and Su Linzhe interact with each other, feeling very gratified. This was truly a family.
At this moment, everyone had forgotten that there was still someone awkwardly standing there in the living room. They didn't know whether to stay or leave.
Su Hui felt that she was really superfluous in this family.
"Ya Ya, hurry up and go upstairs to wash up. Come down for dinner in a bit."
"Okay, Dad,"
At this moment, Su's father turned around as if he had just noticed Su Hui: "Why are you still here?"
"It's been a long time since I've seen my older brother. I'd like to talk to him."
"Your older brother just got back, and he probably hasn't eaten yet. He won't eat anything until after he finishes eating. Go upstairs and wash up, then come down for dinner."
"Okay, Dad."
Upon hearing Su Hui call him "Dad," Su's father wanted to speak, but after thinking about it, he decided it was too early and would wait until Su Ya's banquet was over.
When Su Ya went upstairs, she also went to see her mother.
Su's mother is recovering better and better, but she will wake up soon.
As Su Ya left her mother's hospital room and was about to go upstairs, she saw Su Hui standing in front of her.
He said fiercely, "Su Ya, you'll have to pay me back sooner or later what you took from me."
After saying that, he went downstairs.
Su Ya didn't feel anything after hearing Su Hui's words.
I told her to behave herself, but it seems she's not at all at ease.
I went upstairs to wash up. I changed my clothes, though I still looked pretty much the same as before.
I went downstairs for dinner. Perhaps because Su Linzhe was back, the meal was unusually lavish. However, despite the abundance, most of the dishes seemed to be Su Ya's favorites.
Su's father spoke up, "Ya Ya, the date for your banquet has been set. It will be after your final exams. Your second brother is going to be filming a movie soon, and he won't be back until then at the earliest. I think we are a family. A family should be together all the time."
"Yes, I'm coming back this time, and I'm going to leave again next February. I've already decided to transfer all my overseas assets back to China."
“I’ve told you many times before, but you always refused, saying that development is better abroad than in China. Why are you willing this time?”
Su's father joked.
Su Linzhe: "Isn't it because I want to spend more time with my sister?"
For some reason, after hearing those words, Su Ya felt a part of her heart soften.
Her older brother, whom she had only met once after being separated for more than ten years, was now willing to move his company back from overseas for her sake.
Suya knew that relocating a company involved many challenges that needed to be addressed.
Moreover, it can't be completed in just a day or two; various supporting documents are required in China alone. It takes about half a year of back-and-forth processing.
Judging from the timeline, his older brother must have had this idea when they first found her.
Father Su: "Good, good, if only your mother could wake up."
Su Qinghai thought of what the traditional Chinese medicine expert had said, then glanced at his daughter who was picking at her food, and wondered, "Could that really be my daughter?"
He quickly shook his head. It shouldn't be her. He had already consulted relevant experts. The Ling Shu (Spiritual Pivot) requires nine needles; without experience, one really can't use them properly. Even with incomplete needles, those who can use one or two are basically middle-aged people around his age. His daughter is not yet an adult; how could it be her?
Suya had no idea that one of her disguises had almost been exposed.
Because she was chatting with Momo at that moment.
Su Ya: "Mo Mo, can you come to my welcome party?"
Momo: "When?"
Su Ya: "After the final exams."
Momo: "Yes, of course I'll go."
Su Ya: "Okay, I'll arrange for someone to pick you up then."
Momo: "Mm."
Momo: "Ya Ya, I'm going to visit Grandma Yan this weekend. I heard from Grandma Yan's neighbor that she's been missing for a long time. Ya Ya, did you take Grandma Yan away?"
Suya: "Yes. She's in Kyoto."
Momo: "That's good. I thought Grandma Yan had disappeared. I was so scared."
Su Ya: "He's a good person, he's fine, don't worry, you'll see him when you come to Kyoto."
As for why Grandma Yan went to Kyoto, Momo didn't ask. She knew that her Ya Ya must have her reasons for doing this.
Momo: "I'm so happy! In just one more month, I'll be able to see you. I have so much to say to you."
Su Ya hadn't told her yet that she had already arranged for Momo to study during the summer vacation, so she decided not to discourage him for now.
At the dinner table.
Su Linzhe: "Dad, have you finished preparing the guest list for Ya Ya's welcome party?"
Father Su: "It's all settled now. So, is there someone you want to invite? Do you know anyone in China?"
Su Linzhe put down his chopsticks unhappily. "Dad, you underestimate your son. I'm a boss now. Isn't it normal for me to know a few people?"
Su Linzhe: "Okay, okay, the list is with the housekeeper. You can add people as you see fit. There's only one month left, so we need to write the invitations and send them out now."
"Then let me write the invitations," Su Linzhe suggested enthusiastically.
"You son of a bitch, forget about it," Su's father said dismissively.
"Dad, you underestimate me. I won second place in a calligraphy competition back then."
Father Su: "I don't know how blind the judges were when they scored you. Your handwriting was so illegible, I couldn't understand a single character. And they still gave you second place. You should look at your sister's handwriting. That's something."
"Dad, am I still your biological son? I see you only care about your sister now and not me. When you need me, you call me your little darling and sweetheart, but when you don't need me, you just kick me aside."
Father Su said he was unhappy, but he was secretly delighted. "You brat," he thought. "Just eat your food. You're such a chatterbox."
Su Ya sat to the side, watching with great interest as her older brother and father bickered.
This was the first time she had ever seen a father and son interact like this.
Su Ya knew her older brother had done it on purpose. Her father and grandmother had told her that because he had lost his own daughter and hadn't taken good care of their mother, causing her to run away and get into a car accident that left her in a vegetative state, coupled with the pressure from her in-laws and outsiders on the Su family, her father had been drinking heavily for a long time. His world must have been filled with darkness during that time. It was also around that time that her usually taciturn older brother suddenly changed, causing headaches for the school teachers. This resulted in their father being called to school meetings every few days.
It was around that time that my father began to recover a little. He gradually quit drinking and started to reorganize the company, which was on the verge of bankruptcy due to mismanagement, and that's how he started to get back on track.
However, since then, the father and son have been bickering all the time. Even though the older brother now runs his own company, he still habitually teases his father whenever he sees him.
Seeing her older brother, Su Ya silently said to him, "Big brother, you've worked hard."
