"President Su."
"The bracelet you asked me to photograph has been bought by a mysterious buyer."
Su Qing's phone call came at a rather unfortunate time.
Without Yan Can's "inner thoughts," Su Shaozhou wouldn't have doubted that there was anything wrong with Su Qing's story.
After all, Su Qing was quite capable and had a steady personality. He could always complete the tasks assigned to him ahead of schedule and give people unexpected surprises.
But now, he has to raise questions.
How much are you offering?
One million.
Where is the other party?
"One million...and one dollar."
Why not follow?
This bracelet was a gift he wanted to give to Yan Can, and he had instructed Su Qing beforehand to make sure he got it.
But Su Qing said he had made a mistake.
Su Qing later provided an explanation.
His offer of one million was two hundred thousand more than the mysterious buyer's previous bid. He thought the other party wouldn't follow through, and coupled with some health issues, he went to the restroom.
Unexpectedly, when he returned, he was told that the other party had suddenly raised the price.
Su Qing apologized, but Su Shaozhou's face darkened.
Is this your reason?
Such a flawed excuse was actually uttered by Assistant Su, who was described by others as shrewd and cunning.
It's absolutely ridiculous.
Su Qing offered no further explanation, only saying, "I'm sorry, President Su, I've let you down."
Disappointment is more than just a feeling!
Su Shaozhou felt like killing someone.
From the moment he heard his inner voice, he kept reminding himself that while the inner voice could predict the future, he could not blindly believe what it said. He needed to use his own eyes and heart to make judgments and choices about everyone and everything.
But the reality is that people's hearts are fickle and unpredictable.
Some people can't escape the so-called plot.
"President Su, I found out there's another bracelet at the auction three days from now..."
"No need, let's stop here."
Su Shaozhou hung up the phone.
Seeing his unpleasant expression, Su Shaoyang said, "Brother, it's not worth getting angry over someone like that."
Yan Can also said, "Knowing how much effort my brother has put into me, I am already very happy. Brother, please don't be angry about this."
[If my brother knew what Su Qing did later, he'd be furious.]
[When I was kicked out of the Su family, my eldest brother asked him to arrange everything for me, but he outwardly complied while secretly telling Su Xiangxiang that my eldest brother had bought a house in my name.]
[Su Xiangxiang's jealousy and hatred towards me will cause the world's consciousness to cast misfortune upon me.]
[Little did my brother know, under the manipulation of the plot, all their kindness towards me would ultimately turn into the kind of evil that Su Xiangxiang would gladly accept.]
Su Shaozhou and Su Shaoyang's hearts sank.
Fortunately, they had thought they hadn't been completely controlled and had at least done something for Yan Can, but they didn't expect it to backfire.
How can I convince my brother to change his assistant?
[This Su Qing later leaked company secrets to the Chu Group, which belonged to Su Xiangxiang's official love interest, Chu Xun, and even forged her elder brother's signature to frame him...]
Yan Can pretended to be distressed.
Su Shaoyang immediately said, "If he can't even handle such a small matter, I think we should replace him."
Su Shaozhou: "I will consider it."
Yan Can's furrowed brows instantly relaxed.
[Third Brother is so smart!]
[Every time I want to say something, Third Brother says it for me; he's practically the best mouth double!]
Su Shaoyang looked at Su Shaozhou smugly.
Can Can praised him again.
Su Shaozhou was preoccupied with Su Qing's affairs and didn't hold it against him.
Just then, Yan Can's stomach suddenly growled.
Gu~
Su Shaozhou: "..."
Su Shaoyang: "..."
What is the housekeeper doing? Dinner is still not ready after all this time!
Su Shaoze called at that moment.
He was concise and to the point.
"Wang Ma's sprained ankle was not an accident."
“Su Xiangxiang’s mischief has resulted in an injury to a worker, and we are currently taking him to the hospital.”
Dinner will be here shortly.
The housekeeper arrived in less than five minutes.
Su Shaozhou and Su Shaoze took care of Yan Can's meal, while he stood aside reporting on his work.
Because of Su Shaozhou's previous instructions, the housekeeper didn't elaborate on Su Xiangxiang's and the Su family's true attitude towards her, only mentioning what Su Xiangxiang did to obstruct the renovation of the small building.
After the butler left, Su Shaoyang couldn't help but curse, "He's a complete menace."
Yan Can nodded silently.
[It turns out my older brother renovated my little house again.]
Su Shaozhou paused.
Did he do it in his past life?
[In my past life, my older brother also had the small building renovated, but not to rebuild it for me. Rather, he was worried that I would feel uncomfortable at home, so he specially gave me a private space where I could be alone but would never leave their sight.]
My older brother never told me about this.
Su Shaoyang thought to himself, this is indeed his elder brother's style of doing things.
How did Yan Can know that?
[It was Su Xiangxiang who was jealous that my older brother treated me too well, and couldn't stand everyone's attention shifting from her to me, so she specifically told me about this.]
[Three days later, the building caught fire.]
Fire?
What about Yan Can?
Su Shaozhou and Su Shaoyang looked up at the same time, glancing at Yan Can, who seemed to be engrossed in eating.
Although I didn't burn to death, my lungs were filled with thick smoke, and my arms were badly burned. I was hospitalized for several days.
[Subsequent investigation revealed that the fire was caused by improper use of electrical appliances.]
[Su Xiangxiang immediately jumped out to criticize me, saying I lacked safety awareness. Luckily, it was only a small building that burned down; it would have been a real problem if the fire had spread to the neighboring villas or burned down other people's homes.]
[But I only occasionally read in there during the day without turning on the lights, and I didn't sleep in there at night. I never used any electrical appliances.]
What caused the fire?
Su Shaoyang looked at Su Shaozhou.
The elder brother's face was somber, revealing nothing of his thoughts, yet his fingers felt somewhat cold.
What else could be the reason?
It's simply that the world's consciousness couldn't stand seeing Su Xiangxiang, the protagonist, being wronged, so it did what she wanted to do for her.
So this is what they call the plot.
"Brothers, why aren't you eating?"
As soon as Yan Can looked up, Su Shaozhou placed a piece of pork rib into her bowl.
"Eat more and try Old Wang's cooking."
Yan Can: "Mmm, delicious."
[A housekeeper, Old Wang; a cook, Aunt Wang; and a driver, Young Wang.]
Do your parents and brothers have a particular fondness for the surname 'Wang'?
"..."
The two brothers fell silent.
I hadn't noticed before, but they actually have three "kings" in their family?
Dinner ended a little over ten minutes later.
Su Shaoyang went to throw out the trash, and Su Shaozhou went out to answer the phone. Just as Yan Can was idly flirting with 377, a figure quietly arrived.
Are you feeling any better?
A familiar voice came from the doorway.
Yan Can raised her eyes and saw Xi Bai standing at the door looking at her.
Gazing at the perfectly clear outline, Yan Can asked softly, "Mr. Xi, are you here to see my elder brother?"
Xi Bai shook his head.
"no."
"I came to see you."
