Xiao Ruanruan took the spare key to Su Yan's room from the housekeeper, Uncle Li. When she opened the door and went in, she saw her fourth brother sitting quietly on the floor, with his various musical instruments and sheet music next to him.
His gaze was quietly fixed on the plane trees in the courtyard outside the window. It was late autumn, and the plane tree leaves were swirling in the wind, falling one by one.
Xiao Ruanruan walked to his side, didn't say anything, and just sat there quietly.
Su Yan stretched out his long arm and scooped the soft little dumpling into his arms.
The brother and sister watched together as the sycamore leaves fell outside the window.
After sitting for an unknown amount of time, Su Yan slowly spoke, "Little Ruanruan, I really never thought of having Sister Tongjia as my sister-in-law, but to me, she is a very special person."
When I was sixteen, I was single-mindedly focused on singing, dancing, and becoming an artist. Although my parents didn't object to my dream, they insisted that I go to university. I was so stupid back then, thinking that studying was a waste of time. In a fit of anger, I ran away from home and went out to find a company on my own.
Driven by sheer enthusiasm, I was deceived and ripped off countless times.
Until I met Tong Jia, who had just joined the company as an intern agent, she pursued me and signed a contract with me.
Although in the world before you, Little Softie, that company would have ruined me badly after the Su family went bankrupt, it was a lifeline for me when I was rebellious and didn't want to go home.
Tong Jia is the same; even now that she knows her initial approach to me was part of Nightmare's plan.
Su Yan ruffled Xiao Ruanruan's soft hair as if seeking comfort, and forced a smile.
"Back then, Tong Jia was an intern manager, but she would argue with the company leaders to fight for me recording studios, opportunities to appear on shows to promote my songs, and opportunities to make albums."
As a manager, she wasn't good at either public relations or securing resources. After my first album was released, I handled all of those things myself.
But I am very grateful to her. If it weren't for her, I might not be who I am today.
For a long time before you came back, Xiao Ruanruan, she was a closer relative to me than even my own brothers like Boss Su.
After Su Yan finished speaking, he looked at the falling leaves of the plane trees outside the window with a calm yet sorrowful gaze.
Little Ruanruan looked up at her fourth brother's exquisitely shaped jawline, and her little body trembled involuntarily.
Hmm~~~ Fourth Brother's current appearance really does have that vibe of a male protagonist in a youth angst novel.
It's so sour it hurts my teeth!
Little Ruanruan climbed out of her fourth brother's arms and stood up.
Suddenly, she reached out her little hand and pinched Su Yan's nose.
Su Yan's eyes, which had just been filled with melancholy, widened instantly. He looked innocently at Xiao Ruanruan and asked in a muffled voice, "Xiao Ruanruan, what are you doing?"
Little Ruanruan frowned, bent her little waist slightly, and leaned closer to her fourth brother, saying seriously, "Fourth brother, Sister Tongjia is gone, but you still have us. Sister Tongjia is your family, and so are we!"
"Your older brothers are still dealing with the matter of you being wrongly accused of losing 10 billion in gambling. You can't just sit here doing nothing!"
As she spoke, Xiao Ruanruan released Su Yan's nose and pulled his arm, "Fourth brother, get up, come on, you can't keep being a lazy bum!"
Su Yan watched as Xiao Ruanruan strained her little legs to lift him up, her depressed mood suddenly lightening.
He pushed himself up with his hands and said, "Okay, I won't be a couch potato anymore, I'll go help Boss Su and the others."
After Su Yan finished speaking, he squatted down, looked at Xiao Ruanruan earnestly with his captivating phoenix eyes, and reached out to ruffle Xiao Ruanruan's hair. "Xiao Ruanruan, thank you!"
Little Ruan Ruan smiled sweetly, "You're welcome, we're family, we're like siblings!"
Actually, Fourth Brother, although Sister Tongjia's body can't be brought back, we can still build her a cenotaph.
After returning to China, Xiao Ruanruan learned that Tong Jia had sent an email to the China Research Institute at some point, stating that if her body could be returned to China, she would voluntarily donate it to the institute for research.
In fact, even though Sister Tongjia was adopted by Heiyan from a young age and was negatively influenced by him, she was never a bad person at heart.
"Alright, after we resolve the casino issue, I'll give Tong Jia a proper funeral and erect a cenotaph." After saying this, Su Yan turned and left home.
Little Ruan Ruan ran to the balcony and watched Su Yan's car leave the manor before plopping down on the ground. "Phew, so tired!"
At this moment, Su Lei, Su Qianqian, and Su Xiaowu poked their heads in from the doorway. Seeing Xiao Ruanruan sprawled on the balcony floor, the three of them went into the room one after another.
Su Lei pinched Xiao Ruanruan's soft little face. "Little Ruanruan, you've worked hard."
Su Xiaowu magically produced a cup of milk tea. "Little Ruanruan, here, your big brother has prepared a milk tea magic weapon for you. One sip and you'll feel incredibly refreshed!"
Xiao Ruanruan took the milk tea from Su Xiaowu's hand. It has to be said that the young man was quite considerate this time.
Although it was all because of the young man's careless words that he kidnapped her, she has now been won over by the young man's warm cup of milk tea.
Little Ruanruan leaned against the balcony railing, lounging around like a lazy bum, drinking her milk tea.
Su Xiaowu and Su Qianqian sat down on either side of Xiao Ruanruan, like two guardians.
Susie patted Xiaoruanruan's shoulder calmly, "Xiaoruanruan, having such a group of troublesome older brothers must be tiring. I understand you."
Su Xiaowu followed closely behind and quickly patted Xiao Ruanruan's other shoulder, "I understand you too."
Originally, Xiao Ruanruan didn't intend to teach the little brother a lesson, but now she couldn't stand it anymore. She rolled over and sat up like a little ball, looking at Su Xiaowu with a fierce but cute expression, and rolled her eyes. "Little brother, you're the most troublesome one!"
Even if the other brothers sometimes have bad luck and encounter trouble, it's the trouble that finds them.
Only this refreshingly unconventional young man always seems to be asking for trouble himself.
Su Xiaowu frowned, looking aggrieved, and blinked timidly. "Little sister, don't be angry. How am I not a worry? I'm much less worrying than Tyrant and Su Laosi."
Look at Su Laosi, he's never home and never seen again. Every time he shows up, he causes a lot of trouble. It's one thing for him to get himself arrested, but he also caused his sister to be kidnapped. It's simply unforgivable!
"Look at your older brother here. I go to school on time every day and come home on time after school. When I have free time, I obediently practice boxing with my coach at home. Ever since you said I couldn't always fight at school, I've rarely even asked for a fight anymore."
After Su Xiaowu finished speaking, he proudly raised his chin slightly, looking like he was the most obedient and wanted to take credit with Xiao Ruanruan.
Little Softie: ……
She almost laughed in exasperation. This carefree young man had probably already forgotten that he had told Sister Tongjia about her time travel and how she had changed the fate of the brothers.
