"I've had people keeping an eye on the trending topics, and they're reporting to me immediately if it's related to you."
Si Tingyu first explained, then half-jokingly said, "So Wanwan, you don't need to worry that I'm too idle to support you."
Shu Mowan huffed arrogantly, "Brother Si, I have money, I don't need you to support me."
"So, would you be willing to give me this opportunity to have dinner?"
Si Tingyu asked again.
Shu Mowan was both amused and exasperated. "Brother Si, didn't I promise to celebrate your birthday with you? Can't we save this meal for that day?"
"A birthday is a birthday, and treating someone to a meal is treating someone to a meal."
Si Tingyu said, "If you agree, I'll have one more chance to spend time with you."
As a businessman, he naturally had to seize the opportunity that was right in front of him.
Shu Mowan had no choice but to agree.
The two chatted for a few more minutes, and just before hanging up, Si Tingyu called out to her, "Wanwan, your new work is themed around romance. Can I, being narcissistic, assume that you have romantic feelings for me?"
Even just a little bit would be fine.
Shu Mowan raised an eyebrow, keeping him in suspense: "What do you think?"
After saying that, she hung up the phone.
Si Tingyu, on the other side, was in an unusually good mood, even though he hadn't received a definite answer.
He opened Du Zhurun's WeChat and looked down carefully at the guide to a romantic birthday surprise that Du had sent him.
If he prepares well, he might be able to win over some more beauties.
Two days later, Shu Mowan called Xiao Jiyu to ask how his investigation was going.
Once we get the evidence, we can use it to shut up Fu Rong, who's been making a scene and threatening suicide, after Shu Xueyin is sentenced.
She used her status as an elderly mother to threaten her father with his life.
"Little Wanwan, we've found some clues, but your good grandma is very careful, so it's quite difficult to investigate. It may take some more time."
Xiao Jiyu said, "It should be possible, right?"
“It is possible, but I don’t want to drag out the verdict on Shu Xueyin for too long.”
Shu Mowan offered a tactful reminder.
Xiao Jiyu understood. "Xiao Wanwan, I'll have everyone stop what they're doing and focus on investigating your grandmother's matter."
Shu Mowan had no objection.
"I'll transfer 200 million to your account later as a reward for everyone's hard work recently. If it's not enough, just let me know."
She is very generous to those around her.
"Little Wanwan, wasn't it only given to you recently?"
"A separate fee will be provided for your hard work; you cannot refuse."
"……All right."
Xiao Jiyu hesitated for a few seconds before accepting.
Shu Mowan was generous, so they naturally worked even harder.
"Little Wanwan, since you suspect that Shu Xueyin is your grandmother's biological granddaughter, why don't you also investigate your disappearance back then?"
Xiao Jiyu said, "I suspect she might have set a trap to get you thrown out in order to make room for Shu Xueyin."
Shu Mowan pondered for a moment and then agreed to let him investigate.
She also wanted to see if Fu Rong was so ruthless that she wouldn't even spare a child.
"Jiyu, investigate her relationship with Shu Xueyin first."
Shu Mowan reminded her, "You can take your time to investigate my disappearance."
"good."
Xiao Jiyu agreed and then hung up the phone.
Shu Mowan put her phone away and went to attend to other things.
Of course she knew that if she took Fu Rong, Shu Xueyin and Shu Chuxiao's hair for DNA testing, everything would be clear. But without supporting evidence, Fu Rong could deny everything, and her family still couldn't do anything about it.
If she makes a scene outside, the Yu Shu family's reputation will be damaged.
Therefore, the only way to silence Fu Rong is to find all the evidence so that she can't make a scene.
Si Tingyu appeared at the Shu family home dressed casually with his hair down. Shu Lingyin, who had taken two days off and returned home last night, came downstairs and saw him enter with a noticeably refreshed look. She immediately went on guard.
"Tingyu, what are you trying to do by dressing up like this?"
Shu Lingyin said deliberately.
Si Tingyu glanced down at himself, then looked up and said, "Ling Yin, I thought you would say I've gotten younger."
He followed Du Zhurun's advice and deliberately dressed younger to shorten the age difference between himself and Shu Mowan.
Shu Lingyin was stubborn and refused to admit Si Tingyu's words.
"You're almost thirty, how can you still look young?"
"After today, it will only be twenty-eight."
Si Tingyu corrected.
"Yes, he's twenty-eight. He's more than seven years older than my sister. If we consider the generation gap of three years, he's practically old."
Shu Lingyin deliberately showed her disdain.
"..."
Si Tingyu remained silent for a moment.
Being seven years older is an age difference he can't change, and he feels quite helpless about it.
"Where's Wanwan? Is she still upstairs?"
Si Tingyu changed the subject.
Shu Lingyin's gaze instantly turned into sharp arrows as she swept towards him. "Why are you asking about my sister? Don't try to use her birthday as an excuse to go out with her. If you've thought about it, we brothers will celebrate with you."
Si Tingyu really wanted to tell him that he had told the truth, but considering that Shu Mowan was going out with him later, he decided not to provoke him.
"Second Brother."
Speak of the devil, and he shall appear.
Shu Lingyin turned his head and saw Shu Mowan dressed up specially. His pupils widened slightly, and he asked nervously, "Little sister, why are you dressed up so nicely? Are you going out?"
She even braided her hair like others and tied it with pink ribbons, making her look even more youthful and beautiful. He suddenly felt like an old father worried that his daughter might be kidnapped.
"Um."
Shu Mowan nodded: "I promised Brother Si that I would celebrate his birthday with him."
Shu Lingyin glared at Si Tingyu, feeling like she wanted to kill him.
"Tingyu, my sister is still so young, do you really want to pluck this tender flower?"
