Chapter 8 : Unexpected Encounter with a Cute Child

• Li Shengjue was never well-received in the Su family. No one welcomed him, so he stood in the living room, making the spacious room feel cramped. When Su Yi walked by, she suddenly didn't know where to stand.
• "Are you looking for me?"
• "No. I'm looking for Song Xin. Someone said Song Xin is here, so I came to take a look!"
• Su Yi frowned. What strange logic was this? If he was looking for Song Xin, why didn't he go to his house?
• "Since Song Xin isn't here, then I have no reason to stay here. Goodbye!"
• Li Shengjue hurriedly left the Su family after only two minutes.
• Su Yi watched his inexplicable departure, feeling puzzled.
• Su Qishan walked out of the study and warned Su Yi, "Stay away from Li Shengjue. He's not a good person!"
• "I already said it before, my affairs are none of your business!"
• "You..." Su Qishan almost had a heart attack and kept rubbing his chest.
• Su Yi went back to her room. Grandfather Su had a poor appetite now and didn't feel like eating. He only took a few bites of his meal before giving up.
• "Grandfather, rest well. Next time I come, I'll bring you some special medicine." Although the medicine couldn't cure his grandfather's illness, it could make him more comfortable during his last days.
• Grandfather Su held Su Yi's hand, tears shimmering in his eyes, and said reluctantly, "Take care of yourself outside, don't cause trouble. If there's a good man who likes you, settle down and get married soon!"
• Su Yi smiled and squeezed her grandfather's hand, not saying anything more.
• The Su family lived in a quiet villa area amidst the bustling city. As soon as they left the villa area, they would be on a wide road. Su Yi stood by the roadside, waiting for a taxi, and suddenly noticed a black Mercedes parked across the street. The license plate number seemed familiar.
• As she tried to recall where she had seen that car before, it slowly started and drove away.
• "Boss Gu, should I go ask Song Xin?" Li Shengjue's assistant, Qiao Sen, suggested.
• Li Shengjue sat in the back seat of the car, watching the red figure of Su Yi getting further away.
• "No need. She's not that foolish!"
• ...
• Su Yi didn't expect Su Qingqing, who always cared about her image, to return to the film crew and play a supporting role that she looked down upon.
• After observing for a while, Su Yi realized that Su Qingqing's interest was not in alcohol but in Gu Chenxi.
• This confused Su Yi. Wasn't Su Qingqing dating a rich second-generation from the city? Did they break up? Did she develop feelings for Gu Chenxi?
• But it seemed like Gu Chenxi didn't have the same feelings for Su Qingqing. No matter how much she pursued him, he remained unmoved.
• It was almost time for lunch, and Su Yi had just finished shooting the last scene of the morning. She was starving and hurriedly headed towards the place where the boxed meals were distributed.
• When she arrived, it was crowded with people. She estimated that by the time it was her turn, the food would be cold.
• As she was thinking about how to quickly get her boxed meal, her phone suddenly rang.
• "Come to your three o'clock direction. I'll treat you to a meal!"
• Su Yi looked towards her left front and saw Cen Nian standing about two hundred meters away, leaning against a new sports car, looking cool.
• Su Yi waved at her and walked over quickly.
• Cen Nian had originally planned to take Su Yi to a fancy restaurant, but Su Yi was too hungry and couldn't wait that long. Besides, she still had scenes to shoot and couldn't leave the set for too long.
• In the end, they went to a small restaurant near the film crew.
• Watching Su Yi devour the beef noodles, Cen Nian couldn't help but tease, "You, with so much money, can't you treat yourself better? You're so hungry. Couldn't you order takeout or add a meal?"
• Su Yi stuffed a big mouthful of noodles into her mouth and mumbled, "Your treat is delicious because I don't have to pay!"
• "Tsk, stingy. You don't support a family or raise children. I really don't know what you do with all that money!"
• "Saving it for retirement."
• "Tsk, you never speak the truth!"
• After finishing their meal, Cen Nian paid the bill, and the two were thinking about where to sit for a while when a two-year-old girl suddenly ran over and hugged Su Yi's leg. "Auntie, Auntie..."
• Su Yi????
• Cen Nian asked, "Whose child is this?"
• Su Yi shook her head. "I don't know."
• Cen Nian leaned closer to Su Yi and whispered, "Look at how well-dressed this child is. How about we do something special and kidnap her, then ask her parents for ransom?"
• Su Yi rolled her eyes. "If you dare to do such a thing, I'll be the first to report you!"
• "Just kidding. Look how nervous you got. Come on, let Uncle hold the child..."
• "No, I want Auntie to hold me!"
• The little girl opened her chubby arms and blinked her big eyes at Su Yi. Su Yi crouched down and asked softly, "Where are your parents? Do you know their phone number?"
• "Why do all the children like you and not me? Is it because I'm ugly and not worthy of being liked?" Cen Nian complained unhappily.
• Su Yi glared at him. "Don't speak, you might scare the child!"
• Cen Nian said, "Am I so terrifying that even speaking can scare people?"
• As they bantered back and forth, Gu Chenxi rushed in anxiously from outside and pulled the little girl away. "Ah, Nono, why did you run here? I was so worried!"
• The little girl pointed at Su Yi and said in a sweet voice, "Here, there's Auntie!"
