After her identity was stolen, she lived in the short-lived villain's phone.

Chapter 424 Sorry I'm late
Liang Mingshu said to Su Zhengye, "I never would have guessed that your second brother would have such a violent temper."

Although Liang Mingshu disliked Su Huan at all, when she heard about domestic violence, she despised the abuser no matter who was being beaten.

Su Zhengye frowned; he too hadn't expected Su Xinrong to lay a hand on his wife and daughter.

However, in Su Zhengye's heart, his own little family was more important.

Su Zhengye said, "Mom will handle their affairs. Don't let them affect our mood."

“That’s right.” Su Chengyan, who was sitting upright and tall, nodded upon hearing this: “Today is a good day for Yu Yu to recognize her ancestors and return to her family. Everyone should be happy.”

"Yes, yes, yes. Eat up! They'll be here soon!" Su Muyang said cheerfully.

He had barely finished speaking when he heard voices coming from outside.

Some family relatives who lived nearby had already come in from outside.

Everyone wore smiles and offered their congratulations to Su Zhengye's family on this joyous occasion.

Upon seeing this, Su Zhengye and Liang Mingshu quickly got up from the table and invited everyone to have breakfast together.

Su Chengyan, Su Muyang, and Chi Yu, the three siblings, also stood up and greeted them politely.

Upon seeing this, the two cooks immediately brought out a lot of hot food from the kitchen.

One by one, a lot of people arrived, some to help and others to watch the excitement.

Some people had eaten breakfast, while others hadn't.

Su Zhengye invited everyone to sit down and have morning tea, or perhaps some melon seeds, fruit, or snacks.

By the time breakfast was finished, quite a few people had already arrived in the villa's lobby, creating a lively scene.

Chi Yu was already familiar with some of these relatives, while others were still unfamiliar to him.

Fortunately, Su Chengyan and Su Muyang were always by her side, so Chi Yu only needed to follow them to call for help.

The local residents of Suxi are divided into three major surnames, among which the Su surname has the largest number of people.

When tracing the stream, everyone with the surname Su is from the same family.

Besides tracing the stream, many branches of the clan have settled in other provinces and cities. Upon hearing the joyous news that the Su family had found their daughter, many people rushed back from other places.

Even branches of the Su clan from other places sent representatives to offer their blessings.

In addition, some of Su Zhengye's friends and business partners also came from all over the country to personally offer their blessings to Su Zhengye.

As dawn broke, cars of all kinds began to gather from all directions towards the stream. By the time the sun was high in the sky, the open space next to the Su family villa was already full of vehicles. More and more clansmen came to offer their congratulations and visit, and the scene gradually became lively.

Chi Yu didn't really understand the complicated procedures for worshipping ancestors. Even though Su Zhengye and the elders in the clan had explained a lot to her in the past two days, Chi Yu only remembered a vague outline.

However, Su Zhengye told her not to worry, because he would always be with Chi Yu. In addition to Su Zhengye, the elders of the Su clan would also always be by Chi Yu's side to guide her actions.

At the pre-arranged time, Chi Yu was surrounded by everyone as she set off from her home toward the ancestral hall.

Behind her, a long queue formed, creating a magnificent scene.

Many media reporters received advance notice and, with the consent of the Su family, carried cameras to record the entire journey. Several drones even followed them in the air.

Apart from Su Chao, Su Xinrong, Qin Yuqin, and Su Huan were not present.

After discovering this, many of Su's relatives were gossiping behind his back about why Su Xinrong and his wife had disappeared. It wasn't until someone in the know revealed what had happened the night before that everyone scoffed and thought that Su Xinrong, his wife, and Su Huan had lost their minds.

"Isn't Su Huan an adult? It's a good thing Chi Yu didn't hold it against her, otherwise, she could have been reported to the police."

"Su Huan is hopeless. She's stupid and selfish, and she's so jealous of her own cousin."

"Su Xinrong actually beat those two women into the hospital? Tsk,"

“Su Xinrong is confused. Today is such an important day for Su Zhengye and Chi Yu, and his own second brother and uncle are not even here. Even if Su Zhengye has not developed a rift with him because of what Su Huan did last night, after today, I'm afraid the brotherly bond between Su Zhengye and him will be almost gone.”

"I guess they're afraid of losing face?"

"Does that mean it's not shameful for him not to come?"

"..." But at this moment, Su Zhengye didn't care anymore.

Su Zhengye immediately donated 50 million yuan to the Su family for the renovation of the Su family ancestral tombs and ancestral halls, as well as a charitable support fund for some impoverished Su family members.

Those present exclaimed that Su Zhengye was very generous. Of course, many people also saw from today's grand arrangements how much Su Zhengye loved and valued this lost daughter.

As people looked at the girl surrounded by the crowd, with her graceful figure, fair complexion, and clear eyes, some other thoughts couldn't help but arise in their minds.

The Su family of Shuoxi has over a thousand households. Su Zhengye booked more than a hundred tables in advance at the most prestigious five-star hotel in the area to entertain today's guests.

Amidst the congratulations, one of the business partners looked at Chi Yu, who stood beside Su Zhengye and possessed outstanding temperament and appearance, and jokingly said, "Brother Su, I took a liking to Yu Yu the moment I saw her. Does Yu Yu have a boyfriend this year? My son is the same age as Yu Yu. I wonder if there's any chance for them to become friends."

While it's called making friends, it's actually a different kind of blind date.

Su's father's expression darkened.

He only found out last night that Chi Yu had secretly gotten out of being single, and he hadn't fully accepted it yet, and now he was hearing these kinds of comments.

He hasn't even had enough time to raise his daughter yet!

However, before he could answer, other voices rang out from the side:
"Oh dear! Mr. Wang, you've already said what I was thinking, hahaha! I was just wondering if I'd have the honor of becoming in-laws with Mr. Su... My second son just graduated from the Armed Police Academy this year, he's quite good-looking, and he's the same age as Yu Yu..."

"Hehe, what a coincidence, I also have a son like that... But unlike Mr. Liu's son who graduated from the Armed Police, my son is currently pursuing his bachelor's and master's degrees at Tsinghua and Peking University..."

"Mr. Su, my nephew is also very good. He's studying law at Harvard abroad, hasn't had a girlfriend yet, and is very ambitious and steady! Young people should add more people on WeChat and make more friends; that way, they'll find someone they like, right?"

"That's good, that's good. Even if we're not meant to be, we can still be friends."

"So, my cousin is the same age as Yu Yu..."

Seeing that more and more people were recommending 'new friends' to her, Chi Yu quickly smiled and said, "Thank you, uncles and aunts, but I already have a boyfriend."

As she spoke, she raised her hand, revealing a glittering gold ring on her wrist.

Everyone sighed with regret when they saw the ring on Chi Yu's slender finger.

But some people are unwilling to give up, secretly muttering, "It's okay, it's just a boyfriend, we're not married yet..." Hmm, there's still a chance!

The other elders of the Su family were also shocked to learn that Chi Yu had found a boyfriend.

"Yu Yu, when did you get a boyfriend?"

"What kind of person is he? What is his family background like? You are still young, so you must keep your eyes open when choosing a partner."

"By the way, why didn't he come with you back to the source this time?"

Although everyone asked this question on the surface, they actually thought that Chi Yu's boyfriend was probably someone she was dating before she returned to the Su family.

Sigh, it must be because of a poor family background.

The parents of the Su family also failed to offer any advice or guidance to their child.

Young people today don't understand; they think that love is enough, but they only realize the importance of matching social status and family background after marriage.

“He’s a good guy. We’ve only been dating for a short time, but we have a deep bond. He’s very busy with work; he’s in the early stages of his career and can’t get away,” Chi Yu said.

When she said that, the elders around her looked at her with even more affection.

This silly child, how could there be any deep feelings between them in such a short time?

Moreover, if you've only just started working, doesn't that mean you don't even have the ability to support your family?

However, everyone kept these thoughts to themselves and didn't say them aloud.

Today is, after all, a joyous day for Chi Yu to be recognized by her ancestors, and there are so many people in the banquet hall. Even if they want to show their concern for Chi Yu, they should consider the occasion.

They exchanged glances and instantly understood each other's meaning.

After the banquet, they will give Chi Yu a good talking-to!
Su Zhengye and Liang Mingshu also need to speak.

How could you be such a parent? Your child has only been found for a short time, and you've already been fooled by that bastard!
Just as the group was exchanging glances, a tall and slender figure appeared from behind, striding up to Chi Yu and speaking in a deep, clear voice: "Yu Yu, I'm sorry I'm late."
