We agreed it was just a hug, why did you actually do it?

"I'm perfectly clear-headed. I know you're jealous of me. I work at such a great company and have such great opportunities. You're just jealous of me."

"Besides being good-looking, what else do you have? Your grades were terrible in school, and now you're just a spoiled brat living off your rich dad. What gives you the right to judge me like that?"

"Su Yicheng, I think you've worn your brain out from studying so much. With my family's meager wealth, I'm really not qualified to be a playboy. But you, there's really nothing for me to be jealous of."

I'm too lazy to talk to you right now. You're taking me and my aunt and uncle to find your awesome boss. Let's go!

Su Yicheng was uncooperative at first, but Su Weile was getting really impatient and said fiercely, "Let's go, or I'll beat you up here until you leave."

Su Yicheng reluctantly led everyone into the company. Cheng Ling was still saying to Su Yicheng, "Son, your father and I have agreed that as long as they meet with your boss and reach an agreement, we'll give you the money as soon as we get home."

As soon as the group stepped out of the elevator, they saw that the people at their workstations were not in their places, but were all gathered around the door of the manager's office.

Su Weile sensed something was wrong and immediately went over. She saw several men in suits searching inside. Su Weile asked one of them, "Excuse me, what's going on? Where's Manager Ma?"

"Hey, don't even mention it. Manager Ma ran away. Apparently, he absconded with company funds. The head office's disciplinary inspection department is here now, and they say the police are coming soon. It's terrifying. I saw Manager Ma just yesterday."

Su Weile felt a sense of relief. She turned to look at her uncle, who had the same expression, her aunt, who was stunned, and Su Yicheng, whose face was ashen. She said softly, "Now the truth is out. Let's go back."

He walked over to Su Yicheng and said, "You should focus on your work and stop thinking about unrealistic things. We're leaving now."

On the way back, Cheng Ling stared out the window without saying a word. Halfway there, she suddenly burst into tears, which startled Su Weile.

Su Hui glanced at the heartbroken Cheng Ling, sighed, and gently patted her shoulder, saying, "Don't cry. Isn't this a good thing? We discovered it in time."

Mercedes-Benz returned to its uncle's house along the same route, accompanied by loud and clear cries. Along the way, Su Weile felt as if she had gone deaf.

Su Weile felt it wouldn't be appropriate to bother her uncle's house any longer, so she sent them back and said goodbye to her uncle.

Su Hui was extremely unwilling for Su Weile to leave, but he also knew that given the current situation, he couldn't properly talk to Su Weile.

Su Weile repeatedly assured that she would visit her uncle again in a couple of days, once things had calmed down.

As Su Weile hurried back, she glanced at the time. It wasn't even two o'clock yet, and she felt a surge of joy, thinking that Tang Shaowu would be happy this time since she was going back so early.

As the car entered Linglong Garden, Su Weile, wanting to surprise Tang Shaowu, parked the car on the other side of the pond and walked to the main house on foot.

Uncle Xu was standing at the door when he saw Su Weile. He was visibly startled for a moment, then smiled with relief.

Su Weile smiled and made a shushing gesture, then gently pushed open the living room door.

He knew that Tang Shaowu was probably working in his study at this time. Passing by the dining room, Su Weile glanced at it and found that lunch had not yet been cleared away.

Out of curiosity, I went over to take a look and found out why it hadn't been cleaned up: the lunch hadn't been touched at all!

Su Weile felt a surge of anger rising within him again; he finally understood why Uncle Xu had that relieved smile.

He stormed into the study and found that Tang Shaowu was not working. He was sitting in a chair in the study, and music was playing in the room. But the music sounded depressing no matter how he listened to it. Su Weile frowned and walked over to see if Tang Shaowu was asleep.

As she approached, Su Weile froze when she saw Tang Shaowu's expression. What kind of expression was it? Indifference? Ruthlessness? Despair or utter recklessness?

In short, it's an expression that inspires fear.

Tang Shaowu was visibly taken aback when he saw Su Weile, but then a smile slowly crept onto his face, making Su Weile wonder if what she had just seen was an effect of the music.

Su Weile walked over and stopped the music.

He turned around, frowned, and said, "What kind of taste do you have? What kind of nonsense are you listening to!"

Tang Shaowu smiled at Su Weile, "Why are you being so well-behaved today?"

Su Weile knew Tang Shaowu was referring to his early return. Su Weile walked over, placed her hand on Tang Shaowu's forehead, and massaged it, saying, "Why were you being so naughty today? Didn't you eat lunch?"

Tang Shaowu completely relaxed, leaned his head back against Su Weile, closed his eyes, and said, "I don't want to eat."

"I forgot what the doctor said: regular diet and regular sleep."

Su Weile said helplessly, "What's wrong with you? Take good care of yourself. Let's have something to eat together, okay?"

"Okay, sure."

Su Weile didn't call the housekeeper over. Since there was a microwave, Su Weile heated up all the dishes and then started eating with Tang Shaowu.

During the meal, Su Weile recounted what had happened at her uncle's house.

Tang Shaowu listened quietly, and although he didn't say much, Su Weile could tell that he was in a good mood.

Su Weile ate a piece of Sichuan-style chicken. This dish doesn't get cold easily and still tastes great, so he put a piece on Tang Shaowu's plate.

"Tell me, isn't my brother a bit dim-witted? He actually believed this clumsy scam so easily. Is it blind worship of his boss? Or is it overconfidence?"

Tang Shaowu smiled but didn't comment much. In his eyes, this was just a joke told by Su Weile, and he was too lazy to bother to figure out the psychological activities of the people in the joke.

Su Weile bit her chopsticks, frowned and sighed, "Sigh, even my usually shrewd aunt fell for it. She's always been the one scheming against others, isn't she? I never expected this."

Tang Shaowu gently patted Su Weile's hand, telling him not to bite the chopsticks, and then said calmly...

"She blindly trusted her son."

Su Weile nodded and said, "Yes, definitely. In short, I hope this matter is over and Uncle can live a more peaceful life."

Su Weile was really hungry today, so she ate a bowl of rice and drank all the soup.

After a satisfying meal, I patted my belly and thought, "Oh dear, eating so well every day, won't I gain weight?"

Tang Shaowu looked at Su Weile and said with a gentle smile, "No, you're a little too thin right now."

Su Weile leaned back in her chair, her head tilted in a relaxed posture. She thought to herself, strangely: Tang Shaowu seems perfectly fine right now, perfectly normal, and in a good mood. Was it just her imagination earlier? That dark, sickly person...

Tang Shaowu looked up at Su Weile, his gaze calm yet sharp, and his smile became the same as when he first met Su Weile.

Tang Shaowu spoke softly, "What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"
