章 21: The Du family Banquet
編集者: Nyoi-Bo Studio
"There's no need to go through so much trouble." Su Ze put his walking stick against the corner of the table and said indifferently, "You can sit and eat too."
"Great-grandfather, Second Uncle asked me to go to the Du family for dinner today." Su Yingxue was unable to make up her mind and asked Su Ze.
Su Ze took a mouthful of crab porridge and said indifferently, "If you want to go, then go. If you don't want to go, then don't go."
Chen Hao and his daughter were a little stunned when they heard this.
Oh My God, that was Second Master Du's family banquet. How could he treated it so casually?
From the looks of it, they had still underestimated Su Ze's position in the DU family and overestimated Second Master Du's position in Su Ze's eyes.
"Then I'd better go." Su Yingxue wasn't as willful as her great-grandfather. Her parents were gone, and she knew how hard life was in the past few years. After all, this was a world that valued connections.
Although her great-grandfather was taking care of her now, if she got arrogant, she'd lose everything after her great-grandfather died.
Therefore, Su Yingxue thought she must maintain her low-key attitude towards life.
Su Ze's appearance only gave her a higher platform and better resources. It was up to her to make use of these resources as much as possible instead of offending the people who offered her these resources. Otherwise, once great-grandfather was gone, she would be punished by these people.
"Don't worry. Just take them as your family. The Du family won't do anything bad to you," Su Ze said to Su Yingxue. Obviously, she wasn't very confident of herself..
Su Yingxue nodded. "Okay."
Su Ze took out an exquisite box that looked like a ring box from his sleeve and placed it on the seat.
"It's your first time to see the Du family and you can't go there empty-handed. Our Su family is always well-mannered. Just take this thing and give it to your second uncle," Su Ze said.
Su Yingxue nodded. She picked up the box curiously and opened it.
Inside was a green pill.
Immediately, the entire room was filled with a fragrance.
"Great-grandfather, what is this?" Su Yingxue asked.
"A pill," Su Ze said. "You won't understand even if I tell you. Just give it to him."
Su Yingxue put it away.
"Great-grandfather, can I bring Mei Ling along with me?" Su Yingxue asked.
"Meiling had better not go," Chen Hao said, knowing that his daughter's position was not high enough to attend the banquet.
After all, the Chen family worked for the Du family. In the eyes of the Du family, Chen Meiling had no right to enter their house, not to mention attending their family banquet.
"You can bring anyone you want." Su Ze looked at Chen Meiling. "Girl, I'm indebted to you for taking care of Little Xue all these years. Since you and Little Xue are like sisters, I'll treat you as my family.
"If you need help in the future, you can always come to me. It's all up to you."
Chen Meiling was elated. "Thank you, Great-grandfather. I got it."
She excitedly hooked her fingers with Su Yingxue's under the table, a little touched.
Chen Hao was even more excited than his daughter.
He had never expected that his daughter would have such a powerful backer!
After breakfast, Su Ze wiped his mouth. When he stood up, Chen Hao quickly came over and pulled the chair away with both hands.
Among the staff in the headquarters, Chen Hao had been appointed by Second Master Du to be his representative, which meant that he was a very perceptive and attentive person.
"We're done eating. You guys continue."
Su Ze took his walking stick and left the dining room.
Chen Meiling hugged Su Yingxue happily.
Su Yingxue teased her, "Call me Auntie again."
Chen Meiling retorted, "Darn girl, don't even think about it. If it weren't for my dad, I wouldn't have called you that. I won't do it again."
Chen Hao glared at his daughter and warned, "Even though you have the old man at your back, you have to behave yourself. You should learn from Little Xue."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Su Ze's cool voice from his room, "Little Chen, come out and grind the inkstone for me."
"Ah, okay, Grandpa Su. I'll be right there." Hao Chen immediately put down his chopsticks and ran out.
Meiling Chen looked at her father's back and muttered, "I feel that my father is twenty years younger. He runs so fast. I think he can even participate in the Olympic Games as a long-distance runner."
Su Yingxue looked at Chen Meiling with a smile and said, "Call me Auntie and I'll bring you to the Du family tonight."
Chen Meiling immediately hugged Su Yingxue and said sweetly, "Auntie."
Su Yingxue laughed out loud. "Okay, Auntie will bring you."
After Chen Hao ran out of the dining room, Su Ze said to him with a cup of tea in his hand, "Come, help me get the brush, ink, and paper."
Chen Meiling and Su Yingxue also walked out of the dining room.
Su Yingxue said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to stream in the afternoon. I'll do the broadcast in the morning instead."
"Then I'll go out and buy some gifts." Chen Meiling had an errand to run.
Su Yingxue went to the computer table in the living room and started the live broadcast.
As soon as she turned it on, the netizens who were following her live broadcast received the notification.
Very quickly, hundreds of thousands of netizens flooded in.
"Young Master Qin, the stream has started. The goddess has started streaming."
At the same time, a rich young man shouted in a big apartment in a luxurious building.
Young Master Qin, who had dozed off, woke up and grabbed his cell phone from the bedside table. Then, he logged into the stream room. Su Yingxue's beautiful face without make-up appeared on the screen.
: Damn, host, what happened? You got offline all of a sudden yesterday. Now you can do live broadcast whenever you want? If I didn't keep my cell phone close by, I'd miss your streaming today.
: Are you here early in the morning to repent for abandoning us yesterday? Humph, I'm telling you, it's useless.
: Where's the old man? Where's my awesome Old Man?
: Get the old man out of there. You're blocking my view.
