MSRBMH Ch 53
While eating at the table, Butler Li stood to the side, staring intently in one direction.
Su Yu reluctantly stuffed a small steamed bun into his bowl and took a sip of his milk.
Sitting opposite him, Ji Yanli reached out with his chopsticks and placed a translucent shrimp dumpling in his bowl, thoughtfully dipping it in vinegar.
Butler Li's gaze intensified.
One in front of him, one beside him—even Iron Man would be stared through the cracks.
"Can you two stop looking at me?"
Butler Li scoffed. "Being watched by our young master is a blessing for you, Young Master Su."
His view of his young master was like that of parents asking their child if they could be a child model.
Su Yu took a bite of the shrimp dumpling, frowning. "This vinegar is so sour."
Before he could finish speaking, a pair of chopsticks reached over and snatched the half-eaten dumpling away.
The dumpling was already in the thin lips opposite him; Su Yu didn't even have time to stop him.
"...Are you a dog, always picking up other people's leftovers?"
Before Ji Yanli could speak, Butler Li stepped forward, furious. "Young Master Su, don't insult our young master! How could you say such things about us..."
A glare from Butler Li silenced the middle-aged man in the suit, who stammered, "Young Master..."
Ji Yanli withdrew his gaze, swallowed the shrimp dumpling in his mouth, and placed another piece of food on Su Yanli's plate.
"Alright, eat it yourself."
He was treated like a useless piece of trash, needing someone to serve him food.
"Wife...are you still angry? I don't expect you to take responsibility, just stay by my side, okay?"
The cold words were unbearable for the man.
He wanted to be close to his wife.
Before Su Yu could speak, Butler Li's eyes widened, his finger trembling as he pointed at him. "You...you actually want to take advantage of our young master for free!"
"What did I take advantage of?"
"I saw it this morning! You and our young master in bed...!"
Butler Li became more and more agitated, spitting as he spoke, and Su Yu slightly backed away.
"You're only being so casual with our young master because he's lost his memory. Let's see if you regret it once he regains his memory."
The middle-aged man became increasingly agitated, his voice almost breaking with emotion, while Ji Yanli simply sat opposite him, staring at the plate in front of him with his eyelashes lowered.
He looked like a submissive wife, and Butler Li like a mother-in-law.
Su Yu was startled by his own imagination: "Alright, alright, Butler Li, you're really getting carried away with your acting."
A whole family of drama queens.
He stood up and pulled the middle-aged man aside.
"Butler Li, aren't you getting a little too into it? Didn't you tell me to stay away from Ji Yanli? Why are you making me take responsibility? You know he's mentally unstable right now. You're misleading him."
Su Yu lowered his voice, afraid the people behind him would hear.
Butler Li was silent for a moment. Su Yu thought he agreed with what he said and was about to continue persuading him: "If you ask me, you should show him all the things I did to him before, maybe he'll suddenly recover..."
"You're trying to fool this old man."
Butler Li interrupted him, grabbing his wrist and rolling up his sleeve to reveal a string of beads hanging from his wrist.
Seeing this on someone's wrist, Butler Li was heartbroken: "Look at you, you're wearing our young master's token of love, worth four million! The young master gave it to you without batting an eye, isn't this a betrothal gift!"
"..."
Can this betrothal gift be returned?
[Butler Li, are you desperate to get married or not?]
[Actually, he just wants President Ji to be the top.]
[Butler Li: Four million! This is a wife the young master married for four million!]
[That's a bit low. If they really get married, President Ji should transfer his assets.]
What top? He, Su Yu, is the top.
Su Yu rolled up his sleeves and turned around to see the man sitting at the dining table with a gloomy expression, looking extremely displeased.
"Ji Yanli, I've finished breakfast, I'm leaving."
If he continued to argue with these two, it would never end.
Butler Li seemed about to stop him, but Ji Yanli stopped him with a cold voice: "Butler Li, I need to talk to you about something."
Ji Yanli's expression was particularly intimidating, and the butler immediately stopped, only able to meekly agree.
Walking out of the Ji family's front door, Su Yu was still wearing slightly oversized clothes from Ji Yanli's wardrobe.
His own clothes were left in the bathroom.
It should be fine, he could just get them next time.
He hailed a taxi, and his phone, silent all night, immediately received dozens of messages as soon as it connected to the internet.
They were all from his brothers' group chat.
[Chen Le: @Su Yu, good brother, Yanzi said you had a romantic encounter last night?]
[Chen Le: Didn't you say you wouldn't use a substitute? What, you've changed your mind?] [
Lin Yanjun: Have you gotten rid of your virginity yet? @Su Yu]
[Chen Le: I love your direct question! I knew one of the waiters looked just like Song Yanchu!]
Su Yu stared at his phone screen, his thoughts drifting back to last night.
He didn't actually remember what happened last night, but the waiter did indeed resemble Song Yanchu somewhat.
Yet, he felt no ripples in his heart. He vaguely remembered how he got to Ji Yanli's place yesterday.
He had asked the waiter himself.
Let alone these two in the group, he was now even a little confused about what he wanted to do.
[Su Yu: Stop being silly, Yanzi, you'll see tonight. You actually abandoned me and ran away last night.]
Lin Yanjun quickly replied in the group.
[Lin Yanjun: ? Injustice! You were the one who told me to leave last night! Don't tell me you were drunk and don't remember.]
Su Yu certainly remembered; he just wanted to quickly brush off the topic.
The taxi stopped at an intersection.
The driver turned around and smiled at him, "Young man, we can't drive any further in. You'll have to walk a bit yourself."
This was an upscale residential area, where land was incredibly valuable.
Although the Su family wasn't as wealthy as the Ji family, they weren't too demanding about their quality of life.
Su Yu paid the fare and got out of the car, walking a short distance to a gate.
It was early morning, and servants were busy cleaning and watering the plants. A rocking chair sat by the door, and a straw sun hat sat on a table next to it.
Su Yu's eyes widened, and he hesitated, his steps faltering.
The servants quickly noticed the person outside, and one of them ran to open the door.
"Young Master Su?"
The girl who opened the door looked very young, probably a newcomer.
Only newcomers would call him that; everyone else usually called him Su Yu.
The Su family only had one young master.
"Yes, I came back for something."
The girl quickly opened the door, and the older servants who rushed over saw his face, their smiles stiffening slightly.
Su Yu pretended not to notice, and simply stepped into this place that didn't seem very welcoming to him.
