MSRBMH Ch 60
" ? "
"The Song family?"
Lin Yanjun didn't quite catch up with his erratic train of thought for a moment.
Shen Le slammed his hand on the table again: "It's that Song family! Su-ge's darling white moonlight!"
The two slams knocked the cold plum and pineapple salad off his chopsticks into his bowl, and Su Yu's face began to darken slightly.
"I said, Shen Le, are you a human? You have to slam the table to speak."
Shen Le chuckled and put his hand on Su Yu's shoulder: "No, isn't it more atmospheric to say it like that? I've seen crosstalk performances like that."
Too lazy to argue, Su Yu finally put a piece of pineapple in his mouth and chewed it slowly. Something
happened to the Song family, what happened?
Could it be Song Yanchu's health...?
Su Yu hadn't seen him for a long time, and for some reason, he hadn't thought of him even once during this period.
Seeing that the two didn't react, Shen Le pouted, "Hey, give me some reaction, okay? Don't you like Song Yanchu? Why aren't you reacting?"
Lin Yanjun chimed in, "I've heard a bit recently. The Song family's company has run into some problems, and it seems his father got into some trouble."
"I heard he might be locked up. Song Yanchu's health isn't good, and he's a walking pharmacy that costs money to keep him afloat. If something really happens to his father, it'll be hard to say."
Su Yu put down his chopsticks and picked up his cup.
He had never met Song Yanchu's father. He only knew that the Song family had a small company, and that his father had built it from scratch.
That was all he knew.
Su Yu said calmly, "Let's not discuss things that aren't even confirmed." There was plenty of gossip, and they quickly moved on from this matter. Shen Le
was usually the one who kept the conversation flowing at the dinner party.
He quickly found a new topic.
It was still about Su Yu.
"Brother Su, everyone's been saying lately that you and Ji Yanli are getting close. What's going on? Didn't you two always fight when you were together?"
[They did fight, and it was fierce.]
[I saw it with my own eyes, I was under their bed.]
[Don't say anything, I just came from my husband's place. President Ji is still waiting for you at the hospital, honey. Don't go home too late.]
[Song Yanchu, don't come out and cause trouble! Put him back!]
Su Yu almost spat out his orange juice, coughing twice from the choking: "Who told you that?"
Shen Le's eyebrows danced: "It was those young masters, saying they saw you two coming and going together. Oh, they were just saying in our group chat that they saw you and Ji Yanli go to the hospital, saying one of you is pregnant."
"..."
Su Yu gritted his teeth: "Do you think either of us has that ability?"
Lin Yanjun struggled to suppress the urge to smile.
"I don't know, that's just what they're saying."
Saying! "If those gossipy blabbermouths keep spreading this for a few more days, his son will be born out of nowhere!
" Su Yu rubbed his forehead, his sleeve slipping slightly, revealing a few wooden beads: "He fainted, I just took him to the hospital."
It's no wonder others overthink things; Su Yu and Ji Yanli are practically always at each other's throats, avoiding each other whenever possible.
Like the opposite poles of a magnet, if they're attracted to each other, they'll bounce off to the other side of the earth.
Shen Le's eyes held a deeper meaning: "Hmm... Brother Su, you've been acting really strange lately. I feel like you're spoiling Ji Yanli too much, you wouldn't be..."
"Eat!"
Before he could finish the sentence, Su Yu slammed his hand on the table, interrupting the rebellious remark.
Shen Le was startled.
He muttered under his breath, "You told me not to slam my hand on the table, but you slam yours yourself..."
The meal lasted until almost ten o'clock at night.
Looking at his phone, Shen Le was in a hurry to go back and report, while Lin Yanjun and Su Yu strolled leisurely behind.
Shen Le hurriedly walked out of the gate, where a car was already parked. He turned back and waved to the two of them, "My dad sent someone to pick me up, I'm leaving now!"
The two nodded in unison, watching his hurried figure disappear from sight.
The summer night breeze was cool, relieving some of the fatigue.
Su Yu unconsciously relaxed his shoulders and stretched to ease his back, which had been aching from sitting for so long lately.
"Yanzi, how are you getting home?"
Lin Yanjun glanced at the time, then turned and suggested, "I'm driving, can I give you a ride?"
He needed to go back to the hospital; the doctor said someone needed to watch over him at night.
Su Yu could only shake his head and refuse, "No need, I'll take a taxi myself, we're not going that way."
He lowered his hand, and the string of beads swayed past Lin Yanjun's eyes again.
For some reason, neither of them moved.
After what seemed like an eternity, Lin Yanjun's throat was parched before he finally uttered his first words: "Brother Su, can I ask you something?"
"What?"
Seeing the man's serious tone, Su Yu glanced at him again, though it was too dark to see clearly, he could only sense the man's gaze upon him.
"Brother Su, that bracelet you're wearing, is it the one that cost four million at the auction?"
His voice grew hoarse towards the end; he didn't want to guess in that direction, but the bracelet was too eye-catching, constantly flashing before his eyes.
Its owner, on
the other hand, acted as if nothing was amiss. Su Yu paused, his eyes sweeping over the gleaming object, and immediately tugged at his sleeve to cover it.
The atmosphere fell into another awkward silence.
Lin Yanjun was smarter than Shen Le; he knew this couldn't be faked.
"Yes."
"Brother Su, is there really something between you and Ji Yanli?"
Lin Yanjun's tone was quick.
Su Yu quickly denied it, almost as if he hadn't thought about it: "No!"
After saying that, his tone softened slightly, as if he were talking to himself.
"How could this be..."
Lin Yanjun rarely interfered with Su Yu's affairs, always supporting him in whatever he did, but even now, facing this moment, he was somewhat broken.
It's just that the person was Ji Yanli... Who would wear something so valuable given to them all the time?
"Brother Su, Ji Yanli... he's not one of us."
Su Yu looked at the cars flowing by the roadside, the streetlights casting long shadows in the moonlight, the shadows seeming to come from the moonlight itself, or perhaps from the streetlights.
He moved his lips, chuckled softly, wanting to say something, then chuckled again.
The words circled back and forth in his mouth countless times.
"Yanzi, do you think I don't know about this? Do you really think I'm stupid?"
Ji Yanli's family, and indeed the entire Ji family, were far superior to some nobody's son from who-knows-where.
Moreover, his family's old fogies were still eyeing them covetously.
Su Yu patted the arm of the person beside him, his eyes fixed straight ahead.
"Don't worry, there's nothing between us, right now... at most, we're just ordinary friends."
Lin Yanjun smirked, not pointing out the loopholes in his words.
He was just offering a reminder.
"Alright, it's too late, let's go."
"Yanzi."
"Hmm?" Su Yu's voice drifted
in the evening breeze: "Don't tell Chen Le about what happened today."
"I know, I'm not stupid."
