Mr. Su's Love Investigation Report
Chapter 286 - 276: Is She Being Sensitive?

Chapter 286: Chapter 276: Is She Being Sensitive?

"Sis! I’m here! Let me help you!" Su Rongyu squeezed in front of her, carrying all her things on his shoulder.

He looked thinner.

This was her first impression when she saw Su Rongyu again.

The carefree and innocent boyish charm he once had was gone, with a layer of melancholy clouding his brow, replaced by a calmness that comes from experience.

This was her second impression.

It was evident that what forces one to grow up is not time, but experience.

Furthermore, his eyes were no longer the pure, transparent windows they once were and didn’t look directly at her as before. Dodging? Was he avoiding her? Why? Because she exposed the Su family? If so, why come to pick her up?

"Where’s your second brother?" In the past, he would have rambled on with all sorts of reasons why his second brother couldn’t come to pick her up.

Thinking of the boy who used to idle around all day, waiting for her and playing games in the car, she felt somewhat regretful to some extent...

"Oh, my brother is busy today." He led her out of the station and answered her simply.

Fine, Su Rongyu didn’t seem to want to talk, so she decided to stay silent too. After all, her relationship with the Su family was extremely awkward now. She didn’t know if Su Rongyu resented or hated her. Maybe he came today because he was forced by his brother.

Thinking of this, she suddenly realized that Su Rongyu called her "Sis" earlier. In the past, he used to call her "Second Sister-in-law" so affectionately...

Was she perhaps being too sensitive?

Su Rongyu didn’t speak to her again until he saw her home. As he helped her take things out of the car, he said, "Sis, I won’t go up with you. Can you manage the things yourself?"

"I can handle them!" She tactfully didn’t invite Su Rongyu to dinner. Not to mention whether Su Rongyu even wanted to enter her home now, it was still New Year’s Eve, and with the major events happening in the Su family, he should go home.

"Okay, then, Sis, goodbye. Oh, happy New Year." Su Rongyu said as he got back into the car, polite but lacking warmth.

"Happy New Year." She said to the closed car window, but Su Rongyu probably couldn’t hear her, right?

Su Rongyu’s car disappeared around the corner. She carried her equipment and luggage upstairs, like an ant moving house.

Shu Hui was at home and quickly came to help her unload her things when she saw her hands and shoulders full.

"Mom, wait for me a moment, okay? I’ll take a shower and change, and we’ll head out!" She felt she had to hurry up, with a 7:30 concert, needing to eat, and fearing getting stuck in traffic, worrying about not making it in time.

She rushed into her room, searching for clothes while calling Su Ronggui.

"Hello?" His gentle, deep voice came from the other end, as always.

"Why didn’t you come to pick me up?" Her soft tone carried a hint of coquettishness.

"Sorry, I’m a bit caught up here... can’t get away."

"Is it a family matter?" Or, to be precise, was it something to do with his mom?

"Yes. How are you? Was this trip tiring?"

"Not tiring!" She thought he was unavailable, and tonight’s plan to spend New Year’s Eve with him was probably off, so she asked, "Are you not coming out today?"

"Yes, otherwise, I wouldn’t have asked Rongyu to pick you up."

She understood him, but still, she softly played the coquette, "It’s New Year’s Eve this year! I bought concert tickets to go with you."

"I’m sorry! I’ll make it up to you later." He said earnestly on the other end.

She felt a bit embarrassed. There was no need for such a formal apology; she wasn’t someone who threw unreasonable tantrums. They chatted a little longer, then hung up. Immediately after, she received a red envelope from him, 5200, with a note: celebrate New Year’s Eve happily on your own, buy yourself something nice, and I’ll make it up to you with a gift later.

A New Year’s gift that can be supplemented later? But, she only thought about it that way and wouldn’t actually fuss over such things, especially at a time like this.

She went to the bathroom with her clothes, finding her mom hadn’t changed yet and quickly said, "Mom, you change first, and I’ll be ready soon; then we’ll go out!"

Shu Hui hesitated, "I’ll skip dinner and the concert. You two go on your own. I’m good at home watching TV. There’s a TV gala too."

"Mom, it’s just the two of us! Xiao Xu isn’t going! There’s a lot going on at his home now! Hurry up! You can’t stand me going alone, can you? Those artists performing for someone like me is casting pearls before swine, isn’t it?" She really chose this concert for Shu Hui. If it were up to her, she would definitely pick a movie instead. No reason, just that she grew up wild, without professional musical influence from an early age, unlike Shu Hui, who was reportedly good at dancing and playing piano in her youth. They still had a few classical music vinyl records that Dad gave Shu Hui back in the day, but with no record player now, they could only serve as memorabilia.

Shu Hui was persuaded by her.

Tu Hengsha first took her to have steak. After checking the reservation record at the front desk, they asked her, "Ms. Tu, a party of three?"

"Uh, just two now." The concert later, too, with someone absent.

"Alright, please follow me."

After being seated, Shu Hui looked around at the young couples and said softly, "It should be you and Xiao Xu here. What am I doing here with you?"

Tu Hengsha laughed, "Why can’t it be you with me? Do you really think I’m someone who constantly puts friends or rather, you, aside for romance?"

Shu Hui glared at her, "Girls really shouldn’t casually talk about things like that. It’s shameful! Besides," she added apprehensively, "isn’t eating here expensive? I mean, you and I could just have whipped up a few dishes at home without Xiao Xu and saved the money! It’s unnecessary!"

"Mom!" Tu Hengsha was not happy to hear this, "How does bringing you out count as a waste? Why should you be treated casually? Mom, to me, you’re the person worth the most care! You’re the most precious! It won’t be a waste to spend on you at the finest places or the best things!"

Her words made Shu Hui’s eyes turn misty, "Silly child! Mom couldn’t provide you with the best growing up, and now I enjoy your happiness. Now that you’re grown, I still enjoy your happiness!"

"Indeed! Mom, you have great fortune! In the future, too, you’ll have endless blessings to enjoy!" Tu Hengsha said, smiling at her mom.

The waiter brought them the menu, and as Tu Hengsha glanced up, she saw Su Rongxing walk into the private room area through the entrance hallway. To be precise, it was a male waiter leading Su Rongxing and a man inside. Su Rongxing followed, with the man in front. The waiter walked alongside the man, blocking her view of him. Before she could clearly see who it was, the three disappeared.

She could only be sure that the woman was definitely Su Rongxing, wearing a smoky pink coat. As for the man in front, he was dressed in black.
