"Yun Ting Ge, that hot pot restaurant looks good. Let's go in and take a look..."
Su Ke'er, linking arms with Wan Yun Ting, arrived on the bustling and lively street. Seeing a very popular,网红 hot pot restaurant packed with people, they finally waited for an empty seat after a long while.
Following the waiter to the second floor, they sat at a table by the window. Su Ke'er, holding the menu, asked Wan Yun Ting what he wanted to eat and quickly ordered many dishes before handing the menu back to the waiter, "Alright, that's all."
The waiter took the menu and left. Su Ke'er turned to Wan Yun Ting with a smile, her face full of joy and happiness, and asked, "Yun Ting Ge, what have you been busy with lately? Why did it take so long to return to the capital?"
Wan Yun Ting leaned back in his chair, sitting next to her. Seeing the adorable Ke'er, he smiled and said, "I wasn't busy with much, just went to Mount Emei for a stroll."
Su Ke'er pouted unhappily and said aggrievedly, "You went to play and didn't take me with you. Yun Ting Ge, you've changed."
"Sweat..."
Wan Yun Ting hugged her and quickly comforted her, "I was handling important matters. Do you really think I went to Mount Emei for tourism?"
"But you've still changed."
Su Ke'er pushed him away, her large, captivating eyes glancing at him, and she pouted, "I heard that besides Fang Yan Xi, you also brought that woman named Gu Luo Tang home to meet your parents!"
Wan Yun Ting's expression froze, and he began to feel troubled.
In fact, before coming, he had already anticipated facing Su Ke'er's questioning. But facing this girl directly, Wan Yun Ting didn't know how to explain it to her.
"Yun Ting Ge, besides me, Fang Yan Xi, and that Gu Luo Tang, how many other women have you been getting involved with behind our backs?" Su Ke'er glared, staring at Wan Yun Ting, interrogating him seriously.
Wan Yun Ting gave an awkward smile and said, "Ke'er, what are you talking about..."
"Hmph, you big flirt."
Su Ke'er crossed her arms, turned her head away, and pouted unhappily, "I knew it. You must be flirting with a lot of women outside. You don't have me in your heart at all."
Wan Yun Ting took her arm with his large hand and explained with a wry smile, "Ke'er, I really haven't been flirting with other women. Don't overthink it, okay? How could I not have you in my heart?"
Su Ke'er turned back, her large eyes fixed on him, and said, "Okay, then take me to meet your parents!"
This statement stunned Wan Yun Ting. Not to mention taking Su Ke'er to meet his parents, he hadn't even gotten past Fang Yan Xi and Gu Luo Tang yet.
Seeing the man raise his eyebrows, looking troubled, Su Ke'er's expression instantly fell. She said aggrievedly, "I knew it..."
Wan Yun Ting, who had recovered, said gently, "I didn't say I wouldn't take you to my house to meet my parents. Why are you sad?"
This remark made Su Ke'er's lost expression instantly turn joyful again. Her large, captivating eyes lit up, and she said excitedly, "You mean, you're going to take me to meet your mom and dad?"
Wan Yun Ting smiled and nodded, couldn't help but pinch Su Ke'er's soft, cute little face, and said with a smile, "But not now!"
"Ah, then when?"
Hearing his answer, Su Ke'er pouted unhappily again, her small expression extremely cute.
This made Wan Yun Ting unable to resist cupping her adorable face in his hands and rubbing it, saying with a smile, "Don't worry, I won't keep you waiting too long. Once I go back and talk to my parents, I'll take you to meet them, okay?"
What Wan Yun Ting said was true. After all, he had already brought two women home. If he brought Su Ke'er back now, his parents wouldn't know what to think of him. Therefore, he had to get his parents' approval first, and then get Fang Yan Xi and Gu Luo Tang's approval before he dared to bring Su Ke'er back.
Su Ke'er nodded and warned, "But you can't let me wait too long, okay?"
"Mhm, mhm, I won't."
Wan Yun Ting put his arm around her shoulders, pulling her into his embrace. The priority now was to appease this girl. He then changed the subject and asked, "By the way, where are you working now?"
"At the Capital Medical Institute."
Su Ke'er stood up and smiled happily at him, "I'm starting work tomorrow. But it's still a probationary period. I'll only be officially hired after three months if my performance is good."
"Then you must work hard and strive for the promotion," Wan Yun Ting lightly tapped her tender nose, smiling gently.
"Hehe, I will."
Su Ke'er hugged his arm again, resting her cheek on his arm, and said with a smile, "If I don't get promoted, Yun Ting Ge, you'll have to support me."
"Alright, why don't you quit working, and I'll support you," Wan Yun Ting said with a smile.
"No way."
Su Ke'er shook her head and said, "Fang Yan Xi and Gu Luo Tang are both excellent. I can't lose to them!"
This statement stunned Wan Yun Ting, leaving him speechless for a moment. Fortunately, at this moment, the waiter arrived with the hot pot broth and a food cart laden with various ingredients. Wan Yun Ting then smiled and said, "Okay, let's eat the hot pot first..."
"Mhm, mhm..."
Seeing the hot pot arrive, Su Ke'er also excitedly stood up and started busy, "I haven't eaten hot pot in so long. Yun Ting Ge, do you want it spicy?"
"Yes, give me some lamb first..."
Wan Yun Ting, who hadn't eaten with Ke'er for a long time, was also very happy. They ate hot pot while chatting and laughing, discussing going to the movies later. After they had eaten half of the meal, Wan Yun Ting remembered something and asked, "By the way, Ke'er, why is your eldest brother also in the capital?"
Mentioning her eldest brother, Su Ke'er replied perfunctorily, "He's worried about me, so he came to help me find a hospital. He'll be going back to Shenzhen in a couple of days."
"Oh."
Wan Yun Ting nodded, placed some cooked beef into Su Ke'er's bowl, and asked with a smile, "How is your Su family doing now?"
Su Ke'er's expression froze. She turned her head and looked at him askance, "Yun Ting Ge, why are you asking this?"
Wan Yun Ting smiled, "You're my girlfriend, can't I care about your family matters?"
Su Ke'er pouted, looking dismissive, "I've severed my father-daughter relationship with him, so Yun Ting Ge, don't worry about these things. Eat your food quickly, or it'll get cold..."
Seeing that Su Ke'er didn't want to talk about it, Wan Yun Ting smiled helplessly and stopped discussing the topic...
After they finished their hot pot and paid the bill, they continued to stroll around the mall. Wan Yun Ting bought Su Ke'er many clothes and bags. Finally, they went to the cinema to watch a movie. By eleven o'clock at night, Wan Yun Ting drove Su Ke'er back to her current residence, a small villa under her elder brother Su Xing'an's name.
Wan Yun Ting carried large shopping bags in both hands and followed Su Ke'er into the living room of the small villa. He looked around and asked with a smile, "Where's your brother?"
Su Ke'er said, "I don't know. He's probably out gallivanting with that woman again. Yun Ting Ge, come upstairs quickly, I'm on the second floor..."
Wan Yun Ting nodded and followed her up with the things. As soon as they entered Su Ke'er's boudoir, before he could put down the items, the impatient Ke'er turned around and pounced into his arms, proactively and passionately kissing him...
After a wild night, Wan Yun Ting woke up at eight o'clock the next morning. He looked at Ke'er sleeping in his arms and playfully teased her nose with his finger. Su Ke'er then opened her sleepy, captivating eyes and pouted coquettishly in her lazy, sweet voice, "Yun Ting Ge, stop it..."
"Don't sleep, get up and do your morning exercises," Wan Yun Ting's spirits rose. He flipped Ke'er over, teasing her with a mischievous grin...
"Hehe, no, Yun Ting Ge, you're so bad..."
After they did their morning exercises for a while longer, Wan Yun Ting immediately heard movement downstairs. He and Su Ke'er finished their exercises, washed up, and got ready, then went downstairs together. To their surprise, they saw Su Xing'an and a middle-aged man sitting in the living room. The man was his father, Su Wenbai!
As soon as the father and son saw Wan Yun Ting and Su Ke'er coming downstairs, they immediately stood up, their eyes fixed on Wan Yun Ting...
Su Ke'er frowned upon seeing her father, her tone deepening, "What are you doing here?"
Facing his daughter's cold attitude, Su Wenbai felt uncomfortable, his face full of guilt. He said, "Ke'er, Dad came to the capital to see how your work is going."
"Hmph, liar."
Su Ke'er glared at him with her large eyes, grabbed Wan Yun Ting's arm, and said, "Yun Ting Ge, ignore them, let's go..."
"Wait, Ke'er..."
Su Xing'an quickly went to stop Su Ke'er and then apologized to Wan Yun Ting, "I'm sorry, Mr. Wan. We came to the capital this time hoping you could save our Su family!"
Su Wenbai, standing there, lowered his head. His haggard face looked at least ten years older than when he had last seen him. The demeanor of the chairman of a top Shenzhen group was nowhere to be seen; only endless destitution remained.
"Brother, didn't I warn you not to lay hands on Yun Ting Ge?"
Su Ke'er immediately stepped forward to stop them, not wanting them to use her relationship with Wan Yun Ting to trouble the man.
"Ke'er, are you just going to stand by and watch our Su family go bankrupt?"
Su Xing'an's face was filled with pain and pleading, hoping his sister would ask Wan Yun Ting to help save their Su family.
"Ke'er..."
Wan Yun Ting held Su Ke'er's hand, looked at Su Xing'an and Su Wenbai, and recalled that last night he had specifically searched for the Su family in Shenzhen and understood their current predicament. He said, "Regarding investing in your Su family, please go find Jiang Wen Hao for this matter. He will decide how to help your Su family!"
Hearing this, Su Xing'an's expression turned excited, and he thanked Wan Yun Ting repeatedly, "Thank you, thank you, Mr. Wan..."
Su Wenbai, standing nearby, also looked up, his old eyes filled with gratitude as he looked at Wan Yun Ting.
Wan Yun Ting smiled and waved his hand, then pulled Su Ke'er along, saying, "Ke'er, I'll take you to work."
Seeing that the man had said so, Su Ke'er lowered her head and said nothing more, quietly following the man out...
"Mr. Wan, take care..."
Su Xing'an excitedly went out to see them off. Only after Wan Yun Ting drove away with Su Ke'er did he excitedly return to his father and say, "Dad, let's go find Mr. Jiang at Chaoting Group now."
"Mhm, let's go..."
Su Wenbai nodded. At this moment, he could no longer suppress the excitement in his heart. He left with his son Su Xing'an and headed straight for the Chaoting Group headquarters...
As for Wan Yun Ting, Su Wenbai's feelings were complicated.
Before, when the Gao Zhe incident had not yet occurred, Su Wenbai had been furious when he learned that his daughter in Huadu City was dating a rapist. He had sent his son Su Xing'an to Huadu City to bring Su Ke'er home.
But at the wedding in Singapore, when he learned that Gao Zhe was actually a major drug lord, Su Wenbai's heart turned cold. He knew that his grandfather had made a wrong choice. But fortunately, Wan Yun Ting appeared in time and stopped his daughter from marrying Gao Zhe.
Otherwise, their fate would have been the same as the Gao family!
From then on, Su Wenbai developed complex emotions towards Wan Yun Ting, not knowing how to express them.
Following that, the Su family was implicated, and the entire Su family enterprise plummeted. From a top Shenzhen group, it directly dropped to a third-rate group. In the entire Shenzhen business community, the Su family became a huge joke.
He had intended to form an alliance with the Gao family to add to their glory, but fate was against him. The Su family fell into such a predicament, forcing Su Wenbai to cast aside all pretense and come begging Wan Yun Ting for help...
