Chapter 206 Family
The building blocks in Xiang Jiayu's hand fell to the ground with a "thud".
Su Qingjiang turned his head abruptly, his Adam's apple bobbing slightly, his eyebrows furrowing. He lowered his voice, speaking with a hint of reprimand.
"Rui Rui, what nonsense are you talking about? You can't say things like that, you know?"
Su Yuanrui was not frightened at all; instead, he sat up straight.
Then he started counting on his fingers, his tone full of childish negligence and utter unguardedness.
"Last time we ate at the hotel, my aunt handed Uncle Chen a tissue and even wiped his hands for him."
"After Uncle Chen finished peeling the shrimp, he gave the first bite to Auntie, and then to me and Sister Youyou."
"And when they talk, they don't look at their phones or anyone else, they just look at each other. And Auntie is especially happy when she talks to Uncle Chen."
At this point, Su Yuanrui looked at Xiang Jiayu, who was standing to the side.
"Mom, didn't you say that's how a family is? You look after each other and share your good food with each other, just like Aunt and Uncle Chen are?"
How innocent and naive a child's words can be!
Without the calculations and pretenses of the adult world, there are only the most direct observations and the simplest logic of children.
Xiang Jiayu gasped and instinctively covered her mouth.
"This...this, this..."
Xiang Jiayu's voice. Her face turned pale, and she turned to look at her husband.
"Qingjiang, this..."
Su Qingjiang remained silent for a full half minute.
When he first heard these words, he thought the child was just talking nonsense, but then he thought that if there were no real clues, such a young child could not make up such a coherent lie.
"It seems this is indeed true..."
Xiang Jiayu grabbed Su Qingjiang's hand: "Qingxue wouldn't really be involved with that Chen Yuan, would she? What if the family finds out?"
Su Qingjiang remained very calm and, after analyzing the current situation, spoke softly.
"Don't be too nervous. Rui Rui is still a child. How can you take a child's words seriously? Maybe the two of them just get along well and the child thinks they're dating."
Hearing Su Qingjiang say this, Xiang Jiayu relaxed a little, but she understood her son's personality better than her husband, so she thought for a moment before speaking softly.
"You should really pay attention to this. If you don't know what's going on, investigate Chen Yuan and see what's really going on. If they really are... we need to think of a solution first."
"Otherwise, what about Qingxue's parents... Oh dear, I shouldn't be saying this as a daughter-in-law, but you know what I mean."
Su Qingjiang put down the bowl in his hand and gently patted his wife's shoulder.
"Don't worry, I understand. I'll have someone look into it and see what's going on. Don't worry too much."
Seeing that the adults didn't speak, Su Yuanrui lowered his head and continued assembling his boat, muttering to himself.
"Hmph, once the boat is built, I'll sail it to pick up Sister Youyou and Uncle Chen for a visit..."
Silent all night.
the next day.
5:30 p.m.
An old bread truck was parked steadily in front of a restaurant.
Looking at Su Qingxue, who was as beautiful as a lotus emerging from the water, Chen Yuan suddenly felt that he disliked his bread cart more and more.
If it weren't for opening a new restaurant, the first thing he would have done would definitely have been to replace this car.
Su Qingxue had no idea what the other person was thinking; she was only filled with the joy of the date.
This restaurant is nicely decorated.
The storefront is a combination of black steel and raw wood, giving it a low-key and understated look.
Pushing open the door, the jazz music sounded very elegant.
At the same time, the air was filled with the subtle aroma of black truffles, the freshness of citrus, and the faint smoky scent of charcoal-grilled meat.
Su Qingxue sat down and touched the thick linen tablecloth with her fingertips. She was clearly very satisfied with the environment, and her eyes crinkled with laughter.
"Senior, you've chosen a really great spot. The decor is beautiful too. When did your taste become so good?"
Chen Yuan smiled and handed over the menu: "I'm with you every day, so it's hard for me to have bad taste. Order whatever you want, it's on me."
Su Qingxue didn't refuse and deftly checked off several signature dishes on the menu.
This is a fusion restaurant with very innovative dishes.
"I ordered a Wagyu beef, matsutake mushroom risotto, sea urchin and yam, and a pot of white tea. What would you like to eat, senior brother?"
"Just this much?" Chen Yuan took the menu and selected a few more hearty dishes: "I've been incredibly busy lately, I really can't keep up without some big, meaty dishes."
The waiter brought out the white tea first, and Chen Yuan immediately poured her a cup.
His gaze fell on the other person's face, and his tone was very serious.
"Alright, I've been asking you for ages in the car, and you still won't tell me. Now you should tell me what the surprise is, right? I've been looking forward to it since last night, so please don't disappoint me."
Su Qingxue smiled and put down her teacup, then took out a neatly bound document from her bag and handed it to him.
Chen Yuan took it and was so shocked by the words on it that he was speechless for a moment.
It was the plan that Su Qingxue had prepared.
She rested her chin on her hand, her gaze clear and resolute.
"This surprise didn't disappoint you, did it?"
Chen Yuan immediately opened it and began to read it carefully, while Su Qingxue began to speak.
"I plan to invest 200 million in your new store and become a direct shareholder."
"The 200 million yuan for hard decoration and equipment will account for about 130 to 140 million yuan, and the remaining 60 yuan will be used as working capital. I own 30% of the shares, do not participate in daily operations, but retain the right to audit finances and the right to veto major matters."
"Dividends will be distributed based on net profit for the first three years, and you will have the right of first refusal to repurchase the shares in the fifth year."
"In short, it's about sharing risks and distributing benefits equally."
Chen Yuan gasped, his fingers moving faster as he flipped through the documents.
At the same time, his pupils flashed with undisguised surprise and astonishment.
Two million?
It's still a legitimate business investment.
Even the business cooperation agreement is written in such detail.
And... when did this girl become so rich?
Chen Yuan raised his head, his Adam's apple bobbing involuntarily.
"Qingxue...you, why are you doing this so suddenly?"
"It wasn't sudden at all. If I had to say, I had planned it all along. I had this idea from the day we went to see the new store together."
Chen Yuan was momentarily at a loss for how to react. His heart suddenly tightened, and he asked urgently.
"Qingxue, I have just one question: where did you get so much money? Two million is no small sum."
"Where did this money come from?"
"Why so suddenly? I have a feeling... I don't even know how to explain it..."
