Chapter 18 - Chapter 18: The Stranger Uncle

Zhang Qiaoqiao suddenly looked up at the always-closed room on the second floor and asked in confusion, "Why has that door never opened? Is it a special reception area?"

Senior Brother Fang followed her gaze. When he saw that it was the Golden Plaque Room 205, a trace of embarrassment flashed across his face.

"That room is reserved for Young Master Ye from Beijing. Today he has booked the entire second floor; otherwise, I could have taken you up to have a look."

Everyone felt a sense of regret, but when they heard the words "Young Master Ye," their ears perked up involuntarily.

Zhang Qiaoqiao exclaimed in surprise, "It's actually Young Master Ye?"

The others seemed quite excited.

For ordinary people like them, if they could connect with Young Master Ye, even if it was just adding him as a contact, it would be a tremendous fortune.

"I've heard that Young Master Ye's cousin is Lu Yun from the Lu Group!"

He is someone whom countless powerful people want to curry favor with.

And those in the Beijing Circle all know that Young Master Ye and that big shot have known each other since childhood, and their relationship is incredibly close. The Ye Family has risen alongside them.

Su Xingwan's hand holding the chopsticks shook instinctively when she heard the name of Sanbao's little uncle.

Did this big shot from the novel make an appearance so early?

"Zhang Qiaoqiao, don't you have a show that you got from Young Master Ye?" Wu Qian suddenly asked.

Zhang Qiaoqiao's expression turned into a strangely tense smile when she heard this.

"Yes, is there a problem?"

Wu Qian smiled and said, "Well, it's like this: since we've already had enough to eat, and you know Young Master Ye, can you take us to meet him?"

As soon as she spoke, everyone's eyes were on her.

Meeting their gaze, Zhang Qiaoqiao said awkwardly,

"I did get the show from Young Master Ye, but I've never met him in person."

Her show script was directly given to her by her company because her agent had high hopes for her, so she was given this opportunity.

"Oh, I see," Wu Qian said with some disappointment.

The others also looked disappointed.

Qu Qiuxin suggested, "Why don't we all go over and say hello?"

Senior Brother Fang hesitated, "Is that a good idea? What if we get thrown out by Young Master Ye..."

He still cared about saving face.

The others also felt it was inappropriate. They really wanted to connect with Young Master Ye, but doing it at the cost of humiliation wasn't acceptable.

Suddenly, they shifted their gaze to Su Xingwan.

Su Xingwan instinctively touched her nose.

Why are you all looking at me?

Everyone knew that although Su Xingwan didn't have a good reputation in the upper-class circle, she still had half a foot in that circle, at least better than them.

When it came to thick-skinned, they had to admire Su Xingwan.

Previously, because she had a show script, she tried to find Young Master Ye and was thrown out, which became a joke for everyone.

Although this incident later spread throughout the entire upper-class circle, and Su Xingwan was utterly humiliated, at least that Young Master Ye remembered her, right?

Seeing that they were still staring at her, Su Xingwan picked up her chopsticks and quietly continued to eat.

Seeing that Su Xingwan wasn't taking their bait,

one person couldn't help but cough and said, "Su Xingwan, could you lead the way to meet Young Master Ye?"

Su Xingwan paused,

raised her head, and looked a bit surprised, "You really want me to go?"

Everyone nodded awkwardly.

Su Xingwan: "..."

"I don't need to make connections; why should I go?"

After hearing what she said,

look at you, do you think we'll believe that?

Everyone knows that Su Xingwan would do anything for her future.

Qu Qiuxin looked at her, "Are you really not going?"

Su Xingwan shook her head, "I'm not going."

Isn't it better to sit here and enjoy her meal?

Go there to get thrown out like the original owner before, and then be laughed at?

She wouldn't do something so foolish!

Upon hearing that Su Xingwan really had no intention of going, everyone gave up on this idea.

The two little ones arrived at the children's playground and were amazed by the many toys in front of them.

"Brother, so many, so many little toys!"

Little Su Hua was very happy and ran into the foam balls rolling around.

"So much fun!"

Little Su Luo also ran over to play with his sister.

As Liu Yu passed by them, he said, "Bumpkins."

Little Su Hua asked, puzzled, "Brother, why did he call us bumpkins?"

Little Su Luo replied, "I don't know, maybe we look like steamed buns."

The system chimed in: [You silly, he's mocking you.]

"Mocking me?"

Little Su Luo's tiny fists clenched instantly when he realized they were being mocked.

Liu Yu stood not far away, holding a ball in his arms, he kicked it toward them and shouted.

"Two bumpkins, kick the ball over to me!"

Little Su Luo glared at him angrily, "Don't call us bumpkins!"

"You really are bumpkins, and I can't call you that?"

Liu Yu looked at them with disdain and said, "You guys probably have never played with these things before, right? Two poor kids!"

A little girl in a white princess dress came over and said, "Liu Yu, enough! Why do you always target them?"

Liu Yu snorted, "I'm not wrong."

The little girl said, "You're so rude. We won't play with you anymore!"

The other kids chimed in, "We won't play with you either."

"We don't want to be friends with rude kids."

Saying this, the kids all abandoned him and ran over to the two little ones.

Little Su Hua looked at the little girl in the white princess dress and asked, "Sister, what's your name?"

"I'm Chu Nuo, you can call me Sister Nuo."

"Hello, Sister Nuo," Little Su Hua said sweetly.

Chu Nuo happily took her hand, "Come on, let's go over there and play with building blocks."

"Yes, yes!" Little Su Hua said happily.

Ye Yixing, who was coming downstairs from the second floor, passed by the children's playground.

Just when a little boy turned his head, Ye Yixing suddenly stopped in his tracks.

"...Young Master Ye, why did you stop?" the person next to him reminded.

Ye Yixing replied, "Wait a minute, I'll go in and take a look first."

With that, he lifted his foot and walked in.

A group of kids didn't notice any adults had come in.

Little Su Luo bent over, playing with his sister to build a house.

"Looks like it, it really does look a bit like him."

Little Su Luo, hearing the noise, looked up and saw a strange uncle staring at him.

A hint of wariness flashed in his eyes, "Uncle, who are you looking for?"

The system got excited the moment it saw Ye Yixing.

[Little Su Luo, that's your little uncle's cousin. Cousin! Seeing him means your little uncle isn't far away!!!]

Little Su Luo frowned with his steamed bun-like face.

This system is so noisy! It's about to make his head hurt, can it get out of his head?

Since the system resides in the host's brain, one person and the system can communicate through inner thoughts.

At this moment, all of Little Su Luo's thoughts were received by the system.

The system instantly deflated.

[Little host, do you know who is standing in front of you? This is your little uncle's cousin, and he's your cousin too. Seeing him means seeing your little uncle.]
