After her identity was stolen, she lived in the short-lived villain's phone.

Chapter 258 Su Chengyan's Inquiry
Shen Yanzhi carefully checked his phone layer by layer and finally confirmed that the new employee had happily left him to enjoy a wonderful vacation the day after signing the contract.

Shen Yanzhi glanced at his phone for two seconds, then tossed it aside.

Only after he finished washing up, changed his clothes, and stood in front of the bed again did he reach out and retrieve his phone.

……

A few white clouds floated in the azure sky, distant and serene.

Above the city, sunlight streamed down, and golden rays gradually enveloped the earth.

The streets were bustling with people and vehicles, a scene of prosperity and liveliness.

After inquiring about Chi Yu's preferences, Su Chengyan led her to a teahouse with excellent decor and flavors.

This teahouse is extremely popular; at a glance, the spacious hall with dozens of tables is completely full.

When Chi Yu followed Su Chengyan inside, she found that there were still quite a few people queuing up.

The waiter, however, led Su Chengyan and Chi Yu into a private room with utmost respect and familiarity: "Mr. Su, this is the room the manager has arranged for you."

"Okay." Su Chengyan nodded slightly.

After taking their seats, the brother and sister ordered food by scanning a QR code on their phones.

Looking at the various food pictures displayed on her phone screen, Chi Yu couldn't help but sigh.

She hasn't eaten anything since she changed her identity.

The previous times I transformed into a human, there were always reasons for it, and each time I would rush off to do other things after transforming into a human.

Never before have I been able to sit comfortably in a teahouse and while away the time like this.

After the two ordered their food, the waiter quickly brought them tea.

Su Chengyan personally poured Chi Yusheng a cup and placed it in front of her: "This teahouse belongs to the Liang family."

Liang?
Chi Yu's eyes flickered as she looked at Su Chengyan.

Su Chengyan poured himself a cup of tea, his movements fluid and graceful, his voice clear and gentle: "My mother told me that her ancestors were not native to Beijing, but rather from Guangzhou. It wasn't until my grandfather was young that he stumbled upon Beijing during the economic reforms."

"This teahouse was my grandfather's first attempt at starting from scratch when he was young. It began as a small breakfast stall, which helped him accumulate his first pot of gold..."

Chi Yu's face showed a look of sudden realization.

No wonder there were so many customers queuing outside, yet the waiter was able to lead her and Su Chengyan into a private room.

However, the possibility that Su Chengyan made the reservation in advance cannot be ruled out.

"Grandpa is amazing to have turned a small breakfast stall into such a big teahouse."

Listening to her business-like praise, Su Chengyan, who had only been introducing her family background, couldn't help but chuckle: "This teahouse can be considered my grandfather's masterpiece. It was also one of the dowry items my grandfather gave to my mother when she got married. Liang Song, do you remember?"

Chi Yu nodded.

“The places you encountered Liang Song before were all Liang family properties. They were the business empire built up by your maternal grandfather and uncles over many years.”

Su Chengyan revealed a little about the Liang family: "Liang Song is the youngest in his generation. Don't be fooled by his obedient appearance in front of his elders. He is actually quite cunning. He is his grandfather's favorite among the younger generation."

Chi Yu couldn't help but recall her previous meetings with Liang Song.

She is indeed well-behaved and very helpful.

Su Chengyan changed the subject: "The Liang family's businesses used to focus on physical catering and entertainment. Our family is different from them; we focus on the virtual economy and investment."

Although Su's parents haven't retired yet, Su Chengyan has been working at his family company since graduating with his master's degree, so he knows his family's assets very well.

Moreover, many of the virtual financing opportunities the Su family is currently seeking were suggested by Su Chengyan after he returned from his studies. He had been eyeing the opportunities in the internet for several years and had been planning them ever since.

Before Chi Yu could react, Su Chengyan had already explained the Su family's businesses clearly.

The collection of massive funds, when spoken of by Su Chengyan, seemed like an extremely ordinary matter, no different from eating or drinking.

Chi Yu seemed to sense something, and her eyes flickered slightly.

Then, the next second, she heard Su Chengyan speak in a calm tone: "Yu Yu, I'm not telling you this to show off my wealth, but to let you know that you have us to rely on. We are your unwavering support, and no matter what happens, we will do our best to help you and solve difficulties together."

Su Chengyan's words almost laid bare what Chi Yu had been trying to hide.

During their previous meetings, Su Chengyan noticed something was off about Chi Yu.

He had asked her about it seriously at the police station last time, but Chi Yu brushed it off with other excuses.

Then they met at the hospital, and this time... although he couldn't see any signs of being bullied or abused on Chi Yu.

But Chi Yu only wore one or two dresses the whole time, and didn't even have a cell phone, so it was obvious that she wasn't living a free life.

Su Chengyan wasn't familiar with Chi Yu before, which is why he kept giving her hints, afraid of upsetting her.

Now, Su Chengyan really couldn't hold back any longer.

This is his younger sister!
He can afford to support thousands or even tens of thousands of high-end luxury dresses, let alone one or two!

Not to mention luxury cars, villas, and stock dividends!

He couldn't just stand by and watch Chi Yu fall into a vortex of suffering without realizing it.

Su Chengyan kept reviewing his recent encounters with Chi Yu in his mind.

She had no pretty clothes, no expensive bags or jewelry, not even a cell phone. Every time she appeared in front of him, she was always in a hurry, exuding an indescribable sense of stealth, as if she was hiding from something.

What Su Chengyan didn't explicitly say was that he suspected Chi Yu was being manipulated by someone.

The other party probably took advantage of Chi Yu's young age and lack of experience in the harsh realities of society after graduating from university. They cunningly deceived Chi Yu but did not treat her well.

Otherwise, she wouldn't always wear the same outfit when she goes out.

If he hadn't bought her a new dress last time, she might still be wearing the same one she was wearing before.

Thinking of this, Su Chengyan felt a surge of hatred.

If this person appeared in front of him right now, he would definitely pin him to the ground and beat him up.

Su Chengyan had also considered investigating secretly, but... every time Chi Yu left, it was as if she had vanished into thin air, and his men couldn't find a trace of her.

This greatly frustrated Su Chengyan.

"Brother." Chi Yu placed his hands under the table, interlaced his fingers, and clenched them into fists with a little force.

In a short time, countless thoughts flashed through Chi Yu's mind.

Chi Yu wasn't stupid; she knew she had many flaws that she had exposed, and every meeting with Su Chengyan would increase the risk of being exposed.

When they met at the police station, Su Chengyan asked her why she had ended up in Shen Yanzhi's phone. Not wanting to implicate Su Chengyan and the others, she chose to cover it up.

Now that she knew the whole story from Xiaobai, Chi Yu pinched her fingers and decided to be honest.

That's why she sent a message yesterday asking Su Chengyan to pick her up early this morning.
