After her identity was stolen, she lived in the short-lived villain's phone.
Chapter 405 Bracelet
Chapter 405 Bracelet
A sumptuous lunch was enjoyed by all the guests.
After following Su's father around and toasting each table of guests, Chi Yu was finally able to sit down and eat in peace.
Su's mother lowered her voice: "Yu Yu, you've worked hard today. After lunch, go back and take a good nap."
Chi Yu smiled and shook her head: "It's not hard work. It's so lively today, Dad, Mom, you're the ones who are most worried."
Chi Yu was right. The grand scene of her returning home today, with its cannons, lion dance troupe, and eighty tables of guests at noon, was almost entirely arranged by Su's parents over the phone.
Of course, Uncle Su, Second Uncle Su, and Aunt Su also contributed a lot.
Overall, Chi Yu, who was directly involved, was actually the most relaxed one.
Hearing Chi Yu's words, Su's mother's heart softened.
Su Muyang was starving. He picked up his chopsticks and called out, "Sister, Mom, hurry up and eat! The food will get cold soon."
"Hahahaha, good..."
The family and several cousins sat together, enjoying a lively meal.
As the banquet ended, the guests gradually left, and in the end, only Uncle Su, Second Uncle Su, Aunt Su, and a few others remained.
These cousins and paternal relatives were the closest blood relatives to Chi Yu, besides her parents. During the recent family reunion banquet, Chi Yu gradually became familiar with them.
Chi Yu has been busy since she left home this morning, and now that she has eaten, she suddenly feels a bit of stomach pain.
Chi Yu glanced at Su's father, who was drinking with Uncle Su and the others, rummaged through her bag, and lowered her voice: "Mom, I'm going to the restroom."
"Okay." Su's mother nodded.
Chi Yu took her phone and quickly left.
The hotel restroom was located on one side of the corridor, with a prominent sign and a very clean floor. Chi Yu lowered her head and walked in.
About ten minutes later, Chi Yu came out of the restroom.
The hotel lobby, which was previously packed with guests, now only has a few scattered tables of guests drinking and chatting, and Su's father is at one of those tables.
Chi Yu could tell that Su's father seemed genuinely happy today. Usually, when he was at home eating, Su's father never drank alcohol, and even when he occasionally went out for business dinners, he would only have a few drinks. But now, accompanied by Su's eldest uncle and second uncle, Su's father was smiling broadly, and he quickly finished the drink in his glass.
Su's mother, grandmother, aunt, and others sat at another table chatting. They seemed to know that such moments of reunion were rare, especially on such a joyous day, so they let their men drink to their hearts' content.
Chi Yu glanced to the side and saw that Chen Xiangyi and Chen Ruizhe, along with their cousins Su Yu'an, Su Jiamu, Su Chao, and other cousins, were sitting at another round table that had been cleaned up and were chatting. The five-star hotel staff had also thoughtfully prepared fruit and hot tea for them.
After Chi Yu went to the restroom, Chen Xiangyi kept glancing towards the corridor. When she saw Chi Yu coming over, she quickly waved and said, "Cousin, come and sit down."
Chi Yu walked over quickly.
Chen Xiangyi took great care of Chi Yu and even specially reserved a spot next to her for Chi Yu.
After Chi Yu sat down, Chen Xiangyi asked, "Cousin, how long have you been back this time?"
"I'm not sure yet." Chi Yu obediently shook her head: "I'll ask my mom later."
Su's parents had told her before that when she returned to her hometown, she would see many relatives and visit the ancestral hall and the mountain to worship her ancestors.
Today, only part of it has been completed; there is still another part to go.
Chi Yu pondered, "It should take several days, right?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Xiangyi couldn't help but chuckle.
She couldn't help herself anymore, "Cousin, you're so cute!"
Even though she's in her twenties, she still answers questions so formally and insists on asking her mother when she's unsure. How is that any different from a well-behaved elementary school student?
She has absolutely no resistance to this kind of well-behaved girl!
Su Yu'an turned to Su Chengyan and asked, "Brother Yan, how long are you staying this time?"
"Maybe three or four days." Su Chengyan took a sip of his hot tea.
This time, the whole family came. Both Su's father and he left. Other senior executives in the company would help him with some things, but he or Su's father still had to make their own decisions on some important matters, so they couldn't leave for too long.
Upon hearing that it had only been a few days, everyone frowned in disdain: "Ugh, we finally got back, and this is all we get?"
"Brother Yan, why don't we stay a few more days? It's my cousin's first time back, and we're planning to show her around Guangzhou."
"That's right, that's right. It's rare for us to come back, it wouldn't be right not to spend a few more days playing."
"If I really don't go back to the capital, do you all have that much time?" Su Chengyan raised his eyes: "Xiangyi, aren't you going to work? Yu'an, aren't you doing your experiments? Su Chao, aren't you guys going to school?"
Everyone instantly looked like cats being choked, their faces congested: "..."
Oh, I almost forgot, they're also people who don't have time to have fun!
Upon seeing this, Chi Yu chuckled.
"Oh well, it's okay. What's more important than taking care of a girl at work? I can take a day off." Chen Xiangyi took out her phone and said to Chi Yu, "Come on, cousin, let's add each other on WeChat first."
"Yes! I'll add one too!"
"Come on, let's all add one, then we'll be family!"
"..."
Everyone held their phones out in front of Chi Yu.
“Okay.” Chi Yu looked at their QR code scanning page and tapped on her own QR code.
In a short time, Chi Yu received seven or eight friend requests on WeChat.
Since we're all the same age, it's easy to find common ground when we sit together.
Before long, Chi Yu became familiar with them.
However, while chatting with Chen Xiangyi and Su Yu'an, Chi Yu felt a gaze on her, as if someone was watching her.
But when she turned her head, she found nothing.
Chi Yu chatted happily with everyone, showing no sign of anything amiss.
After Su's father and the others had finished their meal, the group finally got up from the table.
Chen Xiangyi and Su Yu'an stepped forward to check on their fathers' condition.
Chi Yu and Su Chengyan also went over and found that although Su's father and brothers were flushed from drinking, they were still sober. Only their third uncle, who didn't have a high alcohol tolerance, seemed a little drunk and started to slur his words.
"Brother, you help Dad, I'll go get the car," Chen Xiangyi instructed.
"Okay." Chen Zerui nodded.
Everyone prepared to leave.
The three Su brothers were heavy drinkers and didn't need any assistance. The banquet was on the third floor, and it seemed that even the two elevators couldn't hold all the people.
Seeing this, the younger generation went down the stairs and left the elevator for the elders.
Chi Yu originally wanted to follow along up the stairs, but after a few steps she suddenly remembered that her bag was not with her, so she quickly turned around and went into the lobby to look for it.
Su's mother noticed Chi Yu's movements: "Yu Yu, what's wrong?"
"My bag, I forgot my bag."
As soon as Chi Yu finished speaking, Su's mother raised the things in her hands and called out to her, "They're with me. I'm carrying them for you."
"Huh?" Chi Yu turned around and, sure enough, saw her small bag in Su's mother's hand.
She walked over.
"I saw you chatting with Xiangyi and the others after you came back from the restroom, so I held onto it for you." Su's mother handed the bag back to Chi Yu, smiling gently, "Come take the elevator with us."
"No, no, I'll go down the stairs." Chi Yu waved her hand in refusal.
Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed that the elderly Mrs. Su, who was standing with everyone else waiting for the elevator, looked pale and seemed to be in some kind of predicament.
Grandma Su is 81 years old this year. She is in good health and occasionally goes out with her old friends for drinks and shopping. She is a slender but very energetic old lady who now lives with Uncle Su's family.
She dressed up especially for this banquet today.
The old lady, who had been so energetic during the meal, was now quiet and tired, though the rest of the Su family seemed not to notice.
"Grandma?" Chi Yu called out.
After her voice fell, Old Mrs. Su swayed.
Chi Yu's pupils contracted slightly, and she quickly stepped forward.
Standing next to Grandma Su were Aunt Su and her younger sister-in-law. The three of them reacted quickly and reached out to catch Grandma Su.
"mom!"
"Mom, what's wrong with you!"
Everyone was startled to see the suddenly weak Grandma Su.
"Medicine, medicine, medicine! It must be the old lady's headache acting up again!" Aunt Su reacted quickly. After the others helped the old lady to her feet, she quickly searched the old lady's body with her hands and soon found a small white medicine bottle. She then unscrewed the cap, poured out a white pill, and put it into the old lady's mouth.
"Would you like some water?" Su's mother delivered a bottle of drinking water with the cap on: "It's clean, I've never drunk from it before."
Aunt Su didn't care that the water wasn't warm at this moment, and immediately took the bottle and fed some water to the old lady Su.
Grandma Su hadn't actually fainted; she was conscious and knew that everyone was trying to save her.
As soon as the pill entered her mouth, Grandma Su swallowed it forcefully. After drinking some water, her face turned from pale to white, and her lips gradually regained their color.
Seeing this, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Aunt Su slapped her thigh: "Mom! You almost scared us to death! Why didn't you say you weren't feeling well sooner?"
"Mom, what happened?" Su's father asked gravely, clearly shaken. "Mom, how are you? Let's take you to the hospital now."
"It's an old ailment, nothing serious." Grandma Su regained her strength and stood up on her own.
However, Chi Yu and Su Xiaogu did not loosen their grip on her body at all.
“Mom, this is an old problem; you have to take your medicine on time.” At this point, Aunt Su looked at Old Madam Su with suspicion: “Mom, did you forget to take your medicine this morning? Didn’t Aunt Chen make sure you took it?”
"Cough cough, I brought the medicine, but I completely forgot." Old Mrs. Su felt guilty, then grabbed Chi Yu's hand: "Thanks to my granddaughter, otherwise, this old woman would have fallen to the ground today!"
As soon as Grandma Su said this, everyone immediately remembered Chi Yu calling her "Grandma" just now.
If she hadn't suddenly spoken up, no one would have noticed Grandma Su's unusual condition.
"Yes, thank goodness for Yu Yu." Aunt Su replied, thanking Chi Yu while also feeling a little guilty. She had been standing next to Old Madam Su just now but hadn't noticed that Old Madam Su's condition was not right.
However, we can't really blame Su Xiaogu, since Grandma Su herself didn't realize she was about to faint, otherwise she would have definitely spoken up to remind her.
Fortunately, Chi Yu noticed that something was wrong with her and helped her up in time.
Otherwise, even if Aunt Su and the others reacted quickly, there was no guarantee that they could catch Old Madam Su in time and prevent her from falling to the ground.
At Mrs. Su's age, even a slight fall could result in a fracture or even death.
Grandma Su held Chi Yu's hand affectionately. She already adored this newly found granddaughter, finding her bright eyes and pleasing appearance delightful.
Now that Chi Yu has helped her, Grandma Su likes Chi Yu even more.
She grabbed Chi Yu's hand and casually slipped the jade bracelet she was wearing onto Chi Yu's wrist.
A sudden chill ran down her wrist. Looking down, she noticed a new bracelet. Startled, Chi Yu exclaimed, "Grandma?"
The moment Su's father met Grandma Su at noon, he introduced her to Chi Yu. When Chi Yu called her "Grandma" for the first time, Grandma Su smiled and gave her a generous red envelope.
Even if Chi Yu didn't understand jade, she could tell from the bracelet's crystal-clear color that it was definitely of extraordinary value.
"No, no, Grandma, this is too precious." Chi Yu reached out to return the bracelet, but Grandma Su wouldn't let her take it off.
Grandma Su looked down at the bracelet on Chi Yu's wrist, smiled with satisfaction, and said with a kind expression, "It's not expensive at all. It looks good on your fair skin."
She patted Chi Yu's hand reassuringly, then let go of Chi Yu's hand.
Seeing this, Chi Yu looked at Su's mother with some confusion.
Unbeknownst to her, when she saw Grandma Su slide the bracelet directly onto her hand, the expressions of the elders around her changed slightly.
This bracelet has been worn by Grandma Su for many years and has always been her treasure. It is said to be a precious item that Grandma Su brought from her family home when she got married.
Grandma Su was an only child, and this was her family heirloom. Its history can be traced back to the previous dynasty, making it a genuine antique with immeasurable value.
Not to mention Aunt Su's eldest and second aunts, even Aunt Su's youngest daughter once wanted this bracelet and begged Grandma Su for it, but Grandma Su still didn't give it to her.
And now, such a valuable bracelet, Grandma Su actually gave to Chi Yu, whom she had just met.
For a moment, everyone's expressions were complicated, and their thoughts were hard to discern.
Su's mother was also stunned. When she caught Chi Yu's gaze, she quickly said, "Mom, this bracelet is too valuable..."
Before she could finish speaking, Grandma Su interrupted her: "Alright, alright, it's my own thing, I can give it to whomever I want. My granddaughter has suffered so much for so many years, it breaks my heart as her grandmother, what's a bracelet compared to that?"
As she spoke, she looked at Chi Yu and said, "Sweetie, if you need anything in the future, just tell Grandma. If anyone bullies you, tell Grandma too. Grandma will fight back for you."
