The next day, the whole family was packing the things they needed for the amusement park. As Chen Lishu was about to close her bag, an excited voice suddenly reached her ears.
Su Nian came rushing in from outside, her voice filled with panic, "Madam, Madam! Xu Teng has sent some major news!"
Upon hearing Su Nian's words, Chen Lishu put down her schoolbag and looked at her with a frown, "Let's talk about it inside, whatever it is."
After speaking, the two of them went into the study.
As soon as they entered, Su Nian eagerly reassured her, "Madam, don't worry, what I'm about to tell you is not bad news!"
Hearing this, Chen Lishu finally relaxed. After a moment of silence, she guessed, "What is it? Could it be that they made a new move, and it was discovered by the detective team?"
Su Nian's eyes lit up, she snapped her fingers, and nodded vigorously, "Madam, you are truly amazing, you guessed it! You're right, they did make a new move. According to the report from the detective team, Xu Teng took action against Wang Yuhua. The other party pulled out Wang Yuhua's tubes, causing her to die completely in bed!"
"Was that scene captured?" Ever since she tasted the benefits of video recording, Chen Lishu had equipped her staff with a mobile phone capable of long-term recording and with massive storage.
A faint smile curved Su Nian's lips. She then took out the recorded video from her pocket and handed it to Chen Lishu, "As you requested, all of his strange behavior has been recorded and saved on this phone! To be honest, I was quite surprised when I heard the news. According to my investigation, Wang Yuhua treated Xu Teng very well, always trying her best to satisfy his requests. I didn't expect Xu Teng to be so heartless, capable of killing a elder who watched him grow up, and for a mere few hundred thousand!"
Listening to Su Nian's lament, Chen Lishu tapped the table with one hand and said helplessly, "Xu Teng's transformation is inseparable from Yang Lili! That Yang Lili truly stops at nothing to deal with me. I hope that after this incident is resolved, this troublesome person will disappear from my sight!"
Su Nian encouraged her, "There is already evidence pointing to Yang Lili. Even if she doesn't die, she'll lose a significant amount of her influence."
After the two had chatted for a while, Chen Lishu led Su Nian out of the study.
As soon as they stepped out, they saw Li Xiulan walking towards them with a worried expression, "How is it? Did something happen? If you need to go deal with something, you don't have to accompany us to the amusement park!"
Chen Lishu tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and replied with a smile, "What could happen? Su Nian just brought me some good news. Everyone should still go and have fun. The three children have been looking forward to this day for a long time, how could I spoil their mood?"
Xiaobai overheard their conversation. She didn't understand Chen Lishu's current situation and only knew that her mother might not be able to go out with her today. Looking at Chen Lishu with a pout, she said pitifully, "Yes, Mom promised me you'd go out with us today. If you break your promise, Xiaobai will be sad!"
Yicheng, seeing that his sister's emotions were a bit off, pulled her into his arms and gently patted her back, comforting her sensibly, "Mommy is busy earning money to buy us delicious food, we shouldn't be willful. Mommy, if you're really busy, then go. We can go to the amusement park anytime. But you also need to take care of yourself, don't let this job wear you out."
Seeing how sensible the children were, Chen Lishu's heart ached slightly. She pursed her lips, then crouched down and hugged them both, "Mommy really has nothing to deal with today. The only thing I need to do is accompany you to the amusement park for a good time!"
Xiaobai looked at Chen Lishu with red-rimmed eyes and asked, choking back a sob, "Mommy, are you really not busy? Are you really going to accompany Xiaobai to the amusement park?"
Chen Lishu nodded, her tone very serious, "Really!"
With her assurance, Xiaobai's face lit up with joy, "Then let's hurry and head to the amusement park!"
Watching Xiaobai's cheerful demeanor, Chen Lishu shook her head with a hint of helplessness and reminded, "Wait a moment, don't you realize someone is missing from our group? We have to wait for Daddy to come back."
Xiaobai and Yicheng were visibly taken aback when they heard about their father. They hadn't seen Gu Xingdong for a while and only knew that both parents were very busy. It seemed this outing was truly a family affair, which made the two children even more excited.
Speak of the devil, as they were discussing where their father was, the front door of the house was pushed open. Gu Xingdong walked in, looking exhausted, followed by Zhang Wan'er.
A gentle smile appeared on Zhang Wan'er's face. She walked to Li Xiulan's side, hooked her arm, and then pouted, "Auntie, Lishu, I'm here again! I heard your family is going to the amusement park today. Could you take me along? I don't have any friends in Kyoto, and it's rare to find a sister to spend time with, so I'm quite happy."
Since she had arrived, Chen Lishu, although knowing her intentions were not pure, couldn't say anything harsh before the pretense was broken. After all, Gu Xingdong had lived in the military for six years, and Zhang Wan'er had taken care of him quite a bit. Moreover, she was also a relative of Yang Zhiguo! It wasn't easy to completely fall out. Therefore, when facing Zhang Wan'er's request, Chen Lishu displayed a forced smile and replied indirectly, "Today is a family gathering, and we may not be able to host Miss Zhang. Please forgive us if there are any shortcomings in our hospitality."
Zhang Wan'er seemed not to catch Chen Lishu's underlying meaning. She nodded honestly and put on a nonchalant air, saying, "It's okay, don't worry about me. We're all so familiar with each other, I wouldn't mistreat myself, would I?"
With the conversation reaching this point, a complex look flashed in Chen Lishu's eyes. She nodded, then said, "Alright, since everyone is here, let's head to the amusement park!"
The two children, unaware of the subtle atmosphere, only knew they were going to the amusement park and responded with excitement, "Okay," and eagerly ran to Gu Xingdong, asking to be carried like an airplane. Chen Lishu and Su Nian followed behind them, carrying the items the children needed for the amusement park.
