Su Rongqi looked at Su Rou, and Su Rou also smiled back at him. Finally, Su Rongqi's expression softened slightly. "Meimei said she saw Yuze dropping you off at school and you two kissing."
Su Rou frowned. It was true that she and Yuze would share a goodbye kiss every time he dropped her off at school. But... the place where Brother Yuze parked should be unnoticed. How could Su Meimei have seen it? And the most crucial thing was that she didn't even notice!
"Grandpa, I think Sister Meimei must have seen it wrong or misunderstood the relationship between Brother Yuze and me. Brother Yuze and I have always had a very good relationship." Su Rou explained.
Su Rongqi nodded. "Yes, I've known you two have a good relationship since you were kids." Su Rongqi remembered that Su Yuze had decided to separate from the family for Su Rou's sake back then, which was enough to show how important Su Rou was to him. "I think Meimei must have seen it wrong!"
"Um..." Su Rou secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she had managed to hide it for the time being.
Su Rongqi picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip of tea. "However, I hope you'll get less close to Yuze in the future."
The frown that had just relaxed on Su Rou's face wrinkled again. "Why?" Grandpa had already believed that there was nothing special between her and Brother Yuze. Why didn't he allow her to get close to Brother Yuze?
"Your public identity is Yuze's younger sister. If you two get too close, people will gossip about you!" Su Rongqi cared a lot about reputation, especially Su Yuze's. After all, he had high hopes for Su Yuze and didn't want him to be bothered by rumors. It wasn't good for Su Rou's reputation either.
Su Rou wasn't stupid. She understood what Su Rongqi meant. "Grandpa means that I'll bring trouble to Brother Yuze?"
"Yes." Su Rongqi nodded. "Yuze's career is booming now, and he will take over the Su Group. He can't be distracted."
Su Rou was a bit angry at Su Rongqi's words. She took a deep breath. In wealthy families, there was always a bit of a preference for sons over daughters, not in terms of birth but in terms of career. Su Rongqi thought women shouldn't interfere too much. After thinking for a while, Su Rou said, "Grandpa, I'm studying finance now. I can help Brother Yuze in the future."
"I know." Su Rongqi said. "But let's talk about it after you graduate."
"I..."
"You'd better live in the Su Mansion from now on. This way, Yuze will feel more at ease." Su Rongqi said, then walked away and told the servants, "Go and tidy up a bedroom for the young miss."
"Yes."
Su Rou watched Su Rongqi's back as he walked away. Would Yuze feel at ease if she lived in the Su Mansion? No! If she lived in the Su Mansion, Yuze would never feel at ease! But her phone had been confiscated by Grandpa, and she couldn't inform Yuze... Wait! Su Rou felt something was wrong!
Logically speaking, although Su Rongqi no longer suspected the relationship between her and Su Yuze, he admitted that Su Yuze and she had a very good relationship. Didn't Grandpa know that Su Yuze would come looking for her? Of course, he did. And he was very sure that Su Yuze would definitely come looking for her. In this way, Grandpa could take the opportunity to talk to Brother Yuze about some conditions. As for what the conditions were, it was probably to get Su Yuze to return to the Su family!
Grandpa was so cunning! He was using her to lure Su Yuze into his trap!
...
Su Yuze had been waiting in his office for quite a while, but Su Rou still hadn't come to see him. His handsome brows furrowed slightly. What was wrong with little Rou'er? Why wasn't she here yet?
If he remembered correctly, little Rou'er only had one class this afternoon!
After waiting for a while longer and still not seeing Su Rou come to the company, he called her. The call went through, but no one answered.
His handsome brows furrowed even deeper. If she didn't answer the phone, where could she be? At the hospital? It was possible. Just as Su Yuze was about to call again, he thought for a while and put down his phone. She would call him back later. Su Rou always knew what she was doing and had never given him any trouble.
However, when it was time to go home at night, Su Yuze still hadn't waited for Su Rou, and there wasn't even a phone call. This made Su Yuze feel something was wrong. Generally speaking, Su Rou wouldn't stay out until this late.
Su Yuze picked up his phone and called Su Rou again, but it still went through without an answer. Su Yuze's brows furrowed deeper. He called again, but still no answer.
After putting down the phone and pondering for a while, Su Yuze called Xiao Yun. The call was quickly answered on the other end. "Boss Su, just tell me what you need!"
"Where's little Rou'er?" Su Yuze asked right away.
"Ah, she was picked up by her grandpa. Why? Didn't she tell you?" Xiao Yun also felt strange. Even if she was picked up by her grandpa, she should have told Su Yuze, after all, Su Yuze was currently Su Rou's guardian.
Su Yuze's brows furrowed deeper. "No... I see."
After saying that, he hung up the phone. His face was terribly gloomy. Why did Grandpa pick up little Rou'er? Su Yuze immediately called Su Rongqi. The phone rang several times before it was finally answered. "Yuze."
"Grandpa, I heard you picked up little Rou'er." Although it was a question, Su Yuze said it very surely!
Su Rongqi said calmly, "Who told you that?"
"It doesn't matter. Is little Rou'er with you?" Su Yuze asked.
A look of sternness gradually gathered in Su Rongqi's eyes. It seemed that the girl standing with little Rou this afternoon was most likely sent by Su Yuze to protect Su Rou. Su Yuze really spared no effort for Su Rou!
"Grandpa?" If the person on the other end wasn't Su Rongqi, Su Yuze would never have said so much nonsense. He would have just driven over!
Su Rongqi was silent for a long time before slowly asking, "Yuze, I've noticed... your feelings for little Rou have gone beyond sibling love."
Su Yuze was slightly stunned. So, this was Grandpa's purpose for taking little Rou'er away? He tightened his grip on the phone slightly. "Brother Yuze and I have been fatherless and motherless since childhood. You won't understand the feelings between us, Grandpa."
This time, it was Su Rongqi's turn to hold his breath. That's right. Su Yuze and Su Rou had been fatherless and motherless since childhood and had relied on each other. It could be said that Su Yuze had brought Su Rou up single - handedly. Their deep bond was probably unbreakable even by their own parents. A look of guilt flashed across Su Rongqi's eyes but disappeared in a flash. "Little Rou is with me."
"I'll come right away."
It was really Grandpa who had taken little Rou'er away. What was Grandpa's purpose?
