296 The Shen Family’s Banquet

After a while, Su Ming finally came to his senses, and he did not know whether to laugh or cry.

“What are you thinking?”

Upon hearing this, Lin Can quickly swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, “No, Brother Su, I’m not used to you being so nice to me all of. Sudden…”

Su Ming shook his head and said, “That’s what you call cheap.”

After giving his evaluation, Su Ming continued, “I just saw that it’s not convenient for you to come over right now. It just so happens that I’m also here to pick up this turtle.”

“Look at your worthless face!”

Once he heard Su Ming’s explanation, Lin Can let out a long sigh of relief and chuckled.

“Then, Brother Su, if you put it this way, I’ll understand, right?”

“Alright, call me when you’re here. I’ll come and find you again. I’ll take care of some things in the tribe first.”

When Su Ming heard that, he hung up.

However, just as Su Ming put away the equipment in Dishan’s hands and was about to send it to Lin Can…

In his friend list, another voice message request popped up.

When he saw the voice message request, Su Ming was first slightly stunned, then he quirked his eyebrows in confusion.

The person who called was Shen Yi.

He didn’t have many friends in the game, and the one who looked for him the most was naturally the annoying Su Xiaoshan.

And the person who looked for him the least was Shen Yi.

Her personality was indeed very independent and self-reliant. Whenever she encountered something in the game, she would tend to settle it herself.

Only when she encountered a problem that she couldn’t solve would she try to ask for help from the other people in the studio.

After all, in this studio, other than the hooligan Su Xiaoshan, the others were indeed better than her.

That was why Su Ming was a little surprised when he received her call.

However, his thoughts remained in his heart. After thinking about it for a while, Su Ming still picked up the phone.

“What’s wrong? Shen Yi, what happened?”

Shen Yi’s reply did not come through the phone immediately. Instead, there was a short period of silence.

As the silence gradually dissipated, Shen Yi’s voice could be heard from the other side.

“Mmh…it’s not in-game, it’s real life.”

“I don’t think it’s a good idea to look for anyone else in the studio for this matter. You’re the most suitable person.”

When he heard Shen Yi’s words, Su Ming was momentarily stunned, then he immediately frowned.

“Is it about your family?”

“Yes.”

After a short pause, Shen Yi spoke again, “To be more precise, it’s my brother’s business.”

“He called me and my dad this morning. He hopes that we can go home together tonight and discuss some things.”

Su Ming quirked his eyebrows slightly, and his thoughts continued to wander.

Logically speaking, this was the Shen family’s business and Su Ming should not have bothered himself with it.

However, with Shen Fang here, this probably wouldn’t be as simple as just being related to the Fang family.

In addition, Shen Yi had called him. This meant that she was not sure what Shen Fang’s current attitude was.

Once he understood the crux of the matter, Su Ming spoke again.

“Tell me about the general situation first.”

“Why don’t we talk on the roof?”

When Su Ming heard Shen Yi’s suggestion, he did not reject it.

Ten minutes later, the two of them arrived at the rooftop.

As he looked at Shen Yi’s exquisite and moving face, which was also filled with worry, Su Ming said, “Tell me, what’s the specific situation?”

When Shen Yi heard Su Ming’s question, she was silent at first, then she spoke slowly.

“This morning, my brother called me. He said that he had something important to discuss with my father and me.”

“I was curious, so I asked him a few questions. What is so important?”

“My brother didn’t want to tell me at first, but he couldn’t change my mind, so he told me that it was because of the game.”

Shen Yi lifted her head and looked at Su Ming, who was standing in front of her. There was a slight flicker in her eyes.

“I don’t know what he wants to say to me and my dad, so…”

Su Ming looked at the person in front of him and raised his eyebrows slightly. “Do you want me to give you some advice?”

“I hope you can come back with me and see what my brother is up to.” Shen Yi shook her head.

When he heard Shen Yi’s honest words, Su Ming was silent for a while, then he nodded his head and said, “I understand.”

Shen Yi was stunned. Clearly, she did not expect Su Ming to agree to her request so easily. There was a hint of surprise on her face.

“You agree?”

Su Ming cast her a glance and chuckled. “What can I do if I don’t agree? Are you going to watch your brother kidnap you?”

Shen Yi laughed at first, then she said in a slightly annoyed tone, “Why do your words sound so strange?”

...

“He’s clearly my brother, how could I have abducted him?”

Su Ming cast a glance at Shen Yi.

“It sounds strange, but if you think about it carefully, there’s nothing wrong with it, right?”

When Shen Yi heard this, she shrugged her shoulders and said, “That’s true.”

The two of them looked at each other and smiled.

…

At night.

Because other than the weekly meal, the other people in the studio were all immersed in the game, that was why Su Ming did not tell them that he was going out with Shen Yi.

Once Su Ming and Shen Yi bought some basic gifts, they took a taxi to a high-class residential area.

When she saw the surprised expression on Su Ming’s face, Shen Yi chuckled and said, “Before my mother passed away, she left a lot of money for my family.”

Su Ming nodded with some understanding.

...

He had wanted to ask more about Shen Yi’s mother, but they had already reached the entrance of the community.

It was obvious that there was no time left for him to delve into this topic.

When they arrived at Shen Yi’s house, Shen Yi had just opened the password lock when a figure welcomed them warmly.

As he welcomed them, he also said, “Little Yi, you’re back?”

The person was Shen Fang.

However, his enthusiasm immediately came to an abrupt end when he saw Su Ming.

The two of them looked at each other, and Shen Fang’s expression froze.

After staring at Su Ming for a long while, he finally smiled.

“This is…you’re Su Ming, right?”

When Su Ming heard that, he nodded his head lightly.

When he saw Su Ming nodding his head, the corners of Shen Fang’s eyes twitched slightly, and he continued with a fake smile, “If I’m not mistaken, today should be our Shen family’s family banquet. You…”

“I was the one who asked him to come.”

Shen Fang had just finished half of his sentence when Shen Yi’s voice rang out beside the two of them.
