269: The weird uncle who eats children

Su Yue got off work on time. When he returned home, he was shocked to find that Lin Jia had already made dinner.

"Lin Jia, why are you getting off work earlier and earlier lately?"

Previously, Tian Yuwei had asked Lin Jia out for dinner several times, but it took multiple attempts before Lin Jia finally had time to come home to eat.

Recently, she had fewer social engagements, and now she was even getting off early enough to cook dinner at home.

Su Yue had always known Lin Jia was very busy. They had been roommates for so many years, and he had never had dinner with Lin Jia, let alone eaten a meal she cooked.

Although Lin Jia wasn't working as hard as she had in previous years, she still occasionally had to take clients out for meals and activities to maintain her relationships.

But now Lin Jia was actually so free?

Su Yue looked at Lin Jia with suspicion, somehow knowing the reason for her drastic change.

It was probably because that toad Zhu Hua had done something to her again.

Thinking of that shameless toad, Su Yue frowned tightly.

He had already asked Lan Zijun and his rich business friends and socialites to secretly inquire about Zhu Hua, and he was also waiting for the intelligence system to give him information.

However, this time the intelligence system gave him receipts for knives. Based on those receipts alone, he couldn't immediately figure out if those items were related to Zhu Hua.

It seemed he needed to talk to Liang Yuzhu and urge Police to solve the case as soon as possible.

He thought a lot internally, but Su Yue didn't show any of it on his face.

Lin Jia showed no signs of abnormality on her face, smiling happily for a change: "I've been on vacation recently, and since I was bored, I cooked. Come on, get ready to wash your hands and eat."

"Vacation?" Su Yue looked at Lin Jia in surprise.

A workaholic woman who wouldn't take time off even for New Year's or holidays, and who even wished she could work 365 days a year, was unexpectedly taking a vacation? Su Yue didn't believe a word of it.

Whether Su Yue believed it or not, Lin Jia was quite indifferent about the matter.

She nodded: "Yes, I've been busy for a long time. My recent performance targets have been met, so I thought I'd relax and rest for a few days."

It wasn't that Su Yue didn't want Lin Jia to rest, but after the incident with Zhu Hua, Su Yue didn't believe that Lin Jia just wanted to rest well now.

He looked at Lin Jia seriously, a little worried: "Lin Jia, did that fat guy trouble you again?"

Lin Jia didn't want her own affairs to trouble Su Yue, so she shook her head quickly: "No, I really feel tired, that's why I thought about resting."

As soon as Su Yue saw Lin Jia's reluctance to talk about it, he knew she didn't want to tell him the truth, but it was precisely her reaction that made Su Yue even more convinced that his guess was correct.

Zhu Hua must have done something to Lin Jia for her to be acting so unusually.

However, Lin Jia was acting very normal in front of him, and her attitude showed she didn't want to discuss it in detail. Although he was very worried about Lin Jia, it really wasn't a good time for him to bother her.

Therefore, in the end, Su Yue could only say: "Lin Jia, remember, if you have anything, you must tell me, and I will help you."

Lin Jia felt warm inside upon hearing Su Yue's words, and the formatted smile on her face became a bit more sincere.

She nodded emphatically: "Okay, I will. Su Yue, hurry up and wash your hands, otherwise the food will get cold soon."

Su Yue followed Lin Jia's gaze to the table full of steaming dishes, and smelling the aroma of the food in the air, his appetite was also aroused.

He smiled and replied: "I didn't expect your cooking to be so good, Lin Jia. I'm already hungry. In that case, I won't be polite."

Saying this, Su Yue rolled up his sleeves and walked towards the kitchen sink to wash his hands.

Lin Jia also replied with a smile: "It's fine, just eat as much as you want. I guarantee you won't go hungry today."

Lin Jia was very grateful to have a roommate like Su Yue and wanted to make him as happy as possible. Seeing that he liked the food she made, she was also very happy.

After washing his hands and sitting down, Su Yue suddenly thought of something: "Lin Jia, is Tian Yuwei coming back? Should we save some food for her?"

Lin Jia had already thought about this question. She shook her head.

"No need, I asked her in advance. She said her production team is having a dinner party tonight, and she'll come back after the party. She told us not to wait for her, just leave a light on for her."

Seeing this, Su Yue also felt relieved and nodded, "Okay."

He picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs, chewed a few times, and Su Yue's eyes widened slightly in surprise, a little disbelieving.

"Lin Jia, your cooking is really good, these ribs are delicious."

Being praised by Su Yue like this, Lin Jia felt a little embarrassed. She said with a blush: "As long as you like it, eat more if you like it."

Su Yue nodded, picking up other dishes while confidently replying: "Don't worry, the food you made is so delicious, I'll definitely clear the plates."

"Ah~ I haven't eaten this much in a long time."

Lin Jia felt a bit uncomfortable with Su Yue's exaggerated reaction: "Su Yue, your reaction is too over the top."

Lin Jia didn't cook often. Although she knew how to cook, she was sure that what she made was just ordinary food, definitely not so delicious that people would want to eat more to that exaggerated extent.

Watching Su Yue eat heartily, like he hadn't eaten for days, Lin Jia was terrified, afraid that Su Yue would stuff himself to death.

Fortunately, Lin Jia had thought there would only be two people eating and hadn't prepared too many dishes, otherwise she would have been worried about whether she needed to be ready to call emergency services at any time.

Su Yue glared at Lin Jia with an expression that suggested she was being unreasonable, a little resentful: "What do you mean? I haven't had home-cooked meals in a long time, and I miss this feeling of home. I really feel very happy eating this meal."

Su Yue spoke sincerely, and even if Lin Jia wanted to argue, her arguments were very weak.

Being praised so sincerely by Su Yue again, Lin Jia felt a little embarrassed.

She blushed, giving Su Yue an annoyed glare.

Su Yue didn't think he said anything wrong. He looked at Lin Jia openly, with a sincere expression, as if confirming that he truly felt that way and was not mistaken.

Lin Jia's face immediately turned red like a monkey's because of Su Yue's attitude. She was also embarrassed by his gaze. Finally, she gritted her teeth and left in annoyance.

"I cooked the meal, you wash the dishes."

"Tap tap tap" "Bang!"

After the hurried footsteps came the sound of a door being slammed shut. Su Yue was stunned for a moment by Lin Jia's obviously shy actions, but soon he started laughing again.

Having eaten his fill, Su Yue wasn't angry about Lin Jia's hasty departure, leaving the dishes for him to wash. He was even in a good mood, humming a tune as he cleared the table and washed the dishes.

Seeing that Tian Yuwei hadn't returned even at midnight, Su Yue frowned and called Tian Yuwei again.

This time, unlike before, there was a response. After ringing for a while, someone finally picked up on the other end.

It was a voice Su Yue was familiar with: "Hello? Who is it?"

As soon as Su Yue heard the soft, weak voice on the other end, he knew she was drunk and couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"Tian Yuwei, are you drunk? Are you okay? Do you need me to pick you up?"

Having spent such a long time with Tian Yuwei, Su Yue had long considered her family. Seeing that she hadn't come home on her first day of work and was now drunk outside, he couldn't help but worry if something might happen to her.

"Huh?" Tian Yuwei was slow to react because she was drunk. After a while, she seemed to recognize who was calling her and said with a giggle: "Su Yue, it's you. Do you need something by calling me?"

For some reason, after hearing Tian Yuwei say this, a surge of anger immediately rose in Su Yue's heart.

Tian Yuwei was really getting more and more capable, wasn't she? He had been on the sofa, unable to sleep because he was worried about her, sending her messages asking how she was and calling her to check on her.

But what did she do? She just asked him, 'Do you need something by calling me?'

Su Yue was directly exasperated by Tian Yuwei.

He wanted to hang up the phone immediately, but after hearing the noisy background sound on Tian Yuwei's end, he could only tell himself internally not to argue with a drunk person, not to get angry at a drunk person.

Gradually, Su Yue calmed down.

Calm down my foot.

Su Yue couldn't calm down at all.

He said through slightly gritted teeth: "Tian Yuwei, tell me where you are right now, or you'll be sleeping on the sofa from now on."

Tian Yuwei was stunned for a long time by Su Yue's sudden fierceness. Only after a while did she seem to realize what he had said. She obediently said 'Oh' and then told Su Yue the name of the bar she was at.

After dinner, someone suggested going to a bar for a continuation. Tian Yuwei, who had just had a bad experience at a bar, was actually very resistant to them, but the people invited to the show today were all bigger names than her.

None of them had any objections to going to a bar. Although the recently returned Tian Yuwei had a million reasons not to go, she could only endure and follow along to avoid being accused of being a diva again.

Everyone present actually knew about what happened to Tian Yuwei in the bar not long ago. After all, that incident had been on the hot search for several days and was widely discussed throughout the industry. No one wouldn't know about the matter between her and Tang Juan.

When they heard that Tian Yuwei really couldn't drink, they all smiled tacitly and didn't make things difficult for her anymore.

Of course, this was all on the surface. Tian Yuwei had no idea how they were talking about her behind her back.

This team building event was actually quite friendly. Everyone didn't make things difficult for Tian Yuwei and showed kindness towards her. It was clear that these people genuinely wanted to be on good terms with Tian Yuwei.

As for why Tian Yuwei was drunk now, it was entirely her own fault, because she mistook the yellow fruit wine for juice and drank the whole bottle before being reminded by someone next to her.

But by then it was too late, Tian Yuwei was already drunk.

When Tian Yuwei got drunk, she didn't throw a tantrum; she just became slow to react, like a little turtle.

In fact, the people playing games initially didn't even realize Tian Yuwei was drunk. It was only when she said she wanted another drink that they discovered she was drunk.

It was also at this moment that Su Yue called.

Su Yue arrived quickly, but he wasn't the fastest person to arrive.

When Su Yue arrived, he saw that Zhou Nan was actually trying to get Tian Yuwei into a car. His heart tightened instantly, and he rushed forward to grab Tian Yuwei.

Su Yue shielded Tian Yuwei behind him, staring at Zhou Nan with a serious expression, without any fear in his eyes.

The fat sheep he had in his grasp was snatched away, and Zhou Nan was furious. When he saw the familiar person, his anger burned even more fiercely.

He glared at Su Yue angrily: "What are you doing! Snatching people! You kid are quite arrogant!"

Su Yue was not intimidated by the anger on Zhou Nan's face at all. He also stared directly at Zhou Nan without backing down, his voice very cold.

"Tian Yuwei isn't going back with you, leave."

Zhou Nan scoffed, finding Su Yue amusing: "No, who are you? You say Tian Yuwei isn't going with me and she isn't going with me? You f*cking don't know how to write the word 'death', do you!"

Zhou Nan threw a punch at Su Yue without a word.

Su Yue refused to give in and also threw a punch at him.

"Bang bang bang!" The dull sounds of fists hitting flesh rang out.

Su Yue now spent all his free time training in the basement. He was no longer the person he used to be. How could a young master like Zhou Nan, who only indulged in debauchery, be his opponent?

Don't look at how vicious Zhou Nan's attacks were; the one getting hurt was actually him.

Zhou Nan also realized that after fighting for a long time, let alone beating Su Yue to death, he couldn't even touch Su Yue's face.

Zhou Nan's eyes instantly turned red with anger, and his gaze towards Su Yue became increasingly sinister and terrifying.

He roared angrily: "I will definitely not let you off!"

Zhou Nan had always been the one being fawned over. The incident where he not only flipped over but also ended up at Police Station was already his dark history. At that time, he wished he could tear Su Yue into a million pieces.

As a result, he had privately arranged for many people to deal with Su Yue, but those people all ended up failing, which made him very angry.

And recently, he had been busy dealing with Tang Juan, who had betrayed him, and didn't have time to deal with Su Yue.

Today, he received news that Tian Yuwei was at this bar, so he rushed over. Who knew that before he could get his hands on her, this damn man appeared again.

And now he was even beaten until his face was bruised and swollen. How could Zhou Nan swallow such humiliation?

He glared fiercely at Su Yue, took out an iron chain from his pocket, and wrapped it around his hand.

He really intended to beat Su Yue to death.

Su Yue didn't care about Zhou Nan's impotent rage at all. In fact, if it weren't for Zhou Nan still being useful, Su Yue would have personally dealt with him long ago.

How could Zhou Nan still have the chance to stand in front of him and be so arrogant?

Just as Zhou Nan swung his hand wrapped in the iron chain towards him, Su Yue struck him down to the ground with a faster and more vicious blow.

Looking at Zhou Nan who was completely paralyzed on the ground, there was still a trace of ruthlessness in Su Yue's eyes.

"Don't let me see you lay a hand on Tian Yuwei again, or next time it won't be this simple."

After speaking, Su Yue pulled Tian Yuwei, who was standing trembling beside him and could fall at any moment, and left.

Zhou Nan glared at Su Yue resentfully, his eyes full of unwillingness and anger.

That damn Su Yue, how dare he be so arrogant, he would definitely not let him off.

When Su Yue pressed Tian Yuwei onto the back seat of the electric bike, she was still not fully aware of what was happening.

She looked at Su Yue blankly and asked softly: "Who are you?"

Since Tian Yuwei had already forgotten him once before, and now heard her not recognizing him again, Su Yue was much calmer this time.

He ruffled the hair of Tian Yuwei, who was as obedient as a child, and whispered in her ear like a strange uncle kidnapping children: "I'm the strange uncle who specializes in eating children."
