Chapter 50: Just Wanted to Lie Flat and Slack Off

Su Mo Er walked over, her face wearing a sweet smile. “Oh, Sister. Come taste Auntie Wang’s dishes. They’re really delicious.”

Su Qian flicked her gaze at Su Mo Er. What a childish move.

Old Master Su did not notice anything strange at all. He said happily, “Qian Qian, come taste these dishes. They’re all your favorites.”

Su Qian looked at the table full of dishes sprinkled with cilantro and honestly had no appetite. She forced a smile. “Grandfather, I’m not very hungry. You all eat.”

Su Yi Chen frowned. “Auntie Wang, what’s going on? Didn’t I say not to add cilantro?”

Auntie Wang stammered, not knowing how to answer.

Su Mo Er cut in right then. “Brother, you remembered wrong, didn’t you? I remember Sister likes cilantro the most.”

Su Qian did not speak. She only watched Su Mo Er put on her show.

Only then did Old Master Su sense the atmosphere was off. He frowned slightly. “Qian Qian doesn’t like cilantro, so take these dishes away. Auntie Wang, remake a few dishes Qian Qian likes.”

Auntie Wang hurriedly agreed and rushed to the kitchen.

Su Mo Er watched that scene, extremely dissatisfied.

Su Qian, on the other hand, still looked calm. The corners of her mouth lifted now and then, and it only made Su Mo Er feel more suffocated. Su Mo Er glared at her angrily.

The family’s atmosphere became a little delicate.

To ease the awkwardness, Old Master Su started chatting. “Qian Qian, I called you back this time mainly because I want to arrange a position for you in the company.”

Su Qian paused, looking at him with surprise.

“Grandfather, I’m pretty lazy. I don’t like going to work.” Su Qian said her thoughts directly.

Old Master Su smiled. “It’s our own company. It’s more flexible. I’ll have Yi Chen guide you. You’re a child of the Su Family. It’s time you slowly start taking over the family business.”

Su Qian’s head started aching.

Go to work at Su Group?

Wouldn’t that mean she had no freedom?

They said it was their own company and more flexible, but wouldn’t every move she made be right under their eyes?

That would be very inconvenient.

“Yeah, Qian Qian.” Su Yi Chen also persuaded her from the side. “I already discussed it with Grandfather and our parents. You can start as an assistant first, and I’ll guide you little by little.”

Su Qian shook her head quickly. “I’m not interested in the company’s business. I just want to be a clueless big miss and lie flat. That’s pretty good.”

Even without relying on the Su Family’s glow…

She could still shine on her own.

The pharmaceutical factory had already started. Given time, it would definitely achieve something.

Old Master Su looked at how determined Su Qian was and sighed softly.

Still, he respected her choice. “Alright, Qian Qian. Grandfather won’t force you. Do whatever you want. As long as you’re happy, that’s enough. But if you change your mind later, the company will always welcome you back.”

Su Qian felt warm inside. “Thank you, Grandfather.”

She did not want to stay on this topic.

Su Qian quickly changed the subject. “Grandfather, you look a lot better than last time.”

Old Master Su smiled with relief. “Haha, yes. It’s thanks to the pills Yi Chen brought back from the auction last time.”

“Exactly. Those pills were unbelievably magical.”

Su Mo Er also chimed in, her tone carrying a hint of showing off. “The beauty-enhancing pill Brother bid for me worked so well.”

After she said that, she also shot Su Qian a faintly provocative look.

Mother Su echoed her. “Yes. This beauty-enhancing pill is even better than any skincare product.”

Su Qian looked at the smug mother and daughter and could not help finding it a little funny. She said in a flat tone, “Oh? Is that so?”

Seeing Su Qian’s completely indifferent attitude, Su Mo Er felt even more displeased.

She thought Su Qian was deliberately ignoring her.

“This kid Yi Chen is too inconsiderate. He didn’t even think to give Qian Qian one.” Old Master Su looked slightly unhappy.

“Grandfather… I…” Su Yi Chen felt completely wronged.

He had planned to give one to Su Qian right away.

But Su Qian had refused him.

“Grandfather, don’t blame Brother.” Su Qian spoke up. “Brother offered it to me, but I didn’t need it, so I refused.”

After hearing Su Qian, Old Master Su sighed. “Qian Qian, you’re just too sensible. And Yi Chen too. In the future, if you have something good, you need to think of Qian Qian more.”

Su Yi Chen nodded quickly. “Grandfather, I understand.”

Su Mo Er listened from the side, and she felt terrible.

She felt Grandfather always favored Su Qian, and now Brother was treating Su Qian better and better too.

She could not help muttering, “Grandfather, you’re biased toward Sister.”

“Qian Qian suffered so much outside for so many years. It’s only right that I care about her more.” Old Master Su said with tenderness.

Su Mo Er was not convinced inside, but she did not dare argue again.

“I really don’t know who that auction seller is. Up to now, no one has leaked any information at all.” Old Master Su sighed.

Su Qian’s expression did not change.

“Grandfather, do you still need other pills?” she asked.

Old Master Su paused, and then a spark of light flashed through his eyes. “Something this good—these days, everyone in the circle is asking around.”

“Grandfather, wait a moment.”

After Su Qian spoke, she quickly walked over to the sofa and rummaged through her bag.

“You child, always rushing around.” Old Master Su said that, but his eyes were full of indulgence.

Su Yi Chen also watched Su Qian curiously, not knowing what she was looking for.

Su Mo Er curled her lips and silently muttered to herself, wondering what Su Qian was trying to do now.

Before long, Su Qian took out a delicate little box from her bag.

She returned to the dining table and handed the box to Old Master Su. “Grandfather, take a look at this.”

Old Master Su took the box and opened it. Inside were several round pills, giving off a faint, clean fragrance.

“This is…”

Old Master Su stared at Su Qian in shock.

Su Yi Chen and Su Mo Er also widened their eyes, their faces full of disbelief.

Su Qian smiled slightly. “These are lung-cleansing pill, vision-clearing pill, and heart-nourishing pill.”

“Qian Qian, you… where did you get so many pills?” Old Master Su asked in amazement.

Just one of them would be enough for people to fight over.

At the auction, they had even sold for a sky-high price—one million per pill.

Su Qian tilted her head slightly and said playfully, “A friend gave them to me. Anyway, I can’t use them, so I thought I’d bring them to you, Grandfather.”

That sentence stunned everyone at the table even harder.

“Someone… gave them to you?” Mother Su gaped, her face full of disbelief.

“Hmph. You’re bragging, aren’t you?” Su Mo Er snorted, clearly not buying it.

Everyone knew how precious these pills were now.

You could say it was ‘nearly impossible to get even one.’

What kind of friend would be so generous?
