If one must describe Su Ruobai's current mood, there are only two words that can describe it—haha.

After returning home with Wenhao in his later years, he saw two people at the door whom he didn't want to see at all.

Su Jiacheng and Su Qiaoqiao stood side by side. Su Jiacheng, who was technically their second uncle, had a fake smile that curled at the corners of his mouth. Standing beside him, Su Qiaoqiao, who was half a head shorter, looked at Su Ruobai and exchanged a contemptuous and mocking smile.

"Ruo Bai," Su Jiacheng revealed a kind smile. "Your sister and I have come to see you."

Su Ruobai chuckled inwardly, but reflexively responded with a faint smile on her face, "Uncle Er, thank you for visiting me."

A hint of relief flashed across Su Jiacheng's eyes. "No need to thank me. I know I didn't visit you for so long after you got married. I'm glad you don't blame me."

Su Ruobai's expression softened when he heard the words, his eyes filled with tenderness as he pursed his lips into a gentle smile. However, when his gaze met Su Qiaoqiao's, he seemed startled and quickly averted his eyes, the curve of his lips downturned significantly. He appeared unsure and vulnerable, evoking sympathy from those who witnessed.

The two other men present looked in the same direction as him, and Su Qiaoqiao's face turned incredibly ugly.

Wen Wannian walked over to Su Ruobai's side, standing slightly behind him. Like a guardian angel, he said to Su Jiacheng, "Mr. Su."

"Xiaowen," Su Jiacheng nodded with a feigned sense of relief. "Since Bai will be staying at our house, I'll count on you to take care of her."

"If Bai didn't need my concern in the first place," Wen Nian said, finishing his sentence and then politely asked, "Would you like to come inside and sit?"

Su Jiacheng nodded, "Alright, then I will bother Qi Qi for a while."

Wen Wannian and Su Ruobai welcomed the father and daughter, who had unclear intentions, into the small villa. They didn't ignore the mockery and disdain that flashed in Su Qiaoqiao's eyes when she entered the villa. Su Ruobai's eyes flickered slightly, and he gently walked to Wen Wannian's side, like a wounded little beast losing its protection, pitiable to the extreme.

Wen Wannian casually glanced at Su Qiaoqiao's face, filled with disdain, without leaving any trace.

"To be honest, I actually came this time with something to ask you all." Su Jiacheng settled down, feeling quite relaxed, and cast a loving gaze toward Su Ruobai. "I heard that Ruobai has started working outside?"

Su Ruobai's heart sank, a cold light flashed deep in her pupils.

Heh, today is only his first day at work, and he already can't sit still?

On the surface, Wen Nian and Su Ruobai locked eyes for a moment, seemingly confused.

Su Jiacheng realized that his question was rather abrupt, so he quickly said, "Isn't it true that a friend told me that they received Ruobai's job application? After all, Ruobai has never worked before, so I, as his second uncle, can't possibly feel at ease with such a sudden job application. That's why I came to take a look."

This statement is really considerate, both inside and out, it's all for the sake of Su Ruobai.

Suppressing the mockery in her heart, Su Ruobai excitedly tugged at Wen Yuan's sleeve and said to Su Jiacheng, "Actually, it's nothing. I just feel that Wen Yuan shouldn't have to earn a living and support the family all by himself..."

"That's too hasty of you, elder brother!" The girl's sharp voice sounded, "Look at you, you can't do anything, you've been a pampered child your whole life. Now, all of a sudden, you decide to work. Who would want you? Even if someone wants you, you're still clumsy in everything you do. You might as well let Mr. Wen take care of you."

With every word she spoke, Su Ruobai's face grew paler. By the time she finished, Su Ruobai had already shrunk completely behind Wen Wannian, keeping her head lowered, silent.

Wen Wannian squinted his eyes.

Even though I know the other party is just faking it, it's still a bit irritating to see the little pitiful one being bullied like this.
