Chapter 219: Chapter 219 Dad Doesn’t Love, Mom Doesn’t Care

Su Yi felt a bit panicked, looking at the handsome man before him. He pursed his lips, his voice cautious, "Brother, you can blame me for anything, I was too careless this time."

Su Zhe didn’t say a word, just looked at the fellow in front of him who seemed to have grown up without him noticing, feeling somewhat helpless and a bit sympathetic toward this foolish child.

He didn’t know whether to say his brain was bad or his thoughts were simple. If it was about brains, he had managed to get accepted to a world-class university, but if it was about simplicity... it wasn’t just stupidity that had allowed Zhu Xinyan and Su Jiao to deceive him for so many years!

"The car you ordered should arrive in a month or so, and I have also arranged a position for you at the company. Once you return to the country, go report in, so that Su Yukan won’t arrange anything randomly for you. He doesn’t even know whether you are a round peg or a square peg, so whatever he arranges is bound to be nonsensical," Su Zhe said.

He essentially repeated himself because he had already expressed this succinctly before, but Su Yi clearly seemed not to have understood.

It wasn’t that he hadn’t understood, but more that he found it somewhat unbelievable.

From a young age, although Su Yi used to disrespect Su Lu constantly, he had much respect and even admiration for Su Zhe.

While he merely revered Su Yukan, he worshipped Su Zhe.

But he also knew that in this family, Su Zhe only treated Su Lu well; even his own sister, Su Jiao couldn’t coax a smile from him, let alone him, Su Yi.

As a result, Su Yi had gotten used to his cold demeanor. Thus, seeing Su Zhe suddenly showing a smiling face and even bearing gifts... Su Yi’s first reaction wasn’t joy but rather a sense of panic, always feeling that there was something abnormal brewing.

"Why... why suddenly buy me a car...?" Su Yi uncertainly asked.

Su Zhe heaved a light sigh, "When Su Lu graduated, I bought her a car, and now that you’re graduating, I’m buying you one too. Is there anything wrong with that?"

Su Yi muttered, "But that’s Su Lu..."

Ever since they were young, whatever Su Zhe gave to her never seemed strange. As always, what Su Lu got, Su Jiao might not necessarily have, but if Su Jiao had something, Su Zhe would somehow make sure Su Lu had it too.

"Su Jiao has one too, bought by Su Yukan. What? Are all the Su Family’s children not equal? Should only you be mistreated?" Su Zhe frowned, "Just take it. A grown man being so finicky and sentimental about it..."

Su Yi awkwardly scratched his head, "Ah, um... Thanks, bro."

"Don’t thank me yet. When you return, you need to report at the company. You’ll work for me, and I’ll exploit your labor until it’s worth the value of this car before you can leave," Su Zhe added.

But Su Yi had already started chuckling. He had always wanted to work at Su Zhe’s company and was more than willing to be exploited by him, "Then you’ll have to exploit me for several years..."

Su Zhe reached out and gently patted him on the shoulder.

Actually, it wasn’t supposed to be so soon that he paid this much attention to this guy, especially with the current issues involving Su Lu already being enough of a headache.

However, after talking with Zhao Ying, Su Zhe realized that Su Yi really hadn’t had it easy.

It was unbelievable.

His biological parents had been separated from their son for such a long time, and it’s truly ridiculous how they had been indifferent about taking him back just because they learned he hadn’t treated Su Lu well these past years!

Then, Su Zhe thought about it for a moment, realizing that over the years, neither Zhu Xinyan nor Su Yukan truly cared for him, and Su Jiao wasn’t genuinely kind to him either, and he himself had always rather ignored him. Now even his biological parents were acting like this.

After all was said and done, the only one who truly cared for him was Su Lu, yet this fool had managed to disappoint the one person who sincerely cared for him throughout all these years.

Su Zhe almost couldn’t swallow this realization, but thinking that the young boy wasn’t having an easy time either, and was after all grown up, he had still arranged a car for him, just as he had done when Su Lu graduated.

As a result, Su Yi was overly flattered and then became a bit anxious, speaking with newfound care.

Only now did he relax a bit, happily browsing online for images of the new car model.

Regardless of how grown up he appeared, he was still just a kid.

Su Zhe turned towards Su Lu, "You were never this restless back then."

At these words, Su Yi stiffened and coughed lightly as he turned off his smartphone screen.

Su Lu held her cup of tea and smiled faintly, "It’s different for me. I never had much interest in cars, so of course, I wasn’t as excited. Boys love cars, and it’s normal for them to be happier. Besides, doesn’t that give you more of a sense of accomplishment in giving gifts? I remember you were a bit disappointed back then because I wasn’t excited enough or too agitated."

Su Zhe nodded, "Alright then."

Su Yi felt reassured and couldn’t help but sneak a glance at Su Lu. He had instinctively disliked her and thus avoided paying her much attention.

But, having recently adjusted his attitude, he found himself involuntarily caring about her, naturally paying more attention as well.

This led to him discovering many admirable qualities in her that he had never understood before. She wasn’t sweet-talkative or good at acting coquettishly, yet how come his big brother cherished her so much?

After this period of interaction and observation, Su Yi discovered many previously unnoticed aspects of her.

For instance, although she wasn’t prone to flattery or being overly endearing, it was precisely because of this that she always seemed genuine, making her words seem more persuasive. Moreover, interacting with her was comfortable, and her behavior made those around her feel at ease.

Being by her side felt comfortable. Talking and chatting with her felt comfortable, even just sitting quietly felt comfortable.

She was someone who could make the people around her feel at ease—a truly invaluable trait.

Thinking this, Su Yi unlocked his phone screen and handed it to Su Lu so she could see the photo, his expression unmistakably joyful, "Looks good, right? When we get back, I’ll take you for a drive."

Su Lu smiled and nodded, "Sure, since you’ve mentioned it, I’ll cover the costs for interior and exterior modifications. I’m looking forward to our drive."

Su Yi lifted his chin, his expression even more delighted, as if confirming his feelings that she truly was a person who made others feel comfortable. Even though he still felt a bit awkward around Su Lu, it was no major issue—similar to the awkwardness many younger brothers feel around their older sisters.

"Thanks, sis!" Su Yi exclaimed.

Su Zhe waved him off, "Alright, scram, your sister and I still have things to discuss."

Su Yi stood up, "Okay, okay, adults are talking, kids shouldn’t butt in, right? I’m off to the hospital to see Ying Xi and show him my car; he’s always wanted it but could never get a reservation!"

After Su Yi had left, Su Lu’s eyes moved from the door back to Su Zhe, she gently asked, "Brother, what did you want to talk to me about?"
