Chapter 140 Birthday (1)
October 22, 2515, New Calendar, 00:00 in the morning.
Ding Dong.
The doorbell of the villa was rang, and the Su Yian brother and sister, who had not yet fallen asleep, looked at each other, and then Su Yige walked over and opened the door.
"Happy birthday, dear cousin!"
The first thing that caught my eye was a cake, and then Su Yaoyang's head popped out from behind the cake, looking at Su Yige with a smile on his face: "Are you surprised? Are you surprised? I came all the way here just to celebrate your birthday."
"Thank you, cousin." Su Yige smiled slightly.
"Oh, there is no expression of surprise or surprise at all." Su Yaoyang looked at Su Yige speechlessly: "Even if you pretend a little bit, it's okay."
"Thank you, cousin, I am so touched, this is really a surprise, I am so happy." Su Yige said with a smile.
Su Yaoyang rolled his eyes immediately: "Look at you, what have you learned from Su Yian? You are getting better and better at acting."
"You asked me to pretend." Su Yige pretended to be wronged.
"Stop, stop, stop, I'm really scared of you..." Su Yaoyang said quickly: "Where is the cold Yige from before? I really miss the Yige from before."
Su Yige smiled faintly: "Come in."
Su Yaoyang walked in with the cake and looked at Su Yian who was sitting on the sofa: "You guy, you are not prepared at all for your sister's birthday?"
Su Yian looked at him and said: "As a brother, the surprise is of course the last appearance."
"Tsk tsk, I think you are not ready at all." Su Yaoyang put the cake on the coffee table and said with a playful look.
"How is it possible!" Su Yian glared at him and said: "Do I look like that kind of person?"
"Not like, you are." Su Yaoyang smiled.
"Nonsense." Su Yian snorted coldly: "By the way, you came here so late just to celebrate Yi Ge's birthday?"
"What else?" Su Yaoyang looked at him: "The jewel in the crown of our old Su family, how can a brother not love her?"
"And I came here with the blessings of the elders in the family." Su Yaoyang looked at Su Yi Ge: "They can't come, so I am the representative of the family, specially here to celebrate Yi Ge's 18th birthday."
After that, Su Yaoyang took out a few letters from the inner pocket of his arms. He handed the same thing to Su Yige: "This is the birthday greeting from your uncle, this is from your second uncle, this is from your fourth uncle, this is from your eldest aunt, and this is..."
After Su Yaoyang finished speaking, the voice of the artificial intelligence Xiao Ba sounded: "Why is there no third uncle?"
"Third uncle..." Su Yaoyang pulled the corner of his mouth and looked at Su Yian: "Your artificial intelligence is so stupid, you don't even know that the third uncle is your father."
"Xiao Ba, if you don't speak, no one will think you are a fool, really." Su Yian looked at Xiao Ba helplessly and said.
"Oh, I want to be a handsome guy who doesn't speak." After Xiao Ba finished speaking, he decisively closed his mouth.
Su Yian looked at Su Yaoyang, hesitated for a moment and asked: "Did he say anything?"
Su Yaoyang knew who Su Yian was referring to by 'he', and looked at Su Yige, and Su Yige's eyes also had expectations.
With a bitter smile, Su Yaoyang said: "Still the same old way, drinking all day. I went to see him and reminded him that today is Yige's birthday, but he didn't say anything."
"Is that so..." Su Yige's eyes flashed with loneliness. How could he not expect blessings from his father for the coming-of-age ceremony? But the fact is that the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little stagnant, Su Yaoyang hurriedly said: "Don't talk about this for now. Let's light a candle for Yige and sing a song. We'll talk about your surprise later. Give me my surprise first."
Turn off the lights, light candles, sing, make a wish, blow out the candles...
After a process, Su Yaoyang looked at Su Yige with satisfaction: "Congratulations, you are officially an adult from today. I'm curious to ask, what wish did you make?"
"I won't tell you." Su Yige snorted lightly with a smile on his face.
"Okay, okay." Su Yaoyang said helplessly: "Then eat the cake first."
"No, eating so late will make you fat." Su Yige said, and then said to the two of them: "I'm a little sleepy, I'm going to bed first."
She was smart and knew that Su Yaoyang came here not only to celebrate her birthday, but also to tell Su Yian something else. Although the news of Zhou Qiye's defection in the morning was not announced, it was no longer a secret to the family.
"If you are sleepy, go to bed first, and look forward to my surprise for you." Su Yian said with a smile.
"Okay!"
After Su Yige went upstairs, Su Yian cut a piece of cake and asked: "Okay, you can talk now."
"Yige is Yige, I like smart girls. If it weren't for the blood relationship, I would definitely marry Yige as my wife." Su Yaoyang smiled.
"Be careful or your fourth uncle will break your legs."
"Haha, how could that be possible? I was just joking." Su Yaoyang also cut off a piece of cake, tasted it happily and praised: "This cake shop is indeed the best cake shop in Southeast Province. It's worth my reservation half a month in advance."
Su Yian nodded. The cake tasted really good.
"By the way, why did this guy Zhou Qiye suddenly rebel?" Su Yaoyang got to the point: "If he has always been dissatisfied with you and wanted to defect for a long time, how could he stay in the laboratory for so long without being exposed at all? Then he His acting skills are really good.”
"You want to say that he pretended to defect for a certain purpose?" Su Yian looked at him noncommittally, recalling Zhou Qiye's expression and tone last night, but it didn't sound like he was pretending to defect at all.
"No, no, no, I don't have this idea." Su Yaoyang shook his head: "I was just thinking about how this guy's acting skills are so good and he can hide it from everyone."
"After all, everyone in the laboratory has been working together for so many years. I don't believe you if you say there is no emotion at all, but this guy didn't hesitate to defect to the Dongri Alliance with the laboratory information..."
"Let's not talk about him." Su Yian interrupted him: "In short, he will be an enemy from now on. If we can still meet him, I don't mind giving him a ride."
Su Yaoyang nodded: "The cabinet sent someone here today. Do you know who they sent?"
"who?"
"The imperial family, Linhai King Ying Tianxing."
Hearing this, a strange look flashed in Su Yian's eyes: "This prince of the imperial family has never dealt with the cabinet. Rather, because of the original [power seizure], the imperial family and the cabinet were incompatible. How could he do things for the cabinet? "
"Right, I'm also wondering what the people in the cabinet are thinking. They sent a prince here. Aren't they afraid of violating the law? Moreover, King Linhai and the right prime minister have a big hatred, and the right prime minister and the left prime minister have always been quite close. , when the former left prime minister launched the coup to seize power, the teacher of the right prime minister and himself also fully supported it. Just like this, King Linhai actually agreed to the cabinet to send him, maybe there was something wrong with the cabinet. "
"What handle?" Su Yian laughed: "What handle can make this prince put aside his hatred and be willing to work for the cabinet?"
"I don't know." Su Yaoyang shrugged.
"So, did he say anything to you?"
Su Yaoyang said: "I didn't say anything, I just conveyed the cabinet's message, saying that the cabinet was very dissatisfied with what happened to Dongfang Technology. The Prime Minister Zuo seemed very angry, and even said that all the magic engineers in the laboratory should be sent to the empire's magic After saying this, King Linhai left cleanly without even taking a sip of tea. "
"This guy is very rich. He was talking to me with a playing card and his tone was flat. It's hard to tell whether he was dissatisfied with the cabinet sending him here."
"After all, he is also Emperor Yao's uncle. How can an old guy who has lived for ninety-three years not have a deep city?" Su Yian said.
Su Yaoyang felt the same, and Su Yian continued to ask: "How did you respond to him?"
"Me? I didn't say anything." Su Yaoyang shrugged: "What's there to talk about with the people in the cabinet? We both knew what happened at the beginning, and it would be no good for anyone to clarify it."
"And even if the cabinet wants to take action, there have been plenty of opportunities over the years. Why bother worrying about such a trivial matter? There have been traitors in the cabinet, right?"
Su Yian nodded and heard Su Yaoyang continue: "Besides, our Su family has been surviving carefully for so many years. We are afraid of being caught and taken advantage of by the cabinet. It is not an easy task to destroy the Su family. ”
"Their biggest mistake fifteen years ago was not to strike while the iron was hot and defeat the Su family in one fell swoop. Now, fifteen years later, they have no chance."
"By the way, there is information coming back from the Dongri Alliance, saying that after Zhou Qiye went to the Dongri Alliance, he directly entered the Yae family's mansion and has not left until now." Su Yaoyang looked at Su Yian and said: "It seems that he rebelled It’s not like he’s working for the Toni Alliance, but for the Yae family.”
"The Emperor of the Toni Alliance is supreme. The Ten Amaterasu families are just pawns of the Emperor. To serve the Yae family is to serve the Emperor. To serve the Emperor is to serve the entire Toni Alliance. This is nothing."
"Right····"
After a pause, Su Yaoyang spoke again: "The Linan City Government plans to hold a celebration party the night after tomorrow, which can be regarded as a celebration party after the elimination of the alien beasts. The mayor wants Oriental Technology to host the party and invite celebrities from all walks of life to participate. "
"It's said to be a party, but it's actually a salon gathering to get to know each other and find opportunities for cooperation."
"Furthermore, the mayor also said that young magicians were active in fighting against strange beasts this time, so he also plans to invite some younger generations from magic families."
"That's it..." Su Yian's eyes flashed and he looked at Su Yaoyang: "Since you are hosting it, I hope you invite someone."
"who?"
"Zong Jin."
