Chapter 70

Brothers, can you give a bit more support?

————————————————

Su Ke didn't dress up much, just a very pure look, wearing a white long dress, elegant like a blooming lotus. It's widely acknowledged that Su Zhuang is a place that produces beautiful women. As a flower in Su Zhuang, Su Ke still holds a prominent position even at Jiang University.

Beside Su Ke were two other women. The one on the left had a tall figure, and even standing next to Su Mu, she didn't appear any shorter. She wore a white fitted short-sleeved shirt on top and a long seven-eighths length denim skirt on the bottom. A pair of transparent crystal high heels made her figure even more slender.

What most caught Su Mu's eye was that the girl's face was cold and beautiful, and her eyes exuded a sense of superiority.

"Brother, this is Wei Man!" Su Ke said with a smile.

The one standing on the right emitted a completely different aura compared to Wei Man. She wore a small tank top and a super short mini skirt, with her exposed toes painted a bright red. Although her figure wasn't as tall as Wei Man's, it was extremely well-proportioned, with a standard S-shaped curve.

Especially her fair skin and the flirtatious eyes that seemed to be constantly sending electric signals gave off a fox spirit vibe. Of course, compared to Zhou Ci, she was still a level lower. That mature woman's charm isn't something just anyone can match.

"Brother, this is Wen Li."

Su Ke smiled and took both of their hands, "They are my best friends at Jiang University, so since you're treating us, I brought them along. Is that okay?"

"Of course it's okay, even if you bring the whole dorm, it's fine!" Su Mu smiled.

"Wei Man, Wen Li, this is my brother, Su Mu, who I told you about!" Su Ke introduced.

"I've heard Ke Ke say she has a very handsome brother. I didn't expect him to be so handsome today. So, handsome guy, where are you planning to take us for a meal?" Wen Li said with a coquettish smile, acting very familiar.

"Anywhere! Wherever you want to eat, we'll go there." Su Mu said casually.

"In that case, handsome guy, let's go to the Di Hao at the school gate?" Wen Li said with a smile, giving off an innocent vibe.

If it were someone unfamiliar, they would definitely be fooled by Wen Li's appearance, but who is Su Mu? He's from Jiang University and knows the place well. The Di Hao Hotel is not just a good place near Jiang University; it's one of the best in the entire Shengjing City, a high-end restaurant. A meal there would easily cost over a thousand.

"Wen Li..."

Su Ke was about to say something but was interrupted by Su Mu, who lovingly patted her head and smiled, "I promised to treat you to a big meal, so I will. Let's go, it's been a while since I've been to Di Hao. I'll see if my old acquaintances are still there."

"Brother, it's very expensive there." Su Ke whispered, feeling a bit regretful. She knew Wen Li liked to tease people, but she didn't expect her to start teasing Su Mu right away. She knew Su Mu's situation; he didn't have that much money.

"Shall we change the place?" Wen Li asked with a smile.

"No need, if we said Di Hao, then it's Di Hao!" Su Mu took Su Ke's hand and turned to walk out of the school, leaving Wen Li with a slightly pouting lip.

"Really, if you don't have money, don't pretend to be rich. I was just joking, and you took it seriously!" Wen Li muttered.

"Stop grumbling, let's go. Su Ke's brother isn't as simple as you think." Wei Man said calmly.

Wei Man knew Wen Li well. Although she sometimes spoke harshly, she wasn't bad at heart. Compared to Su Ke, both of them had a more superior background. But from the start of the school year, they had gotten along well with Su Ke and even became good sisters, which showed that Wen Li didn't have many bad intentions.

In fact, if it weren't for Wen Li, there would be more people at Jiang University who would try to take advantage of Su Ke. It was all because of Wen Li that a group of self-important flies had been driven away.

The Di Hao Club was just one street away from Jiangnan University, and it didn't take long to walk there. Since it was almost noon, the place was already full of people. While other restaurants were struggling to stay in business, Di Hao was thriving, thanks to its excellent food and strong background.

It was said that Di Hao had a powerful backer in Shengjing, which is why people from all walks of life came to support it. Su Mu wasn't familiar with this, as he had only worked part-time at Di Hao. Given his status at the time, it was impossible for him to know such inside information.

Su Mu and the others were lucky; as soon as they arrived, someone left, and they easily found a private room. After sitting down, Su Mu smiled and picked up the menu.

"Three beautiful ladies, please order. I know the food at Jiang University's cafeteria hasn't changed in a hundred years. Today, you can order whatever you want, and I'll pay for it!"

"Really?" Wen Li asked with a smile.

"Of course!" Su Mu said, "Just treat me like a nouveau riche and take advantage of me."

Knowing that Wen Li, Wei Man, and Su Ke had a good relationship, Su Mu was happy to strengthen their friendship. He could see that both Wei Man and Wen Li came from good families, so he wanted to create a good environment for Su Ke, making her feel more at ease around them.

Although Su Mu was aware that if Wen Li and Wei Man treated Su Ke coldly because of her family background, they wouldn't be as harmonious as they were now. But since Su Mu wasn't short of money, there was no need for Su Ke to feel uncomfortable because of financial constraints.

"Let's eat. My brother is already working and in the government, so he can afford it." Su Ke said with a playful smile, never revealing Su Mu's true identity, fearing that others might misunderstand her. Besides, someone like Su Mu wasn't rare in Shengjing.

"Is that so? How much can a small civil servant earn? This meal will cost you a month's salary, right? I hope we won't eat you out of house and home. If that happens, don't worry, I'll definitely find you a wife." Wen Li said with a big smile.

"Boring!" Wei Man said coldly.

"Why is it boring? I'm thinking about our big brother Su's lifelong happiness." Wen Li loudly countered, used to Wei Man's coldness.

"If that's the case, why don't you just marry him?" Wei Man said calmly.

"Sure, why not? Handsome guy, what do you think? Consider me?" Wen Li said boldly.

Hearing Wen Li's bold words, Su Mu suddenly felt a bit disoriented. What was this? When he was in college, even if some girls were wild, none were as exaggerated as Wen Li. Had he fallen behind the times?

"Alright, stop bickering and order some food. I'm starving." Su Ke said with a smile, always playing the peacemaker between Wei Man and Wen Li. She knew they wouldn't have a big fight, but she didn't want to see them constantly arguing.

Su Mu enjoyed this atmosphere. As the dishes flowed in, he savored the relaxed and pleasant moment. Although Wen Li's mouth was sharp, the dishes she ordered weren't expensive. The whole meal would cost at most a few hundred yuan.

Perhaps because of this, Wen Li started drinking with Su Mu, downing bottle after bottle of beer without blinking, which surprised Su Mu.

This Wen Li is not simple!

Su Mu's ability to read people was honed in the political arena. He could discover many things from small details. For example, Wen Li seemed very bold and casual, but she wouldn't let anyone take advantage of her. And how many women could drink beer like water?

Most importantly, this girl was only in her first year of college.

"Wen Li, drink less." Su Ke advised.

"Ke Ke, I'm falling in love with your brother at first sight. We really hit it off, so don't try to stop me. I'm happy. Come on, handsome guy, let's have another round." Wen Li said with a flirtatious smile.

"Sure!"

Su Mu shook his head helplessly. His face might look young, but he didn't think he deserved to be teased by a little girl.

"Ke Ke, don't worry, she'll be fine. Besides, there's no class this afternoon, so let her drink." Wei Man shook her head slightly, signaling Su Ke not to interfere.

"But... fine, let her drink."

Su Ke finally stopped trying to persuade her, knowing that Wen Li was letting off steam. She had been holding in her frustrations for a long time, and if she didn't release them, it would cause problems.

All because of that bastard, who dared to deceive Wen Li's feelings. Not only did he secretly date other women, but when caught, he even defended the woman, scolding Wen Li and saying she was the one who pursued him and constantly bothered him. The reason he did this was because the woman could bring him a so-called future.

"I can't handle it anymore, I need to go to the bathroom. Wait for me, and we'll continue drinking when I come back."

Wen Li got up and staggered out of the room. Su Mu gestured for Su Ke to follow her, knowing that in her state, she might not even find the bathroom.

When only the two of them were left in the room, Su Mu smiled and raised his glass, "Wei Man, right? Ke Ke has been well taken care of at school, so I'm raising this glass to you."

"No need, I like Ke Ke's purity, and I would be friends with her even if you didn't say anything." Wei Man said bluntly.

This girl really didn't know what politeness was. Su Mu shook his head helplessly and didn't continue to persuade her, instead finishing his drink in one go.

"However, I still thank you."

"Ke Ke said you work in the government? Where?" Wei Man hesitated and asked.

"That's right, in the government, in a town in our county." Su Mu smiled.

"Okay..." Wei Man didn't ask any more, showing no interest in a town-level civil servant like Su Mu.

They sat there in silence. When Su Mu had almost finished a bottle of beer, he noticed that Wen Li and Su Ke hadn't returned. Just as he was about to get up to check, the door suddenly opened, revealing a nervous waitress.

"Quick, go out and check. Your two young ladies got into trouble and were beaten up!"
