"I heard you found her." Su Jiacheng observed the man sitting infront of him not wanting to miss any slight change of expression on the latter.
Si Junyan only hummed in acknowledgement showing no intentions of explaining further.
"Holy shit!! Is it true? The lil beauty has been finally found!" Qiu Zheng jumped out of his seat and looked at him with widened eyes.
"How come we aren't aware, third brother. How can you not tell us such important news!" Mu Shao looked at him with a disappointed face.
Their third brother, Si Junyan has had a crush on his childhood best friend but unfortunately, the lil girl seemed to have disappeared overnight sixteen years ago.
Si Junyan did not speak instead kept drinking quietly at their remarks.
Su Jiacheng was discontented seeing his silence as he continued, "So what do you plan to do with your marriage agreement?"
"Still thinking." Si Junyan knew how much Su Jiacheng cared about his cousin.
"There's nothing much to think. Both of you have grown up and changed over years and aren't even close with each other. Now that you are already an adult you can invalidate it instead of waiting for Ranran to turn 18." If he was not his friend ,Su Jiacheng might have strangled him to death by now.
"Second brother is right. By holding onto it you are just stopping her from a lots of possibilities."
"After all our Ranran is still so young. It doesn't look so nice having a fiancee at such a young age."
Mu Shao and Qiu Zheng also chimed in to convince him. They did not want their years of good friendship to be over because of this insignificant thing.
It was a well known fact in the Capital that the five young masters were sworn brothers. Being born in the top families it was only natural for them to grew up together and to be so close with each other. Just that their Big brother Young Master Bai was originally from Country Y although he was born in Country A and spent his first seven years of life here with them.
"The matter of lil Yan is complicated. As for Jiaran, there's still two more years to go. Anything can happen." Si Junyan pressed for the order button as he responded to his brothers.
"Then we will wait for two more years. Junyan, I don't want to make my sister's life any harder. She has already suffered enough." Su Jiacheng knew how stubborn Si Junyan can be. But since his sister has already reassured her he did not pursue the matter further.
"Okay, okay. Let's talk about this later. Let's focus on the main thing why we gathered tonight." Mu Shao threw a glance over Qiu Zheng indicating him to help him out.
" OH, shit! I almost forgot about it. I have a surprise for you guys." Qiu Zheng winked at his brother before taking out his phone and typing something.
" What surprise? We aren't kids anymore ,Fourth brother. What's the need to keep a suspense. Just spit it out." The thing Mu Shao hated the most was being kept in suspense, cause it would cause him stomachache every time he was overconsciously curious..
"Just a few minutes more." Qiu Zheng smirked at him then smiled mysteriously.
Si Junyan and Su Jiacheng just kept a straight face having no interest or whatever the former two were talking about as they were already used to their childish behaviors.
While they waited, the food they ordered were delivered. Mu Shao started eating first to distract himself from being curious.
" Ah... aren't these foods big brother's favorites?" Mu Shao asked Qiu Zheng while shoving one after one spoonfuls in his own mouth.
Just as Qiu Zheng was about to respond the door of the private room opened and a young man entered.
He had an aura seemingly dominating everyone automatically. With his charm it's no doubt he has those rare good genes. The other four men were a bit stunned seeing him and they practically stood up to greet him.
" Big brother, it's been a long time." Mu Shao was the first one to greet him with a hug.
" This is the surprise you were talking about, fourth?" Su Jiacheng swiped a glance at Qiu Zheng then looked back at Bai Yan and smiled gently.
"Big brother." Si Junyan walked towards Bai Yan after everyone was done greeting and they shared hands and hugged slightly before sitting down.
" Indeed a long time. Have missed you all lots. It's on me tonight. " Bai Yan was delighted to meet them. He can barely ever make time to visit Country A. Thanks to Si Junyan preparing for a collaboration ,he was able to make time to come.
....
" Hey, Miss. Mind to have a drink with me? " The man sat beside Yan Shu with a smirk on his face.
Yan Shu ignored him as she sipped on her drink. After visiting Lao Yu's parents she got to know that his sister was now working at this club to provide for her family. Although Lao Yu has left them money and Yan Shu offered them money as Su Mo Jiaran stating that Yan Shu was her sister, they did not take any money, guilty thinking that her sister was also brain-dead right now. She then tried to convince them few times but had no choice but to give up at the end. Then she came to meet his sister after knowing her whereabouts here tonight.
Lao Yu's sister, Lao Yin has always been good at singing and Yan Shu was supposed to help her sign up with their company but well fate....
Now that she's young miss Su, Yan Shu decided to directly sign her with Shengting entertainment.
The place was a bar situated on the ground floor of the Blue Raven Clubhouse, a play house for wealthy heirs. Lao Yin worked as a waitress in the bar and also sings for additional two hours in the night.
Yan Shu waited for her to finish her work before getting her to talk. She didn't bring Ling Mo today instead set a GPS on her phone and screened it on her grandpa's phone before leaving. She was having a good time as Su Mo Jiaran. It doesn't feel like transmigration to her rather she took it as a long vacation and was enjoying quite well.
...
Inside the second floor private room from which the ground floor venue was quite visible through the glass wall one man noticed Yan Shu as he felt her familiar.
" Second brother, isn't that Ranran?" Qiu Zheng always frequented on Su house hence, he was familiar with Su Mo Jiaran. It's more like she had a charming beauty that one glance was enough for one to remember her. So he recognized her as soon as he glanced at the beautiful girl being hovered around with handsome guys.
The other four looked at the sight their fourth brother was looking as well and was stunned. After all, they all knew what kind of person Su Mo Jiaran was and it's not even the last thing they expected. But today after seeing her here they felt like the world turned upside down.
Su Jiacheng did not say anything instead pulled out his phone to call his sister. Soon his call was answered and they saw the lady smiling at the phone call through the glass. Soon, the call ended and Su Jiacheng looked much better than before.
" She said she liked the girl that sings in that bar and wants to help her by signing her with Shengting. So she came to talk to her. She also asked me if I have enough time to pick her up." His radiating smiled shook the others. Su Jiacheng never imagined that his sister will be the active one in the future. Ever since kid, it was always him and his other family members who doted on her, clung onto her. Although she did not like it, she did not deny them but they all understood her too well. Thus, when he saw his sister smiling at his phone call and willingly asked him to pick her up, it was more than enough for him to be happy like a fool. Moreover, he was watching her so he won't let anything happen to her.
The others knew what Su Jiacheng was insinuating so they dropped the idea of anything bad. They were already keeping her under surveillance though.
" Big brother, third brother has found lil Yan!!! Did you know about that?" Mu Shao the big mouth spilled the beans.
Si Junyan still did not say anything but he can feel the gazes pointing at him as he kept eating.
" I wonder, if someone has forgotten that lil Yan is my sister." Bai Yan did not mind that instead focused on eating.
.... On the ground floor, unaware of everything ,Yan Shu just kept drinking and entertained herself by watching at the games others were playing and betting occasionally. She just imagined herself on a vacation and relaxed while enjoying her drink.
