Mercado led them back to the bedroom. Emma followed Suri into the room. Suri sat on the sofa seriously, watching Emma twirling her fingers and looking hesitantly in her eyes. The corners of her mouth couldn't help but raise, and she said bluntly:

"Little Emma, ​​just ask whatever you want to ask."

Emma shook her head anxiously, raised her hands and said: "This is sister's secret. Emma won't tell it if she doesn't ask. Sister, please believe me, I really won't tell it."

Seeing her swearing anxiously, being so sensible, and remembering how carefully she guarded the door just now, it felt so good to treat her sincerely.

Su Rui gently pulled her to his side and sat down, looking at her flattered and pitiful look. Suddenly he wanted to tease her, and his face gradually turned serious.

Emma's whole back was stiff and her eyes were nervous. She was like a frightened little rabbit. Seeing that Suri couldn't hold back her laughter, she comforted him: "I'm teasing you, don't be nervous."

Seeing her slowly relaxing and sitting with a simple smile, Suri said sincerely: "Emma, ​​thank you."

Emma hurriedly waved her hands and said seriously: "Sister, there is no need to thank you. This is what Emma wants to do. Please don't blame Emma for hiding her knowledge of witchcraft, because my mother said that witchcraft will only bring disaster to me.

so……"

When she lowered her head as if she had done something wrong, Su Rui touched her head lightly and said with a smile: "It's okay, this is Emma's private matter, and what your mother said is reasonable and understandable."

"Really? Sister, don't you blame me?"

Looking at her excited eyes, Su Rui smiled and nodded. Suddenly he remembered something, wiped away his smile and asked seriously: "It was said in the ancient city that your mother is sick. Can I ask what kind of disease your mother has?

?”

When talking about this problem, Emma looked sad and sighed softly: "Mom's heart problem started a long time ago, but now it's getting worse. Before going out, she asked me to pray to the God of Dreams in the ancient castle.

Ask the lady to pray and say this is her wish."

"Sister, you know, for me, these five-tael tickets are my mother's hope and wish, and more importantly -" At this point, Emma choked with tears, then wiped them away, and said sincerely: "It's my mother's hope and wish."

I had only the money left. In order to treat my mother's illness, I was already poor, and now I am even more destitute. The only five-star ticket I earned was from selling my own bed. I didn't expect that the price of white roses would increase in the end.

When I was helpless and sad, you helped me. I am really grateful to you."

"Mom said that people should repay kindness and not be ungrateful. This is the basic quality of a person. So in the future, whenever my sister says something or needs Emma, ​​Emma will not hesitate to accept it and will never shirk it."

Her words made Su Rui both distressed and moved.

Suri had a bad feeling. If these conversations appeared in a TV series, almost everyone would have received their lunch box.

However, these are all bloody scenes in TV dramas and should not be taken seriously.

Suri comforted himself, took Emma's hand and said seriously: "Emma, ​​is there anyone else at home?"

Emma shook her head and said: "My father and brother unfortunately passed away when I was working in the pond for a living when I was very young. My mother and I were the only ones left in the family."

"Then your mother is home alone now?"

Seeing her frown, Emma hurriedly shook her head and explained: "No, before I went out, my mother was with Aunt Wang in the next room. Aunt Wang said she would take care of my mother for me."

Su Rui nodded silently and said seriously: "Emma, ​​your mother still needs you. I am protected by Mr. Curry and the others. Go home as soon as possible tomorrow morning. When your mother gets better, you can come to Bai Mansion to find me at any time.

Or when I’m done, I’ll go to District 16 to find you.”

"But mother said-"

Before she could finish her words, Su Rui straightened her body and said sternly: "Emma, ​​sister knows your feelings. You have repaid your kindness. From now on, you and I will be equals. You don't owe me anything, you know?"

?”

Emma was stunned for a moment, then nodded slowly.

Su Rui breathed a sigh of relief, touched her little head lightly, and said meaningfully: "Emma, ​​you have to remember that life, old age, sickness and death are natural laws. Remember that I am here." Although he is someone who needs to be protected, it is very difficult for him to do so.

It's useless, but I am a kind-hearted person and not a villain.

Emma had a simple mind and naturally did not expect the profound meaning of her words. She was simply moved to tears by her words and nodded heavily.

"Well, Emma will remember that."

"So good, so cute." Suri smiled and pinched her cheek lightly, which made Emma smile sheepishly.

"Miss Su Rui, have you gone to bed?" With that, the housekeeper knocked on the door three times.

The reason Suri didn't sleep was because she knew someone would definitely come, but she didn't expect it to be the housekeeper. After a slight start, she was about to get up and open the door when Emma stood up first, ran over and opened the door gently.

The housekeeper followed her side and stepped into the door, holding a classically carved mahogany box in his hands.

Mrs. West's orders?

When Su Rui was guessing, the housekeeper gently placed the red peach wood box on the tea table and said respectfully: "Miss Su Rui, this is a thank you gift from my wife. She said it is important for girls to have money around them."

He probably saw that he wanted to ask Eva Roy for a ten-strip ticket, so he sent the money.

Suri is very sure that she is not a gold digger, nor is she a greedy person, but she does need money. She only has 24k pure gold fingers in her pocket now, and she feels really penniless.

Seeing her hesitation, the housekeeper smiled and said, "Miss Su Rui, I am not here. Miss Windsor is the backbone of Lanshu City, so these are all worthy of you."

Suri glanced at Emma, ​​thinking that she was too embarrassed to do it now, but would have to be shameless to make money if she didn't have money in the future. She stopped worrying about it and said sincerely: "Thank you to Mrs. West for me. This is Suri's best choice."

needs."

The housekeeper nodded with a smile and then left, closing the door gently.

Su Rui opened the wooden box and looked at the stacks of 100-yuan notes inside, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

"I'm finally no longer a pauper, and it feels good to have money."

While talking, Suri picked up a bundle of earmarks and took the hand of Emma who was stunned.

Emma was surprised and said: "Sister, this is 10,000 earmarks. Do you want to give it to me?"

"Yes." Su Rui replied simply and clearly, closing the wooden box lightly, her words and actions all natural and relaxed.

Emma's hands felt heavy.

Su Rui knew that she was going to start talking about this and that again, so he quickly put the words in front of her and said: "Take it as long as I tell you to. Without you guarding the outside of the room, how can I solve the problem with peace of mind, and you don't need to

, your mother needs it too, don’t worry about it, put it away quickly.”

"Knock, knock, knock"

Three more knocks were heard outside the door.

"Put it away quickly, money should not be exposed." Under Suri's urging, Emma quickly stuffed the receipts into the sack and crossbody bag, then glanced at Suri, and trotted over to open the door with her nod.

Is it Yom, Lilia, or Lord Curry this time?

Or is it Wendy who came to induce hair growth for herself?

When Su Rui was guessing, the door slowly opened, and the person at the door surprised her.

Butler? He went and came back. Is it time for dinner?
