Chapter 133 Support
On the way to Xin's house, Duan Huaijin sent a message to Yu Chucheng.
Duan Huaijin: [I'm not going to work today. Let's have dinner together in the apartment tonight. I'll cook whatever you want.]
Yu Chucheng leaned against the car window, and an invisible string in his heart was gently plucked.
Yu Chucheng: [Wouldn't it be too obvious to go to the apartment? Let's go to a restaurant. I know a restaurant that's in a pretty secluded location, and it has limited seats, so it's only open to acquaintances right now.]
Duan Huaijin: [Okay, I’ll do as you say.]
Yu Chucheng put away his phone, rested his chin on his palm, and looked out the window at the street scene passing by.
The weather in Kyoto has not been very good recently. It was gloomy today as well, with very low air pressure. I always felt like it was going to rain in the next second.
It was exactly twelve o'clock noon when the car stopped in front of Xin Yihan's house.
Xin Yihan went out to greet Yu Chucheng, and the two walked side by side across the stone path in the yard.
In the restaurant on the first floor of the Xin family's house, there were several people sitting at the long table. Before Yu Chucheng could glance over, a voice with an unfriendly tone rang out.
"Why are there guests today?"
Yu Chucheng looked in the direction of the voice and saw the person speaking was a boy who looked about the same age as Xin Yihan. The boy had very thin lips and single eyelids, and his facial features combined gave him a sarcastic feeling.
Sitting next to him was a slightly bloated middle-aged man, and opposite him was a woman who looked very similar to Xin Yihan.
Yu Chucheng had never heard that Xin Yihuan had a brother, so this boy was most likely the illegitimate son that Xin Yihuan had mentioned who was favored by his father recently.
Sure enough, Xin Yihan tilted his head and whispered to Yu Chucheng, "This is the person I told you about."
The situation in the Xin family is ridiculous enough that an illegitimate child can enter the house and eat at the same table with them, and even speak to them in the tone of the host.
Father Xin recognized Yu Chucheng. Before this, he had only heard Xin Yihan say that a friend would come to visit at noon, and he didn't take it seriously. He didn't expect that the friend Xin Yihan was talking about was the second young master of the Yu family.
"Go, hurry up and get another pair of bowls and chopsticks!" Father Xin hurriedly called the aunt at home.
Yu Chucheng sat next to Xin Yihan, just diagonally opposite the illegitimate child.
The illegitimate son's eyes revealed disdain and ridicule. He rarely had the opportunity to come into contact with the real upper class, so he did not know Yu Chucheng and thought that Yu Chucheng was the boyfriend brought back by Xin Yihan.
"Hey, are you a Beta or an Omega? How come I can't smell any pheromones at all? Are you a low-level Omega?"
Generally speaking, no matter it is Alpha or Omega, even if they do not actively emit pheromones, there will be a little smell on their clothes and personal items, but the amount is very small, and even if others smell it, it will not have any impact.
However, there was not even a trace of Omeg scent on Yu Chucheng's body.
Father Xin glared at the boy fiercely, but unfortunately the boy was completely immersed in the excitement of humiliating others from a superior position and didn't see it at all.
"What gender I am has nothing to do with you?" Yu Chucheng turned around and said to Xin Yihan in surprise, "Didn't you say that you only invited me for lunch today? How come there are other outsiders?"
"You..." The illegitimate son was choked by Yu Chucheng. It felt like his throat was blocked by a ball of cotton. He could neither swallow nor spit out. He felt very uncomfortable as he was stuck in the middle.
Father Xin apologized with a smile, "He doesn't know anything and just talks nonsense. Young Master Yu, don't bother with him."
Yu Chucheng raised his eyebrows, "Of course not."
He doesn't have the time to argue with such people.
At the dinner table, Father Xin's eyes never left Xin Yihan and Yu Chucheng.
The Yu family is a family he wants to get close to no matter how hard he tries.
Although the Chamber of Commerce has great power and all projects have to be approved by the Chamber of Commerce, the president of the Chamber of Commerce recently got into trouble, and he is a little hesitant to do anything unnecessary with the people in the Chamber of Commerce.
At the moment, the Yu family seems to be a better choice. As the saying goes, a wise bird chooses the right tree to roost in. If you stand on the right side, you can save yourself many years of hard work.
Father Xin thought happily, and his attitude towards Xin Yihuan was much better than usual, "Yihuan, ask Master Yu to come to our house more often in the future."
Xin Yihan responded in a low voice, and then asked casually: "Is Grandpa feeling better recently? When does the doctor say he can be discharged from the hospital?"
"It will be soon. We can bring him back to recuperate at the end of this month."
The illegitimate son couldn't sit still when he heard this. He snorted and said to Xin Yihan, "Instead of asking about Grandpa's situation, why don't you do something more practical? If I hadn't gotten through the Chamber of Commerce, would our new contract have been approved so quickly?"
He deliberately raised his voice so that Yu Chucheng could also hear that he had the support of people from the Chamber of Commerce.
Father Xin glanced at Yu Chucheng in panic and said to the boy seriously, "Shut up."
This is a sensitive period, how can we talk about things like building relationships openly?
Yu Chucheng looked indifferent, and praised without any care, "Then you are really amazing."
"What do you mean?" The illegitimate child threw down his chopsticks. "Who do you think you are? Why are you being so sarcastic here?"
Xin Yihan's heart tightened and his expression suddenly turned ugly.
But before Xin Yihan could say anything, Xin's father slammed the table first, "Bang!"
The restaurant suddenly became quiet.
It was the first time that the illegitimate son saw his father so angry, so he shut up silently and stopped talking.
Father Xin's blood surged up and down, his chest rose and fell violently, and he was so angry that he felt dizzy and dazed. He pointed at the door and said to the boy, "Get out."
The illegitimate son turned pale, his eyes widened in disbelief, "Father, Father..."
"Get out!" Father Xin coughed forcefully a few times, and clenched his fists on the table. "I asked you to come to my house for dinner today because I was in a good mood, not because I wanted you to throw chopsticks and make a face at the table! Don't make me repeat it a second time, get out!"
All the blood in the illegitimate son's body rushed to his head. He was overwhelmed by indescribable embarrassment. He stared at Yu Chucheng closely. He really couldn't figure out who the other party was and why his father was so biased towards him.
But even if he was very dissatisfied, he didn't dare to express it in public. After all, he was just an illegitimate child who could be deprived of living expenses at any time.
After the boy was driven out with a sullen face, Yu Chucheng raised his eyelids and said, "I thought Xin Yihan was the only son of the Xin family. It turns out that he has brothers."
Father Xin looked away awkwardly, completely losing the momentum he had when he ordered his illegitimate son just now. "I'm sorry to have made a fool of myself in front of Master Yu. This... was indeed a mistake I made when I was young. Today was an accident, but it won't happen again in the future. Our family still knows what's going on."
After dinner, Xin Yihan took Yu Chucheng to visit their home.
"Thank you for today." Xin Yihan said sincerely, "My grandfather will help me deal with this matter when he comes back."
"I didn't do anything. That person was just too arrogant and brought shame upon himself." Yu Chucheng followed Xin Yihan to the yard at the back.
Xin Yihuan's mother likes gardening. She has planted many flowers and plants in the yard, which are well maintained. There are several small bowls neatly placed at the base of the wall, which contain water and food.
"Do you have a cat at home?" Yu Chucheng became interested.
Xin Yihan looked at the things in the corner and said, "Ah, no, we don't have any small animals at home. But there are a lot of stray cats nearby that often crawl into our yard, so my mother prepared some food in the yard. She likes cats very much."
Yu Chucheng asked: "Then why not buy one?"
While eating, he discovered that Xin Yihan's mother was quiet and elegant, spoke in a soft voice, and seemed to have a very gentle personality.
Xin Yihan smiled bitterly, "We had one several years ago, but it got sick and we spent a lot of money but couldn't save it. My mother was very sad and blamed herself. She never dared to keep a cat again after that."
Yu Chucheng lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, "Then are you willing to adopt a stray dog? I rescued it before, and it is now receiving treatment at the pet hospital. If you are willing to give it a home, it will be considered as giving it a second life."
Xin Yihan's eyes lit up. "If that's the case, we're willing to adopt it. I'll tell my mother about it later. She'll definitely be very happy."
