"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law..."
Yu Zhen jumped out of the door, but stopped abruptly when he saw Lorna Ya, clasping his hands tightly to his sides and standing there as punishment.
"What kind of behavior is this, shouting and yelling?"
There was not a trace of anger in Lorna Ya's beautiful eyes. She nodded at him as if she were only saying this to someone else.
"Okay, Mom."
Yu Zhen ignored him completely, instantly reverting to his original self. He greeted Lin Ling and Grandpa Yu with a grin, then plopped down next to Zhou Siyu, pulling on his arm and pouting, "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, I want to drink the tea you poured too."
"You have no manners! Can't you pour it yourself? Your sister-in-law just sat down..."
"No, the tea your sister-in-law pours is definitely better."
Yu Zhen continued to shamelessly act coquettishly, while Lin Nianyu, who entered the room with Yu Mao, raised her small hands to cover her face.
I can't bear to look...
"They're all the same, nothing special."
Distracted by his words, the mist that had been slowly gathering in front of him quickly dissipated. Zhou Siyu breathed a long sigh of relief and poured a cup of tea, placing it in Yu Zhen's hand: "Here, I won't let you off the hook until you taste something good or bad."
"Waaaaah, sister-in-law, you're so mean..."
"Alright, alright, you're such a grown-up, why are you still acting like a child? Nianyu is watching, aren't you ashamed?" Grandpa Yu patted Yu Zhen's head with a smile and beckoned to Lin Nianyu: "Come sit down, let your great-grandfather take a good look at you."
"Great-grandfather, great-grandmother, third-uncle, aunt..."
Lin Nianyu greeted everyone before quickly walking to Grandpa Yu's side.
Zhou Siyu stood up and greeted Yu Mao, who nodded and sat down next to Lorna Ya: "Hasn't the second brother arrived yet?"
No sooner had he finished speaking than a hearty laugh came from the doorway: "Big brother, you only care about your younger brother, you don't mention me, your brother-in-law, at all."
Lin Ling and Yu Jue walked hand in hand to Grandpa Yu's side, and the younger generation who had just sat down stood up to greet them.
"Why mention you? You'll be coming with Xiao Jue anyway." Grandpa Yu patted Lin Ling's arm and praised, "Good lad, your muscles are well-developed. Want to spar with me this afternoon?"
"Okay, but Dad, you can't go back on your word later."
"Hey, when have I ever cheated?" Grandpa Yu laughed angrily, hands on his hips. "You were clearly the one who couldn't fight back after I beat you, and you even tried to distract me! How wicked!"
"Dad, if you put it that way, I'll have to have a serious talk with you..."
Lin Ling began to vividly recount the countless sparring matches between the two, during which Grandpa Yu repeatedly cheated, using excuses such as "Ouch, my back hurts" or "Oh, Xiao Jue is here" to distract Lin Ling and then sneakily win.
The scene before him slowly changed, Lin Ling's voice grew fainter and fainter, and suddenly a terrifying face appeared in the teacup, with blood streaming from its large, copper-bell-sized eyes, and a wide-open mouth that occupied half of its face, grinning directly at Zhou Siyu.
Zhou Siyu unconsciously clenched her fists, gripping the cup tightly, and kept repeating to herself, "It's all fake, it's all fake, it's all fake..."
"sister in law……"
Yu Zhen, who was sitting next to Zhou Siyu, noticed the sudden tension in the muscles of the person next to him and thought to himself that something was wrong. He quickly put down his cup and called out softly to Zhou Siyu.
"Huh? Huh..." Zhou Siyu snapped out of her daze and looked at Yu Zhen blankly: "What's wrong?"
Grandpa Yu also stopped arguing with Lin Ling and turned to look at Zhou Siyu with concern.
“You were just spacing out. Were you still thinking about company matters?” Yu Zhen gently stroked Zhou Siyu’s hand, signaling him not to be nervous, and then said, “The company matter has been resolved, so don’t worry.”
"Really?" Zhou Siyu forced a smile, trying to appear as if everything was normal. "It's fine."
"What's wrong? Is it difficult?" Grandpa Yu couldn't help but ask. "If you have any difficulties, tell Grandpa."
"It's nothing, just a minor accident at the mine a while ago." Zhou Siyu finished his cold tea and smiled at Grandpa Yu. "I handed it over to Xiao Zhen to handle after I saw it, and he handled it very well."
"That's good." Looking at Zhou Siyu's dark circles, Grandpa Yu frowned and looked at Yu Zhen: "You should help Xiaoyu with more things, don't let him carry everything on his own."
"No, not at all. Xiao Zhen has helped me a lot." Zhou Siyu patted Yu Zhen's hand to indicate that he was alright, then told the others his plan: "Once the situation stabilizes, I plan to give Xiao Zhen the company's main business and give him 15% of the shares..."
"That won't do," Grandpa Yu said. "You built the company from scratch; it's your own property. How can you just give it away like that?"
"Yes, sister-in-law, I can help you out, but I really can't take on any major responsibilities."
Yu Zhen waved his hands repeatedly. He had agreed to Zhou Siyu's request because he had nothing to do at home and wanted to help Zhou Siyu. He was fine with working on projects with Zhou Siyu, but he really couldn't manage such a large company.
"I can teach you how to manage a company..."
"No, no, no, I'm just not cut out for it." Yu Zhen scratched his head and laughed, "If you really feel bad about it, just give me five percent of the shares."
"You little brat, you're getting all cocky after I just praised you a couple of times." Lorna couldn't help but kick Yu Zhen, who was clinging to Zhou Siyu. "Your sister-in-law manages both the company and you, how can you have the nerve to take a share of her money?"
"I'm so sorry." Yu Zhen snuggled against Zhou Siyu's arm and said coquettishly, "My sister-in-law will definitely spoil me."
"Have you no shame?"
Lorna couldn't stand it anymore. Zhou Siyu was two years younger than Yu Zhen, yet he was acting like an older brother.
"No, no, what's the use of face?" Yu Zhen clung to Zhou Siyu, looked up and said with a grin, "I have my sister-in-law, that's enough."
"Virtue".
Yu Mao couldn't help but roll her eyes a few times, wishing she could beat this shameless bastard to death immediately.
“We shouldn’t have gotten involved in this, but Xiaoyu, Xiaozhen really isn’t cut out to manage the company.” Grandpa Yu said earnestly, “A company is like a ship sailing on the sea. Some people can be sailors, some can be first mates, but not everyone can be captain.”
Yu Zhen is good at managing projects, but he can't manage people or be a leader.
"Yes, I understand, Grandpa. I will seriously consider this matter."
Zhou Siyu nodded, put down her cup, and lowered her eyes, lost in thought.
"You've just recovered, and your body isn't fully healed yet. Go and get some rest. Have a few drinks with me tonight." Grandpa Yu affectionately patted Zhou Siyu's head and looked at Yu Zhen: "I heard from the maid that you watched TV dramas all night. Go and get some rest. You look like a panda with those dark circles under your eyes."
"Okay." Yu Zhen pulled Zhou Siyu's hand and lifted him up from the sofa, then laughed and said, "Then I'll go take a nap with my sister-in-law first."
"Go quickly."
Grandpa Yu smiled and waved, calling a maid to take Lin Nianyu to the children's room. Then he got up and closed the door, his sharp eyes scanning everyone present.
