Chapter 172 Minjie Misunderstood
On the day Shao Muyan returned to Shangzhou, Yu Yan and Shao Min went to pick him up.
Shao Min joked with Yu Yan, "You went to pick him up yourself? Don't spoil him. I'm telling you, you can't spoil men. If you do, they'll take advantage of you."
Yu Yan smiled gently, thinking to herself that it depends on the person.
She's the type of person who's willing to be good to whoever she likes. In the world of relationships, she's either in love or not in love, which is quite extreme, with no middle ground.
She gives her all to the person she likes, and if one day the other person runs out of her love, she is willing to accept the loss and is prepared to leave at any time.
On the way there, Yu Yan drove.
She thought for a moment and decided to give Shao Min a heads-up beforehand, "Sister, Uncle Yan is coming back today, let's have dinner together outside. I've already told Uncle Lin."
"Shall we eat at the Lin family's courtyard?"
Shao Min said, "You should have said so earlier, then I would have brought Yunyun with me."
Today is Saturday, no school. But kids these days don't have a quiet weekend either, they have all sorts of tutoring classes to attend.
Although Shao Min doesn't push her child to excel, she always supports Shao Yun in learning what he's interested in and never hesitates to spend money on him, always making inquiries to hire the best teachers and enroll him in the most expensive classes.
After all, we have the means!
Shao Yun has three lessons today: piano in the morning, programming in the afternoon, and roller skating in the evening.
"Yunyun is still too well-rounded."
Shao Min's face was full of pride when she talked about her son, she was a complete doting father. "He learns things so fast, and he does well in everything he learns. Every teacher who teaches him praises him highly and is amazed by his talent. They all want to take him as their apprentice. They told me that as long as Yunyun wants to become their apprentice, the tuition will be waived. I can't even afford to spend money like that. Can you believe it?"
Shao Min was very pleased with himself, and Yu Yan kept laughing.
"Oh, it also has its shortcomings."
Shao Min said, "Vocal lessons are no good. Have you ever heard Yunyun sing?"
Yu Yan shook her head: "Really not."
“Let me play this for you.” Shao Min took out her phone and found an audio clip. “This was sent to me by his homeroom teacher last month. It’s from the school’s choir competition… Oh my god, it’s hilarious.”
As she spoke, Shao Min opened the media player, just as Yu Yan stopped at a red light intersection.
"A pond planted with dreams becomes an ocean; bulging eyes and a big mouth, singing just as loudly..."
Yu Yan's pupils dilated involuntarily as she looked at her phone in disbelief.
"This is... sung by Yunyun?"
"Yes, hahaha, it's like chanting a sutra, not a single note is sung correctly."
Shao Min wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes; she laughed every time she heard it.
“I had never heard this child sing before. When his teacher sent it to me, I asked if he wasn’t singing seriously. The teacher said that Yunyun sang very seriously, but the more serious he was, the funnier it became. The choir’s music teacher was almost driven crazy. He originally wanted Yunyun to be the lead singer, but he had to give up and let him stand in the front row and lip-sync.”
Yu Yan listened to it again and was still shocked.
She had seen people who were tone-deaf, but she had never seen anyone this tone-deaf. Was he born tone-deaf?
However, although it's a bit unethical, it's genuinely funny...
After all, Shao Yun looks like a great singer with a beautiful voice, so who would have thought that his voice would be like this?
“I sent him to vocal lessons and found a very famous bel canto teacher. After listening to Yunyun sing, the teacher gave him a few words of encouragement and then privately refunded my tuition, saying that he couldn’t teach him.”
Shao Min said, "My vocal coach even comforted me, saying that God opened several doors for this child, and it's okay if a small window closes occasionally. He told me not to make things difficult for the child or for the teacher."
Upon hearing this, Yu Yan and Shao Min burst into laughter.
Some things are just like that if you don't have talent, there's nothing you can do about it.
“The teacher is right. Everyone has different talents. No one is perfect. Yunyun is already very good.” Yu Yan still felt that Shao Yun was good in every way.
Shao Min laughed and said, "Who says it isn't? I just find it amazing that Yunyun is tone-deaf, just like Ayan. They are both tone-deaf."
Yu Yan raised an eyebrow in surprise: "Uncle Yan is tone-deaf too?"
"It's not just him. The men in the Shao family have zero talent when it comes to singing. If they all sing together, it's a complete car crash. It's all ear-piercing."
Shao Min smiled and shook her head: "That's why I said, it would be a lie to say that Yunyun isn't a child of the Shao family!"
These words just slipped out of Shao Minxing's mouth. As soon as he finished speaking, he realized he had let something slip and quickly covered his mouth.
Yu Yan stared straight ahead, pretending to be calm, but her heart was already surging with excitement.
The carriage fell silent.
Shao Min closed her eyes slightly. People are prone to getting carried away when they are happy, especially in front of familiar people. When they are too relaxed, they say things without thinking.
Words spoken are like water spilled; they cannot be taken back.
Fortunately, the person sitting next to her was Yu Yan, who would be family sooner or later, and in Shao Min's heart, she already was, so she was completely unguarded.
Upon arriving at the airport parking lot, Yu Yan parked the car steadily.
Just as she was about to get out of the car, Shao Min grabbed Yu Yan's hand. "Um... you heard what I just said, right?"
Yu Yan thought about it for a moment and then nodded.
"So what if you hear it? You'll find out about it sooner or later anyway."
Shao Min convinced herself and simply came out to Yu Yan, "Actually, Yunyun should be a child of the Shao family. Although it's not completely confirmed, it's basically certain that he is my eldest brother's child."
Yu Yan: "..."
It seems not.
"Not many people know about this. After all, you know that your brother has a special status, so it's not good to publicize this kind of thing."
Shao Min sighed softly, "Yunyun is still young, of course he won't think about these things. We'll talk about it when he's older. Actually, if I could, I'd rather he never know and just be my son. That would be fine."
This time, Yu Yan hesitated, wanting to say something but unable to open her mouth.
"Sigh, it's alright. Anyway, with me and Ayan protecting her, no one can say anything about Yunyun's background."
Shao Min gently patted Yu Yan's hand, "Why are you stunned? Are you scared?"
Yu Yan looked up at Shao Min, seeing the smile on her face, but her heart felt a little bitter. She wondered how Sister Min would react after she found out the truth.
"I……"
Just as Yu Yan was about to speak, her phone rang twice.
It was sent by Shao Muyan; I just got off the plane.
"Ayan's here?" Shao Min unbuckled her seatbelt. "Let's go pick him up first."
After getting out of the car, Yu Yan walked behind Shao Min and grabbed her wrist, "Sister Min."
"What's wrong?"
Yu Yan hesitated and said, "Uncle Yan is coming back this time, he will probably tell you something, which may... be a little unexpected for you."
"What's going on? Is it about you two?"
Shao Min smiled and said, "You two are getting married soon? So fast? I'm not surprised at all. I can't wait for you two to get married."
“It wasn’t us,” Yu Yan said. “It was Yunyun.”
Shao Min: "Hmm?"
