Chapter 20: You actually gave your dear husband a hundred dollars for his birthday...
When Tian Ruan returned to the manor that night, he heard the housekeeper say, "Sir, come back later."
Tian Ruan: "Isn't he coming back tomorrow?"
The housekeeper exclaimed: "With a lovely wife at home, of course I have to come back early."
“…”
It was nine o'clock in the evening, and Tian Ruan had finished his homework for a while, when he suddenly heard the sound of a car outside. He glanced out the window and saw that it was indeed the Maybach that Yu Jingmo often drove.
Tian Ruan hid the snacks on the table into his schoolbag, pretended to be calm and went downstairs, and smiled when he saw Yu Jingmo: "Mr. Yu, you are back."
Yu Jingmo took off his dusty coat and glanced at Tian Ruan, "Fake."
Tian Ruan's smile slowly faded, "Have you eaten?"
"No."
"I didn't eat either."
Yu Jingmo's lips curled up slightly: "Let's go eat, you don't have to wait for me next time."
Tian Ruan thought, who dares to eat first. There is only one head of the Yu family, and that is Yu Jingmo.
When the "family of three" eat dinner together, Yu Shang never asks too many questions, and Yu Jingmo never explains too much. If Tian Ruan hadn't said a word or two occasionally, it would be quieter than a cemetery.
Fortunately, it didn’t matter if I went to bed late because the next day was Saturday.
Tian Ruan, who didn't have to go to school, felt very bored when he got up early in the morning. He wandered around the manor but couldn't find anything to do. Why didn't I realize before that it was so free when I didn't have to go to school?
Do I have to do club activities on Sundays like Yu Shang did?
Tian Ruan used his mobile phone to check the classification of clubs on the campus forum. There are three categories in total: literature and art, sports, and others.
There is "Translation" in the category of literature and art. Tian Ruan clicked on it and took a look at the admission standards. He should be sixteen years old or above, like reading, have a good understanding of the original texts of foreign classics, and have obtained three 9 points in minor language courses.
Tian Ruan: “…”
There is an exam once every half semester for minor language courses, and the scores will be obtained three times, at least nine months later.
Having failed to join the only club he was interested in, Tian Ruan was bored and scrolled through the forum gossip. One of the posts with the suffix "hot" was about a beautiful art teacher who was about to give birth and might have to take a break from teaching for half a year.
Many students gave their blessings and guessed which painter would be the substitute teacher.
Yes, even the art teacher of Deyin High School is a well-known painter, it is so arrogant.
"Uncle, are you home?" A girl's clear voice came from downstairs.
Tian Ruan put away his phone and went downstairs. The house was too big, so he arrived before her, but her voice came first: "Here—"
A minute later, Tian Ruan came down the spiral staircase.
Yu Ti held a brown paper bag in one hand and waved her other hand happily, "Uncle, I brought you a gift."
The servant brought black tea and osmanthus cake.
Tian Ruan was sitting on the sofa opening a gift. Inside the beautifully wrapped gift box was a crystal eagle brooch made of black crystal and pink crystal, with a sweet and cool style.
"How is it? Do you like it? I saw it at first sight in the store and thought it would suit my uncle." Yu Ti said with a smile.
Tian Ruan wore the sandalwood beads given by Yu Jingmo on his wrist, which was his first gift when he came to this world. Now, he received a second gift from his "niece".
"Thank you, I like it." Tian Ruan said sincerely.
Yu Ti laughed, but then said, "But uncle, you didn't tell me that you were going to school. I only found out about it from what my family said."
"It's nothing serious."
"How is it not a big deal? This way I can have lunch with you every day."
“Although Deyin’s junior high and high schools are together, they are separated by an iron fence and are not allowed to travel between them.”
Yu Ti shook his head. "Uncle, you are too honest. There are holes in the iron net. You can get through it."
Tian Ruan: "That's a dog hole."
"It doesn't matter what kind of hole it is, as long as you can get through it, it's a good hole."
“If we’re caught by the student union, Yu Shang…”
"Stop, don't mention him." Yu Ti ended the topic, "Uncle, do you know that tomorrow is your 30th birthday?"
Tian Ruan was stunned: "Ah?"
"It's my uncle's birthday, you don't know it, do you?"
"……have no idea."
"I went to a luxury store today to buy a gift for my uncle, and it cost me 200,000 yuan of pocket money."
Tian Ruan suspected that there was something wrong with his ears, "How much?"
"Two hundred thousand." Yu Ti stared at Tian Ruan, his tone surprised, "Uncle, you don't even have two hundred thousand, do you?"
Tian Ruan: “…I felt humiliated.”
Yu Ti waved her hands quickly, "I'm not looking down on you. I'm just wondering, why doesn't your uncle give you pocket money?"
This cannot be blamed on Yu Jingmo, as Tian Ruan had actually arranged everything from food, clothing, housing, transportation, and schooling. There is no need to worry about Sha Meijuan's hospitalization. It can be said that Tian Ruan doesn't have much need for money in his daily life.
Even snacks were from a special snack cupboard at home, which he would quietly take—and then the cupboard would be magically replenished the next day.
"I don't need pocket money." Tian Ruan tried to save himself.
Yu Ti: "How much money do you have?"
"A few thousand."
Yu Ti opened her eyes wide and exclaimed "Oh my God", which shows that a few thousand dollars is not money at all in her eyes.
Fortunately, Tian Ruan has a strong psychological endurance. If Tian Yuan heard it, he might have been defeated.
Yu Ti's face was full of distress: "Uncle, I really can't think of any gift to buy with several thousand yuan. My uncle has high taste, and a tie costs more than ten thousand yuan."
Tian Ruan asked seriously: "Can I not give you a gift?"
Yu Ti looked Tian Ruan up and down and laughed strangely: "That's fine. You are in front of your uncle, and he won't want any other gifts."
Tian Ruan was speechless.
Yu Ti coughed dryly: "It seems that my humor is not funny. In fact, the poor have their own way of living, and there are also gifts that the poor can afford. Maybe my uncle likes ice cream, claw machines, and pornographic comics."
Tian Ruan: "That's what you like."
"No matter what, we need to find out first." Yu Ti raised her slender fingers, "Ask his secretary or assistant."
"You can also ask the housekeeper and Aunt Liu."
Calling the housekeeper and Liu Ma, Yu Ti directly asked them what cheap hobbies her uncle had. The housekeeper said "exercise" and Liu Ma said "drinking tea".
Yu Ti shook her finger: "Drinking tea is not cheap, Aunt Liu, don't you know that the tea that my uncle drinks costs one thousand yuan per ounce?"
Aunt Liu was shocked: "So expensive?! I usually drink some tea myself when I see some left in the teapot...Amitabha."
Unable to find out anything from her family, Yu Ti made a prompt decision and took Tian Ruan out in her Maserati to the Yu family's headquarters, the Holly Group, a skyscraper located in the center of Su City.
A statue of a Saker Falcon flaps its wings as if it is about to take off on top of the building, which almost reaches the clouds. Internal personnel enter by swiping their cards, while outsiders must make an appointment or have someone pick them up.
Yu Ti is the living "Yu Family Pass". Tian Ruan has never shown her face in the group, so the receptionist at the lobby did not recognize her. She smiled and said, "Miss Yu, this person needs to register."
Yu Ti was surprised: "Does your boss's wife need to register?"
Receptionist: “What?”
"My uncle's wife."
The receptionist quickly said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Tian, I didn't know it was you. Are you here to see Mr. Yu? I'll let you know in the secretary's office."
Tian Ruan didn't want to trouble anyone, "No, I'll go find him."
A large group may have five elite secretaries alone, and more than a dozen reserve staff members who can serve as temporary secretaries at any time. This team is called the secretarial team.
The secretarial team is mostly composed of women.
Women have soft hearts, and it is difficult for them to control their feelings when faced with a man like Yu Jingmo who is perfect in every way and has only one or two flaws.
What's more, he is a man who is on the list of the world's richest people.
However, such a man suddenly got married.
Anne, the head of the secretarial team, has been very sad these days because she has suffered a broken heart. Yes, ever since she came to the group five years ago, she has been attracted to Yu Jingmo, who is handsome, rich and capable.
Annie has been a school belle since she was a child, and she has been surrounded by stars wherever she goes. It was not until she saw Yu Jingmo that she realized how ridiculous she was for indulging in false illusions.
The moon is surrounded by stars? Maybe she was, but in front of Yu Jingmo, who was as dazzling as the sun, she couldn't even compare to a ray of brilliance.
If you can’t compete, join. As the saying goes, men conquer the world and women conquer men. Annie decided to use her own abilities to conquer Yu Jingmo, a mountain on the ice field.
As a result, after working diligently for five years, Yu Jingmo got married as he said he wanted. Her heart was broken and she started to act badly. She no longer gave Yu Jingmo a charming smile, no longer considerately added milk to his coffee, and no longer dressed gorgeously every day.
——Yu Jingmo didn’t notice any of the changes she thought they had happened.
Anne's heart was broken again, it was obvious that her boss was heartless and didn't care about her at all.
"Annie, your document is very sloppily drafted, and the information you collected is incomplete." Yu Jingmo frowned slightly as he flipped through the printed document in his hand and threw it on the desk, "Go back and redo it."
Anne gritted her teeth, took the document, and straightened her back. "I won't redo it."
Yu Jingmo looked at her, "You want to resign?"
"…What would you do if I quit?"
"There are many people in the secretarial team who want to take your place."
"But not all of them are as capable and beautiful as me."
In some business situations, having a pretty secretary can indeed save a lot of effort. Yu Jingmo asked: "Do you want a raise?"
Annie was holding back her breath, and just as she was about to let it out, she heard Assistant Xu's voice: "Mr. Yu, your wife is here."
Yu Jingmo: “Yeah.”
Assistant Xu: "From the surveillance video, he got lost after going to the bathroom."
Yu Jingmo: “?”
Yu Jingmo stood up and strode out, "Which floor?"
Assistant Xu hurriedly followed, "26th floor."
Annie stared at them in amazement as they left. She returned to the secretary's office helplessly. The secretary assistant next to her asked, "Sister Annie, what's wrong?"
"Nothing." Annie replied irritably, wondering if this president's wife was really a little white rabbit? This can get you lost.
And Mr. Yu was troubled to pick her up in person... Wasn't it said that there was no love in their marriage? Could it be that the rumor is untrue?
Annie really couldn't imagine what Yu Jingmo was like in love, so she gave up for the time being and decided to find out the details later.
Ten minutes later, Tian Ruan was taken back to the office of "Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Headquarters" by Yu Jingmo.
Yu Ti and Assistant Xu came right after. Yu Ti said, "Uncle, why are you running around? I've been looking for you for a long time!"
Tian Ruan said, "I didn't see you when I came out, so I went to look for you."
Yu Jingmo said calmly: "The surveillance showed that you were walking back and forth between the two corridors, sneaking around, and were almost caught as suspicious persons."
“…”
That was what Annie heard when she came in.
Although I have seen blurry photos of the wedding scene in the news media, they were deliberately blurred so that only the faces could be roughly recognized. Now looking closely, Annie is no longer calm.
There are many rumors in the industry that Yu Jingmo is not interested in women, and later he rejected all the men who were offered to him. Hence the saying that "Yu Jingmo is blind" and cannot tell the difference between beauty and ugliness.
But now, this young man who looks like a high school student undoubtedly has a very handsome face.
"Are you here to talk to me about something?" Yu Jingmo softened his tone, sat on the sofa, patted his side, and motioned Tian Ruan to come over.
Yu Ti: "I'm not here to see you, uncle..."
"I came to see you." Tian Ruan went over and sat next to Yu Jingmo. "It's your birthday tomorrow, right?"
Yu Jingmo: “Yeah.”
"Then I'll buy a present."
"What gift do you want to buy?" Yu Jingmo became interested, and a slight smile appeared in his voice.
Tian Ruan looked at him and said seriously: "I don't have money, but you can choose a gift from me that costs less than 100 coins."
"... one hundred dollars, or less?"
Yu Ti: "Uncle, don't you have a few thousand dollars?" You actually took out a hundred dollars to give to your dear husband? ?
Annie was also shocked, but what shocked her was that the wife of Yu Jingmo only had such a small amount of money? Oh my god, Mr. Yu is so stingy in private!
Anne's love instantly turned into a weight, pressing coldly on her chest, and she could no longer feel any emotion.
Even the way she looked at Yu Jingmo was filled with contempt, deep contempt. It turned out that men were unreliable.
Anne's expression was so obvious that the scene was silent for a moment.
Assistant Xu pulled Annie away and said, "Come with me."
Tian Ruan: "Why does she look at you like that?"
Yu Jingmo: "I don't know. Let's continue talking about one hundred dollars."
The man in charge of the Yu family, who had businesses worth tens or even hundreds of millions, was actually willing to spend time chatting with his wife for a hundred dollars. The news quickly spread throughout the group.
