Chapter 21 What's the difference between encountering this by chance and announcing in public that they have had their wedding night...
Yu Jingmo had never accepted a gift worth a hundred dollars since he was a child.
The gifts he received were rarely worth less than ten thousand yuan. Conversely, he will also give others more expensive gifts.
A 30th birthday is not a big deal. Yu Jingmo planned to have a reunion dinner with the whole Yu family as he did in previous years, and he had no intention of accepting any gifts. But every year, relatives still flock to the house.
Those gifts were like asking something of him. If he accepted them, it meant he would help them solve the problem. If he refused, it meant he could not help.
Yu Jingmo and Tian Ruan explained this unwritten rule and asked, "What do you want me to help you with?"
Tian Ruan couldn't understand: "If you give a gift, you have to get something in return. Isn't that strange?"
"Merchants always seek profit and disperse."
"I'm not a businessman." Tian Ruan looked at Yu Jingmo seriously, "I hope you can be happy at least on your birthday."
Yu Jingmo looked at the handsome young man in front of him in astonishment. His pair of brown eyes were filled with a clear light without any thoughts, as pure as a newborn baby.
"If celebrating a birthday is to fulfill other people's intentions, it's better not to celebrate it and worry less." Tian Ruan was indignant.
Yu Jingmo curled up the corners of his lips: "I don't care."
"The less you care, the more they will push their buttons." Tian Ruan was very serious even when he was angry. After thinking for a while, he said, "I'll give you a birthday present in advance."
"What gift?"
Tian Ruan took out a hundred-yuan note and gave it to him, "I'll give you a day."
"Times of Day?"
"You can do whatever you want tomorrow."
Yu Jingmo's eyes deepened, his pupils clearly reflecting the young man's face, which was as white as a glutinous rice dumpling, very delicate and soft, so his tone softened as well: "Whatever you want to do, just do it?"
"Um."
"Okay." Yu Jingmo took the banknote with his slender and clean fingertips, "I'll listen to you."
Yu Ti was dumbfounded: "Uncle, aren't we having a reunion dinner tomorrow?"
"We can have the reunion dinner anytime. There is only one 30th birthday." Yu Jingmo made a decision and said to the door, "Assistant Xu, rearrange tomorrow's schedule."
Assistant Xu answered at the door: "Okay, Mr. Yu."
Yu Jingmo asked Tian Ruan: "It's noon, do you want to eat anything?"
Tian Ruan thought for a minute and said, "Can we eat hairy crabs? The hairy crabs in this season are just fat."
"Okay." Yu Jingmo stood up and said, "Let's go to a nearby seafood restaurant."
Yu Ti was about to catch up when Assistant Xu stopped her, "Ms. Yu Ti, if you want to eat something, you can tell me."
“…Forget it, I’ll go home and eat.” Yu Ti was very tactful and did not disturb the young couple’s world of two.
Tian Ruan heard this and asked, "Don't you eat hairy crabs?"
Yu Ti waved her hand: "No, my stomach hurts from eating crabs."
There is a seafood restaurant nearby, in the city center square. It is not of high standard, but affordable and has many customers. It wasn’t like the place Yu Jingmo usually came to - in fact, Yu Jingmo did recommend the tea restaurant he often went to.
This square is very special. The building looks like a big pair of pants from a distance, attracting tourists from all over the world.
As a result, more people came, and to eat, one had to call for a meal. Guests would take a queue number of a restaurant, and when the people inside had finished eating, the owner of the queue number would be notified through the radio to go and eat.
Fortunately, the seafood restaurant was not full and there was a table as soon as we entered.
As luck would have it, there was a young man with champagne hair sitting next door, leisurely eating seafood fried rice.
He Lan Si smiled and said, "I never thought that Mr. Yu would come to a place like this to eat. It's really a fate that brings us together."
Yu Jingmo didn't comment and used his mobile phone to scan the code to order food.
Tian Ruan continued: "Why are you here? Is your family going bankrupt and out of money?"
In one sentence, it hits the pain point directly.
He Lan Si smiled wryly: "So, Yu Jingmo is also going bankrupt?"
"He is trying to understand the people's feelings - having dinner with a commoner like me." Tian Ruan joked.
"Civilians?" He Lansi couldn't help laughing. "Yu Jingmo, what do you think?"
Yu Jingmo had no expression on his face: "I won't watch it."
Tian Ruan: "...Is it true that no one can tell that I'm joking?"
Soon the seafood feast was served, and the waiter asked kindly, "Do you want me to peel the crabs?"
Yu Jingmo: "Thank you for your help."
"You're welcome. It's my pleasure." The waiter put on disposable gloves and peeled the crab with a red face.
The golden crab roe is very thick and fragrant, and it is even more refreshing and appetizing after pouring crab vinegar on it.
Yu Jingmo placed the first crab in front of Tian Ruan. Tian Ruan scooped out the crab roe with a small spoon and took a bite with satisfied eyes: "Delicious."
Yu Jingmo looked at him and smiled: "Crabs are cold, so you can't eat too many. Just two."
"Mr. Yu, you eat too."
"Um."
The waiter peeled the crab and left. He Lan Si suddenly lost his appetite: "I'm full of dog food. You guys eat, I'm leaving."
Tian Ruan: "? Oh, bye."
He Lans smiled gently: "See you later, Tian Ruan."
Five minutes later, Tian Ruan responded, "He Lan Si called me Tian Ruan."
Logically speaking, few people know that Tian Ruan "changed his name" and went to school.
Yu Jingmo remained calm: "He has his own channels."
"Why is he paying attention to me?"
"Because you are Yu Jingmo's wife." Yu Jingmo ate elegantly. He would stop when speaking and look intently at the person in front of him.
This is a basic social etiquette that gives people the feeling of being "taken seriously".
Tian Ruan recalled the plot of the original book, and a light bulb went off in his head. A post on the campus forum came to his mind. The art teacher had asked for maternity leave, and the substitute teacher soon was... He Lans.
Few people know that He Lans actually majored in fine arts and also obtained a teacher's certificate.
Tian Ruan: “…”
"What are you daydreaming about?" Yu Jingmo said, "Eat."
"Oh." Tian Ruan ate obediently.
He Lans is a substitute art teacher, which is a very abrupt plot in the original book. His family is about to go bankrupt, and the next thing he knows he becomes a teacher. After going bankrupt, he went into business, went against the protagonist, and finally ended up in jail.
Tian Ruan was struggling over whether to remind him. He ate slower and slower, and asked Yu Jingmo, "You want to acquire the He family, right?"
"It's financing. I invested part of my assets to buy 80% of the shares of the He family's company. The company is still nominally owned by the He family, but the Yu family is in charge."
"Then why didn't he agree?"
"It's about saving face."
"You're about to go bankrupt, and you still want to save face?"
Yu Jingmo smiled but did not answer.
Tian Ruan pondered: "Is there any way to save his face without bankrupting him?"
Yu Jingmo: "Unless he borrows 200 million from the bank, but I'm afraid no bank would dare to lend him money now."
"What about you? Do you dare to borrow it?"
Yu Jingmo's eyes were deep and calm, with a kind of detachment and gentleness of a superior: "I'm not a philanthropist."
"...but you sponsor orphans." Tian Ruan wanted to say that he was also an orphan, but gave up.
"Helansi is not an orphan. His parents and grandfather are very resourceful. If I am given the opportunity, I will be the one to be devoured."
Tian Ruan was speechless, and finally nodded, "I don't understand these, Mr. Yu must have considered more in his decision."
Yu Jingmo lowered his eyes, and slowly but accurately peeled a large shrimp with his slender fingers. After peeling it, he placed it in Tian Ruan's bowl. "Business is like a battlefield, not just a simple interpersonal relationship."
Tian Ruan realized that he was thinking too simply. He shouldn't interfere with Yu Jingmo's decision. Business is not a joke. One mistake may affect the main plot - Yu Shang still has to inherit the family business.
After finishing their meal, the couple came out of the restaurant.
When Tian Ruan saw the ice cream seller, he asked, "Mr. Yu, do you want some ice cream?"
Yu Jingmo: "Don't eat it. I just ate crab and my stomach is still cold."
"oh."
Seeing that he was a little disappointed, Yu Jingmo said, "Tomorrow Aunt Liu will make you a fresh milk ice cream with waffles and vanilla chocolate strawberries."
Tian Ruan immediately recovered his energy: "Okay."
The two walked a dozen steps and were about to go around to the elevator when they suddenly saw two young men dressed one conservatively and the other fashionably coming out of a Hunan restaurant. Their mouths were red from the spicy food, and the four of them bumped into each other.
Tian Ruan and Yu Shang looked at each other.
By Yu Shang's side was naturally Lu Qiuyan.
Yu Shang frowned and called out, "Dad, why are you here?"
"Eat." Yu Jingmo glanced at Lu Qiuyan calmly, "Classmate?"
"Um."
"Go play."
"……good."
Lu Qiuyan called Tian Ruan, "Let's go to the e-sports city together?"
Tian Ruan had a blank face and his eyes were wide open. You, the protagonist, are not in a hurry at all. Do you think you are an ordinary classmate of Yu Shang? Don’t call me, go quickly, you can’t be caught in “premature love”.
Bang! Yu Jingmo snapped his fingers in front of Tian Ruan, who was standing still. "The magic is lifted."
Tian Ruan moved in response and blinked.
Lu Qiuyan opened his eyes wide and asked Yu Shang: "I heard that if a man is still a virgin at the age of 30, he will become a magician. Is it true? Your father knows magic?"
Yu Shang: “…”
Yu Jingmo: “…”
Tian Ruan: “…”
Lu Qiuyan: “Is that so?”
Tian Ruan looked at Yu Jingmo quietly, whose face suddenly turned cold. Just as she was about to say something in his defense -
"My little friend, I am married, and my wife and I are in love and happy. Can't you see it?" Yu Jingmo put his arm around Tian Ruan's shoulders and held her in his arms with gentle but domineering force.
Tian Ruan: “…………”
What's the difference between this and announcing in public that they have entered their bridal chamber?
