Chapter 24 Fireworks Yu Jingmo looked at him and said, "I like it very much."...
In the cemetery bright in the morning light, several bodyguards in black escorted the two tightly tied men out and called the police.
Before the police arrived, Yu Jingmo and Yu Shang continued to pay their respects calmly.
The white smoke from incense and candles lingered in the air, blending with the fragrance of osmanthus. The golden sunlight fell on the photo of two people on the tombstone: the woman in cheongsam had a bright smile, and the man in a white suit was dignified and elegant. The background was a bright red velvet curtain, which looked like a wedding photo.
Yu Shang said: "Maybe grandpa and grandma are also blessing us in heaven."
Yu Jingmo did not comment. He carefully burned a stick of incense, cleaned the dust on the stele, and picked a branch of osmanthus and placed it in front of the fruit. His mother liked osmanthus.
"You also light a stick of incense." Yu Jingmo said to Tian Ruan.
Tian Ruan burned incense and paid homage to his parents-in-law who had passed away young.
After a while, the police arrived and asked a few questions. The subsequent relevant matters will be handled by the Holly Group’s Legal Department. But this matter will not just let go like this. Old Master Yu will definitely intervene. After all, Yu Maodan is his grandson. These are all trivial matters, so let's not talk about them for now.
The three of them returned to the manor. Yu Jingmo sat on the sofa and read the newspaper. His cell phone rang several times. He simply turned it off and told the housekeeper: "No guests today."
Butler: "Yes."
The gate of the manor was closed tightly, and there was finally peace and quiet.
Tian Ruan learned how to make desserts from the servants. She beat a lot of cream and squeezed it into the puff skins. She made more than fifty puffs at a time, which she could not finish. So he gave most of them to the servants, kept ten for himself, and gave ten to Yu Shang.
Yu Shang looked at the packaged puffs and said, "I don't really eat desserts. Give them to Aunt Liu."
"Mrs. Liu has already eaten five." Tian Ruan said, "If you don't want to eat them, you can share them with others."
The first person Yu Shang thought of was Lu Qiuyan. He took the puff, said thank you, and asked the delivery guy to deliver it to Lu Qiuyan’s home address.
Tian Ruan handed the puff to Yu Jingmo again, "Mr. Yu, do you want to eat this?"
Yu Jingmo reached out and picked up a puff. The freshness of the animal cream burst in his mouth. The skin was crispy and soft, and the taste was very good. "Did you make this?"
"I whipped the cream."
"very nice."
"Yu Shang doesn't eat it."
Yu Jingmo said calmly, "His biological mother made cakes and other desserts. Sometimes they couldn't sell all of them, so they had to eat them as meals. He ate too much."
Tian Ruan's brain was stuck for two seconds before he realized that the original book did not give much description of Yu Shang's life experience, only mentioning it in a few words.
Before Yu Shang was eight years old, his life was relatively comfortable. My mother learned the skill of baking cakes and opened a shop to make cakes. My father was missing all year round.
Without his father's company, Yu Shang respected and loved his mother very much.
However, one day, a robber attacked the cake shop and his mother was stabbed 18 times and died on the spot.
The police took Yu Shang from the elementary school to the hospital and saw his mother for the last time in the morgue.
Not long after, Yu Shang was sent to a children's welfare home, where he spent two years before being adopted by Yu Jingmo.
"Why are you looking so downcast?" Yu Jingmo's deep and clear voice echoed in Tian Ruan's ears, "Yu Shang is not as fragile as you think. You can still eat your cake."
Tian Ruan sighed: "It's a miracle that he didn't suffer from psychological trauma."
“I raised her well.”
“…”
Yu Jingmo's tone didn't sound like boasting at all. It seemed like he was stating a fact, which was indeed a fact.
Yu Shang is now calm and decisive, has a clear mind, and has top-notch character. He has gradually gained power and has some means, otherwise he would not have been able to become the president of the Student Union.
Although still a little immature, he is not even in the same league as his peers.
In the afternoon, Yu Ti came over secretly. The door was not open, so Yu Jingmo asked him where he came in from.
Yu Ti: "It's the osmanthus tree in the backyard. It's easy to climb."
Upon hearing this, Yu Jingmo glanced at Tian Ruan.
Tian Ruan: “…”
Yu Ti gave out her gift with a smile and twitched her nose, "It smells so good, are you making a cake?"
Yu Jingmo didn't chase her away, "Stay for dinner."
"Thank you, uncle!"
Yu Ti started playing with Tian Ruan. They found a game console and some game cartridges that looked very old from under the TV cabinet. They were all pixel games.
Tian Ruan had a dull childhood and had never played this kind of game, so he picked up "The Brave Man's Adventure House".
The game can be played alone or with two or three players. The brave man takes the magician, the samurai and a rabbit on an adventure, fighting monsters and clearing mazes along the way.
Yu Ti told him: "The ones with red lights are monsters, and only treasure chests with green names can be opened, otherwise they are all traps."
Yu Shang came and joined in. He played the role of a warrior. He ignored the brave man and magician behind him and reached the finish line alone. Game over.
Tian Ruan: “…”
Yu Ti: "Brother, why are you like this? Do you know what cooperation means?"
Yu Shang asked, "Are you coming again?"
Yu Ti was about to speak when Tian Ruan said, "Come."
The second one, a casual adventure game, was turned into a competitive game by three people. The brave magician and the warrior rushed to pass the levels. Not to mention cooperation, it was a blessing if they didn't hold each other back.
The warrior was the first to reach the finish line.
With the third and fourth weapons, the warrior opened more than half of the treasure chests and was the first to reach the finish line. Both the hero and the magician were silent.
"Brother, are you cheating?" Yu Ti asked.
Yu Shang: “No.”
"Then why do you win every time?"
"Good luck."
Others would say this and they deserve a beating, but Yu Shang found this very convincing because he is the protagonist and has the aura of the protagonist.
However, it is too infuriating to use the protagonist's halo on such trivial matters.
Tian Ruan pointed at Yu Shang angrily, "You, stop playing."
Yu Shang: "Can't afford to lose?"
Tian Ruan looked at Yu Jingmo, who was drinking tea in the teahouse, accusingly, "Mr. Yu, come and play."
"My dad doesn't play such childish games."
Yu Jingmo walked over with his long legs and reached out to Yu Shang for the game handle.
Yu Shang: “…”
The housekeeper who passed by and saw this scene smiled and said, "Mr. and Mrs. are so loving and sweet. They are a perfect match, talented and handsome."
Yu Shang glanced at him coldly.
The butler shut his mouth and slipped away without a second thought.
I don’t know if it was because the protagonist was fired or Yu Jingmo was willing to cooperate, but Tian Ruan finally felt the fun of the game. The warrior figurine he controlled, under the escort of the samurai figurine, successfully arrived at the finish line first.
Yu Ti laughed and said, "It's fun to play like this."
Yu Jingmo glanced at his son who was not convinced and said, "You are just too serious. You should learn to be humble when the time is right."
Yu Shang: “…Oh.”
As dusk gradually fell, the housekeeper and servants simply decorated the front yard of the manor. It happened to be a moonlit night, so there was no need for too many lights.
The four of them had dinner under the moon. Aunt Liu prepared nine dishes, one soup, and ten kinds of snacks, saying festive words: "Happy birthday, sir. May you have a happy and perfect life."
Yu Jingmo said: "Thank you."
"Shall we sing a birthday song for our uncle?" Yu Ti suggested.
Tian Ruan: "Okay."
Yu Shang looked embarrassed, but couldn't refuse.
"Happy birthday to you~Happy birthday to you~Happy birthday to you..." Tian Ruan and Yu Ti looked at Yu Shang at the same time.
Yu Shang: “…”
Yu Ti continued to sing: "I wish you happiness forever~"
Tian Ruan: "I wish you happiness~"
Yu Jingmo had a faint smile on his face, "Thank you, they all sound great."
"Hahaha..." Yu Ti laughed so hard that she fell backwards, "Brother, your tone-deafness hasn't improved yet?"
Yu Shang: "I'd better play the piano."
Yu Jingmo said: "Let's eat first."
Although the food at the birthday banquet was delicious, one couldn’t eat too much, so Tian Ruan left room for the cake.
Eating the sweet and soft cream cake, listening to the piano music coming from the living room, the full moon in the sky and the shadows on the ground formed pairs - Yu Jingmo came to Tian Ruan without knowing when.
"Is it delicious?" Yu Jingmo's low and deep voice was filled with the coolness of the night breeze and the fragrance of osmanthus.
Tian Ruan nodded seriously, "It's delicious."
At that moment, there was a long whistle of "whoosh", and the night sky exploded with colorful lights, which slowly drifted away like rain under the moon.
Fireworks soar into the sky with a resolute and magnificent momentum, determined to leave the most beautiful light and shadow at the moment of life blooming. Some are intertwined like willows in the smoke, some spread out like a canopy, or some are just a symmetrical and extremely gorgeous circle.
Yu Jingmo raised his eyes and did not look away for a long time.
He heard the young man's voice as soft as a handful of spring water from the south of the Yangtze River: "Does it look good?"
Yu Jingmo looked back amidst the dazzling fireworks and saw the curved corners of the young man's lips and smiling eyes. "Did you prepare this?"
Tian Ruan nodded proudly. He spent all the thousands of dollars he had on him to buy this fireworks feast. The reason why he was so willing to do so was mainly to thank Yu Jingmo for sending him to school.
"Don't you know that setting off fireworks is prohibited in the mountains and urban areas?"
Tian Ruan's smile froze on the corner of his mouth, "...Ah?"
After a moment, Yu Jingmo curved his lips and smiled: "If it is a private place, it doesn't matter. This hilltop is the property of the Yu family."
Tian Ruan was surprised to find himself being teased, "You..."
"It looks good." Yu Jingmo looked at him and said, "I like it very much."
Tian Ruan suddenly lost his voice, his heart seemed to be tightened, and his heart beat uncontrollably. He could only panic and avoid Yu Jingmo's gaze and stare at the fireworks in the night sky.
Yu Jingmo raised his hand to wipe the cream off the young man's lips, tasted it himself, and it was indeed very sweet.
Tian Ruan didn't dare to look at him, hoping that the fireworks would end soon, but at this moment -
Whoosh—bang—the fireworks exploded in the shape of a heart, and the shining English letters "LOVE" lingered for a long time.
Yu Jingmo raised his eyebrows slightly, "Is this also what you prepared for me?"
Tian Ruan: “…”
How come this crappy firework contains contraband?
