Chapter 26, Section 26: "Welcome to Fishy's Little Fish Account."...
Qi Youyu has her own biological clock, and she wakes up automatically at the appointed time every day.
The child, wrapped in a silkworm cocoon, moved twice, its thick eyelashes trembled slightly, and it slowly opened its eyes.
An enlarged human face hovered above her, waving and greeting: "Good morning, Little Fish! Did you get enough sleep?"
Qi Youyu swallowed back the yawn she was about to yawn, stared in shock at the two people who appeared at the head of the bed, and jumped up.
The child covered his mouth and shouted loudly towards the door, "Uncle, come quick! My grandparents have grown here!"
Yan Xingli, who was working out his chest muscles in the living room, almost lost his breath.
"What's so long about it? Grandma and Grandpa came in the middle of the night." He put down the dumbbells and appeared at the door of the guest room. "If you're awake, hurry up and wash up and have breakfast."
Yan Yuanqing: "Don't yell at the child."
She sat down on the edge of the bed with a smile, "Yuyu, shall Grandma help you get dressed?"
Qi Youyu lifted the blanket, revealing her little vest and shorts, and proudly raised her chin, saying, "Grandma, I can dress myself, and I can help other children get dressed too."
She can wear anything that doesn't have a tight neckline or a high neckline.
Yan Yuanqing gave a thumbs up, praising the child generously, and then casually took the new bracelet off her own wrist and gave it to the child.
Qi Youyu didn't understand the value of the bracelet; she just felt that her grandmother liked her too much and gave her a little toy to play with.
It's often said that the bond between grandparents and grandchildren grows stronger with time, and Yan Yuanqing and Su Yu perfectly exemplify this saying.
From the moment she started getting dressed and washing up, Xiaohua never managed to get a hand in anything.
Later, Yu Yu insisted on washing her face herself. After applying baby cream, she felt beautiful and admired herself in the mirror for a while before going out to eat.
Yan Xingli glanced at the child and noticed that the child's face was not clean.
"I just have rice grains in my eyes," Yu Yu argued, her face slightly flushed. "My uncle does too."
"I didn't."
Qi Youyu put down the small soup spoon, made a circle with her thumb and forefinger and placed it on her eyes: "Uncle has chocolate donuts on his eyes."
Yan Xingli was terrified and didn't sleep a wink all night; it was already quite good that he didn't get any pimples under his eyes.
If circumstances allowed, he would have already boarded a flight abroad.
Thinking of this, Yan Xingli felt unwell and hurriedly went to the toilet.
Yan Yuanqing shook his head and commented scathingly: "A lazy donkey on a millstone produces a lot of excrement and piss."
Looking back at Qi Youyu, who was eating heartily, her face lit up with a smile. She picked up a tea egg from the plate and said, "Yuyu, Grandma will peel an egg for you. Eating more eggs will help you grow faster."
"Thank you, Grandma."
"You're welcome." Yan Yuanqing placed the smooth egg into the child's bowl.
The egg was a little hot to the touch. Yu Yu tried to pierce it with a spoon but missed, and the smooth egg jumped out of the bowl, fell to the ground, and rolled twice.
Ele.me's dog pounced on its prey, but missed.
Su Yu quickly picked it up.
Qi Youyu quickly said, "I'm sorry, Grandma, I accidentally scared the eggs away."
"It's alright," Yan Yuanqing said.
Eleme (a food delivery platform) was eyeing it longingly from under the table.
Yan Yuanqing frowned upon seeing this: "Are you hungry? Food that fell on the ground is dirty. Eating it will easily make you sick and give you diarrhea. Go eat your food."
Qi Youyu was annoyed that she had wasted an egg.
The next second, the egg slid smoothly into Yan Xingli's bowl. Yu Yu's eyes widened. Yan Yuanqing smiled and said:
"A little dirt won't hurt you. Your uncle loves eggs the most."
When Yan Xingli returned, he saw an extra peeled egg in the bowl, and his suspicious gaze swept between the three of them.
Yan Yuanqing: "What are you looking at? Do you think the egg your mother peeled for you is poisoned?"
Yan Xingli was flattered and thought to himself, "What a wonderful day it is that Lady Yan has descended to earth."
"Thank you, Mom."
Seeing her uncle smiling so happily, Yu Yu believed what her grandmother said and gave Yan Xingli the egg she had half-eaten.
Yan Xingli retreated with a look of disgust.
Yu Yu frowned seriously, holding a small spoon as she lectured him: "Uncle, you can't just eat stray eggs. Eggs are all equal. You can only grow taller if you eat more."
[A stray egg, hahaha, indeed, it almost ended up in a dog's mouth, hhh]
[Got it, my uncle is at the very bottom of the family food chain, lol emoji.]
The news that Yu Yu was going to withdraw from the show also alarmed Yan Xingli's agency.
Yan Xingli had just finished dealing with his agent, Li Zhi, and hadn't even had a chance to breathe a sigh of relief when he immediately received a call from Bros.
"Toy spokesperson?"
"Yes, Yu Yu's appearance is a good match for the spokesperson we are looking for, and she also has a certain degree of online popularity, so we hope that she can come to participate in our spokesperson interview."
Unexpectedly, before the show even ended, Yu Yu received an endorsement offer. The little guy is much more capable than him.
Yan Xingli: "Thank you, Mr. Bros., but Yu Yu may not have time; she has to go home."
The child, who was playing a high-five game with his grandparents, twitched his ears and looked at Yan Xingli with his bright black eyes.
"They're looking for me." The child said confidently, then quickly got up and pressed his ear to his uncle's phone to listen. "It's Sister Xiaofu's dad."
Bros' Chinese is much better than his daughter's; he understood Yu Yu's words immediately.
Bros greeted Yu Yu on the phone, and the two chatted back and forth.
Yu Yu hung up the phone, and Yan Xingli glanced at her leisurely: "Do you even know what a spokesperson does before you agree to it so casually?"
Moreover, it's not like they're directly becoming a spokesperson; they have to spend time and effort preparing for the interview.
“I know,” Yu Yu said. “I help people mind the shop.”
The child was upset all day because she couldn't take her uncle's life-size standee from the bubble tea shop last time. Later, Yan Xingli explained it to her several times and gave her the standee that fans had given him, and that was the end of it.
Yan Xingli scoffed, "You know nothing."
"Grandma and Grandpa!" Yu Yu pinched Yan Xingli's mouth and shouted at the top of her lungs, "Uncle is swearing!"
The kind and gentle old couple's expressions changed instantly, and Yan Yuanqing strode forward: "You little brat, you **** (Zhongyuan Yayin)"
Qi young fish:oo
The Q-version little figure on Yan Xingli's head was whistling with his hands in his pockets. She thought he had learned his swearing from someone. It was hilarious; he was probably the most civilized person in the whole family.
[Hahaha, Yan Xingli seems to have such a tough life, yet he accepts it so calmly.]
For some reason, I feel like I've seen Yan Xingli's parents somewhere before.
To be honest, they also looked familiar; they resemble my future in-laws. (heart emoji)
*
Yan Shanyi is expected to land in S City at 11:00 AM.
After the family finished their meal and rested for a while, they prepared to head to the airport to pick someone up.
Wow, Yu Yu's mom is finally showing up! To give birth to such an adorable baby like Yu Yu, her mom must be a really interesting person.
[Looking forward to it!]
"Grandma and Grandpa, Yuyu isn't cold."
"Oh dear, how can you not be cold? Grandma feels cold just looking at you." Yan Yuanqing chased after the child, carrying a thick down jacket. "Sweetie, come here quickly, Grandma will help you put on your clothes."
Qi Youyu really disliked being restricted by heavy clothes, but she couldn't reason with Yan Yuanqing, so she simply took out the little grape-shaped thermal chip from her pocket and pinned it to Yan Yuanqing's hair.
"Grandma, Little Grape is just like my Little Apple; it won't get cold when you wear it."
Yan Yuanqing happily agreed, "Yes, Grandma is so happy right now. Thank you for the gift, Yu Yu."
Qi Youyu knew that Yan Yuanqing didn't understand.
"Xiaohua, go open the doors and windows."
Yan Yuanqing and Su Yu were puzzled. As soon as the doors and windows were opened, a cold wind blew in, instantly dispelling the warmth.
Wearing shorts and a t-shirt, Su Yu had goosebumps all over her body and shivered through gritted teeth.
Yan Xingli crossed his arms and slammed the doors and windows shut in two quick steps, complaining that it was freezing.
Only Yan Yuanqing and Qi Youyu showed no reaction.
Looking at the frail father and son, Yan Yuanqing sensed something was amiss. Hesitantly, she reached out and took off the little grape hair clip, then walked to the window and opened it.
The cold wind made her shiver.
Close it, put on the hair clip, and then open the window.
After this happened twice, an expression of disbelief gradually appeared on Yan Yuanqing's face.
Su Yu was puzzled and worried: "Yuan Yuan, what are you doing? It's cold and windy outside. Stop playing and come back quickly."
Yan Yuanqing ignored her and quickly walked over to Yu Yu and squatted down beside her.
"Yuyu Bao, who bought this hair clip?" she asked with a bright look. "Grandma wants to buy some too."
"It's free."
The child cupped his cheeks and said happily, "This is Yu Yu's own little invention. I can give a few to Grandma."
The unexpected answer left Yan Yuanqing unsure whether to believe it or not. After a moment of doubt and surprise, she unconsciously turned her gaze to Yan Xingli.
Yan Xingli looked down and pretended to check the time.
"It's almost time, let's get dressed and head out."
Viewers watching the live stream were also confused: [What's wrong with the hair clip?]
[Those little hair clips are everywhere in Yiwu... what's so special about them? Is this just a prelude to selling other products?]
The comments section was filled with conflicting opinions, and no one offered a definitive answer.
But netizens were soon shocked by the outfits of Yu Yu and Yan Yuanqing. The grandmother and granddaughter were dressed like they were going to a bathhouse in the dead of winter, with very little fabric on their bodies.
What's going on here?
[...I have a bold guess: could the little apple on Yu Yu's head be some kind of high-tech thermal insulation product? As long as you wear it, you won't feel cold; it's even better than a heater.]
[I had the same feeling about the person above. Remember the residential gas explosion last month? The person involved escaped unharmed because a mysterious alien gave her a bracelet.]
[Great! I'll sell insurance to you from now on.]
Along the way, Su Yu would touch his wife's forehead one moment and Yu Yu's arm the next.
It was all warm, showing no signs of being chilled by the cold wind.
Yan Shanyi had specifically instructed that they didn't need to wait at the airport arrival gate, so the whole family stayed in the car.
Fishy's face was pressed against the car window, her delicate little nose was flattened, and from the outside she looked like a chubby little pig.
Rain began to fall slowly from the sky, and raindrops pattered against the car window.
Yu Yu became inexplicably excited: "Uncle, there are so many little beans!"
Yan Xingli: "We can't waste them, let's eat them all quickly, or they'll be gone when the sun comes out."
"Okay, okay."
Fish carefully picked up the pieces from the glass, popping them into its mouth and chewing as it ate the air.
After Yu Yu finished eating the left side, she moved on to the right side. Just as she started eating the little beans on the windshield, Yan Shanyi finally arrived.
As soon as the car door opened, the camera shot in a face that drove the online comments section into a frenzy.
Yan Xingli, who had been leaning back in his seat like he had no bones, subconsciously straightened up, his posture so upright that not a single flaw could be found.
Like mother, like father, Yan Shanyi inherited her mother's height and business acumen, as well as her father's gentle and refined features. However, this did not prevent her from possessing an aura of authority without anger.
Yan Yuanqing got out of the car and gave her a bear hug: "Xiaoyi, Mommy's precious daughter, Mommy missed you so much."
Yan Shanyi caught his mother steadily and glanced at Yan Yuanqing, who was dressed provocatively in the dead of winter.
His tone was not pleasant: "Mom, you're wearing too little."
“This is still too little, I think it’s too much. You have no idea how hot I am.” Yan Yuanqing said at the Versailles racetrack, “You have no idea how happy your mother is right now.”
Yan Shanyi had been on a plane for more than ten hours and hadn't watched the live stream, so she didn't know what had happened.
She instinctively looked at Yan Xingli: "You didn't take good care of Mom."
Yan Xingli felt wronged, his eyes filled with accusation: "Don't wrong an innocent person, it was Mom who didn't want to wear it."
Yan Yuanqing took her daughter's arm and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore, let's go home."
[Holy crap, I recognize her! This is Yan Shanyi, the current general manager of Minghui Group, with a net worth exceeding 10 billion US dollars, and the only female entrepreneur on the Forbes Top Ten list.]
[Holy crap, my dimensional barrier has been broken!]
[Wow, I looked it up! Mom is the chairwoman of Minghui Group, one of the first female entrepreneurs in mainland China. It's amazing that Ms. Yan inherited her mother's business!]
When Yan Shanyi appeared, the cameraman's hand trembled slightly. He couldn't believe that this big shot, who always appeared only at high-end events, had appeared in his lens without warning.
The staff behind the scenes were in an uproar.
Bai Ji, who was watching in real time, was struck dumb. Yan Shanyi was Yan Xingli's older sister.
Don't be ridiculous, isn't Yan Xingli a poor guy who works part-time every day to support himself?
Bai Ji hurriedly rummaged through the photo album and pulled out the photos of Yan Xingli meeting with a female tycoon. After comparing them carefully over and over again, he despairingly discovered that it seemed to be Yan Shanyi.
No wonder all the negative trending topics he bought were suppressed, and Xia Li abandoned him without hesitation for Yan Xingli. No wonder the paparazzi refused to release the evidence even though they had solid proof.
So they were afraid to expose it!
Bai Ji braced his swaying body with both hands, like a defeated rooster with an expression of resentment and unwillingness, his eyes fixed on the two faces on the big screen.
[That fish definitely isn't President Yan's child; I've never heard of President Yan ever being married.]
[Definitely not. President Yan has never been in a relationship, and no man is good enough for him!]
Subsequent developments indeed confirmed the netizens' predictions.
As soon as Yan Shanyi got into the car, she noticed Qi Youyu in the baby chair. Her cold aura made the child a little nervous and uneasy.
Yan Shanyi slowly curved her lips into a smile: "Yu Yu."
When she doesn't smile, her eyes and brows hold a cold indifference that keeps people at a distance; when she smiles, she gives people a gentle feeling, like a spring breeze.
Phew, she's a gentle auntie.
Yu Yu's eyes lit up, and she shouted at the top of her lungs, "Auntie!"
Yan Yuanqing and Su Yu: ? ? ?
[I guessed right, they're definitely not mother and daughter!]
Yan Shanyi's luggage was carried by her assistant and driver, so she didn't need to have a baby at home for the time being, and Yan Xingli was happy to have some free time.
As soon as the family stepped out of the elevator, Yan Shanyi heard a faint barking sound from a dog.
As soon as the door opened, Eleme and Qianjin swarmed around, their tear ducts working overtime.
Yan Shanyi's expression softened unconsciously as he knelt down and demurely offered his mother a gentle touch and comfort.
*
The family lived peacefully during the day, but the atmosphere changed instantly as soon as the live stream ended.
Apart from the occasional giggles from Yu Yu, the entire living room was eerily silent.
Ascending the court—
"Tell me, what happened?" Yan Yuanqing sat in the middle of the sofa, holding Yu Yu, looking down at the siblings who had different thoughts.
Yan Shanyi turned his head, his expression unreadable, and asked, "Yan Xingli, what's going on?"
Yan Xingli feigned ignorance: "What? What happened?"
Yan Yuanqing: "Xiaoyi, you tell me."
Yan Shanyi: "Mom, it's none of my business."
"It's none of your business, but whose business is it? What, is Yu Yu my daughter with your dad?" Yan Yuanqing laughed angrily. "Your dad and I have only been here for two days, and Yu Yu has already announced her withdrawal from the recording. And by such a coincidence, you rushed back from abroad. Do you dare say you have nothing to hide?"
The fact that they couldn't find any information about Yu Yu's background was already very suspicious.
Yan Yuanqing felt that no one but his daughter could do this.
Yan Shanyi remained silent on the matter. She had long anticipated that this huge accusation would be pinned on her, so she stopped pretending and decided to lay her cards on the table.
She pulled a red notebook from her purse, waved it in front of Yan Xingli, and asked with a smile that didn't reach her eyes:
"Yes, I'm also very curious. How come there's an extra person on my household registration book without me, the head of the household, even knowing it?"
"Yan Xingli, is there anything you'd like to say?"
Yan Xingli broke out in a cold sweat.
What should I say? Can't I just say "Wishing you prosperity"? My older sister will probably kick me so hard I can't get off the wall.
Yan Yuanqing ignored the strange atmosphere between the siblings; she was more interested in the household registration book in her daughter's hand, believing it to be an admission of guilt.
Su Yu understood his wife's signal in his eyes, took the household registration book from Yan Shanyi, and respectfully presented it as evidence in court.
Yan Yuanqing opened the red booklet, her brows furrowing deeper and deeper.
"Xiao Yi," Su Yu said, "Why is there something missing from your household registration book? Hey, don't upset your mother."
Short weight? Yan Shanyi took a long stride, picked up the household registration booklet, flipped it over, and his pupils contracted slightly.
"There was a page for Yu Yu in the household registration book before the plane landed."
Fortunately, she has a habit of keeping records of her work, and when she noticed something was wrong, she quickly recorded it with her phone.
She showed the videos and pictures she had recorded to her parents, and Yan Xingli suddenly felt a little foolish.
With Yan Shanyi eyeing them covetously from the front and the elderly couple resorting to torture and interrogation from behind, neither of them were easy to fool.
He silently lowered his head, and Yan Shanyi quickly noticed his guilty look.
"Yan Xingli, you've got some nerve, daring to tamper with my household registration." Yan Shanyi chuckled coldly. "I'll give you a chance to confess honestly, or don't blame me for turning against my own family."
Yan Xingli closed his eyes, his mouth was flying but his brain gave up on chasing: "Okay, actually Yu Yu is my daughter, that's right, I gave birth to her myself."
...
One sentence caused chaos throughout the entire family.
Yan Xingli was no match for three pairs of fists, and he timidly covered his head, preparing to fight to the end.
"Stop arguing."
"My uncle is my great-grandfather, and I am the baby after my uncle's many babies."
The air grew still.
Qi Youyu climbed onto the sofa and hugged her poor uncle, generously letting him lean against her small chest.
Yan Yuanqing's eye twitched: "Xiaoxing, is this how you usually fool kids? You're her ancestor, so what are your dad and me then, old codgers?"
Yan Xingli: "..."
Things have come to this.
He looked at Yu Yu, and the grandfather and granddaughter exchanged glances.
Yan Xingli, with his hands behind his back, said, "Come on, Yu Yu, show me."
Upon receiving her uncle's instruction, Yu Yu responded loudly, "Okay!"
Thus, the Yan family of four witnessed a scene they would never forget.
The Little Fish made a grand entrance out of thin air, its hatch slowly opening to reveal a long ladder paved with white light.
The technology, out of step with this era, made the three people at the top of society stiffen, their pupils shrinking as they reflected the unknown spacecraft.
"Flying saucer?"
Someone swallowed a large mouthful.
"Old Su, this... I must be dreaming, right?"
A little girl skipped and hopped to the bottom of the long ladder, then turned around and waved vigorously: "Grandma and Grandpa, come on up! Fishy's Little Fish welcomes you!"
