Yu's father actually turned on his phone and played the national anthem.
Grandpa Yu grabbed a slipper and slapped it at him.
"Why play the national anthem so late at night? It's only for raising the national flag! It's completely disrespectful!"
"Aren't you and San Dong on good terms? Didn't you know about their family's troubles last year?"
"Last year? What could have happened to the Chen family?"
"You and that Chen guy from San Dong, you used to go to bars and KTVs and those shady places together, and you called your best buddies! How come you know nothing about his family's affairs?"
"My relationship with Xiao Chen is definitely very close. It's not that I don't ask, it's that he won't tell me! I'll ask him now, and he'll definitely tell me everything!"
Mr. Yu immediately called Xiao Chen to inquire about the strange incident from last year.
Xiao Chen stammered on the phone, "It's nothing, it's nothing serious, it's all in the past, there's no need to mention it again..."
Hearing the sound coming from the speakerphone, Old Master Yu looked at his son provocatively.
It was as if his eyes were saying: Look, you treat him like a best friend, but he's hiding something from you! He even boasted that he would tell you everything if you asked!
Mr. Yu was utterly humiliated and became enraged.
He yelled into the phone, "I always let you order the princess first, and you, when something happens, you just stammer and don't treat me like a brother at all! We're not playing together anymore!"
Upon hearing this, Old Master Yu rolled his eyes, thinking to himself: "At his age, he's still threatening others by saying we won't play together anymore! How childish! This son of his has been ruined!"
Surprisingly, when Xiao Chen heard this threat, he immediately began to beg for mercy: "Xiao Yu, we've been childhood friends since we were little, how could I possibly keep it from you? It's just that this is really hard to talk about, it concerns the face of the old man and my little brother, I'm afraid if word gets out, the old man will beat me up!"
"Tell me, and I won't tell anyone else!"
"Okay, fine, but please don't tell anyone!"
"I definitely won't tell anyone, so tell me now!"
"Here's the thing, my parents had a second child, and even though they're quite old, they still gave me a younger brother. Last year, this little brother suddenly became strange and absent-minded, like he'd lost his soul. He used to have excellent grades, but last year he failed every single subject."
"My father thought my younger brother was being bullied at school, which was why his grades plummeted. But after finding out, he discovered that my younger brother wasn't being bullied at all; he was the one who was bullying others!"
“My younger brother and his friends once bullied a transfer student, causing the transfer student to be afraid to go to school. The transfer student’s father hired a shady character to set up a scheme.”
"The child who had bullied the transfer student became very strange. He couldn't concentrate on his studies, was absent-minded all day, and even developed severe sleepwalking symptoms."
"My father hired a master who broke the spell, so my younger brother returned to normal."
"This kind of thing happened because my younger brother was shameless and provoked others first. He deserved to be retaliated against. The old man felt he lost face, so he forbade me to tell anyone."
Yu's father asked suspiciously, "Is that really true? Your younger brother probably just failed his exam; it has nothing to do with this, right?"
"Sigh, I knew you wouldn't believe me even if I told you."
"Actually, I didn't believe it at first either. I even suspected that my younger brother was in a relationship, which is why his grades plummeted. I investigated and found that my younger brother developed these symptoms after bullying that transfer student."
"Moreover, all the people who bullied the transfer student at the time are now like this. One or two might be an accident, but when several people develop these symptoms, it's no longer an accident."
After hanging up the phone, Mr. Yu looked incredulous: "Grandpa, is this really true?"
Grandpa Yu sighed: "These kinds of things used to happen a lot, but they happen less now. In the past, when transportation companies competed, they would resort to unconventional methods when they couldn't do things through normal means. Some casinos, hotels, clubs... all of them would use some unconventional methods to some extent."
"What exactly is that piece of black cloth?" Mr. Yu's face was grave. "Has someone cursed our Yu family?"
"Don't worry about it for now. I'm taking Xiaolong back to our ancestral land tomorrow. Are you coming with us?"
"No, no, no!"
Mr. Yu shook his head repeatedly and took several steps back: "I'm very busy! Old man, I'm very, very busy. I still have a lot of documents to read. I have to go and get back to work!"
Watching him flee in disarray, Old Master Yu cursed, "Coward!"
...
"Hey Lao Han, are you free lately?"
"It's quite empty."
Henry is now Hanley, the children's uncle, and he works even harder than the real grandfather, taking excellent care of and soothing the children.
The young master had misunderstood him before, and perhaps feeling guilty, he has been much more restrained lately, so Han Fei's life is quite comfortable.
"How about you come with me back to the Yu family's ancestral home?"
"Do all members of the Yu family really have that birthmark?"
"Yes, go and see for yourself. Everyone has it, from childhood to old age."
"It's amazing, like a kind of inherited totem."
"Haha, actually the clan chief said something similar. He said that this is a kind of totem of inheritance."
When are you leaving?
"Shall we pick you up at eight o'clock tomorrow morning?"
"No need, I'll go to the Yu family to find you tomorrow."
After informing Han Fei, Grandpa Yu waited for his grandson Xiaolong to return. Usually, Xiaolong would be back by this time, but today he waited and waited, and Xiaolong still hadn't come back.
"How about we give them a call and urge them to come back for dinner? If they're not coming back, we can eat first, okay?" Mr. Yu looked at the table full of cold dishes, his stomach rumbling.
"What if Xiaolong is busy? Don't make the call!"
Mr. Yu was extremely aggrieved and secretly reached for the chopsticks, preparing to sneak a bite when the old man wasn't looking.
Yu's mother glanced at him sideways: "You dare to eat it!"
Startled, Mr. Yu withdrew his hand and whispered, "Don't shout. If the old man hears me, I'm finished."
Yu's mother glared at him: "If you dare to eat first, I'll yell! I'll wait and see Dad beat you!"
"You woman, I'm your man, are you happy that I got slapped?"
"Yes, I'm happy, I enjoy watching!"
Ever since this socialite started throwing a bottle at someone, she's become completely unrestrained and a notorious troublemaker in her social circle. Anyone who dares to make sarcastic remarks to her will be met with a bottle, and her temper has become increasingly volatile.
Mr. Yu touched his nose, feeling a little scared of his daughter-in-law who might suddenly start beating him at any moment. A group of wealthy women's husbands had complained to him about her.
They say his wife has been yelling at someone else's wife, grabbing a wine bottle at someone else's wife, and slapping someone else's wife!
Every time, he felt a chill in his heart. He dared not go home and blame his wife, lest the anger fall on him and she slap him instead of those wealthy women!
Another half hour passed, and Mr. Yu was completely exhausted from hunger: "What's wrong with this child? Why didn't he come back or even call? Did he eat out?"
Yu's mother said coldly, "Even if the child eats outside, you are not allowed to say anything to him when he comes back! If you say even a bad word about him..." Yu's mother moved her hand joints and actually made a cracking sound.
Yu's father trembled: Here she comes, she's warming up, she's about to slap me!
Mr. Yu coughed lightly: "I didn't say anything. How could I say anything to him? I was just venting to you. I would never say anything to him, absolutely not!"
Yu Long has returned, but his condition worries his whole family.
At this moment, Yu Long's head was covered in dirt, his clothes were covered in mud and water, and the skin near his eyes and temples was broken.
"Xiaolong! What's wrong with you! Did you encounter robbers?" Yu's mother rushed forward to support her son and checked him over.
Yu Long was still a little uncomfortable with his mother's concern. He blushed and shook his head: "No, I didn't encounter any robbers."
The bodyguard standing nearby looked distressed: "Young Master was hit by a flowerpot blown down by the wind. Luckily, I pushed him away, but he got dirt on his head. When he tried to brush the dirt off, his fingernails scratched his face. Then a passing car splashed mud all over him..."
This journey has been incredibly unlucky.
