"[Damn it!]"
"Well, actually, Grandpa, I'm under a lot of pressure too. He called us back a few days ago and scolded us for not giving him a grandchild yet," said Yu Li with a bitter expression. "Jingchen and I can only work hard, night after night..."
"Enough!" Grandpa Yu interrupted Yu Li in time. Although they were all family, they couldn't talk about such things openly.
As soon as Yu Li spoke, Yu Mo'er's face turned pale, and she looked at Ren Jingchen with a hint of sadness in her eyes.
Ren Jingchen was also shocked by Yu Li's words. This woman really dared to say anything, and naturally didn't notice the change in Yu Mo'er's expression.
"Okay, sit down now. Since everyone is here, I have something to announce," said Yu Guanghua, clearing his throat. He put his hand on Fang Jiu's shoulder and looked at Grandpa Yu. "Dad, congratulations on having another grandchild!"
Everyone present was slightly surprised, including Grandpa Yu. Yu Mo'er looked at Fang Jiu, not knowing what she was thinking, and forced a smile. "Congratulations, Aunt Fang."
Grandpa Yu's face darkened slightly when he heard that Fang Jiu was pregnant again. If it was a boy, it would be great. Although he didn't believe in favoring boys over girls, having a son to inherit the family name would be the best. He looked at Fang Jiu with a hint of satisfaction in his eyes.
"You are not young anymore. This pregnancy will be very dangerous. Be sure to rest well at home," the doctor said.
Upon hearing this, Fang Jiu knew that his father was happy and nodded repeatedly. "I understand, Dad."After finishing the meal, Yu Moer was called away by her agent's phone call. Ren Jingchen watched her leave without any eye contact between them.
Since entering the house, Ren Jingchen had been paying attention to Yu Li, just to prevent her from bullying Moer. Did Moer make him angry? What went wrong?
The more Ren Jingchen thought about it, the more annoyed he became, and he left for the company on the pretext of work.
Fang Jiu had originally wanted to stay and talk to Ren Jingchen, but was stopped by Yu Li. "Mom, Jingchen is very busy with work."
'Old lady, he's going out to chase after the moonlight. Let's not bother him, okay?'
Ren Jingchen: "..."
After Ren Jingchen left, Grandpa Yu went upstairs to rest, and Yu Guanghua was also called away by the company. Fang Jiu and Yu Li took a car back to the villa.Grandpa Yu couldn't stand Fang Jiu and her daughter, so Yu Guanghua had to move out with them.
Fang Jiu held onto Yu Li's wrist and didn't let go. "A-Li, what about you and Jingchen..."
"Mom, no one can predict matters of the heart," Yu Li comforted Fang Jiu by patting her hand. "What's most important for you now is to be safe and give birth to this little brother in your belly."
"How do you know it's a little brother? I feel like this pregnancy is similar to when I was pregnant with you," Fang Jiu said. Although she loved her daughter, she also wanted a son. Having a son and a daughter would make a perfect family.
Moreover, having a son by her side would be better to tie Yuguanghua's heart to home.
"At four months, it should be detectable and we can know in advance," Yuli knew it must be a boy, and it wouldn't hurt to do the checkup early to make Fang Jiu feel more comfortable.Fang Jiu's face seemed a bit conflicted when she spoke, "I like both boys and girls."
Perhaps Fang Jiu was bored at home alone on weekdays, and today she chatted with Yuli for a long time before finally going to rest in her room when she couldn't resist her drowsiness.
Yang Jie called in the evening to inform her of a recording activity for the New Generation 2019 tomorrow. Yuli couldn't fall asleep in her bed, so she turned to the system for help.
In the end, the system found her annoying and blocked her directly.
Yuli slept until dawn in a daze. She still didn't figure out what was going on when Yang Jie dragged her into the car, and the makeup artist helped her put on makeup.
"Miss, did you not sleep well last night? You can't even cover your dark circles," Yang Jie looked at Yuli worriedly. Today, they were going to film the interaction between mentors and students, and this state was not acceptable.Yuli yawned and rubbed her sleepy eyes, "I had insomnia last night. Let me rest for a while."
Yang Jie said, "Okay, we still have an hour's drive. You can rest first."
An hour later, the nanny car stopped smoothly at the entrance of the recording studio.
When Yu Li got off the car, she glanced at the three cars parked next to hers and frowned. Was she the latest one again?
Yu Li's guess was correct. When she arrived at the dressing room, the other three mentors had already started discussing the process. Jing Zhao and Wang Yang greeted Yu Li, while Sun Ruobing gave her a strange look and turned her head away.
Yu Li: "..." This ice beauty really knows how to hold a grudge.
The recording began, and Jing Zhao and Wang Yang were the first to explain singing techniques to the students and offer advice on each person's issues. Finally, it was Yu Li and Sun Ruobing's turn.
Sun Ruobing just stood on the side and didn't speak.
Yu Li laughed, "Um, I don't know what to say. Why don't you guys ask me some questions?"
"Teacher Yu Li, can you still learn to dance well if your limbs are stiff?"
"Yes." Yu Li nodded almost without hesitation and continued, "As long as you improve your flexibility, it's possible. However, it may be difficult for you at your age to learn to dance, but opportunities are reserved for those who work hard. As long as you can show others your efforts, you will succeed."
"Teacher Sun Ruobing, can you improvise a dance for us?"
"I don't see anything special about my dancing. Why don't we let Teacher Yu Li perform instead?" Sun Ruobing's gaze fell on Yu Li without any warmth. The dance she performed last time was probably rehearsed, and only an improvised performance by her could truly demonstrate her abilities.
Upon being suddenly prompted by Sun Ruobing, Yu Li was taken aback for a moment before bursting out laughing. "Sure, no problem. Could you please play some music though? It'll look silly if we just dance without any music."
"What kind of music?" the staff member asked.
Yu Li shrugged nonchalantly. "Anything works. I'm good at ethnic dances, or maybe something with a slower tempo."
With that, Yu Li took off her jacket, revealing a shapely figure in a black turtleneck. The surrounding onlookers cheered and whistled.
As the beautiful music began to play, Yu Li danced a completely different style from the last time, this time with a more cheerful and upbeat routine.
As she finished her last pose, applause erupted. "So beautiful!"
"So stunning!""Thank you." Yu Li smiled and bent down, tucking a few stray hairs behind her ear. Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Sun Ruobing, who had lowered her head and seemed to have grown even more melancholic.
