"Ally, can you please stop talking!" Yu Moer was worried that her grandfather would really pass out from anger, and for the first time, she was impatient with Yu Li.
Yu Li snorted lightly, "It's not like I want to say it. It's you guys who called me here and made me say it!"
"You! You...cough, cough." Grandpa Yu coughed so hard that he couldn't catch his breath, his face turned red with anger, and he couldn't speak.
"Grandpa, Ally didn't mean anything else. Don't be angry." Yu Moer quickly instructed the nanny to bring the quick-acting heart pill and feed it to Grandpa Yu. She watched as his face slowly eased, and the heart that had been hanging high finally landed.
Grandpa Yu closed his eyes and was already too lazy to deal with Yu Li. He waved his hand impatiently, "Get out! Get out quickly!"
"Then I'll go back first." Yu Li didn't expect things to be resolved so easily. If it were usual, according to Grandpa Yu's temper, she would have to apologize. Has he changed his mind today?
After Yu Li left, Yu Moer sat close to Grandpa Yu and comforted him, "Grandpa, Ally has never been good at following the rules. Why bother getting angry with her?"
"It's still Moer who understands." Grandpa Yu patted Yu Moer's hand back with relief and sighed, "If you were a boy, Grandpa would have handed the company over to you without hesitation. It's a pity..."
Yu Moer's eyes flickered slightly, "Grandpa, is it really a boy in Aunt Fang's belly?"
"I don't mean anything else. If it really is a boy, I will be happy for your father. The Yu family finally has someone to succeed, but..." Grandpa Yu's tone paused, as if he was hesitating whether he could say the next words.Grandpa Yu nodded to signal Yu Mo'er to continue, "But what?"
"Nothing," Yu Mo'er shook her head, "When my younger brother takes over the company in the future, Dad will be almost seventy. I don't know if my younger brother will have the ability to suppress those old shareholders of the company."
Grandpa Yu didn't focus on those old shareholders of the company, but on the most critical issue that Mo'er had just mentioned.
Will his grandson be manipulated by his elder sister and mother when he is too young in the future?
Grandpa Yu frowned again, it seemed that he needed to think about how to arrange this matter.
Yu Mo'er: "..."
...
That night.
A slender figure stood in front of the large French window, staring blankly at the dark sky outside.
"Buzzing..." The urgent ringtone from the phone in her pocket interrupted Yu Mo'er's thoughts. She glanced at the jumping contact name on the screen and her eyes flickered slightly before answering.
"Hello?"
"Mo'er, is it convenient to talk now?"
"Uncle, is there something wrong?" Although she knew she was in the room, Yu Mo'er still looked back at the closed door behind her for safety.
"Fang Jiu Huai has a boy." The tone was not questioning, but very certain.
Yu Mo'er gently swayed the highball glass in her hand, and the red liquid drew a beautiful arc along the rim of the glass before returning to calmness. "Yes."
"What are you going to do?" The question was simple and straightforward.
Yu Mo'er's fingers holding the highball glass tightened slightly. "Uncle, no matter what you want to do, the child is innocent."
"You're just too kind-hearted, that's why she took advantage of you. When Fang Jiu bullied you at home, why didn't she think you were innocent?"
"Okay, Uncle knows your temper. Calling was just to ask, leave the rest to Uncle to handle."
"..." Yu Moer didn't say anything, the other party had already hung up the phone. She looked at the black screen of her phone, her mind echoing with thoughts about Ren Jingchen.
"Ah--" a very fearful scream pierced the silence of the night.
Yu Li stared at the ceiling for a few seconds after waking up, suddenly realizing something, and hurriedly ran to the next room with a "snap" and turned on the light.
The bright crystal chandelier made it difficult for people to open their eyes. Yu Li ran to Fang Jiu's bed in three steps and two steps, looking at her worriedly.
Fang Jiu was sweating all over, panting heavily, obviously awakened by a nightmare.
"Mom, it's okay, it's just a dream." Yu Li comforted her softly.
This was the fifth consecutive night that Fang Jiu had nightmares.
Yu Guanghua was working overtime at the company. He heard that there was a big project to be won recently, and he had to accompany the business partner.
After Fang Jiu had calmed down for a long time, her emotions gradually became stable, and her gaze fell on Yu Li. "A-Li."
Her voice was a little hoarse, and Yu Li poured her a glass of warm water. "Mom, drink some water first to soothe your throat."
"A-Li, do you think this child can be safe?" Fang Jiu's eyes were a little red. She held onto Yu Li's wrist tightly. Perhaps realizing that this was too ominous, she hesitated to say it.
"Mom, my little brother will definitely be born safely, no matter what happens, I'm here." Yu Li half hugged Fang Jiu's shoulder, gently stroking her back. "Dad hasn't been home these days, and I still have to go for filming. Do you want to come with me?"
"I'm fine," Fang Jiu shook her head. "You should focus on your work."
"Okay." Yu Li was still worried. During work, he would call Fang Jiu every few hours to make sure she was okay before he could continue working.
Recently, Yang Jie noticed that Yu Li's phone calls seemed to be too frequent. At first, she thought it was Ren Jingchen, but after asking, she found out it was his mother.
"A-Li, I remember you said before that your mom seems to disagree with you entering the entertainment industry." Yang Jie picked up a piece of broccoli with her chopsticks and asked casually while eating.
Fang Jiu really didn't want Yu Li to enter the entertainment industry. She probably felt that being an artist was too hard and the exposure was too high, leaving no room for privacy.
But Yu Li insisted on doing what she wanted to do, and even Fang Jiu couldn't do anything about it.
Fang Jiu's parenting philosophy was to spoil her children.
Yu Li was now a little worried that his brother would be spoiled, after all, it's said that boys are raised in poverty and girls are raised in wealth.
Yu Li didn't like to eat vegetables, so he put all the green vegetables into Yang Jie's bowl. "Well, she's worried that I'll be too tired."
"I also heard that your mom is pregnant?"
Yu Li paused with his chopsticks in his hand, looking up at Yang Jie in confusion. "Who told you that?"
"The fact that Fang Jiu is pregnant is currently only known by their family members. It's impossible for Yu Li to reveal it to anyone, including Yang Jie."
"This is not a secret. It's being talked about in the industry."
"..." Yu Li's originally pretty face slightly furrowed her brows. The more people who knew, the less advantageous it was for Fang Jiu.
"[Xiao Tongtong], will the plot in the original world be changed in any way?"
Yu Li was indeed worried that her existence might cause some small accidents.
She remembered that in the original world, Fang Jiu had only announced the news after giving birth in order to protect the child in her belly.
