Yu Yu got out of the car, took a deep breath, and entered the villa.
As soon as she entered the living room, a servant came forward and said softly, “Second Miss, Old Master is waiting for you in the study on the second floor.”
“Got it.”
Yu Yu handed over the gift that was in her hand.
“I heard that Grandfather has been coughing badly recently. This is the Chuanbei loquat dew that I specially brought back. My friend said that it’s very effective. Remember to give it to Grandfather when you get back.”
The servant took it and said, “Second Miss is truly filial to the old man.”
Unfortunately, not being favored meant that no matter how many gifts were sent, it would still not make any impression on the old man.
Of course, the staff would never dare to say these words to her face, at most this would only be discussed in private.
Yu Yu thanked her and went upstairs.
Whenever she came to the old house, her manners were always impeccable. She even dealt with the servants and drivers very well, so no one could ever pick out a single fault with her.
The servants looked at her back and shook their heads.
The young master who had caused trouble was still out enjoying himself and behaving as if he had done nothing wrong. Instead, the second young miss who had done nothing wrong had been implicated and had to come back to be reprimanded.
It was really hard to explain.
…
Yu Yu went upstairs and went to the study.
Reading on Mybo xn o v el. com ,Please!
Old Master Yu, Yu Zhou, was sitting behind his desk and flipping through a newspaper.
Yu Yu stood still and called out respectfully, “Grandfather.”
Old Master Yu did not seem to hear her, nor did he raise his head. He did not respond in any way either.
Yu Yu continued to stand there.
The room was silent, filled with an indescribable pressure.
It was only when Yu Yu’s legs started to ache that she could not help but say, “Grandfather, your recent health–”
Crash!
Old Master Yu threw the newspaper at her.
Yu Yu tilted her head so the newspaper only brushed past her face. However, the sharp edges of the newspaper caused her to feel a sharp pain.
The newspaper fell to the ground.
“Are you satisfied that this matter has come to this point?!”
Old Master Yu shouted in a deep voice.
Yu Yu paused, bent down, and picked up the newspaper. She then folded it and carefully placed it on the desk.
She lowered her head with an apologetic look on her face.
“I’m sorry, Grandfather. I was too careless this time.”
Old Master Yu stared at her with a cold expression on his face.
“Yu Yu, if it wasn’t for Yu Cheng speaking up for you back then, did you think you could have established that brand of yours?! Now, you almost destroyed your brother because of it!”
When Yu Yu had wanted to establish her own brand, Old Master Yu had not agreed.
It was only after Yu Cheng had persuaded him several times that Old Master Yu finally relented and gave her the start-up capital.
Later on, Yu Yu’s resources had continued to develop smoothly. Besides Yu Yu’s own ability, she had also continued to receive help from the Yu family.
After all, there were many talented designers, but only a few were capable of being famous and benefiting from it.
From Old Master Yu’s point of view, Yu Yu’s achievements were mostly due to the Yu family.
Compared to Yu Cheng, her achievements were nothing.
If Yu Yu had not specifically invited Yu Cheng over to her show, why would so much trouble have been caused?
Yu Yu lowered her head and looked at the floor.
On the way here, she had already expected old master Yu to say this, so she was not surprised at all.
She had invited Yu Cheng to watch the show, but it was not because of her that Yu Cheng had beaten Pan Jiajia to that extent!
But of course, Old Master Yu would not listen to these words.
When Old Master Yu was finally done venting, she said softly,”Grandfather, I truly know my mistake this time. I’ve already disbanded YU, so I’ll put more effort into Yu Group Media in the future.”
Old Master Yu said coldly, “I shouldn’t have even let you do this in the first place!”
Yu Yu paused for a moment before saying, “Grandfather, please wait a little longer. The results of the membership selection for the Bai City Fashion Association will be announced tomorrow–”
Old Master Yu suddenly interrupted her, as if he had just heard a joke.
“Why? Do you still think you have a chance to be selected?”
Yu Yu pretended not to hear the sarcasm and ridicule in his words. She pursed her lips and said, “Although YU is no more, the membership selection does not solely depend on independent brands. Even if I don’t have my own brand, my identity as a designer will not change. Mr. Craig said that from all aspects, the chances of me being selected are still very high.”
After she said this, she raised her head and looked at Old Master Yu with an apologetic and sincere expression.
“Grandfather, I know that I have brought a lot of trouble to my family this time. But if I am selected this time and become one of the thirteen lifetime members of the Bai City Fashion Association, then the losses that I have brought to the Yu Corporation previously will be quickly compensated.”
Craig’s message was that this time, there was a 90% chance that a Chinese would be chosen.
Dozens of applications had probably been sent from China, but she was clearly the one with the advantage.
Although Yu Cheng’s matter had caused her and YU’s reputation to suffer, they still had the foundation they had built in the past. In addition, she still had the help of Craig and others.
Yu Yu knew that this was the fastest way for her to turn things around. Hence, she had been busy with this matter while she had stayed in Bai City for a few more days.
Old Master Yu frowned but did not say anything.
However, Yu Yu understood that he had been persuaded.
After all, the clothing and fashion industries were also a big pillar under the Yu family.
The first Chinese member… This meant a lot.
Old Master Yu knew that although Yu Cheng’s matter had been forcefully suppressed, it had inevitably affected the Yu family’s reputation.
Yu Yu was right. This was indeed an opportunity.
“Grandfather, please help me this time,” Yu Yu said.
…
Saturday.
In the morning, Shen Li called Lu Huaiyu.
“Second Brother, are you at home today?”
Shen Li rummaged through a few jars on the table while she was on the phone.
Lu Huaiyu heard her voice and put down the book “The History of Time” that he was holding.
“I’m at Rongyue Mansion. What’s up?”
Shen Li picked up another jar and opened it to smell it.
“I recently bought some coffee beans. Second Brother, would you like to try some?”
It had indeed been a long time since she helped him to grind coffee.
She recently had some rarely found free time, so she had this thought in mind.
Lu Huaiyu looked at the hand-drawn picture in the book and chuckled.
“Okay.”
Shen Li told him the names of a few types of coffee beans.
“Which one would Second Brother like to drink?”
Lu Huaiyu thought for a moment.
“Yirgacheffe coffee then.”
“Okay. Then I’ll go over later.”
Shen Li hung up the phone.
A moment later, Lu Huaiyu gave Gu Tinglan a call.
“I’d like to cancel the check-up this morning.”
Gu Tinglan was surprised.
“What? Didn’t we agree on today? I even specially flew over from Hong Kong City–”
“Ah Li is coming.”
Lu Huaiyu said slowly.
Gu Tinglan frowned.
“Does she know you’re coming for a check-up today?”
That should not be the case, right?
Lu Huaiyu smiled.
“She doesn’t know.”
“Then she’s coming to look for you early on a Saturday morning?”
“Yes, she’s coming to look for her boyfriend. Is that a problem?”
“…”
Gu Tinglan abruptly ended the call.
Lu Huaiyu raised his eyebrows and looked at the hand-drawn portrait. Then, he put it back into the book.
He put the book in the drawer under the coffee table.
It was empty except for another thick and heavy book, “The Physical Universe”.
