“For what?”
The assistant’s voice trailed off.
Yu Wenci said, “Zitong is still here. She’s not on vacation yet, and her final exams are approaching. So I’ll have to trouble you to stay and take care of her. Actually, there’s an auntie at home, so I won’t trouble you too much. I’ll pay you an additional salary.”
The assistant’s dream of a holiday shattered.
However, with a salary, he did not find it troublesome.
It wasn’t that he hadn’t seen Yu Wenci’s younger sister before. She was a very cute little girl, but sometimes her thoughts were strange, and hard to keep up with. This could only be described as a cute attribute of hers. Other than that, there was nothing bad about her.
“Why? Is there a problem?”
“No, no.” The assistant waved his hand. “My pleasure.”
Of course, he had no problem.
Taking a step back, this was a good thing.
Yu Zitong chose to attend a residential school. Other than weekends, she spent the rest of her time in school. Wasn’t this job easy?
After settling the matters here, Yu Wenci could go to the capital without any distractions.
When he reached home, he was surprised to find two more people in the villa. They were none other than his parents.
“Son, you’re back!”
Yu Wenci looked calm. “I should be the one asking that.”
Mother Yu choked. There didn’t seem to be anything wrong with that.
When Fang Man and Father Yu were young, they were often busy. It was normal for them to fly around. When Yu Wenci grew up and could take charge, they were no longer so busy.
“Have you eaten? Mom’s cooking tonight. I’ll make you whatever you want to eat.”
Yu Wenci said with a straight face, “The Imperial Banquet.”
Fang Man retracted her smile and had the urge to beat her son up. “Don’t cause trouble for me.”
“It’s just the three of us. Let’s make something casual.”
“Sure.”
The woman had no objections now. She glanced at the man who was still looking at his phone on the sofa.
Father Yu felt a chill down his spine and hurriedly put down his phone. He raised his hand to cover his mouth and coughed lightly. “How can I let my wife do it herself? I’ll go cook. My son will come in and help me.”
Yu Wenci refused, “I won’t.”
He was adamant. Instead of wasting time, it was better to do something meaningful.
Fang Man pushed the father and son into the kitchen. “If you don’t know, you can learn. My son is so smart. I believe you can learn it in a short while.”
“If you have culinary skills, you can cook for your wife in the future. Do you really expect your wife to cook alone when you get married in the future?”
Yu Wenci didn’t refuse this time. He walked forward resolutely. “Okay.”
She blinked in disbelief and bewilderment.
Yes?
When did her son become so easy to talk to?
A woman’s intuition told her that something was fishy.
As a man, Father Yu was not so meticulous. He did not notice anything wrong. After entering with Yu Wenci, he closed the door.
Fang Man nodded in satisfaction. He was really worthy of teaching.
She took out a bag of potato chips from the snack box and opened it. She sat on the sofa and started watching dramas.
It was rare for her to be free. It would be a pity not to enjoy it.
For the past few years, her focus had been on work. Now that her daughter was about to be in her third year of high school, she was at an important stage. She delegated the work she had to her subordinates and took the time to rest.
It could also make up for her previous busyness.
As a prestigious family, the Yu family had a pivotal position in the business circle. Old Master Yu entered politics when he was young. Yu Wenci’s father, however, chose to go into business.
As for Yu Wenci’s choice of voice acting, his family didn’t object much. They respected his preferences. Any job had its meaning. Since Yu Wenci liked it, they let him do what he liked. Since he was young, he had never made his family worry.
Others might think that the Yu Family had a lot of rules, but in fact, they didn’t have any. They would also chat about family matters during dinner. In this instance, Fang Man had turned into a chatterbox as they were eating.
“Why don’t you move back to the old residence? Our business trip is over. Let’s go eat something good after school on Friday.”
Yu Wenci smiled faintly. “Since you’re not busy anymore, I can go to the capital without worry.”
There was no need to worry about Yu Zitong’s situation here.
Hearing this, Father Yu, who was eating, looked up and asked him curiously, “When are you going? I mean, why are you going to the capital?”
“The flight is the day after tomorrow. I’ll go over and inspect the branch office.”
“Nothing happened at the branch office. Why are you going there?”
Usually, Yu Wenci would only go on a business trip when there was a tricky problem. To Father Yu’s knowledge, there seemed to be nothing going on at the branch office.
Under the table, Fang Man kicked him. “What do you know? If your son wants to go, let him go. Why are you nagging like a woman?”
Father Yu looked at his wife with a slight grievance.
How ruthless.
He didn’t dare to ask further and changed the topic.
After Yu Wenci finished eating, he went upstairs to tidy up his things in advance.

For the past two days, the weather in the capital had been exceptionally bad. It had been raining from dawn to dusk without any signs of stopping.
Su Yunxiu originally thought that she could get used to it, but she still overestimated herself. The waist injury that she had accumulated over the years acted up on rainy days. If she did not move, she would feel sore.
In her years of dancing, getting injured was a common occurrence. She just had to apply an ointment and continue practicing.
She had only been here for a few days and was aware of how she was thought to have been parachuted into her role without merit. Furthermore, she was not a famous dancer. It was normal for a few girls to be unhappy with her.
The content of the rehearsal over the past two days was relatively basic. Su Yunxiu sat in front of the mirror and called out the beat at the top of her lungs. Practicing dance techniques was very boring. If she endured it, she would see the light.
Su Yunxiu said, “Okay, stop, take a break.”
Then, she held her waist and stood up. She walked to the girl closest to her and said that she would go out for a few minutes before leaving.
After she left, the short-haired girl in the second row walked forward and sneered. “I thought she was very capable, but in the end, she stopped practicing with us in just two days. Who doesn’t know how to sit there and call out the beat?”
Standing beside her was probably her friend. She had delicate features and reached out to tug at her clothes. She whispered, “Don’t talk nonsense. Teacher Su must have a reason.”
“What’s the reason? Perhaps her role was obtained through dirty means.”
If it weren’t for Su Yunxiu, she would have been the one standing in the central position. Who wouldn’t want to catch the talent scouts’ attention? However, someone came out of nowhere to take the role.
“Keep your voice down. Teacher Su went to the washroom. It won’t be good if she comes back and hears it.”
Not only did the girl not restrain herself, but she even raised her voice. “What am I afraid of? Let me tell you a secret. On the day she came, I saw her get into an expensive car. The man in the car didn’t look like a decent person. She must have been kept by that rich second-generation heir.”
It was understandable that they were young and impetuous, but it did not mean that they could spread rumors and cause trouble at will. They were not underage children anymore. If Su Yunxiu pursued the matter, they would be in the wrong.
Someone shouted, “Teacher… Teacher Su.”
Su Yunxiu had gone to the bathroom to re-apply the ointment and came back. She was standing at the door when she heard this. She smiled silently and stepped into the classroom with a placid expression.
The girl had a slender figure, and a faint smile appeared on her fair face. She walked over step by step, and the other dancers beside her could not help but make way for her.
She came in front of the short-haired girl and raised her eyebrows slightly. She asked, “Compete?”
