Even as a "normie," I'm completely oblivious to it.

for a long time.

Yu Che poured tea into two teacups and served them to Yu Zhe and Qi Xinye respectively.

Of course, Yu Zhe uses the best tea leaves, the kind that even Yu Che usually drinks sparingly because they are so limited.

Let's use this kind of thing for Qi Xinye as well, albeit reluctantly.

Hmph! With the attitude she just displayed, she should have been brewed some roadside tea!

Seeing that Yu Che had personally brought her tea, Qi Xinye felt much calmer.

"Phew... Yu Che, I'm not trying to criticize you, but even if there's no one else around, you should tone it down a bit. I think Xiao Zhe prefers girls who are more quiet and reserved."

"I'm an exception~"

"You too!" Yu Zhe tapped her on the head in exasperation. "Sister Ye is right. Didn't we agree that there are still three months until the deadline? You can do whatever you want after three months, but you better behave yourself before then, or I'll beat you up!"

"Okay..."

Yu Che's silver hair drooped down.

Perhaps the only person in this world who can keep her in check is Yu Zhe.

After things calmed down, Yu Zhe looked around.

"Speaking of which, today seems a bit different? You called me here, and you also called Sister Ye here. Is there something important?"

"My brother is smart!"

Yu Che turned around, picked up the laptop from her desk, and placed it in the middle of the coffee table.

"Actually, I just received a video message from my mom. I thought it contained a lot of information, so I wanted you to see it too and make a decision."

"Mom?" "Aunt Yang?"

Yu Zhe and Qi Xinye both focused their attention at the same time.

I see. Yu Che was indeed talking about something important this time.

Yu Che didn't learn her lesson at all. After opening the video file on the computer, she jumped into Yu Zhe's arms and moved to sit on Yu Zhe's lap, intending to watch it together.

Yu Zhe originally wanted to leave her aside, but then he thought better of it.

Sit here, sit here... Sigh, it's been three days since I last saw her. We used to be together every day. A lot has changed in the past year, and I'm sure Yu Che is not used to it either.

Feel free to act cute if you want; it's not a big problem at this level.

Even more surprisingly, Yu Zhe quietly put his arm around her waist and abdomen.

Yu Che smiled foolishly.

at the same time.

The video file I just opened started playing, and Yang Qiuyun, wearing an ice-white long dress, appeared on the screen waving.

"Hey, Yuche and Yuzhe, is Zixiao here? And Xiaoye should be here too, I have something to tell you guys."

7. Almost fell for the trap

Yu Che had already watched the video beforehand, so she wasn't curious.

The reason for the advance inspection was because he was worried that this woman would say something strange to his brother again. She had left without saying goodbye before, and now Yu Che was very wary of her every word and action, and even wanted to arrange for someone to arrest her.

If her brother hadn't stopped her, she would have done it long ago.

Yu Zhe and Qi Xinye sat up straight and looked at the computer screen, listening attentively to Yang Qiuyun's words, which sounded no different from her usual conversational tone.

"Haha, I know you guys get nervous when you see me? It's okay, it's okay, I really didn't come to see you this time. Well... actually, I have something to do. Xiao Yuzhe, Mom has been waiting for you here for months. You said you were coming to see me, but I haven't done anything... It's alright! Mom knows you're busy, so I don't want to trouble you. I'm leaving on my own the day after tomorrow!"

Huh? You think you can just sneak back? No way!

In the video, Yang Qiuyun has already started packing her suitcase, her face beaming with smiles.

"Oh dear, it's been so many years since I've been home, I really miss home. I wonder where your grandparents are?"

"I've been missing you terribly, after all, I used to be the apple of the eye of the Yang family in Fenghai City—and I still am. Plus, your good-for-nothing father keeps calling me back. So, Yuzhe, Mom's getting ready to leave now, you don't need to come looking for me."

"Xiaoyuche, you too! Don't frown, smile more. Mom will bring you and Zixiao, and Xiaoye, gifts when we get back. I guarantee you'll be happy! That's all for now. Hmm... the video recording should be on by now..."

That concludes the video.

You should at least edit it a little bit at the end! It makes you seem so insincere!

wrong...

"Yu Che, sit over there first!"

Yu Zhe opened his eyes wide, picked up Yu Che and moved her from his lap to the side.

Then, in a panic, he took out his phone, stood up abruptly, and immediately made a call.

"Hey! Mom! Listen to me, if you don't want to sever our mother-son relationship, you'd better stay there! I'm leaving the day after tomorrow, and I'll be there the day after that! You hear me? If you dare to run away, it's either you or me!"

beep...

After finishing his sentence in one breath, Yu Zhe pressed the hang-up button forcefully and slammed the phone onto the sofa. The sofa was soft, so the phone was unharmed.

That wasn't all. Yu Zhe grabbed the computer that had just been playing the video and threw it out the door of the office.

The carpet in the hallway outside is very soft, so the computer is fine.

Qi Xinye and Yu Che were both stunned...

They were somewhat at a loss, because they had almost never seen Yu Zhesheng so angry.

He's very rational; even when he's angry, he won't smash or break anything. Yes, he never has.

More importantly... you actually have Yang Qiuyun's phone number?!

Sure enough, the threat of the Su family splitting up has become a joke now that the main family's power is growing stronger.

But they soon discovered something was amiss...

Yu Zhe doesn't seem really angry, does he?

After throwing the computer out, he carefully peeked out from the door frame, and only after confirming that there was no movement did he breathe a sigh of relief and gently close the door.

It's as if what he just threw out wasn't a computer, but some kind of time bomb.

Of course, it wasn't a time bomb.

"Brother... what's wrong...?"

"Xiao Zhe? What's wrong?"

Only then could Yu Zhe free up his energy to respond to them.

He walked back weakly and sat down on the sofa. Without saying a word, Yu Che climbed back onto his lap, and Yu Zhe also leaned down and hugged Yu Che to rest.

"Sigh... Sister Ye, it's fine if you don't know, but Yu Che, don't you know your mother?"

"Waaah... I'm sorry, brother, I'm still too stupid compared to you. Can you explain it to me?"

No, no, little sister, you're not stupid. You were just so focused on rubbing your face against me that you forgot to analyze the situation.

As if to explain to them, Yu Zhe pointed to the door.

"That computer probably had its webcam on, and the video file Mom sent it probably got infected with some kind of virus. Mom could see all our reactions just now."

"!"

Yu Che understood immediately.

Qi Xinye still didn't quite understand: "How is that possible... Xiao Zhe, this isn't a video call, it's just a video file..."

"So, Sister Ye, you still don't understand my mother."

Yu Zhe felt very heavy when he talked about it.

"She is an absolute genius in every sense of the word, not just in business. She is also very skilled in precision instruments and computer networks. Don't you find the last thing she said in the video strange?"

"The last sentence..." Qi Xinye tried to recall, "My aunt said she wasn't sure if the video recording was on or off, and then that was it..."

"She wouldn't be so lacking in confidence. This is her field. I'm not exaggerating, but even if we brought in the top talent in our company's technical department, they probably wouldn't be as capable as her in this area. So why...why would someone like her worry about something as simple as whether the video recording has started?"

Perhaps she's skilled enough, but careless?

Qi Xinye remembers that her aunt was a person who was not particular about details.

Seeing her thoughts, Yu Zhe shook his head: "No, my mom's indifferent attitude is just an appearance of indifference, that is, indifference in attitude. Her memory is probably similar to mine. She will never forget specific things, such as the issue of whether the video recording was on or off just now."

Yu Che gritted his teeth: "Damn this woman... she never learns her lesson!"

Qi Xinye pondered... Even so... Is it possible that I'm the only one here who still doesn't understand why Xiao Zhe smashed his phone and acted so angry just now...?

Indeed, when you're with two geniuses at the same time... and counting the aunt in the video, that makes three geniuses—it's really tough for an "ordinary person"!

No... I need to be more active with my brain in the future. Even if I can't keep up with Xiao Zhe's train of thought, I should try to understand it as soon as possible.

Yu Zhe wouldn't expect Sister Ye to think too quickly; this was originally just his guess, a precautionary measure.

“I just suspected that she installed some kind of virus program on this video. Once the video is opened, the computer's webcam will turn on, and she can get information about our movements. With her abilities, she can easily do that.”

"If it's true, why would your aunt do this?"

"It was all to see our reaction." Yu Zhe was relieved she hadn't fallen for it. "She said that last sentence to distract us, to make us criticize her clumsiness, so we'd forget to consider other possibilities. After all, she thought if she hadn't said that last sentence, I definitely would..."

I suspected she was using some underhanded tactics, but unfortunately, her cleverness backfired and it was all in vain.

As the saying goes, I predicted your predictions and you predicted mine.

Yu Zhe continued, "She observed our reactions. If we didn't react much, she could come back on her own without worry, which meant that we were just being verbally aggressive but not actually that angry. She wouldn't do anything when she came back; at most, she would be given a minor punishment. But when I pretended to be very angry, she definitely didn't dare to act rashly and just waited there obediently."

Qi Xinye finally understood everything.

All Yu Che wants to say is...

Brother, my Superman!

8. I'm leaving the day after tomorrow!

"We can't let her come back on her own. We're not waiting any longer. We'll leave the day after tomorrow and treat it as a trip as originally planned. Sister Ye, are you free after the day after tomorrow?"

"Yes, I'm fine, I'm available anytime."

Qi Xinye actually has too many things going on.

The Qi family needs her to make decisions now, and business orders are piling up. Her parents also seek her advice on many issues.
