Chapter 1038: Extra story 4: The Bought Yu Jiaojiao Family

The Yu Family had many properties in the Capital City, and their most valuable was the courtyard house adjacent to the Square. However, because it was too conspicuous, it didn’t match the low-profile approach of the Yu Family couple, so they mostly lived in another courtyard house within the second ring road.

In the capital where land was worth its weight in gold, naturally, only extraordinary people could afford to live here. The only downside of these old houses was the narrow corridors, which truly tested one’s driving skills when two cars passed side by side.

Dongdong was driving Yu Wuxia home when they encountered the Su Family car. Yu Wuxia rolled down the window to greet:

"Godmother, where are you off to?"

Although Su Zhe won the Nobel Prize last year, the prize money was nowhere near enough to buy a house here. The fact that the Su Family lived next to the old Yu residence was purely because Suizi had earlier gotten Su Zhe’s wife into stock market investment, and they had bought the property early on.

Over the years, Mrs. Su Zhe, harmonious in her marriage and successful in her career, had grown a bit plump. She saw Luoluo, quickly had her son stop the car, and started chatting with Luoluo.

"I’m delivering food to Dean Su. Dean Su mentioned yesterday that he hasn’t seen you in several days. Come over to our place tomorrow."

Ever since Luoluo’s sister-in-law married Su Zhe, seeing how fun Luoluo from Suizi’s family was, she too wanted a daughter. But, unfortunately, she gave birth to two sons in one go and couldn’t bear any more children, so she treated Luoluo as her own.

The two families lived close by, with just a wall between them. Luoluo had become more stable now, but she used to lead a group of kids in street brawls during high school, which so infuriated Suizi that she wanted to scold her. Su Zhe, pained by his heart, would forget his own disability and climb over the wall to stop it.

"The company has been working on a cooperation case recently. If I finish work too late, I’ll stay over there," Luoluo said. She also owned several properties, but she mostly lived with her parents.

"Dongdong is back too? Then both of you come over tomorrow and have tea with Dean Su."

Sister-in-law had been missing Luoluo so much that she even stayed over when she brought food to Dean Su, but for some reason, her reticent son drove away without saying a word.

While calling out to Luoluo, sister-in-law turned to scold her son, "What’s the rush? Let me talk to your sister Luoluo for a bit!"

"There’s going to be a commotion at the old Yu residence tonight. You and my dad better not get involved. With your tiny frames, you can’t withstand Uncle Jingting’s kick," Su Xun said with equanimity while driving.

The boy wasn’t much for talking but could find common ground with Yu Junzhao; both were shrewd with keen observational skills.

"What’s the matter? Is Uncle Jingting preparing for war?" Sister-in-law sat up, concern written all over her face.

With a sigh, Su Xun explained that both his parents were intellectuals who spent most of their time in the laboratory, almost out of touch with worldly matters.

"Didn’t you see the ring on Luoluo’s middle finger? A five-carat diamond, it nearly blinded me."

"What’s the issue with wearing a diamond? When has any of your Aunt Suizi’s rings been less than five carats? Speaking of which, I have to give credit to Dean Su. He once made me a huge fake diamond in the laboratory; no one could tell it wasn’t real when I showed it around. Aunt Suizi suggested I sell the patent, and that’s how we bought our house—"

"Hey, you and my dad are really straightforward—the point is how big the ring is? Isn’t the main point that wearing it on the middle finger means she’s engaged? Someone has successfully proposed to Luoluo."

Su Xun, inheriting his father’s intelligence, understood human nature better than his parents, who seemed aloof from the world.

With that revelation, sister-in-law abruptly reacted. Her foster daughter was getting married?

"Hurry, drive back. I need to see who this young man is!"

"Even if you want to see, it’ll have to be tomorrow. Do you think Uncle Jingting will calm down tonight? Aunt Suizi isn’t at home..."

Everyone on the street knew that it was Suizi who really called the shots in the old Yu household. No matter how irascible Yu Jingting could be, he would listen once Suizi spoke, the classic case of a soft answer turning away wrath.

Without Suizi at home, who could imagine how Yu Jingting’s one-sided ire would erupt?

Sister-in-law was sobered by her son’s words. Right, indeed.

While she hesitated whether to go over and check, a red Ferrari drove by—it was Yu Jiaojiao’s car.

Yu Jiaojiao also had a courtyard house here, just behind her brother’s place, but since marrying Little Fatty, she spent half of the time away from the Capital City and didn’t stay long when she was back.

"Jiaojiao!" Sister-in-law called out.

Yu Jiaojiao gestured for Little Fatty to stop the car. She was wearing a red mermaid dress, and her curled hair exuded an impressive aura, clearly just back from a social event, not even having had time to change.

Her brother and sister-in-law seldom socialized publicly, so when they couldn’t avoid it, it was Jiaojiao and Little Fatty who went. Little Fatty, after retiring from the national team, helped her manage the family business. All the Yu Family’s affairs in the Special Zone were handled by them.
