My Wife Pretends To Be Poor Every Day Ch.52
That evening, after work, Li Yueyun noticed that Yu Siling was nowhere to be found. She looked around but couldn’t see her, so she asked Si Yutong, “Have you seen Lingling?”
“Didn’t she go back?” Si Yutong asked, puzzled. “She didn’t tell you?”
“When did she go back?” Li Yueyun asked.
Si Yutong replied, “Right after afternoon tea. She said her dad was going on a blind date, and she went home to help him decide.”
Li Yueyun: “…”
Not sure what she was thinking, Li Yueyun suddenly smiled meaningfully.
What a lame excuse.
As soon as Yu Siling stepped into her house, she ordered, “Aunt Wang, Uncle Zhang, Aunt Li, hurry up, help me clean up my room!”
“What’s the matter? Why the rush?” Aunt Wang was practicing Tai Chi nearby. “Staying calm in any situation is our service motto.”
“My girlfriend is coming over,” Yu Siling answered as she ran upstairs.
“Stay calm, stay calm… What? What the fuck? Your girlfriend is coming?!” Aunt Wang was shocked, stopped her Tai Chi, and chased after her. “Is your girlfriend pretty?”
“She looks amazing!” Yu Siling rushed into the walk-in closet, “Haven’t you seen her before?”
“When did I ever see her?” Aunt Wang picked up the socks that had fallen on the floor, “I heard she’s quite wealthy.”
“That girl who was with me at the internet cafe last time, she’s my girlfriend,” Yu Siling quickly picked up the other clothes and started folding them.
“Let me do it, you’re not good at this,” Aunt Wang calmly nudged her aside, then asked in surprise, “That beauty from the internet cafe?!”
“Yes,” Yu Siling went to another corner to pick up a pile of clothes and placed them in front of her, leaning on the counter with both hands, “It’s her.”
“Holy **** mother******” Aunt Wang was utterly horrified, accidentally tearing the shirt in half, “Not only did I ignore her, but I think I was even rude to her!”
“It’s fine, she’s very generous and doesn’t get angry at all,” Yu Siling chuckled, then put on a stern face, “But I will be angry. Why did you ignore her and be rude to her? Huh?”
Aunt Wang nervously folded the clothes, changing the subject, “Look at you, always buying these shabby clothes…”
Yu Siling: “…”
Who was it that tore my precious clothes right in front of me! You tore my clothes, disrespected my girlfriend, I will never forgive you!
Suddenly, the sound of “one, two, one” echoed from outside.
Yu Siling quickly ran to the corridor to look down and saw Uncle Zhang and a few servants carrying a large potted plant inside. She asked curiously, “What are you moving?”
Uncle Zhang looked up and smiled, “A flower for you, it will look great in your room.”
“What kind of flower?” Yu Siling squinted to get a better look.
Uncle Zhang and the others stood in the living room, and he raised his voice to reply, “The lilies from our hometown have bloomed, so we brought some especially for you.”
Yu Siling: “…” I really appreciate it!
All the servants were mobilized. When Yu Tianzong returned home in the evening, he found everyone very busy and asked in surprise, “Are you preparing for the New Year?”
Yu Siling, wearing a hat and an apron, came out of the room waving a mop, “Dad.”
“Sweetheart, you’re back! I missed you so much!” Yu Tianzong ran up the stairs in a few steps, followed by a little corgi, its butt wiggling as it struggled to climb a few steps, panting and whining.
Yu Tianzong turned back to pick up Little Ai, and the two of them rushed to Yu Siling, “Why didn’t you say anything before coming back? I wasn’t prepared at all.”
“You weren’t prepared?,” Yu Siling chuckled, “Those snacks hidden in your room weren’t ready to be thrown away yet, were they?”
Yu Tianzong looked up at the sky, patted Little Ai’s head, and Little Ai immediately started howling, its innocent puppy eyes blinking, melting Yu Siling’s heart.
“Oh dear, come here and let mommy hug you,” Yu Siling reached out to hold her in her arms, “Did you miss mommy?”
Old Zhang walked over, watching the happy family of three, and sighed deeply, “What kind of family is this?”
During dinner, Yu Siling finally found the time to ask, “Dad, why didn’t you say anything before inviting Ah Li over for New Year’s?”
Yu Tianzong was startled, “I invited her? She was the one who said she wanted to visit.”
Yu Siling: “?”
Yu Tianzong said, “After the meeting that day, as we were dispersing, she looked at me with such a pitiful expression, saying she had nowhere to go for New Year’s and wanted to visit our home, but was afraid I would refuse. What could I do? Of course, I had to agree!”
Yu Siling: “……”
After a while, Yu Siling suddenly laughed, “Well, I don’t care, but you must behave well tomorrow and not embarrass our Yu family.”
“You don’t trust your old man?” Yu Tianzong perked up, “Don’t worry, I’ll definitely show the demeanor of an excellent father-in-law.”
“Better be.” But Yu Siling actually had no confidence in her father, so she quietly instructed Old Zhang, “Uncle Zhang, if Dad acts strange tomorrow, remember to stop him.”
“No problem, leave it to me.” Old Zhang sharpened his metaphorical knives.
Early the next morning, Yu Siling got up early to dress up, wearing a simple yet fashionable outfit and applying a delicate and appropriate makeup, ensuring she would be liked at first sight.
As Yu Tianzong passed by her room, he smiled, “Sweetie, doing your makeup?”
“Yes, do I look good?” Yu Siling confidently turned around and gave him a charming wink.
Yu Tianzong said, “I can’t tell, I think you’re most beautiful without makeup.”
Yu Siling: “Get lost.”
Yu Tianzong: T^T
At this moment, Old Zhang walked over and stood at the door, showering her with compliments, “Lingling, your skin looks so radiant today, with a healthy glow, and your outfit is both appropriate and eye-catching. Plus, this perfect makeup, you’re practically a fairy.”
Yu Tianzong: “?” Such exaggerated flattery, who would believe it!
“Uncle Zhang, if you can talk, say more.” Yu Siling smiled, then rolled her eyes at Yu Tianzong, “If you can’t talk, go shovel poop.”
Yu Tianzong: “……”
Daughter, you’re going to be fooled by scoundrels like Old Zhang! Oh wait, you like women, okay, never mind.
After the family finished breakfast, Yu Tianzong went to the yard to feed Little Ai and shovel poop, when suddenly he heard a scream, startling him so much he almost got poop on his hand.
He turned around to see Yu Siling rushing out of the living room, as happy as if she had seen her mother, running towards the front gate. After a moment, a dark red Maserati stopped.
That car, wasn’t it the one he gave to Lingling!
Wow, she actually gave away her beloved car. Yu Siling, old man respects you as a fool.
From the gate came the sound of two women whispering. Yu Tianzong put on his boss demeanor, hands behind his back.
Old Zhang floated over from somewhere and whispered a reminder, “If you want to look cool, first put down the poop shovel.”
Yu Tianzong’s mouth twitched as he saw the two approaching. He silently threw the tool aside, but his aim was too precise, and it hit Little Ai right on the head.
Little Ai: “Ow.”
Yu Tianzong felt a surge of affection, but as Li Yueyun approached, he could only nod solemnly.
“Uncle Yu, Happy New Year,” Li Yueyun said with a gentle smile.
“Mm, come in and have a seat,” Yu Tianzong replied expressionlessly.
“Let’s go inside and play,” Yu Siling said, grinning from ear to ear as she pulled Li Yueyun into the living room. She began introducing the household, pointing to a middle-aged woman standing by the door. “This is Aunt Wang, you’ve met her before.”
“Aunt Wang, hello,” Li Yueyun greeted with a smile. “You look so well-maintained, so youthful.”
Aunt Wang was instantly overjoyed, laughing like a schoolgirl. “Really? Hehehehe, you’re the one who’s beautiful!”
Yu Siling then pointed to the man beside her. “This is Uncle Zhang, our chef. Actually, he’s secretly taken over as the head steward.”
Li Yueyun followed her gaze and saw an elderly man with a refined appearance, quite the handsome old man. She smiled softly. “Uncle Zhang, hello, I’m Li Yueyun.”
Uncle Zhang nodded with gentlemanly grace, then snapped his fingers in front of her, covering his hand with the other. Moments later, a rose appeared out of thin air. He smirked roguishly. “A special flower for a special beauty.”
Li Yueyun couldn’t help but laugh as she accepted it. “Thank you.”
“Such a shameless old man,” Yu Tianzong muttered as he caught up, seeing the scene and scoffing in disdain.
Hearing this, Uncle Zhang snapped his fingers in front of Yu Tianzong, repeating the trick.
“I don’t want a rose!” Yu Tianzong snapped.
“You’d have to be worthy of a rose first,” Uncle Zhang chuckled, producing a dogtail grass that swayed in the wind. “Here, this suits you best.”
Yu Tianzong was furious. “Little Ai, bite him!”
Xiao Ai weakly responded, “Ow.”
Li Yueyun stood to the side, laughing uncontrollably, and whispered to Yu Siling, “Your family is really something.”
Yu Siling gave a wry smile.
Amid the commotion in the living room, another car pulled up outside, and a group of people walked in.
“Old Yu, prepare more dishes for lunch.”
Everyone turned to see Li Yuanye and his wife, along with Li Shenxing and her partner, arriving.
Li Yueyun was startled. “Dad, what are you doing here?”
“We came to see our grandson. We can’t let Old Yu have all the fun… I mean, how could he take care of our precious grandson alone?” Li Yuanye declared confidently.
Yu Tianzong, hearing they were here to claim the child, was incensed. “Little Ai, bite him!”
Little Ai, with its short legs, dashed over, wagging its tail, and hugged Li Yuanye’s leg.
Zhang Qingkong smiled gently and picked up Little Ai, asking, “Is this what you’ve been raising, Old Yu?”
Yu Tianzong replied, “This is Little Ai, my precious grandson.”
Zhang Qingkong: “?”
Li Yuanye: “?”
This was their chubby, fair-skinned grandson?
“Ow ow ow,” Little Ai affectionately kissed Zhang Qingkong’s cheek, nuzzling her face.
Zhang Qingkong’s heart melted. “Oh, my good child, you truly have the Li family’s blood.”
Li Yuanye: “?” He felt offended.
“Where’s Yu Siling?” Li Shenxing, holding her boyfriend’s hand, looked around but didn’t see Yu Siling. “Come out and greet the guests!”
Only then did Li Yuanye and Zhang Qingkong remember the main event of the day—to meet their daughter-in-law. But where was she?
“She’s inside,” Yu Tianzong said.
Everyone turned their gaze toward the house.
They saw Li Yueyun standing at the door, suppressing a smile, while inside the living room, a figure was hunched over, hurriedly making her way upstairs.
Li Yuanye narrowed his eyes—the figure’s back looked very familiar.
“Little one, have you ever crawled…”
“No, I haven’t crawled!” Yu Siling replied without turning her head.
Zhang Qingkong was startled: “That voice! Little one, have you ever worked as a maid?”
Yu Siling: sobbing.
Heaven is going to destroy me!
