Yu Shu walked out of the Tehen Business Association and stood in the sunset. Her head was still a little hazy. Pei Jing had spent an hour to instill his ideas into her. Unfortunately, she was not good at business. From beginning to end, she only understood one thing —
Uncle Pei wanted to bundle her with the crystal and sell it together.
To put it bluntly, he wanted to use her name and use her reputation to increase the value of the crystals through the channels of the Tehen Business Association. Then, he would use the value of the crystals to help her earn money and reputation.
Alright, Yu Shu understood, but if she really wanted to operate it, she definitely had to rely on Pei Jing, the expert.
Thus, the uncle and nephew decided to work together to do this business. Pei Jing insisted on not taking a single cent of the profits. Yu Shu had no choice but to give him full authority. Even Old Xu's place was allowed to be visited by him. She only needed to provide the crystals for the Fengshui cultivation.
.....
Back home, Yu Shu first went to Zhao Hui's room to "show off" the few bracelets that she had grown the first time. Because she had other uses, she did not keep them for her family. This second batch, she had to give them to her own people first.
A string of white crystal beads, a string of pink crystal beads, a pair of topaz pendants, and a pair of peach pendants made of white crystal. It was truly a jewel.
When Yu Shu took them out from her purse, Zhao Hui was mesmerized. When she was a daughter, her family was rich, but she had never seen such rare gems.
"This is a Fengshui object that I raised. It didn't cost much money. Mother, don't worry and keep it," Yu Shu said with a smile. "See if you want to make it into a pendant or inlay it into jewelry. You don't have to keep it for me. I have a few more."
Although there was still Old Madam He at home, Yu Shu was the closest to Zhao Hui. If she wanted to show off to the old lady, Zhao Hui would have to send it to her mother-in-law to please her mother-in-law.
Zhao Hui was also a woman. How could she not like jewelry? Although she was curious about where Yu Shu got it, she did not like to inquire about it. She would not suspect that Yu Shu had done something bad. Hearing Yu Shu's words, she happily accepted it.
Zhao Hui asked the little maidservant Liu Fu to go to the dressing table in the bedroom to find a more exquisite box. She fondled the string of pink crystals and tried it on her wrist. Although it was a little tight, it served as a foil to the round and smooth skin of her hand. Even at her age, it didn't look the least bit pretentious when she wore it.
"Does it look good?" How many years had it been since Zhao Hui's body had such a tender color? Her most fragrant years were all ruined by that cruel and unscrupulous marriage. Although she had found a husband now, it was a pity that her youth had passed.
Yu Shu moved over to hold her hand and praised generously, "It looks good. Mother's skin is white and light colors are the most suitable. When we go back, we'll take apart the white beads and make a few beads to wear. It'll look simple and elegant. When godfather sees it, he'll probably go home early every day and guard you. He won't even want to go to the clinic anymore."
Zhao Hui was happy. Being teased by a little girl, her old face blushed. She nagged, "A girl doesn't have a proper appearance. If your father hears it, he'll definitely scold you again."
With He Xiaochuan, this precious son, He Fangzhi became a father and became more and more presentable. He was no longer polite to Yu Shu and Yu Xiaoxiu in the past. Now, whenever he saw the siblings in the wrong, he would scold them with a fierce face, looking very much like a strict father.
If Yu Shu was supporting him and never talked back to him, then Yu Xiaoxiu liked to be scolded. Yu Shu saw several times that He Fangzhi talked to Yu Xiaoxiu with a straight face. That child raised his face and looked like he was enjoying it. He didn't feel like he was being scolded at all. Instead, he became more and more admiring.
This made Yu Shu couldn't help but think of Yu Xiaoxiu's background. She secretly thought about having her younger brother recognize Zhao Hui and her husband as his parents.
Originally, when Yu Shu recognized his family, she considered that Yu Xiaoxiu was the only descendant of the Yu Family and that Aunt Cui was still alive. She asked Yu Xiaoxiu for his opinion, so she didn't let him call them father and mother like her. However, her thoughts were different now.
Yu Xiaoxiu would definitely learn her skills in the future. When she perfected the Time of Calamity, she would slowly teach him. Han Wenguang was able to teach the Three Predictors, so how could her, Yu Shu's younger brother, learn badly? Thinking about the long term, Yu Xiaoxiu only had a dishonorable birth mother, Aunt Cui, which was obviously not enough. Just based on his background, he was far inferior to others.
Yu Shu thought about it again and again and didn't reveal it to Zhao Hui. She planned to ask Yu Xiaoxiu first to see what he thought.
Therefore, in the evening, Yu Xiaoxiu came back from the medical center with He Fangzhi. Yu Shu didn't mention it at the dinner table. She waited until he finished his homework before she found him in the room.
"Xiaoxiu, come sit here." Yu Shu lit the lamp at the bedside and patted the seat next to her. She let Yu Xiaoxiu sit by her bed. The brother and sister were only four years apart in age. They had lived together since they were young and slept in the same bed. Usually, they didn't care about trifles and didn't have the broken rules of a rich family.
Yu Xiaoxiu sat beside Yu Shu obediently. These days, he had grown a lot taller. He was not as thin as he was at the beginning of the year. His facial features were regular and delicate. Like Yu Shu, he had a pair of almond-shaped eyes with light eyebrows, big eyes and a small mouth. At first glance, it was obvious that they were born from the same pair.
"Sister, I have finished my homework on time. The Headmaster praised my calligraphy today. I am not lazy or naughty. The day before yesterday, I tore my pants while riding a horse. I also told Aunt Huei about it. She said that I grow fast. In a few days, she will hire a tailor to measure my length. Sister, do you think I can grow as tall as Brother Xue in the future?"
Yu Shu would check Yu Xiaoxiu's homework every once in a while and talk to him. Yu Xiaoxiu was used to it, so he confessed frankly first.
"Then you should eat more, sleep early, and wake up early." Yu Shu rubbed his head. She sighed inwardly at the ease with which this child was worry-free. At the same time, she probed, "Little Xiu, do you miss your father?"
"Father?" Yu Xiaoxiu's eyes showed a little confusion. Then he looked at Yu Shu strangely, "Sister, you are confused. How old was I when our father was alive? How could I remember him?"
Yu Shu coughed. She almost forgot that Father Yu died early. She quickly covered it up and said, "I mean, do you want to have a father?"
But Yu Xiaoxiu was shocked by her words. He straightened his body and widened his eyes, "Mother is going to remarry again?!"
"No, what are you thinking?" Yu Shu rolled her eyes at him. She felt that it was difficult to talk in a roundabout way with him, so she said straightforwardly, "Let me put it this way. Do you want to formally recognize a godfather and godmother and be their son?"
When Yu Xiaoxiu heard that it was not Zhao Hui remarrying, he was relieved. When he heard what Yu Shu said next, his eyes obviously brightened. But he still asked doubtfully, "Will mother agree?"
Yu Xiaoxiu was different from Yu Shu. He was the heir of the Yu family. His biological mother was still alive. If he wanted to recognize a godfather, his biological mother had to agree. Otherwise, it would be unfilial.
"As long as you are happy and willing, mother will definitely agree." Yu Shu saw that he was tempted, so she guaranteed. As for whether Aunt Cui was willing or not, it was not a problem.
Yu Xiaoxiu lowered his head and thought for a long time. In the end, he couldn't resist the temptation of having a father and mother. He nodded shyly, "Aunt Huei is very good to me. Uncle He also treats me like his own son and is willing to teach me everything. If I can call them father and mother, I will be happy."
"That's good. I will tell them tomorrow." Yu Shu wrapped her arms around Yu Xiaoxiu's neck and pinched his face. Yu Xiaoxiu frowned and pushed her away. The sister and brother played together.
