That aside, the fact that Chen Xiaoqian could make Yu Mingli take time out to play with his family twice in such a short period of time impressed Eldest Sister-in-law and the two children.
“You really want me to make a request?”
“Whatever you want, it’s all good.” Yu Mingli was in high spirits.
“Then you should hang out with your two little handsome nephews for a whole week during their winter break. They must be bored as well. You can take the Eldest Sister-in-law and the children for a walk, and all the lost business during that week will be my reward.”
“Uh… you should ask for a car instead.” Eldest Brother hesitated.
Xiao Qian touched the cute little guys and asked with a smile, “What are your names?”
“I am Yu Yi Zhong!”
“I am Yu Yi Guan!”
The Eldest Sister-in-law, who was holding Panpan, waved to Xiao Qian and said, “His name is Yu Yibai!”
Second Brother hadn’t returned yet, Entrusting Panpan to Mother Yu, Mother Yu wanted to come today as well, but she had to take up an emergency medical case, so she brought the child here to be looked after by Eldest Brother and Eldest Sister-in-law.
Xiao Qian nodded, “So this generation is of the ‘Yi’ character.”
In the Yu family’s genealogy, the names in Yu Minglang’s generation all contain the character “Ming” and in the next generation, it is the character “Yi”.
Suddenly, Xiao Qian had a realization, “Eldest Sister-in-law, are their names ordered according to ‘Zhong Guan Bai Ri’?”
“That’s right, it’s the order that our Old Man Yu set in place. The children’s names all follow the order of Zhong Guan Bai Ri. It means that the Yu family’s loyalty and devotion run through day and night.”
Xiao Qian looked at the three little boys and suddenly felt sympathy for the fourth child of the Old Yu family.
Day…
Though Yu Minglang has a twin sister, even if she gets married, her children will not follow Yu family’s naming order.
Eldest Brother’s family has a set of twins, Second Brother just got divorced, and now it’s hard to know who will win this “jackpot.”
“It’s all right, it’s all good… By the way, Eldest Brother, can you lend me your phone? I need to send a message. My phone is out of power.”
After Tang father and daughter came out of the shop, Lily Tang suddenly remembered her friend who shared her misfortune.
“Ah, where did Xiao Qian go?”
Tang Daye’s phone rang and it was a text message. He opened it and couldn’t help but laugh and cry.
“Your little friend is really something.”
Lily Tang took his phone and saw that Xiao Qian had sent the message from Yu Mingli’s phone. It had only six characters.
Old Tang, honor the bet.
“Dad, how did you end up being called ‘Old Tang’? And what did you bet on with her? Xiao Qian is really good at taking advantage of people…”
Lily Tang had been taken advantage of by Xiao Qian and had to serve plates for three days, her worldview had been completely reshuffled.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Qian not only took advantage of her but even fooled the big boss.
And she even changed her dad’s name to Old Tang, which was quite disrespectful. Even Yu Mingli politely called him Brother Tang when he saw Director Tang.
“Scroll up, and you’ll know after you read the previous few text messages.”
Tang Daye was also in a difficult position now, as he never expected Xiao Qian to be so powerful.
Lily scrolled back and saw that Xiao Qian had made a bet with Tang Daye three days ago.
The content was simple. If she could make Shuixian work in the barbecue restaurant for 3 days and make progress with her father’s emotions after finishing her work, Tang Daye would agree to her conditions.
Furthermore, Xiao Qian said that if she couldn’t do it, she welcomed Tang Daye to demolish her house, dig out her family’s grave, and throw her into the ocean in a sack.
“I will call her big brother later and ask him to come over and sign the contract. Frankly speaking, so many people have tried to get close to our Tang Family over the years, but Xiao Qian’s approach is the most powerful. So be it, I will honor the bet.”
Tang Daye thought that what Xiao Qian wanted him to do was give the contract to Yu Mingli since both families were at odds now.
Lily shook her head, “I have a feeling that’s not what Xiao Qian wants.”
“My daughter, you’re still young, and your judgment of people is not so accurate. I admit that Chen Xiaoqian is very capable, and you can be friends with her in the future, but don’t take it too seriously, especially since there are interests involved between you two. You like her, but she’s only getting close to you for her brother’s sake.”
Tang Daye knew it was a bit cruel, but he had to tell his daughter the truth.
“Are you sure…?” Lily Tang opened the message Xiao Qian had sent her and started laughing after reading it. She even laughed so hard that tears came out.
“Dad, you look for yourself, what does she want you to do?”
“What the hell?!” Tang Daye was shocked after reading the message. Chen Xiaoqian had asked him to do exactly that?
As Lily Tang had anticipated, Xiao Qian didn’t want Tang Daye to deal with the contract but something else altogether.
Here’s what Xiao Qian’s message said:
Old Tang, your daughter owes me 80.5 cents, please, within 1 day, take your daughter to sell Chive Dumplings and use the money you earned to pay the debt. A father should pay his daughter’s debt.
“This girl has no respect, no manners, and doesn’t know the limits of joking around! I’m going to talk to her brother and see what kind of upbringing this girl has gotten!”
The wealthy man was not happy. With his wealth, why would he sell Chive Dumplings!
“Do you really owe her money?”
“Yes… You see this cotton jacket I’m wearing? She bought it for me. And she paid for the transport. It’s a total of 80.5 cents.”
“I’ll give her back 85,000. No, 850,000 yuan! And don’t hang out with her anymore!” Tang Daye felt utterly humiliated.
Just as Tang Daye was getting angry, Shuixian’s phone rang.
“Hello, Xiao Qian.”
“Tell this naughty girl that she’s on our family’s blacklist now!” Tang Daye yelled, but Lily Tang put her hand over his mouth and motioned for him to be quiet.
“Shuixian, you lost the bet.” Xiao Qian’s voice came through.
“Chen Xiaoqian, don’t you dare mess with me, give the phone to your brother!” Tang Daye wanted to use Yu Mingli to pressure Xiao Qian.
“Old Tang, my brother authorized me. He said he could give up the business, but he would fully support what I want to do.”
Eldest Brother, who was driving, nearly crashed the car into a tree. Hey, who said that! I want the business, I want it!
“Chen Xiaoqian, what are you really up to? Are you trying to make enemies between our families?” Tang Daye’s voice came through the speaker, and Eldest Sister-in-law heard it.
“Old Tang, shut up, let me talk to her.” Lily Tang said to her father.
The once powerful president who had gone from a wealthy man to Old Tang kicked a stone in anger, flinching in pain. The bodyguards who rarely saw his vulnerable state wanted to laugh, but one glance from the irritated Old Tang immediately stopped them.
“Xiao Qian, is the treatment you mentioned starting from this point?” Lily Tang asked.
“Yes, the three days you just experienced were part of the role-playing approach in reshaping anorexia treatment. I modified it a bit, isn’t it immersive? A thousand words couldn’t explain it as effectively as letting you experience it yourself. Now that you’ve accepted my treatment, I’ll treat your Old Tang. Go on, sell your Chive Dumplings and bring back the Old Tang from the past.”
“Alright, I accept your treatment, but… it seems that my dad doesn’t really accept it..”
