Chapter 207: 203. Bert's Arrival (Please subscribe, please vote for monthly tickets!)
After Yu Mingzhi returned home, he looked at his wife who was cooking and thought for a moment before saying, "Honey, don't cook today. Let's go eat at Mom and Dad's place."
"I've already started cooking, why are you only saying this now?" Yu Mingzhi's wife said with dissatisfaction.
"If I tell you not to cook, then don't cook. Why are you wasting your breath?" Yu Mingzhi was thinking entirely about how to communicate with his second younger sister, so his tone sounded a bit unpleasant.
Yu Mingzhi's wife could tell something was on his mind, so she didn't bicker with him, only asking, "Did something happen?"
Yu Mingzhi thought it over and told her the situation, after which his wife said, "So, whether you get promoted next depends on Qingyu?"
Yu Mingzhi nodded, "Yes, if she helps, then I can soon take over General Manager Wu's position."
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go quickly," Yu Mingzhi's wife said hurriedly.
Then the family hurriedly headed to his parents' house.
On the flight from London to Shanghai, the somewhat nervous expression on Bert's face slowly began to turn into one of speechlessness.
He felt he had been schemed against by his parents!
No, it wasn't a feeling; now he could be certain he had been schemed against by his parents!
An hour ago, his parents came to find him, saying that Auston and the others had run away from home and had even gone to Huaxia, and that they had just discovered it.
Bert was very fond of his twin younger brothers and had a good relationship with them, so he immediately felt nervous upon hearing this.
Then, before he could even recover and think carefully, his parents had already sent him to the airport. On the way there, they hadn't stopped talking, ensuring he had absolutely no time to think.
And as soon as he arrived at the airport, the plane took off immediately, without even a minute of delay.
Thinking about it now, this was entirely his parents' trap. There were simply too many flaws in it, but at first, he was too worried to think clearly, and he had never imagined his parents would scheme against him.
Bert opened his phone with a wry smile and began to dial his father's number, but it was immediately hung up.
Bert could only send a message first, saying he already knew the situation and didn't blame them, after which Prince Haiman finally accepted the video call.
"Father, Mother, what exactly do you want me to do?" Bert said helplessly.
Prince Haiman spoke sheepishly and said nothing. Facing this son of his, he felt a bit uncomfortable, especially since his son knew he had been scheming.
Lin Mei, however, appeared very calm, "Nothing, just letting you go to your uncle's house for a while to relax properly during this time."
"You mean that Zhang Shu?" Bert also knew Zhang Ran; after all, he had heard his father mention this matter many times since he was a child.
Moreover, since his parents returned this time, they had been talking about this matter incessantly. He remembered his father's expression at the time very clearly: happy and relaxed.
"That's him. Remember, don't put on any airs when you get there, or don't blame me for not warning you if you get beaten up," Prince Haiman reminded him.
He knew his son wasn't the type to put on airs, or rather, Bert had never put on airs; he was always gentle and refined toward everyone.
It was just that as parents, they were still a bit worried, or perhaps Prince Haiman said it on purpose, just to let Bert open up his heart and truly relax.
Bert didn't say much, only saying, "I don't have much time. My schoolwork is very busy right now."
"Just go there first. The schoolwork isn't urgent," Prince Haiman said, then immediately hung up the phone, not giving Bert a moment to react.
Bert sighed. He found that ever since his parents returned from Huaxia, they seemed to have become different people; they seemed more easygoing and relaxed than before.
Just as he was about to put away his phone, he suddenly received a text message from his father.
"I know you don't like living with others, so I bought you a house next to your Uncle Zhang's place. You can just move in when you get there."
Prince Haiman had prepared things to this extent; what else could Bert say?
However, he became increasingly curious about what kind of magic this Uncle Zhang possessed that made his father trust him so much.
And he also discovered that his parents' changes must all be related to this Uncle Zhang.
Zhang Ran and Taylor arrived at Modu Jichang again. Zhang Ran said speechlessly to Taylor, "Does this guy Haiman think our house is a nursery? Why did he stuff his whole family over here?"
Zhang Ran was also quite speechless. This guy Haiman was really not polite; sending his two younger sons was one thing, but now he had sent his eldest son too.
Taylor shrugged and said, "If you don't mind having more, when the time comes, I'll send the two I have at home over to you as well."
"Get lost, do you really think my place is a nursery?" Zhang Ran scolded him crossly.
"But what is your situation exactly? A secret marriage? That shouldn't be it, right?" Zhang Ran asked curiously.
Taylor sighed and said, "Not married, just have children. The mother of the children doesn't want to marry me."
"Heh, with your personality, anyone who marries you is just after your money," Zhang Ran said without any hesitation.
Taylor obviously knew this situation, saying, "I know, but I don't want to get married either. This is the best way; it doesn't delay me from picking up girls."
"Forget it, it's your own family business, as long as you understand it yourself," Zhang Ran couldn't be bothered to say more.
Just as they were talking, a handsome man walked out of the VIP exit with a standard smile on his face that made people feel favorable toward him at first glance.
Quite a few girls had already begun to secretly size up this mixed-race handsome man, and the bold ones were quietly following him, preparing to ask for his number.
Zhang Ran and Taylor didn't go up, but watched Bert deal with these girls.
It had to be said that Bert was truly impeccable in this regard; in the end, he didn't give out a single contact method, and didn't even agree to a photo together.
But none of the rejected girls were angry, nor did they feel the embarrassment that usually follows a rejection.
After Bert finished handling these matters, Zhang Ran and the others walked over.
"Uncle Taylor, Uncle Zhang." Bert hadn't expected Taylor to be here too, but he still performed a standard greeting.
"Hello, Bert." Zhang Ran greeted Bert with a smile.
Bert was also curiously sizing up Zhang Ran; this was the first time he had shown an expression other than his standard smile.
"Let's go, let's head back first. Everyone is waiting at home, and Auston and the others miss you very much," Zhang Ran said with a smile.
"Then I'll trouble you, Uncle Zhang," Bert said with a smile.
Zhang Ran understood at this moment why Taylor always spoke of Bert in a tone of praise, yet it always gave Zhang Ran a feeling that something wasn't quite right.
