Yu Tang put down the phone and returned the plastic cabbage to his sister, “Play by yourself, I’m going to find father to say some things.”
“Okay,” Yu Miao obediently nodded.
Yu Tang froze for a moment. His little sister’s response was obedient and straightforward, without the slightest hint of doubting him, and also wouldn’t question much. It was exactly the same as Song Xiao’s response just now. Within the large, clear and limpid eyes was nothing but trust and dependence.
Dependence…
Song Xiao of their last life, wouldn’t tell him of the matters within his home. Before the two of them got married, he had always abided by the etiquette of a minister and a ruler. He had trust, but there wasn’t any dependence. Now, in the modern era, it seemed to be a bit different. Perhaps even Song Xiao himself hadn’t realised this point.
Yu Tang lowered his eyes, his heart welling up with secret delight. Here, Song Xiao only knew him, thus could only rely on him. Maybe, he could make use of this point…
Secretly being delighted by himself for a while, Yu Tang turned around to leave the playroom. The top priority was resolving the problem of Dari Media. As his empress, how could he become an actor?
When Song Xiao’s phone call with Yu Tang ended, the quarreling noises from downstairs still hadn’t stopped. Casually checking the internet, the current press regarding Qiu Mingyan was completely negative. Because Xinghai Entertainment had reacted, deleting all photos related to the illegitimate child Song Zheng, the ones that weren’t deleted had added mosaic, there was only the hype regarding ‘Pudding Gongzi’ continuing.
Xinghai Entertainment felt that this was a rare chance to redeem the company’s reputation, thus hadn’t blocked it. After all, the future heir of the company was a handsome, noble gongzi, so this was definitely a positive thing for Xinghai’s business.
But now, looking at it, this was Dari Media’s prelude to ‘forcing an honest girl into prostitution’. Song Xiao flipped open the ‘General Civil Law’ at hand, preparing to see if there was any way to handle the internet’s hype.
“Xiaoxiao, I’ve made some small wontons, you eat some first.” Auntie Chen knocked on the door, carrying a bowl of wonton in. Seeing Song Xiao obediently eating it, she couldn’t help sighing.
“Auntie, do you know my grandfather’s phone number?” Song Xiao lifted the spoon to stir the scalding hot wonton soup. After coming to for two months, he still hadn’t seen grandmother or grandfather. Previously from what he heard from Auntie Chen, his grandfather lived in his home region, a third-tier city.
“Yes, it was recorded in the phone directory, I’ll bring it for you,” Auntie Chen turned and went downstairs, secretly letting out an aggrieved sigh. This child had received grievances and had nowhere to talk to, and could only look for his grandparents, how pitiful.
Song Xiao received his grandfather’s house’s phone number, it was a landline number. Looking at the time, he intended to call tomorrow instead. There was no main mother in their home, and he couldn’t meddle in his father’s marriage, so he could only ask his grandfather to step in.
“You want Dari Media?” In the Yu family’s study, Yu Tang’s father looked at his eldest son in amazement.
Yu family had a large household with a large fortune, Dari Media was only a small project, obtaining the shares with the lowest price. It was purely the benefit given by Yu Dan to seek connections with the main family.
“En,” Yu Tang sat in front of his father, calmly elaborating on his justifications. This life’s father was exactly the same as his last life, except that now, when he confronted this face, he already didn’t have the prudentness of that year. After all, those covetous shu brothers no longer exist, and father emperor had already become father.
Yu family possessed 22% of the shares of Dari Media, with enormous controlling rights during the shareholder meetings. In truth, there were other ways to deal with Song Xiao’s inconvenience, but he was still used to grasping control of the roots of it in the palm of his hand.
“There’s no problem giving it to you, but right now you’re still a minor, so you cannot make any decisions in the company.” Yu Fu gazed at his own son solemnly. This eldest son was somewhat autistic when he was small, a few years ago, after he had recovered, he became especially intelligent and competent, making him feel very happy. Following after Yu Tang’s slow reveal of his competence, there were many times he had never regarded his son as a child, even discussing some corporation issues with him.
“Documents can be signed with father as substitution.” If a minor became a shareholder, the decision-making could be issued by their guardian as a substitute, in this way it would go into effect.
Before he reached adulthood, he too did not intend to use Dari Media, and only wanted to resolve Song Xiao’s inconvenience.
Going through two hours of thorough discussions, Yu Tang smoothly obtained the 22% shares of Dari Media. Yu Dan and his family had already left, while his mother was currently in the living room playing with her younger son.
His little sister was playing at the side with the husky, holding a tennis ball in her hand. “Zhang Xiaoren, I’ll throw the ball out, you bring it back ah!”
The black and white dog excitedly jumped back and forth, awaiting that ball.
“Xiaoxiao ah, how could you put other people’s child on a tree? How rude.” Yu Mother wiped the drool flowing out of her younger son’s mouth and lifted her head to look at Yu Tang.
Yu Tang walked over, flicking Zhang Xiaoren’s dog head. “For me to not beat him up is already considered very restrained.”
“Awoo!” After the husky was flicked on its head, it resentfully howled. Lifting its head and seeing that it was Yu Tang, it immediately became terrified, tucking its tail and fleeing to the back of the sofa like a wisp of smoke. After a moment, it stealthily exposed two ears, then slowly showed a pair of small eyes.
“You ah…” Yu mother shook her head, she had already heard the entire cause and effect. Still, for her son to be this protective towards a little sister made her very happy, so she didn’t continue speaking anymore, turning around to poke her little son’s chubby face. “Ah yes, didi’s name hasn’t been decided yet, what do you think would be a good name ne?”
Yu Tang stood at the side of the cradle, looking at that tender and crying infant, opening a pair of large, ignorant eyes to gaze at him. Slowly lifting a hand, touching his little brother’s protruding ears, and thought of a sentence in the history book describing, ‘Hongyuan Emperor appeared majestic, ears protruding, thereupon altering the presentation of the golden imperial crown’.
Because of this pair of protruding ears, Hongyuan Emperor Yu Jinlin changed the golden imperial crown of eastern pearls of the previous dynasty into the celestial dragon crown, so as not to press down onto his ears. And also from this time onwards, Dayu’s future emperors never wore the golden crown ever again.
“Call him,” Yu Tang gazed directly into his brother’s eyes, slowly saying, “Yu Lin ba.”
“Wu… Ahh…” his brother’s eyes abruptly widened, then quickly shut as he began to cry loudly.
“What’s wrong?” Mother moved closer to look at him, and realised her little son was crying loudly without tears, and touched him from top to bottom, and discovered that he had peed.
“Gege, why is didi crying?” Yu Miao shifted over to look at him in curiosity, could it be that little brother didn’t like the name chosen by older brother?
“He’s too happy,” Yu Tang said expressionlessly.
The child in the cradle howled even louder.
