Entertainment: A whirlwind marriage with a fairy-like mother at the start!

Chapter 209 The Old Lady Calls

Liu Xiaoli sighed softly, rolled over and lay flat on her back, staring blankly at the crystal chandelier on the ceiling.

"I received a phone call from home this afternoon."

"At home".

These two words swirled in Yu Le's mind.

This "home" is clearly not that home.

Instead, it was the Liu family, whose threshold was so high it could trip someone up, and who looked down on him from beginning to end.

And then there was that old lady who constantly called him a "pretty boy" and a "gold digger."

Yu Le's smile faded slightly.

He calmly picked up the thermos, unscrewed it, took a sip of water, and suppressed his displeasure.

"Is the old lady feeling unwell? Or is she short of money?"

His tone was flat, revealing no emotion.

Liu Xiaoli shook her head.

"Neither."

She paused for a moment, as if organizing her thoughts.

"She... must have watched 'Rob-B-Hood' and seen Mu Chen."

Yu Le understood.

Grandparental love.

In addition, the chubby little boy in the movie was so adorable that even if the old lady's heart was made of stone, she would probably soften when she saw her great-grandson's cleverness on the big screen.

"She wants to see the child."

After Liu Xiaoli finished speaking, she observed Yu Le's reaction.

The air was still for a few seconds.

To be honest, Yu Le had absolutely no liking for that old lady.

He may have been thick-skinned after that humiliating ordeal, but that doesn't mean he had a bad memory.

But she was, after all, Liu Xiaoli's biological mother.

She is Liu Qianqian's maternal grandmother.

If Liu Xiaoli wants to go back and repair the relationship, he's a grown man; there's no need for him to get angry with an old woman.

At worst, we can bring a couple more bodyguards, make a big show of it, and use money to shut the old lady up.

With this in mind, he felt reassured, turned to face Liu Xiaoli, and reached out to tuck a stray strand of hair behind her ear.

"Go if you want to."

Yu Le's eyes were gentle and tolerant.

"I'll go with you. It'll be a good opportunity for the old lady to see just how well I'm living off her."

Liu Xiaoli stared at him intently, looking at the doting and indulgent look in the man's eyes.

She suddenly smiled, her eyes sparkling.

"I'm not going."

Yu Le was taken aback and raised an eyebrow.

"Um?"

Liu Xiaoli suddenly sat up, the silky quilt sliding down her fragrant shoulders, and under the light, her snow-white skin was dazzling.

She casually tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, a move that was both beautiful and cool.

"I rejected it."

"The old lady didn't fry it?" Yu Le couldn't help but ask curiously.

"It's blown up."

Liu Xiaoli shrugged, looking completely indifferent.

"She yelled at me on the phone, saying I was unfilial, that I had grown up, and that I had forgotten my parents after finding a man."

"and then?"

"Then I hung up the phone."

Liu Xiaoli lay directly on top of Yu Le, finding a comfortable position to rub against him.

"Yu Le, having you is enough for me."

She raised her hand and gently traced his eyebrows and eyes with her fingertips.

"There's Xixi, and there's Muchen."

"Our family of four living a harmonious and happy life is better than anything else."

"As for them..."

Liu Xiaoli paused, her tone becoming rational and indifferent.

"I will send them a sum of money every month on time."

"I've fulfilled my duty as a daughter to support her."

Yu Le looked at the woman in his arms.

At that moment, he felt that Liu Xiaoli was absolutely radiant with beauty.

"Wife."

Yu Le lowered his head and rubbed his chin against her forehead.

"Um?"

You look absolutely stunning right now.

Liu Xiaoli raised her head, two blushes rising on her face, and glared at him reproachfully.

Stop being so cheeky.

I'm serious.

Yu Le leaned closer and gave those warm, red lips a big kiss.

The lights went out.

In the bedroom, only two increasingly rapid breaths remained, mingling and growing warm.

.......

I didn't sleep well.

Five o'clock in the morning.

Little Yu Muchen promptly activated his human alarm clock mode.

The loud crying pierced through the two soundproof doors, pulling Yu Le directly out of her reverie.

"Ancestor, you are my ancestor."

Yu Le grumbled as she got up, not even bothering to put on her clothes, and first changed the little chubby baby's heavy diaper.

Liu Xiaoli was still fast asleep, her long hair scattered on the pillow, her breathing even.

Yu Le quietly carried the child out of the bedroom.

The morning light had not yet penetrated into the living room.

He skillfully prepared the milk, fed the baby, and burped the baby, his movements flowing smoothly and effortlessly.

By the time the Buddha statue was properly repositioned, the sun was already high in the sky.

Yu Le sat in a rocking chair in front of the French windows, holding an unopened copy of the morning newspaper.

My phone suddenly vibrated in my pocket.

Yu Le took out his phone, and a string of completely unfamiliar numbers was flashing on the screen.

It starts with 001.

"Are telecom fraud cases now operating internationally?"

Yu Le pursed her lips, intending to hang up immediately.

But the number persisted relentlessly, as if it would keep calling until his phone exploded if he didn't answer.

He pressed the answer button.

"Feed? Who?"

The first sound I heard on the other end of the phone was a crackling electrical noise.

Then, a slightly hesitant voice rang out.

"President Yu...it's me, Li Zhaohua."

Yu Le paused for a second.

The image that flashed through my mind was of a tech geek with hair so messy he could raise birds, who spent all his time in the special effects lab.

"Old Li? Isn't it the middle of the night where you are? What kind of immortal cultivation technique are you practicing instead of sleeping?"

Li Zhaohua's voice sounded somewhat excited.

"Mr. Yu, I... I have something I'd like to report to you."

Yu Le said with a smile.

"Tell me. Is it because you don't have enough living expenses? Or are the professors at USC so twisted that they persuaded you to quit?"

Li Zhaohua remained silent for a moment.

"No... Mr. Yu, I've made some friends here. They're all top students from USC, and two of them are big shots from Industrial Light & Magic."

"and then?"

Yu Le peeled an orange, popped a segment into his mouth, and the sweet and sour taste exploded in his mouth.

"We recently... worked together on a project. It's about new algorithms for real-time rendering and fluid simulation."

Li Zhaohua spoke more and more fluently, her speech coming at a speed like a machine gun.

"They want to start a film and television special effects studio. They've even come up with a name: 'Light and Shadow Lab'."

Yu Le stopped peeling the orange.

The cheeks stopped moving.

A premonition that "the pig I've worked so hard to raise is going to run away with someone" instantly enveloped my entire body.

"Old Li, what are you trying to say?"

Yu Le's voice turned cold.

"Do you want to join them? Do you want to stay in the United States?"

"What did we agree on back then? I'd pay for your further studies, and you'd come back and build me a rocket. Now, the rocket is nowhere to be seen, and you're already planning to settle down in America?"

On the other end of the phone, Li Zhaohua was so anxious that he was incoherent.

"No, no, no! Mr. Yu, you've misunderstood! That's not what I meant!"

"I mean, they're short on funds right now. Those two big shots from Industrial Light & Magic were just ousted because of ideological differences."

Li Zhaohua took a breath, her voice very low, as if afraid of being overheard.

"Mr. Yu, what I mean is... could you possibly buy this studio?"

Yu Le threw the orange peel into the trash can.

He pulled out a tissue and carefully wiped the juice off his fingers.

"Buy it?"

"Yes! Bring all of them over!"

Yu Le stood up.

He paced slowly in the living room.

My brain is working at lightning speed.
