Chapter 63 A Rich Emotional History
The next day.
Yan Mingyu was preparing to return to East Sea.
Grandpa's health had almost fully recovered, and with no more worries, she needed to go back and continue her battle with Liu Nanyan.
Originally, her plan had been to bring Qin Yu's grandpa to East Sea as well, offering him a suburban villa and the best treatment, and to become Grandpa's personal doctor.
However, the one who opposed this idea was Old Yang.
He had taken a liking to this pristine little village and planned to live here for a year or maybe longer. Firstly, it would allow him to recuperate, and secondly, he could keep Qin Yu's grandpa company, climb the mountains when free, and play chess.
Yan Mingyu thought this wasn't a bad idea either. Since the asphalt road was under construction, it would be convenient to visit Grandpa in the future.
Subsequently, Qin Yu, Yan Mingyu, and the medical team arrived at the village entrance.
Just as they were about to get in the car, a motorcycle came from afar.
"Xiao Yu!"
"Big brother!"
The two people on the motorcycle shouted loudly.
"President Yan, I'll just speak with them for a moment and then I'll go!"
Qin Yu said to Yan Mingyu.
"Mhm!"
Yan Mingyu nodded and got into the Range Rover first.
"Hehe, big brother, thank you! You solved our family's problem!"
After parking the motorcycle, Deng Xiaohao said to Qin Yu with a big grin.
"Thank my boss, she solved it!"
Qin Yu tilted his head.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
"Hehe, thank you, beautiful boss!"
Deng Xiaohao bowed and nodded respectfully.
"Xiao Yu, take this with you, free-range eggs, you can't buy them in the big city. This time we really owe it to your boss, make sure you work hard in the future to repay her!"
Chen Yulan held out a bulging cloth bag.
"Forget it, the road out isn't easy to travel, and it would be a shame if they got shaken and damaged!"
Qin Yu looked at his mother, her face showing signs of age, and felt a pang of sourness in his heart.
"Take it, it's not for you, it's for your boss!"
Chen Yulan forcefully stuffed the cloth bag into Qin Yu's hands.
"Hehe, big brother, we also have a hen!"
Deng Xiaohao took a hen tied up with straw ropes from the motorcycle and handed it to Qin Yu: "It's for your boss too!"
"Uh..."
Qin Yu turned to look at Yan Mingyu and seeing that she had said nothing, he nodded: "Okay, then. We're about to leave. You... try not to be so impulsive in the future."
After speaking, Qin Yu opened the Range Rover's trunk and placed the eggs and the hen inside.
"Xiao Yu, when will you come back next time?"
Chen Yulan asked with red-rimmed eyes.
"I'll come back when I have the time!"
Qin Yu turned away, his own eyes growing slightly moist.
"If you get a wife, bring her back to let Mom have a look!"
Chen Yulan said, wiping her eyes.
"...Okay, Mom!"
Finally, after more than ten years, Qin Yu still called out that weighty word.
"Ah, Xiao Yu!"
Unable to hold back, Chen Yulan hugged her son tightly.
Perhaps there had been misunderstandings between mother and son, but the thick blood of kinship would not fade with time.
"Hehe, big brother!"
Deng Xiaohao scratched his head and also had a big hug with Qin Yu.
"You're not young anymore. When you have some spare time, learn a skill. Make money honestly and don't let Mom worry about you anymore!"
Qin Yu patted Deng Xiaohao on the shoulder.
"Got it, big brother!"
Deng Xiaohao nodded.
"Alright, I'm off now!"
Qin Yu turned around and got into the Range Rover.
"Xiao Yu, drive safely!"
Chen Yulan waved her hand, her eyes filled with reluctance.
On the way.
Yan Mingyu had been resting with her eyes closed, but once they were on the highway, she suddenly asked, "The policeman last night, he called you 'cousin-in-law'? Is your wife also from your hometown?"
"Er..."
Qin Yu turned his head to glance at Yan Mingyu, thinking to himself, My wife, isn't that you?
However, what he said was, "Li Tao is my ex-girlfriend's younger cousin. We dated for several years, and I always thought we would get married, so that's why Li Tao addresses me that way. In the end, she married someone else."
"Ex-girlfriend, wife, you've had quite a rich romantic history, haven't you!"
Yan Mingyu curved her red lips slightly, saying this with a playful tone.
"I... have been with my ex-girlfriend for several years, but nothing ever... happened,"
Qin Yu explained.
"Ha, what does that have to do with me?"
Yan Mingyu turned away, looking out the window.
"..."
Qin Yu was left somewhat speechless, wasn't it you who brought up this topic?
Noon.
The group returned to East Sea City.
After having a working meal at the company, Yan Mingyu asked Yang Min to notify the senior management to hold a meeting.
By the way, she announced something during the meeting. Because Qin Yu was diligent in his work and had an outstanding performance, he was promoted to the President's special assistant for security.
Don't underestimate the difference between a security assistant and a special assistant for security; it's only one word.
But the difference in status and salary is vast.
It meant that Qin Yu had also stepped into the level of high-income white-collar workers with an annual salary of a million.
After the meeting, Qin Yu followed Yan Mingyu back to her office, his face wearing a sycophantic smile: "Thank you, President Yan, for the promotion!"
"I never underappreciate anyone who has contributed to the company!"
Yan Mingyu walked into her office and took out a bank card from a drawer, handing it to Qin Yu: "There is one million inside, use it for a down payment on a nice house."
"Ah?"
This time, Qin Yu was truly touched.
Experience tales at empire
Of course, he understood why Yan Mingyu was promoting him and giving him money—it was all because he and his grandfather had saved Old Yang.
It was a form of repayment in disguise.
"I'm giving you a day off, get some rest! You can go now."
After saying this, Yan Mingyu waved her hand dismissively.
"Sure, President Yan. My phone is on 24/7; if you need me, just call!"
Qin Yu nodded, clutching the bank card as he exited the office.
Stepping out onto the street, he dialed his sister's number on his personal phone: "Wei'er, how have you been doing recently?"
"Pretty good, brother. The company notified me that I'll be able to fly officially next week!"
Qin Wei'er said happily.
"That's good. Send me a photo of both sides of your ID card!"
Qin Yu shifted to the matter at hand.
"Brother, why do you need a photo of my ID card?"
Qin Wei'er asked, confused.
"Don't worry about it, just send it to me!"
Qin Yu planned to use the one million for a down payment on a house but put it in his sister's name.
It didn't matter to him if he could settle in a big city, but his sister definitely needed her own house; it would also make dating easier for her in the future.
"Alright, I'll send it to you right away!"
Qin Wei'er responded.
Soon, Qin Yu received the photos of his sister's ID card through WeChat and had them photocopied at a stationary store.
Then he started looking on his phone for properties about to be launched in East Sea.
The average prices were all around twenty thousand per square meter.
To buy a hundred square meters, that would be two million.
Fortunately, his salary had also increased; otherwise, even with the one million, he wouldn't dare make the down payment, as the monthly mortgage could be crushing.
Mm, let's go with this property, Tong Weixiang Gardens. It contains my sister's name.
Qin Yu hailed a cab and soon arrived at the sales department.
Just as he got out of the car, a woman wearing sunglasses with flowing long hair walked out.
She paused as she passed by Qin Yu, then exclaimed, "Qin Yu?"
"Li Lu?"
Qin Yu stopped in his tracks.
Looking at Li Lu's pale face with faint traces of bruising, he couldn't help asking, "Who hit you?"
