97: Chapter 97 Hello, there's a scammer here.

Chen Yu arrived at Tang Yingmeng's home carrying gifts.

Tang Yingmeng's mother, who was also his Second Aunt, was a government cadre with a stable job.

This was why she wanted Tang Yingmeng to take the civil service exams.

Because she had enjoyed the benefits of a stable job, she had a say in the matter.

She would also be able to look after Tang Yingmeng in the future.

But regarding the path of music, their family only had Chen Yu, and he was... hard to describe.

He was living in a basement; how could he be convincing?

When the door opened, a middle-aged woman appeared who looked sixty percent like Chen Yu's mother.

"Second Aunt."

"Xiao Yu? Come in quickly. This girl said she was going to find you to play; did she cause you any trouble? Why did you buy gifts? Coming to your own home like this, Second Aunt is going to have to lecture you. Why are you acting like a stranger?"

"It's been a long time since I visited, so it's just a small token of my appreciation."

Chen Yu could tell that Second Aunt was happy in her heart.

There is a difference between being polite and being impolite.

This had nothing to do with being treated like a stranger.

Second Aunt was also very good to him.

"Second Aunt will cook something delicious for you."

"Where is my Second Uncle?"

"There's an event he needs to attend today."

Second Uncle's rank was much higher than Second Aunt's, so he was very busy, often too busy to come home.

"Xiao Yu, you haven't been home for a long time, right? Your mother always tells me she misses you."

They had reached the topic Chen Yu least wanted to talk about.

Chen Yu couldn't hide his awkwardness.

"Well, I'm quite busy with work right now. I'll go back in a few days."

"I see..."

Tang Yingmeng watched her cousin and her mom chat like a good girl.

She didn't dare to relax for a second; otherwise, her mom would scold her again.

"By the way, Second Aunt, I came today because I have something I want to discuss with you."

Tang Yingmeng's body stiffened!

Here it comes!

It's finally here!

She pricked up her little ears.

"What is it? No need to be formal with Second Aunt."

Seeing her daughter's expression, she understood.

"Did Mengmeng ask you to be her lobbyist?" Second Aunt's aura as an official was naturally imposing.

"Ahem, it's like this. Since I'm a music major, I accidentally discovered today that Mengmeng's vocal conditions are very good. It would be a waste of talent if she doesn't study music."

"Is that so? How come I didn't hear anything different?" As she spoke, she glared at Tang Yingmeng.

Isn't this going against the leader?

Could the leader be happy?

This is rebellion!

Tang Yingmeng was shivering now, like a little ostrich, almost burying her head in the sofa.

However, she still resisted in a low voice: "You're not a professional anyway~"

Chen Yu couldn't help but sigh. Are you being brave, or are you just increasing the difficulty for me?

"Second Aunt, don't be angry yet."

"Alright, go ahead. I'm not angry. If you can convince me, I'll agree to let her study music."

"But, you know no one in our family is in the music industry, so there's no way to look after her. With her lawless personality, she'll easily get into trouble."

"I won't. I'm very well-behaved~" Tang Yingmeng muttered softly.

Parents and children are sometimes natural enemies.

Chen Yu began to activate his skill—Silver Tongue!

I argue!

"Look, education should be tailored to the individual. We shouldn't stifle a child's talent..."

"Mengmeng is a child with musical talent, and she happens to like music. Her future studies will be twice as effective with half the effort. If we constantly suppress her and force her to study something she doesn't like, it will be half the result for twice the effort, and it could easily cause mental issues for the child."

Tang Yingmeng nodded like a chick pecking at grain.

Exactly, exactly!

If this continues, I'll get depressed!

Xue Yunxi watched the siblings play off each other and said with interest, "Go on."

Seeing this, Chen Yu had something he felt he had to say: Second Aunt, are you watching a play?

So Chen Yu continued...

Xue Yunxi: "It's not that Mengmeng can't study music, but what about her future development? Although my knowledge is limited, I know a bit. This circle is hard to survive in."

Chen Yu understood.

As expected of an official.

"Don't worry. Mengmeng is my sister. It wouldn't make sense if I didn't look after her."

"Brother, you're so good! I'll take care of you in your old age!" Tang Yingmeng's eyes were full of emotion.

Chen Yu's mouth twitched. You really are my good sister!

Fortunately, you only said taking care of me in my old age and didn't mention seeing me off to my grave.

"Uh, just take care of your parents. You don't need to worry about me."

"That's different. Being brothers—no, being siblings is in the heart!"

"Brother! Just watch me!"

It must be said that Tang Yingmeng's statement gave Chen Yu's heart some solace. This was a good child who knew how to be grateful.

Then let's see how things go!

Tang Yingmeng was already planning to introduce all her beautiful female classmates to her cousin!

"I haven't agreed yet."

"Mom~ I beg you~" Tang Yingmeng began to use her ultimate move—

Super Coquettish Spoiled Death-Defying Chain Hugs!

"Oh dear, I'm about to be shaken apart by you." Xue Yunxi was quite helpless; she just happened to fall for this.

"Alright, alright, I agree."

"But let me give you a fair warning: if your academic grades don't pass, humph!"

"Listen to your brother more in the future. He's more experienced than you. Of course, don't learn from his running away from home."

Chen Yu: Why bring that up when we're all happy!

Chen Yu had lunch at his Second Aunt's house and left in the afternoon.

Amidst Tang Yingmeng's deep reluctance, because she had to go to tutoring classes again in the afternoon.

...꒦ິ^꒦ິ...

Chen Yu prepared to go to another coffee shop.

He had an appointment with the director of Voice of Nature at 3 PM to discuss the specific details of the contract.

Just as he entered the subway station, a man walked over.

"Hey handsome, hello. With your build and looks, you definitely have the potential to be a star. Do you want to join our company?"

"Your company?"

Chen Yu saw the other person dressed like a secret agent, wearing a hat and a mask on such a hot day.

He quickly took a half-step back.

"Don't be afraid. I just have a bit of a cold. This is just my outfit. It's very fashion, right?"

"Uh, I can't tell."

"You're quite humorous, handsome. This is my business card. My name is Chris."

"Sorry, I don't like people handing things to me."

[Is Chen Yu actually Iron Man?]

[Then Chen Yu is missing a sexy female secretary. I think my cousin would do, as long as Chen Yu gives me his courtyard house!]

[Where would Chen Yu get money? He's just a poor kid. Otherwise, he wouldn't be living in a basement. You believe whatever he says?]

[I just believe it, so there! *Pick nose*]

"Uh, then let me introduce our company's business. From packaging to marketing and various other aspects, we will definitely build you into a first-class superstar. We can release albums, hold concerts, and TV and movie resources will be pouring in~"

"Only 18,888 for the training fee~"

Chen Yu waved his hand toward the distance.

"Do you have a friend?"

"They can come to our company too! I'll give you a discount..."

The man in sunglasses turned around and saw a duty officer walking over with a baton in hand.

He turned back and saw Chen Yu saying to the duty officer, "Hello, there's a scammer here!"
