Chapter 106 The Stepson Who Married into a Wealthy Family with His Mother (17)
With the money, Xu Fu immediately began to make arrangements for his supplies.
Taking advantage of the fact that this was a modern society, Xu Fu shifted his focus in stockpiling supplies to modern technology.
From tablets to ships, Xu Fu left behind only 100 million coins.
The remaining money was all spent...
He thought that after the Yun family got what they wanted, they would have no further contact with him.
Who would have thought that a month later, Yan's mother would call Xu Fu again and summon him back.
"The eldest young lady is engaged to the young master of the Fang family, and the wedding banquet is this weekend—"
"Your Uncle Yun hopes you can attend, after all, we are still family."
"Engaged?! So what if they're engaged? What does it have to do with me?" Xu Fu said somewhat displeased.
He's still busy with his own affairs and has no desire to get involved in the Yun family's family matters...
“You must come back. This is your Uncle Yun’s order—” Mother Yan said resolutely, leaving no room for refusal.
After a long while, she said softly, "I have something I'd like to discuss with you."
"Prepare a couple more sets of clothes; you can stay at the Yun family's house then."
The mother's words were vague, and before Xu Fu could refuse, she hurriedly hung up the phone.
Seeing the person's ambiguous attitude, Xu Fu considered a possibility and directly called the system.
"Tongzi, I, this adopted mother, wouldn't be—"
"Yes." The system gave a clean and concise affirmative answer.
Xu Fu was immediately delighted—
Since they all want him to go back, then he'll go back and muddy the waters!
Xu Fu then pulled out a hairpin that was entirely emerald green from his spatial storage.
Intended to be given to the female lead as an engagement gift—
As for mica, Xu Fu also found someone a ruby hairpin.
Wearing it on your head will make you look more wealthy...
Xu Fu returned home, hurriedly prepared two sets of clothes, and then took a taxi to the Yun family villa.
When he arrived, everyone was there.
If Xu Fu hadn't known their personalities, he would have mistaken them for waiting for him!
Xu Fu briefly greeted Yun's father, then presented the gifts to the two ladies present...
The female lead pouted in disgust when she saw the green stone hairpin.
Upon seeing the ruby and gold hairpin belonging to the strict mother, his eyes lit up, and he reached out and snatched it away—
Ignoring the strange looks from the crowd, he nodded in satisfaction.
"I've taken a liking to this hairpin; consider it a gift from you—"
Ignoring her mother's objections, the female protagonist pushed the jade hairpin directly at the other person.
"If we trade one for one, at least you won't lose out!"
When the strict mother saw the hairpin, she showed no joy whatsoever.
As an ordinary person, she naturally also liked rubies and gold.
But since his things were stolen, he couldn't bring himself to take them back.
He pushed the hairpin back to Xu Fu, and gave an awkward laugh.
"I'm too old for these things—"
"Keep it, you can give it to your girlfriend later."
Xu Fu remained noncommittal; this jade hairpin was far more valuable than a gold hairpin.
Since neither of them thought it was a good fit, Xu Fu was naturally happy to take it back.
The other four people who didn't receive a gift could only watch longingly.
Even his two illegitimate sons glanced at Xu Fu multiple times, but Xu Fu pretended not to know.
He looked down at the marble pattern on the table, appearing quite obedient.
In the end, Xu Fu remained silent, and Yun's father had to step in to smooth things over.
"Everyone's here, let's start eating!"
"Xiao Ci, it's rare for you to come back. Stay here for the next few days."
"I have something else to talk to you about. Come to my study when you have time."
Xu Fu nodded; he wanted to see what this man, who wouldn't act until he saw the benefits, would do.
What exactly are they trying to manipulate him for?!
After dinner, Xu Fu was led by the steward to a guest room on the second floor.
It was the room of the illegitimate daughter.
Now that the woman has married out, it's actually benefiting Xu Fu, who came later...
Living on the same floor as the others made it easier for Xu Fu to cause trouble!
The next day, right after breakfast, Xu Fu was led into his study by Yun's father.
Strict mother followed behind—
Seeing such a large commotion, Xu Fu became somewhat wary.
After Yan's mother closed the door from the inside, Xu Fu had already prepared the sprayer.
If things get complicated, just kill them both and put them into your spatial storage...
Xu Fu was seated by the two men, one on one side and the other opposite him, while Yun's father sat down.
The strict mother sat beside the person with a tender and affectionate expression.
"Just say what you need to say."
Uncle Yun didn't call me in just to chat about everyday things, did he?!
Xu Fu spoke first, smiling as he looked at the two people opposite him.
"Your mother is pregnant, and you're going to have a little brother soon."
Mr. Yun spoke with a chuckle, while Mrs. Yan blushed shyly, her head bowed low.
They were practically burying their heads in each other's arms...
Although the two used Xu Fu's restorative elixir, they looked much younger—
But for someone of that age to do something like that is simply cringe-worthy...
Xu Fu looked away with disdain, then quickly put on a happy expression and congratulated the person repeatedly.
"This is wonderful news! Congratulations Uncle Yun, congratulations Mom!"
"But you called me in just to talk about this?!"
Xu Fu had long suspected that Yan's mother was pregnant.
He wasn't surprised that people were saying it directly now.
Xu Fu didn't believe that they would only talk to him about this one thing when they called him to their study...
Yun's father said in a strong voice, "I never imagined the medicine you gave me would be so effective—"
"Now I do have a business deal to discuss with you."
"Uncle Yun, please speak," Xu Fu said, feigning attentiveness and waiting for the two to reveal their intentions...
"The child your mother gave birth to, although my own child—"
"But I'm not in charge of the group's affairs now, and when he grows up, he'll definitely get less..."
"I was planning to ask you about it," Yun's father said hesitantly, glancing at Xu Fu.
"Could you hand over the prescription for that elixir—"
"We'll set up a company then, and all the profits will go to this kid."
Xu Fu frowned. All people were saying was that they wanted his formula—
And then he even made himself a pie in the sky...
Xu Fu looked at his mother and asked directly, "Mom, is this also your idea?!"
"I'm also thinking about your brother, so could you—"
The mother felt a little guilty and her momentum weakened. She looked at Xu Fu with a pleading expression.
Xu Fu wasn't angry; instead, he chuckled and immediately nodded in agreement.
"That's easy to discuss—"
Xu Fu looked at Yun's father and stated his request: "The prescription can be given to you—"
"However, the requirements for the medicinal herbs inside are too high; you might not be able to produce them!"
"Also, don't set up any new company. Just transfer 10% of the group's shares to my mother's name."
Xu Fu laughed freely, "As long as Uncle Yun can do it, I have no objection—"
