Chapter 57: Why Are You Shivering?

Chapter 57: Why Are You Shivering?

Yu Wanrou chuckled at her husband's words but remained quiet.

Meanwhile, Yin Zhao-an went along with Tang Zhengyang's words and said, "I know, right? If I were a boy, I'd definitely become Tang-Tang's boyfriend. It's a pity I failed to master the art of reincarnation."

Amused by Yin Zhao-an's words, Tang Zhengyang laughed and said, "You're getting better and better at pleasing people."

While Tang Zhengyang and Yin Zhao-an were busy bantering each other, Yu Wanrou fished out the lobster and set it aside on a plate. Then, she shooed Tang Zhengyang out of the kitchen, saying, "Shoo, shoo, shoo. Go upstairs and take a bath. I'm going to start cooking soon." After saying so, she turned to the two girls and continued, "You two head outside as well. Otherwise, the smell of oil and smoke is going to stick to your clothes."

After placing the washed vegetables on the kitchen counter, Tang Yu pulled the girl who was still trying to make a good impression out of the kitchen.

The noon news was being broadcast on the living room's TV, the host in a dark blue suit announcing a bankruptcy news piece.

"August 14, 20xx. Muto Insurance Company, one of the city's top 50 insurance companies, has declared bankruptcy. All shares held by its founder, Du Dabao, have been sold"

Muto? Tang Yu repeated the name in her mind as she grabbed one of the mandarins on the coffee table. However, before she could start peeling it, Yin Zhao-an suddenly snatched it out of her hand, peeled it, and held a slice up to her mouth.

Tang Yu did not accept Yin Zhao-an's offer to feed her. After rolling her eyes at the other party, she grabbed the mandarin slice and put it into her mouth herself. Recently, she found that Yin Zhao-an was becoming more and more shameless.

Yin Zhao-an had evidently also seen the news as she nonchalantly said, "I heard my dad talking about this company. Du Yuqing's family owns it."

"Hm?" Tang Yu looked at Yin Zhao-an with interest, her eyes signaling for the other party to continue.

In response, Yin Zhao-an posed pretentiously and said, "Listen well. As everyone knows, Du Yuqing has left the country, right? From what I heard, it seems she has a powerful relative outside the country, and she used this relative's special relations to remove herself from the Du family's household registration."

"Why would she want to remove herself from her household registration?" Tang Yu was confused.

Leaning into Tang Yu's ear, Yin Zhao-an whispered, "Because, she is still underage and cannot independently own assets."

When Yin Zhao-an saw that Tang Yu still wore a confused look, she decided to stop moving in circles and said, "She wants to start her own company, and she wants the company to be under her name. Simply put, she wants to sever her ties with the Du family."

"Is the family conflict in Du Yuqing's household that serious?" Tang Yu asked.

Yin Zhao-an scratched her head at Tang Yu's question, not expecting her Tang-Tang to be so interested in this topic. Seeing this, she decided to share all the information she knew. "I heard from a few friends that Du Yuqing's father has quite the chaotic private life Or, I should say that both of her parents have incredibly messy private lives. Du Yuqing even caught them in the act many times. Maybe that's why she wants to sever her ties with them."

"So, she's a child who lacks parental love," Tang Yu concluded.

"I think so, too!" Yin Zhao-an agreed.

"So, the reason the Du family went bankrupt is because"

Yin Zhao-an hurriedly covered Tang Yu's mouth with her hands before Tang Yu could finish her sentence. Then, she said, "I never said such a thing. Don't be so quick to jump to conclusions."

Tang Yu nodded to express her understanding.

Seeing this, Yin Zhao-an removed her hands and continued, "Honestly, I'm finding all this quite unbelievable. How can she even know how to run a company at such a young age? She even managed to run it so successfully."

"It's probably because of her relative's power."

"What power are you two talking about?" Tang Zhengyang asked as he walked into the living room. At this time, Tang Zhengyang had already changed into a set of casual clothes. He had also shaved his scruffy chin clean. At first glance, he looked more like a man in his twenties than a man nearing his forties.

Because Tang Zhengyang had to go on missions often, he naturally didn't pay too much attention to his hairstyle, opting for a standard military cut. Paired with his muscular body, he looked very much like a pit bull. Even though he had quite a handsome face, the image he gave off was intimidating enough to make children cry.

In response to her father's question, Tang Yu pursed her lips and revealed a fake smile as she shook her head.

Noticing Tang Yu's response, Yin Zhao-an sat cross-legged on the sofa and said, "It's nothing, Uncle Tang. We were just talking about something random.

Tang Zhengyang didn't bother to pry deeper into the matter. Only, when he considered the mystery surrounding his daughter, he couldn't help but say, "If you two notice any strange organizations, be sure to inform me right away. We can't let these criminals run wild in our country."

Tang Yu subconsciously shuddered when she noticed her father's gaze locking onto her. Before she could offer a response, though, she felt a certain dog-type person pulling her into an embrace.

"Why are you shivering? We're in the middle of summer. Is the air conditioner turned on too high?" Yin Zhao-an asked as she wrapped her arms around Tang Yu and rubbed her chin against Tang Yu's crown. However, despite her words, she showed zero intentions of wanting to lower the air conditioner's setting.

Tang Yu initially tried to struggle out of Yin Zhao-an's embrace. Unfortunately, Yin Zhao-an's long arms and legs were too strong for her to overcome. So, she eventually gave up and looked up, asking in a huff, "What are you doing?"

Tang Yu's eyes were rounded when she looked up, her dark pupils reflecting Yin Zhao-an's face. Her face still had some baby fat. Paired with her dense eyelashes, she gave off a cute and innocent appearance.

When Yin Zhao-an looked down to meet Tang Yu's gaze and saw this lovable sight, a familiar throbbing appeared again in her heart. It felt as if a voice was calling her, telling her not to lose the person in front of her.

When Yin Zhao-an thought of the person before her disappearing, she felt as if someone was twisting a blade in her heart. Immediately, a grief-stricken expression appeared on her face, and she subconsciously furrowed her brows as confusion filled her eyes.

Tang Yu could see all of the changes in Yin Zhao-an's expression. However, before she could figure out what was going on in Yin Zhao-an's mind, the face that was originally already quite close to hers started getting closer and closer, so close that the tips of their noses were about to touch...
