Chapter 356: The Future Brother-in-Law Still Has to Keep Working Hard
[Is this goodbye already?]
[I’m going to miss it so much!]
[The rivalry between the two assistants was hilarious, Youbao wants more next time!]
...
"Thanks for the love, babies! For those just tuning in, don’t forget to follow. That’s the end of today’s livestream. See you next time!"
Finally, it’s over!
Chi Youyou wanted to end the livestream as quickly as possible for the first time.
"I can handle this myself."
"How could I trouble you with such a thing?"
...
Hearing the conversation behind her, Chi Youyou shook her head helplessly.
No wonder they say opposites attract and same sexes repel.
She already regretted her previous thoughts; when these two met, it wasn’t just sparks—
It was a full-blown meteor crashing into the earth!
But the livestream’s response was unexpectedly fantastic.
Looking at the livestream data, one session like this was more than enough!
The week-long vacation ended, wrapping up with a livestream.
"Miss Chi, sorry for all the trouble this time. If you need help in the future, feel free to ask. The Gu Family will do their utmost."
On the return trip, Gu Sinan wasn’t immature enough to crowd into the same car with them and left separately with Gu Xintang, saying they had other matters to attend to.
"What’s wrong? Now that they’ve gone, you’re unhappy?"
After saying goodbye to the villagers of Phoenix Mountain, Chi Youyou remained silent on the way. Song Shiyu glanced at her, his tone slightly sour, "If you can’t bear it, you could have gone back with them."
"Can’t bear what?"
Chi Youyou withdrew her gaze, wondering what was up with this man.
"I was just thinking about everything that happened over the past few days. In just a few days, the whole village has transformed dramatically."
Song Shiyu was indeed only joking earlier; seeing her gloomy, he knew it was because of the village’s changes.
"Life is full of changes. Anyway, things are resolved now. Once back in the Imperial City, focus on your studies, livestreams, and playing my fiancée."
"Got it, big boss!"
Chi Youyou pursed her lips; really, the evil capitalist never misses a chance to make her his slave.
The car sped on the highway. Chi Zaozao sat alone in the back seat, catching a glimpse of Song Shiyu’s concerned eyes in the rearview mirror. It seems that Chi Youyou’s springtime really is approaching.
He looked at his phone, which had a lot of notes:
1. First impression, Song Shiyu’s haughty attitude, -10
2. Song Shiyu domineeringly protected Chi Youyou, driving away Fang Yifei, +10
...
6. Song Shiyu’s high EQ and IQ helped Chi Youyou solve issues, +10
7. Song Shiyu shielded Chi Youyou from a flying water bottle, +10
...
He quickly added another: Song Shiyu helped Phoenix Village overcome difficulties for Chi Youyou, +20.
So far, adding all the data together, the score clearly surpassed 100!
In other words, he’s very suitable to be his future brother-in-law!
Better keep observing.
Song Shiyu knew the little kid was sneakily watching him. Although he didn’t know what he was doing, he didn’t mind.
He slightly pressed down on the gas pedal, increasing the speed while recalling his conversation with Jiang An earlier that morning.
"Sir, Gou Dan’s death indeed had issues, but since the drug residue in his body was minimal, it was overlooked by the forensic experts."
"Hmm, who did he contact before meeting Liao Lei?"
"There was a call, but the number was fake. I decrypted it somewhat and found a clue—the IP is from the Imperial City."
"The Imperial City?"
He raised an eyebrow, and then heard Jiang An continue, "But this lead is a dead end. However, regarding the batch of chicks you previously asked me to investigate, they disappeared after reaching the Imperial City."
Again, the Imperial City?
"It seems the Imperial City still has places we can’t reach."
"Don’t worry, sir; I’m investigating this secretly as well."
"Hmm, don’t be careless. We can’t alert anyone."
He suddenly became more curious about this matter, yet his intuition told him that these events were tied to the Chi Family.
The car left the highway, Chi Youyou and Chi Zaozao both had their eyes closed, sleeping. Song Shiyu’s gaze fell on her again.
He actually had a question in his heart all along.
What’s the Chi Family parents’ stance on this?
Since Chi Youyou came to the Imperial City and started livestreaming, even though she never revealed her identity, it wouldn’t take long before someone found out.
It’s actually easy to investigate if one really wanted to.
So when Chi Youyou revealed her family matters, Mr. and Mrs. Chi did not intervene. They might have anticipated this would happen.
I just don’t know whether they purposely used Chi Youyou as bait or simply predicted such things would occur, thus letting Chi Youyou act freely.
"Are we there yet?"
"Still 10 minutes."
A slight bump caused Chi Youyou’s body to gently sway. She groggily woke up and looked outside into the darkness.
Upon hearing Song Shiyu’s voice, she closed her eyes again.
Truly a little girl.
Seeing this, Song Shiyu chuckled softly, and a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.
It seems the Chi Family parents were setting up the game from the start!
And they also lured him into it!
He always considered his own parents to be carefree, unwilling to deal with messy situations, but perhaps he was overthinking.
The Chi Family parents indeed played a masterful game, and he unknowingly walked right into it.
Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but laugh.
He had always thought Chi Youyou’s appearance was inexplicable, but now, knowing the reason, he no longer wanted to back out.
The Chi Family parents were really daring; what if he never harbored any feelings for her?
Or maybe...
They simply wanted to use the Song Family’s reputation to protect the two of them.
Upon hearing Chi Youyou’s voice, Chi Zaozao also woke up.
Through the rearview mirror, he could see Song Shiyu’s expressions changing constantly.
He rubbed his big eyes, not fully understanding.
He just had a not-so-great dream. Pulling out his phone, he found his mom’s WeChat and asked when they would return.
But a while later, there was still no reply.
M Country.
"Are you okay!"
A car screeched to a halt on the street corner, with consecutive car crashes up ahead. Luckily, Mrs. Chi felt a sudden stomachache and wanted the car to turn around towards the mall, otherwise they would have crashed!
"I’m fine, how about you? But it looks like we’ll miss today’s flight."
"I’m fine too. We can leave tomorrow... Five-car collision up ahead!"
Just then, Mrs. Chi’s phone rang. After hanging up, she breathed a sigh of relief, "Big brother says there’s no hurry. Xiao Jin is heading to our country for a reality show, and will bring Youyou and Zaozao back then."
