Desperate Situation

Behind him stood two girls, one was in her early twenties while the other was in her late teens. They were his two daughters, Yu Jia and Yu Qian.

Hearing his words, the two of them looked at Yu Yu with undisguisable mockery in their eyes. They replied in unison, “Yes, Dad.”

With that, the two of them followed him.

Yu Feng’s wife had passed away two years ago due to an illness and he had not remarried since.

At the moment, the family of three had gathered together and planned to head to the hospital to pick Grandpa Yu up.

Yu Ming and his wife had not been at the old residence these few days, so they were not with them.

The conflict between the two sides had almost come completely to the surface, and no one was willing to look at the other.

As for Yu Yu…

Now that Yu Media had been reduced to such a state by her, she no longer had any status within the Yu family at all.

Seeing that they were about to leave, Yu Yu pursed her lips.

“Second Uncle, I haven’t visited Grandpa in a long time. Why don’t I go with you?”

Only then did Yu Feng stop and he turned to look at her as if he had heard a joke.

“What did you just say?”

Yu Yu clenched her fists and said, “I said–”

“Yu Yu,” Yu Feng interrupted her. “I don’t think I need to remind you how much Yu Media has lost this time, do I? The old master’s health has finally improved. Don’t you think it’s inappropriate for you to go over there now?”

Yu Yu choked.

“Furthermore, even if you wanted to go, it seems more appropriate for you to accompany my big brother and his family.”

Yu Feng snorted.

“All these years, haven’t you been very close to my eldest brother and eldest sister-in-law?”

The butler, servants, and chauffeur were all standing in the courtyard, and they all looked at Yu Yu with different expressions on their faces.

Who in the Yu family did not know that Yu Yu had already fallen out with the eldest branch of the family?

Yu Ming had personally gone to the headquarters of Yu Media to give Yu Yu a slap and had ordered her to resign from the Board of Directors.

With such an ugly scene, how could Yu Yu continue to maintain her relationship with the first branch?

Yu Feng’s words were clearly mocking her.

The surrounding gazes made Yu Yu feel as if there were daggers on her back, but she really had no other choice now.

Yu Ming had given her three days to resign, and today was the last day.

She could not leave Yu Media, or she would really be left with no cards left in her hands.

The old master was being discharged today, so she had to seize the opportunity.

Even though she knew that the chances were slim, she had to try no matter what!

“Lil Yu, it’s not that we don’t want to bring you along, but… Grandpa is being discharged from the hospital today. Why are you in a hurry to remind Grandpa of those unhappy things?” Yu Jia said helplessly.

However, every word and sentence was like a knife stabbing into Yu Yu’s heart.

Among the younger generation of the Yu family, Yu Cheng had been the one who had been doted on the most because he was the eldest grandson of the Yu family. Among the remaining girls, Yu Yu had been the one who was treated the best and most valued.

Yu Jia was older than her by a year and was the eldest daughter of the Yu family. However, since she was young, she had never been better than Yu Yu in both her studies and work.

Although Old Master Yu valued males over females, it was not as if he did not look at ability. After all, if his grandchildren were outstanding, he would also have been proud.

Firstly, Yu Yu had lost her father when she was young, and secondly, she had been performing well in all aspects over the years, so Old Master Yu had still cared about her.

Otherwise, she would not have been able to become the General Manager of Yu Media at this age.

Yu Jia had been jealous of Yu Yu for many years. Now that Yu Yu’s fortunes had finally turned, of course, she was happy.

Yu Yu gritted his teeth, her nails digging into the palms of her hands.

“… I just miss Grandpa…”

“If you still have a little bit of filial piety, you should know that it’s best not to see the old man for a while. Let him recover first.”

Yu Feng impatiently interrupted her,

“What Yu Cheng did was already enough to make the old man uncomfortable. Now, you’ve been added to the mix. How do you think it looks like? ”

Yu Yu felt as if there was a fire burning in her chest, almost about to burst out!

He was comparing her to Yu Cheng?

She had made a mistake in her decision-making and caused problems in Yu Media, but surely, it was still different from Yu Cheng’s, right?

He was lumping them both together just like that?

After Yu Feng finished speaking, he could not be bothered to pay her any more attention. He turned around and led Yu Jia and her sister into the car.

The car drove away quickly.

Only Yu Yu, the butler, and the servants were left in the courtyard.

The atmosphere was tense.

Yu Yu took a deep breath.

Since she was not allowed to go, she would just wait here!

As she thought about this, she turned around and walked into the villa.

The butler stepped forward.

“Second Miss, what Second Master meant just now was that you should leave…”

Yu Yu glanced at him with cold steely eyes.

“It seems that you’ve forgotten that I’m the second miss of the Yu family. What… do I not even have the right to enter this place?”

The butler hesitated for a moment before finally leaving.

Yu Yu withdrew her gaze and walked inside.

…

After Shen Li finished her first class that morning, she carried her backpack and went to the physics department’s laboratory building.

On campus, the leaves of the parasol trees on both sides of the road had already turned yellow. When the breeze blew, they began to fall.

The lotus leaves in the green lotus lake had completely withered, leaving only withered branches.

As she was walking, her phone suddenly rang.

It was Zhao Xuan.

She picked it up.

“Hello,” he said.

“President Shen, I’ve found the girl you asked me to investigate.”

Shen Li stopped in her tracks.

“Go ahead.”

Zhao Xuan said, ” The girl’s name is Tian Zhenzhen. She’s a freshman at the Capital Normal University. Her family is not in very good condition. Her father has diabetes and takes medicine all year round. Her mother is unemployed. Two months ago, she had an accident and she fractured her calf. She has been recuperating at home. So when Tian Zhenzhen went to college, she started to work part-time outside to earn money to support her family but she got into trouble on her first day of work.”

“Xiang Yao often goes to VK Bar, so it’s probably not the first time he’s done something like this, but this time–”

“VK Bar?”

Shen Li’s eyes narrowed.

“That bar is in the east of the city, and the Capital Normal University is in the West. Even if we were to take a taxi, it would take at least an hour for a one-way trip, right? ”

Zhao Xuan was stunned.

This… seemed like… it really was?

“Could it be that… she was too embarrassed to let her classmates know about it, so she had deliberately found a bar further away?”

Even as Zhao Xuan asked this question, he felt that the possibility was too small.

Shen Li thought for a moment and said, “Go and ask who the lawyer in charge of Xiang Yao’s case is.”
