Then, Elder Yu changed the subject, "Mianmian, it’s great that you’re interested in making clothes, but remember not to put the cart before the horse. At your age, the most important thing is still to attend school and study, you know? Don’t let your interests delay your education."
"Mhm, I understand, Grandpa Yu. Don’t worry, once school starts again, I will focus on my studies." Jiang Mianmian nodded obediently in agreement.
Elder Yu stayed in the room for a while and then went out. After dinner that evening, as he sat beside the sofa wearing his reading glasses and looking at the day’s newspaper, the telephone next to the sofa happened to ring at that moment.
"Hello, who may I ask is calling?" Elder Yu asked indifferently.
"Dad, it’s me, Huaxun," Yue Huaxun’s voice came through.
"Oh, Huaxun, what’s the matter?"
"Dad, Mianmian has been in the Capital City for quite some time now and hasn’t been over for a meal. I was thinking that’s not very proper of us. I’ll have Yanyu prepare something tomorrow, so you bring the two kids over for a simple meal. It would also be a good opportunity to celebrate Ruixuan’s first place in the English competition."
After all, Jiang Mianmian was nothing less than Yu Cheng’s lifesaver. As parents, they couldn’t just let her visit the Capital City without showing some kind of appreciation.
"Hmm, alright, we’ll be there tomorrow."
After hanging up the phone, Elder Yu told the two children about it. Although Yu Cheng didn’t want to see Zhou Yanyu and her son, he wouldn’t defy his grandfather over such a trivial matter.
Jiang Mianmian, on the other hand, was quite excited, "I still don’t know what Brother Yu’s home looks like. This is a good chance to see it."
"Alright, then we’ll go over and have a look tomorrow." Elder Yu was happy to see Jiang Mianmian being so sensible.
The next afternoon, after finishing up with work, Elder Yu went home and took Yu Cheng and Jiang Mianmian to Yu Huaxun’s house.
Yu Huaxun’s home was not far from the military district’s compound. They lived in a traditional tube-shaped building, but the apartment was quite spacious and well decorated on the inside.
"Dad, you’re here," Yu Huaxun greeted them at the door, having spotted the car parking downstairs from his window and had been waiting at the doorway.
"Hello, Uncle," Yu Cheng and Jiang Mianmian greeted.
"Ah, good, good, come inside." Yu Huaxun, walking behind Elder Yu and leading the way, while Yu Ruixuan trailed behind, his eyes unfriendly as he watched Jiang Mianmian and Yu Cheng.
As usual, Yu Cheng ignored him as if he were thin air, "Little Lamb, didn’t you want to see my room? Come on, I’ll take you to see it."
Following Yu Cheng, Jiang Mianmian noticed that his room was quite large, well-lit, and had a good orientation.
Jiang Mianmian’s previous image of Yu Cheng being a pitiful little thing oppressed by his stepmother immediately shattered. Hmm, it seems like Brother Yu wasn’t living too bad after all.
The first thing Jiang Mianmian saw was the shelf full of comic books Yu Cheng had mentioned before, along with soccer and basketballs, and various fitness equipment. There was also a punching bag and boxing gloves in the room.
Although there were many things in the room, it was very neat and clean, with a faint scent of freshness, not at all messy like other boys’ rooms.
On Yu Cheng’s desk, there were several Transformers, remote control cars, Lego models, and even action figures of Superman and Iron Man.
Jiang Mianmian was shocked; she hadn’t expected that Yu Cheng would have so many high-end toys and collectible action figures at this time.
She had been somewhat of an action figure enthusiast in her past life, and she remembered that these particular Iron Man and Superman figures were out of production!
Thus, Jiang Mianmian was instantly envious, "Wow, Brother Yu, you’re so lucky to have all these models. I’m really jealous of you."
