"Son, do you remember the birthday present I gave your mother two years ago?"

Hearing Zhang Yu say this, Zhang's father could no longer hide it. The threat about the secret stash of money was just a joke, but now that Zhang Yu was saying this, he meant it. However, there were some things he couldn't say directly.

"A birthday present? The one I got when I started attending school? You mean that cosmetics company?"

Zhang Yu thought for a moment and remembered that after he got his college entrance exam results, he discovered Love Apartment and wanted to study in Shanghai. His mother wanted to come with him, since Zhang Yu had been with them since he was a child, and she would naturally worry about him going so far away.

Especially when they learned that Zhang Yu was planning to rent a place to live on his own, they wanted to come along no matter what. In the end, it was only because Zhang's father took advantage of Zhang's mother's birthday to join a cosmetics company and let Zhang's mother manage it that Zhang's mother did not come.

"That's right, it's that cosmetics company. They sent a beauty consultant to oversee the company, and that beauty consultant and your mom have become best friends."

When Mr. Zhang talked about the cosmetics company, he sounded resentful and regretful. Then he explained what had happened. He said he had only thought that he could keep Mrs. Zhang occupied and distract her, but her attention was indeed diverted.

The problem was that the beauty consultant sent from headquarters was very capable. With her in charge, the company's reputation soared in no time. As a result, Zhang Ma and she became best friends.

Especially since Zhang Yu has been studying away from home for over a year and hasn't come home during holidays, Zhang's mother has become even more focused on her career and her relationship with her best friend has grown even stronger, to the point that she has almost completely ignored Zhang's father.

It's almost Zhang's parents' wedding anniversary, and Zhang's father prepared a surprise for Zhang's mother, wanting to take her out for fun. However, perhaps because of work or because she was having too much fun with her girlfriends, Zhang's mother forgot about their wedding anniversary.

Moreover, during the candlelight dinner two days ago, Zhang's father mentioned taking her out to play, but Zhang's mother said she had to accompany her best friend, which made Zhang's father even more irritable. Just then, Zhang's uncle called, and the two grown men poured out their troubles to each other.

Then came the arrangement for Zhang Yu to meet Uncle Zhang's daughter on a blind date. They didn't expect the two to succeed; they just wanted to find an excuse so that Uncle Zhang could solve the problem and Zhang's father could get the beauty consultant to leave for a while.

"So you took advantage of her agreement, bought her a plane ticket overnight, and have her fly over, and then you want me to pick her up first thing tomorrow morning? So I'm just a tool, solving both your problem with the beauty consultant and Uncle Zhang's problem. By the way, what's Uncle Zhang's problem?"

Zhang Yu was speechless. He originally thought he was the protagonist, but he found out that he was just a tool. However, Zhang Yu was curious about what Uncle Zhang's problem was. Why did he have to involve his daughter? Could it be that his daughter was preventing him and his wife from celebrating their wedding anniversary?

"What are you saying? Double your allowance. You can ask your Uncle Zhang about his problem yourself tomorrow. Alright, that's all."

Mr. Zhang spoke mysteriously, then hung up before Zhang Yu could reply. He didn't reveal anything about Uncle Zhang's problem, which seemed quite serious. But I don't have a car; how am I going to pick him up from the airport tomorrow?

After thinking about it, it seems that only Teacher Zeng has a car in the apartment (let's just ignore Zhang Wei's). I'll pass on that idea. Besides, I haven't taken my driver's test yet. I'd better go back and find Guan Gu's dad's contact information for Youyou first.

The next day, Zhang Yu gave Youyou the contact information of Guan Gu's father with a resentful look, then turned around and left without saying a word to Youyou. Youyou finally breathed a sigh of relief as she watched Zhang Yu leave.

"Who has offended Zhang Yu? He's terrifying. His aura is almost as strong as Yi Fei's. No wonder he's Yi Fei's student."

Youyou didn't know that Zhang Yu's resentment wasn't just because of his morning grumpiness, but more importantly because of his father. The airport pick-up time and location his father sent to Zhang Yu was the East City Airport, which was the furthest from Love Apartment, forcing him to arrive two hours early. No wonder he was so resentful.

When Zhang Yu arrived at the airport, looking at the bustling crowd, his resentment intensified because his father hadn't given him the consultant's name and photo. Zhang Yu asked him how he could pick someone up without any information.

Zhang's father even argued that he was afraid Zhang Yu wouldn't pick him up at the airport himself, so he gave Zhang Yu's photo and phone number to the consultant. This was also why Zhang Yu came so early, afraid that by the time he arrived, the other party would have already left, adding to his resentment.

"When I get back, I'm going to take all your secret stash of money, leaving you nothing."

Zhang's father, who was far away in Guangdong, was happily preparing to board the plane with Zhang's mother after seeing off the consultant. Suddenly, he felt a chill and had a bad feeling, as if he had offended someone.

"You must be Zhang Yu."

Just as Zhang Yu closed his eyes to catch up on sleep, a gentle voice rang out in front of him. Hearing a somewhat familiar voice, Zhang Yu's resentment dissipated a little. When he opened his eyes, he saw the sophisticated urban woman standing in front of him, and he was somewhat surprised that it was her.

"Hello, I'm your mom's best friend, Qin Yumo."

That's right, the person standing in front of Zhang Yu was Qin Yumo. Only then did Zhang Yu realize that the beauty consultant his father had mentioned, the one he had visited two years ago, had all come together.

"Wake up... Xiao Yu."

Yu Mo looked at Zhang Yu, who was in a daze, and her face flushed slightly. She was confident in her appearance. Although she was over thirty, her charm was even more attractive. People often stared at her like Zhang Yu. Although Zhang Yu was also handsome and her type, he was her best friend's son. How could she let him be like that?

"Oh, I'm sorry, Sister Yumo, I didn't sleep well this morning and I can't concentrate. Let's go first."

Zhang Yu reacted to Yu Mo's call, and seeing her blushing face, his heart fluttered slightly. He then turned around, grabbed Yu Mo's luggage, and left first. Yu Mo, seeing Zhang Yu's embarrassed expression, covered her mouth and chuckled, then quickly followed him.

"Sister Yumo, I'm sorry, my dad made you fly here so early. You must not have gotten any rest. I'll take you there later..."

Zhang Yu put his luggage away, got into the passenger seat, turned around and saw that Yu Mo looked tired. He decided to take her to her apartment to rest first, and he would go on his blind date in the afternoon. He didn't want to trouble her, since it was just a formality anyway.

"Oh no, I have a place to live in Shanghai, and I'm your mother's best friend, so you should call me 'Auntie' according to seniority."

Upon hearing Zhang Yu's words, before he could finish speaking, Yu Mo immediately rejected his suggestion and then scolded him with a stern face. Zhang Yu looked at Yu Mo's flushed cheeks and knew that she had misunderstood.

Seeing the driver standing nearby, pretending to be watching the road but actually eager to hear gossip, Zhang Yu knew that if he didn't explain clearly, the taxi drivers in Shanghai would have something new to talk about.

"Sister Yumo, I know, Love Apartment. I've seen your photos at Sister Yifei and Brother Ziqiao's place. By the way, I'm Sister Yifei's student."

Zhang Yu explained to Yu Mo, but what Zhang Yu didn't know was that while he thought he had explained things clearly, the driver beside him became even more excited. "Mom's best friend, teacher and student, roommate..." The driver had already used these keywords to conjure up a whole R-rated adult film in his mind.

"Do you know Yifei and Ziqiao? I wanted to surprise them, so I didn't tell them I was coming."

Upon hearing Zhang Yu's explanation, Yu Mo's sense of taboo dissipated, replaced by excitement. Looking at Zhang Yu, she marveled at how small the world was, how she could run into an acquaintance like this.
