After filling in the home address, Jin Qiao took Yu Siyi along to raid the rest of the stores.
Such an adorable child needed to be dressed up plenty at this age. Once he grew older and developed his own opinions, she wouldn’t be able to control his wardrobe anymore.
Buy buy buy!
This outfit looks handsome! Buy it!
This one is so cute on him! Buy it too!
Little Yu Siyi ended up changing clothes over and over in an endless cycle.
By the time they were finally done, it was already eight at night. Yu Siyi lay in Jin Qiao’s arms, yawning nonstop.
The entire shopping trip had completely exhausted him.
After calling the driver, Jin Qiao walked toward the mall exit while gently patting Yu Siyi’s back.
The two of them leaned against each other and slept the entire ride home.
Once they arrived, Jin Qiao carefully unbuckled the child safety seat and gently carried Yu Siyi toward his room.
Aunt Wu had been worried all afternoon. Only after seeing that the young master was perfectly fine—and even sleeping soundly in Madam’s arms—did she finally relax.
After placing Yu Siyi onto the bed, Aunt Wu entered with a damp towel.
“Madam, let me do it.”
Jin Qiao nodded. Seeing the child hugging his blanket and sleeping blissfully, she yawned herself and returned to her own room.
After taking a beautiful hot shower, she happily curled up under the blankets and started scrolling through her phone.
Meanwhile, Yu An was still hard at work in the company.
After coming out of a meeting, he discovered his phone was flooded with notifications.
As he checked them, aside from Jin Qiao’s spending records, he was surprised to find that Yu Siyi had also used his card—and spent a huge amount.
Then Aunt Wu sent another message saying both Madam and the young master had returned safely and were already asleep.
Yu An couldn’t help becoming curious.
What exactly was Jin Qiao trying to do?
The next morning, all the purchases from yesterday’s shopping spree had already been delivered to the house. Aunt Wu had people temporarily place everything in the living room.
By the time Jin Qiao woke up, it was nearly noon.
She simply couldn’t fix her terrible habit of staying up late.
Last night she’d stumbled across an addictive novel and couldn’t bear to stop reading.
When she entered the living room, she found Yu Siyi already sitting there, playing with one of the educational toys she had bought him yesterday.
He solved it in a flash.
Jin Qiao barely even had time to react before he finished.
Seeing all the delivered items piled in the living room, Jin Qiao enthusiastically began organizing them, thoroughly enjoying the process of sorting her purchases.
“Aunt Wu, these clothes were picked out for me by Sisi! Aren’t they pretty?”
Unable to resist showing off, Jin Qiao proudly displayed the outfits.
Before Aunt Wu could react, Yu Siyi’s face had already turned bright red.
Still, he secretly looked toward Aunt Wu, his eyes filled with anticipation for her opinion.
That scene made Aunt Wu completely believe Madam had truly changed.
And the relationship between Madam and the young master had clearly improved too.
She genuinely felt happy for the little boy.
“They’re beautiful. The young master has excellent taste.”
“You have no idea how adorable he looked pulling out the card to pay yesterday!”
As she spoke, Jin Qiao reached out and pinched Yu Siyi’s little cheeks again.
Yu Siyi was so happy that a huge smile spread across his face.
After fooling around in the living room for a while, the two of them finished eating and curled up together on the sofa to watch TV dramas.
That’s right.
Yu Siyi yawned repeatedly while accompanying his mother in watching completely brainless soap operas.
“Why won’t you let me in?! I’m the young master’s teacher!”
A noisy voice suddenly came from outside.
The voice sounded somewhat familiar.
Yu Siyi, sitting beside Jin Qiao, immediately knew who it was.
This person is so annoying.
She’s interrupting my time with Mom.
“Aunt Wu, who is it?”
Aunt Wu had already gone out after hearing the commotion. When she returned, Jin Qiao asked,
“It’s Miss Lin Yu. I informed her yesterday that she doesn’t need to come anymore, but she keeps insisting that Young Master hired her, and that I have no authority to dismiss her.”
Aunt Wu’s expression wasn’t pleasant either. She clearly had no patience for troublesome people like this.
“Let her come in. If there’s something to discuss, we’ll talk face-to-face. What’s the point of shouting outside?”
Soon, Lin Yu entered the living room.
The moment she stepped in, the gloomy look on her face instantly transformed into a fake smile as she looked toward Yu Siyi on the sofa.
“Good afternoon, little Siyi.”
Yu Siyi ignored her completely and buried his head back into Jin Qiao’s arms.
“Miss Lin, do you have some objection to my notice yesterday?”
Seeing that Yu Siyi ignored her, Lin Yu silently cursed him inwardly.
This mute child is so annoying. I treated him so well before, yet he can’t even say a few good words for me.
“Mrs. Yu, Young Master Yu personally hired me. If you want to dismiss me, shouldn’t you at least get Young Master Yu’s approval?”
Inside, she felt smug.
A Mrs. Yu with no real authority was just a decorative title. In the end, didn’t every decision still depend on Young Master Yu?
Jin Qiao waved her hand dismissively and said to Aunt Wu,
“Then call Yu An and ask him directly. Tell him I’m firing a teacher and ask whether he has any objections.”
She refused to believe that she didn’t even have the authority to dismiss someone.
If that were the case, then being this wealthy family’s madam was far too suffocating.
Nobody was going to make her swallow grievances silently. 【smiling emoji】
Aunt Wu nodded and dialed Yu An’s number.
Soon, the man’s deep voice came through the phone.
“What is it?”
“Young Master, it’s like this. Madam wants to dismiss Miss Lin Yu, but Miss Lin Yu says you were the one who hired her, so Madam has no authority to fire her. Madam…”
Aunt Wu glanced at Jin Qiao, then at Lin Yu before continuing,
“Madam wants to ask what your opinion is. Can she dismiss her or not?”
Lin Yu waited eagerly for Yu An to狠狠 slap this so-called Mrs. Yu in the face.
But in the very next second, the man on the phone asked,
“What was Yu Siyi’s reaction?”
Hearing that response, Jin Qiao immediately wore an expression that clearly said I knew it as she looked at Lin Yu.
Lin Yu instantly turned toward Yu Siyi, threatening him with her gaze.
If she lost this opportunity, there would be no way for her to continue entering wealthy neighborhoods like this and meeting rich people in the future.
“Little Siyi, hasn’t teacher treated you well? Don’t you still need teacher to teach you? Think carefully—you’re still young. Teacher can forgive some mistakes, but you must correct them, okay? Otherwise teacher will get angry.”
Those words completely shocked Jin Qiao.
Where on earth had Yu An found such a bizarre person?
Her mouth was full of manipulative PUA-style nonsense.
Hearing her speak to her son that way, Jin Qiao could no longer sit still.
She let out a cold laugh and directly mocked her.
“Teacher Lin, I’m respectfully calling you ‘teacher’ right now, and this is how you provide psychological guidance to my son? So if our Yu Siyi doesn’t obey you, what exactly are you planning to do when you get angry? Besides, when dismissing you, we already paid everything owed to you and even included compensation. What exactly are you still dissatisfied with?”
Lin Yu acted as if she couldn’t hear Jin Qiao at all and stared fixedly at Yu Siyi.
Ignoring her gaze entirely, little Yu Siyi simply nodded toward Aunt Wu.
Having taken care of him for so long, Aunt Wu naturally understood his meaning immediately.
She quickly spoke into the phone.
“The young master says he agrees.”
Yu An respected Yu Siyi’s opinion greatly.
Since the child himself agreed, he had nothing further to say.
“Miss Lin, regarding the compensation and settlement for your dismissal, my assistant will discuss it with you.”
Lin Yu gritted her teeth in hatred.
What an ungrateful little brat!
Now that Yu An had spoken, she no longer had the face to remain there and turned to leave.
“I’ll arrange another psychological teacher for Yu Siyi,” Yu An said.
