Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Yu Minmin was pulled out of bed early in the morning to prepare to go back home.
Outside, the guards were already prepared. After changing, Yu Minmin looked down at her own clothes. She thought that it was too luxurious to always wear a new outfit each time she met the media and each outfit was specially customized.
After she was done, she stepped out to see that Gu Jingming was already waiting outside. He looked at Yu Minmin and reached out to pull her. “So slow.”
“Women are slow, to begin with. If you don’t like it, go find a man,” she retorted.
Gu Jingming’s eyes darkened as he glared at her.
Yu Minmin knew that he didn’t dare to do anything with the media around.
“Quick, look. The cameras are pointing at us. Smile a little. A stiff face is so scary.”
Sure enough, Gu Jingming could only lift his head up and look into the camera. He held Yu Minmin’s waist and went into the car together.
The entourage was driven all the way to the street in front of Glazed Tile Street.
All the eyes behind followed them.
The Glazed Tile Palace team was really attractive. Everyone on the road who saw them all turned their heads.
Naturally, when they were right in the city, they drew even more attention.
They stopped at the entrance of the small district, but the dingy district suddenly looked like brand new.
Those smelly ditches were gone and the street was no longer dirty. Yu Minmin wasn’t gone for very long, but this place already changed so much.
The inhabitants of the district crowded outside. The windows above were also full of people who looked at the president’s guards cordon off the surrounding area. The entourage stopped. Gu Jingming and Yu Minmin got out of the second car separately.
The guards quickly walked over and blocked off the horde behind. Gu Jingming and Yu Minmin walked towards the building while cameras continued following them behind. Yu Minmin smiled at the camera and waved. Gu Jingming saw this and immediately tugged her along as he walked in.
Inside the small district, Yu Minmin’s mother and brother were already waiting for them.
Her mother was still nervous. She quickly bowed and said, “h.e.l.lo, Mr. President.”
Her brother looked extremely excited.
Gu Jingming said, “Just call me Jingming.”
Her mother blushed and was too shy to say it out loud. This was Mr. President. How could she get accustomed to calling him by his name?
Gu Jingming said, “Over here. I am only your son-in-law.”
“Ah, ah, okay okay. Our home is a mess, seriously…” Mother Yu said.
Gu Jingming replied, “That’s alright.”
Under the protection of the guards, they finally went inside.
The neighbors were all pointing and staring. Yu Minmin didn’t look up. She finally closed the door and heaved a sigh of relief.
Gu Jingming called his staff to bring the gifts, “These are for both of you. Just a little token to show my respect.”
He gave Mother Yu a piece of jade. She was so happy as she held the gift. Looking at such an expensive thing, she didn’t quite dare to touch it.
For her brother, it was the latest game console. Her brother held it in amazement, “Wow! Isn’t this not out yet?”
Gu Jingming said, “It’s just a beta version.”
“Wow, Brother-in-law, you are too kind. Not just anybody can have the beta version.”
Yu Minmin glared at him. He used the term ‘brother-in-law’ so fluidly.
However, Gu Jingming seemed to give her a lot of face. He kept smiling politely and didn’t reveal that cold expression of his.
Mother Yu saw that Gu Jingming was so nice to them and didn’t treat them shabbily at all. She felt a lot more confident. After all, Minmin was so different from them and she married into their family. Mother Yu was naturally worried.
Now that Yu Minmin seemed fine, Mother Yu felt a lot more a.s.sured.
Lunch was bound to be had here. Mother Yu already prepared many dishes. At this point, she quickly said to Yu Minmin, “Go take Mr. President to your room to rest. I’m going to prepare the dishes.”
Yu Minmin agreed. Fearing that it would get too awkward to hang around here, she told him to go in.
Yu Minmin’s room was not big. After he went in, Yu Minmin went to help out in the kitchen.
Mother Yu asked, “What should I cook? What does Mr. President like to eat?”
Yu Minmin said, “Forget it. I don’t think he is picky. Anyway, he has to make do today.”
“How can he do that?”
“He has no choice. There are dozens of chefs in Glazed Tile Palace. Everything he eats is cooked with the freshest ingredients from the day itself. Every meal he eats in a week is different and every day is a table full of dishes. There’s no way we can produce that kind of food.”
“Dozens of chefs?” Mother Yu repeated in amazement. It looked like they really had to make do today.
Mother Yu said, “Seems like Mr. President is rather nice to you. It’ll be better in the future.”
“Yeah, I know.”
“You coming here today made everyone so happy. It’s their first time seeing Mr. President. It’s also my first time actually. They can’t possibly look down on us anymore. Mr. President personally came into our home. They can’t possibly think Mr. President looks down on us, right?”
“Yes yes.”
“You have no idea that because of Mr. President’s arrival, they started fixing the roads outside a few days before. They even especially helped us tidy up our rooms. They cleaned all our roads and dirty water outside. Our neighbors say that it was all thanks to you that they can now live in a clean place.”
“No wonder! I saw that the road looked different.”
“Yes, yes. They are dying with envy. I said our Minmin is very capable.”
Yu Minmin ate some cuc.u.mber as she laughed, thinking that maybe there wasn’t any loss in being Madam President after all.
After all, it allowed her family to live a better life.
Yu Minmin said that she was going to go back to her room while Mother Yu went out to buy some ingredients.
Outside, people looked at her and asked, “Is Mr. President in your home?”
“Yes,” Mother Yu beamed.
“Oh my, your Minmin is really useful now. I really couldn’t tell that she would become Madam President.”
“Our Minmin never made us worry since she was young.”
“All these people must be the president’s guards. This is so grand. We can only watch from the outside and can’t pa.s.s through. They even stopped us from going in, saying that only residents with identification can enter.”
“Really? That must have been troublesome for you guys.”
“There’s nothing we can do. Our little district has a Madam President now and we’re also affected.”
Mother Yu was so happy that there was a spring in her steps.
In the room, Yu Minmin entered and saw Gu Jingming holding a photo from her past.
On it was a girl with pigtails. She wore a school uniform and looked very pure. There were also many volleyball pictures in which her expressions were ugly and actions were exaggerated.
Yu Minmin blushed as she quickly went over to s.n.a.t.c.h them back.
“Gu Jingming, why are you going through my stuff?”
Gu Jingming put the photos down, sat on her bed, and looked around the tiny room.
“There are no secrets between you and me. Relax.”
This tyrannical, aloof b.a.s.t.a.r.d.
