Chapter 53: Brothers’ Dispute

Hearing the executive director say this, the associate director asked hesitantly, “Then are we still changing the rules? Are we just going to let them brazenly scrounge off from their two brothers?”

The executive director waved his hand. Of course he had to change the rules. “Otherwise, if the two of them can safely survive these few days of filming just by freeloading, then what would the meaning of our show be?”

The associate director nodded in understanding. He gestured an OK sign to the executive director and said, “I understand. I’ll change the rules overnight to prevent such incidents from happening again.”

While the production team was changing the rules overnight, Yu Jue had seated Yu Yao at Yu Heng’s dining table.

Yu Heng was a very cold person. He did not like others invading his territory, so as long as he could cook or clean himself, he would not let the housekeeping auntie come.

Yu Heng thought that in order to film the show, Yu Jue would be eating with Yu Yao, and Yu Lang would be working overtime at the office, so he only pan-seared a simple steak for his dinner.

Unexpectedly, the door to the apartment was pushed open just as the steak was placed on the plate.

Yu Jue went straight to the kitchen. Looking at the steak that had just been loaded onto a plate, he turned happily to Yu Yao and said, “Yaoyao, we were right to come and look for Second Brother. He used the highest grade beef to make steak today!”

“Yu Jue? Why are you guys here?”

Before Yu Heng could react, the plate in his hand was snatched away by Yu Jue. He was about to teach this younger brother who had no regard for his elders a lesson when he saw Yu Jue holding the plate in front of Yu Yao like a dog that was fawning over its owner.

“Yaoyao, aren’t you hungry? Eat this steak first. Second Brother and I will go cook two more portions.”

The steak in front of her was indeed very tempting, and Yu Yao was indeed hungry, but she was also embarrassed to be as overboard as Yu Jue and directly snatch away the dinner that someone else was preparing to eat.

She smiled shyly at Yu Heng. “Second Brother, we forgot to buy groceries. Do you mind if we freeload off of you?”

The words “Second Brother” seemed to have struck directly on Yu Heng’s chest, shaking his entire heart until it was unbearably sore.

The strong and complex emotions in his chest made it impossible for Yu Heng to maintain his usual composure. He was almost incoherent as he said, “It’s okay, Yaoyao. Hurry up and eat. I’ll make two more servings. It’ll be quick.”

“Thank you, Second Brother!” Yu Yao happily carried away the steak and smiled brightly at Yu Heng.

Her smile was so pure and without any trace of darkness.

Yu Heng stood at the kitchen door in a daze for a long time.

Yu Jue seemed to understand Yu Heng’s complex emotions. He hugged him and patted him lightly on the shoulder, silently comforting him.

After a long while, Yu Heng asked softly, “Did you see that? Yaoyao was smiling so happily.”

Yu Jue nodded. “Of course I saw it. Isn’t that what we’ve been pursuing?”

Then, they also smiled with satisfaction. That’s right. Wasn’t their dream precisely for Yu Yao to be free of worries and face life with a smile?

The steak was ready very quickly, and the three of them sat around the dining table to eat. There were no rules about not speaking while eating.

When Yu Heng heard Yu Jue talk about what had happened during the filming of the variety show, he finally understood why they had come to his house to freeload.

After hearing Yu Jue’s recount of his unreliable performance, Yu Heng looked at him with disapproval. “Yu Jue, you are Yaoyao’s brother. You should have taken care of her more during the filming of the show, but you didn’t do it at all.”

Yu Yao added, “Forget it. It’s already good enough that Yu Jue isn’t a burden to me. Do you really expect him to take care of me?”

Yu Heng sighed helplessly. “Yaoyao, Yu Jue has been spoiled by Dad, Mom, and Eldest Brother in the past. He doesn’t have any experience in taking care of people. If he makes you suffer during the filming process, don’t just bear with it. If anything happens during the show that you can’t solve, just look for me and Eldest Brother. We’ll help.”

“Wow, Yu Heng. So you’re defaming my image in front of Yaoyao.” Not only did Yu Jue not appreciate Yu Heng’s kindness, he even rolled up his sleeves and glared at him angrily.

“I knew you never liked me. Are you jealous of me? Because I’m Yaoyao’s favorite brother!”

Yu Yao almost choked on her steak and swallowed it with difficulty.

Before Yu Yao could ask Yu Jue how he had come to such an absurd conclusion, Yu Heng had already expressed his displeasure.

“Yu Jue, when can you change your habit of being overly confident?” Yu Heng wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin in a reserved manner. His actions and mannerisms looked extremely mocking. “If you hadn’t been so shameless as to pester Yaoyao all the time, would she have paid attention to you at all?”

Yu Jue’s face instantly darkened, but Yu Heng still didn’t stop firing.

He chuckled lightly. “I don’t know if you’re Yaoyao’s favorite brother, but I’m sure that you’re definitely the brother that she finds the most annoying.”
