The Cold, Aloof Dominatrix After Parasitically Entering a Rich Family - Chapter 47

Chapter 47: Local Specialty: Tu Si Completely Conquers [The Mother] With Her Powerful Digestive System

Tu Si felt dizzy, seeing stars. Gong Shayu’s voice entered her ears along with the plane’s landing announcement.

She didn’t know what going to school meant before, but in Yalugang, Ma Yi told her that school was like locking people in a cage called a school, where even going to the bathroom had to be done within a specific time. Crucially, she wouldn’t be able to watch TV.

For a Cuscuta spirit who ate five meals a day, whose entire spiritual sustenance was short dramas and variety shows, and who was increasingly fond of staying up late, this was practically murder.

She turned on her new phone and found that the contact information for Hu Die and the others was gone. Tu Si felt like the beautiful Afghan Hound on the skateboard right now.

When Gong Shayu was happy, she would stroke her fur and grant her little wishes.

But more often, she wouldn’t consider the “hound’s” feelings at all, and could even discard her without a second thought.

Gong Shayu’s plans for Tu Si had changed repeatedly. The initial one-year contract had morphed into a possibility of extension if Tu Si performed well and begged for it.

Judging by Tu Si’s reliance on her, it was highly likely to reach this point. Given that, she couldn’t help but want to straighten out Tu Si’s values and change her habits.

With the successful turnaround battle at ICC Yalugang, her good older brother would definitely not look down on her as before. She would probably need to spend more time and energy dealing with company and family matters.

She wouldn’t have as much time to look after Tu Si as she did in Yalugang. Letting her do what a person her age should do was the best choice.

Fang Yu, using the SMART principles and the Pyramid Principle, came up with two options for Tu Si.

First, Tu Si could go to high school and take the college entrance exam. The advantage was that, with Tu Si’s learning ability, she could definitely get into a good school after a year.

Second, she could go to an art school. Tu Si’s physical appearance and her skateboarding artistry guaranteed she would do well in the future.

Gong Shayu had initially settled on Option One and had begun contacting key high schools in Z City.

But after seeing Tu Si cry over the skateboard at the traffic police station, she switched to Option Two.

She didn’t demand that Tu Si become a highly useful person. Given her financial situation, even if she failed to secure the right of succession, she could ensure Tu Si was financially secure for life.

She simply wanted Tu Si to be safely and happily shielded from the conflicts and dangers on her side.

Seeing Tu Si’s expression, Gong Shayu felt her dependence was still too strong, further reinforcing the importance and urgency of reshaping her values.

Considering Tu Si’s actual situation, she decided to give her a buffer.

“Here’s the deal. Every Friday, if I can spare the time, I’ll personally pick you up from school. I’ll also bring you back to the New City on statutory holidays, and I’ll stay there during those times too.”

Tu Si suddenly began to doubt Gong Shayu’s words. She had never had a shred of doubt about the flowers and plants on the roadside, but ever since Gong Shayu deleted her first WeChat friend, was she planning to use this method to delete herself from Tu Si’s life as well?

This feeling was novel, and also bad, for the Cuscuta spirit.

Tu Si’s eyes instantly welled up. She stated again: “I don’t want to go to school. I don’t want to be separated from Jie-jie.”

Gong Shayu tried to reason with her: “Tu Si, you’re an adult now, not a little kangaroo clinging to my pouch. Be good.”

“But we’re married. Married people should live together. You promised me.” Tu Si insisted stubbornly, tears already spilling from her eyes.

Seeing that reasoning was useless, Gong Shayu changed her approach: “You must go.”

…

The person who came to pick them up was another of Gong Shayu’s assistants, named Tan Ke. She had a military police background, shoulder-length short hair, and was the same height as Gong Shayu.

She had been with Gong Shayu for two years, one month longer than Fang Yu.

In the past, due to the need for discretion, Gong Shayu had given her nearly a year of paid leave. Gong Shayu had only recently recalled her to her side.

Tan Ke and Fang Yu had different responsibilities—Fang Yu managed company affairs, while Tan Ke was focused on Gong Shayu’s private matters.

Tan Ke parked the car and waited for Gong Shayu’s next instruction.

Her original instruction was to drive to Sea View No. 1 (where Gong’s mother lived), passing through Garden City in the New City area on the way. Of course, these two places were not on the same route.

Tu Si, holding onto Gong Shayu’s waist, used her ultimate tearful technique: “Jie-jie… I love you. Don’t leave me.”

Tan Ke felt a chill on her neck. Why did President Gong pick up this habit in Yalugang? Is what she brought back… a local specialty?

And judging by the situation, this “specialty” seemed to have a very, very unusual relationship with her.

If the “specialty” makes President Gong mad and I have to drag her back to the airport, then detour back to Sea View No. 1, my night is ruined!

Hello, Assistant Fang!!! What do I do? Waiting for an answer online!

Gong Shayu sighed heavily: “I’ll take you up.”

Tan Ke: “…………”

Tan Ke helped carry the luggage, then sat back in the car to wait, wondering if she had entered the wrong scenario after being out on leave for a year.

Seeing that Fang Yu wasn’t replying to her message, Tan Ke called him directly.

Fang Yu, speaking with the professional voice of a ‘third wheel,’ told her: “If you don’t want to make another trip tomorrow, you can find a place nearby to sleep.”

The elevator stopped on the twenty-third floor. Tu Si followed Gong Shayu with her big and small boxes.

After entering the apartment, Tu Si’s tears instantly stopped. The suddenly expansive view before her made her hold her breath. Beyond the glass wall was the shimmering nightscape of the river.

The lights of thousands of homes cast golden reflections on the dark water. The nearly six-meter-high hall was larger than the entire apartment in Yalugang. Most importantly, the entire design was made of natural wood, with ubiquitous green plants. Although some of them would “quarrel” when placed together, it didn’t stop them from bowing in unison the moment Tu Si entered.

With one look around, Tu Si had already decided where her main body should climb and stretch out.

Crying was easy for the Cuscuta spirit.

Making her smile was just as easy for Gong Shayu.

Sure enough, the next moment, Tu Si said sensibly: “Jie-jie, you go busy yourself. I’ll be fine.”

Gong Shayu, who had just messaged Aunt Yun that she would bring Tu Si to see her mother tomorrow: “…………”

Why does this woman become so agreeable when it involves material things?

Letting her loose is a bit…

Gong Shayu paused, then took an iron hanger out of the closet. Tu Si recognized it from the cold glint it emitted—it was the same as the one from Yalugang!

She reflexively sat up straight, thinking fearfully: Next time, I’ll bring this hanger to bed and make Gong Shayu try its taste herself.

“Listen carefully. I’m adding this to the last article of the contract. From now on, no matter who you meet or what they offer you, you are not allowed to accept anything!”

Tu Si was confused: “No one is giving me anything…”

Gong Shayu repeated: “I mean in case, if, suppose. Do you hear me?”

Tu Si looked at the hanger and thoughtfully replied, “Oh.”

While Gong Shayu was showering, Tu Si used a little spiritual power to finish organizing all her luggage. Then she suddenly remembered Hu Die’s earlier instruction: “Don’t misuse spiritual power in human society!”

She stared at the calm river outside. The dark, black hole-like surface seemed to be staring back at her. A sense of unease surged into her heart again.

That night, perhaps because both were tired, they quietly slept in each other’s arms for the first time.

…

The next morning, Gong Shayu personally carried a small suitcase for Tu Si to the garage.

Tan Ke was leaning against the car door, yawning. Her half-open mouth snapped shut the moment she saw the two of them.

She quickly stepped forward, took the luggage, and efficiently put it into the trunk. “President Gong, is Miss Tu also going to Sea View No. 1?”

Her question was direct and concise, without any circumlocution—Tan Ke was the straightforward type, unlike Fang Yu’s impeccable thoughtfulness.

“Mhm,” Gong Shayu got into the car. “We’re going to the school orientation together this afternoon.”

Tan Ke: “President Gong, you’re so good to her…”

“I’m quite good to you, too,” Gong Shayu said unhurriedly: “I suggest your mouth takes a vacation today.”

Tan Ke instantly zipped her mouth. President Gong hasn’t changed. Not one bit…

Gong Shayu waited for ten minutes downstairs. Tan Ke was sweating for Tu Si before she finally saw Tu Si slowly emerge from the elevator.

Tan Ke wanted to tell Tu Si about President Gong’s rules. But remembering Gong Shayu told her to shut up, she held back, thinking: There will be a good show to watch later.

As soon as she got into the car, Tu Si didn’t speak, just stared eagerly at Gong Shayu.

Tan Ke drove into the far right lane, ready to pull over at any moment for Gong Shayu to kick Tu Si out of the car.

Unexpectedly, the navigation suddenly prompted a left turn at the next intersection. Tan Ke cursed under her breath, violently turned the steering wheel, and slammed the accelerator, driving the Bentley like a tank.

Due to the inertia, Tu Si was thrown forward. Gong Shayu quickly extended her arm to block her forehead.

The driver glanced nervously into the rearview mirror. Meeting Gong Shayu’s sharp gaze, she cursed again internally: It’s my first day back at work!!!

She made a heavy note about Tu Si in her mind.

“Is your brain taking a break too?” Gong Shayu’s expression was displeased.

Tan Ke: “…”

The sudden braking didn’t affect Tu Si’s curiosity in the least: “So amazing! How did you manage to drive while your brain was resting and sleeping?”

If she could do that, she could sleep while attending school.

It turned out that if Tu Si wanted to, she could do it, but that was a later story.

Tan Ke: “…………”

This mouth is even more poisonous than the boss’s!

When the car reached its destination, Tu Si had completely resigned herself. She followed Gong Shayu, looking left and right. The neatly trimmed hedges, the gardens covered with vines, and the main buildings that looked perfect for sunbathing—why did this school look so beautiful?

Hearing the car, Aunt Yun rushed out to open the door and welcome them. When Tu Si got out of the car, Weng Shufang (Gong’s mother) also came out.

Tan Ke’s mouth twitched. She thought: Oh no, this is clearly the treatment for a daughter-in-law, and this “local specialty” from Yalugang looks like a total green tea. I’m going to suffer for it later.

Seeing Weng Shufang, the “green tea” Tu bowed respectfully: “Hello, Teacher.”

Aunt Yun: “?”

Tan Ke: “?”

Gong Shayu: “!”

I forgot that my mother can’t handle any more shocks!!!

Unexpectedly, Weng Shufang took a step forward, held Tu Si up with both hands, her eyes suddenly red: “Child… how did you know I was a teacher before I got married?”

Aunt Yun, completely lost: “!…”

Gong Shayu, suddenly realizing something: “…”

Tan Ke, utterly amazed: “!!!”

Damn, she’s a tough cookie!

In the end, Tu Si completely conquered Weng Shufang with her powerful digestive system (by eating a lot, likely). Gong Shayu promised that she would bring Tu Si to dinner next weekend before Weng Shufang would let them leave.

As Gong Shayu’s personal assistant, Tan Ke’s primary mission was the safety of her boss. Her professional intuition led her to classify Tu Si as a number one danger element.
