Ying Yue began pouting but nodded to her mother. Before hugging her around the neck. Yu Yan wrapped her arms around her. Sometimes she forgets that Ying Yu is only a child, the way she acts and her level of understanding makes her appear much more mature compared to her age.

Yu Yan's line of thoughts was broken when she heard a loud growl coming from the tummy of her precious daughter. Looking down she saw Ying Yue burying her face in her mother's dress in embarrassment. Laughing she told Ying Yue to put away the things and set the table while she prepares the dinner.

Ying Yue got up quickly and started putting the bag and bread loaf away before setting the table while Yu Yan was busy preparing the dinner. She was just done setting the table when her phone started ringing.

Ring .....

Ring .....

Ring .....

Picking up her phone from the table when she heard her mother asking,

"Who is it?"

She was really spoiled looking down at her expensive food she was reminded that her mother doesn't own a phone. The few contacts she has were her boss and adopted brother and they called on this number.

In her previous life she had deleted her mother's contacts and stopped picking their calls, going as far as to putting them on block list.

Looking at the 'Caller Id' she answered her mother quickly,

"It is Uncle Yoshito! I will answer, no need to worry you carry on".

She saw her mother nod and give her a smile before going back to chopping the meat.

Answering the call in a cheerful voice,

"Good Evening! Uncle Yoshito!"

.

.

"Good Evening! Who is this lovely person I am speaking to?"

.

.

"Uncle! It's me Ying Yue".

.

.

"Ying Yue? This is a big surprise. Since when did my favourite adopted niece turn from her usual grumpy self to such a cheerful young lady?"

.

.

"Hmm! Uncle I matured with age, don't tease me".

.

.

"Oh! I am not teasing just surprised".

.

.

"By the way since you are talking it must mean your mother is busy. So tell what has been going in your life lately".

Turning her attention towards her mother she saw her busy preparing dinner, she slowly got up and went out of the kitchen.

"Uncle Yoshito! My life is going great. I am enjoying school, studying, playing, eating etc etc".

.

.

"This sounds like you are having fun on top of everything. So you want any help from your one and only uncle?"

.

.

"Now that you said it. I am in need of your help big time. Think you can help?".

.

.

"When my little niece is asking so politely, how can her super uncle not help her. Shoot! What do you want help with".

.

.

"Uncle! Do you think you can secure a slot for me in your school. My grades have already improved and I am sure I will pass as a valedictorian. I am looking for a scholarship too. Can you help?"

.

.

"If what you said is true little Ying than you will get in with no problem. Just score above 80% and your spot is secured with scholarship. Don't worry and work hard!"

.

.

"Really uncle! Thankyou!"

Uncle Yoshito never sugarcoats his words or speak in riddles, he always goes straight to the point.

In her previous life she was always getting scolded by him on her poor performance in school which caused her to hate him but now she knows that he only had her best interest in his mind that he was caring and honest person who cares for both her beloved mother and herself so she wants to get close to him too.

"And Uncle I have an another favor to ask".

.

.

"Your uncle is listening go ahead".

.

.

"My mom's birthday is drawing closer. I wanted to invite you to have a small celebration. Will you come?"

.

.

"You are inviting me?"

Ying Yue can hear the shock in his voice and gave a laugh. She replied back teasing her uncle,

"Well uncle I think it is better to celebrate with someone who is loaded. Don't you agree?"

Ying Yue's teasing broke him out if the shock he was experiencing and he started laughing. ...
