Uprising In The Plot! After Transmigrating, The Bigshots Pampered Me Chapter 62

Chapter 62: Rejecting Cooperation

Qiao Lian did not explain his plan to Yu Yao in detail, only vaguely revealing a bit. “Those people will definitely show some loopholes in their panic. I’m going to pick up the scraps this time.”

“Then I wish you luck in finding a big loophole.” Yu Yao shrugged and said, “Since I created such a suitable opportunity and condition for you, shouldn’t you give me some benefits?”

“What do you want?” Qiao Lian was not surprised. It could even be said that he admired Yu Yao more for pushing her luck.

“I want you to share information with me.” Yu Yao voiced her thoughts. “Look, we have a common enemy now, and there’s a high chance we’ll cooperate in the future. Why can’t we start with sharing information?”

Qiao Lian shook his head and chuckled. Although he admired Yu Yao’s courage, he still refused, “I can only say that I can’t share the information that I know with you yet. You should be able to understand why.”

Yu Yao sighed, but she was not too disappointed. “Of course I know why you rejected me. On the one hand, it’s because I, or rather, the Yu family and I are not strong enough. It’s even because of what happened at the mental hospital. We are currently in a very dangerous situation. Working with you now will only become a burden to you.”

At this time, the way Qiao Lian looked at Yu Yao was already filled with pure praise, not the superficial admiration like looking at a cute cat or a young and beautiful girl.

Hence, his expression turned solemn. “Since you understand what I’m thinking, I’ll wait for you to become strong enough to be my partner.”

Yu Yao stretched out her hand. “Don’t worry. I won’t make you wait too long.”

Although Qiao Lian thought it was a little funny, he still took her hand. The two of them shook it as if they had made a pact.

The current Yu Yao acted too much like a boss discussing a business deal. Although Yu Jue disliked the two hands that were clasped together, he did not dare to go forward and separate them.

Even after getting into the nanny van, Yu Jue was still feeling indignant. Intentionally, he whispered bad things about Qiao Ling in Yu Yao’s ear.

“Yaoyao, that damned guy doesn’t like you at all. Look, he’s not even willing to share information with you. You must not be deceived by his flowery words again!”

Yu Yao glanced at the chattering Yu Jue and rolled her eyes helplessly. “Can you shut up?”

Yu Jue zipped his mouth aggrievedly, then stared at Yu Yao with pitiful eyes. Yu Yao felt goosebumps all over her body.

She could only patiently coax him. “I wasn’t even thinking about Qiao Lian anymore. Aren’t you helping him become relevant by mentioning him over and over again?”

Yu Jue came to a realization and looked distressed. “My mistake. Yaoyao, I definitely won’t mention any man’s name in front of you!”

“Alright, alright, whatever you want…” Yu Yao nodded perfunctorily and closed her eyes to pretend to sleep, no longer paying attention to this guy who had a screw loose in his brain.

Yu Yao returned home and set up King’s bed, litter box, and his toys. She played with King for a while and let him familiarize himself with her home.

After King surveyed every corner and familiarized himself with his new territory, he crawled into the cat den with ease and began sleeping.

Yu Yao no longer disturbed the sleeping King. She and Yu Jue still had to continue recording the variety show. It was already noon, so they needed to use the remaining activity funds to buy groceries and cook. Moreover, they also needed to plan the expenditures for this afternoon and all of tomorrow.

When she got downstairs, Yu Yao noticed that Yu Jue was already preparing to head outside with the activity funds.

After seeing Yu Yao, Yu Jue said confidently, “Yaoyao, I’m going to buy groceries. Be good and wait for me at home. I’ll cook something delicious for you when I get back.”

Even if the breakfast this morning had proven that Yu Jue still had some redeeming qualities in his culinary skills, Yu Yao still could not completely trust him.

“What are you going to cook for lunch today? How much money did you bring?”

Yu Jue had clearly already planned things out in his head. He poured out all his thoughts at once.

Yu Yao’s brows furrowed deeper and deeper as she listened to Yu Jue’s account. In the end, she helplessly made a stop sign.

“Alright, don’t say any more. According to the menu you’ve set, we need beef and pork ribs today, as well as a few types of vegetables. How much do you think our meal will cost?”

Yu Jue did not receive his sister’s support. He took out all the money in his pocket uneasily. “I, I don’t know either…”

Yu Yao took out the stack of money and counted it. She sighed and said, “Forget it. I’ll look after the money and go grocery shopping with you. I’ll help you with lunch.”

“Yaoyao, I’m the older brother. How can I let you do the shopping and cooking?” Yu Jue wanted to maintain his dignity as an elder brother. “I promise you that I’ll definitely take good care of you.”
