Chapter 136
The wedding of Lin Fangyu was over. Yu Shu and Shen Youlin did not return to the county city. Yu Shu told him about arranging for Ye Ping and her husband to travel around the world.
"They haven't been out much, and they don't have any experience with traveling. If they go on their own, they won't be able to make the most of it. It would be better if someone with experience accompanied them, but where can we find such a person?"
Shen Youlin had an idea: "I know where to find such a person."
"SkyClub, the Paradise Power Club, caters to all the needs of its members. Not only can they arrange world tours, they can even arrange for trips to the Moon on a spacecraft if you want."
"That sounds so fantastical," Yu Shu said skeptically.
Shen Youlin then explained to her about this club that serves the world's wealthiest elites. They had even arranged space weddings for members in the past. There was nothing the members couldn't imagine that the club couldn't make happen.
"What if I want eternal life?" Yu Shu asked, still unconvinced.
"They can cryogenically freeze you and revive you when needed. In a way, I suppose that counts," Shen Youlin replied.
Yu Shu frowned. "I thought I was quite knowledgeable."
Shen Youlin made a call and got a reply from the other end: There was a couple of white travelers who planned to tour all of China over the next five years, and they were currently looking for sponsors.
Yu Shu agreed to sponsor the white couple, paying for all their travel expenses, but on the condition that they take Ye Ping and Yu Feng along with them.
The club made the arrangements, and the traveling couple would arrive in Chengdu in three days to meet Ye Ping and Yu Feng and decide whether to accept Yu Shu's sponsorship.
Yu Shu agreed, marveling that those who could become a "family" were not ordinary people.
Shen Youlin scoffed, "My family has many 'great ones'. My grandfather is a renowned scholar of Chinese classics, my grandmother is a master of Shu embroidery, a national intangible cultural heritage. Which of them isn't greater than those two foreign devils?"
"Great, great, you're great too," Yu Shu pinched his increasingly plump cheeks. "You'll become a world-famous novelist someday too."
Shen Youlin grunted twice, "Of course!"
Yu Shu smiled back, "Long time no see, Mr. Consultant."
Shen Youlin abruptly inserted himself between them, eyeing Yu Yan suspiciously. "What are you doing?"
Yu Yan let out a mocking laugh but said nothing more as he walked away.
Yu Shu looked puzzled. "Why do you have such a problem with Mr. Yu?"
"If it weren't for him helping, you wouldn't have been able to catch up with me."
Shen Youlin grunted and said quietly, "Stay away from him, he's no good."
Overhearing Shen Youlin, Yu Yan turned back with a smile. "Ah, you misunderstand. I'm openly no good. If I really had designs on her, you wouldn't stand a chance."
Shen Youlin jumped up angrily, "What kind of superhuman hearing do you have? You should get your ears checked!"
Yu Yan spread his hands helplessly. "A gifted talent, what can I do? Remember when you got stuck in a tree as a kid and couldn't get down? I heard your cries and came to rescue you."
Shen Youlin grew even angrier. "You're just making things up to slander my innocence. When did I ever get stuck in a tree? When did I ever cry?"
Yu Lie, always one to stir up trouble, chimed in to support his brother. "I remember too. Big brother Youlin climbed a tree, the ladder fell, and he got stuck. He hugged the tree crying for half a day."
"I didn't, I didn't, stop making things up! Baseless claims, don't talk nonsense!"
Yu Yan said, "I have evidence, I recorded it."
Shen Youlin glared at Yu Yan. "You can't possibly have that video!"
"I really do have that video!" Yu Yan's smile grew wider as he turned to Yu Shu. "Want me to show you?"
Yu Shu readily agreed, "Sure."
