Chapter 100: Chapter 98: This Isn’t the Tea I Brought

Shu Chao Yu went to his friend who owned a milk tea shop. After all, milk tea shops have plenty of tea.

The friend was very generous, sending two tins over late at night via a delivery robot. Each tin was 500 grams.

In terms of Star Coins...

Shu Yao didn’t dare to do the math.

’Doing the math would just make her question her life choices.’

After receiving the tea, Shu Chao Yu decided to return the favor by inviting his friend over for a meal. They set the time for the following afternoon.

The location: the Shu Family residence.

He enthusiastically recommended his niece’s omurice to his best friend.

The next morning, as Shu Yao was reciting the key points Qin Shiwei had highlighted for her the previous night, she heard the robot butler announce the arrival of guests.

She went out and saw two unfamiliar young men.

Even though she didn’t recognize them, she had to let them in, seeing as they’d brought a gift.

Both of them were Shu Chao Yu’s best friends.

The less talkative one was Yuan Ju, whose family was in business. The bustling milk tea shop Shu Yao had visited the day before was his. He was also the one who had sent the tea.

The lively one was Jiang Fei, a chatterbox and the son of the Fourth District’s deputy chief. When he saw Shu Chao Yu mention treating someone to a meal in the group chat last night, the foodie in him couldn’t resist, so he tagged along with Yuan Ju to get a free meal.

Shu Yao brewed some tea for them and went to wake her still-sleeping uncle.

Shu Chao Yu stumbled into the living room, hair a mess and face unwashed, and said to the two men sipping hot tea, "Didn’t we agree on this afternoon?"

If he hadn’t checked the time, he would’ve thought he’d slept through the entire day.

Jiang Fei excitedly pointed at his empty teacup. "This is delicious!"

"This tea..." Yuan Ju began, looking at Shu Chao Yu.

Jiang Fei cut in, "Mr. Yu, if you have tea this good at home, why did you ask Yuanyuan for some?"

Shu Chao Yu was a little confused. "This *is* the tea I got from Yuan."

Yuan Ju froze for a moment, then lifted his cup and took a small, deliberate sip to savor the taste.

As a tea merchant himself, he knew for a fact that the two tins he sent yesterday couldn’t produce such a mellow, fragrant flavor. Moreover, the color of the brew wasn’t this beautiful.

Yuan Ju stated with certainty, "This isn’t the tea I sent."

Shu Chao Yu muttered in confusion, "Don’t tell me my niece thought your tea wasn’t good and bought another kind online?"

Yuan Ju: "..." ’Ouch.’

But if tea this good were on the market, it was impossible that he wouldn’t know about it.

So he asked, "Where’d she buy it? What variety is it? Send me the link."

"Hang on, I’ll ask her."

Shu Chao Yu called out, but instead of Shu Yao, it was Shu Xin who appeared.

Shu Xin came over with her palm raised as if to slap him, looking like a protective mother hen.

"Xiao Juzi is still sleeping! What are you yelling about?"

"Sister Xin," Yuan Ju and Jiang Fei greeted her in unison.

Shu Xin’s expression changed in a flash. She smiled back at them, her tone turning gentle. "Yuanyuan, Little Jiang Fei, you’re here! Have you had breakfast? Just wait a moment, Yaoyao... my daughter... she’s busy in the back."

Seeing his older sister’s blatant favoritism, Shu Chao Yu pouted, feeling a little wronged.

Xiao Juzi emerged from his room, rubbing his sleepy eyes and swaying groggily. His new friend, the Mini Kunlun, followed close at his heels.

Seeing the tail on his pajamas sticking straight out, Shu Chao Yu knew the boy had woken up because he needed to pee. He immediately vaulted over the back of the sofa, scooped him up, and headed for the bathroom.

Jiang Fei’s attention was caught by the Mini Kunlun. He got up and ran over to study it, his expression full of wonder.

"This is the new model that just came out yesterday, isn’t it? Why is it moving?"

"Hello, sir," the Mini Kunlun greeted the person in front of it politely.

Jiang Fei was floored. "Holy crap, it talks too! It’s so smart! Since when has the Imperial Court Company been willing to sink this kind of money into a model?!"

The Kunlun Model was a product line from the Imperial Court Company.

And the Imperial Court Company, which was affiliated with the Imperial Family, had a long-standing reputation for using the lowest possible costs to generate the highest possible profits.
