I Worked Overtime Yesterday and Missed a Chapter; I'll Make It Up at Three Along with the Bonus Chapter
"Huh?" Mayumi Saegusa was taken aback for a moment, then quickly put down the kitchen utensils she was holding.
" Yunyi-kun, what happened? Shall I go with you?"
Yunyi was about to agree, but then shook his head when he saw Miyuki Shiba and the others beside him.
" Tatsuya and the others are still here. If you come with me, wouldn't that leave Kasumi and Izumi to entertain them? That's not appropriate. You stay here and wait for me. I'll be back as soon as I've dealt with this."
After saying that, Yunyi patted Mayumi Saegusa, and then, under everyone's watchful eyes, wrote the incantation for the Gate of Transfer, leaving the Ogasawara Islands with the help of the spatial magic circle.
"President, Yunyi said his mother's troubles, is it because something happened to the Liu Family?"
As soon as Yunyi disappeared, Honoka Mitsui asked the question.
"Could it be that what happened here got back to the locals, and someone then went after the Liu Family?" Shizuku Kitayama chimed in.
Mayumi Saegusa smiled bitterly to herself. How was she supposed to answer that?
After a moment's hesitation, Mayumi Saegusa replied, " Yunyi-kun's family situation is rather complicated, so it shouldn't be a problem with the Liu Family. As for his mother's matter, I can't tell you the details without his permission. I'm sorry."
"Ah, President, please don't do this. We just wanted to help," Honoka Mitsui hurriedly waved her hand.
"President, have you met Yunyi's family?"
However, just as Honoka Mitsui was in a panic, Shizuku Kitayama accurately captured the key words.
Upon hearing Shizuku Kitayama's question, Mayumi Saegusa turned to look at her. Although Shizuku Kitayama's expression remained almost unchanged, the look in her eyes touched Mayumi Saegusa.
"I never expected Yunyi-kun to be so attractive to girls," Mayumi Saegusa thought to herself.
"Yes, not long ago, I went with Yunyi-kun to meet his mother."
Upon hearing Mayumi Saegusa's answer, Shizuku Kitayama nodded slightly. Her expression remained unchanged, but the hint of confusion in her eyes was clearly seen by Mayumi Saegusa Honoka Mitsui.
Atlantic Ocean.
As soon as Yunyi appeared on the deck, he felt the ship shake violently.
His gaze swept around and he immediately saw the cause of the situation.
" Domain Expansion! Fool's World!"
" The Wall of Nothingness "
As Yunyi finished Kanon, a transparent barrier solidified in the air, completely blocking the cannonballs flying towards the research ship!
The shells exploded on the barrier, but neither the sound, the aftershocks, nor even the heat generated by the explosions could penetrate the barrier and affect the research ship on this side.
What brings you here?
Suddenly, a familiar voice reached his ears. Yunyi immediately turned around and saw Shen Yi, so he immediately went to greet her.
"Mom, you didn't... Ouch!"
Before Yunyi could finish speaking, Shen Yi kicked him hard.
She was wearing a pair of pointed high heels, so when that kick landed on her leg, it really didn't feel good.
"Don't call me Mom, it makes me feel old!" Shen Yi pushed Yunyi in dissatisfaction.
Her gaze fell upon the three warships on the distant sea, her eyes narrowing slightly. After a moment, she turned to Yunyi and asked, "Did Xiao Mei inform you?"
Yunyi nodded, looking aggrieved. He had a feeling that his hurried arrival wouldn't move Shen Yi; instead, it might make her dislike him even more. He didn't want to ask anymore whether he was her biological son; the answer was always the same anyway. Yunyi was actually quite puzzled. He wasn't bad-looking at all. If he were thrown on the street, he'd get at least 70-80% of people turning their heads, if not 100%. So why was he so disliked by Shen Yi?
"Since we're here, let's not leave empty-handed. Let's deal with those three warships. This area isn't safe anymore. I need to arrange a change of course." Shen Yi slightly raised her head, signaling Yunyi to handle the trouble, then turned and headed straight for the cabin.
Yunyi's face darkened. He realized that he was just a tool in Shen Yi's eyes.
After Shen Yi left, a head peeked out from around the corner not far away. She glanced at the deck and, finding Shen Yi gone, jogged over to Yunyi's side.
" A-Yi, is Sister Yi complaining about you again?" Chen Mei asked with a mischievous smile.
Yunyi pinched the bridge of her nose, pushed the woman who looked like she was watching a show back a bit, and said irritably, "You're just making things difficult for me! I thought it was something serious! I rushed over in a hurry, but Sister Yi didn't even give me a second glance before dismissing me."
Chen Mei laughed heartily after hearing this.
"Who told you to throw that bloody thing into my lab! This is the price you pay, you better remember this! If you dare to do it again, I'll have Sister Yi kick you out of the house!" Chen Mei threatened, raising her little fist.
"No matter how much Sister Yi dislikes me, she's still my mother. If she's going to kick me out of the house, I think it's more like she'll kick you out," Yunyi retorted.
To everyone's surprise, upon hearing his words, Chen Mei's face showed an expression that said, "How can you be so shameless?"
" A-Yi, let me tell you the truth, but don't be sad. Didn't you bring your girlfriend over not long ago? Sister Yi seemed quite satisfied with her. After that, Sister Yi told me that she's getting more and more disgusted with you, you troublesome child. She said that once you and that girl have a grandson or granddaughter for her, she'll kick you out of the house and abandon you!"
As Chen Mei said this, her face was full of smiles, clearly enjoying the spectacle.
Looking at the woman in front of him, Yunyi was completely helpless. After taking care of him for a few years, Shen Yi had to leave due to work. Fearing that Yunyi would grow up badly on his own, the old man recruited a girl from one of his old friends' homes to help look after him. This girl was Chen Mei, who accompanied Yunyi Yunyi his childhood, the darkest period of his life.
It's fair to say that Chen Mei is the person who has been with him the longest. In this respect, neither his father nor Shen Yi can compare to Chen Mei. So no matter how much Chen Mei tries to cause trouble in front of him now, he can only feel frustrated.
"Alright, let's get down to business. Those warships should belong to Indonesia, right? How did they end up running into each other in the Atlantic Ocean?"
Upon hearing Yunyi's question, Chen Mei also abandoned her playful attitude.
"I don't know either, but these three warships have been following us for over two days. I don't know why, but today they started shelling us as a show of force. I was worried something might happen, so I informed you."
