The Rebirth of the Fierce Little Cute Girl

Yiyi’s movements were quick, and with Gu Tingyu’s help, they finished washing all the dishes and even mopped the floor in no time. "Gu Tingyu, you should go rest now. I’ll head off to study."

Hearing Yiyi’s words, Gu Tingyu remembered her status as a student and couldn’t help but ask, "Is there anything you don’t understand? Although I’ve graduated a few years ago, tutoring you shouldn’t be a problem."

"Really? That would be great. There are indeed some things I don’t quite get."

Lately, Fei Erya had moved back to her own home, so she hadn’t received tutoring for a while, causing her to accumulate a lot of doubts. If Gu Tingyu could really help, that would be perfect.

During this time, Yiyi had been jotting down any difficult problems she encountered in a notebook, so now she directly took out the notebook and handed it to Gu Tingyu, waiting for him to explain.

Taking the notebook Yiyi handed over, Gu Tingyu began to look through it seriously. Although it had been a few years since he left school, he had always excelled in his studies, so tutoring Yiyi was no issue at all.

"This geometry problem isn’t actually that hard. You just need to grasp the trajectory of these two moving points, and you’ll get the answer." As he spoke, Gu Tingyu started drawing a dashed diagram for the problem.

With Gu Tingyu’s explanation, Yiyi suddenly found the problem becoming simpler.

Gu Tingyu’s way of explaining was quite different from the math teacher’s and Fei Erya’s; his explanations were particularly straightforward, making it easier for Yiyi to understand.

After finishing explaining this problem, Gu Tingyu noticed the little girl looking at him with admiration, "Gu Tingyu, you’re amazing. The way you explained it, I find this problem quite simple."

"Actually, the problem wasn’t that difficult to begin with."

Hearing this, Gu Tingyu smiled and said, then went over the key points of the problem once again, "As long as you remember this, you’ll be able to solve similar problems next time."

Yiyi smiled and nodded, jotting down the points to remember.

Then Gu Tingyu continued going through the notebook, explaining all the difficult problems Yiyi had accumulated during this period. By the time he was done, it was already late. "You should go to bed early; you have class tomorrow."

Seeing that it was indeed getting late, Yiyi nodded directly and also reminded Gu Tingyu, "You should get some rest too. It’s best to take care of yourself these few days."

"Okay, I’ll rest well these days."

However, the very next day, Gu Tingyu had to leave due to some matters.

Seeing the note left on the table, Yiyi couldn’t help feeling a bit helpless. She had thought they could spend some quality time together during this period, but he had already left.

Seeing her daughter’s expression of regret, Ding Yuejun smiled beside her, "Alright, Yiyi, hurry up and get to school. Even if Xiao Gu stays at home, it doesn’t matter much; you still have to go to school."

Hearing this, Yiyi felt it made a lot of sense, and her sense of regret lessened a bit.

"Mom, you should go to the clothing store. I’ll head to school."

Ding Yuejun nodded.

"Okay, remember to come to the clothing store for lunch. This morning, Aunt Yin and I can finish our work, and we’ll have a proper meal at noon. I’ll cook."

Hearing this, Yiyi immediately smiled and nodded.

When noon came, Yiyi went to the clothing store and found that besides her mother and Yin Suxin, there was Boss Wu and a middle-aged man she didn’t recognize.

Seeing her daughter coming over, Ding Yuejun quickly waved her over, "Yiyi, come here quickly."

Seeing Yiyi, Wu Yongcai greeted her with a smile, "Yiyi, young lady, we meet again."

"Hello, Boss Wu."

Yiyi also greeted him with a smile and then looked curiously at the man beside Wu Yongcai.

"Let me introduce, this is Mr. Chu."

Upon hearing this, Yiyi greeted the middle-aged man with a smile, "Hello, Mr. Chu."

"Hello."

Chu Hongyi nodded at Yiyi as a greeting and then looked at Ding Yuejun with slightly eager eyes, "Boss Ding, can we see those five pieces of clothing now?"

"Of course."

Ding Yuejun replied with a smile, though there was a touch of confusion in her eyes; this person seemed a bit too impatient.

Before Yiyi came in, these two had just arrived, and they were already eager for her to bring out those five pieces of clothing. It was only because Yiyi had arrived that things were slightly delayed, yet this person was still so anxious.

This time, Boss Wu came to pick up the goods himself and even brought such a person along. She didn’t know who this person was, but since Boss Wu hadn’t mentioned anything, she had nothing to say; after all, it’s Boss Wu’s custom-made clothes.

After bringing out the five custom-made outfits for Wu Yongcai, Ding Yuejun spread them out on the table, making them easy for the others to view.

Before Wu Yongcai stepped forward, Chu Hongyi eagerly examined the clothes, focusing not on their style but on the embroidery on them.

On the two cheongsams, one was embroidered with a lotus bat pattern and the other with a floral and fauna motif, while the designs on the three long skirts consisted of various round floral patterns.

Seeing the lifelike embroidery and the familiar embroidery technique, Chu Hongyi’s eyes lit up.

"Boss Ding, is your mother by any chance surnamed Chu?"

Hearing this, Ding Yuejun was full of surprise.

Even Yiyi looked at Chu Hongyi in astonishment, and then a realization dawned on her. Since this man was surnamed Chu, he might actually have something to do with her grandmother, especially since he could guess this just by looking at the embroidery.

Seeing that Ding Yuejun did not speak, Chu Hongyi quickly said, "Your embroidery uses our traditional Chu’s needlework method, which is not passed on to outsiders, so you must be a member of the Chu Family."

Seeing Chu Hongyi so excited, Ding Yuejun said, "My mother is indeed surnamed Chu."

"Where is she?"

"She has passed away." Speaking of this, Ding Yuejun’s mood became slightly downcast.

Upon hearing this, Chu Hongyi was full of regret. "The one who could teach you the Chu’s needlework must have been a direct descendant of our Chu Family. Sadly, there aren’t many direct descendants left."

Hearing this, Ding Yuejun realized her foster mother must have come from a prominent family; otherwise, there wouldn’t be talk of direct descendants. However, she also needed to clarify things.

"Although my mother’s surname is Chu, she is my foster mother. She adopted me when I was very young. We had a deep bond, but we are not biologically related, so I am not a member of the Chu Family."

Hearing Ding Yuejun’s words, Chu Hongyi was full of disbelief, "You’re not a member of the Chu Family!"

But looking at the embroidery on the five pieces of clothing, he quickly added, "Even if you aren’t related to the Chu Family by blood, since you accepted her as your mother, you are still a member of the Chu Family."
