Gasp! She's a Time Traveler Using Modern Tech to Improve Ancient Life-Chapter 502 - 501: Focusing on Career, Not Romance

Chapter 502: Chapter 501: Focusing on Career, Not Romance

Inside the old house at Drum Tower, the elderly lady Yu Ni’s farming livestream was coming to an end.

She watered the last plant and slowly walked to the edge of the garden to turn off the livestream.

Lu Shouyue, who had been helping behind her, removed his watch the moment he arrived, due to his last appearance on the trending topic "The Vacheron Constantin Young Master." He took off his perfectly tailored, high-end jacket and simply dressed to help.

Although he still didn’t show his face, the livestream comments about him were still plentiful.

In the last trending topic where he pulled a scumbag into the "black room," he showed his eyes, and everyone realized he was a very handsome guy with a strong presence.

The previous trending topic gained the elderly lady a wave of followers, and she was glad, making her livestreams more enthusiastic.

Now, besides farming livestreams, the elderly lady occasionally takes viewers to see her embroidery collection room.

More and more people online were calling her grandma, even though the "Vacheron Constantin Young Master" never wore a Vacheron Constantin again, netizens loved to joke about this meme.

After the last trending topic, everyone assumed the elderly lady was a wealthy and leisure-loving retired lady who finds fun in farming.

Seeing her share her embroidery room from this perspective made everything seem excellent—especially since those embroidery works were genuinely splendid.

People loved watching this kind of serene passage of time.

Every time they entered her livestream room, it seemed even time slowed down, and all the world’s clamor would fade away.

In fact, many online already knew her identity, at least the intangible cultural heritage inheritor, Master Yao, who personally embroidered a portrait for her, was well aware.

It’s just that the elderly lady doesn’t show her face, so everyone tacitly agreed to keep silent.

Lu Shouyue followed the elderly lady to wash their hands and changed off his farming shoes, treading barefoot across the spotless floor.

"Dear grandson, why are you not happy today?" The elderly lady Yu Ni took a fruit plate and placed it on the coffee table in front of Lu Shouyue.

Lu Shouyue smiled, bit an apple, and then relaxedly leaned back on the sofa: "No, how could I be unhappy when visiting grandma."

The elderly lady glanced at Lu Shouyue with her worldly-wise eyes and laughed: "Where’s that pretty girl? When will you bring her to meet grandma?"

Lu Shouyue’s expression didn’t change, but his tone became flat: "Oh, that. Grandma, is this apple grown by you? It’s quite crispy and delicious."

The elderly lady noticed Lu Shouyue changed the topic and understood immediately.

She sat next to Lu Shouyue, gently patted his hand, and said kindly: "Dear grandson, it’s okay, don’t be sad. There are many lovely girls; we can find another one."

Lu Shouyue smiled and nodded, continuing to munch the apple without replying.

"Hey, let me show you the comments under my video account. Many want to be my granddaughter-in-law. Wanna see their profiles?"

Lu Shouyue chuckled: "No need, grandma, it’s better to focus on career."

"Haha, that’s fine. Your happiness is most important. Come, keep grandma company while watching TV."

The elderly lady put on her reading glasses, turned on the TV, and the two watched a lively variety show with matching smiles.

In contrast to Lu Shouyue’s parents who were very anxious about his lifelong matters, Lu Shouyue’s grandmother, who had experienced war and betrayal, was more open-minded.

After an episode of the variety show, as the second one started, the elderly lady walked away to tend to her affairs, and only then did Lu Shouyue’s smile slowly fade.

He watched the lively screen with a blank expression, the glow from the screen highlighting his majestically handsome face with a colder look.

Though he said nothing, merely watching the variety show in silence, a poignant mood emanated from him.

The livelier it was on TV, the lonelier the person in front of it seemed.

He hated ambiguity, hated probing! Even the Love Bible says all ambiguity is because of insufficient love.

The first theft case at Lin Wanwan’s house was solved when the two celadon pieces tipped off the police, who used them to trace back and capture the thieves.

Unfortunately, out of six celadon pieces, only five were recovered, and one was smashed.

But Lin Wanwan didn’t mind; these pieces were ones she exchanged for cotton cloth in Great Tang, so they weren’t worth much to her.

What she cared about was capturing those thieves.

The theft of antiques worth millions was already considered a major case in the district. Based on the value, those people would have to spend years sewing inside prison.

The interrogation results showed that they were not part of the same gang as the thief Lin Wanwan had sliced into a bloody gourd.

The one Lin Wanwan personally caught gave up his accomplice, that suspicious foreigner who fled at the wrong time. Their target was the blue diamond, and even an escape route abroad post-success was arranged.

Although it ultimately failed, that foreigner was cautious and left Huaxia as planned after missing an opportunity, so the local police couldn’t reach him.

The community was frightened by two thefts occurring in such a short span, with bloodshed in the second, scaring the residents much. The elderly and young, with weak defensive capabilities, were the majority.

Related rumors spread and exaggerated, until the point of claiming murders were followed by dismemberment.

The community’s security team was switched at a pace faster than thunderbolts amidst these rumors.

The gatekeepers changed from elderly men to now fit young guys.

The new security team trained every morning in the community and patrolled in squads at night, regardless of their actual combat abilities; at least the posture was impressive, offering the elderly residents a great sense of security.

The maintenance fees increased from 1.5 yuan to 2 yuan. Although everyone was reluctant to spend this money, they had no choice; services needed improvement, and security must be prioritized.

With more thieves coming, people wouldn’t dare sleep peacefully.

Nearby shops selling anti-theft windows and doors seized this business opportunity.

Even Lin Wanwan joined the army of installing anti-theft windows, adding locks to each of her Herculean mesh windows. These were less obtrusive and ugly compared to barred windows but were sufficiently protective.

A month later, the community was peaceful—for the most part, Lin Wanwan’s home was peaceful.

Possibly because the police specially arranged for someone to watch her home for a few days, or because the yellow-haired, white-skinned escapee spread the word that the homeowner was someone not to be trifled with, a mad beauty.

With modern dangers at an end, on the Great Tang side, Xiao Chong’s plan to suppress bandits was also proceeding smoothly. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

This guy used tactics unpredictably, never sticking to conventional methods, tricking when he could trick, ambushing when he could ambush, and never engaging in direct combat easily.

Even when holding an absolute advantage, he only surrounded but didn’t attack, cutting off the mountain bandits’ food supply, starving them to the point of having no choice but to escape from the mountains, only to be wiped out completely in the end.

Although Lin Wanwan couldn’t fight, she was adept at theorizing. Simply put, Xiao Chong’s approach was straight out of Sun Zhi’s Art of War·Strategic Attack Chapter—

Thus, the way of using troops: ten to surround, five to attack, double to divide, equal to battle, fewer to retreat, inferior to avoid. Therefore, a small enemy’s resolve is the large enemy’s capture.
