Guangdong, Pengcheng.

Under the sunny sky, there is a group of busy people.

Su Xiaoxi, who just graduated from high school, ushered in the most beautiful time of her life.

She is like a sunset under the morning sun, so beautiful that people can't take their eyes off her.

Like everyone else in this world, she has to work hard every day to pay off her debts.

The money was not owed by her, nor by her mother. She just didn't want to owe Chen Lu a favor.

Su Xiaoxi grew up wealthy, but later on she was filled with anxiety.

I can’t find confidence, let alone my own dignity.

During her three years of high school, she worked a lot of part-time jobs, and accumulated a small amount of savings bit by bit.

But... college is almost here, will Chen Lu come as scheduled?

"Su Xiaoxi, I've been pursuing you for three years. Isn't it time for your iron tree to bloom?"

"I'm sorry, I told you three years ago that I had someone I liked, but you just didn't believe it."

"You want me to believe you? I haven't seen you in contact with any man in the past three years."

Lin Bei is a rich second-generation after all, and he pursued her so shamelessly, but there was no progress at all.

"No contact doesn't mean nothing. Don't waste your time on me. I won't agree to your request."

"Damn...you're such a cruel woman."

Lin Bei was hit hard every time, but he would chase her as usual.

Just because she is so nice.

In the past three years, many people have pursued her, but she would not give them hope and would directly reject them every time. Only Lin Bei was the only one who remained the same despite being rejected countless times.

"Xiao Xi, do you really have someone you like? Are you lying to us?"

Yang Zi is also Su Xiaoxi's best friend in the past three years. The two of them live in the same dormitory and can talk about anything.

It’s just that Su Xiaoxi rarely explains anything about Chen Lu.

After all, although Chen Lu's father has disappeared for three years, the legend about him has never stopped in the country.

He is not only the richest man in the country, but also the idol of countless entrepreneurs.

Eight years after his retirement, the businesses he owns have not only not declined, but have continued to move forward steadily.

Mobile phones rank among the top three in the world, automobile sales are among the top five in the world, and the AI ​​industry is spread all over the world.

He has a dominant position in the short videos and short dramas that young people have always liked to play.

Their shopping mall is just outside the door, and their businesses are everywhere.

If you go down the wrong path, their company will be the one to do it.

How could she explain to others that she had been waiting for such a person for three years?

And we are childhood sweethearts.

"I'm not lying to you, he should be back soon."

"Then tell us quickly, what kind of person could be so captivated by our most beautiful Xiaoxi."

"You'll understand when you see it."

"I'm so looking forward to it. It's a pity that he probably doesn't know anything about you. These three years will be so hard."

"Xiao Xi..."

After growing up, Chen Lu is still the same as before, except that he is taller and more handsome.

No longer as naive as before.

Chen Lu urged his father to return home early just to see Su Xiaoxi earlier. Now that he finally got to see his old friend, he couldn't hide a smile on his face.

Su Xiaoxi also smiled. The two had known each other since childhood and had accompanied each other for three years in junior high school. It was not until now that they finally met again.

"You're back?"

"Well...I'll come back and go to college with you."

Yang Zi looked left and right, and immediately sneeringly stole the show, "You are the one Xiaoxi has been waiting for. You are not handsome either."

"Not only is he not handsome, but he's wearing Nike. Your family doesn't have much money!"

Lin Bei also hummed twice on the side. He was also a level ten bootlicker, the kind that couldn't be driven away.

But Su Xiaoxi never accepted his kindness, let alone any of his gifts.

It's true that you didn't spend a penny on it.

Such a good reunion atmosphere was ruined by these two people.

After all, I have grown up. I am no longer as changeable as before, and I no longer think about random things.

"It's true that I don't have much money. My dad is just an ordinary retired old man. Are you all Xiaoxi's friends?"

"I'm her best friend."

Yang Zi snorted, "You bastard, do you know that our Xiaoxi has been waiting for you for three years?"

"I know." Chen Lu said with a smile, "Let's go to my house for dinner. My dad should be ready soon."

"Is your dad here too?"

Su Xiaoxi still had a very good impression of Chen's father, but his status was really too high.

It’s so high that you can’t see the end even if you look up.

"Well... my dad asked me to treat you to a meal together."

"Uncle Chen, did he really let me go to your house for dinner?"

"Xiao Xi, you know, my dad has always been very good, and he doesn't object to me being with you."

Su Xiaoxi was a little nervous, not because of Chen Lu, but because of his father.

But since his father invited her, she had to go no matter what.

Although Chen Lu looked ordinary when he first came out, he was the heir to a top wealthy family, which was the symbol of a young master.

He is always accompanied by bodyguards, and when he is overseas, the number of his escorts is no less than eight.

Two Rolls-Royces were parked on the side of the road, and Chen Lu invited Su Xiaoxi to his home.

His mother is retired now, so the family naturally won't live in that ordinary community house anymore.

I now live in a mountaintop apartment with a sea view, which costs only about 700 or 800 million yuan and is not worth much.

Yang Zi followed along, and at this time Lin Bei naturally left in disappointment.

He is still a very qualified suitor, so leave gracefully and don't bother me anymore.

Chen Pingsheng does cook at home, and his cooking skills have improved a lot over the past few years.

Cooking for the family every day is a pleasure, isn’t it?

"Hey, is your house so big?" Yang Zi was so surprised that he almost bit his jaw off.

"Not really. My family has lived on islands overseas."

Island...what does it mean?

The kind where a family lives together?

Their house in Pengcheng is indeed not big, only about 1,000 square meters.

Just ordinary.

Chen Pingsheng, who is already fifty years old, is really in his second half of life.

"Now that you're here, please sit down. The food will be ready soon."

"Dad... Mom isn't back yet?"

"She went to your sister's place in Guangzhou."

When Chen Pingsheng brought the dishes over, he had quite a few white hairs on his temples, which was normal for his age.

Chen Lu took Su Xiaoxi to sit together. The long table for six people was perfect for four people to sit at.

"Uncle Chen..."

Su Xiaoxi was still a little embarrassed and didn't dare to face Chen Pingsheng.

"Xiao Xi, my son has been abroad for three years and he's been thinking about you a lot."

"Dad, why are you saying this?"

"Am I not telling the truth?"

Chen Pingsheng said: "You are still shy, you are really useless. I got married after your mother graduated from high school."

"Dad, do you agree that I can be friends with Xiaoxi?"

"I've never objected. Just get your mother's consent."

Chen Pingsheng put down his chopsticks and said, "You are still young, so there is no need to rush. You still have four years of college to spend time together. Besides, you really don't plan to tell Xiaoxi about Shen Xi."

"There's nothing between me and her, Dad, why are you talking about that?"

"You just won't admit it."

Chen Pingsheng looked at Su Xiaoxi and said seriously, "Xiaoxi, don't blame your uncle for telling the truth. I know that you have had a very difficult time in the past three years. You didn't touch a single cent of the more than 10 million yuan that silly boy gave you, and you even wanted to repay his house loan by working part-time.

"Your behavior is good, but it's meaningless. A family like ours never needs a frugal daughter-in-law. Whether it's Chen Lu or his two sisters, at your age, their annual expenses are calculated in billions. No matter how good their grades are, ordinary people can't earn this much money in their entire lives.

"So, your little bit of saving is meaningless to Chen Lu or our family.

"Also, although you and Chen Lu have been childhood sweethearts, you understand the difference between you two very well, even without me telling you. It's just that you haven't been together yet, so you don't know that when the gap in values ​​between two people is too big, you can't stay together for long.

"Uncle is not a cruel person. I am willing to give you three chances. If three chances still don't work, then Chen Lu can only be with Shen Xi."

Chen Pingsheng handed Su Xiaoxi a card. "There's 2 billion in it. You can spend it as you please. I won't ask you what you're doing with it, and you don't need to report to me. After four years of college, if there's still 2 billion in this card, then I'm sorry, you and Chen Lu are really not suitable."

Two billion is just a very ordinary number to him.

But for most people, this is definitely a dream that cannot be fulfilled in their lifetime.

Leaving a glimmer of hope for everything is his kindness.

No matter how hard Su Xiaoxi works to earn money for her studies, only ordinary families, including the bosses in short dramas, would like this kind of girl.

A truly wealthy family doesn't require you to be frugal at all.

You just need to have the ability to help him, and this ability can be from your family background or from yourself.

Of course, the most important thing is to have the same values.

Perhaps Chen Lu himself did not realize that no matter how good Su Xiaoxi was, her values ​​were actually very different from his.

The only one who is really similar to him is the little girl Shen Xi.

After all, skiing, mountain climbing, and hunting abroad are not cheap.

The last thing their family needs is saving.

People who are too frugal do not have the ability to make a lot of money.

In the past, textbooks liked to promote the idea that billionaires were frugal. If only these people really were frugal.

Who drives the economy?

Who will drive consumption?

Although Su Xiaoxi has a good personality, this kind of personality is actually not suitable for marrying into a wealthy family.

Giving her 2 billion is meant to train her and also to help her adapt to the consumption of wealthy families.

After all, Chen Pingsheng still saw the shadow of his wife when she was young in her.

He also didn't want his son to like a girl so much but not be able to have her.

This did not fit in with his philosophy of being a father, as they were previously too young.

Now that he is in college, he will eventually have to support him and give him opportunities.

When a father educates his son, he does not blindly hope that his son will become successful, but he just truly hopes that his son can find the one that suits him best.

In a long-term relationship, suitability is actually more important than liking each other.

Father’s love is hard to describe in words.
