Boy B: "This is outrageous. Lu Youxi wore her wedding ring right after school started, right? How long has it been since school started? Her husband just bought her a wedding ring? And he bought her a wedding ring at a jewelry store? I can't even tell which one is more outrageous."

Lu Xiaohui put down her chopsticks with a sullen face, "What does this have to do with them?"

"I'm done eating." Lu Youxi stood up and picked up the plate.

Lu Xiaohui and the other two thought that Lu Youxi was upset because he heard the gossip from the back table, so they were about to follow him, but they saw Lu Youxi standing next to the back table with a tray.

The people at the back table were talking when they noticed someone suddenly standing at the table. They turned around and found it was Lu Youxi. They were stunned and even a little embarrassed.

I was just gossiping and the person to whom it belongs heard it!

"I did buy my wedding ring at the small jewelry store on the street next to the school." Lu Youxi said, holding out his hand for them to see the ring, "You can look closely at the pattern."

Everyone: “…”

They didn't know how to respond.

"My husband and I went to a jewelry store that day to buy his wedding ring, because I only bought mine and wore it first." Lu Youxi added.

Not to mention those classmates, even Lu Xiaohui and the other two were shocked.

"Is Youxi here just to answer their questions and resolve their doubts?" Lu Xiaohui said in a low voice.

"Sincerity is always the ultimate skill." Xia Jinqiao whispered, "Look, they are all speechless."

Lu Youxi shrugged nonchalantly, "We are not well off financially, so we can't afford expensive things. Anyway, it's enough for one of us to wear it to show that we are married."

Lu Youxi smiled at them in a friendly manner and left with the plate.

It took the students at the back desk a long time to come back to their senses.

Boy A: "Didn't I hear that Lu Youxi made money by speculating in stocks? He also made money with his classmates."

Girl B: "Making money from stock trading is not stable after all, and you can't make money every time. Doesn't she still have student loans to pay off?"

Boy B: "Yeah, and he has a younger brother who also has to go to school."

At this moment, Lu Xiaohui and the other two all thought of the Internet cafe opened by Lu Youxi and the advanced machines in it.

At the same time, Lu Youxi's words "We are both not well off financially" echoed in my ears...

The three of them shook their heads and quickly took the plates to look for Lu Youxi.

On the way to the classroom, the four of them met Lin Jingshen walking with his roommate.

Seeing Lu Youxi, Lin Jingshen just glanced at him calmly and said nothing.

Although he had a crush on Lu Youxi, Lin Jingshen was a prominent figure in Peking University after all, and he would not cling to a married woman.

Moreover, sooner or later Lu Youxi will regret marrying such a person.

Lu Youxi ignored him. In Lu Youxi's eyes, Lin Jingshen was just an idiot.

After finishing all the classes, Lu Youxi hurried to the mall to buy a set of decent and appropriate clothes suitable for meeting her parents and her age, and went straight home.

Then he sent a text message to Zhou Shuyan, saying that he would change the trip to start from her home.

Didn’t she tell her classmates that she was not well off?

The clothes in the mall are not cheap and are not suitable to take back to school.

Lu Youxi also told Liu Yusu not to prepare dinner for her and Zhou Shuyan.

When Liu Yushu heard this, she was very happy and asked hurriedly, "Are you two going on a date?"

Lu Youxi explained: "Let's go and follow him..."

Halfway through his speech, Lu Youxi immediately stopped talking and quickly changed the topic, "I'm going to have a meal with my mother-in-law. She's recovered from her illness, and I haven't visited her yet. I can't wait until tomorrow."

"Yes, tomorrow the parents of both sides will meet, which is different from you visiting her alone." Lu Zhenguo expressed his understanding.

Zhou Shuyan was waiting for her at the gate of the community. There was heavy traffic on the road at that time.

Lu Youxi did not let Zhou Shuyan take a taxi, and the two of them took the subway several times.

In order to avoid being exposed, Zhou Shuyan specially booked a restaurant outside and also gave Xu Jingmin some instructions.

Lu Youxi was relieved to find out that they were not going to Zhou Shuyan's home.

As for which restaurant to book, Zhou Shuyan specifically told Yu Zeqin to choose a restaurant with a nice environment, moderate prices, and that would not be too stressful for office workers to visit occasionally.

Yu Zeqin: “…”

You've really stumped me, your assistant.

Although he is an assistant, he earns a good income. He stays at home most of the time and rarely eats out except for business dinners.

So Yu Zeqin went to consult colleagues from other departments.

As a result, there are rumors in the company that Yu Zeqin has started dating.

In order to leave a good impression on Xu Jingmin, Lu Youxi and Zhou Shuyan arrived early.

Xu Jingmin was very punctual and entered the restaurant's private room at 17:59.

When Lu Youxi saw Xu Jingmin, he was stunned for a moment.

She really didn't expect Xu Jingmin to look so young.

She had asked Zhou Shuyan how many years older Xu Jingmin was than Liu Yusu.

But she looks much younger than Liu Yusu.

Not only was she younger than Liu Yusu, she also looked younger than many aunties of similar age to Xu Jingmin that she had met in the capital.

Thinking that Xu Jingmin knew about her and Zhou Shuyan's situation, Lu Youxi was too embarrassed to call her "Mom". She stood up and called out nervously, "Auntie."

When Xu Jingmin saw Lu Youxi, her eyes lit up, she walked up quickly, and said with a smile, "Call me mom, so you don't get caught."

Lu Youxi was caught off guard by Xu Jingmin's direct words.

It feels really different to call Liu Yusu and Lu Zhenguo "grandma" and to call her "mom" in front of Xu Jingmin.

Lu Youxi was a little at a loss for words.

But seeing Xu Jingmin smiling brightly and her eyes clear and bright, one can't help but want to get close to her.

"Mom." Lu Youxi called out with a red face.

She didn't quite understand. Xu Jingmin knew clearly that her relationship with Zhou Shuyan was fake, but still asked her to call her mom.

It was not until she called out "Mom" that Lu Youxi suddenly felt a sour and warm feeling in her heart.

In her previous life, Lin's mother was the second person she called "Mom" besides her own mother.

At first she was sincere, but Lin's mother didn't care and even felt embarrassed to be called that.

But the relationship between them forced Lu Youxi to call her that, and Lin's mother had to listen to her.

Later, Lu Youxi simply regarded the name "Mom" as a code name, without any emotion.

But sometimes I feel sad and think that it is an insult to the word "mom".

But now, looking at Xu Jingmin's beautiful and unusually gentle face, and seeing her visibly genuine happiness after hearing him call her "Mom", Lu Youxi felt as if a little sun was planted in his heart, basking in its warmth.

"Hey!" Xu Jingmin nodded happily, "I'll call you that from now on."
