Chapter 309 Have you been lying to us for the past six months?
"What should we do? My bank has been robbed. It's too late for you to say anything now!" Su Yuchen joked as he looked at Su's father's frightened eyes. Zhao Xiaojing couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth.
"Don't talk nonsense! Tell me honestly, what were those controversial photos you posted a while ago, with a few men and women in black and white clothes? Were you following them in doing some illegal propaganda?" When Su's father said this, Su's mother immediately thought of Su Yuchen's circle of friends and pulled Su Yuchen with a serious face.
"Oh, I didn't block you?" Su Yuchen's smile froze and he blurted out.
Su's mother was talking about a group photo with several members of the band in her circle of friends. The "people with different opinions" was the name of their band. Su Yuchen was stunned. She remembered that she had blocked her parents and colleagues.
"What photo? What is she promoting?" Father Su was confused. Mother Su glared at him and gave him a look to shut up.
"What are those people doing? Where did you get all this money?" Su's mother turned around and continued to ask Su Yuchen.
Seeing that Su's father and mother had no unified answer, Su Yuchen looked at Su's mother suspiciously, "Tell me how you saw it first, and I'll tell you where the money came from."
"You idiot! You're blocking me and your dad, and you think you're right? I saw it from your cousin!"
"Why did she block us? What did you send?" Su's father asked in confusion.
"Oh, tell me quickly, where did the money come from!" Su's mother interrupted Su's father and glared at Su Yuchen.
"I made money from running the store! The restaurant was opened by me and Mirror together!"
"Opened it together? Can you cook?" Father Su was very surprised.
"You're not at work? Didn't Xiaojing's restaurant open half a year ago? Have you been lying to us for the past six months? Or are you lying to us now?" Su's mother immediately grasped the key point.
Su Yuchen froze instantly, scratching her hair and touching her nose helplessly, looking around. Zhao Xiaojing saw Su's mother looking at her, and hurriedly turned her eyes away and continued to stare at the TV.
"Yes! Aren't you at work? Why did you go to open the store again? Don't you always say you just got off work every time I call you?" Father Su asked, patting his head.
"Oh~ Don't worry about these details~ Look at you, didn't you just say that I was not good at my job and that Jingzi should open a restaurant? Now it's just right, you don't have to worry about me." Su Yuchen said with a stiff face.
"How can this be the same thing?" Mother Su said angrily, "Your father and I worry about you every day at home, but you didn't tell us something as big as your job change? If I hadn't asked you today, how long would you have kept it a secret?"
"What do you mean? You quit your previous job without telling us and now you're opening a restaurant?" Father Su didn't react.
"I wanted to tell you before, but when I said Xiaojing opened a restaurant, you said it was nonsense. You didn't believe anything I said. If I said I would open one with you, you would rush to Jiangcheng and skin me alive, right?" Su Yuchen argued confidently.
"Oh, didn't we know that before? You never told me Xiaojing could cook, and now you're suddenly saying you're going to the provincial capital to open a restaurant and make hundreds of thousands? How can your father and I believe that?" Su's mother glared at Su Yuchen fiercely, then hesitated and looked at Zhao Xiaojing. "Xiaojing, Chenzi can't cook either. If she opens a restaurant with you, isn't she just taking advantage of you..."
"Auntie, don't say that. Suozi can't cook, but apart from cooking, she does everything else. You can't open a store just by knowing how to cook. I can only cook. The rest of the work, such as dealing with others, entertaining customers, and doing the accounts, are all done by Suozi. At that time, I didn't have enough funds to open the store, and it was she who took out her own money, so we were able to rent a storefront, renovate it, and open it." Zhao Xiaojing hurriedly explained.
"Really?" Su's mother gradually relaxed her brows.
"She has this ability?" Father Su, confused, finally caught up with the rhythm.
"Why would I lie to you! I am one of her founding fathers. This two hundred thousand is not fake. This is the first time I have earned so much. Now I give it all to you!" Su Yuchen said angrily.
Su's mother's brows finally relaxed, and she glanced at her with a slight smile on her lips, "Are you really giving it to me?"
"I really give it to you! Are you happy?" Su Yuchen asked expectantly.
"Don't be arrogant when you win and don't be discouraged when you lose! Don't show off just because you make a little money." Father Su pretended to be serious. Although he didn't fully understand, the raised corners of his mouth betrayed his mood.
Mother Su lowered her head and glanced at the text message balance. After a long while, she finally answered. When she spoke, she choked up a little. "I'm happy. My daughter is doing well. Isn't she exhausted from running the store?"
How could a mother not be happy when her own daughter gave her 200,000 yuan? She had said that before, but in her heart she just wanted Su Yuchen to live a stable and comfortable life, with no worries about food and clothing. But now that she knew how much Su Yuchen had earned and done, and remembered what Su Yuchen had said before about how difficult it was for Zhao Xiaojing to run a store, Su's mother felt distressed again, and her eyes couldn't help but tear up.
"I'm not tired, I'm fine!" Su Yuchen saw that Su's mother's eyes were red, and her nose felt a little sore for a moment. She finally held back her tears and smiled freely.
"What about the illegal advertising you just mentioned?" Seeing that the mother and daughter had agreed, Su's father turned around and asked Su Yuchen.
"Oh, that's right! Who are those people? Why are they dressed so strangely? You can't go out and make friends just because we can't see you!" When Mother Su was interrupted by Father Su, her tears instantly shrank back and her mind became clear instantly.
Su Yuchen looked at her father as if she had seen a ghost. Her father didn't even understand what was going on, but why did he have such a good memory?
"What do you mean by weird? That's the makeup we put on for Halloween. Halloween is the Western ghost festival, and we have to put on exaggerated makeup when we go out to play, do you understand?" Su Yuchen avoided the point and talked about something else.
"Celebrating that Western festival..."
"Oh, I think you look pretty spooky without makeup!"
Su's father and mother were successfully fooled.
Zhao Xiaojing, who was standing by, watched with a smile, feeling happy for Su Yuchen and feeling gentle inside.
Her father had died as long as she could remember, and she had never had any male elders involved in her life growing up. Her mother was everything. Although her mother never mentioned it, her relatives on her mother's side always scolded her father and his cold-blooded relatives since she was a child.
Later, her mother passed away and she lived alone. Occasionally, when she went to her third aunt's house, she would always see her third aunt and sister Yanyan. The two generations and two families were in chaos.
As a result, she naturally had no expectations for married life. She had a hasty and perfunctory marriage in her previous life, and she had no imagination of a complete and happy family, so she had no expectations.
But if she had imagined it, it was probably what Su Yuchen's family looked like now.
Although Su's parents had the stubbornness of their elder generation and lectured and scolded Su Yuchen, unlike Aunt San's oppression, they gave Su Yuchen more freedom to choose his own path and showed him respect. Although Su Yuchen would talk back, he never acted out of turn, crossing the line between his parents and him. The family was always harmonious and caring for each other.
