Chapter 27 Pick-up
The food was placed on the table, with more than ten dishes filling up the small table.
Su Yu handed the bowl and chopsticks to Lin You and complained dissatisfiedly.
"I asked you to bring your colleagues over, but you refused. Look at this table full of food, how can the two of us finish it?"
Lin You smiled faintly, "I've already told you that they're here for work. Their schedule is packed, so how can they have time to come and enjoy our home-cooked meals?"
Su Yu sighed, "Okay, work is important, I understand. Your colleagues are also working hard on this weekend."
Lin You concentrated on eating, knowing that she could only stay for one day. Ms. Su Yu cooked almost all of her favorite foods, so there were so many dishes.
Asking her to call a colleague was just an excuse for Ms. Su to cover up this action.
Ms. Su has always been tough on the outside but soft on the inside.
Lin You was used to it and didn't expose it.
"By the way, bring some local specialties to Xiao Cheng when you go back." Su Yu chatted while eating.
Lin You paused and curled his lips, "That's not necessary."
"Why not?" Su Yu rolled her eyes at her. "It's nice to be polite. It's a rare trip for you to Licheng, so you should bring something back."
Lin You rolled his eyes and joked, "I will bring back Ms. Su Yu's full love!"
"Smooth talk!"
Su Yu pretended to hit her head, but Lin You anticipated it and dodged it easily.
They were almost done with the meal, and Lin You asked casually, pretending to be indifferent.
"Mom, did your uncle tell you about Cheng Hao's financial situation?"
Su Yu frowned slightly when he heard this.
"Why, do you still want to be picky about the rich? Let me tell you, with our family's conditions, we have no right to be picky about others. Even if Xiao Cheng's family conditions are not good, you can't look down on him."
After a pause, she added, "Besides, your uncle introduced it, so I trust him."
It seems that Su Yu doesn't know the truth about Cheng Hao.
Lin You chuckled, "How dare I look down on others? I'm just afraid that they will look down on me. I've met Cheng Hao a few times and I feel that he has a good financial situation and seems to be a big businessman."
Su Yu was stunned. "How big can it be? Your uncle and Xiao Cheng's father were comrades-in-arms."
"Your uncle said that when Xiao Cheng's father first came to the city, he patched up his shoes over and over again, and he was reluctant to throw them away even when they were in a terrible state."
"At that time, Xiao Cheng was still in college. It was said that his grades were excellent, he received scholarships every year, and he also invented many patents."
The two chatted for a while and almost finished their meal.
Lin You helped Ms. Su clean up the table. They put the leftovers that could be put into the refrigerator in the refrigerator and threw away the ones that could not.
Lin You: "That was many years ago. Maybe they've become rich now?"
Su Yu sealed the bowl with plastic wrap and said, "It's possible. After all, Xiao Cheng is very good."
Lin You asked tentatively, "Mom, if Cheng Hao's family is extremely rich now, would you still agree with me being with him?"
Su Yu closed the refrigerator door and went to wash the dishes.
"That depends on how rich he is. After all, marriage is about living together, and living together is about daily trivialities. It's impossible to live a lifetime based solely on the feelings of a man and a woman."
"When affection fades and the gap between the rich and the poor becomes too wide, different concepts and habits will form, which will lead to various conflicts."
Su Yu turned around and smiled at Lin You who was following her closely:
"So, the wisdom accumulated by our ancestors over thousands of years is about marrying someone of equal social status."
Lin You felt relieved in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.
After all, she and Cheng Hao had only agreed to pretend to be together, and sooner or later they would tell everyone the truth.
She gave Ms. Su Yu a heads-up in advance to leave a way out for the future.
"If Xiao Cheng comes from a wealthy family, I believe in his character and you will definitely have a good life in the future. But if his family is the kind that we can't even dream of, then we really have to think about it again."
After Su Yu finished speaking, she seemed to feel a little uneasy. "Your cousin will be back during the Mid-Autumn Festival. I will go to him and ask him then."
Lin You didn't stop her. There were some things that she would only believe after Ms. Su personally confirmed them.

The weekend was only two days long, so Lin You only rested for one night and set off back to Jinggang City the next day.
She came back because she was worried about Ms. Su, but even though Ms. Su sprained her ankle, she was still busy running around and didn't let her help with the work at all.
She seemed to be going back to enjoy herself.
When Lin You left, Su Yu stuffed a big bag of local specialties into her pocket. She couldn't resist and had to carry all the bags onto the high-speed train.
Shortly after the high-speed train departed, Lin You received a call from Cheng Hao.
"Auntie Su said you'll arrive at 2:30. I'll pick you up at the exit later."
Lin You coughed awkwardly, "I'm sorry, I didn't know my mom was bothering you..."
Cheng Hao's voice was calm and clear, and he smiled faintly, "What kind of trouble is this? I don't have to work on weekends, so I'm free. Besides, Aunt Su said she asked you to bring me some local specialties, and I actually came here to pick them up."
His two jokes made the atmosphere a little more relaxed.
Lin You no longer refused. She thought of Shi Jingyuan's matter and decided to ask Cheng Hao for help.
*
The station was bustling with people, and the passengers getting off the train surged towards the exit like a tide.
Lin You was carrying a lot of bags and squeezed into the crowd. With her petite figure, she was squeezed so hard that she couldn't stand steadily several times.
But from beginning to end, she had a peaceful expression on her face. Even when she was bumped into, she remained soft and not angry.
Cheng Hao stood in the distance and saw her in the crowd at a glance.
He walked forward quickly, took the bags from her hands, and reminded her, "Follow me."
He was tall and walked in front, like a heavy sharp blade cutting through the crowd.
Lin You followed him and quickly left the crowded departure hall.
He led her to the parking lot and put the bags into the trunk of the car.
Lin You stood by and glanced at the logo on the front of the car, his eyes unconsciously darkened.
A car that costs several million dollars is not affordable for an ordinary family.
The local specialties that Ms. Su brought him might not even be enough to cover the gas money for this trip.
She got in the passenger seat and fastened her seat belt.
Cheng Hao drove the car out of the garage and paid close attention to the road conditions.
While waiting for the traffic light, he turned around and glanced at Lin You, "Xiao You, can I call you that? I'm afraid it might come across as strange and I might blurt it out when I face my elders."
Lin You nodded, "Okay, then I'll call you next time..."
Seeing her hesitant for a long time, Cheng Hao smiled and said, "Just call me by my name."
"Yeah, that's fine."
Lin You responded, his slender fingers grasping the seat belt, black and white
She hesitated to speak several times, which made Cheng Hao smile.
"Xiaoyou, is there anything I can help you with?"
"Yeah." Lin You raised her eyes, but didn't look at him. She just looked at the road ahead. "There's a male colleague in the company..."
She thought about the wording, not quite sure how to describe it.
Shi Jingyuan didn't pursue her or harass her, he just showed a little interest in her.
Cheng Hao was so smart, "I understand. He has feelings for you, but you don't want to accept them. So you want me to be your boyfriend and let him know that you're already taken?"
