Chu Yu smiled and calmly ordered a coffee for Mao Xia.
Chu Yu took a sip of coffee. She seemed quite familiar with coffee shops. Mao Xia felt that there was something different about Chu Yu, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
Mao Xia smiled. "Chu Yu, can you accept my apology? After coming to Gangcheng, I didn't have any relatives with me, and I realized how precious family is. Yesterday, when I saw you on the street, you have no idea how happy I was. I really wanted to go up and say hello to you. But I'm working at a convenience store now, and my income is very average. I was afraid that you would know I'm not doing well, so I didn't dare to acknowledge you. I struggled with this all night before I decided to acknowledge you."
Chu Yu smiled meaningfully, her gaze sweeping over Mao Xia. "Really? You saw me yesterday?"
"Yes, I saw you walking on the street with your aunt and I didn't recognize you at first. I was afraid that your aunt wouldn't like me. After all, I didn't help much when your aunt got divorced, and my mother didn't stand on your aunt's side or speak up for her."
Chu Yu wasn't in a hurry to argue. Sometimes, a person's nature isn't so easy to change.
Mao Xia's true colors are dark, and Chu Yu knows this person, so she naturally won't let her guard down.
Chu Yu remained silent, which made Mao Xia a little anxious. She didn't know whether Chu Yu believed her or not.
"Chu Yu, I apologize to my aunt for my mother's rudeness and ignorance. You are all my relatives now. Please don't push me away. Really, I'm so lonely in Hong Kong." Mao Xia's eyes were filled with tears as she took Chu Yu's arm and said sincerely, "Chu Yu, I was wrong about what happened before. Will you still accept me? Will you still treat me as family?"
Chu Yu raised an eyebrow and smiled, saying, "If you correct it, I will naturally do so."
"Great! I knew you weren't the heartless type!"
As they were talking, Mao Xia seemed to have suddenly encountered an acquaintance and waved to the woman not far away.
"Sister Hua!" she said apologetically to Chu Yu, "Chu Yu, I ran into someone I know. Sister Hua is my boss at the convenience store. She's been good to me, so I had to say hello to her. You don't mind if I bring one more person, do you?"
Chu Yu naturally didn't mind; she wanted to see what Mao Xia wanted to do with this Sister Hua.
Sister Hua was wearing a green floral shirt and a headband. She looked quite neat and tidy, but her bright red lipstick and red fingers made her look like a cannibalistic witch, which was rather frightening.
Sister Hua wiggled her hips as she came over and sat down next to Mao Xia, facing Chu Yu.
The moment Sister Hua saw Chu Yu, she stared at him with wide eyes, as if she had discovered something new, and clicked her tongue in amazement:
"Mao Xia, where did you meet this girl? She's really beautiful, so pretty, innocent, and radiant. I don't know how to describe it. You know, there are only so many facial features, so how come some people's features look so strange when put together, while others seem to be the darlings of the Creator, so beautiful!"
Li Jinchao had mentioned Sister Hua, so Chu Yu naturally knew who Sister Hua was. Chu Yu also knew that Sister Hua was from Xinyi City, which was Longcheng's home turf.
Chu Yu smiled faintly and greeted Sister Hua, "Hello."
Sister Hua could tell from Chu Yu's demeanor that this girl was no ordinary person. Ordinary girls didn't have this kind of aura, and her appearance was not something that an ordinary man could control! To be honest, Sister Hua didn't know Chu Yu's background and didn't dare to make a move rashly, for fear of kicking a hornet's nest. However, Mao Xia had repeatedly assured Sister Hua that Chu Yu was just from the mainland and had no background in Hong Kong.
Therefore, Sister Hua naturally set her sights on Chu Yu, who had no background whatsoever!
"Mao Xia, your friend is so beautiful. Why don't you bring her back to our place so she can hang out with everyone, have a cup of tea, and get to know us?"
Mao Xia nodded excitedly, "I understand, Sister Hua, I was just thinking of taking her back. Chu Yu, it's rare for us to meet. Once you go back to the mainland, we won't have a chance to meet anymore. Why don't you come over to our place for a drink? I'll introduce you to my friends."
Chu Yu was about to refuse when Mao Xia grabbed her arm. "Don't refuse, let's get to know each other. Would I lie to you?"
