Chapter 78: Chapter 78: Have You Accepted Me?
Chapter 78 -78: Have You Accepted Me?
“You really don’t need to agonize over this, just stand on the side of reason,” Zhou Shuyan said. “If Lu Youxi is being unreasonable, you don’t have to side with her, and she won’t blame you. But if she’s in the right and someone else is being unreasonable, no matter who that person is, even if it’s your wife, it’s not right for you to handle it unjustly. As long as you stand with reason, you won’t make a mistake.”
So, the entire matter was indeed Lu Zhenjia’s fault through and through, and Lu Zhenguo really didn’t need to fret.
Lu Zhenguo nodded. Upon hearing Zhou Shuyan’s words, Lu Zhenguo felt like that was indeed the case—it wasn’t actually hard to choose.
Inwards, Zhou Shuyan thought it seemed simple, but what’s most important is not to be swayed by emotions.
But that was precisely the hardest part.
“However…” Lu Zhenguo suddenly became serious, “why don’t you call Youxi’s mom ‘Mother-in-law’ or ‘Mom’? Why keep saying ‘my wife,’ making us feel like strangers?”
Zhou Shuyan: “…”
In his mind, Zhou Shuyan thought, you think you can stump me with that?
Immediately, Zhou Shuyan put on a surprised expression, his eyes shining as he looked at Lu Zhenguo, “Does this mean you’ve accepted me?”
Lu Zhenguo: “…”
He wasn’t sure whether he was still reluctant to accept Zhou Shuyan or if it was the shimmering look in a grown man’s eyes that made his scalp tingle and caused goosebumps to form, making him uncomfortable.
In any case, he was at a loss for words, his mouth opening and closing without being able to utter a single word of agreement.
“Dinnertime!” At that moment, Liu Yushu came in smiling, carrying dishes, with Lu Youxi following behind her.
Lu Zhenguo heaved a sigh of relief. Their timing was impeccable, thankfully dodging the issue.
Zhou Shuyan’s gaze was oddly unsettling.
However, he hadn’t expected Zhou Shuyan to be so keen on gaining their approval.
“By the way, I’ll go call Youxue over.” Liu Yushu remembered that Lu Youxue was probably still in his room.
Before she finished speaking, Lu Youxue appeared.
“I was just about to call you. Come over for dinner now,” Liu Yushu hurriedly beckoned to Lu Youxue.
Lu Youxue sat down next to Lu Youxi.
“Today, I didn’t know you guys would be back for dinner, so I only made two dishes for the three of us,” Liu Yushu explained. “I’ve just quickly whipped up two more simple dishes that could be done in a hurry, so it’s a bit simple. Next time you come over, make sure to let me know in advance so I can cook something delicious for you.”
“Okay,” Lu Youxi nodded in agreement.
“However, now that this matter is resolved, Youxi, are you going to move back in or continue to…” Liu Yushu said.
“I’ll stay a few more days, then come back to live here for a couple of days before going to Imperial Capital. Otherwise, moving back in today would just give certain people something to gossip about—they’d think I really did set a trap for the Lu Family,” Lu Youxi said.
“That makes sense,” Liu Yushu felt a bit downcast—Lu Youxi still couldn’t move back in.
Lu Zhenguo: “…”
Hearing Lu Youxi say this, he felt even more as though it was all a setup for the Lu Family.
“It’s perfect that I’ll come back and stay for a few days before I leave. I can also explain it as wanting to spend more time with you all, so no one can criticize,” Lu Youxi had already thought things through.
Lu Zhenguo: “…”
“By the way, Xu Mai,” Liu Yushu called out.
Zhou Shuyan swallowed a mouthful of rice, “Yes?”
“You were called Xu Mai because of your amnesia, so it was temporary,” Liu Yushu said gently. “But Youxi mentioned you’ve remembered a lot, and the police have also verified your identity,” she continued with tenderness. “Since you have a name, it doesn’t seem right to keep calling you by a temporary one. What’s your real name?”
Lu Youxi, worried that Zhou Shuyan might find it inconvenient to reveal his identity, was about to look for an excuse on his behalf.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Shuyan smiled openly and nodded, “My real name is Zhou Shuyan.”
“What a nice name, much better than Xu Mai,” Liu Yushu exclaimed in admiration. “It sounds like it was given by someone very cultured.”
“It was given by my father,” Zhou Shuyan’s expression grew even gentler as he mentioned his father.
“What does your father do?” Lu Zhenguo asked.
Someone who could give such a nice name couldn’t be too shabby, he thought.
“He’s just an ordinary company employee, doing business under someone,” Zhou Shuyan said.
His father had indeed joined the company as an ordinary employee, right?
And he certainly did do business under his grandfather.
He wasn’t lying.
“How old are you? You don’t look very old,” Liu Yushu inquired further.
Zhou Shuyan’s age was only guessed based on his appearance since he had lost his memory and nobody knew his actual age.
“I’m 25,” Zhou Shuyan said. “And before this, I was just an ordinary company employee.”
Lu Youxi listened as he hoodwinked her parents.
Could an ordinary company employee have an aura that even pressured her, who had once been a CEO?
Could an ordinary company employee have been so severely injured and collapsed by the roadside?
“Ordinary is good, ordinary is very good,” Liu Yushu breathed a sigh of relief. She had really been worried that Zhou Shuyan’s family background was too affluent, and Lu Youxi was out of her league.
Although Lu Youxi was outstanding, their family… their family was dragging her down.
These days, Zhou Shuyan had seen how much of a handful the Lu Family’s elders and the household of Lu Zhenjia could be.
Even if Lu Zhenguo declared that he’d forget them from now on, it’s not possible to completely sever ties.
Aside from the troublesome family, she and Lu Zhenguo were just ordinary farmers, and there was probably a significant gap between them and city folks.
Lu Zhenguo always felt that after Lu Youxi got into Jing University, she would meet many talented people and believed that Zhou Shuyan wasn’t good enough for Lu Youxi.
But Liu Yushu was thinking further ahead.
She was worried that Zhou Shuyan’s family might approve of Lu Youxi but not of them.
“By the way, is your family from… the local area of Imperial Capital?” Liu Yushu asked again.
“Yes,” Zhou Shuyan nodded.
A single yes made Liu Yushu’s worries fully resurface.
Just being locals of Imperial Capital was already a huge gap for them.
Ever since Lu Youbang went to Jing University, Ge Guifen bragged to them every day about Lu Youbang’s experiences in Imperial Capital.
She said that even a billboard falling in Imperial Capital could hit many important figures.
She claimed that the person brushing past you might just be some official.
She talked about how even a suburban house in Imperial Capital costs millions, or close to ten million.
She mentioned that just one spot in an Imperial Capital household registration book is worth hundreds of thousands.
She didn’t know how much of an exaggeration these statements were, but they were certainly miles apart from their own circumstances.
“What does your mother do?” Liu Yushu asked.
“My mother is an ordinary housewife,” Zhou Shuyan answered patiently.
Liu Yushu: “…”
Being a full-time wife indicated that Zhou Shuyan’s father earned enough to support the family.
Liu Yushu struggled to ask, “You see, Youxi’s dad and I are just ordinary farmers, and there’s quite a big difference between our situation and yours, right? Do your parents know you’re marrying Youxi? Have they… said anything?”
