Chapter 190 Come to visit
Xu Youyou was even more confused. She had known that the family of three was coming, but were they coming now just to enjoy the snow? They hadn't been at home for years?
What’s worse, the first snow of the year hasn’t even started falling yet.
Lu Jingyao and his father and mother were standing in the yard at this time, and there were people accompanying them who were moving large and small bags down from the car.
"I think the east wall needs to be repaired, or at least raised a little. It's too short now. Someone who is slightly taller can get in just by turning over." Father Lu pointed at the wall.
Mother Lu said, "There are still too few flowers in the yard. The flower beds need to be trimmed. When all the flowers bloom in spring, the children will be so happy to be bathed in the fragrance of flowers every day."
Lu Jingyao said helplessly: "Mom and Dad, this is not our home. How to repair it is the director's business."
Mother Lu rolled her eyes at her son and said, "You're the only one who talks too much. You nag every day like a housekeeper. I mean well. Only a good environment can make the children happy every day. Am I wrong?"
Lu Jingyao: ...
Father Lu hurried to comfort his wife: "He's a grown man, but he's been pursuing someone for half a year without any progress. You should understand that an old virgin is full of resentment."
Lu Jingyao:!!!
Xu Youyou paused and didn't dare to move any closer for a moment. She seemed to have just heard something extraordinary.
As soon as Mrs. Lu turned around, she noticed Xu Youyou's arrival. The corners of her mouth, which were originally drooping, instantly performed a Sichuan Opera face-changing on the spot.
"Ms. Xu, it's been a long time since we last met. You're even more beautiful than last time." Mother Lu said enthusiastically.
Xu Youyou's face showed a hint of doubt at the right moment: "Auntie, we... don't seem to have met before..."
Mother Lu was embarrassed for only a second, then immediately said, "Jingyao's father and I met Miss Xu at the Lu family's dinner party on Linhuai Road. It's just that there were so many people around that we didn't have time to say hello."
Father Lu nodded with a smile: "Ms. Xu is quick to speak. At that time, you said just a few words..."
Before Mr. Lu could finish his words, his face suddenly twisted. He slowly turned his head and looked at his wife's hand tightly twisted on his arm, and silently swallowed the words he was about to say.
Mother Lu smiled and said, "On such a beautiful day, don't mention those who made Miss Xu unhappy."
Xu Youyou felt warm in her heart. Lu Jingyao had a somewhat cold temper, but his parents seemed quite approachable.
Dean He, as Xu Youyou's elder, came out a step late. After being introduced by the two young people, she exchanged a few words with Lu's parents and then turned to look at Lu Jingyao with burning eyes.
Dean He is also an experienced person. It is normal for her to accompany her parents to visit Huangshan, but before the New Year, she brought her parents to visit and brought so many gifts. She can naturally see what Lu Jingyao is thinking.
"What does Mr. Lu do for a living? How do you know our Youyou?" Dean He didn't pay much attention to the Internet, so naturally she didn't recognize Lu Jingyao's well-known face. At this moment, she was like an ordinary parent, caring about her child's friends.
It's just that the strange look on his face and the admiration in his eyes that couldn't be concealed made it seem like he was looking at his son-in-law.
Mother Lu casually said, "This kid is just running a small business, barely making ends meet. It seems the two kids met at work and have some business dealings."
Xu Youyou widened her eyes slightly. Mother Lu was being too modest. If Lu Jingyao ran a small business, then what were others?
Dean He nodded after hearing this, thinking that Xu Youyou was doing quite a big business now, and Lu Jingyao had business dealings with her, so most likely their business scale was similar, so he was worthy of Xu Youyou.
"It's not easy for young people to start a business nowadays. Not losing money is already a success. Mr. Lu is very promising if he can make money. This is also thanks to you two who are good at raising your son. You have raised your son so well."
When Mother Lu heard the praise for her son's upbringing, a proud smile appeared on her face. She said, "Dean He, please stop calling him Mr. Lu. That's too flattering. Just call him Little Lu."
Dean He didn't think there was anything wrong with this address and said directly, "Youyou, Xiao Lu and his parents have come all the way here, so don't just stand in the yard. Hurry and bring them inside for some tea."
Xu Youyou looked at Lu Jingyao's expression and saw that he accepted the name "Xiao Lu" well, so she led the family of three into the house with confidence.
The tea in the orphanage was not very good. The tea stems were too thick, there were too many broken tea leaves, and the tea leaves were too large. It was completely inferior to the expensive tea that the Lu family usually drank.
But none of them showed any disgust on their faces, but instead held the tea obediently and drank sip after sip.
Mother Lu could also tell that Dean He truly loved Xu Youyou, and she smiled and said, "When I first met Youyou, I thought she was an exceptional girl, independent, sunny, and confident. Now that I think about it, she's a lot like you, Dean."
Dean He was also quite proud of Xu Youyou's current achievements, but he still said goodbye and said, "This child was mainly taught by the previous dean when she was young. Thanks to her mother Xu's good teaching, I took care of more other children back then. If Xu Youyou's spirit in heaven saw how successful she is now, I don't know how happy she would be."
Mother Lu also sighed: "You and Dean Xu are both kind-hearted people, which is why you are truly loved by these children."
Dean He immediately became modest and said, "This is our job, and doing all this is natural. Actually, Youyou's success is because she's been smart since she was young."
"Other children want to improve their grades by enrolling them in tutoring classes or hiring private tutors. We don't have those facilities in our school. Her mother, Xu, and I don't know much about academic matters either."
"She was so pitiful back then. Whenever she encountered something she didn't understand, she would pester the teacher to ask questions. The teacher joked with me that he didn't even have time to rest during the entire break, not even to drink water, because he was so busy explaining the questions to her. It was because of this enthusiasm that she was able to go to a good university in Shanghai."
Probably all parents in the country have this common problem, they all like children who love to read and study. At this time, the Lu family's parents looked at Xu Youyou with even more appreciation.
Dean He was also very worldly-wise and asked about Lu Jingyao's situation.
"My son's college entrance exam scores allowed him to choose any university in China, but his grandfather went abroad for medical treatment at the time, and he was worried that outsiders wouldn't be able to take good care of him, so he followed him to study at a university abroad."
"We originally wanted him to continue his postgraduate studies abroad, but he had already achieved success in his business at that time, so we simply returned to China to develop his business." When Lu's mother talked about this, she could not hide the pride on her face.
Dean He's eyes lit up. She thought Lu Jingyao looked very smart, but she didn't expect that he was actually a top student.
She couldn't help but think that if the two young people could get together, the child they would have would definitely be a top student!
