"That too is through connections, if it were someone else, they wouldn’t even get a meeting." Luo Yufeng looked at Zou Yaru with frustration and said, "Do you know how much money that jewelry store owned by the Gu Family makes in a year? And the house the Gu Family lives in, can our kind of building compare to that? It’s so grand!"
"If you could marry Gu Junhe, would you ever have to worry about not having good days ahead?" Luo Yufeng’s heart ached with anger, she was considering her daughter’s future, but why couldn’t her daughter understand her at all?
"Mom, are you trying to marry me off, or sell me off?"
Zou Yaru didn’t like Luo Yufeng’s attitude, she pursed her lips and said, "I like Cheng Hao, I’ve already decided that I want to be with him."
From her childhood, she had always been pampered; the more Luo Yufeng opposed, the more she felt that Cheng Hao was good.
Although they had known each other for only a short time, Cheng Hao treated her sincerely, his fondness was obvious in his eyes, but it didn’t make her feel disgusted.
Luo Yufeng called her name out in full, preaching to Zou Yaru for half an hour, but Zou Yaru didn’t seem to take any of it in, she said, "Come with me to South City tomorrow."
"I won’t go," Zou Yaru refused, "Mom, you’re going to South City for business, you might not come back even during the Lantern Festival, I still have classes, I’m not going."
"Then you must not go see that man." Luo Yufeng urgently warned, she used to be most confident about her daughter, but now, looking at her daughter’s pretty face, she felt insecure again, a good girl fears a persistent suitor, who knew what that man might resort to?
"Mom, I have a lot to deal with."
Zou Yaru didn’t directly answer Luo Yufeng, she only said, "Just go to South City at ease, I promise I won’t do anything to disgrace you."
"That’s more like it." Thinking of how Zou Yaru had been obedient and well-behaved since childhood, Luo Yufeng felt assured that she wouldn’t do anything embarrassing, but she still repeatedly reminded Zou Yaru not to go see that Cheng Hao or Li Hao.
The next day, Luo Yufeng brought Zou Yashi over, repeatedly telling Zou Yashi to keep a close eye on Zou Yaru, to not let her be deceived by any man.
"Auntie, don’t worry, I’ll move in today." Zou Yashi was now working at an organization, and she lived alone in the county, this was just right, staying with Yaru.
"Yashi, I trust you the most."
Luo Yufeng thought that with Zou Yashi around, the two cousins together, with Zou Yashi watching out, nothing unexpected would happen, so she went to South City with peace of mind.
Yaru’s father was in South City, and hadn’t come back for years; if it weren’t for returning to tend to his seriously ill wife, she wouldn’t be able to stay in the county either. Now, with her mother’s health improving, Luo Yufeng’s heart flew off to South City; she had to keep an eye on Yaru’s dad, in case some vixen took an interest in him, she wouldn’t even have time to cry.
"Yaru, do you really want to be with Cheng Hao? Isn’t it too soon?" Zou Yashi still found it hard to believe, the time they had been together was so short, how could they have decided to be together just after the new year?
Zou Yaru smiled and said, "Sister Yashi, what’s wrong with him? Why shouldn’t I be with him? Do you remember the incident before the new year when my bag was stolen? He helped me get it back, plus, his personality is also very good, he’s sincere and generous to people, and he currently has a stable job driving and delivering goods for Good Mom Food Factory, I think it’s really good."
