UNEDITED
When Su Rui came down, she had changed into her mother’s new leisurewear.
With Su Rui’s continuous and subtle efforts, the style of bedroom prepared by her mother finally has a set of regular non-princessy appearance.
At that moment, comrade Su Hong Yuan, who had declined a friend’s get-together in the evening, returned home.
At the dinner table, before Su Rui could find a chance to complain to her father, he had mentioned it first.
“Daughter ah, I heard that you have passed the examination for 8 courses at the start of school. Well done!” Su Hong Yuan enquired as he looked at Su Rui with a proud and happy expression.
Heard?
Alright, she almost forgot that Father Su could get his daughter, who was an art major, directly into University B would have some tricks.
“Cough. Cough. They are all low scores.” Su Rui smiled embarrassedly.
Although there was an extraordinary external aid, the foundation of Su Rui was really weak.
Thus, in the eight courses, the highest score she attained was only 71 marks, and in another course was because the teacher felt that her attitude was good and generously gave her a pass.
Hearing this, Su Hong Yuan didn’t mind it.
“What about it? Since the school has stipulated that a pass is 60 marks, then it proves that you are a qualified student. Besides, my daughter has passed 8 courses at one time. Not bad, not bad!”
When he heard that his daughter was going to study economics and management, Su Hong Yuan was really moved.
However, being moved was one thing, he didn’t expect that Su Rui could learn well.
In addition, privately, other than looking for a teacher of economics and management, Su Hong Yuan actually entrusted a person to contact an art teacher. His thought was that when Su Rui was unable to cope with the economics and management course, he could transfer her to an art course.
Su Hong Yuan didn’t expect that Su Rui was actually serious about it.
While Father Su was very proud of his daughter, Mother Su, beside them, didn’t think that way.
“What number did you say? Eight courses? Did Rui Rui take eight exams in a week?” Liu Yue’s eyes widened and exclaimed. She looked at Su Hong Yuan and Su Rui for confirmation.
“My god, is your school crazy? School has just started. How can they arrange so many exams!” Liu Yue frowned and complained disapprovingly.
“No, there are only two tests at the start of school. The rest were make-up tests for the courses that I had missed.” Su Rui looked at her mother helplessly and calmly held her hand as she explained.
After all, most of the professional courses and theoretical courses of this major were mainly in the first and second year. Therefore, Su Rui’s courses weren’t just the tiniest bit.
Su Rui has her own considerations for the make-up examinations.
Even though the time was a little tight, she wasn’t sure whether she could pass. However, if she can get rid of one course, she will be able to take one less class.
This deal was worthwhile.
So, before school began, Su Rui didn’t hesitate and reported all the courses she could sign up for.
“Even if it’s to earn the credits, it can’t be done like this,” Liu Yue said as she glanced at Su Rui disapprovingly. Then looking at her daughter, her eyes were filled with distress, “No wonder you seemed a little absent-minded when you returned home.”
“Quick, eat more. It can nourish your health.” As she said, Mother Su directly picked up a drumstick, from a pot of decocting herbal medicine, with her chopsticks and gave it to Su Rui.
Initially, this was intended for old comrade Su, but now Su Rui needs it more.
Looking at the big drumstick in Su Rui’s bowl, the corner of her lips twitched slightly.
“Thank you, Mum.”
Well, she does seem to need to nourish her health.
“Ah, yes!” Su Rui recalled another matter when she saw her daughter.
“There is going to be a banquet at the Chen’s house tomorrow evening, and I wanted to take you with me.”
Unlike the previous charity diner with Su Rui, the Chen family’s banquet is really a dinner in the circle. In comparison, it was more worthy of attention.
And, Liu Yue has already prepared Su Rui’s dress for tomorrow.
But, when Liu Yue thought that her daughter had just finished 8 exams, Liu Yue was slightly hesitant.
“Or I can go with your father tomorrow. Rui Rui is so tired at school. It would be better to have a rest at home for the weekend.” Liu Yue said after contemplating.
Su Rui, who felt that her body and brain had been drained out, wanted to lie in her own house all weekend.
But…
“Mum, which Chen family are you talking about?” Su Rui looked up at Liu Yue and Su Hong Yuan and questioned.
“That Min An Group?” Su Hong Yuan also looked at Liu Yue and asked.
“Yes, the old madam of the Chen family has invited us for her birthday. You have to attend tomorrow. Do you understand?”
“Ok.” Su Hong Yuan nodded his head.
“Do our family have dealings with Min An group?” Su Rui asked again.
“Well, several of our development projects in Su Hua have cooperation in the later stage with Min An group.” Her father explained. It was rare to see his daughter so attentive. He added, “this Min An group is mainly engaged in import business…”
Hearing what her father has said, Su Rui roughly understood the relationship between the two families.
“I’ll go tomorrow.” Su Rui thought about it and said.
After all, she will inherit the family wealth. Peh. Family business. It’s one aspect to run a company, and it’s also necessary to have interpersonal communication.
“You aren’t staying home to rest?” Liu Yue hesitatingly glanced at Su Rui.
“No need.” Su Rui shook her head.
“Plus…” Su Rui blinked at Liu Yue and added, “Mum, don’t you want me to meet more people of the same age at these banquets?”
Hearing this, Liu Yue couldn’t help but smile and glared at Su Rui.
“Then you’d better meet some of them ah. You only kept saying that.”
“Forget it, let’s just go. Mother has already prepared what is already required. Just follow me to meet people tomorrow.” Liu Yue said in a relaxed tone.
“Now, eat first.”
“Come, Ru Rui. Try this sweet soup. Your mother has been cooking it all afternoon.” With that, Liu Yue scooped out another spoonful of sweet soup for Su Rui.
Similar to Mrs Gu, in Liu Yue’s case, apart from being busy with all kinds of interpersonal relations, she spent the rest of her time comparing clothes with her old sisters,[1] and it was rare for her to cook with her own hands.
When she was lying in the hospital, Mother Su decocted chicken soup once by herself. At that time, Su Rui was lying in the hospital bed, and she wasn’t able to taste whether it was salty or bitter.
To be honest, Su Rui really didn’t have much expectation of her mother’s cooking.
But, at the next second, she took a sip of the sweet soup, and her eyes gleamed.
Immediately turned into so fragrant![2]
“How’s it?” Liu Yue looked at her daughter and asked with a confident look.
Originally, Liu Yue subconsciously wanted to say: How is it? It is comparable with Yu Jing, right?
Then, Liu Yiu realized that she was ‘poking Su Rui’s sore spot’, as if she was deeply afraid that Su Rui wouldn’t remember the Gu family, and wouldn’t remember this person called Gu Yu Cheng. Mortified, she stopped herself.
“Delicious!” Su Rui said with a smile.
“By the way, Mum, is it complicated to make this sweet soup?” Su Rui looked up and as she drank the sweet soup in the bowl.
“It’s not complicated, but the preparation of the ingredients beforehand is a little troublesome.” Liu Yue replied as she glanced at Su Rui. She asked curiously, “Why do you ask this all of a sudden?”
“Can you teach me how to do this, Mum?”
“You want to learn?” Liu Yue was a little surprised.
“Yes, I can make it and drink it if I have nothing to do, and it is good to have it for breakfast.” Su Rui nodded.
“Puh, as if it needs to be done by you. If you want to drink, your mother can make it for you.” Liu Yue said with a smile. As for her daughter’s flatter, she was delighted.
“That’s not the same.” Su Rui said.
Not only that, but Su Rui was also thinking about learning how to cook.
There was no time in the last life. Now, apart from being busy at the beginning of school, she should be able to have some spare later, right?
After all, Su Rui was not as busy as she was in her last life where she was giving out flyers and working part-time.
As for the reason why Su Rui wanted to learn how to cook, it was all for future considerations.
In a family, there must be someone who can cook. Even if there is an auntie cooking in the main mansion, what if she lives in her own house? She can’t just have take out only, can she?
Besides, it was also a great way to enliven her life by cooking delicious food by herself occasionally.
She didn’t know that her daughter had considered this far. Liu Yue looked at Su Rui and smiled.
“Well, it’s not easy to learn. When you return home next week, I’ll ask auntie to prepare the ingredients first and then teach you how to do it.”
“Come, Lao Su, don’t just eat. Be careful that your blood pressure will rise again later. Come and try this sweet soup.”
“Doesn’t this contain sugar?” Father Su muttered, but he took the bowl from Mother Su.
……
[1] The sisters here aren’t referring to siblings but Madam Liu Yue’s close friends.
[2] 真香(zhēnxiāng)- So fragrant. The meaning of the word means that when a person makes up his mind not to go or do something, yet his/her actions are the opposite of what he/she has said. It is mainly used to express a psychological state in which one’s expected events are totally different from the final results.
