Chapter 426 Concern from Father
An hour passed.
After having their fill of food and drink, the three women moved to the sofa next to them to continue chatting, while the two men stayed at the table to finish the few leftovers.
Gather every bit of savings to make the plate brighter.
As senior and junior graduates of the country, Lu Jianyan and Lu You felt it their duty to actively respond to the country's call for the "Clean Plate Campaign."
Well, actually the chef’s skills are really good, and he has grasped the essence of Cantonese cuisine. The dishes are colorful, fragrant and delicious, while still being light and fresh, highlighting the freshness and tenderness of the ingredients themselves among the various flavors.
After taking a few bites of the food, Lu You felt that his body, which had been ruined by the greasy food in the cafeteria, had been cleansed.
People in Guangdong are still accustomed to eating Cantonese food!
After finishing the last fish head, Lu You leaned back on the chair and let out a long sigh.
"Are you full? If not, I'll ask for more dishes." Lu Jianyan asked at the right time.
"No, I'm already full."
Lu You touched her slightly pregnant belly and said with emotion: "I didn't expect that I could eat authentic Cantonese food in a European-style hotel in the capital. This is really the first time."
Lu Jianyan placed a box of wet wipes next to Lu You and said, "Under normal circumstances, you can't eat it."
Lu You pulled out a wet tissue, carefully wiped the oil stains on his hands, and asked curiously: "What did you do?"
"Money makes the world go round. There's a Cantonese restaurant across the street, and I invited their chef to come over." The calm tone showed that Lu Jianyan did things in his usual style.
Anything that can be solved with money is not a problem.
Those who are clearly trying to take advantage of the situation are another matter.
"You are worthy of being my dad!" Lu You gave Lu Jianyan a thumbs up and praised him sincerely, "It fits your identity as a domineering CEO very well."
Lu Jianyan turned his head to look at Shen Yuyin who was chatting and laughing with Tang Wan in the back, with a gentle smile on his face, and added: "It's mainly because your mother has a bad stomach and can't get used to the local food."
Well, now even the stereotype is met!
Lu You folded the wet tissue in half and wiped his mouth clean. The alcohol remained around his lips, bringing a slight coolness.
Lu Jianyan's gaze shifted back to Lu You, and he continued, "If I remember correctly, the teaching methods in college are very different from those in high school. Are you used to it?"
Lu You chuckled, with an undisguised mockery in his smile.
"Are you concerned about my studies?"
"As a father, isn't it normal for me to care about my son's studies?" Lu Jianyan said as a matter of course.
"When I had poor grades in junior high school, I never saw you show concern for me once."
Lu Jianyan heard the questioning tone in Lu You's words, but he did not rely on his status to escape, but gave a direct answer.
The simplest solution to misunderstandings between father and son is to speak your mind. Saving face and showing off your father's authority will only backfire.
"It's not that I don't care, but I'm not qualified to care. I've been through this, I've been to school, I know how hard it is to work from 6am to 10pm. Besides, your mom and I didn't do well in school, so why should I ask you to do well in school?
But now it’s different. You’ve been admitted to a university that I never dared to think about, and you clearly have the intention to continue your studies. Your academic performance will directly affect your future, so I have to care about you.”
Lu Jianyan expressed his true feelings frankly, and Lu You felt disgusted but also moved.
From childhood to adulthood, Lu You and Shen Yuyin are the closest. As for Lu Jianyan, if you have high EQ, they are the second best in the family, but if you have low EQ, they are not that good.
As Lu You grows up, Lu Jianyan is like a tall tree that can shelter him from wind and rain, but he can only look up to it.
For a father and son who were not very close, it was rare for them to have a straightforward conversation.
Lu You calmed down the ripples in his heart and replied, "I have my own way of learning. The change in teaching methods from high school to university will not affect me. You don't need to worry."
Lu Jianyan nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
Since high school, Lu You has never disappointed him, either in study or in life.
Including the premature love that he had complained about at the beginning, Lu You also successfully proved that there was nothing wrong with his vision.
With so many factors combined, Lu Jianyan naturally has great trust in Lu You.
"So, are you sure you want to go the math route?"
"What else can I do? School has already started for a month, can I still change my major midway?" Lu You said speechlessly.
"I mainly want to tell you that I don't know many people in the academic circle, and I haven't accumulated any connections. If you encounter difficulties, I may not be able to help you. You have to walk the future on your own." Lu Jian said seriously.
Lu You curled his lips and said with a little disdain: "You speak as if you have helped me! Aren't all my achievements due to my own hard work?"
Lu Jianyan's expression gradually faded.
I was talking to you in a nice way, but you still took advantage of me?
"Didn't I help you? The clothes you wear, the high school you go to, the house you live in, the electronic products you use, even the money you use to chase your girlfriend, dare you say that one of them is not earned by me?"
Without saying a word, Lu You bowed his head and admitted his mistake decisively.
"I'm sorry, I was arrogant."
There is no way. Before you become financially independent, you can't stand up straight.
……
After spending an hour strolling with his family, and forcibly pulling Lu Jingshu away from his legs while she cried and wanted to sleep with him, Lu You finally returned home with Tang Wan around 9:30 in the evening.
Lu Youyou tried to invite Shen Yuyin to stay upstairs for one night, but she strongly refused.
The reason is, who would want to live in a small house of a hundred square meters when there are presidential suites in five-star hotels?
Tang Wan put aside the spoils of tonight's shopping, and lay on her back on the toffee chair, staring at the ceiling with empty eyes, and shouted loudly: "So tired!"
Lu You walked into the living room carrying the kettle, then placed the kettle on the base and pressed the heating button. A buzzing sound rang out in the living room.
"Tired? Did you skip classes during the day to work in the fields?"
Tang Wan looked at Lu You and said weakly, "It's not that my body is tired, it's that my heart is tired."
Lu You sat in front of Tang Wan, put his hand on her cheek, and gently stroked her: "Did someone bully you in the student union?"
"That's not true. The seniors in the student union are very nice to everyone."
The next second, a disgusting face flashed through her mind, and Tang Wan couldn't help but frowned.
"No, there is one exception, and you have also met that person."
"Which one? Male or female?"
"Remember the night of the student union interview?"
Tang Wan's reminder immediately impressed Lu You, and he asked, "Did you curse our girl for no reason?"
There was no special reason why Lu You remembered her, simply because he was disgusted by her.
I came to the interview happily with Tang Wan, but before I even got through the door, I was attacked in the face. It's hard not to remember it.
"Yes, it's her!"
Tang Wan sat up with a somersault and said indignantly, "She gives me the cold shoulder every time we meet. I really don't know what hatred we have! Fortunately, we are not from the same department, and I have the protection of the dormitory head, so I am not afraid of her playing tricks on me."
"Aren't your dorm leader and you from the same class? You are both newcomers, how can she protect you?" Lu You asked puzzledly.
Tang Wan leaned close to Lu You's back, wrapped her arms around his neck, and replied, "This year's student union president and my dorm head are high school alumni. They knew each other in high school."
Feeling the oppressive feeling of two unknown objects behind him, Lu You straightened his back slightly so as to feel Tang Wan's softness more fully.
"Since there is no problem with the student union, then why are you so tired?"
"Alas! What else could be the reason?"
Tang Wan sighed, rested her chin on Lu You's shoulder, and said worriedly: "Of course it's because of Auntie! Chatting with Auntie is tiring!"
Lu You raised his eyebrows. He had never expected this reason.
"Tired of chatting with my mom? But I see you guys are having a great time. I can hear your laughter from a few meters away."
Tang Wan glanced at Lu You with a gloomy look in her eyes and asked, "Are you happy when you are piling?"
"happy."
"Are you tired after the pile driving?"
"understood!"
Tang Wan buried her face in Lu You's neck and said in a muffled voice: "Auntie is a very easy-going person, but no matter how easy she is to get along with, she is still my future mother-in-law.
In front of her, I have to be extremely alert at all times, afraid of saying the wrong thing. It's like walking on a tightrope, the pressure is overwhelming!"
Lu You turned his head to look at the top of Tang Wan's head.
It has been a long time since Tang Wan dyed her hair, and the dark red color at the roots of her hair has turned back into pure black.
It is estimated that in a year or so, Lu You will have a girlfriend with long black hair again. If the fading of hair dye is taken into account, the time can be shortened a lot.
"You stayed at my house in early June, and we left home to register for school at the end of August. It's been nearly three months, and you haven't gotten used to it yet?"
Tang Wan raised her head again, and there were a few curly hairs on her fair face.
"Don't I stay downstairs with you most of the time when I'm at home? I only go to the living room for a while when I eat."
"Don't you often watch dramas with my mother at night?"
"You just need to sit and watch the show, and you don't have to talk."
"Okay, I know you've worked hard!"
Tang Wan is not a person who likes to make trouble. When she starts to complain, it means that she is seeking care, just like a cat actively snuggling into people's arms.
Lu You pinched Tang Wan's nose and said, "Next Monday, Xue Zhiqian will hold a concert at the Bird's Nest. I got two front-row tickets. Do you want to go?"
Tang Wan's eyes lit up and she asked in surprise, "Really?!"
"When have I ever lied to you?"
"My husband is so good to me!"
Tang Wan kissed Lu You on the cheek neatly, then hugged him and released all her love.
"Concert! This is my first time going there! I don't know what it's like." Tang Wan said with full of fantasy.
Lu You pondered for a moment and said, "In terms of sound quality, it's not as good as high-end audio equipment, but the atmosphere is very good, and there is a chance to interact with the singers. Overall, it's very interesting."
Tang Wan was not surprised at all that Lu You had been to the concert.
Children from wealthy families must have much richer experiences than ordinary people.
"Which singers' concerts have you been to?"
"There are quite a few."
Lu You recalled and said: "For example, unpopular singers, Jolin Tsai, Deng Ziqi, Wang Leehom, King Liu, the God of Songs, doctors, etc."
"Whose concert do you think is the best?"
"That must be the God of Song!" Lu You said without hesitation.
"why?"
"At the God of Songs' concert, you can not only listen to songs, but also watch a police and gangster movie. The show effect is great!"
The two chatted for a while until Lu You looked at the clock on the wall.
"It's already ten o'clock! I didn't realize the time was passing by while chatting."
Lu You turned around and looked at Tang Wan, and said, "It's time to take a shower. Do you want to go first or should I?"
Tang Wan blinked and said, "Can I..."
"No."
"I haven't finished yet!" Tang Wan pouted, looking dissatisfied.
Lu You sneered and said, "Do I need to wait for you to finish? When you go home every week during the holidays, do you have anything else on your mind besides pornography?"
"Is this who I am in your eyes?"
"hehe."
Lu You was too lazy to argue with Tang Wan, so he stood up and said, “If you don’t wash, I will.”
After saying that, Lu You walked towards the room.
Tang Wan quickly grabbed Lu You's wrist and said anxiously, "Wait a minute!"
"What are you waiting for?"
Tang Wan hooked her fingers on the collar of her clothes and pulled it down, revealing a small, snow-white, bottomless ravine.
"After so many days, don't you want to have an intimate contact with your girlfriend's ketone body?"
Lu You pulled his hand back with all his strength and said expressionlessly, "It's not too late to touch after taking a shower."
Are you kidding? The temperature today is lower than usual, and it even dropped to single digits at night. Under such circumstances, taking a bath with Tang Wan is simply like blanching raw pork in water.
"Give me a reason!"
"I don't want to be an acquaintance yet."
