Chapter 2267 Sympathies

Zhao Shucheng had actually noticed something strange about Yan Ruyu, but he didn't say anything and just let her continue eating.

After all, for Zhao Shucheng, if Yan Ruyu wants to be with him, sooner or later she will get used to his taste. Although Zhao Shucheng has no taboos, he can even eat food from all over the world. But if Yan Ruyu is with him, it is impossible for her to only eat Hunan cuisine in the future.

The meal ended up being a great success for both the host and the guests, especially when Zhao Shucheng offered to take them home, Yan Ruyu was even happier.

She felt that Zhao Shucheng was interested in her, otherwise how could he have asked her, so she agreed directly. Although she didn't like the dinner, it was fine as long as he was hers.

When Yan Ruyu and Shen Xiaofang returned to the apartment, they found that Sura had returned, but she was in a low mood.

"Sura, we are back. What happened to you? Did anything happen?"

Sura shook his head and said, "No, it's just that I suddenly realized that I don't know anything except the history knowledge I learned in school. Today, when I was working, I either couldn't answer the phone, or I couldn't deal with complaining customers. I even had a lot of problems with the quotation."

Yan Ruyu hugged Sura and said, "Oh, Sura, don't think like that. You just started working today, and it's normal to not know anything at the beginning. If there is anything you don't understand, learn more and ask more questions, and you will definitely not be like this in the future."

Shen Xiaofang also sat next to Sura and said, "Yes, Sura, it is said that society is a university. After we graduate and enter society, we need to start learning again."

"Thank you for your comfort. By the way, why did you come back so late?"

Yan Ruyu and Shen Xiaofang looked at each other and said, "We had dinner with Brother Zhao and told him about Xiaofang's past. Brother Zhao has agreed to pretend to be Xiaofang's boyfriend, so you have to help Xiaofang keep Yaqi's affairs a secret from her parents."

Sura nodded and said, "I know, don't worry! But Xiaofang, does Yaqi know about this? What if he sees you and Brother Zhao together and misunderstands you?"

Shen Xiaofang said confidently: "We have already thought about this. Except for meeting my parents, whenever we are with Zhao Shucheng, Yaqi will go with us, so there will be no misunderstanding."

Qiu Shi was still waiting for Su La to show up at the subway station. He had actually met Su La before, but at that time Su La saw Yin Shan having a sweet time with her girlfriend and had no intention of paying attention to Qiu Shi. Qiu Shi could only write his phone number to Su La and ask her to call him.

But who would have thought that after Sura returned home, the phone number had become blurred due to the rain, and in the end he could only try to call each number one by one. However, because Qiu Shi's good friend Zhao Lei was chatting with someone about games on the phone, his phone was out of battery, so he didn't receive Sura's call at all.

Qiu Shi could only continue to wait for Sura to appear at the subway station, but because of his strange behavior, he was mistaken for a suspect and was almost arrested by the police. It was not until Zhao Lei recognized him at a glance that he realized it was a misunderstanding.

On this day, when Qiu Shi was driving with Zhao Lei, they happened to see Sura who took a taxi to the company. He quickly asked Zhao Lei to drive after Sura and chased her all the way to the Xingxing Travel Agency where Sura was.

After seeing Sura go in, Qiu Shi realized that Sura worked here. After hesitating for a while, he followed her in. It happened that a one-day university tour organized by Sura was facing disbandment because there were three children and less than ten people. When Sura was complained about, Qiu Shi and Zhao Lei directly signed up for a one-day university tour organized by Sura.

Sura didn't expect to see Qiu Shi again here. He was very grateful that he joined the tour group so that he would not break his promise to the customers.

When Jing Sa saw this situation, although he was still a little reluctant, he had no choice but to agree to let Sura lead the group to the university because he had just said that there were not enough people if there were not ten. Now there were enough people.

After Sura led the group to the university, they arrived at his alma mater and asked Zhao Lei to take them around the campus. However, since he had attended college here for four years, he felt there was no need to visit the campus, so he stayed by the bus and waited for them to come back.

Qiu Shi was finally able to talk to Sura alone, so he returned the bracelet he had picked up to Sura and told her that he had actually been looking for her and had been following her for several days.

Sura was curious about why he followed her and asked directly.

Qiu Shi told Sura that from the first time he met her, he knew she was someone he could never forget.

  Su La didn't expect to hear Qiu Shi's confession, but she had just experienced a failed relationship and didn't want to start a new relationship easily, so she could only say:

"Mr. Qiu, your medieval way of courtship is very romantic, but you have chosen the wrong person."

But what she didn't expect was that she actually ran into her ex-boyfriend Yin Shan and his current girlfriend. She unconsciously took Qiu Shi's arm, as if this would prevent her from showing weakness in front of Yin Shan.

Yin Shan naturally saw Sura and Qiu Shi, and was even more curious about their identities, so he walked over and asked, "Who is this?"

"This is my friend. I brought him to visit the school."

Qiu Shi looked at Yin Shan and recognized him as the man who had quarreled with Sura before. He smiled and said, "Hello, my name is Qiu Shi!"

Yin Shan looked at the other person and said, "Not bad, very good! I'll be leaving first!"

Because Qiu Shi already knew Sura and even knew where she worked, he sent her flowers every day from that day on, but Sura ignored him.

Shen Xiaofang has not yet prepared how to introduce Zhao Shucheng to her parents, but she did not expect that her boyfriend Chen Yaqi could not wait any longer. He chases after Shen Xiaofang every day to propose to her, hoping that they can get married soon, which makes Xiaofang very annoyed.

She wanted to agree to Chen Yaqi's proposal, but when she thought of her parents' resolute opposition, she had no idea how to respond.

Yan Ruyu and Sura saw Shen Xiaofang with no smile on her face and asked curiously, "What's wrong with you?"

"It's still the damned Chen Yaqi."

Yan Ruyu smiled and said, "Could it be that he threatened to commit suicide so that you could go to the Civil Affairs Bureau with him to register?"

"Almost. He even said he would come to my house to propose tomorrow, knowing that my parents would get angry when he was mentioned. How could this person be so inconsiderate of me?"

"It doesn't matter. A son-in-law has to meet his mother-in-law anyway!"

When Shen Xiaofang heard Yan Ruyu say this, she stood up and asked Yan Ruyu to tickle her.

"Go to sleep. Maybe everything will be fine tomorrow."

"I hope so!" Shen Xiaofang didn't think things would get better. She had originally wanted Zhao Shucheng to pretend to be her boyfriend to buy time for herself and Chen Yaqi, but she didn't expect Chen Yaqi to be so impatient.

But there is no way her parents would agree to her marrying Chen Yaqi now. She had hoped that time would allow her parents to accept it, but now she is facing forced marriage, and her parents will definitely be even more unwilling.

Chen Yaqi had no idea about Shen Xiaofang's troubles. Early the next morning, he came to Shen Xiaofang's parents' house with his newly bought leather jacket.

When Shen Xiaofang's mother saw Chen Yaqi coming again, she immediately said unhappily: "Why are you here again? Go away, go away!"

  Father Shen saw Chen Yaqi at the door with a mop in his hand and was about to hit him. Chen Yaqi quickly said:

"Uncle, don't hit it, don't break it, it's five thousand dollars!"

When Mr. Shen heard this, he stopped immediately and asked, "What's five thousand dollars?"

"I bought this new leather jacket for my uncle!"

Father Shen took it and looked at it, then said, "This color is nice, but the style is too old."

"Uncle, let me tell you, this is a famous brand. All famous brands are like this."

Father Shen said: "Oh, is that so? It's okay, go ahead, go ahead!"

When Shen's mother saw that the clothes Chen Yaqi sent were worth five thousand yuan, a smile immediately appeared on her face, and she took the clothes and was about to go home.

Chen Yaqi saw them leaving and said, "Thank you, Dad..."

When Mr. Shen heard this, he immediately got angry and said, "What dad? Who is your dad? Your own dad is staying at home well, why are you running out and claiming to be your dad?"

"Uncle, I'm going to marry Xiaofang, but after we get married, we'll have to call each other mom and dad, right?"

After hearing this, Shen's mother hurried to Chen Yaqi and said, "What about mom and dad, what about marriage, don't fool us with cheap goods that can't be sold in the mall." After that, she threw the leather jacket that Chen Yaqi gave her to Chen Yaqi.

Chen Yaqi said: "I don't have it."

"You want to marry my daughter, do you think you are worthy? I tell you, if I see you go after my daughter again, I will break your legs."

Chen Yaqi tried to avoid being chased by Shen's father, but accidentally fell flat on his face and was laughed at by the children watching over him.

Shen Xiaofang didn't know that Chen Yaqi had angered her parents again, so when she returned home without any preparation, her parents scolded her for being blind to choose Chen Yaqi and embarrassing them. They also warned Shen Xiaofang that she would not be allowed to meet Chen Yaqi in the future. If they knew that she met Chen Yaqi behind their backs, they would not let her go out and would not give her a penny.

Shen Xiaofang looked at her parents' serious faces and knew that they were serious this time. She couldn't help but feel fortunate that she had a plan in place.

Yan Ruyu was worried because things were not going well with Zhao Shucheng. The date and flowers she expected did not appear. In fact, if she hadn't contacted Zhao Shucheng actively, he would not show up at all.

In the fitness center, she has no shortage of suitors, one of whom is a tall, rich and handsome man from Shanghai, Hou Jun. He drives a Mercedes, wears designer clothes, and is not stingy with his money.

But Yan Ruyu had no interest in him, because she could see that although Hou Jun seemed rich, he was just a white-collar worker in the world, not the boss of a company. But he had the pride of a Shanghainese, looked down on outsiders, and even wanted to marry a local.

The reason why he pursued her was simply because Yan Ruyu always spoke Mandarin and even claimed to others that she also had a resident of Shanghai.

But Yan Ruyu herself knew very well that her so-called Shanghai hukou was just the one she transferred to the school when she went to college. But after graduation, her hukou was about to be returned to her hometown.

Shen Xiaofang was about to ask Yan Ruyu to help contact Zhao Shucheng, but she saw two people who were worried in the apartment, and asked curiously: "No, what happened to you?"

"Don't mention it. Today, people looked down on me because I'm not a local. If I were a local like you, I wouldn't be looked down upon." Yan Ruyu looked at Shen Xiaofang with envy.

Sura also shook her head and told her colleagues about how someone had sent her flowers, which had caused a lot of talk among them.

Shen Xiaofang couldn't help but sigh and said, "It seems that everyone has been having a hard time recently. You don't know that my parents have threatened me because of Chen Yaqi's proposal to our family. If I continue to meet with Chen Yaqi, they will suspend my card and even lock me at home and not let me go out."

  "Alas!"*3

For a moment, the three of them felt that they were in the same boat and their relationships were not going so smoothly.

Shen Xiaofang said: "Yan Yan, I need your help this time. In order to prevent my parents from locking me up at home, I must give them a satisfactory son-in-law, and then they will let me come and go freely."

Yan Ruyu smiled and said, "This question is simple. I will call Brother Zhao and arrange a meeting."

"That's what I thought."

Su La said, "Yan Yan, Xiao Fang, tell Xiao Fang the contact information of Brother Zhao and let her contact him herself. Otherwise, if your uncle and aunt ask Xiao Fang to contact Brother Zhao, won't it be exposed?"

Shen Xiaofang looked at Sura and confirmed that the other party did not do it on purpose, then she said: "Of course I also have Brother Zhao's contact information, but after all, Brother Zhao is Yanyan's friend, so it is usually more convenient for Yanyan to contact him. If the situation is urgent, I can contact Brother Zhao directly."

Yan Ruyu was naturally very happy to hear Shen Xiaofang say this. In fact, she was also a little worried. If Zhao Shucheng and Shen Xiaofang had more contact, since they were both locals, and they fell in love, wouldn't she be in vain?

Zhao Shucheng received a call from Yan Ruyu and learned that Shen Xiaofang hoped that he would take time to meet with Shen Xiaofang's parents so that they could relax their vigilance. Naturally, he agreed readily.

In fact, Zhao Shucheng knew the thoughts of Shen's father and mother very well. Although they were a little greedy, they were more concerned about their daughter's future. Maybe it was to fulfill their own dreams, or maybe it was really to give their daughter a better life. They hoped that their daughter would find a partner who was either a CEO or a foreigner.

Zhao Shucheng believed that his conditions would definitely satisfy Shen's father and mother. After all, being the president of an investment company with assets worth hundreds of millions was not something that ordinary people could achieve.

Of course, this is also at this time. If it were a dozen years later, every family that owns a house in Shanghai would be a multi-millionaire, and there would be many with assets worth billions.
