My Youth Began With Him

“Her character… is okay for the time being,” Huo Mian said slowly.

“What do you mean by ‘okay’?” Mrs. Su was impatiently waiting for her son to get married, but she didn’t want to intervene directly, afraid Su Yu would feel harassed.

So, she enlisted Huo Mian’s help, but Huo Mian didn’t like to test people. She took the opportunity of disciplining Little Bean and Pudding and went to Su Yu’s home.

In this way, she had a chance to meet Zeng Rou without appearing too nosy.

“Auntie Su, Zeng Rou… how to put it… seems nice… She doesn’t look like a girl with a seedy character, but I’m curious about something.”

“About what?”

“With her family background, she should be able to have any boyfriend she wants. Why does she have her eye on Su Yu? I think she moved in here a bit too suddenly and is a bit too warm toward Su Yu. How should I put it? It’s just a feeling. I don’t have any proof. Aunt, please don’t take it to heart, because I’m not sure about it.”

Huo Mian analyzed slowly as she ate her lunch.

“I know what you mean. But I asked Mei, Yu’s aunt, and she said she had known the girl for years. The people in the provincial capital have a good opinion about her and say she’s a thoughtful girl.”

“I don’t know. Aunt, do you remember how well people thought of Song Yishi? She was a straight-A student from an overseas university, looking nice and reasonable. Even my mother-in-law was fooled by her.”

“Yeah. That’s what I’m afraid of. So, no matter how much Mei praised the girl, I’m still afraid. Mian, you’re smart. I hope you and Chu can do me the favor and check her for Yu.”

Huo Mian nodded. “Auntie Su, I’ll do my best. I’ll continue watching her. If I find she has a secret agenda and poses a threat to Su Yu, I’ll tell you.”

“Good! Yu holds you in high regard and will listen to you. If he falls under the charm of the woman and then we find she had a secret agenda, it would be too late.”

“I don’t think it’s possible. At my request, Qin Chu checked Zeng Rou’s background. Her father has a stable position and there are no rumors of him being moved to another position, so I don’t think he is using his daughter to get close to Su Yu and get a promotion with Grandpa Su’s influence. However, Zeng Rou has had no interaction with Su Yu in the past years, so her sudden appearance confused me. But we can’t think the worst of her; maybe she just likes Su Yu.”

“I hope she truly likes him, then it would be a good marriage. But it takes time to see one’s heart. Despite my impatience to see Yu married, I must know her character and intention first.”

“Auntie Su, you’re wise.” Huo Mian admired the old lady who always did things with good sense.

“You flatter me. We’re old… This internet era belongs to young people like you.” Mrs. Su smiled.

After getting checked at the hospital, Lu Yan went out to have fun.

She liked to spend money whenever she got bored, so she made a beeline to the mall and bought things for everyone in Huo Mian’s family.

With many bags in her hands, she stood at the gate of the mall, wondering how she’d get them home.

To keep low-profiled, she didn’t want to call her subordinates over; after all, it was annoying to be escorted by four to five subordinates wherever she went.

At last, an idea dawned on her. She took out her cellphone and called An.

“Hello?” An looked at the strange number and wondered if it was a scam call.

“Hello, I’m from the public security bureau. We found your card in Alliance Bank has spent 1.83 million yuan outside the country. Was it you who spent the money?” Lu Yan suppressed her laugh as she played the prank.
