Chapter 201: Chapter 201: Shuyan has been smart since she was a child Chapter 201: Chapter 201: Shuyan has been smart since she was a child The designated seating for primary and secondary guests has its own set of formalities.
Xu Jingmin noticed Liu Yushu’s thoughts, took her hand with a smile, and said, “We’re all family here, no need for formalities, just sit wherever. We’ll just sit casually, chat casually, there’s no need for all these formalities.”
Liu Yushu saw Xu Jingmin was just as Lu Youxi had described, easy to get along with, so she imdiately felt relieved.
“I really do like Youxi,” Xu Jingmin got straight to the point, “It’s really Zhuyan’s good fortune to be able to marry Youxi.”
“Zhuyan is also very good,” Liu Yushu sincerely said, “I don’t know if Zhuyan has told you about our family’s situation?”
“He’s told everything,” Xu Jingmin said with a smile, “I know that both you and Youxi have had it tough, but now that you’ve moved to the Imperial Capital, you can start over and the days to co will only get better.”
“That’s exactly why I like Youxi even more. In such tough conditions, Youxi still managed to carve out a future for herself and never gave up. A girl like that will be able to overco any obstacle she encounters in the future,” Xu Jingmin clarified, reassuring both Liu Yushu and Lu Zhenguo.
“When we get older, we can’t always be by our children’s side. If they encounter difficulties, we may not be able to walk through them together. That’s why I think, with Youxi around, no matter what the challenge, I won’t worry. She can help Zhuyan get through it. And Zhuyan, he can firmly stand by Youxi’s side. Aren’t they just perfect for each other?”
“As for the other matters concerning your family, I’m aware but they don’t bother ,” Xu Jingmin made her stance clear, also to ensure that Lu Zhenguo understood, so he wouldn’t be confused.
“As long as your stance is firm and everything is done with the children’s best interest in mind, there won’t be any problems from my side. As parents, we all want our children to live well. What the other relatives do is their own business. As long as our children are capable and they live well, that’s enough.”
Liu Yushu understood Xu Jingmin’s intentions, and Xu Jingmin looked at Lu Zhenguo, who was nodding his head, seeming to also understand.
“You can be assured; both Youxi’s dad and I feel the sa way,” Liu Yushu said, “We’ve already thought this through clearly on this matter. We definitely won’t let anyone hold back Youxi, and we won’t let them cause trouble for Zhuyan and Youxi.”
“Even us two, though we might not be of much use nor very knowledgeable, but Youxi is smart and discerning. We just need to listen to Youxi,” Liu Yushu said with a smile, then turning to Lu Zhenguo she added, “Right, Dad?”
“Yes,” Lu Zhenguo nodded, “We’ll listen to Youxi.”
Xu Jingmin smiled and nodded.
Lu Zhenguo was slow to react and not very capable, but that was okay.
As long as he was willing to be advised.
Hearing that Xu Jingmin didn’t mind the Lu family’s relatives’ troubles or the poor conditions, as long as they wouldn’t cause them future problems, Xu Jingmin would have no complaints; Liu Yushu and Lu Zhenguo both felt a huge relief.
The al beca even more relaxed and enjoyable.
Xu Jingmin and Liu Yushu also exchanged so stories about Zhou Shuyan and Lu Youxi’s childhoods.
These were things that Zhou Shuyan and Lu Youxi didn’t know about each other.
The two of them listened intently without realizing.
“Shuyan was such a mischievous kid, so curious, anything in the house that made noise, he would take it apart,” Xu Jingmin said, “Radios, Walkmans, later on MP3s, he even took apart a TV.”
“Oh my!” Liu Yushu listened and felt for him, but it also indirectly showed that the Zhou family was quite well-off.
Their family could afford to let Shuyan dismantle those things.
Even the Lu Family’s elders, who favored sons over daughters, wouldn’t let their favorite, Lu Youbang, casually dismantle ho electronics.
Large or small, neither was allowed.
“Could he put them back together in the end?” Liu Yushu hurriedly asked.
“In the beginning, they couldn’t be reassembled; he just took them apart. Those that couldn’t be put back together, we had to get a repairman to fix,” Xu Jingmin said with a laugh. “Later, when he got a little older, surprisingly his interest didn’t change, he continued dismantling stuff. Smaller, simpler items he could reassemble. Larger items depended on luck, so could be reassembled, so looked fine but still had so spare parts left outside, so a repairman had to co and fix them.”
Liu Yushu found this extrely amusing, “It seems Shuyan has been smart since he was a child.”
“Yes, we didn’t restrict him when we were young; fostering an interest is quite good,” Xu Jingmin didn’t tell the whole truth.
Zhou Shuyan had shown talent from a young age, which grandpa was particularly fond of.
Zhou Shuyan’s talents, other than in business, were in the electronics technology industry.
That’s how he managed to take control of Chengzhou at such a young age.
Normally, that would be impossible.
Chengzhou didn’t disappoint the grandpa after Zhou Shuyan took over.
The talents he showed from a young age, along with the Zhou Family’s nurturing, made Zhou Shuyan’s creativity in technology unparalleled in Hua Country.
Chengzhou’s products were always being imitated but never surpassed.
Even the industry comnted that as long as Zhou Shuyan was at Chengzhou, Chengzhou would always be the leader, no one could surpass them, they could only wait to eat Chengzhou’s leftovers.
When Zhou Shuyan had disappeared, and Zhou Xueyi took over, Chengzhou’s stock prices fell, and everyone waited for Chengzhou to decline.
They lacked confidence in Chengzhou’s future products.
But unexpectedly, Zhou Shuyan eventually ca back.
As for Lu Youxi’s side, there were far fewer interesting stories.
After all, their childhoods were very different.
Most of what Liu Yushu talked about was how dexterous and studious Youxi was as a child.
She just had a stubborn personality.
“Being stubborn is good. It’s because of her stubbornness that she managed to get where she is today, that she could carve out a future for herself,” Xu Jingmin appreciated instead.
This al took a pleasing turn that Liu Yushu and Lu Zhenguo hadn’t anticipated.
Seeing Xu Jingmin so appreciative of Lu Youxi, Liu Yushu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Even on the way back, Liu Yushu couldn’t help but continually praise Xu Jingmin.
“I really didn’t expect my mother-in-law to look so young and beautiful. I’m not exaggerating, but it’s hard to tell she could be Shuyan’s mother,” Liu Yushu remarked, “Originally, your dad and I used to say during our ti at Hexing Village, we thought Shuyan had a good temperant. After we learned he recovered his mory, we thought it was because he was a city person.”
“But when we ca to the Imperial Capital, we realized that Shuyan’s temperant stands out even here. Your dad and I, during our free ti, have been touring the Imperial Capital to familiarize ourselves with the place. We’ve been to many places, but we haven’t found anyone who could match Shuyan’s temperant.”
