Chapter 135: Chapter 135: You Really Are Too Filial

"Stock trading? How did you get into stock trading? That’s... so risky, what if you lose money!" Liu Yushu worried again.

Lu Youxi could only tell Liu Yushu, "Mom, that’s what I studied after all. Now that I’m in the Imperial Capital, I can access current information more promptly and comprehensively. It’s not like I’m just feverishly trading stocks; I’ve researched a long time to choose these stocks. When to enter or exit the market needs careful study. Even my classmates are doing it."

Liu Yushu didn’t understand much about these things, but from what Lu Youxi said, it seemed to be an activity that particularly required technical analysis.

"Okay, then you handle it," Liu Yushu said, "but be very careful, don’t get too excited over making some money."

Liu Yushu sighed and said, "I’m worried the money comes too quickly, too easily, like getting something for nothing. It can easily go to someone’s head."

Lu Youxi didn’t expect Liu Yushu to think of that.

"Mom, just keep reminding me then," Lu Youxi said with a smile.

Hearing Lu Youxi say that, Liu Yushu instead felt relieved and laughed, "Alright, I’ll keep nagging, and you better not get annoyed with me."

"How could I?" Lu Youxi said. "I actually need a senior to keep me in check."

"Mom, when you get a chance, see what you can easily bring over from home and leave with dad. Since we have a place to stay and store things now," Lu Youxi said.

Liu Yushu finally snapped back to reality, and even her hand holding the phone shook with excitement, "We... we have a home in the Imperial Capital so soon!"

"Yes, we have a home now," Lu Youxi smiled.

"Right, how about Shuyan? How is he doing?" Liu Yushu remembered to ask. "Does he want to live with us?"

"He..." Lu Youxi glanced at Zhou Shuyan beside her and blurted out, "He’s living with his... mother-in-law."

She had almost said "his mom," but caught herself just in time.

"I’m just attending school and staying on campus, so it would be a waste of rent for him to live alone. For now, he’s staying back home," Lu Youxi explained.

Zhou Shuyan raised an eyebrow; Lu Youxi was getting better and better at lying.

And the lies seemed rather effective.

"Normally I’m not at home, it’d be uncomfortable for him to live with you," Lu Youxi said.

"That makes sense," Liu Yushu nodded, finding Lu Youxi’s words reasonable.

"Also, when you come, bring the household registration book. It’s troublesome for kids with non-local hukou to attend school here, so Zhou Shuyan suggested we transfer Youxue’s hukou to his. This way, Youxue will have an Imperial Capital hukou, making school admissions simpler. I’ll arrange Youxue’s school transfer when you come to Imperial Capital; then he can start school here," Lu Youxi explained.

"That’s good, but it seems a lot of trouble for Shuyan," Liu Yushu said. "Once we’re settled in the Imperial Capital, we’ll try to transfer our hukou here, and then transfer Youxue’s back; otherwise, having it continuously under Shuyan’s household is just not appropriate."

"Yeah, I was thinking the same,"

"By the way, it’s Saturday today, isn’t Shuyan with you?" Liu Yushu asked again.

Lu Youxi was genuinely surprised that Liu Yushu was so concerned about Zhou Shuyan, mentioning him in almost every sentence.

"We’re together," Lu Youxi hurriedly said.

Zhou Shuyan pointed to himself, Lu Youxi nodded, "Should I let him talk to you?"

"Ah, yes, definitely, let me talk to Shuyan," Liu Yushu quickly said.

Lu Youxi handed the phone to Zhou Shuyan, and he effortlessly greeted, "Mom."

Hearing that Zhou Shuyan was indeed with Lu Youxi, Liu Yushu finally put her mind at ease.

"Shuyan, Youxi is young and impulsive, if she encounters something rash, you should advise her," Liu Yushu instructed.

Zhou Shuyan looked at Lu Youxi with a smile and nodded affirmatively.

"How’s your mother? Is she healthy?" Liu Yushu asked. "What does she think of Youxi? Has Youxi upset her?"

These questions even stumped Zhou Shuyan, who reluctantly said, "My mom’s been a bit unwell recently and is recuperating."

While saying this, Zhou Shuyan silently apologized to Xu Jingmin in his heart.

Xu Jingmin often pretended to be unwell, so he just took it as believing Xu Jingmin’s performance.

"But my mum knows about Youxi; I’ve told her," Zhou Shuyan said. "She really likes Youxi—how despite all the hardships at home, she continues to persevere, got admitted into Jing University, and carved out a future for herself. Especially since the college entrance exam scores in Fengnan City are so high and Jing University’s acceptance rate there is always low, it’s commendable that Youxi got in. My mom always admires strong-willed girls like Youxi."

Zhou Shuyan thought for a moment—none of what he said was a lie.

Xu Jingmin really did say those things.

But Liu Yushu’s heart was still uneasy, wondering if Zhou Shuyan’s mother’s illness was just an excuse.

Could it be that she didn’t want to meet Lu Youxi?

"Why hasn’t Youxi visited your mother?" Liu Yushu quickly said. "Youxi is really thoughtless; I need to speak with her!"

"My mom likes to look her best; she plans to get all dolled up and then meet with Youxi once she’s better," Zhou Shuyan stammeringly said.

This was the first time he found it so difficult to lie; how could Lu Youxi tell such plausible lies?

"Alright then," Liu Yushu doubted.

Zhou Shuyan dared not chat with Liu Yushu anymore, "Mom, Youxi is urging to talk to you, I’m passing the phone back to her."

Zhou Shuyan didn’t wait for Liu Yushu to respond; he quickly handed the phone to Lu Youxi.

Little did he know when he looked up, he caught Lu Youxi raising her eyebrow at him, her lips curled into a slight mocking smile, clearly teasing him.

Zhou Shuyan thought to himself that even as the Head of the Zhou family, he couldn’t cover up his bad lies and was now being laughed at by a young girl.

Zhou Shuyan could only offer Lu Youxi a resigned look.

Lu Youxi took the phone, "Mom."

"You really are something, fighting with Shuyan over the phone!" Liu Yushu complained. "I wasn’t done talking with him."

"Mom, long-distance calls are quite expensive," Lu Youxi reminded. "Why don’t you discuss it with us in person when you get to the Imperial Capital?"

"Oh my goodness!" Liu Yushu suddenly remembered, feeling a pang, "Then I’d better hang up now; we’ll talk when we meet!"

Without waiting for Lu Youxi to say goodbye, Liu Yushu hung up first.

Lu Youxi, smiling slyly, shook the phone at Zhou Shuyan, "Actually, just mentioning the phone bill is enough to make my mom hang up."

"..." Zhou Shuyan’s lips twitched, and he couldn’t help but retort, "You really honor me with your filial piety."

Lu Youxi raised an eyebrow at him and chortled, "Who was it that couldn’t wrap their lie and hurriedly passed the phone to me?"
