Chapter 187: Chapter 187: Young Master, What You Did Was Not Right

Xu Jingmin sighed, "They are all honest and down-to-earth people."

Not greedy, and they have a very clear understanding of themselves.

Zhou Shuyan then talked about how Lu Youxi exposed Lu Youbang’s true face after arriving in the Imperial Capital, and how she made money to bring her parents and younger brother over. Now she is even preparing to open an internet café, among other things.

"What a capable girl," Xu Jingmin listened with admiration.

"And from what you’ve said, it seems her parents have also changed a lot," Xu Jingmin’s attitude softened considerably when she spoke of Lu Zhenguo and Liu Yushu. "They indeed don’t favor sons over daughters. Freed from the influence of the Lu Family’s elders, they have become much more methodical in their ways."

Aunt Yao nodded, saying, "At first, I thought Miss Lu would be like many other older sisters in families that favor sons – constantly spending money on their younger brothers. I’ve seen plenty of such cases. The sisters don’t go to college and start working early to support their brothers’ education. The sisters’ dowries are used for their brothers’ weddings. The money sisters earn is all given to the family, to buy houses for their brothers."

"That’s not the case with their family," Zhou Shuyan explained. Although it was true, and the Zhou Family didn’t mind it, talking about it could still rub people the wrong way, "Initially, Lu Youxi aimed to allow Lu Youxue to study in the city to get a better education. Naturally, her parents would have to come over, and it would also allow them to escape the clutches of the Lu Family’s relatives."

"Their parents’ attitude is clear: they can’t hold back Lu Youxi. Originally, they planned to come to the Imperial Capital to work and relieve some of Lu Youxi’s pressure by earning her tuition and living expenses. But who knew that Lu Youxi was so competent she didn’t need their help? Instead, she arranged for them to work directly in her own internet café, taking care of employment for them," Zhou Shuyan said with a smile, "Now, Lu Youxue is studying hard, aiming to get into a good university and find a good job, to become a strong support for Lu Youxi."

"Now that’s a proper family," Aunt Yao exclaimed, slapping her thigh.

Suddenly, Xu Jingmin switched topics, raising an eyebrow, "You said at first you wanted to repay a debt, so are you saying that it’s not the case anymore?"

Zhou Shuyan was in the middle of speaking when hit by this sudden curveball, caught off guard by Xu Jingmin’s question.

He thought they had already moved past this topic, but Xu Jingmin had circled back around.

What’s more, she had caught the key point earlier and hadn’t forgotten it until now.

Seeing Xu Jingmin’s expression of "I’m watching you, don’t think you can slip by," Zhou Shuyan gave a wry smile, no longer hiding the truth, and openly admitted with a nod, "The more I interact with her, the more I like her."

Unexpectedly, Xu Jingmin suddenly stood up, pointing at Zhou Shuyan and saying angrily, "Aren’t you just trapping me then?"

Zhou Shuyan looked up in surprise at Xu Jingmin, wondering why she was so suddenly angry.

From her reaction just now, she didn’t seem to dislike Lu Youxi.

Zhou Shuyan was a bit dumbfounded and then heard Xu Jingmin exclaim, "If you like her, and you two have already registered your marriage, why haven’t you introduced her to me? And you mentioned that Lu Youxi’s parents have also come to the Imperial Capital, they’ve been here for so long, and I, as the mother-in-law, haven’t met the in-laws yet. This is such an impolite thing!"

Xu Jingmin was furious, pausing to catch her breath, stabilizing her emotions before continuing, "Like this, won’t people think I’m a cold and difficult mother-in-law? They might even secretly grumble that I look down on their family, look down on Lu Youxi."

Xu Jingmin was nearly crying out of anger, "How wronged I am! Being misunderstood like that, but in reality, I didn’t even know about my dear son’s marriage at all!"

Xu Jingmin angrily flopped back onto the sofa, covering her face with her hands and starting to fake-cry with "Wuu wuu."

Zhou Shuyan: "..."

Zhou Shuyan hastily gave Aunt Yao a look, signaling her to help persuade.

To their surprise, Aunt Yao heaved a sigh and said, "Young Master, what you did this time was rather underhanded. How could you put the lady in such an unjust situation?"

"Our lady is the most approachable and easygoing, the most reasonable and well-mannered person," Aunt Yao shook her head in disappointment at Zhou Shuyan and sighed, "but now, in the eyes of her in-laws, our lady must have become a cold and unfriendly evil mother-in-law! Which family would feel at ease having such a mother-in-law for their daughter."

"Wuuu wuuu wuuu wuuu..." Xu Jingmin cried while sneakily revealing the gap between her fingers, quietly giving Aunt Yao a confirming look.

However, considering how close Zhou Shuyan was sitting to them and not being a fool, how could he possibly not notice?

Zhou Shuyan had long realized that Xu Jingmin was pretending, but he still had to coddle her.

Liu Yushu felt that her son-in-law was considerate and capable of saying the right things, and it wasn’t because he had been trained by Xu Jingmin.

"Mom, it’s Lu Youxi, she’s still thinking about divorcing me," Zhou Shuyan had no choice but to reveal.

The crying stopped abruptly.

Xu Jingmin lowered her hand, and sure enough, her face was clean, not a single tear in sight.

"What’s the matter?" Xu Jingmin blinked, "It turns out the girl doesn’t even like you, does she?"

"I’ve said it before, how could you, such a capable guy, get married so quietly and without fanfare?" Xu Jingmin curled her lips, wearing a look of disdain.

"..." Zhou Shuyan pinched the corner of his eye and said, "She always thought I was just to repay a kindness, helping her out, which is why I agreed to get the certificate with her. She also thinks I might meet a girl I like in the future, so she wants to get the divorce done early, not to hinder me. I’ve been dragging it on the pretext that I have unresolved issues on my end and can’t get to the divorce for the time being."

"Young Master, if I may speak frankly," Aunt Yao leaned in and said, "then why don’t you directly tell the girl that you like her?"

"Because I don’t want her to be exposed too soon," Zhou Shuyan said.

Seeing Xu Jingmin’s "seeing a scumbag" expression again, Zhou Shuyan hurriedly explained, "The situation with my second uncle hasn’t been resolved. I don’t want to involve her in the troubles, and I intended to wait until everything was settled before telling her. I don’t want her and her family to face danger because of me."

As soon as this topic came up, Xu Jingmin immediately became enraged, grinding her teeth in hatred and her complexion changed.

This time it was genuine hatred, not the feigned display she had put on for Zhou Shuyan to see earlier.

"That bastard!" Xu Jingmin, thinking of him, felt her eyes burn with rage, "Haven’t you found the evidence yet?"

"Not yet," Zhou Shuyan said, "So for now, I’ve removed him from the company’s position of actual power, but I haven’t let him go elsewhere; I’m keeping an eye on him right under my nose."

"But if you watch him too closely, won’t he be even less likely to dare to do anything?" Xu Jingmin was somewhat worried.

Zhou Shuyan shook his head and said, "First we need to keep him tense, without real power and unable to make any moves."
