“I’m just doing some online rides now. If I’m free at night, I’ll deliver food. However, the weather in Ocean City has turned cold recently. My mother’s bronchitis is acting up. She needs to be taken care of, so I can only do one job during the day.”
“You’ve worked hard enough. Where’s your brother? Don’t you have another brother?”
Jiang Youyi vaguely remembered that Su Hui had mentioned her brother when they were at the same table.
At the mention of her younger brother, Su Hui’s eyes darkened and the light in her eyes extinguished.
“My brother… Forget it, let’s not talk about this. Hurry up and eat something.” Su Hui felt a little uncomfortable. She quickly adjusted her state and took the initiative to pick up a salt-baked prawn for Jiang Youyi.
“Eat more. It’s hard for you to drive.”
Jiang Youyi’s heart suddenly ached for Su Hui. As the most knowledgeable child in the class at that time, the child who ranked first in every exam and was guaranteed admission to a key university, she was actually driving an online car reservation now?
It wasn’t that driving a car online wasn’t good, but she felt that it was a little overkill.
“What about you? How have you been all these years?”
“I’m just like that… Haha.” Jiang Youyi laughed, making the atmosphere much more relaxed.
“I met Zhong Xiaohui a few years ago. She said that you were studying in Country Y.”
“Yes, I went overseas and drank some foreign ink to see the world. However, studying is not enough. I’ve been back for five years and haven’t found a job. Now, I’m just living at home and relying on my parents,” Jiang Youyi said conservatively.
“You have a good family background, so you don’t have to worry about food and accommodation. Your parents are capable, so they can support you. As a girl, don’t work so hard. After all, after marrying someone, you might not be able to live well at home. Only when your family is powerful and your parents are powerful will you have the right to rely on your elders. I’m a little envious.”
Su Hui’s EQ.was very high, and her speech was very accurate. When Jiang Youyi saw her, she immediately recalled many interesting things from her childhood and was filled with emotions.
“There’s nothing wrong with that. I highly agree. A daughter-in-law from heaven is inferior to a daughter from hell. Her biological parents will definitely treat her the best. As for marriage, it’s like opening a blind box. If she meets a good man, she can only say that she’s lucky.”
Jiang Youyi’s words made Su Hui laugh.
When the bill was paid, no matter how insistent Jiang Youyi was, Su Hui still insisted on paying. In the end, she was even about to get angry. Helpless, Jiang Youyi could only let her pay. However, Jiang Youyi’s heart ached for Su Hui. She knew that it was not easy for her to earn money in her current situation.
“Su Hui, it’s not easy for you to earn money.”
“Even so, there’s no difference in these few hundred yuan. You can’t even make me poor by eating. It’s really fate that we can meet again in such a big world. I even thought that you had settled overseas and wouldn’t be coming back.” Su Hui suddenly thought of when she was young. Every time Jiang Youyi came to school, she would bring pastries and sweets to study.
She came from a poor family and did not have the means to do so. She did eat a lot of good food with Jiang Youyi. At first, she was embarrassed, but later on, she felt more at ease by explaining math questions to Jiang Youyi.
It was said that children of the poor took charge early. Su Hui felt that she was one of them. Sometimes, it was not that you wanted to grow up, but reality forced you to grow up.
“I’ll look for Zhong Xiaohui later. Let’s meet again,” Jiang Youyi said.
“Yes, it’s much more convenient now that we’ve added each other on WeChat.”
“Where are you going? I’ll send you back,” Su Hui offered when she saw that Jiang Youyi wasn’t driving.
Jiang Youyi didn’t stand on ceremony. “Alright, then send me home. I’m tired too. I’ve been out for the whole day.”
In the end, Jiang Youyi only got Su Hui to send her to the road near the neighborhood and walked two miles home. Because Jiang Youyi’s house was in the villa area. Although it could not be said to be the top wealthy district in Ocean City, it was definitely a place that ordinary people could not afford in their lives.
In Jiang Youyi’s opinion, showing off one’s wealth in front of one’s friends was an evil in itself. It was an evil of human nature. She couldn’t do it.
After Su Hui’s car drove away, Jiang Youyi took out her phone and dialed a number on the way back.
“I had a female deskmate in primary school called Su Hui. She’s also from Ocean City. She’s a year older than me. Yes, she’s 24 years old this year. I don’t know where her family lives. She also has a younger brother. Investigate her experiences after graduating from university. The more detailed the better.” After Jiang Youyi finished her call, she entered the house.

Time flew by. In the blink of an eye, 10 years had passed. When they were middle-aged, Lu Yunxiao and Jiang Youyi were clutching their youthful tails tightly. They didn’t want to grow old, but seeing their children grow up day by day, they could only fight against time with all their might.
After they got married, Lu Yunxiao moved into Jiang Youyi’s sea of flowers villa while Jiang Youtian and Lin Feng bought the villa next door.
After some hard work, Jiang Youyi gave birth to a son and a daughter for Lu Yunxiao. The son’s name was Lu Tianhao, and the daughter’s name was Lu Tianran. Meanwhile, Jiang Youtian only gave birth to a son for Lin Feng called Lin Lang.
Lin Lang and Lu Tianran were seven years old and were in the first grade of primary school. The two of them were deskmates in the same class and looked very much like Lu Yunxiao. Lin Lang was very handsome and had his hands in his pockets all day long. He was as cool as his godfather, Lu Yunxiao. Lu Tianran had completely inherited Jiang Youyi’s beauty and was even prettier than Jiang Youyi in terms of facial features. It made Jiang Youtian clamor every day about getting them engaged. She thought that it was a joke, but more than ten years later, the two little fellows really got together and the two families lived extremely blissfully..
