But after listening to the old dean's words, she knew that she had made too many mistakes. Later, it wasn't because Huang Zhangxian was watching over her, but because she didn't have the face to look for Lin Chu again. The guilt in her heart was hard to fill, and she was always clutching her heart, making it ache.
She also told Xu Jiaojiao not to harass Lin Chu in the future. She even quarreled with Xu Jiaojiao and almost hit her.
She felt that since she couldn't do anything for Lin Chu and had made so many mistakes, she should at least not cause trouble for Lin Chu and make her angry.
Until Xu Jiaojiao saw the news that Lin Chu and Yan Beicheng were married. She thought that she had never done anything for Lin Chu, so she took out the money she had saved for a long time and went to the mall to pick out this pair of dragon and phoenix bracelets. She hoped that Lin Chu could accept it, and she hoped that she could do something for him.
"You're married, and I can't do anything. I thought about it, but I don't know what to give you. I thought that there was such a custom in my hometown. I don't have the ability, and I'm not as powerful as the Yan family. I don't know any powerful people, I don't have that kind of connections, and I don't have much money. But I also want to do my best. This bracelet … is what I can do. I can't do much, but as long as I can do it, I want to do it for you. Lin Chu, I beg you, just accept it. Just … just let me do something for you, just a little! "
Lin Chu's eyes were a little wet, and his heart softened. "Actually, you just need to bless me. If you really want to give me something, it doesn't have to be so expensive. I understand your intentions. I understand your intentions, and you can leave this pair of bracelets for Xu Jiaojiao. She needs it for her wedding. "
"Are you … unwilling to accept it?" Dai Huimin asked sadly.
"No, don't misunderstand. I really understand your intentions. I know that you don't covet anything, and I know that you really want to do something for me. I know all of this, and I'm not rejecting your intentions. On the contrary, I accept your intentions. But I also know your family's situation, so it's better to keep this bracelet for a more useful time, "Lin Chu said softly.
Seeing that Lin Chu wasn't rejecting her, Dai Huimin finally believed him.
But he still insisted on giving her the bracelet. "Our family isn't in such a difficult situation now, really."
"Your uncle … my husband and I opened a small restaurant. It's not big, and we rented a small apartment on the first floor by the street. He was a chef and his culinary skills were quite good, but he couldn't always work under someone else's hands. So, we took out our savings and opened a restaurant before the New Year. He made some home-cooked stir-fry, pork ribs, rice, and dumplings. They weren't expensive, so the capital wasn't high, and the business was good. Those who work nearby, as well as primary school students, spend a dozen yuan a day to come here and eat their fill. "
"Coincidentally, there's an old lady in the building next to our restaurant who is paralyzed and needs someone to clean her feces and urine. You don't need to do anything else. Just go over twice a day and move the old lady to the toilet. After that, carry her back to the bed to sleep. Pay me 1,500 yuan a month."
"I can save a few thousand yuan a month like this." Dai Huimin was very happy when she mentioned it. "So, it's enough to buy for Jiaojiao."
Dai Huimin carefully handed the bag to Lin Chu, but she didn't dare to force it into her hands. Afraid that she would be unhappy, she simply let go and let the bag fall to the ground.
Although the gold bracelet was protected by a box, it was the first time that Dai Huimin sold such an expensive thing, so it was still very precious.
Dai Huimin's expression was nervous and timid, and her hands holding the bag couldn't stop trembling. She looked at Lin Chu with a face full of begging.
Lin Chu had always been amenable to coaxing but not coercion. Seeing Dai Huimin's appearance, he didn't have the heart to say anything harsh, but he also didn't dare to accept it. His heart was very conflicted.
Dai Huimin's eyes trembled, and her eyes were sad and disappointed. There was an unspeakable sadness in them. Man Man lowered her head and didn't speak. She slowly took back the bag and held it in her hand. But looking at her, she was disheartened. She was obviously disappointed, but she didn't dare to show it in front of Lin Chu, which made people feel unspeakably uncomfortable.
Lin Chu's mouth moved and asked, "You haven't eaten yet, right?"
Dai Huimin was startled and obviously froze. Her lips trembled as she raised her head, but she couldn't speak, so she slowly shook her head.
Lin Chu thought for a moment and said, "Have a meal with me."
Dai Huimin didn't know whether Lin Chu wanted to tell her clearly not to bother her anymore, or whether he was a little soft-hearted towards her.
But Dai Huimin was still very happy to be able to eat with Lin Chu. Tears flashed in the corners of her eyes, and she was so excited that she couldn't speak. She kept nodding, crying and laughing.
When Lin Chu saw this, he couldn't tell what kind of feeling he had in his heart. It couldn't be said that he was close to Dai Huimin and had a feeling of blood connection. In fact, he was still very unfamiliar with Dai Huimin, and he couldn't have much feelings for her.
But looking at Dai Huimin's cautious appearance, his heart softened and he felt sorry.
Although she said that she treated Dai Huimin as a stranger, in fact, she was more polite to strangers than to Dai Huimin.
Lin Chu couldn't help but wonder if his attitude was right.
Seeing that Dai Huimin was uneasy, as if she was quite afraid of him, and wanted to get close to him but didn't dare to.
Lin Chu sighed and said, "Come with me."
Dai Huimin let out a happy sigh and quickly wiped away her tears. She carefully followed behind Lin Chu like a follower, even worse than Aunt Zhuang.
When Lin Chu saw this, he slowed down and walked side by side with Dai Huimin.
However, Dai Huimin was also a step slower and maintained her position behind Lin Chu.
Lin Chu: "…"
Lin Chu tilted her head and glanced at her. She didn't say anything and walked in front of Shao Huai. Seeing that Shao Huai was puzzled, she said, "We'll just have a meal nearby. You go back first. I'll explain to Beicheng."
Shao Huai looked at Dai Huimin again. He seemed to be worried, but in the end, he didn't go against Lin Chu's wishes. He nodded and drove away.
Lin Chu brought Dai Huimin to a nearby restaurant. On the way, he called Yan Beicheng.
Before this, Shao Huai had already told Yan Beicheng. So when he received Lin Chu's call, Yan Beicheng wasn't surprised.
Lin Chu told him about meeting Dai Huimin and wanting to have a meal with her. Yan Beicheng didn't object. He only said, "Do you want me to accompany you?"
Lin Chu thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "Alright. If you're not busy, come over."
At this time, Lin Chu brought Dai Huimin into the restaurant and directly told Yan Beicheng the name of the restaurant.
After thinking about it again, he felt that it wasn't appropriate for Yan Beicheng to come over and sit with them in the lobby. Yan Beicheng was too conspicuous, so he asked the waiter if there was a private room.
There was actually one empty. Although he had to pay an additional 15% service fee, Lin Chu didn't care and asked for one.
Then, he told Yan Beicheng the name of the private room and told him to come in directly.
After entering, Lin Chu ordered a few dishes. He didn't ask for too much, just enough for three people.
Not long after the waiter left, Yan Beicheng came.
Dai Huimin was already very nervous when facing Lin Chu. She hadn't watched Lin Chu grow up. Although they were related by blood, she was still very unfamiliar with him. That was one reason. There was another reason that Dai Huimin couldn't explain. She always felt that Lin Chu's temperament and aura made people want to look up to him. She was nervous when she was with him.
Actually, even Lin Chu didn't notice it. It was just that she had been with Yan Beicheng for a long time, so she couldn't help but be affected by his aura. Even some of her habitual small actions were a little similar to Yan Beicheng's.
In addition, she was usually with Yan Beicheng, Chu Zhaoyang, and the others, so it was inevitable that she would be influenced by them. Most people would be nervous and afraid when facing Chu Zhaoyang and the others, but Lin Chu was familiar with them, so his attitude and speech were very casual. It was obvious that as time passed, his temperament would naturally lean towards their direction.
Jiang Changdai and Lu Weining always looked down on Lin Chu's background, but they had never seriously looked at Lin Chu. Otherwise, they would definitely realize that with Lin Chu's current temperament, they couldn't compare at all!
Then, Yan Beicheng came over and sat side by side with Lin Chu. His aura was even more incomparable, but it made Dai Huimin unbearably nervous. She was originally so excited that she couldn't speak properly, but now she was so nervous that she couldn't even speak.
Lin Chu couldn't bear to look at her, so he said, "Don't be nervous, he doesn't eat people."
When Dai Huimin heard that Lin Chu rarely spoke to her in such a good tone, she boldly raised her head. In the end, she glanced at Yan Beicheng and saw that he still had a solemn expression on his face. Her courage immediately deflated, and she listlessly drooped her shoulders.
The waiter brought the dishes over. Lin Chu thought of Xu Jiaojiao and asked, "You guys … How have you been recently?"
Dai Huimin suddenly raised her head. Her face was filled with surprise that she couldn't hide in time, but she quickly tried to control her expression.
She kept looking at Lin Chu and not at Yan Beicheng. Although she was still very stressed, at least she felt that she could speak now.
"Good, we're all doing well!" Dai Huimin nodded excitedly, but her hands were still nervously placed on her knees under the table. She clenched her fists tightly and couldn't help but twist her fingers.
It was rare for Dai Huimin to have such a peaceful chat with Lin Chu, so she was pleasantly surprised and treasured it. She couldn't care less about her nervousness and hurriedly started talking. "Didn't I just tell you that we opened a small restaurant? Although we invested a lot of our savings, looking at the income since we opened, our investment was still worth it. Your uncle cooks very well. If you don't … don't mind, you can … you can come over to our place for a meal. Let him prepare some dishes for you to try. He has quite a few of his specialties, and they're very delicious. "
"I … I'm also quite good at cooking. Although it's not as good as his, his dishes taste like a restaurant, and mine taste like a home. If you're willing, I … I'll cook for you too. "The more Dai Huimin spoke, the more she trembled.
Lin Chu didn't object, but he also didn't agree.
