Dai Huimin was already very happy that she didn't reject him immediately. Her heart was getting warmer and more hopeful, and the soreness in her eyes was getting worse.
But when she thought of Lin Chu's identity, she wasn't so sure anymore.
She said hesitantly, "I know, you're used to eating good food. Maybe … maybe you're not used to the food we make …"
Lin Chu hesitated for a moment before saying, "No, we eat the same as you. No one eats more expensive food."
Dai Huimin seemed to see hope, and her teary eyes became brighter. "Our small restaurant was opened with a conscience. Everything is fresh, and even the oil is genuine peanut oil, not gutter oil. It's not even those genetically modified blended oil. You can eat it without worry! "
Dai Huimin smiled embarrassedly. "Our lives are really getting better and better. Jiaojiao also found a job. I heard that it's a company called Lin. I've never heard of it, but she said that the company is pretty good and the benefits are not bad. I told her to work hard and not ask for a promotion. As long as she has the qualifications, the benefits won't be bad. "
Dai Huimin saw that Lin Chu didn't look impatient, so she sneaked a glance at Yan Beicheng. Yan Beicheng was expressionless and didn't even raise his eyebrows.
She picked up a Thai sweet and spicy prawn, peeled the shell, and placed it on Lin Chu's plate. Seeing that Lin Chu's bowl of fresh vegetable soup was already half-empty, she filled it up for him.
Dai Huimin quietly noticed that from the beginning until now, Yan Beicheng didn't really care about his own food. He kept looking at Lin Chu to see if he was eating well, which dishes he liked to eat, and what was empty on his plate.
She then noticed that Lin Chu didn't actually stretch out his chopsticks the whole time. It was enough for him to just eat on the plate in front of him.
Dai Huimin suddenly felt that Yan Beicheng wasn't that scary anymore. Not to mention someone of Yan Beicheng's status, even an ordinary person wouldn't be so considerate. It could even be said that he spoiled his wife.
Even a young man in love wouldn't be like this.
Seeing that Lin Chu was doing well, she also felt comfortable. She also sighed that Lin Chu was a lucky person.
Because of Lin Chu and Yan Beicheng, Dai Huimin thought of Xu Jiaojiao again and said, "Jiaojiao seems to have a boyfriend recently. This child has always been self-respecting and didn't have puppy love when she was in school. Even in college, she had never had a boyfriend. Actually, I think it's good to have a relationship after going to university. But she didn't want to. She was a child with her own ideas, so I didn't care. But since a while ago, she got a lot of beautiful clothes, bags, and always brought things home, like skincare products, and always bought things for me and her dad. "
As she spoke, Dai Huimin leaned forward as if she was afraid of being overheard. "Yesterday, I heard her secretly talking on the phone in her room. I couldn't hear it clearly since the door was closed, but I could vaguely tell that she was in love. The things she brought home these days were all gifts from her boyfriend. I think he's her superior in the same company. He's young and promising. He's quite nice. "
Lin Chu lowered his gaze, hesitating whether he should say it or not. Looking at Dai Huimin's happy face, he suddenly couldn't bear to see her disappointed.
Dai Huimin glanced at Yan Beicheng again before quietly moving closer to Lin Chu and whispering, "I'm happy that Jiaojiao's boyfriend is so capable. No matter what, this will give you some confidence in our family. I know you don't lack anything. "
Dai Huimin wrung her hands and rubbed them again. "But I still want to give you more things, just like …"
Just like how a mother would treat her daughter.
Lin Chu looked at Dai Huimin with a complicated heart. Maybe Dai Huimin wasn't smart, but he knew that Dai Huimin didn't have any bad intentions towards him.
She sincerely hoped that Xu Jiaojiao would get better, and from her words, she was proud of Xu Jiaojiao. Even if she knew that Xu Jiaojiao didn't care about it, Dai Huimin still hoped that her family could get better. If anything happened, she could support Lin Chu.
Maybe Dai Huimin was timid and selfish when she was young, and she didn't dare to take responsibility. But after decades, she also suffered a lot. She was deceived, but it wasn't easy for her to still maintain her conscience and be kind.
Lin Chu might not be close to her, but he didn't want to be too harsh on her.
She turned to look at Yan Beicheng. Yan Beicheng understood her gaze and nodded at her.
No matter what decision she made, he would support her.
This was also the reason why she agreed to let Yan Beicheng come over. With him around, she would have a pillar of support. No matter what decision she made, she would feel at ease.
Lin Chu then looked at Dai Huimin and said, "I've met Xu Jiaojiao's boyfriend."
"Really?" Dai Huimin said in surprise. She moved closer to Lin Chu and excitedly wanted to grab her hand. But when her hand reached out halfway, she stopped.
Dai Huimin nervously and awkwardly retracted her hand. She clenched it tightly, as if she was trying to restrain herself from stretching it out again.
Lin Chu glanced at her and heard Dai Huimin ask, "Then … what about her boyfriend? You're more knowledgeable than us, so you're definitely more accurate than Jiaojiao. She just graduated from university, and I'm also worried that she's too innocent and will be cheated. Look at that young man, is he honest? "
Dai Huimin seemed to have thought of her past, so she was especially careful in this aspect.
Lin Chu sucked his lips and said, "I know that man."
"What a coincidence! Then tell me about him, "Dai Huimin said in surprise. But when she saw Lin Chu's expression, she immediately asked nervously," Is he not very good? If he's not good, tell me the truth so that Jiaojiao won't be at a disadvantage. "
"He's married, and he's the son-in-law of Chairman Lin Mao. His wife's name is Lin Yuwen, and she's the family that adopted me. Lin Yuwen is my sister in name, "Lin Chu said," Lin Yuwen is infertile, so I think Cheng Ziming and Xu Jiaojiao aren't only together because he likes her. I'm afraid there's some other meaning. "
"He … he wants Jiaojiao to give birth to his child outside and secretly raise it?" Dai Huimin felt as if all the blood in her body had left her body, and even her bones were cold.
Dai Huimin's guess was similar to Lin Chu's, but Lin Chu didn't echo her. He just objectively told her about Cheng Ziming's situation. "Cheng Ziming is now Lin Mao's general manager, and Xu Jiaojiao works in Lin Mao. It's impossible that she doesn't know that Cheng Ziming is the Lin family's son-in-law. She's obviously willing to be with Cheng Ziming. I don't know what she's planning. Is she really waiting for Cheng Ziming to divorce and be with her, or is she willing to be Cheng Ziming's mistress and give birth to his child? "
"It's just that I feel that no matter which one it is, it's unreliable. Cheng Ziming still has to rely on the Lin family, so he won't divorce easily. Even if he really does divorce, can he really be with Xu Jiaojiao? Cheng Ziming is good-looking, and because of his relationship with the Lin family, he has some money and is Lin Mao's general manager. His physical appearance can indeed attract some women. Because Xu Jiaojiao is very clear about Cheng Ziming's situation, I didn't tell her about these things. She already knows what she needs to know, and even if I tell her again, she won't listen. "
"You're the one who asked me today, so I'm going to explain everything to you. Go back and think about how to deal with this matter, "Lin Chu said.
This matter still depended on Xu Jiaojiao's parents. If her parents felt that it didn't matter, then Lin Chu couldn't say anything. If Dai Huimin didn't accept it, then Dai Huimin would solve it herself.
No matter what method she used, she had to make Xu Jiaojiao break up with Cheng Ziming.
Right now, Xu Jiaojiao mostly wanted to take advantage of her, so she wouldn't listen to what Lin Chu had to say.
"I definitely can't let her become a married man's mistress! More importantly, I can't let her give birth to an illegitimate child without a proper status. " Dai Huimin immediately said decisively, "I've already experienced it myself, so how can I let my daughter go through it again?! I … I'll go back today and make it clear to her that she's not allowed to be together with that Cheng Ziming! "
After saying that, Dai Huimin clenched her fists and pounded her legs in exasperation. "That child … Why doesn't that child have any self-respect?! Isn't there any other man? She had to find someone with a family! She … What the hell is she thinking?! "
"Don't worry, she's only been in Lin Mao for a few months, so her relationship with Cheng Ziming might not be that deep. So, it's not too late, "Lin Chu comforted.
Dai Huimin nodded absentmindedly and sighed gloomily. "I really don't expect her to marry a rich man, as long as he treats her well. Like her father, he's not a very capable person, but he's honest, responsible, and good to me. He knows about my past, but he doesn't despise me. Even when he didn't know your identity, he told me that when our family's conditions are better, he would bring you back and let you live a good life. I've suffered losses before, so I know very well that finding a reliable man doesn't mean sharing weal and woe with you. It's just a mutual support. "
"Although our family isn't very rich now, it's much better than before. Jiaojiao doesn't lack food and clothing, so she really doesn't need to find a married man for money. That child … that child really pisses me off! I told her that the most important thing to find a man is to have a sense of responsibility. But a man who can keep a mistress behind his wife's back, how can he talk about a sense of responsibility?! "
According to Lin Chu, Cheng Ziming also relied on his wife to become Lin Mao's general manager. He got so much by relying on his wife, but in the end, he betrayed her. How could he be a good person?!
It was rare for Lin Chu to agree with Dai Huimin's words.
After lunch, when they were about to leave, Dai Huimin grabbed the string of the paper bag and said, "I'll go back and keep a close eye on Jiaojiao, and make her break up."
Lin Chu nodded and didn't say anything.
Dai Huimin lowered her head and looked at the paper bag with the gold bracelet in it. She moved her mouth and wanted to give it to Lin Chu, but she was afraid that she would refuse.
But she did buy it with a lot of sincerity. The reason why she came so late was that a three-year deposit book at home had just expired not long ago. If she withdrew it early, she would lose all the interest. That was why she waited until last week. As soon as it expired, she quickly transferred it to her card and went to the mall with the card.
