Lin Chuchu was kind, but the kinder she was, the more Dai Huimin felt guilty. He clearly felt so guilty towards her, so how could he have the face to accept her kindness?
"Let's go. Since I'm already out, it doesn't matter if I send you back," Lin Chu said and walked forward.
Noticing that Cheng Ziming left without paying the bill, she sneered and walked to the counter to pay the bill.
Dai Huimin hurriedly stopped Lin Chu. "I've already troubled you today. How can I let you pay the bill? Let me."
Dai Huimin quickly took out her wallet. It was not for show.
Lin Chu thought about it. In order to make Dai Huimin feel better, he felt that the things weren't expensive, so he didn't insist and let Dai Huimin pay.
He brought Dai Huimin and Xu Jiaojia to the car. As they drove, Xu Jiaojia suddenly asked in a muffled voice, "You said that you don't let me take shortcuts and that I have to rely on myself. But don't you still rely on Yan Beicheng for everything? "
"Yes, but he's different. Our fate began when I was seven years old. We knew each other then. " Lin Chu didn't explain in detail and continued, "Later, when we met again, I didn't recognize him, but he recognized me. I don't want to find a rich young master, let alone someone with Yan Beicheng's identity. I know myself and know that I'm not good enough. I may not earn much from my job, but I believe that with my hard work, I will get better and better. I've always wanted to find an ordinary man and we can work together. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been with Cheng Ziming, who had nothing, in university. Just like when Cheng Ziming betrayed me, I wasn't that sad. I only believed that I could still live a good life. "
"I really rely on Beicheng now." Lin Chu glanced at Xu Jiaojia. "He gave me everything, but that's because I believe that he will love me for the rest of his life. I have this kind of luck, but you don't. So, don't even think about this kind of good thing. Just live honestly. "
Lin Chu knew that his situation wasn't a good example, so he could only talk to Xu Jiaojia about his mentality.
Xu Jiaojia was speechless.
Even if it was the truth, Lin Chu shamelessly said it as if he was showing off!
Xu Jiaojiao was extremely depressed. On one hand, she felt that what Lin Chu said made sense, but on the other hand, she felt stifled and flustered.
According to Dai Huimin's directions, Lin Chu drove the car downstairs.
Dai Huimin looked at the time. It was already one o 'clock. She asked carefully, "It's already so late. You haven't eaten yet. Why don't you come upstairs and sit down? I'll quickly cook two dishes. Let's eat together?"
Dai Huimin felt that Lin Chu might not agree, but she still tried to say it.
Lin Chu thought for a moment before asking, "Isn't it troublesome?"
"It's no trouble, no trouble at all!" Dai Huimin said, "Anyway, the two of us have to eat. It's just that our house is small and the dishes are simple. Please don't mind."
"I won't." As Lin Chu spoke, he pulled out the key. "The three of us probably don't eat much. Let's just make something simple."
"Okay, okay!" Dai Huimin hurriedly nodded and followed Xu Jiaojiao out of the car.
The Xu family lived on the third floor, and there was no elevator. Fortunately, Lin Chu usually practiced Pilates, so his physical strength was not bad. He did not feel tired going up to the third floor. Otherwise, if she didn't exercise and had a car to take when she went out, and there was an elevator for both the company and the house, she would really be lazy and fat.
The Xu family's house was not big, and it was not easy for the Xu family to live in a house with one bedroom and one living room. After all, this was B City.
They separated a small room in the living room for Xu Jiaojiao. It was only big enough to put a simple bed and a simple clothes rack. Next to the single bed was an ordinary chest of drawers, which was also used as a dressing table. There was a small mirror on top of it, and Xu Jiaojiao's daily cosmetics were displayed.
In the remaining space in the living room, there was a narrow three-seater sofa. The TV cabinet looked like it had been there for a long time, and the TV was quite small. It was estimated to be about thirty inches.
Next to the sofa was a folding table against the wall. Presumably, this was where the Xu family usually ate.
Although the house was small and particularly crowded, it was clean and not messy. It could be seen that Dai Huimin usually took good care of the house.
Thinking about how she had to go to the restaurant to help, whether it was big or small, as long as it was in the food and beverage industry, it was a hard and tiring job. Yet, she could still tidy up the house so neatly and properly. It could be seen that she was also a diligent person.
Dai Huimin was a little embarrassed and said embarrassedly, "Lin Chu, quickly sit down. The house is a little small."
"No, the house I used to rent with my friends was also very crowded." Lin Chu smiled.
She really didn't think that there was anything wrong with being small. Although it was small, it was warm.
If she could have parents and family, and grow up in such a warm and happy way, even if it was a little hard and crowded, she would still be happy.
Dai Huimin's smile froze, and she felt a little sad. Thinking about how Lin Chu didn't live well in the past, she started to blame herself.
However, she immediately raised a smile again. She didn't want to be depressed all day and put on a look of letting Lin Chu down. It would make people feel that she was pretending.
"You sit first, I'll go cook two dishes. It'll be quick!" Dai Huimin said to Xu Jiaojiao, "Jiaojiao, put down the table."
After saying that, she hurried to the kitchen.
Xu Jiaojiao was still depressed, and she didn't have the energy to work, so Lin Chu helped her set up the folding table that was standing by the wall.
Xu Jiaojiao looked around the environment and felt a little embarrassed. After the table was put down, there was almost no space to walk.
"I think that as long as a family can sit together and eat, no matter where or what the environment is, as long as a family supports each other, there's almost no place to walk. As long as a family supports each other, no matter what difficulties they face, they can get through it. There's no shame, "Lin Chu said faintly.
Xu Jiaojiao didn't know if she was embarrassed by Lin Chu's words, but she lowered her head and blushed, not saying anything for a while.
Dai Huimin came out to get the apron. Holding the apron in her hand, she heard Lin Chu's words. Her eyes were red and sore. She covered her mouth and rushed back to the kitchen. After closing the door, she leaned against the refrigerator and suppressed her tears.
After a while, she sniffed and wiped her tears with the apron. Then, she put on the apron and started to peel potatoes.
Xu Jiaojiao and Lin Chu sat there, the atmosphere was awkward. Xu Jiaojiao's eyes were red. After a long time, she asked with uncertainty, "Do you really think you can succeed by relying on your own hard work?"
Lin Chu sucked his lips and said, "You're not stupid. Otherwise, you wouldn't have been admitted to B University. I know your family's conditions. I'm afraid you've been relying on yourself since you were young. It's already not easy for your family to provide for you to go to school, and they don't have extra money to give you tutoring classes, interest classes, and so on. I know that nowadays, if children can't keep up with their progress, or if their ranking drops, their parents will hire a tutor to go to another school. You didn't. You relied on your own ability to get into B University. "
When Xu Jiaojiao heard this, she proudly puffed out her chest. "Also … I've received a lot of scholarships. It's not full, but it can reduce a lot of the pressure of school fees."
Lin Chu smiled faintly and nodded. "Since you have the ability to get into B University on your own without relying on anyone, then you have the ability to make a career on your own. You don't need to compare yourself with those famous tycoons. You just need to rely on your brain and work hard step by step. You should be able to become a small boss, right? Don't rely on men, rely on yourself, and move out to a big house. Let your parents go out and happily say that it was their daughter who bought it. Our daughter is really capable. " She has the ability, the qualifications, the ability to make money, and the good looks. She can also attract men with the same qualifications to like you. But they won't think that you're after them. The two of you are the same, so you won't feel that you're inferior to them. "
"Is that how you feel now?" Xu Jiaojiao asked boldly.
Lin Chu raised his eyebrows and said, "I know you envy me. There's a girl who grew up in the same orphanage as me. She also has the same idea as you. She thinks that since I'm lucky to be able to find someone like Yan Beicheng, then she won't be any worse than me. Now she's with Lu Weining's brother, but they don't have a title. That man has never even admitted that she's his girlfriend. Indeed, no one can guarantee that they'll be able to marry their current lover in the end. But at least they should have the identity of a girlfriend, right? Just because she wants to compare with me, just like you, she doesn't even want this basic respect. "
Xu Jiaojiao pursed her lips and lowered her head, feeling a little ashamed.
"Not everyone can be like Beicheng, seriously in love, seriously dating with marriage as the prerequisite. He doesn't care about my identity and background, and only likes me. He doesn't think that he can bully and play with me as he pleases just because of my identity. But you have to know that men like Lu Zhenghang and Cheng Ziming are the majority. Even I don't believe that without Yan Beicheng, there's anyone else who can be as good as him. If it wasn't for him, he wouldn't have fallen for me. Don't you think so? "
Xu Jiaojiao paused and nodded, taking Lin Chu's words to heart.
"Beicheng treats me well, so I increasingly feel that I can't be so useless. I can't be useless. I can't take it for granted and hand over all the heavy responsibilities to him. I can only be a subordinate. Even if it's me, I have to find a way to work hard. Even if I can't reach Beicheng's level in this lifetime, at least I can't let people always say that he found a useless wife because of me.
"Xu Jiaojiao, a man who's so much more outstanding than you will have to bear the pressure while you enjoy all of this. Do you understand? So, I advise you to improve yourself and find a man who's worthy of you. When the time comes, you won't do it for money. Even if that man isn't as outstanding as you, you can still be proud and not worry about your future. Even if you're the one raising him, as long as you love him, you'll be happy. If you meet an outstanding man and you love him, you won't feel that you're not worthy of him.
"I didn't have the chance to become outstanding before meeting Yan Beicheng, but I never regretted meeting him first. As long as you work hard, it's not too late, "Lin Chu said.
