“Rui Rui ah, Mum and Mrs Gu can be counted as friends who have known each other for many years. For this visit to the Gu family’s house, you can treat it as visiting the elder’s house. Don’t be under any pressure, ok?”

In the living room of the Su’s family house, Mrs Su held Su Rui’s hand and said with concern.

“I know. Don’t worry, Mum.” Su Rui smiled and nodded.

Both families met two days ago in the name of a blind date. It is impossible to say anything about the future since their ba zi[1] hasn’t been exchanged. Today’s meeting isn’t counted as meeting the parents.

After hearing her daughter’s response, and she saw that her daughter didn’t seem to be nervous, Liu Yue nodded her head.

“By the way, Mum,” Su Rui suddenly thought of something and asked, “If I am going to be visiting the Gu family as a guest, wouldn’t I need to bring some gifts?”

Liu Yue smiled like a flower that has bloomed after she heard her daughter’s question.

“Our Rui Rui has really grown up.” Liu Yue looked at her daughter and said with gratification.

If it had been a few years ago, Su Rui would have said that it is hypocritical to bring gifts when visiting someone’s house.

“Don’t worry.” Liu Yue said as she held Su Rui’s hands. “Mum has already prepared the gift for you.”

Luckily, Liu Yue is an impetuous person.

Once she knew that Yu Jing would invite Rui Rui over to her house, Liu Yue had everything prepared on the next day. Otherwise, nothing could be done since the other party is so anxious.

“Auntie Li[2]” Liu Yue instructed Auntie Li to bring over the things that were prepared for Su Rui.

“Rui Rui, I will ask Lao Zhang to send you. When it is six or seven o’clock in the evening, I will ask him to pick you up. Don’t stay too long in the Gu house, ok?”

“If Auntie Yu Jing asks you to stay for dinner, just say that dinner is already prepared at home.” When Su Rui was about to leave, Mrs Su pulled her daughter again to advise her.

Although she was the one who was spontaneously pushing for the blind date with the Gu family, Mrs Gu is even more prudent during this period.

“Alright, Mum. I got it.” Su Rui held Liu Yue’s hand and said as she playfully winked at her.

But, the look in the bottom of her eyes exudes seriousness.

Even though in the previous life, Su Rui was admitted into the hospital shortly after she stepped into society. But, many of the patients in her ward were aunties of a certain age.

After listening more to their conversations, Su Rui understood some principles.

Su Rui can guess Liu Yue’s concern.

Anyways, since Liu Yue doesn’t want to speak about it, she won’t stay in the Gu house for so long.

Besides, how can other people’s home be more comfortable than her own.

Looking at her daughter’s playfulness, Liu Yue also had a smile on her face.

She pretended to glare at Su Rui.

“Don’t be so playful. Mum said that for your own good.”

“En, I understand. Don’t worry. Anyways, I have to come back to attend tonight’s class.” Su Rui said.

As Liu Yue heard Su Rui mentioned about her classes, she frowned and glanced at Su Rui.

“Rui Rui, You can tell Mum. Have you really decided to learn these things?” Liu Yue asked.

Liu Yue is happy that her daughter has taken the initiative to enter and study at the Finance major.

However, for her to feel happy is one matter, to feel distressed for her is another matter.

Initially, Liu Yue wasn’t willing for Su Rui to learn these things, Liu Yue hopes that, as a girl, Su Rui would not be that tired when she takes over the company in the future.

According to Lao Su’s point of view, this is intended to let the child have some experience and understanding. If she really has no abilities in this area, they can find a professional manager.

Regarding this point, Liu Yue’s opinion was quite different from Father Su.

She is more willing for Su Rui to find a capable husband in the future so that he can help Su Rui and it will be more relaxing.

To say the least Lao Su’s health is still very good, and it would not be a problem for him to retire after about 20 years. If Rui Rui gets married earlier, by that time, the child would be an adult, and they could let the child directly inherit the Su family’s enterprise.

Just that, regardless of how Liu Yue thinks of it since Su Rui has lived again, Su Rui wanted to try to work hard on many things.

“I’m planning to study seriously,” Su Rui said seriously. She knew about Mrs Su’s worries. “But don’t worry, Mum. If it doesn’t work, I won’t force myself.”

“But…” After a pause, Su Rui gave a mysterious smile to Liu Yue, and said, “if you and dad are so reluctant to let your daughter work so hard, you can consider adding another younger brother to our Lao Su’s family. Anyways, the two-child policy is allowed now.”

Hearing Su Rui’s words, Liu Yue glared at Su Rui.

“Now, you dare to play a joke about your father and me. You have gained some skills?”

“No, no, I don’t dare.”

“Well, don’t talk nonsense anymore, quickly go,” Liu Yue said as she pretended to be disdained by what Su Rui has said. Her expression returned to seriousness, and said: “Since it is a visit, it isn’t polite to be late.

“Understood. Mum, I’m leaving now.”

[2] 李妈(lǐ mā)- The second word ma would usually mean mother. However, in this situation, it is used to call a middle aged or older servant. However, I thought that Auntie Li would be more suitable, and it would not be that confusing.
