Extra Chapter 4: Yu Yu and Su Hui’s Story
After more than a month, Yu Yu really did not see Su Hui again, nor did he hear any news about her. He wanted to ask Nan Ge indirectly, but he thought about it and decided not to.
The next time the two of them met was in August when Nan Ge got married.
Because she was the bridesmaid, Su Hui arrived three days early.
When the two of them met again, it was a little awkward.
While Nan Ge went upstairs to try on clothes, Yu Yu was stopped by her. Su Hui clearly did not want to be alone with him and wanted to slip away.
“Hey.” Yu Yu stopped her. “You’re really ruthless. You blocked me just like that.”
Hearing this, Su Hui turned around and crossed her arms as she replied arrogantly, “What’s wrong with blocking you? Is it illegal? What’s the point of me letting you occupy my list?”
As expected, her words were still so unpleasant.
Yu Yu pressed the tip of his tongue against his molars and squeezed out a smile. “At least we can be friends.”
Su Hui waved her index finger in front of him. “No, no, no.”
“It’s best if we don’t interact with each other. Otherwise, there will definitely be a lot of trouble in the future.”
“Why? Are you afraid that I’ll pester you?”
“Fine. I’m afraid I’ll pester you, okay?” Su Hui rolled her eyes. “If you still keep in touch with me, how are you going to fall in love and get married in the future? If your wife checks my contact details and asks you, how are you going to explain? Are you going to say that I’m the mobile customer service?”
“I don’t want to take the blame for you and be scolded. It’s better to cut it off cleanly. No one will delay each other.”
Before Yu could reply, Su Hui smiled mysteriously and leaned forward. “Hey, I heard that you’re preparing for a political marriage recently.”
Yu Yu asked, “Did Nan Ge tell you?”
“Not really. Is it true?”
Su Hui was extremely curious.
“Do you care?”
“It seems like it’s true… Then why do you still have to keep in touch with me?
You’re really unethical. Don’t drag me down with you. Leave me alone.”
Su Hui felt that if the two of them were both single, it was not a big deal to develop a relationship. They could just take what they needed.
However, if one party already had a girlfriend or even a marriage partner and still wanted to keep her contact information… Tsk, tsk, tsk. There was an 80% chance that they had impure motives.
Why else would this happen? Of course, he wanted sex, right?
It didn’t matter how Yu Yu played. In any case, she wasn’t involved.
She was a proper young lady and did not want to be a mistress.
She had the most basic moral bottom line and did not want to embarrass herself.
Besides, there were plenty of men out there. Why did she have to be obsessed with this one and attract trouble because of him?
After being scolded for no reason, Yu Yu was a little angry.
“That’s what the family wants. I didn’t agree. Have you asked clearly?”
Su Hui sized him up and tilted her head. “People from families like yours have
no freedom when it comes to marriage. Even if there’s no political marriage now, it’s only a matter of time, right? Moreover, you seem to be an only child. Are you going to go against the wishes of your elders?”
“You can’t assume it’s true for everyone. My family’s elders are all open-minded. There aren’t such things.”
When Nan Ge came down, she happened to hear them talking about this. She put in a good word for Yu Yu. “I can testify to this.”
Nan Ge was not lying, and neither was Yu Yu.
Because the Yu family only had one son, they did not want Yu Yu to use marriage as a bargaining chip to exchange for anything.
The reason why there was news of a marriage alliance was because Grandpa Yu was indeed old. He really hoped to see Yu Yu get married while he was still alive. Mrs. Yu felt that it was easy for Yu Yu to find a partner, but it was impossible for him to get married.
That was why Mrs. Yu wanted Yu Yu to get into a political marriage.
In the eyes of the family, Yu Yu had dated so many girlfriends, but he had never been serious. In that case, it was better for the family to help pick a girl with a clean family background whom they knew. They did not expect Yu Yu to know a girl whom he genuinely liked.
They had to find a wife for Yu Yu first. What if he fell in love with her over time?
It was no secret what Yu Yu’s private life was like. Therefore, if it was a political marriage, the other party would be mentally prepared.
In any case, in the eyes of the family, Yu Yu would most likely never get serious in this lifetime.
It was the same no matter who he married.
It was a classic act of giving up everything.
There was indeed nothing the family could do.
Mrs. Yu originally wanted to introduce her friend’s daughter to Yu Yu, but when she heard Yu Yu’s name, she rejected her directly. She did not even give him a chance to go on a blind date…
Because of this, Mrs. Yu was exasperated at his failure to meet expectations and even flew into a rage. She almost beat Yu Yu up again.
Seeing that Nan Ge had come down, Su Hui did not want to continue arguing with Yu Yu. She quickly pulled Nan Ge away and hid far away.
All the elders of the Yu family were present at Nan Ge’s wedding. Even Grandpa Yu, who had not left the house for a long time and was not in good health, specially rushed over in a wheelchair.
After the process was completed, everyone began to eat.
During the meal, Mrs. Yu realized that Yu Yu was frequently looking in Nan Ge’s direction.
At first, Mrs. Yu did not take it to heart. She only thought that he was looking at Nan Ge. After all, they were childhood friends who grew up together. At this moment, he must have mixed feelings.
“Alright, alright, stop looking. Youyou is already married. Hurry up.” Mrs. Yu symbolically urged him.
Yu Yu pretended not to hear her. After a while, he couldn’t help but glance over again.
After a few times, Mrs. Yu finally noticed something amiss.
Yu Yu did not seem to be looking at Nan Ge, but the bridesmaid following behind her…
Seeing this, Mrs. Yu was furious. She took the spoon beside her and knocked the back of his hand. She lowered her voice and said, “Yu Yu, don’t force me to slap you here.”
“???” Yu Yu was stunned. “What?”
What’s wrong now? He didn’t do anything…
Mrs. Yu said, “What are you looking at?! I realized that you’re still the same.
You can’t take your eves off young ladies. Have you never seen a woman in your
life? Can you be more polite? Why don’t you scram to a corner and sit at a table yourself? Don’t embarrass yourself by sitting with me!”
“Yu Yu”
“I… I wasn’t looking at anyone.” He refused to admit it.
“Do you think your mother is blind? Your eyes are almost glued to her. I’m curious. Why did I give birth to a son like you? When you see a girl, you’re like a dog seeing bones.”
“Yu Yu, when are you going to grow up? The family doesn’t object to you dating, but can you stop fooling with girls nonstop? Why don’t you take a look at what the outside world thinks of you? Usually, when you hang out with
Youyou, I’m afraid that you’ll ruin Youyou’s reputation! Sigh, if I were Youyou,
I would definitely regret knowing you and making friends carelessly!”
“I’m really curious. Do you really have any friends now? Tell me. How do you ingratiate yourself to the girls to get them?”
