“Our Lao Su’s family should be considered a dignified big enterprise, right? And my father is still one of the top ten entrepreneurs in the city. If Lao Su’s daughter is treated specially when she attends university and if others were to know of it, how disgraceful would that be.” Su Rui blinked her eyes at Liu Yue and said slowly.
“So, let’s not have any special treatment,” said Su Rui as she held Liu Yue’s hand.
“Besides, I’ll be back once a week.”
“And, Mum, if something were to happen, you can give me a call. Won’t I unrelentingly respond to your call?”
Although Liu Yue knew what her daughter said were mostly lies, she had to say that Su Rui’s words pleased her.
“Only you know how to talk.” Liu Yue pretended to glare at Su Rui angrily. When she looked at her daughter, her eyes contained happiness.
“Rui Rui, if you want to live in school premises then live in the school premises. But, you must pay attention to safety in school, do you understand? And in the dormitory…”
Liu Yue relentlessly advised Su Rui repeatedly.
“By the way,” she looked at her distressfully and added, “you’ve packed your luggage and didn’t miss out on anything right?”
“En, they are all inside. It’s alright. Don’t worry, Mum.”
“No, I’ll check it for you again.”
As Su Rui heard what she had said, she didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
Mother Su really treats her like a giant baby ah.
Su Rui originally attended university before. She was very experienced. Besides, if she really missed something out, small items can be bought at any time. It wouldn’t hold up her affairs if she picked up the big items when she returns.
However, knowing that Madam Liu Yue was like how most parents would react, Su Rui did not stop her.
“Why did you bring so little clothes ah, you should bring more. It’s not like we can’t carry them since we’ll drive the day after tomorrow. “ said Mother Su.
“I’m returning home every week. I don’t need to bring a lot.” Su Rui explained.
Hearing Su Rui’s explanation, Mother Su thought it was quite reasonable and nodded with satisfaction.
“Yes, but do you have all the other daily necessities?”
“Yes.”
“Also,” Mother Su said and she continued, ‘Do you want to take your doll with you?”
Su Rui couldn’t control herself as her mouth twitched when she heard Mother Su’s question.
The doll Mother Su has mentioned was a giant teddy bear that Father Su bought for the former “Su Rui”. Now, it was still lying in Su Rui’s big bed.
As the original Su Rui liked it a lot, Mother Su didn’t throw it away and kept it well.
As for whether the original body said, “There’s a good quality of sleep when she sleeps with a big bear” was true or not, Su Rui doesn’t know. Anyway, she really doesnt have such a need.
The 1.8metre teddy bear was placed on the king size bed in her room. She can just move it away in the room. If she really brought it to the dormitory, where would she sleep?
“There’s no need for that.” Su Rui straightforwardly refused her mother’s good intentions.
“Alright, Mum, I’m already grown up. Besides, I’m attending University B which is simply like attending school that’s at our doorsteps. There’s no need for any worries.” Su Rui said as she linked arms with Liu Yue.
Finally, she sent Madam Liu Yue out of the room, who still had ten thousand pieces of advice that she hadn’t explained. Su Rui laid down on the bed, picked up her mobile phone and prepared to scroll through WeChat.
Previously, when she and Su Hong Yuan went through the enrolment formalities, Su Rui asked her form tutor[1] to add her into the class group chat.
At the moment, Su Rui wanted to see if there were any new notifications in the group chat.
The red dot with “1” in the address book in the WeChat application below attracted Su Rui’s attention.
She subconsciously pressed it.
Then, looking at the words ‘I’m Gu Yu Cheng.’, Su Rui slightly frowned.
Other than the fact that Mother Su and Mrs Gu have known each other for many years, there was not much dealings between their family, neither in business nor socially, which has been confirmed by her father before.
So, when Su Rui saw Gu Yu Cheng’s friend application, Su Rui felt it was odd. She thought about it and chose to ignore it.
Well, she can pretend that she didn’t see it, should be fine.
She didn’t pay attention to Gu Yu Cheng and began to prepare for the start of school.
On the third day, in order to report to the Department of Economics and Management of University B.
Liu Yue said that she would send Su Rui on the day when school starts, she didn’t put it to heart.
Just that, she didn’t expect that the word “send” that Madam Liu Yue has mentioned was so grand.
Not only did Mother Su and several aunties from her home were there, but also comrade Su Hong Yuan who should be presiding over the overall situation in the company.
And
Who’s this?
Su Rui looked at the man behind her parents doubtfully.
[1] The teacher in charge of the class Su Rui is in.
