"Okay!" Su Yun agreed without a second thought.Then, the two walked out of the coffee shop under everyone's gaze.As soon as he stepped out, Su Yun saw a pink Bentley parked at the entrance."This car looks pretty good; it's more suitable for girls," Su Yun said, looking at the car."Oh... I also think it's quite suitable for girls..." Bai Qian said with a faint smile, but she didn't even glance at the Bentley.With that, Su Yun drove Bai Qian towards the city center."What should we eat?" Su Yun asked while driving.It naturally didn't matter what he ate, but it was different when someone else was eating with him."Hmm... something simple will do...""I know a newly opened hotpot restaurant. How about we go for hotpot?" Bai Qian's eyes lit up as she suggested.Su Yun nodded in agreement, realizing it had been a while since he last had hotpot.Following Bai Qian's directions, Su Yun drove to the hotpot restaurant.The name of the restaurant was "Shuan Tianfu"!Wow, that's quite an ambitious name!Although this restaurant was newly opened, it had recently become very popular online, and Su Yun had heard about it.Even though it was considered an internet-famous spot, its quality and taste were very authentic. The owner and staff were all from Tianfu, and their seasonings also had exclusive secret recipes.At midday, the restaurant was almost full. Su Yun and Bai Qian found a corner table and sat down.Looking at the menu, despite being in the city center, the prices at this restaurant were not expensive, which explained the continuous stream of customers.The two ordered several plates of meat, yellow throat, braised pork intestines, pig brain, tripe, shrimp paste, and other ingredients, along with a plate of egg-fried rice.As for the spice level, they were the type who loved spicy food but couldn't handle too much, so they only ordered the Cantonese spicy flavor specially introduced by the restaurant.Soon, all the dishes were served.The rich aroma of the hotpot broth, combined with absolutely fresh ingredients, instantly whetted their appetites.He ate a piece of tripe, and it was incredibly crispy!"How is it? This restaurant is pretty good, isn't it?" Bai Qian asked with a smile."Mm, the taste is really good. Although I haven't eaten in Tianfu, I feel this taste is just as good." The taste was indeed excellent, and Su Yun found it very palatable.Bai Qian also nodded in strong agreement.Just as Su Yun was about to eat a second piece of tripe, a call came in. He picked up his phone and saw it was his mother calling."Hello, Mom, is something wrong?" Su Yun answered the phone."Nothing much, how's that job you've been doing recently? Haven't you run into any trouble?" Chen Cuifen asked. Ever since Su Yun sent tens of thousands of yuan home last time, she had been restless. Where would a freshly graduated college student get so much money?And hearing Su Yun say he was doing some kind of business, Chen Cuifen felt more and more uneasy the more she thought about it. Could her son have done something illegal?Thus, she made the call."Son, let me tell you, we absolutely cannot do anything illegal! You just graduated, we don't need to aim too high. Finding a job that can sustain you is enough, there will be plenty of opportunities later!"Hearing his mother's words, Su Yun smiled helplessly.Goodness, just sending tens of thousands of yuan home made his mother so suspicious. What if he had sent a million?Su Yun could have mentioned the news of winning thirty million yuan, but he was afraid his family wouldn't be able to accept it all at once, so he simply didn't say anything."Don't worry, Mom, how could I do such things? Every penny I earn is clean! You can rest assured!""How's everyone at home recently? Is Dad and my sister doing well?" Su Yun asked."That's good...""You don't need to worry about home, everyone is doing well. It's just your sister, she's been down in the dumps lately, and she won't say why when I ask. I suspect she might have broken up with someone she was dating.""Ai, she listens to you the most, but you're not home. It would be great if you could talk to her," his mother said with some worry."Oh! No problem, I'll find some time to go home and talk to her. She's in her third year of high school now, she can't be distracted by certain things.""Just spend the money I sent you, don't be frugal," Su Yun instructed."Mm-hmm, oh, by the way, you know your cousin Han De from your aunt's side, his college entrance exam results are out, right? I heard ◆ Nоvеlіgһt ◆ (Only on Nоvеlіgһt) he scored over six hundred points, even higher than your score back then!""Now your aunt calls me every day, and in all her words, she's saying her family is richer than ours, and her son is better than you!""Everyone in the village is also saying that Han De, who plays all the time, scored over six hundred, while his cousin Su Yun, who studied diligently every day, only scored over five hundred. The difference is clear when you compare them.""Everyone says Han De is a smart kid, and you're a slow one. The key is they don't usually say this, but they say it whenever they see us.""Ai ya, your dad was so angry that day, he came home and drank in silence.""Ai, you say Han De is usually unreliable, how did his college entrance exam score turn out so amazing!" Chen Cuifen said, completely puzzled.She wasn't hoping Han De would fail, but rather that the effort and reward didn't seem proportional, which was truly perplexing."Mom, you two don't need to overthink this. Don't you know what Han De is usually like?""Don't pay attention to what others say, there's no need to compare. Isn't it enough that you know your son is earning money now?""Try to be happier." Su Yun knew his aunt's character. When Han De was born, he had a birthmark on his leg, and she claimed it was a reincarnation of the God of Literature, showing it off everywhere until everyone knew about Han De's birthmark on his thigh.This time, Han De lied about scoring over six hundred, and given his aunt's character, who knows how far that news has spread?If her voice wasn't so soft, probably the entire city of Jiangcheng would know.After a few more words with his mother, Su Yun hung up the phone. He looked up to see Bai Qian watching him with amusement, having listened with great interest."Was that Auntie calling?" Bai Qian asked."Yes, she was talking about some family matters," Su Yun replied.Then the two continued to eat while chatting.After finishing all the dishes, both of them were full.When it was time to pay, Bai Qian insisted on paying the bill. The entire meal cost less than five hundred yuan.Just as they walked out the door, Su Yun was about to say something when he suddenly felt a tap on his shoulder."Oh! Isn't this Lao Su?""What are you doing here?"Su Yun turned his head and saw a dark-skinned young man, who was his cousin, Han De."Oh, it's my younger cousin! You came to Jiangcheng to play?" Su Yun asked, looking him up and down."Brother Han, who is this? Why is he calling you 'younger cousin' directly?" asked one of the young men standing next to Han De, looking puzzled.Instantly, Han De felt a great loss of face.Although Su Yun was his older cousin, he was inferior to him in all aspects. How could he call him 'younger cousin' in public? Wasn't this deliberately making him lose face?"Just a passerby," Han De said, feigning profoundness, then patted Su Yun's shoulder again and said, "Lao Su, look.""My college entrance exam was just average, around six hundred points. My family got me a car; it's not expensive, just over a hundred thousand!" Han De looked at Su Yun with a smug expression, as if showing off.A manual laborer would probably need a loan to buy a car in the future, unlike himself, who had a car right after the college entrance exam.At once, the smugness in Han De's heart showed on his face, and he looked at Su Yun with disdain.Su Yun followed the direction Han De was pointing.He saw a shiny, old model Volkswagen magotan with scratches parked there...
