Chapter 379: Chapter 380 The relationship between me and Liusu is exposed?

It turned out that Shu Tong moved to Liusu’s place not only because her family was worried that a girl living alone outside was dangerous… I started to admire Shu Tong a little bit.

Originally, as long as she wanted, she could easily tell her family situation to Liu Xiaosheng, then her conditions would be greatly improved, but she did not do that. In today’s society where people would do anything for money, her action may only be regarded as hypocritical by most people.

However, people who knew her would definitely feel that her behavior was commendable… Perhaps Liu Xiaosheng wanted to conquer her, precisely because of her personality. For the rich, what could be more challenging than conquering a woman like her?

Mother Shu was also proud of having such a daughter, but then I suddenly heard her say, “Yes, Tong Tong doesn’t have money, but Xiao Chu has.”

I was speechless when I heard this. Did she forget that I was the fake boyfriend?

Fortunately, Father Shu didn’t forget, “What are you talking about? Mom doesn’t know, but do you not know? Xiao Chu is not Tong Tong’s real boyfriend. Didn’t she tell us already that Xiao Chu is Liusu’s colleague? He just works in a big company. He is not a rich person. It’s all fake…”

“Do you really believe that?” Mother Shu shook her luxurious top and asked Father Shu again, “This dress, the lunch we had yesterday, and the hotel we are staying in, you think it is all fake? And that Secretary Min, his BMW, and Rolls something are all fake too?”

“This…” Father Shu hesitated. I was speechless. Those were not fake, but they were not mine.

Mother Shu continued confidently, “You probably can’t tell, but I’m sure that Xiao Chu is interested in our daughter. Maybe they both have feelings for each other.”

‘How can you be sure.. I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry…

“But why do I feel that Xiao Chu has feelings for Liusu?…” Father Shu said with uncertainty.

“Nonsense, Liusu is too tall. When she stands next to Xiao Chu, they don’t look like a good match at all. Our daughter is much better.”

All my colleagues said that Liusu and I were a perfect match, so I seriously doubted Mother Shu’s judgment.

However, Father Shu seemed to be convinced, “You mean…”

“Our daughter lied to us as well,” Mother Shu’s eyes flashed a trace of strange joy, “Probably, she and Xiao Chu are already dating each other. Even if they are not dating each other, they should have a very close relationship, a kind of relationship that is better than normal friends, but not as close as boyfriend and girlfriend. You know how shy our daughter is, so probably she is just embarrassed to tell us that she is dating Xiao Chu….”

I really admired Mother Shu’s imagination.

“What you said makes some sense. Actually, I also thought of this possibility after meeting him yesterday. But…”

“Right?” Hearing that Father Shu was also thinking the same, Mother Shu was even more confident. She interrupted Father Shu and said, “Isn’t this what they are shown on TV? Rich people more or less lack some common sense. Xiao Chu is used to spending money lavishly, so he doesn’t know how to constrain. If they are really just normal friends, why would he spend so much money to please us?”

It was not me who lacked common sense. The one who lacked common sense was the Third Lady. She said she was helping me, but how was this helping me? She only made it even more complicated.

“Do you want Xiao Chu to pay for the surgery cost?” Father Shu shook his head and said, “No, we can’t do this…”

I was lost for words. Even if I wanted to help, I couldn’t help much…

“Why can’t we do this?” Mother Shu said, “For us, the money for the surgery is astronomical, but in the eyes of Xiao Chu, it’s probably nothing. As long as Tong Tong asks him, he definitely would not refuse to help…”

“I think you are just blinded by the money.” Father Shu was angry, “You just chose to ignore other things!”

“What do you mean?” Mother Shu was dazed.

Father Shu said angrily, “Yes, Xiao Chu may really be a rich man, and he would not mind helping us pay for the operation cost, but have you thought about it clearly? If he is really that rich, is his feeling for Tong Tong real? The people in the city are not like us from the countryside.

“Even a person like Li Gazi would have a mistress in the city, then how many women do you think a person like Xiao Chu has? I’m telling you, even the relationship between him and your niece is not necessarily a pure colleague relationship. Didn’t you see it yesterday? Whether it’s in a restaurant or a hotel, Liusu always sits next to him, and she would always stare at him in a daze from time to time.

“Also, on the way to the hotel in the car, Xiao Chu said that he was a little thirsty. Our daughter didn’t have any reaction. But your niece handed him the half bottle of water she had already drunk. And Xiao Chu took the bottle and drank it like it was nothing. Is this something that a regular colleague would do to each other?”

Mother Shu said in surprise, “You mean… he and Liusu…”

I instantly broke out in a cold sweat. Father Shu was a simple and honest man, but I didn’t expect that he would be much more observant than Mother Shu. Liusu and I had been very close to each other since college. Apart from taking showers and using toilets, we didn’t really care about other things. We could even sleep together on the same bed without any worries, let alone drink the water that she had drunk. But I didn’t expect that this would attract Father Shu’s attention.

Father Shu said with concern, “It may be true that Liusu and Xiao Chu are working in the same company, but unlike Liusu, Xiao Chu is definitely not an ordinary employee. They have different positions in their company, but they are still that close, so do you really think that there is nothing going on between them? I’m afraid our daughter also doesn’t believe it, so she doesn’t want to tell us that she is dating Xiao Chu. Sigh…”

Hearing what Father Shu said, Mother Shu became very nervous, “You mean… Why is our daughter so silly? She is already suspecting that Xiao Chu is having a relationship with Liusu, but why is she still… No wonder when I asked her about Xiao Chu’s situation, she didn’t want to tell me anything…”

“Xiao Chu is not a bad person. He is humble, polite, and also has a good look. When I saw that he was taking the initiative to coax our mother, I know that he is also a filial person. With such a good condition, but he doesn’t look down on us, it means that he also has great manners.

“So it is understandable why Tong Tong would like him.” Father Shu sighed, “But the thing is, we don’t know if his feelings for Tong Tong are genuine. Although he is a good person, if he is just playing, our daughter’s life would be… So we can’t use his money. We can’t let our daughter feel that she owes him. Otherwise, with Tong Tong’s stubborn character, unless Xiao Chu decides to leave her, she would never leave him first no matter how many women he has. We really can’t ruin our daughter’s happiness.”

“I…” Mother Shu said with sadness, “But besides Xiao Chu, who else can help us?”

Father Shu sighed and said, “Life and death are fated. Even if we accept Xiao Chu’s money, mom would not accept it. She would definitely get angry…”

Father Shu was really worthy of respect. This simple man truly cared for his family and loved them wholeheartedly.

Mother Shu cried, “Then what should we do? Are we just going to watch Mom go like this?”

“Of course not,” Father Shu gently patted Mother Shu on her shoulder to comfort her, and said with determination, “The doctor also said that our mother’s physical condition is no longer suitable for surgery. What we could do is to let her rest as much as possible and use medicine to extend her time. We still have savings at home. The money is not a problem. If it is not enough, I will go out to work after I finish the farm work. Didn’t Li Gazi also say that I can work in his construction team anytime… Let’s work hard to extend Mom’s life a little bit longer…”

…

Mother Shu leaned in Father Shu’s arms and asked softly, “Does… does mom know that she is sick?”
