Before leaving, Xu Niannian saw Yang Cuihua pulling Jin Yu aside for a private talk.
She wouldn't let her hear.
After getting into the car, Xu Niannian asked Jin Yu, "Hey, what did my mom say to you?"
Jin Yu, hand on the steering wheel and with a meaningful glance, replied, "Your mother told me to take good care of you."
"That's it? Nothing else?" Xu Niannian asked, eyes wide. She was worried Yang Cuihua might have said something else to Jin Yu, like nurturing a romantic relationship.
But then again, it made sense. As shrewd as Yang Cuihua was, she certainly wouldn't discuss such things with Jin Yu.
It was one thing to say that to her daughter, but quite another to tell Jin Yu—it might make people think her daughter couldn't get married off.
"What else were you hoping for?"
Jin Yu thought about the words Yang Cuihua had cautioned him with, a smile in his eyes, but since he was looking ahead, Xu Niannian didn't see it; she only saw his tight-jawed, handsome face.
