There's 500,000 yuan in the account.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jinqiu's eyes brightened with delight, but then she looked pensive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alas, how did our son manage to do that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Jianye chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How did he do it? Of course, he did it through his abilities.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your son has really made it big.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jinqiu rolled her eyes: \"My son has always been very accomplished.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Jianye laughed heartily, in a very good mood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The more accomplished, the better.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shh, keep your voice down. Our son hasn't woken up yet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He's still sleeping? It's so late already!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sigh, it seems our son has lost weight this time he's back. He must have been very tired out there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Jianye nodded, \"Okay, here's what we'll do. You go out and buy some vegetables and spare ribs, and also kill an old chicken to make a nourishing soup for him...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan didn't get out of bed until ten o'clock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He skipped breakfast and went straight to lunch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the meal, Li Jinqiu asked, \"How long will you be staying this time?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan replied while eating, \"I'll be here for three days. I have to leave on Thursday. Summer vacation is almost over, and school is about to start again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Only three days?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing his mother's disappointment, Chen Fan smiled and explained, \"Mom, as I told you, I've been preparing to start a business recently, so I have a lot of things to take care of.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Jianye then spoke up, \"You're an adult now. We won't interfere with your affairs. But remember to take care of yourself out there and give us a call from time to time so your mother won't worry too much.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Got it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jinqiu glanced at her son's phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I see you're always fiddling with this phone. Who are you chatting with?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Jianye glared at his wife.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I just said our son is an adult now. Why are you prying so much?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jinqiu glared back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's wrong with a mother asking? I can't even ask a question?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Besides, our son is all grown up now. What if he's in a relationship? Can't I ask about that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She then looked at Chen Fan, \"Xiao Fan, have you been in a relationship at school?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan hesitated for a moment, then nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have been in one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huh?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Chen Jianye put down his chopsticks, curious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really? How old is the girl? Is she from the same school as you? What do her parents do for a living?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jinqiu fired off a string of questions one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan had to explain, \"Her name is Su Ruochu. She's a local from our city, Locheng.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The couple was clearly taken aback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A local?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then you two...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jinqiu frowned, \"That name sounds so familiar. Where have I heard it before?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan smiled, \"Mom, you must have heard it before. She was my high school deskmate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah, that's why it sounds so familiar!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We both got admitted to the same university now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I see.\" Li Jinqiu asked curiously, \"What do her parents do for a living? Do they know about your relationship?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Her parents are in business.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Li Jinqiu immediately became tense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In business? Then they must be wealthy people. Would a family like that look favorably on our kind of family?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Chen Jianye became displeased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's wrong with our family? People may have looked down on us in the past.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But now, you ask around everywhere, whose son can earn 5 million yuan in less than a year...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That's right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His own son is quite wealthy now too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jinqiu immediately felt reassured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She felt that even if her son and the girl's family weren't an ideal match, at least it wouldn't be embarrassing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Son, do you have a photo of the girl?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I didn't bring one with me. I'll show you next time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You silly boy, you didn't even remember to bring a photo when you came back...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Jianye then instructed his son, \"Your mom and I don't object to you being in a relationship, but remember, you're the boy. You need to be responsible and not bully the girl, understand?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan nodded with an awkward smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dad, I understand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After lunch, Chen Fan left home and took the bus to the county town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He waited for a while at the bus stop and finally saw a familiar graceful figure get off the bus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan smiled and went to greet her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without a word, he pulled Su Ruochu into his embrace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did you miss me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mm-hmm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did you miss me or not?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I missed you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For young lovers in the passionate stage of their relationship, being apart for over a month was indeed difficult to endure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Su Ruochu, a girl usually so reserved about matters of love, couldn't control her longing gaze at Chen Fan, her eyes sparkling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hugging for two minutes, the two parted, and Chen Fan took Su Ruochu's small hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have you eaten?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I've eaten.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then where shall we go wander around?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ruochu smiled at Chen Fan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wherever you want.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, she didn't care much about where they went. What mattered more to her was having Chen Fan by her side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan cleared his throat, \"I heard there's a new four-star hotel that just opened in the county town...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ruochu pinched Chen Fan right away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you always thinking about!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, I'm thinking about you.\" Chen Fan looked aggrieved. \"Wife, you have no idea how I suffered through this past month.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Especially after just getting a taste of the sweetness of love, you suddenly went back home. You know how painful that was for me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ruochu's pretty face turned red. \"If you say another word...I'm going home.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, okay, I won't say anymore.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan took Su Ruochu's small hand and said magnanimously,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's go. I'll take you shopping. It's my treat today, buy whatever you want.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ruochu smiled faintly, allowing him to hold her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The county town wasn't big, and there weren't many places to go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two of them strolled through the mall, then had a cold drink at a beverage shop, and finally, Su Ruochu took Chen Fan's arm as they went to the old commercial street.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where they went didn't matter. What mattered more was the feeling of being together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why don't we go see a movie?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they exited the commercial street, Chen Fan suggested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If we watch a movie, it'll be dark by the time it's over. I need to go home.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan smiled, \"No problem. I'll take you back. Oh, your mom doesn't know you're out, does she?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ruochu shook her head, \"My mom isn't home today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's good then...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he was speaking, Chen Fan suddenly noticed Su Ruochu's expression freeze, looking astonished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan turned and followed her gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw that a car had just stopped by the roadside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A woman was staring at them expressionlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mom...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ruochu looked flustered. After a moment, she hurriedly pulled her hand back from Chen Fan's arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You...
