Chapter 717

When it was almost nine o'clock in the morning, Lu Xiaoya arrived. Min Tong's driver picked her up. Coming with her was Chen Xiaomeng. After she and Min Tong got married, they could be considered to be living in different places now. Today, Min Tong let the driver pick her up by the way.

Lu Xiaoya was dressed very beautifully today. She wore a light green dress, which could be described as "people are as light as chrysanthemums." Her long hair was tied into a ponytail and hung behind her back. She also put on a little light makeup. Usually, she was always plain-faced, but today was the first time she met Su Xinghui's parents, and she felt that this would be more formal and more respectful.

She also carried some gifts in her hand, which were some nutritional supplements. Meeting Su Xinghui's parents for the first time, she didn't know what gifts to bring, so she could only buy some nutritional supplements, which everyone could use.

As soon as she saw the couple Su Wenjun and Guo Suhua, she blushed and handed over the gifts in her hand, saying, "Uncle, Aunt, hello, I am Lu Xiaoya, this is a little bit of my heart, please accept it."

The couple Su Wenjun took the gifts, placed them on the ground, and looked at Lu Xiaoya with full smiles. Guo Suhua held Lu Xiaoya's hand and said, "Miss Xiaoya, sit down quickly."

Lu Xiaoya sat down next to Guo Suhua. Guo Suhua looked at her carefully and nodded, saying, "Really beautiful, even more beautiful than in the photo. Are you a reporter?"

Lu Xiaoya nodded and said, "Yes, I work at the Hudong Daily agency."

Guo Suhua said, "As a reporter, do you have to run outside all day? Isn't that quite tiring?"

Lu Xiaoya said, "Aunt, I'm young, it's fine, not tiring. I quite like the profession of a reporter."

Guo Suhua smiled and nodded, saying, "As long as you like it. However, you are in Jiangcheng, and Xinghui is in Pengjiawan, this is too far away."

Min Tong smiled and said, "Aunt, this is fine. I work in Menghuling, and my Xiaomeng works in Jiangcheng, which is even further away, isn't it quite good?"

Chen Xiaomeng heard Min Tong's words and secretly pinched him. Min Tong didn't dare to make a sound and could only grin, which was so funny that it made everyone laugh.

Lu Xiaoya was a very sensible girl, without any airs of a high-ranking official's daughter. She loved Su Xinghui to the bone, and she naturally behaved sensibly and cutely in front of Su Xinghui's parents, which made the couple Su Wenjun very satisfied.

Guo Suhua took out a red envelope from her bag and stuffed it into Lu Xiaoya's hand. This was the rule in Shangjun County. When a son's object visits for the first time, a red envelope must be given as a meeting gift. The larger the red envelope, the more satisfied the parents are.

Guo Suhua only had this one son, so she naturally wouldn't be stingy. She packed 500 yuan in the red envelope, which was a very generous red envelope in Shangjun County, equivalent to two months' salary for an ordinary person.

Lu Xiaoya had also heard Su Xinghui talk about this rule. She didn't decline. She blushed and accepted it, saying "Thank you" to Guo Suhua.

Guo Suhua asked, "Xiaoya, I heard from Xinghui that your dad works at the provincial committee. What is his specific work? Where does your mom work?"

Lu Xiaoya said, "Aunt, my dad is the secretary-general of the provincial committee, and my mom is the manager of the Jiangnan District Crafts Store in Jiangcheng."

Secretary-general of the provincial committee? Guo Suhua had no concept of this position, but Su Wenjun understood. Hearing Lu Xiaoya's words, his expression changed. Isn't that a member of the provincial standing committee? Such a big cadre, can we be in-laws with them?

Su Xinghui saw the change in Su Wenjun's expression. He naturally understood what Su Wenjun was thinking. Su Wenjun had been unwilling to climb up to the powerful and wealthy all his life. Finding a daughter of a member of the provincial standing committee for his son, it was natural for him to have some thoughts.

Thinking of this, Su Xinghui saw Su Wenjun stand up and give him a wink, so Su Xinghui followed Su Wenjun out.

The two walked to the stairwell, quite far from Su Xinghui's dormitory. Su Wenjun asked in a low voice, "Xinghui, is Xiaoya's father really the secretary-general of the provincial committee?"

Su Xinghui nodded and said, "Yes, he is the secretary-general of the provincial committee."

"Member of the provincial standing committee?"

"Member of the provincial standing committee!"

Su Wenjun's brows suddenly frowned: "Xinghui, is it a bit inappropriate for us to be in-laws with such a big cadre? Others will think that we are trying to curry favor with a member of the provincial standing committee by finding such a daughter-in-law. Besides, if you find such a daughter-in-law, will you be bullied?"

Su Xinghui said, "Dad, don't worry. Xiaoya and I are truly in love. Besides, Xiaoya and I both graduated from the Chinese Department of Jiangcheng University. She is my junior, and we met at school. When we met, her dad wasn't the secretary-general of the provincial committee yet. At that time, he was sitting on the cold bench. I wasn't aiming for his power when I got together with Xiaoya."

Su Wenjun said, "But others don't know. Others will only think that our family is aiming for her family's power to be in-laws with her family."

Su Xinghui said, "Then do you mean to break us up? We are truly in love. If you break us up, what's the difference between you and those feudal parents who break up mandarin ducks? Xiaoya is a very good girl, you saw it today, and her dad is also a very good person. You'll know when you see him next time."

Su Wenjun's brows frowned tightly, and Su Xinghui also looked at him nervously.

Even if Su Wenjun insisted on not agreeing to his relationship with Lu Xiaoya, he wouldn't obey. He truly loved Lu Xiaoya, but he didn't hope for that. He still hoped that his relationship could get his parents' blessing.

After a long time, Su Wenjun asked, "Are you really in love with Lu Xiaoya, and not aiming for her father's power?"

Su Xinghui said, "Dad, don't you know my character? Am I that kind of person who values power? I truly love Lu Xiaoya, I love her as a person, not her family's power!"

Su Wenjun said, "But our two families are not well-matched in social status. Marriage should be well-matched in social status. If they are not well-matched, they will encounter many problems when living together in the future."

Su Wenjun's words seemed a bit feudal, but they contained a lot of life wisdom. That kind of love that doesn't value social status differences seems very moving, but many problems have occurred. Two people who are not well-matched in social status will have many contradictions due to too big differences in living habits after truly entering the life of firewood, rice, oil, and salt.

Living a life is very different from falling in love.

Su Xinghui smiled and said, "Lu Xiaoya's family education is very strict, she is not that kind of delicate girl, you also saw it. Besides, don't you have confidence in your son? Could it be that our family's future living conditions won't match hers?"

Seeing Su Xinghui's firm eyes, Su Wenjun finally nodded and said, "Alright, since you truly love her, then I have nothing to say. But I hope you can face this problem squarely, pay more attention in the process of getting along with her in the future, learn from others' lessons, and don't follow in others' footsteps."

Su Xinghui nodded and said, "Dad, I know, I will definitely remember your teachings."

Su Wenjun rarely spoke on such matters, but since he spoke, it meant he attached great importance to this problem. Su Xinghui naturally wouldn't ignore it. Being able to convince his father today, he was still very happy.

Su Wenjun also smiled: "Actually, Xiaoya is indeed very good, beautiful, and has a good personality. It seems she is not that kind of spoiled high-ranking official's daughter. Your eye for people is not bad."

Su Xinghui said, "You say Xiaoya is so good, is your son very bad?"

Su Wenjun said, "How could my son be bad? You are really well-matched. This can only blame your dad for being useless and not being able to be well-matched with others."

Su Xinghui said, "Dad, how can this blame you? With your medical skills, you shouldn't have been in your current position, it's just that your character is too upright, so you didn't get reused."

Su Wenjun smiled and said, "Alright, don't comfort me. I have this character, and this life is just like this. I hope you will be better than me in the future."
