Chapter 278 Learning that Xiao Liu's boyfriend is the richest man
Standing before the counter of the handicraft shop, surrounded by colorful yarns and exquisite handicrafts, Xiao Liu's heart pounded and her cheeks flushed. Staring intently at Lao Cui, who was looking at her with such affection, her mind raced through memories of their time together over the past few days. Lao Cui's slightly trembling hands and sincere, ardent eyes instantly dispelled the last vestige of hesitation in her heart. She took a deep breath, smiled, and nodded gently, her voice tinged with shyness and joy: "Lao Cui, I'm willing to give it a try."
Old Cui was stunned for a moment, then his eyes reddened and his face lit up with a smile. He gently hugged Xiao Liu and said, "Xiao Liu, don't worry, I will protect you and Xiao Xuan from now on." This sudden sweetness made Xiao Liu a little dizzy. Immersed in happiness, she wanted to share this good news with her dearest god-sister, Li Yuan.
The call connected, and Li Yuan's familiar and cheerful voice came through: "Oh, my darling little sister, what brings you here to call me today?"
Xiao Liu bit her lip, unable to suppress her smile: "Sis, I have great news! I'm in love!"
A high-pitched scream erupted from the other end of the phone: "What? Really? Tell me quickly, who is it?"
Xiao Liu then recounted in detail the process of reuniting with Lao Cui, getting to know each other, and falling in love. Li Yuan listened with great interest, occasionally letting out exclamations and laughter.
After Xiao Liu finished speaking, Li Yuan excitedly exclaimed, "That's wonderful, little sister! This is your second spring! I sincerely wish you all the best. Your ex-husband had no taste last time, but now we've found true happiness. From now on, if Lao Cui dares to bully you, just tell me, and I'll be the first to teach him a lesson!"
Xiao Liu chuckled, amused: "Sister, look at what you're saying, Old Cui is really great."
Li Yuan started nagging again: "Okay, find some time to bring him out for me to take a look at, and I'll give you my opinion." The two chatted for a while longer before reluctantly hanging up the phone.
Over the weekend, Xiao Liu dressed up carefully and dragged Lao Cui to the restaurant where they had arranged to meet Li Yuan and Liu Xuan. Along the way, Lao Cui's palms were sweating profusely with nervousness, and Xiao Liu couldn't help but tease him, "What's wrong? A grown man like you're afraid to meet my sister?"
Old Cui scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "I was just afraid of leaving a bad impression on your sister."
Xiao Liu smiled and squeezed his hand: "Don't worry, my sister is a very nice person."
As soon as they entered the private room, Li Yuan and Liu Xuan were already waiting. Li Yuan, with her sharp eyes, spotted Xiao Liu and Lao Cui at a glance, immediately stood up, and warmly greeted them, "Come in quickly, we've been waiting for you!"
Xiao Liu pulled Lao Cui forward and introduced him with a smile: "Sister, brother-in-law, this is Lao Cui; Lao Cui, this is my god-sister Li Yuan, and brother-in-law Liu Xuan."
Old Cui quickly greeted her, and Li Yuan looked him up and down, a satisfied smile on her face: "Not bad, not bad, a handsome young man, quite a good match for our Xiao Liu."
Everyone sat down, and the waiter began serving the dishes. While pouring tea for everyone, Li Yuan chatted with Lao Cui: "I heard from Xiao Liu that you own your own company? What kind of business do you run?"
Old Cui politely replied, "Software developers have been doing quite well these past few years."
Li Yuan nodded: "The tech industry is booming right now, you seem to have a good eye for business."
Liu Xuan chimed in with a smile, "Yes, starting a business is not easy, and doing it well is even more difficult."
As the group was chatting animatedly, Li Yuan glanced at Lao Cui, feeling that he looked familiar, but she couldn't quite place where she had seen him before. She frowned and stared at Lao Cui for a while, making him a little uncomfortable. Xiao Liu chuckled and nudged Li Yuan, saying, "Sister, why are you staring at Lao Cui like that? You're making him shy."
Li Yuan smiled sheepishly: "I felt that Lao Cui looked very familiar, like I had seen him on TV or in the news, but I just couldn't remember where I was."
At this moment, the waiter brought out a plate of signature dishes, and Liu Xuan called out to everyone, "Don't think about it for now, let's eat and try this dish." Everyone then started eating and chatting.
Li Yuan kept glancing at Lao Cui every now and then. Suddenly, as if she had been struck by lightning, the chopsticks in her hand stopped in mid-air, and her eyes widened: "I remember now! Aren't you that...that super-rich Lao Cui? He was in the news before, and they said he was the youngest and most promising entrepreneur in our area, and he was even on the rich list!"
As soon as he said that, the private room fell silent. Xiao Liu looked at Lao Cui with surprise. Lao Cui smiled helplessly and scratched his head: "Sister, you have a good eye. I really am. I didn't say it before because I was afraid you would feel pressured and think I was showing off or something."
Li Yuan's mouth gaped open, unable to close it for a long time: "My God, Xiao Liu, the partner you found is amazing! I thought he was just an ordinary young entrepreneur."
Xiao Liu was also somewhat amused and exasperated: "I only found out recently myself. Old Cui is such a low-key person."
Liu Xuan joked with a smile, "That's great, our little Liu will be a rich lady from now on."
Xiao Liu rolled her eyes at him: "Brother-in-law, stop teasing me. I don't care about these things. I like Lao Cui because he's a good person."
Old Cui looked at Xiao Liu with deep affection and held her hand: "Xiao Liu, thank you for not disliking me."
Li Yuan, moved to tears, exclaimed, "That's wonderful, little sister! You've finally overcome all your hardships. From now on, if Old Cui ever treats you badly, I'll settle the score with him, even if he's the richest man in the world!"
Everyone burst into laughter, and the private room was filled with joyful chatter.
The meal was exceptionally lively. Li Yuan kept asking Lao Cui all sorts of questions, showing great curiosity about his entrepreneurial journey. Lao Cui didn't hold back, recounting all the ups and downs he had experienced over the years. Xiao Liu listened quietly, watching Lao Cui's animated narration, his heart filled with pride and happiness.
After dinner, Li Yuan pulled Xiao Liu aside and whispered, "Little sister, Lao Cui is a really good person. He's capable and humble. You must cherish him and not miss this opportunity again."
Xiao Liu leaned on Li Yuan's shoulder: "Sister, I know, I will. Thank you for always caring about me so much."
Li Yuan patted her on the back: "Silly girl, why are you being so polite with me? By the way, if you ever need any help in the future, don't hesitate to ask me for help."
On the way home, Xiao Liu leaned on Lao Cui's shoulder, looking happy: "My sister was really surprised today. She didn't expect you to be so amazing."
Old Cui gently flicked her nose: "In my heart, you are the most important. None of these material things can compare to you and Xiao Xuan."
Xiao Liu felt a sweet warmth in his heart as he looked at the night view outside the car window, feeling that his future life was full of hope.
Back home, Xiao Liu lay in bed, reflecting on everything that had happened that day, a smile unconsciously creeping onto her face. She knew that a new chapter had begun in her life; with Lao Cui's companionship and Li Yuan's blessings, the future would surely be brighter. Lao Cui, too, secretly vowed to give Xiao Liu and Xiao Xuan a warm and happy home, making them the happiest mother and daughter in the world.
Since then, Xiao Liu's handicraft shop has remained open, and Lao Cui would help out whenever he had time. The two of them lived a fulfilling life together. Li Yuan and Liu Xuan also frequently visited, and the relationship between the two families grew increasingly close. Who could have imagined that an ordinary reunion would lead Xiao Liu to such sweet love and unleash so many interesting and heartwarming stories? Life, sometimes, is full of surprises, like a box of chocolates where you never know what flavor you're going to get next; you can never guess what will happen next.
