The approval from Fu Yu made Lin Minghao feel increasingly close to this cousin of his from his aunt’s family.

He felt like he’d finally met a mentor who could see his potential without looking down on him or thinking he was being unrealistic.

By the end of the meal, Fu Yu was regarded as a confidant by Lin Minghao.

The table looked like it was full, but it was mostly seafood with little substance once the shells were discarded, and the two of them, in their early twenties, were at their most ravenous age.

The brothers put their heads together and cleaned the entire table without wasting a bit. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

When it came time to pay, Fu Yu didn’t let Lin Minghao follow him.

The dishes that Zhao Meng had sent weren’t on the bill after all, and the restaurant gave him an employee discount, totaling four hundred and seventy.

Holding the bill, Fu Yu felt quite wealthy!

Spending over four hundred on a meal without feeling much pain.

Fu Yu had no idea that his generous gesture and carefree manner of footing the bill had already left a lasting impression on Lin Minghao’s memory.

From his heart, Lin Minghao truly felt that his cousin was an open and worthy person to associate with.

After finishing the meal, the two brothers walked out through the main entrance.

Fu Yu had taken the day off and was bringing Lin Minghao along, so it wasn’t convenient to leave through the back door.

Actually, Fu Yu intended to take Lin Minghao to the supermarket down the side street. While packing his luggage earlier, Fu Yu realized that he had overlooked the fact that since Zhao Meng’s place hadn’t been lived in before, it lacked even basic living necessities.

Including bed linens and toiletries.

Fu Yu decided to go all out in assisting Lin Minghao with his stay in Bei’an for the next few days, covering all his accommodation and travel needs.

When Lin Minghao mentioned this to his family, both his aunt and mother would be quite pleased.

They turned left as they exited the building, and when they passed the parking lot, a white BMW suddenly pulled up in front of them.

Fu Yu quickly pulled Lin Minghao aside, and both stepped to the side.

Unexpectedly, the BMW stopped right in front of them.

Fu Yu looked over in surprise as the car’s driver’s side window rolled down.

"Xiaofu! Where are you off to?"

Fu Yu leaned over to take a look inside the car.

He couldn’t help but be taken aback.

Sitting inside was a young woman wearing sunglasses, with long wavy hair cascading down, making her face appear small and her exposed skin exceptionally fair, lips curled in a smile.

Despite the sunglasses, it was apparent she was a stunning beauty.

And when she removed the sunglasses, casually tucking the loose curls behind her ears, Fu Yu recognized the woman driving as Liu Yici.

Liu Yici took off her sunglasses and looked at him with a cheerful smile, showing the joy of encountering an old acquaintance.

She really hadn’t expected to meet Fu Yu here.

She originally came to this area to meet a friend, and after shopping, they were each heading home.

Liu Yici retrieved her car and, while turning it around, inadvertently noticed two handsome guys walking toward her.

At first, they were far away, but she noticed these two had good builds and stylish attire, so she couldn’t help but take another look.

As they got closer, she suddenly recognized the shorter one in front as Fu Yu!

Liu Yici quickly pulled the car over and greeted them.

Once Fu Yu realized it was Liu Yici, he promptly smiled and called out, "Sister Liu! I was about to take my brother to the supermarket, didn’t expect to bump into you here."

Liu Yici looked over at Lin Minghao.

Upon first glance, these two brothers seemed quite different, but upon closer inspection, their features shared some resemblance.

Compared to the handsome Fu Yu, Lin Minghao was more refined and good-looking, and he was taller with a slimmer physique.

Lin Minghao followed suit in greeting, "Hello, Sister Liu!"

Fu Yu introduced, "This is my brother, Lin Minghao."

Liu Yici gave Lin Minghao a slight smile and asked Fu Yu, "Is he a cousin’s brother?"

Fu Yu nodded, "Yeah, from my aunt’s side."

Liu Yici appraised Lin Minghao, complimenting, "Your family sure does produce good-looking people! This young man is quite handsome. Are you still in school?"

Fu Yu laughed, "Yeah, he’s in college."

Liu Yici casually asked, "In Bei’an? What are you majoring in?"

Lin Minghao replied, "No, I’m from out of town, just here to attend Qiming E-commerce Training School’s crash course to prepare for exams."

Liu Yici was immediately surprised, "You’re going to study at Qiming?"

Lin Minghao nodded, "Yes."

Liu Yici suddenly laughed, "What a coincidence, do you know Liu Yiming?"

Lin Minghao quickly said, "Of course! Teacher Liu Yiming is my idol!"

Liu Yici laughed even more heartily. She looked at Fu Yu and said, "You didn’t know, did you? I actually have a younger brother too; he’s my biological brother and his name is Liu Yiming."

Upon hearing this, Fu Yu was stunned.

He had always known Liu Yici was wealthy but had never specifically looked into what her family did.

After all, it had nothing to do with his work.

But to find out she was actually Liu Yiming’s sister was quite a surprise!

What a coincidence!

Liu Yici glanced at the time and said, "Where are you guys headed? Let me give you a lift."

Fu Yu quickly replied, "No need, we’re just going over to the side street nearby, just a few steps away."

Liu Yici was in a bit of a hurry, so she didn’t insist, "Okay, then I’ll be off. Let’s catch up another time."

With that, she remembered something and turned to Lin Minghao, saying, "Xiaolin, since you’re Xiaofu’s brother, you’re my brother too. I’ll help you by giving Teacher Liu a heads-up so he can keep an eye out for you at school."

Fu Yu smiled, thinking this was a good thing!

With that connection, maybe Lin Minghao could really have some opportunities at school.

Fu Yu laughed and said, "That would be great! Sister Liu, I was just worried he’d get bullied at the school since he’s unfamiliar with the place. If Teacher Liu can look after him, I’ll be relieved."

Liu Yici nodded, "Don’t worry, I’ll let him know when I get back."

Watching Liu Yici drive away, Fu Yu took Lin Minghao to the side street.

Along the way, Lin Minghao curiously asked, "Brother, how do you know Sister Liu?"

Fu Yu briefly recounted how he met Liu Yici.

"She’s a nice person, very kind-hearted. She even helped me get a couple of door-to-door service jobs."

After hearing this, Lin Minghao nodded, "Sister Liu is truly beautiful and kind. She looks so young; if you hadn’t told me, I would’ve thought she was at most twenty-seven or twenty-eight!"

Fu Yu casually replied, "Well-preserved, but she is indeed quite young."

He said it without much thought.

A while later, Fu Yu suddenly felt something was off!

He turned to look at Lin Minghao.

Liu Yici had just complimented Lin Minghao on his looks.

And Lin Minghao had thought Liu Yici was young and pretty.

The most crucial point was that Liu Yici was also wealthy!

Thinking of this, Fu Yu’s heart skipped a beat.

Could it be?

It shouldn’t be...
