The taxi drove all the way to the gate of the provincial party committee compound and slowly stopped by the roadside.

"No outside cars are allowed in here, so this is the only way."

"The fare is 2.40 yuan. Here's the ticket."

The driver skillfully tore off two invoices from a special invoice book and handed them to Su Yunjie in the passenger seat.

"Don't give it to me, give it to him, he has money." Su Yunjie pointed at Lu Ye in the back seat and said to the driver.

"I saw you sitting in the passenger seat, and I thought you were paying the bill."

The driver muttered something and turned to hand the ticket to Lu Ye.

It seems that the unspoken rule that whoever sits in the passenger seat pays has existed for a long time.

After Lu Ye paid the money, everyone got off the car.

On both sides of the gate, which is more than ten meters wide, there is a guard standing guard, solemn and dignified.

"Please show me your pass."

"Yes." Su Yunjie handed over the pass.

Li Mingzhu looked at everything around her and felt it was particularly unreal.

Su Mengyao's family actually lives in such a place?

After checking it, the guard returned the pass to Su Yunjie: "You can go in."

"Let's go."

Su Yunjie once again acted as a human packhorse, carrying two large leather suitcases and leading a few people into the courtyard.

In his previous life, Lu Ye had seen the governor and vice governor many times, but this was his first time in the provincial party committee compound.

It is full of greenery and well-landscaped. The wide cement road branches off into many different paths, leading to different villas.

"This way." Su Yunjie called.

Knowing in advance that her children would be back today, Zhou Hui started making preparations early.

The kitchen uses a casserole to slow-cook the chicken. The aroma fills the house with the steam, and just the smell makes people's mouths water.

There are a lot of fruits and vegetables prepared on the cupboard, just waiting to be fried.

Bang~

Su Yunjie pushed the gate of the yard open with his body.

"Mom! We're back!"

Zhou Hui, who was in the kitchen, heard her son's cry, hurriedly put down the spatula in her hand, and walked quickly to the door.

The door opens.

Zhou Hui saw Su Yunjie walking in step by step.

As soon as he entered the door, Su Yunjie put the box on the ground.

"Oh my god, I'm so tired."

Ignoring Su Yunjie, Zhou Hui looked through the gate and soon saw a strange young man with a bag hanging on his body and something in his hands.

The young man was wearing a white shirt and looked neat and tidy, not like an ordinary farmer.

Su Mengyao stepped forward and introduced, "Mom, this is Lu Ye."

"Hello Auntie."

Lu Ye took a few steps forward and handed the things he had just bought to him: "This is my first visit, and I don't know what you and your uncle like. This is just a small token of my appreciation."

Lu Ye was neither humble nor arrogant, and his tone was calm, without showing any cowardice or discomfort.

This made Zhou Hui feel good about Lu Ye.

Ever since Su Yao became a high-ranking official, some people who had previously severed ties with their family have come to visit them.

Everyone wants to ask them to do things for them.

Faced with those flattering faces, Zhou Hui felt a little uncomfortable.

In comparison, Lu Ye's elegance and grace really caught Zhou Hui's eye.

In addition, Lu Ye did do their Su family a favor, so Zhou Hui was also very enthusiastic towards him.

"We are very happy that you can come. Come in." Zhou Hui smiled.

Zhou Hui basically learned about Lu Ye's situation from Su Mengyao's description.

All we know is that Lu Ye is a farmer. He dropped out of elementary school after a few years and went to work on the farm. His biological mother died early, and he had a very bad relationship with his stepmother.

As for the rest, Su Mengyao didn't say anything and Zhou Hui didn't know either.

Li Mingzhu followed behind, looking at the big house and looking around curiously.

This was the first time she had seen such a beautiful house in her life. It was exactly the same as the villas in Shanghai on TV.

"Mom, this is Li Mingzhu, our friend. She came to the provincial capital with us this time." Su Mengyao introduced her to Zhou Hui.

Li Mingzhu was wearing a yellow blouse, a pair of exquisite calfskin shoes, shoulder-length hair, and bright and lively eyes.

"Hello Auntie."

Li Mingzhu has a sweet voice.

Zhou Hui couldn't help but take a few more glances.

"This girl is so beautiful. Come inside quickly. It's hot outside."

Go into the house.

The luxurious furniture and spacious space all demonstrate the owner's nobility.

Li Mingzhu had never seen such a beautiful house before, and she felt a little uncomfortable for a moment.

As if noticing Li Mingzhu's reservedness, Su Mengyao pulled Li Mingzhu into the living room and said, "Just treat this as your own home. Don't be polite."

"Sister-in-law, your house is so big and beautiful." Li Mingzhu exclaimed.

"This is the house allocated by my father's work unit. When he retires or is transferred, the house must be returned to the owner."

······

Lu Ye also walked into the living room.

Looking at the furnishings in the house, it has quite a scholarly feel.

Apart from some inherent luxurious furniture, Lu Ye didn't see anything too valuable in the house.

Thinking that Su Yao would be dismissed for corruption in the future, Lu Ye couldn't help but sigh.

Su Yao is a man who has suffered a lot. He finally regained power, but he didn't know how to cherish it. It's really a pity.

"Xiao Lu, you guys sit down first and have some fruit."

"Yaoyao's father won't be back until around 5pm. I'll go to the kitchen and cook a few dishes to welcome you guys tonight."

Zhou Hui, wearing an apron, took out the pre-washed fruits from the kitchen, placed them on the coffee table, and said to Lu Ye and Li Mingzhu with a smile.

"Thank you auntie."

Lu Ye had a good first impression of Zhou Hui. She didn't have the arrogance of a leader's wife. Her words and actions were very respectful to them. She had the depth of an elder but also showed enthusiasm.

Li Mingzhu quickly stood up and said, "Auntie, I can cook too. Let me help you."

"No need. You've all been on the bus all day, you must be tired. Take a good rest."

"I've prepared everything in the kitchen, you can just do it yourself, Auntie." Zhou Hui said with a smile.

"Auntie, I'm not tired. I'll go help you."

Li Mingzhu felt that she could not eat for free at other people's expense, so she kept rushing to help.

While speaking, Li Mingzhu had already arrived in front of Zhou Hui.

"It's okay, I like cooking."

"That...okay then."

"This girl is so beautiful and sensible." Seeing this, Zhou Hui no longer refused.

Li Mingzhu followed Zhou Hui to the kitchen.

Su Yunjie laboriously carried the suitcase upstairs, and standing on the second floor, he shouted to Lu Ye, "Brother-in-law, you'll be staying in the same room with me tonight. Bring your things in first."

During the time they lived under the same roof, Su Yunjie and Lu Ye had become familiar with each other.

"okay."

Lu Ye responded, picked up his "big sauce block" and backpack, and walked upstairs.

After putting down his things, Lu Ye washed his face in Su Yunjie's room.

It was just before five o'clock.

A car slowly stopped outside the villa.

Su Yao knew that his son and daughter would be back today, so he returned home early.

As soon as he entered the room, Su Yao saw Su Mengyao and couldn't suppress his smile: "Haha... our college student is back."
