Chapter 9 My Mom Was a Factory Manager in the 1970s
At Crescent Park, most of the students from Class 1 of Senior 3 had arrived early in the morning, and they stood in twos and threes chatting.
"Hey, have you heard? The big news lately is that the Hong Kong businessman surnamed Si who made the newspapers is Lin Youyou's biological mother."
"Yes, yes, I've heard about it too. Do you think it's true? If she could help us out because we're old classmates, wouldn't we all be rich too?"
Just as the group was getting into their discussion, a tall girl with neat, short hair sneered.
"How could she be Lin Youyou's biological mother? As far as I know, her mother didn't even finish junior high school, so she probably can't even go to Hong Kong."
"Qianqian, this is something everyone's been talking about with great detail, so it's highly likely, otherwise how could it be spread so convincingly?"
Liu Qianqian scoffed dismissively.
"You all know that it's common knowledge that Lin Youyou loves to daydream, otherwise how could she have dared to like Lu Huai in the first place?"
"That's true, it's not impossible."
Liu Qianqian's family is from the city. They are wealthy, academically excellent, and good-looking. There are also many people in the class who fawn over her.
Wang Yingying was unconvinced. How could Liu Qianqian be so great, and no one could compare to her? Fine, I won't argue. When Lin Youyou arrives, everyone will know what it means to be proven wrong.
Liu Qianqian was still enjoying everyone's compliments when she was interrupted by Wang Yingying's exclamation.
"Look, it's Lin Youyou!"
"Where? I didn't see anything except a Mercedes."
"Yeah, where is it? Maybe you've blown your own horn too far and are too ashamed to show your face."
Before Liu Qianqian could finish speaking, the Mercedes stopped in front of everyone. A man in a suit and tie got out of the driver's seat, walked straight to the back seat, bent down and gently opened the door.
"Miss, we have arrived at our destination. Please get out of the car."
"Okay, Uncle Li, thank you for your hard work."
Seeing that Miss Lin had gotten out of the car safely, Uncle Li got into his car and left. Since Si Yan had other arrangements, the delivery of the gift was handled by the housekeeper, who also arranged for a different car.
"Who is this? Such a big shot. A few years ago, he would have been sent to the countryside. It's only now that the ban has been lifted. This is truly the first time I've seen this."
Wang Yingying snorted coldly, calling them all bumpkins, and turned to greet them.
"Youyou, you're here! We've all been waiting for you."
"It really is Lin Youyou. That car is a Mercedes, worth hundreds of thousands. I didn't see this kind of car when I went to visit relatives in the capital last month."
"It seems that Lin Youyou might actually have a wealthy mother."
"Oh, why aren't we so lucky? Why isn't my wealthy mother, whom I've never met, here to pick me up?"
"Get out of here, you monkey, or I'll tell your mom, and you'll get a beating."
"Junzi, just kidding, just kidding, but I'm really envious. My salary is only thirty, even if I work for eight lifetimes, I still can't afford this car."
Hi everyone, it's been more than half a year since we last met. What have you all been up to?
"Hey, what else could I be busy with? Work, of course. There are only two people in our class who are going to college: Liu Qianqian, who is ahead of me, and Lu Huai."
"However, Lu Huai doesn't seem to have arrived yet. I wonder if something happened on the way that delayed him."
"But then again, Youyou, they say your biological mother is back, and supposedly she's a Hong Kong tycoon. Is that true?"
"Tch, Wang Jun, can you stop being so obsequious? Someone might have gone to great lengths to rent a car just to make an appearance, and you actually believe that?"
As expected, Liu Qianqian was as annoying as ever. Lin Youyou rolled her eyes at Liu Qianqian.
You're being stubborn. Is it shameful to lose to me?
"Liu Qianqian, you said my car is rented. Aren't you rich? Why don't you rent one for me to see?"
"Lin Youyou, don't be so smug. I'm the first college graduate in my family, and my uncle is an official in Beijing. What's so special about riding in a car?"
Seeing Liu Qianqian's angry and embarrassed expression, Lin Youyou ignored her. Her mother had said that when someone is targeting you, the best way to get back at them is to ignore them.
Liu Qianqian waited for a long time but received no response from Lin Youyou. Seeing that Lin Youyou was ignoring her, Liu Qianqian strode forward angrily, wanting to argue with her.
Unexpectedly, a black SUV pulled up beside them, and a very refined gentleman got out of the car.
The moment Lin Youyou saw this person, she ran over to him.
"Uncle Butler, what brings you here? Did Mom send you?"
"Of course, Miss, I'm here to deliver your gift. But it seems someone had a disagreement with you just now?"
"Yes, there are some, but they're all trivial matters, not as important as the gifts I give to my classmates."
"Quickly, let me see what gifts Mom prepared!"
The butler took out a folding table, laid it flat, and then took out the watch gift box that had been prepared in advance.
The students were excited to see that they could receive gifts.
Moreover, these gift bags look high-end. Lin Youyou's mother is really generous. I really envy Lin Youyou.
Lin Youyou distributed the gifts from left to right, but when it was Liu Qianqian's turn, Lin Youyou smoothly ignored her.
"Qianqian, your family is so wealthy, I don't think you need this gift from me, so I won't embarrass myself in front of you."
Upon hearing this, Liu Qianqian blushed and pursed her lips without saying a word.
At this moment, Wang Jun exclaimed in surprise.
"My God, it's a watch, and a Shanghai brand watch at that! This is incredibly valuable."
