Qing Muyie noticed Han Yu's solemn expression and didn't want to probe further. He said, "Let's go, let's go inside and play a few rounds."
"Let's go, let's go," Tang Si was the first to walk in.
Han Yu, Lu Yanming, and Qing Muyie also entered the living room.
In an instant, the spacious villa became lively.
In the afternoon, Song Jun and Song Ci were grilling, with Pei Ying assisting.
The others sat together playing poker, having a great time until it got dark and they dispersed.
Qing Muyie returned to Yujing Villa with Meng Jingwei. Tang Si and Shi Ran went to her single apartment. Han Yu, taking Cheng Xiaorui with him, drove all the way back to the Han family home.
Cheng Xiaorui, sitting in the passenger seat, kept making gestures, "Where are you taking me?"
"What are you so nervous about? I'm not going to eat you," Han Yu said, glancing at Cheng Xiaorui beside him as he drove.
"No, I'm not nervous," Cheng Xiaorui replied guiltily.
The car drove slowly and finally stopped outside a luxurious villa.
Looking at the grand and luxurious villa, Cheng Xiaorui was as amazed as Liu Laolao entering the Grand View Garden.
But she also became nervous.
"Is this your home?"
She gestured, asking Han Yu.
"Yes."
He answered truthfully.
"Why did you bring me to your home?" Cheng Xiaorui couldn't understand what Han Yu meant.
Then she heard Han Yu explain, "You are one of the students I'm sponsoring. It's normal to bring you to my home. Besides, I, Han Yu, don't just sponsor one student."
Despite sponsoring so many students, only Cheng Xiaorui made him care.
The car stopped in the villa's garage. Han Yu got out, and Cheng Xiaorui followed.
Upon entering the living room, they saw three people sitting on the sofa.
The three were Han's mother, Han's father, and Han Yu's elder brother.
"Xiao Yu, you're back..." Han's mother was delighted to see Han Yu walk in, but before she could finish speaking, she saw the girl walking beside him. "Who is she?"
"Are you dating a girlfriend outside?" Han's father, reading a financial magazine, glanced casually at the girl without looking further.
From such a distance, although the couple couldn't clearly see Cheng Xiaorui's appearance, they weren't interested.
Only Han Yu's elder brother, Han Jin, looked up and took a closer look at the girl, his pupils widening slightly.
"Dad, Mom, her name is Cheng Xiaorui. She's a university student I'm sponsoring. She had dinner with classmates today, and it was too late for her to go anywhere else, so I brought her to our home to stay for the night."
Han Yu introduced Cheng Xiaorui to his parents, but he also included a few lies.
Although Cheng Xiaorui knew she was indeed one of the many university students he sponsored, she still felt a bit disappointed hearing him say it like that.
"Hello, Uncle, Auntie, Brother." Cheng Xiaorui greeted them with gestures.
The Han couple, who happened to look up, had the same surprised expression when they saw Cheng Xiaorui's face. They exchanged a glance, both concealing something tacitly.
"She... she's mute?" Han's mother, wearing a black lace dress with slightly permed short hair, asked, pointing at Cheng Xiaorui.
Cheng Xiaorui nodded.
Han Yu explained, "Yes, she indeed cannot speak. But she is very intelligent. She got into Lan University through her own efforts, which is quite remarkable."
"In that case, she is indeed very capable." Han's mother stood up, walked to Cheng Xiaorui, and looked her up and down. "Young lady, where are you from? What are your parents' names? How old are you?"
Her questions were unusually numerous, and she appeared exceptionally enthusiastic.
