My Multiple Identities Revealed After Marrying the Bigshot-Chapter 109: My Husband’s Family Is Also Average

Lu Xiaohui hadn’t seen it before either, and now she leaned over along with Xia Jinqiao and Mo Yuchun to look at the names on the marriage certificate.

"Zhou Shuyan. That’s a nice-sounding name," Lu Xiaohui muttered.

Lu Youxi smiled. It seemed like everyone who saw Zhou Shuyan’s name had the same reaction.

"Is he also from your village?" Xia Jinqiao handed the marriage certificate back to Lu Youxi.

"Sort of," replied Lu Youxi, unsure of how to explain, "He came with me this time. I stay on campus for my studies while he works in the Imperial Capital."

Mo Yuchun hesitated before asking, "Is it an arranged marriage? Did your family force you into it?"

"No, we are in a relationship by choice," Lu Youxi said, as if it were true.

Her roommates: "..."

Lu Youxi, a bright student from Jing University with a promising future, had surprisingly married an ordinary villager.

Having just arrived at Jing University, Lu Youxi probably hadn’t felt much yet.

After some time, perhaps she would look down on her husband?

However, these thoughts remained unspoken by her roommates.

"By the way, your meal cards." Xia Jinqiao returned Lu Youxi and Lu Xiaohui’s meal cards to them.

Lu Youxi quickly finished her dinner and went alone to a small commercial street next to the school.

This street primarily served Jing University students.

The small stores along the street were modest, and their prices were within what most students could afford.

Lu Youxi found a small accessory shop.

The shop was tiny, with three walls covered in accessories packaged in plastic bags.

Long glass counters stood against each wall.

Inside them were small trinkets that couldn’t be hung on the walls.

Lu Youxi browsed quickly and soon found the section with rings.

She noticed a plain silver ring with a discreet pattern on it.

It cost 15 yuan, which was reasonable.

Lu Youxi took the ring along with its package off the hook, paid at the cashier, removed the packaging right there and threw it in the trash can at the entrance, and then slipped the ring onto her left ring finger.

Chengzhou Group.

"CEO, Jing University’s freshman orientation ceremony is coming up, and they’d like to invite you to give the opening speech," Yu Zeqin said as Zhou Shuyan looked up. "Our group donated a laboratory to the university’s Physics Department and has continued to provide experimental equipment, including updates. Many of our group’s employees are Jing University graduates."

Because of the frequent donations, Jing University had a good relationship with Chengzhou Group.

They would always invite Zhou Shuyan to significant events.

However, Zhou Shuyan didn’t always personally attend.

"You go and give the speech on my behalf," Zhou Shuyan said.

"You’ve always gone in person in the past," Yu Zeqin stated expressionlessly. frёeωebɳovel.com

"Are you asking deliberately?" Zhou Shuyan tossed the pen in his hand down and looked at Yu Zeqin irritably. "Lu Youxi is here, wouldn’t I give myself away if I went?"

Since he hadn’t planned to drag Lu Youxi into his messy affairs, he also didn’t intend to let her know his true identity.

For Lu Youxi, the less she knew about his matters, the better.

If Lu Youxi knew his identity, she’d probably find him a hassle and stay far away from him.

"CEO, I’m curious about something," Yu Zeqin didn’t even ask if he could inquire before speaking, "Why are you afraid of Miss Lu finding out your identity?"

"They think I’m just an ordinary office worker," Zhou Shuyan pinched the bridge of his nose. "Although I suspect Lu Youxi may not quite believe it, there’s too much chaos on my end, and I don’t want to involve her."

"And," Zhou Shuyan mentioned Lu Youxi and couldn’t help but smile, "she’s too cautious. If she knew my identity, she’d soon connect it to the trouble here. She’d probably keep her distance."

"I see," Yu Zeqin nodded, not wanting to cause trouble for Lu Youxi, yet also fearing she’d stay away from him.

Ah! Love makes a man troublesome.

The day of the freshman orientation ceremony arrived.

The ceremony took place in the auditorium.

Lu Youxi and her roommates arrived together. As Lu Youxi had been selected as a freshman representative to speak, they found seats in the second row.

Lu Xiaohui and her roommates simply moved forward to sit together with Lu Youxi.

At that moment, Lu Youxi’s left ring finger was adorned with the silver ring she had bought herself as a wedding ring.

As more and more students took their seats, everyone passing by couldn’t help but glance at the ring on Lu Youxi’s left finger.

Recently, the news of Lu Youxi’s marriage had become widespread, overshadowing rumors of Lin Jingshen pursuing her.

Just then, a bold male student directly asked Lu Youxi, "Lu Youxi, did you really get married?"

Lu Youxi showed the ring on her left ring finger, "Of course. Initially, I just wanted to focus on my studies and avoid rumors. But it seems that it has caused some misunderstandings, so I decided to wear the ring openly."

The student hadn’t expected Lu Youxi to admit it so openly and was momentarily at a loss for words.

Then he heard Lu Youxi continue, "You can also go back and tell the students you know, so there’s no need for everyone to ask me individually."

The student: "..."

You’ve said everything, what else can I say?

The student sheepishly smiled twice and then walked away.

However, Lu Youxi soon realized that this student had been relatively tactful.

Some people even bluntly said, "Lu Youxi, no matter what, it’s a wedding ring after all. You don’t need to buy a branded ring, but at least get a gold one, right? Even if you get one made at a shop. Yours looks like it’s made of silver?"

"It is silver," Lu Youxi nodded. "Gold rings are too expensive, and we can’t afford them. You know the situation with my family; all the money was taken by my cousin, Lu Youbang. My family couldn’t afford my dowry, and my husband’s family is also average. Besides, I married him empty-handed, so it wouldn’t be right to demand a gold ring from them."

Lu Youxi noticed that the rumors about Lu Youbang depleting their family’s finances had begun to fade.

She hoped these people wouldn’t just chat enough and forget about it.

That wouldn’t do.

Lu Youxi seized every chance to spread the word about Lu Youbang.

Upon hearing this, a classmate sighed. Lu Youbang was really creating problems.

Both he—I mean, she—and her sister were studying at Jing University.

It was something her whole family was proud of.

In the city, it was rare for one family to have two Jing University students.

Yet, because of their financial problems, it seemed Lu Youxi, a brilliant Jing University student, had married early.
