On the school playground.
Jiang Siyu was also asking the same question, "Yu Li, I've been to the dormitory. It's really small and inconvenient. Why don't you rent me a house near the school? It won't cost much."
What she was holding in her hand was a PHS that had just been launched on the market. In this era when not everyone had a mobile phone, Jiang Siyu's actions instantly became the focus of the crowd.
While enjoying everyone's attention, she walked to a more secluded corner.
"Yu Li, let's just rent a house, okay?"
"no."
The man on the other end of the phone was very indifferent, as if he was just taking time out of his busy schedule to be polite.
Jiang Siyu was unhappy and acted like a little princess for a long time.
The man then explained calmly, "You are still in school. It is not safe to live alone outside, and it will easily make people think too much. You can interact with your classmates more in the dormitory, which is good for you."
But she didn't want to deal with them at all! What was there for her to bother making friends with Zhao Xinzi and Liu Huanyi?
"Yu Li, you..."
"Okay, be obedient."
The man's voice gradually became deeper. Jiang Siyu knew that this was a sign that he was about to get impatient. She couldn't help biting her lip and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you. But when you come back from your business trip this time, you must come to see me as soon as possible."
"Let's wait and see. I have something else to do. I'll hang up now."
After hanging up the phone, Huo Yuli sat in the panoramic office facing the river with a calm expression.
"Look at you. Why do you seem unhappy? Did that little girl make another request to you?" Huo Shu was sitting on the sofa on the other side drinking tea. Seeing his constipated face, he felt a little gloating.
Huo Yuli was in no mood to settle accounts with him. His brows became more and more gloomy. "Uncle, I always feel that she has changed."
Huo Shu paused while drinking tea, then said nonchalantly, "This is normal. After all, more than ten years have passed. It would be strange if everyone didn't change at all. Look at me, haven't I also changed from a suave and handsome young man to an old uncle?"
Huo Yuli raised his eyes to look at him, and happened to see the teasing in Huo Shu's eyes.
He said calmly, "I think that my uncle is still as careless as ever. If grandpa sees this, he will probably nag again. How about I send you abroad to gain some experience?"
"Ahem..." Huo Shu coughed twice, not daring to tease him any more. "Alright, alright, why are you still so vindictive? But let's get back to the point. It's natural for people to change. Now that you've got it, you should cherish it. Don't forget what you did in the beginning..."
Huo Shu didn't say anything else, but Huo Yuli's thoughts were lost in it.
He originally sneaked out of the Huo family to look for Ruyi, but was framed and had a car accident. He was in a coma for more than half a year before waking up. He spent another year and a half recuperating. When he was allowed to go out by his grandfather, Jiang Ruyi and her family were gone.
He searched for a long time but couldn't find it until three years ago, when Jiang Siyu suddenly appeared with a golden lock.
She told him that there had been a big fire in her house and everything was burned down. Her mother and brother were also dead. She was now alone and begged him to take her in.
Huo Yuli had doubts, but the people he sent out came back and told him that the facts were exactly the same as Jiang Siyu said. Not long after he had a car accident, a fire broke out in the town. The fire alarmed the entire town, and all the wealth and property in the town was reduced to ashes.
Later, Jiang Siyu said that the name Jiang Ruyi made her sad when she thought of it, and she wanted to change her name to Jiang Siyu, Siyu, Siyu, and he agreed.
But in the past few years, Jiang Siyu always gave him the same feeling as when he was a child.
He wanted to find more details, but his brain was damaged during the time he was in a coma. Plus, he was still young, so he couldn't remember many things. He only remembered Jiang Ruyi and the golden lock.
"It's getting late. I still have to go pick up your aunt, so I'll leave first." Huo Shu stood up and smiled like a perverted husband. "Yu Li, I'm not saying anything bad to you, but don't take everything too seriously. How many people in this world can perfectly meet your requirements? Just about enough is enough."
Huo Yuli didn't say anything, but he obviously heard it.
Strange to say, Huo Shu has been playing around for so many years and has never made up his mind. The Huo family has selected countless marriage partners for him, but all of them have been rejected. But two years ago, he went out for a trip and after coming back, he clamored to get married.
Seeing that the other party had a clean family background and that the Huo family had him to take on this important task, my grandfather agreed decisively and readily.
Now, his little aunt is about to give birth.
I don't know, he and Jiang Siyu...
Huo Yuli closed his eyes and stopped thinking about it.
The other side.
Liu Huanyi had just packed his things when Liu Jin called.
There were no video calls in those days, but Zhao Xinzi was stunned just by seeing Liu Huanyi take out his pager.
"Huanyi, you, your family is so rich! You can even use a PHS?"
"Um...actually I bought it with all the lucky money I've received since I was a child. I was really reluctant to part with it." Liu Huanyi smiled awkwardly. Zhao Xinzi nodded in understanding and didn't ask any more questions. Her explanation also made Jiang Siyu, who had just returned, breathe a sigh of relief.
She was scared to death. She thought Liu Huanyi was something special. It turned out that he had sold all his belongings to buy such a mobile phone. Unlike her, she didn't even need to ask for anything. Huo Yuli gave her the best thing.
Thinking of this, Jiang Siyu pretended to be innocent and said, "Xinzi, don't you have a mobile phone? If you want to contact your family, wouldn't it be inconvenient?"
"I... I don't have a cell phone." Zhao Xinzi's family is ordinary, and she only has one landline at home. How could she possibly afford to buy her a pager?
It was obvious that Jiang Siyu said this on purpose. The next second, she said generously, "Is that so? Then you can use mine when you need it in the future. You don't have to worry about fertilizers or anything like that. My boyfriend gives me a lot every month."
"Ah? Is it really possible? Thank you so much, Siyu!"
Listening to Zhao Xinzi's words of gratitude, Liu Huanyi was speechless for a moment.
How come this little girl is even easier to deceive than Liu Chunhua back then? Isn't Jiang Siyu's obvious behavior of giving a sweet date after a slap just to show off? How come she is so stupid that she can't even understand this?
"Huanyi, is that your roommate talking?" Liu Jin on the other end also heard it, but he couldn't hear it clearly.
"Yes, they need to rest. I'll go out and talk to you." Liu Huanyi didn't want to stay with the fool, so he found a reason and left.
Jiang Siyu watched her make the call, and the sentence she just heard kept ringing in her mind, "Is it your roommate who is talking?"
Why does this voice sound so much like Liu Chunhua?
But that's impossible!
Didn't Liu Chunhua die a long time ago? After all, the fire...
