Liu Jingze took out a small box from the bedside table with his left hand and handed it to Su Tiantian.
Su Tiantian opened it and saw a pearl and silver bead bracelet inside. The freshwater pearls were plump and lustrous, and each pearl was strung with a small silver bead. On both sides of the button were a silver lotus pendant and a silver lotus bud pendant. The style was novel and fashionable.
Su Tiantian said: "Brother Jing, why did you suddenly give me a gift?"
Liu Jingze said, "I didn't buy it. Your father, your father-in-law, bought it. He brought it back from a business trip. I'll help you put it on. If the length isn't right, you can take it to Liangming's jewelry store to have it adjusted."
Su Tiantian let Liu Jingze put the bracelet on her in a daze. After putting it on, she shook it and it looked very beautiful, with an elegant and gentle feeling. The only problem was that it could have been longer if there were one more pearl and one more silver bead.
Su Tiantian was really confused: "Why did Dad buy me a bracelet?"
Liu Jingze suppressed a smile and said, "I feel guilty. He and his godfather brought me a gift, and then I remembered that I didn't bring you a gift. I heard that he asked one of his godfather's female secretaries to choose this bracelet. Let me take a look, the length is a little long. I'll adjust it tomorrow."
Su Tiantian buried her head in Liu Jingze's arms: "Brother Jing, when you say that, it's my turn to feel guilty. Who said that the father-in-law must bring gifts for his daughter-in-law when he goes on a business trip?"
Liu Jingze said, "He gave it to you, so just accept it. Do you still want to hear me talk about the past? Actually, it's about Jiang Sihui's past. Did your father tell you about it?"
Su Tiantian whispered, "Listen, Dad only told me that she started a company with you, and that you two are just friends and siblings."
Liu Jingze's low voice contained some nostalgia and some anger:
That year, when I was 18 years old, I went to Province C to study at a university. Like Situ Mingyan, I was a freshman. She was very famous in school. She was the second daughter of Shengxin Group, a well-known real estate company in Province C. She gave people the impression of a cold and noble rich lady. Many people pursued her, and many people tried to please her.
When she came to school, there was a grand ceremony. She was sent by many luxury cars. Her brother Situ Mingtao personally sent her there with more than ten bodyguards. Her fiancé also rolled out the red carpet and welcomed her with flowers. The publicity department of the school took pictures of this romantic and warm scene.
How many girls were intoxicated and heartbroken at the same time. The intoxicated ones were envious and expectant, the heartbroken ones felt that they had no chance, and some said that they believed in love again.
I was an ordinary freshman, and I had no connection with Situ Mingyan, the so-called "rich girl" to everyone else. After all, we even studied in different departments and majors. But I always heard about Situ Mingyan. She was a big shot on campus, so naturally, everyone was paying attention to her every move.
Situ Mingyan's fiancé, He Xinyu, is a senior in college and the president of the student union. He's in the same department and major as me. He Xinyu and Situ Mingyan are not only talented but also beautiful. It's a perfect match, a marriage of convenience. I heard they're in a good relationship.
One day at noon in the second semester of my sophomore year, after lunch, I passed by a small forest in the school and saw four girls bullying another girl. The bullied girl was very tall and strong, with a look of grievance on her face. I knew that girl. She and I were in the same club. She was Jiang Sihui, a sophomore in the same department and major as me.
I heard a girl say, "Look at yourself, big fat girl. How can you deserve Cai Bifei's love? He can't even hold you."
Another girl said: "There is no mirror. Take a basin of water and look at yourself. Which boy would like you? Look, even girls don't like you. No one will help you."
One girl said, "Senior Cai Bifei is tall, handsome, and talented. Why are you so shameless to cling to him?"
A girl remained silent, but she looked at Jiang Sihui with an unfriendly look.
Jiang Sihui said: "He is my boyfriend. It is not up to you to decide whether you are worthy of him or not. Besides, does he like you without me?"
When those girls started fighting, I, a young and energetic person, could not bear to watch such a scene. Moreover, when I participated in club activities, I noticed Jiang Sihui. Because of her appearance, she was very eye-catching and really didn't have many friends, but she was very kind and studious.
I am quite skilled, and the four girls were no match for Jiang Sihui and me. She hugged me and cried that day. She said she couldn't believe that there would be a boy willing to help her. I sat with her on the stone bench under the tree, and on that hot afternoon, I listened to her love story with Cai Bifei.
I actually knew Cai Bifei. He was the handsome sophomore in the Civil Engineering Department. I heard a lot of girls liked him, saying he was a noble boy from a humble family, handsome, ambitious, and self-respecting.
What’s the big deal about being the most handsome guy in the department? I’m still the most handsome guy in the Department of Business Administration.
Hearing this, Su Tiantian couldn't help but laugh: "Brother Jing, you just said you were an ordinary freshman, but it turns out you are the most handsome boy in the Department of Business Administration."
Liu Jingze said, "Yes, they chose him. The original school idol of the Business Administration Department was He Xinyu, and he is about to graduate from his senior year. So they chose him privately. The main reason is that all the students above the sophomore year have seen him. Freshmen are new faces and attract more attention. I am indeed an ordinary person in front of the He family and the Situ family."
Su Tiantian said, "Brother Jing, please continue. What happened to Cai Bifei later?"
Liu Jingze's tone was a bit sarcastic, and his expression was a bit disdainful:
He had been receiving financial support from the Jiang family since his first year of junior high school, which allowed him to successfully complete middle school and high school. He was the one who actively pursued Jiang Sihui, and they were together in their freshman year as an open couple. However, when he met Situ Mingyan, a freshman, they were together even though they were both in a public relationship.
They can be together, but they are not together openly.
Cai Bifei was a gigolo and didn't dare to break up with Jiang Sihui because the Jiang family was actually quite well off in that place and they had business dealings with the He family. However, Uncle Jiang, Jiang Sihui's father, didn't have much say in the family back then, but compared to Cai Bifei's conditions, there was a huge difference.
Cai Bifei seems to be really popular with girls. He hinted in front of the girl he liked that it was Jiang Sihui who forced her to be with him out of favor, so some girls helped him to cause trouble for Jiang Sihui.
Situ Mingyan was playing two games at once, wanting both love and marriage. She was not as cold and noble as she appeared to be. She even made it clear to some boys who wanted to please her, so there were also men who caused trouble for Ah Hui. Ah Hui was really pitiful at that time.
After I helped Jiang Sihui, it was my turn to be in trouble. As a grown man with strong fighting skills and good interpersonal relationships, all the troubles were resolved one by one.
