Many people say that Su Yunbai has a good temper, but in Huo Qinian's opinion, this is completely nonsense.

Su Yunbai is actually a very tough person.

Some people are tough on the surface, while others are tough in their bones.

Su Yunbai is a person who is tough in his bones.

Huo Qinian first saw Su Yunbai's toughness two years ago.

Two years ago, Mr. Huo celebrated his 60th birthday and invited many people, including some people related to the family in City B.

When the banquet list was handed to Huo Qinian, he handed it to Su Yunbai.

Huo Qinian didn't think there was any problem at the time. As for entertaining guests, who still handles it personally now? Of course, it is handed over to a specialized company. The only people that the hosts needed to personally deal with were some old friends.

Su Yunbai was of ordinary origin, so there was nothing to be concerned about in her social life. On the contrary, he had more friends, but because they were all his friends, the social pressure was naturally on him.

According to Huo Qinian's idea, Su Yunbai only needed to dress up properly, follow Huo Manying, and greet people with a smile as Mrs. Huo that day.

This should not be difficult, so Huo Qinian didn't take it to heart at all.

Su Yunbai didn't seem to take it to heart either. But for several days afterwards, Huo Qinian found that his wife could unexpectedly stay up late. Not only did she wait for him to go to bed together every time, but she also got up earlier than him every time.

He had wondered in his heart: How come she, a small clerk, is busier than him, the president of a large group.

He is really ambitious.

Then, Mrs. Huo was unexpectedly talkative.

She chose the right time. Either at the dinner table or before going to bed... In short, they were all times when he was more relaxed and at leisure.

The topics she was interested in were also varied. Starting from the construction of the urban areas of City A and City B, she talked about historical changes, humanities, personal preferences...

Huo Qinian was indeed a sensitive person. After she came two or three times like this, he figured it out.

It turned out that she was quietly inquiring about the preferences of the guests.

Huo Qi Nian was so old, and he had dealt with all kinds of strange people. But most of the time, the people who came in front of him were either so stupid that he could see through them at a glance, or they were so smart that they knew how to be superior and could handle everything for him.

It was rare to find someone like Su Yunbai who was in between the two, who was smart enough to cover up, but also overestimated her own abilities and dared to play tricks on him without being well-trained . It was

quite fresh.

Huo Qinian became interested.

It was rare for people like him to be interested. So, he pretended that he didn't understand what Su Yunbai meant, and followed her rhythm honestly, occasionally trying to set up some obstacles with a bad intention.

But he soon discovered that Su Yunbai was really smart.

Some people may be born with the ability to obtain information, or in other words, have a first-class ability to summarize information. The more feedback he gave Su Yunbai, the more information she got.

After three or five times, Su Yunbai became not easy to fool, and even vaguely understood his intentions.

She asked him directly: "Can you find someone who knows the preferences of each family to teach me? I don't know anything, and I'm afraid I'll lose face."

He joked at the time: "Don't worry. Even if something goes wrong accidentally, people with good relationships won't take it to heart, and for those with average relationships, just because you are Mrs. Huo, who dares to give you a cold shoulder?"

Su Yunbai was very persistent.

Huo Qinian was a little disappointed for some reason.

But since Su Yunbai mentioned it, he couldn't play dumb anymore.

Starting from the next day, Huo Manying frequently went in and out of Lotus Mountain.

Huo Qinian didn't mean to make things difficult for Su Yunbai. Of course, Huo Manying should be consulted for such matters as "everything from which hair gel to apply to a single strand of hair". Who else understands the essence of this matter better than her?

Huo Qinian didn't quite understand how Huo Manying taught Su Yunbai, but at the banquet that day, the person who appeared in front of the guests was indeed a very perfect Mrs. Huo.

Huo Qinian didn't realize that Su Yunbai was unusual until someone muttered, "Why haven't I heard of such a daughter in the Su family?"

She can even make people think that she is someone in the circle!

Huo Qinian didn't feel much about such compliments, but he thought that his aunt should be very satisfied with it - Huo Manying has always been a person who has engraved the so-called decency on her face, and even engraved it into her bones.

She should be very satisfied with Su Yunbai, right?

But after the banquet, Huo Qinian heard that at the banquet, Huo Manying had lost her temper with Su Yunbai.

What happened?

Huo Qinian was really curious.

Before going to bed that night, he chatted with Su Yunbai for a while, just to give her enough time to tell him about Huo Manying's temper.

Who knew that she didn't say a word.

She didn't say anything, but Huo Manying complained to him herself.

Oh, it's about a skirt.

Huo Qinian was not interested.

He didn't have much interest in understanding. But when he turned around, he found that his wife was busy again.

It was strange, why was she so busy?

One night, Huo Qinian came back late. Su Yunbai may have been tired of waiting for him, and fell asleep on the table in the study.

Huo Qinian originally wanted to ask her to go back to the room to sleep, but he unexpectedly saw the interface open on her computer, which was colorful and full of luxury goods.

Looking at the browser history, it can be traced back to one or two months ago, and it was all from the evening to the early morning.

Su Yunbai also had a notebook under her arm, which was densely written with words, all of which were some so-called "knowledge points".

Huo Qinian was amused and confused.

It turned out that she had been busy with these things.

It was too lame.

Huo Qinian wanted to laugh.

But when he figured out the cause and effect of everything, he couldn't help feeling a little strange in his heart.

People grow up in very different environments, and their experiences and cognitions vary greatly as a result - Huo Qinian has known this for a long time.

But this was the first time that he realized the difference so clearly - the things that he regarded as normal, or even as common sense, could only be learned by staying up late day after day and using all his energy in Su Yunbai's place.

How much could she learn from those true and false strategies and posts on the Internet? How many of them were correct?

They didn't even look at the background of the people who wrote these things, nor did they look at why they wrote them.

Huo Qinian waited for Su Yunbai to ask him for help.

He waited and waited, but it took a long time.

Huo Qinian was amused.

Su Yunbai was really tough.

Sometimes Huo Qinian was curious, how could she, a person with a plain and simple appearance and a slightly weak appearance, have such a bad temper?

Being tough is not a bad thing, but being too tough is a bit confusing.

Su Yunbai didn't know how to ask for help, and just relied on herself... As the saying goes, "Those who are too strong are more likely to break", it is a small matter.

Huo Qinian began to think that Su Yunbai was stupid.

He even thought that he was stupid for competing with her.

He was too lazy to pay attention to it.

If you don't understand something, just learn it slowly and find some etiquette teacher to train you.

It's not a big deal, just asking for it is like stepping on her dignity.

Huo Qinian "arbitrarily" sent someone to teach her.

He thought that someone like Su Yunbai, who was so obsessed with face that she suffered in life, who worked hard in private but pretended to be bright and beautiful on the outside, would be angry and ashamed after her forced decency was exposed. He

was too lazy to look at her conceited and inferior face, and did not go home for two or three days.

When he almost put the matter behind him, he came back and saw Su Yunbai with bright eyes.

Huo Qinian never knew that a person's eyes could be so bright. Obviously, she was still so reserved when she smiled, and her whole person exuded a clear and cold taste, but her eyes were as bright as the sharp edge of a sword, and they were warm.

It seemed that from that time on, the way she looked at him was so bright. When

Huo Qinian thought of the past, he felt a little depressed in his heart.

In fact, he had always wanted to see Su Yunbai bow her head. But he didn't expect that she had never bowed her head in so many difficult moments over the years, and now that there was obviously nothing wrong, she suddenly softened.

Why is she not tough anymore?

Why is she... crying?

Su Yunbai seldom cries. Of course, no matter how rare it is, Huo Qinian has seen it before.

The most recent time was when Su Yunbai's grandmother passed away. Her eyes were red for several days in a row. Sometimes when she was talking about something, she would get emotional and couldn't bear it, so she would turn her head back in time, or put her hands on her eyes, and her whole body would tremble slightly...

This was a rare time when she was in a bad mood.

She was becoming more and more like Mrs. Huo, more and more decent, and would not easily lose her composure in front of outsiders.

Most of the time, she was perfect.

Even when she asked for a divorce from him, she was so logical and clear-cut. When she stood in front of him, her back was so straight, so righteous!

She was so tough that she didn't shed a single tear from beginning to end. She didn't shed tears when she asked for a divorce from him, she didn't shed tears when she moved out of Lianshan, and she didn't shed tears when he embarrassed her in front of so many people in their company...

Why is it that now...

It's just singing a song, why does she suddenly don't care?

The music in the box continued.

Su Yunbai didn't look at anyone, just focused on the direction of the screen, and seemed to be fully immersed in it.

But her tone was completely out of place.

Hoarse, trembling, collapsing, bursting...

She trembled as she opened her eyes, her eyelashes wet by tears clung together, covering her eyes with darkness, as if she was trying to maintain dignity for her master.

But its master didn't want dignity. She couldn't help wanting to blink, and every time she blinked, new tears flowed from her eye sockets, leaving a bright mark on her face.

Not ugly, but unruly.

Huo Qinian looked at Su Yunbai like this, and it was like a fire was burning in his heart, with all kinds of feelings.

Su Yunbai, stop singing.

...It's very ugly.

Su Yunbai, where is your toughness? Where is your dignity?

You...stop crying.
