Chapter 62: The Ex-Girlfriend Who Hates the Poor and Loves the Rich (Extra)
As soon as the news of the marriage between the Su family and Huaiyu was announced, it quickly caused a sensation throughout S City.
One is an old wealthy family, and the other is a new upstart in the business world. The marriage between the two is definitely a powerful combination. For a time, those who had previously laughed at the Su family were slapped in the face.
At this time, Su Yu, who was at the center of the storm, was eating and drinking, and lying in Qi Huaizhi's office watching TV series with great pleasure.
"Keep your voice down."
Qi Huaizhi was helpless, his mind full of the exaggerated lines of the heroine in the tablet.
Su Yu looked at him unhappily, "I told you I wouldn't come, but you insisted on me coming and didn't let me watch the drama properly. How about we cancel the engagement?"
Qi Huaizhi: "...Just pretend I didn't say anything."
He deserves it.
"Forget it, you're so annoying. I'd better go to the lounge we were in before." Su Yu grabbed a bag of potato chips from the table and left without looking back.
Looking at Su Yu's back, Qi Huaizhi held his forehead with his hand. She was really spoiled and couldn't be criticized at all.
In the final analysis, he deserved it.
Su Yu hummed a song and treated Qi Huaizhi's company as her own home. Occasionally, when she met a familiar secretary or assistant, she would greet them with a smile.
Unexpectedly, just as she reached the door of the lounge, a familiar voice called her from behind.
"Su Yu."
…
lounge.
Su Yu leaned back casually on the sofa and looked up at the woman in front of her. The angle of her gaze gave her an inexplicable feeling of being superior.
"Tell me, what do you want from me?"
Su Yu's voice was slow and soft, revealing a hint of contempt and impatience, as if she didn't take her seriously.
"I'll state in advance that if you're here to scold me like last time, please turn left and walk straight out now. I don't want to hear it."
Bai Luo didn't say anything, but just looked at Su Yu with a complicated expression.
After a long while, she finally said, "I'm going to be transferred to a branch office."
Su Yu raised her eyebrows.
After a while, she said slowly: "Congratulations."
Considering Bai Luo's position and the fact that he hadn't made any mistakes, he could only be promoted if he was transferred to a branch company, not demoted, so Su Yu said congratulations.
Bai Luo laughed at himself: "Su Yu, to be honest, you are very capable, I can't compare to you."
"Thank you."
Bai Luo choked: "..."
She deliberately ignored Su Yu's words and continued, "I used to think that without you, Huaizhi would see me sooner or later. After graduation, I gave up a lot of high-paying opportunities and entered Huaiyu just to be closer to him."
"I worked hard to learn makeup, dressing, and improve my work ability, just to be worthy of him. Finally, in the eyes of others, I am no longer the inferior and timid Bai Luo, but Director Bai of Huaiyu, who is vigorous, efficient, excellent and capable."
"But Huaizhi still doesn't have me in his heart."
"And as soon as you came back, you took him away again just like you did five years ago, making all my efforts in the past five years go to waste. It's like a joke."
Su Yu listened quietly without making any comment.
Bai Luo's eyes dimmed: "To be honest, Su Yu, I envy you."
She is pretty, her biological parents are rich, and everyone likes her. Even if she does something excessive, Qi Huaizhi can easily forgive her as long as she acts coquettishly and apologizes.
“You are really lucky.”
Hearing this, Su Yu's expression suddenly froze.
"Lucky?" She raised her voice, "Bai Luo, do you want to listen to what you are saying?"
"If I were lucky, I wouldn't have been lost when I was little, and it took more than 20 years for my biological parents to find me."
Su Yu thought Bai Luo's words were ridiculous.
"Do you know what it feels like to not have enough to eat?"
"Do you know what it feels like to only have one chicken drumstick on your birthday and have to be on guard against someone snatching it away?"
"Do you know what it feels like to watch other children being held in their parents' arms while I can only hide beside them and secretly envy them?"
"Do you know what it feels like to hide on the rooftop and eat steamed buns to save money for tuition?"
"How dare you call me lucky when you know nothing?"
Su Yu sneered: "All this was not what I was supposed to experience. Do you still think I'm lucky now?"
The questions that came one after another left Bai Luo stunned.
"Get out. I don't want to see you now." Su Yu drove him away directly.
Bai Luo had never thought about these things before.
"I……"
"go out!"
Bai Luo pursed her lips, her mind a little confused. Finally, she whispered an apology, turned and left. Her slightly messy footsteps revealed her uneasy heart.
Looking at Bai Luo's back as he hurriedly left, the angry expression on Su Yu's face disappeared, her eyes calmed down, and she slowly raised the corners of her lips.
Finally, I got rid of that annoying guy.
“It’s so easy to cheat.”
Beautiful and smart children are popular everywhere.
Su Yu knew from a young age that she was good-looking, and she knew how to use this fact. No matter which group she was in, she was always praised and protected.
Although it is not as good as the days in the Su family, I have not suffered any hardship, let alone starving.
Except for the fact that I have no money.
…
Qi Huaizhi's grandfather is an old man with a very kind face.
He had a hard life in his early years and was very thin, but his body seemed to have gotten used to it and he hasn't been able to gain any weight back in recent years. He speaks and acts slowly and calmly and is very comfortable to get along with.
Facing such an old man, Su Yu instinctively showed a gentle and well-behaved attitude, smiled sweetly, and called him "Grandpa" all the time, which was irresistible.
Ever since the two of them came over, the smile on Qi Huaizhi's grandfather's face has never faded.
There is also a ginger cat at home, which was adopted by Qi Huaizhi’s grandfather.
Su Yu couldn't let go of the cat. She chased the cat away as soon as she finished her meal. Qi Huaizhi let her do whatever she wanted, and her grandfather watched the scene lovingly.
The hut is not big, but it is packed with three people and a cat, making it particularly cozy.
"Huaizhi, are you worried about something?" the old man suddenly asked.
Qi Huai was stunned.
After a moment, he hummed softly.
Facing the grandfather who had grown up with him, Qi Huaizhi finally asked about the confusion that had been suppressed in his heart.
"Grandpa, there's just one thing I can't figure out."
He glanced in the direction Su Yu left and said, "Tell me, if there is a person who did something that was not very good, if it was someone else, you would never forgive her."
"But when it comes to her, you can't bear to forgive her. Is that right?"
His voice was light and vague, with a rare hint of confusion.
This was the first time that his grandson, who had been very opinionated since childhood, showed such an expression. The old man found it interesting and laughed.
"Grandpa is not well educated and doesn't understand these things, but he thinks that there is no need to argue about right and wrong in many things in this world. Just follow your heart."
"The older generation often says that suffering a loss is a blessing, and sometimes it is not without reason. Grandpa thinks that the little girl is pretty good. At first glance, she is a blessed person. Don't you think so?"
The old man seemed to have seen through it. He looked at Qi Huaizhi with wise and kind eyes, his voice always smiling.
Qi Huaizhi fell silent, as if thinking.
Soon, he relaxed and smiled.
"yes."
If you want to welcome this blessing into your home, you have to bear some losses.
…
The wedding was very grand, as if to present the most beautiful things in the world to Su Yu. All the details were strictly checked by Qi Huaizhi to ensure that there would be no omissions.
Witnessed by relatives, friends and guests, the two said "I do" one after another.
Only then did Qi Huaizhi's heart finally settle down.
The honeymoon trip was chosen to take place at Su Yu’s favorite beach.
On the comfortable recliner, Su Yu impatiently slapped away the man's hand that was stretched out to him and said in a tender voice, "Qi Huaizhi, are you annoying? You can't even bask in the sun. Go away."
Qi Huaizhi's eyes narrowed: "What did you call me?"
"Qi Huaizhi Qi Huaizhi Qi Huaizhi! Is there any problem?" Su Yu knew what he wanted to hear, but it was not what he wanted.
There is a problem, a big problem.
Qi Huaizhi got up directly from the recliner and walked to Su Yu's side. His tall shadow covered her. In front of Su Yu's horrified gaze, he pinched her waist and picked her up, carrying her back to his recliner like a child.
The moment she lay down, Su Yu heard a creaking sound.
The recliner took on more weight than it could bear.
"Call me husband."
"Qi Huaizhi, are you childish? There are so many people watching you."
"Call me husband."
“…Hubby, hubby, hubby, come on, you’re so annoying!”
Qi Huaizhi chuckled: "You find me annoying now, but why didn't you feel the same way when you were pursuing me?"
Su Yu refused to admit it: "Who is chasing you? Don't talk nonsense!"
"Really? Then I'll help you recall."
…
Qi Huaizhi met Su Yu for the first time in the library.
At that time, he signed up for a professional competition and wanted to find a book on the relevant major. As soon as he walked to the bookshelf area, he saw a slender girl standing on tiptoe to reach the top book.
Every time it’s almost there, the half-exposed profile of her face turns red, which is quite cute.
He couldn't help laughing.
The little girl seemed to have heard it, stopped what she was doing, stood still and looked over slightly sideways.
Those eyes were as clear as water and as bright as stars, like the surface of a clear lake, sparkling with a hint of doubt, bright and innocent, and very beautiful.
"why are you laughing?"
Qi Huaizhi said nothing, walked over slowly, raised his hand slightly, took the book she wanted, and handed it to her: "Here."
The little girl looked a little confused.
The next moment, she suddenly realized something, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment, and she whispered, "Thank you."
Those eyes were slightly curved, as beautiful as crescent moons.
Qi Huai subconsciously took a few more glances.
My heart suddenly started beating faster.
*
★The second time I met Su Yu was on the rooftop of the teaching building.
Qi Huaizhi thought that there were few people on the rooftop and it was quiet, so he bought a loaf of bread and a bottle of water for lunch, and went upstairs with the competition materials.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I walked out of the stairs, I saw a figure huddled in a corner not far away.
The little girl was chewing on a steamed bun that cost 40 cents each in the school cafeteria, while counting on her fingers and muttering to herself. She was so focused that she didn't notice that there was an extra person on the rooftop.
"I'm going to be broke again this month. A steamed bun costs 40 cents, and two meals a day cost less than a dollar. The money I save has to be used to pay for accommodation, and I also have to pay back the money I borrowed from Manman to buy daily necessities for the new semester..."
As Qi Huaizhi listened, his expression seemed a little strange.
Where did this poor little thing come from? Why does he look even more miserable than him?
His eyes fell on the girl's overly thin waist. No wonder she was so thin. How could she be so thin just by eating steamed buns?
After thinking about it, Qi Huaizhi pursed his lips and walked over.
The sunlight was blocked. The girl raised her head belatedly. In her hand was a half-eaten white steamed bun. It looked dry and tasteless.
"Is there anything wrong?"
Her voice was thin and soft, and she subconsciously hid the steamed bun in her arms, seeming a little embarrassed.
Qi Huaizhi suddenly felt depressed, but at this moment he didn't know that this emotion was called heartache.
"This is for you."
Bread and water were passed over for lunch.
The girl looked confused and puzzled.
Qi Huaizhi sighed, bent down slightly and stuffed the food into her arms: "Don't just eat the buns, they are not nutritious."
I'm already thin enough, if I lose any more weight I'll just be a bag of bones.
After saying that, he returned the same way with the competition materials, leaving this place to this poor guy who couldn't afford a meal.
*
★The third time I saw her was on the way to the teaching building.
Qi Huaizhi also felt it was a coincidence that they met three times in just a few days, as if it was fate.
What’s even more coincidental is that she is Bai Luo’s roommate.
After greeting Bai Luo, Qi Huaizhi unconsciously looked at the gentle girl who was quietly holding a book beside him.
Those eyes were as bright and clear as ever, and he caught them red-handed when they glanced at him secretly.
The little girl was startled and quickly looked away, her cheeks slightly flushed, looking very cute.
Qi Huaizhi's eyes softened unconsciously.
*
He thought it was just three ordinary encounters, but that night he received a friend request.
The avatar is a cat, and it looks like the fattest stray cat in the school, with irregular orange color spread over the white fur background, and its eyes are round, as if begging for food.
He inexplicably thought of the little girl with the same round eyes.
Qi Huaizhi, who never met strangers, almost agreed.
——Hello, I’m Su Yu.
A serious greeting.
Su Yu?
Qi Huaizhi had never heard of this name.
The next message came.
——I asked Luoluo for your contact information.
——Thank you for the bread and water you gave me that day. The bread was delicious.
——No matter how much it is, I will pay you back next time.
It turned out to be her?
Is her name Su Yu? It sounds nice and suits her very well.
Qi Huaizhi glanced at the girl's profile picture again, and after a while, he typed slowly.
——No need to return it, it’s my treat.
Just think of it as feeding the poor little animals.
The conversation between the two ended here.
Looking at the chat box with only a few sentences, Qi Huaizhi suddenly couldn't fall asleep. He tossed and turned in bed. As soon as he closed his eyes, he saw those bright and innocent eyes.
Sometimes she is cute in the library, sometimes she is eating buns pitifully on the rooftop, and sometimes she becomes lively while secretly glancing at you from the street.
I only saw it three times, but it left such a deep impression that I can never forget it.
*
After that day, Qi Huaizhi always opened the chat software unconsciously, but the cat avatar never lit up.
A slight irritation surged in his heart, Qi Huaizhi simply threw down his professional books and pulled his roommate out to play ball.
After sweating profusely, you won’t think about these messy things anymore.
There were quite a few people on the basketball court, and Qi Huaizhi's presence attracted all the attention of the few girls there, making the others jealous.
This guy is not a human being. Not only did he eat the meat, he didn't even leave the soup for others.
As exclamations rang out, a beautiful three-pointer decided the victory. Qi Huaizhi lifted up his clothes to wipe the sweat off his face and bumped fists with his teammates to celebrate.
Qi Huaizhi glanced at the crowd watching the excitement, and suddenly stopped, his eyes fixed accurately on the little girl in a white dress who was standing in the crowd.
She held a bottle of water nervously, met his gaze, and instantly avoided it in panic. The next second, she mustered up the courage to look back.
My heart is beating like a drum.
Qi Huaizhi watched the figure getting closer and closer until it stood in front of him.
The little girl's cheeks were slightly red, her lips were slightly pursed, her eyes were curved, gentle and pretty, and she handed the water in her hand over: "Here you go."
Qi Huaizhi didn't know how he took it.
In short, the beautiful and cute "cat" was very timid and ran away so fast that he didn't even have time to say thank you.
His roommate hooked his shoulder jokingly and said, "You are really good, you have seduced such a pretty girl."
Qi Huaizhi brushed him off calmly: "Don't talk nonsense."
He lowered his eyes and looked at the water in his hand. His first reaction was that he could only afford to eat a 40-cent steamed bun for his meal, and now he had to spend money to buy him water. Isn't that even more pitiful?
When he returned home in the evening, Qi Huaizhi transferred ten yuan to Su Yu.
——Thank you for the water.
Half an hour later, there was a reply.
--You're welcome.
The money was not collected.
For several days in a row, Qi Huaizhi could see her on the basketball court, standing quietly in the crowd, gentle and well-behaved, with sparkling eyes looking at him, and he couldn't ignore her even if he wanted to.
It's really hard to resist.
Qi Huaizhi hadn't seen such a sincere and likable girl for a long time.
But every time he finished playing ball and wanted to find her, he would slip away quickly.
You might say she was timid, but she dared to bring him water in public. She ignored other people's interested looks and came over every day, staring at him playing basketball without blinking.
Although she is brave, she never dares to talk to him.
A strange and contradictory little girl.
*
That day, Qi Huaizhi went to class as usual.
As soon as he sat down, his arm was suddenly bumped by his roommate, who blinked wildly at him and signaled him to look at the last row.
Realizing something, Qi Huaizhi looked back suddenly.
Sure enough, the little girl was sitting quietly in the last row. When she met his gaze, she dodged it in panic and shyness.
As far as he knew, this class was a professional course in the Computer Science Department and it was impossible for it to appear on the schedule of the School of Economics and Management.
Then there is only one possibility for her to appear here...
Qi Huaizhi's heart beat much faster.
I didn't listen carefully during the whole class until the teacher at the podium pushed up his glasses and started asking questions.
"The student in the last row looks a little unfamiliar. So you should answer this question."
Qi Huaizhi thought something was wrong and quickly started looking at the questions.
Su Yu was stunned for a moment before she realized that the teacher was talking about her, and she stood up hesitantly.
“…”
Suddenly, she saw a boy not far ahead quietly holding up a piece of paper.
"Choose A!" she said quickly.
The teacher nodded and said, "Good. Sit down and listen carefully in class next time."
Obviously, he thought Su Yu was a student who often skipped classes.
Qi Huaizhi breathed a sigh of relief and put down the paper in his hand. There was a big letter A on it.
My roommate was lying on the table and laughing like crazy.
"Qi Huaizhi, who could have thought that this day would come to you, hahahahahahahaha." The roommate tried hard to suppress his voice and laughed wildly.
…
"Did you remember?"
Qi Huaizhi pinched Su Yu's cheek and lifted up a piece of soft flesh threateningly.
"You added me on WeChat, sent me water, watched me play basketball, secretly asked for my class schedule and followed me to the classroom, and even forced me to send you answers. Did you do all this?"
Su Yu's eyes were wandering, not knowing whether she should admit that she was just looking for a long-term meal ticket. Who could have thought that she had made a mistake and found Qi Huaizhi, who, apart from having a good-looking face, was not much better than her.
"Okay, okay, it's me who can't do it." She buried her face in Qi Huaizhi's neck and said angrily, "Why are you so annoying?"
Qi Huaizhi chuckled: "It's no use hating me. Don't even think about getting rid of me in this life."
The setting sun melts into gold, and dusk falls all around.
In the setting sun, the two shadows were stretched very long, from immaturity to maturity, breaking up and getting together again, but always the same.
