Su Ruo looked at Zhou Nianxue's gentle yet sad eyes that were looking at her, and felt disgusted again.
Who is this?
Does that mean he doesn't like me, but because of responsibility he won't leave me even if he wants to?
She never lets others make her angry.
In the past, when Lin Wanhua and Su Jia wanted to annoy her, they were always suffocated by her.
So she smiled, stood up, put away her smile, raised her chin slightly and said with some arrogance: "Well, Brother Han is indeed a very responsible and principled person. So since he married me, he only has me in his heart and will only be responsible for me. So, Comrade Zhou, you should stop dreaming about other people's husbands. No one has taught you that this is very immoral. I think Comrade Zhou should receive re-education and reform."
Zhou Nianxue:......
She was so angry that her face almost turned green.
She went to Hanjia Village to check.
He asked many people and also gave some things to Zecheng's third brother's sister-in-law, Wu Jiaoyan. That woman was short-sighted and said everything after he gave her a little something.
People in Hanjia Village said that Su Ruo was a gentle, kind, and patient female educated youth who was good to others and children, but a little withdrawn and didn't like to get too close to others.
Wu Jiaoyan said that he was a fool who was arrogant. She said that even though Ze Cheng was so well-off, he was still arrogant and didn't want to live with him properly. She didn't like him...
Although later I heard Yu Wan say something different.
But no matter what, she thought she should be the kind of girl who is a little bit aloof and won't tolerate any injustice.
Being spoiled.
Who would have thought that she could be so sharp-tongued and speak so harshly?
Zhou Nianxue took a deep breath, trying not to be affected by this unexpected situation.
She is a tenacious person, and she will not retreat in disgrace until today's goal is achieved.
She closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, her expression was finally much calmer.
She looked at Su Ruo and said, "But, Comrade Su, I heard from Ah Wan that you have received the admission letter from the Cultural Relics and Art Department of Qingdao University, and your life will finally get back on track. It was also a coincidence that you were sent to the countryside. We are all victims played by fate. Can't you understand my feelings?"
"I heard that Comrade Su had a childhood sweetheart who shared the same ideals with him before he was sent down to the countryside? He is still single now, and is probably still waiting for you. I know that it may be annoying and irrational for me to come to you today... In fact, I just need to wait until you go to college and return to your previous life trajectory. Then you may not need me to look for you, and all the misplaced things may return to the right track."
"It's just that I still want to meet you and tell you what happened back then. This will be fair to both you and me. Let's both open up our hearts, stop dwelling on the past, and truly start over."
Su Ruo really wanted to applaud her.
What a great statement: “It’s fair to you and to me, let us both open up our hearts, stop dwelling on the past, and truly start over.” It sounds so noble and pompous.
But the real purpose is just to tell her, hey, your husband doesn't love you, he loves me, he married you to get revenge on me, now I am divorced, you have been admitted to university, then we will return to the previous "right track", you go to study, and give your husband back to me......
Pooh!
He just wanted her to feel resentful towards Han Zecheng so that they could break up while he was at university.
Su Ruo stood up and sneered, "You choose your own path, and you have to swallow it yourself, whether it's good or bad. It's useless to play some tricks behind the scenes. What's wrong, what's wrong, what's the right track? There is no track in life. You have to live your life yourself."
"You treat marriage as a tool, you marry when you need it, and kick the person out when you are done with it. How can you expect to get back on track? It's a joke."
Can you be more disgusting?
After saying that, he stood up and wanted to leave.
"Comrade Su!"
Zhou Nianxue called out.
She also slowly stood up, and then in front of Su Ruo, she tore off her clothes from her shoulders.
There are shocking scars on the snow-white skin.
Her eyes were red as she looked at Su Ruo and said, "You choose your own path, and you have to swallow it yourself, whether it's good or bad. But look at my shoulders, there are scars all over my body. Five years ago, ever since I married that man, I have been abused by him. For my father, I endured it. I even had two miscarriages in the meantime. I have long lost the qualifications to be a mother."
"Tell me, can I swallow this kind of life? So, I chose to divorce. Tell me again, is this still the same as kicking someone out after you're done with them?"
She gritted her teeth, tears rolling down her cheeks, and said, "But even if we get divorced, I have nothing left. I am being played around by fate, my life is dark, and I don't even know how to go on. I can only hold on to the little bit of sunshine from many years ago... Comrade Su,"
"We are all played by fate. But now, Comrade Su has received the notice that he lost many years ago. Everything you lost many years ago, your family, lover, and friends, will return to you, and your future will be bright."
"Erzecheng is just an accident to you, or a straw that once supported you. Now that you have reached shore, you no longer need this straw... But to me, it is the only light in my life."
Su Ruo looked at the woman in front of her who was crying. She seemed to be trying to be strong, but her eyes were full of sadness.
At that moment, Su Ruo was really in bad shape from beginning to end.
She didn't want to say anything more, so she turned around and walked towards the door. She didn't turn back until she reached the door and said, "I know what you mean. You said so much just to tell me that you are pitiful and want me to give Brother Han to you."
"But there are so many poor people in this world. We should do something meaningful with our lives, not cut our own flesh and feed our own blood to hungry people. If you lose your husband and can't have children, I will have to pack up my husband and children and send them to you."
"Besides, what is Brother Han in your eyes? Just a prop? What do you mean by 'the straw that once came to an end has been brought ashore and is no longer needed... the only light in your life? For you, only your own feelings are feelings, and only your own pain is pain. Are others just props?"
"Brother Han is a human being, a living being with feelings and thoughts. He is not a straw, nor a bright light. If you have the nerve to look for him, then go find him yourself. Why are you looking for me?"
After saying this, she no longer paid any attention to Zhou Nianxue, whose face was as pale as a ghost, and opened the door and went out.
As soon as she stepped out of the door, she saw Yu Wan standing outside.
When Yu Wan saw her, he looked a little embarrassed, as if he wanted to explain something to her, but Su Ruo didn't want to talk to her at all. She withdrew her gaze and left.
******
When Yu Wan returned to the room, he saw Zhou Nianxue sitting at the table with her face covered by her hands and her head lowered.
"Nian Xue?"
Yu Wan called out.
She has been friends with Zhou Nianxue since she moved to the provincial capital after elementary school. After knowing and getting to know each other for so many years, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are as close as sisters. Therefore, she knows everything between her and Han Zecheng from beginning to end, and is also clear about everything Zhou Nianxue has suffered over the years, as well as the whole process of their divorce.
Her heart was filled with sympathy for her situation.
Because she knew that Han Zecheng returned to his rural hometown to get married a month after breaking up with Zhou Nianxue.
He never mentioned her to anyone else in the years since then.
So she had always thought that his marriage with Su Ruo was a completely arranged marriage and there was no happiness at all. So when Zhou Nianxue wanted to divorce and wanted to reconcile with Han Zecheng, although she didn't say anything, she hoped in her heart that she could get what she wanted.
Because Han Zecheng is really a responsible and good man.
She hopes he can give her happiness.
But who knew that things would take a sudden turn?
Su Ruo was an accident.
Even Yu Wan himself didn't know how to persuade Zhou Nianxue.
Zhou Nianxue raised her head, her face full of tears.
When Yu Wan thought of Su Ruo's expression when she left, his heart skipped a beat.
She walked up to her, sat next to her, and said softly, "Nianxue, what's wrong? What did you say?"
She originally thought that she was just unwilling to give up and was curious about Su Ruo and wanted to meet her.
Maybe after seeing each other, I will give up and start a good life again.
Who could have known that after the two met, one of them would have an ugly look on his face and the other's face would be full of tears?
Zhou Nianxue pulled the corners of her mouth, but failed to force a smile, instead, another string of tears fell.
She leaned on Yu Wan's shoulder and choked up, "She already knew that Ze Cheng and I were engaged. I explained to her why I had no choice...but she was very wary of me."
As he said this, he repeated Su Ruo's words, "There are many pitiful people in this world."
She said, "Ah Wan, I'm sorry. I heard that she was admitted to Qingdao University, and that her former fiancé's mother, Professor Shu, is now a professor in the Department of Architecture at Qingdao University. I heard that the Su family and the Yuan family have a deep connection, and Professor Shu has always loved and cared for her like her own daughter. Her fiancé has been single for many years, so I had this foolish idea."
"I was inappropriate in this matter. Ah Wan, please tell Yilin about my meeting with her. Let Yilin apologize to Zecheng on my behalf. This will also prevent Zecheng from misunderstanding that you let me meet his wife in private and causing a rift between you two... I will not meet him."
Yu Wan felt a headache after hearing this.
While feeling heartbroken and sad, I also caught another piece of information.
She said, "What did you say? Su Ruo's ex-fiancé's mother is now a professor in the Department of Architecture at Qingdao University? And, her fiancé is still single... What's going on? Has he always been a professor at Qingdao University, or was he transferred there later? Does Su Ruo know about this?"
Zhou Nianxue nodded, then shook her head.
She said, "I don't know about that. But now the Yuan family, including Yuan Chengyang, lives in the family compound of Qing University. I think Su Ruo will have a lot to do with them in the future."
As he spoke, he explained in detail the relationship between Su Ruo, Yuan Chengyang, and the Yuan family, and the fact that the Yuan family was an architectural family.
She said, "Ah Wan, things have come to this point, and I have nothing to hide from you. You know how I feel about Ze Cheng, so after I knew that Su Ruo followed Ze Cheng to Biyang, I couldn't help but investigate her."
"She has had a close relationship with the Yuan family since she was a child. Her desire to apply to Qingdao University can be said to be deeply influenced by the Yuan family and Yuan Chengyang. She and Yuan Chengyang are childhood sweethearts and have a deep relationship. I also found out about this, and then heard that she applied for the Department of Cultural Relics and Art at Qingdao University, which is in the same college as Professor Shu. I thought that she might rekindle her old relationship with Yuan Chengyang, so I told her about my past with Ze Cheng."
After she finished speaking, she shook her head and said, "When she goes to college, Zecheng will know these things sooner or later, and they are all facts, so what I tell you now cannot be regarded as gossiping behind her back. But she is right, these things should be left to nature, and even if she and Zecheng are not together, I am no longer worthy of Zecheng in my current state."
Yu Wan felt frightened and uncomfortable after hearing this.
He was shocked by what happened between Su Ruo and the Yuan family, and he was upset because of Zhou Nianxue.
She felt that Nianxue's life was too bitter and too rough.
He is obviously a child of a prominent family, and Uncle Zhou is a respected elder. He has shed so much blood and suffered so many injuries on the battlefield, but they have suffered so much over the years... Now Uncle Zhou is in poor health.
Thinking of this, her heart ached even more. She hugged her and said, "What are you talking about? Nianxue, you are not to blame for what happened in the past. Don't carry too heavy a psychological burden because of those things. Take good care of your body, and everything will be fine."
******
After Zhou Nianxue left, Yu Wan was heavy-hearted.
That night she told Gu Yilin that Su Ruo and Yuan Chengyang had been single, that his mother was a professor at Qingdao University, and that Yuan Chengyang also lived in the Qingdao University family compound.
There was no way she wouldn't mention such a big thing to her husband.
Gu Yilin frowned after hearing this.
Yu Wan said, "Yilin, should we tell Zecheng about this? Su Ruo has such a deep connection with the Yuan family, and Yuan Chengyang still has feelings for her, it will be difficult for them to get along for a long time without problems."
Yu Wan felt that since Yuan Chengyang and Su Ruo had been childhood sweethearts and he still had no partner, it was obvious that he could not forget Su Ruo.
When I think about how Su Ruo looks like...it's really hard to bear.
"Where did you hear such a thing?"
Gu Yilin said with a cold face.
A look of discomfort flashed across Yu Wan's face.
But she couldn't hide it from her husband if he asked her about it. In fact, she would have told him even if he didn't ask, but she just didn't feel comfortable saying it at the moment.
"It's Nian Xue."
She said, "Yilin, Nianxue came here today, and she told me about this. She also met Su Ruo."
Gu Yilin's expression changed again.
Yu Wan told Su Ruo and Zhou Nianxue somewhat awkwardly about how he had arranged a meeting between them, and also described the expressions on their faces after the conversation.
She sighed, "Su Ruo looked at me with a bad look when she left. She must be blaming me. Yilin, I also feel that I didn't do a good job in this matter and didn't think it through. But Nianxue, she is really too pitiful... I can't just ignore her."
Gu Yilin was so angry that his face turned blue.
He said coldly, "Take care of her. How are you going to take care of her? She chose to marry someone else back then. Now Ze Cheng has a wife and children. What else does she want to do? Do you want to take care of her to help her destroy Ze Cheng's marriage? Do you think Ze Cheng will still marry her?"
He almost blurted out "Do you think Zecheng is a rag collector?", but thinking that the Zhou girl was his wife's best friend, he swallowed it back.
People's hearts are always biased.
Although the four of them have known each other for many years.
But it was obvious that Gu Yilin favored Han Zecheng. Although he didn't say anything about what happened back then, he actually still hated Zhou Nianxue in his heart.
But Yu Wan felt more sympathy for Zhou Nianxue.
Yu Wan looked a little unhappy when she heard her husband say that.
She wanted to say that she didn't mean that, but under her husband's cold and sarcastic gaze, she couldn't say the denial with confidence.
Her face turned pale and blue, and after a while she said, "That's not what I meant, Yilin. I didn't mean to bother with her... I didn't want to ruin Zecheng's marriage. In fact, I also wanted Nianxue to meet Su Ruo so that she would give up and live a good life in the future... You don't know, alas."
She paused for a moment, then hesitated and said, "But Yilin, you said Zecheng is in the army, and it is very likely that he will be on a mission for several months or even years. A girl like Su Ruo, if she goes to college..."
"Shut up!"
Gu Yilin was really furious.
He and Yu Wan were childhood sweethearts, and their relationship had always been stable and harmonious. Yu Wan was gentle and docile, and always acted properly and steadily. On the contrary, he was more wild and did not play by the rules. They had been in love and married for so many years, and he had never said anything harsh to her, but this time he could not hold back for a moment.
He took a breath and said, "Ah Wan, if Su Ruo is Ze Cheng's wife, Ze Cheng knows best what kind of person she is. You have only known her for a few days, how can you know what kind of person she is?"
Here he paused again and sighed.
He was almost led astray.
What kind of person is Su Ruo? She is Ze Cheng's wife. What right does he have to say anything?
He doesn't even care what his father thinks of him.
He calmed down for a moment and said, "That is Ze Cheng's family affair. It has nothing to do with you, and even less with Zhou Nianxue."
Then he sneered and said, "You should let Zhou Nianxue give up this idea. No matter what happens to Zecheng and Su Ruo, she won't have any chance. And,"
He stared at his wife and said, "Ah Wan, don't be confused. You've made me too embarrassed to see Ze Cheng... Are you going to cut off our relationship because of this? No matter what happens in the future, Su Ruo is Ze Cheng's wife now. You took advantage of her trust in you to plot against her for the sake of your friend. How do you want her to feel? How do you want Ze Cheng to feel?"
"I'm telling you, don't think that Ze Cheng is an upright, responsible, and righteous person. Just because Zhou Nianxue is in such a miserable situation, he will feel pity for her because of Uncle Zhou, or even divorce Su Ruo and marry her. Don't even think about it."
"Is it because of Ze Cheng's attitude towards his mother that you still think that Su Ruo was arranged by his mother for him to marry her? You think that with Zhou Nianxue's current situation and Uncle Han's affection for Uncle Zhou, as long as he divorces Su Ruo and Uncle Han puts pressure on him, he will feel sorry for Zhou Nianxue and marry her, right?"
“It’s just a dream!”
