Su Ruo was stunned and confused for a moment.
These things sounded as unreal as her memories.
Han Zecheng said, "It's just that those things are confidential files and cannot be disclosed to the public. If South City doesn't tell the street, it's impossible for them to know, and even the city government can't find out. As for you, your father, and your stepmother, when I found out about these things, they had already severed ties with you. At that time, firstly, some things could not be leaked, and secondly, I didn't want to cause trouble, and I didn't want you to reconcile with them, so I kept all these things under wraps."
Of course, he has selfish motives behind this.
He didn't want her to go back to South City, and he didn't want her to have any more entanglement with Yuan Chengyang.
Su Ruo was silent for a long time.
She originally wanted to ask him if there was any hidden reason why her father broke off relations with her.
But I didn't expect to hear something else first, something unexpected.
She took a deep breath and asked him again, "Actually, I've been feeling a little strange thinking about the past. Because my mother died early, no one around me has ever told me about her... Aunt He said that my grandfather's family is from Qingcheng, and my mother married in Nancheng. They probably don't know her background. They only know that she is a female student from the provincial capital, and no one knows what kind of capitalist my grandfather is."
"After all, that was all before the liberation. I don't even have any memory of it. But when I woke up and looked at my notebook, so many things happened in those few days. I couldn't go to college, and then Su Jia took my place to go to college..."
It's hard not to make people feel weird.
What's more, she was not afraid to speculate about Lin Wanhua and Su Jia with malicious intent.
"Su Jia's uncle Lin Zhihe was an active participant in various movements in South City at that time,"
Han Zecheng said, "The report on your grandfather's case may have something to do with him."
No wonder, no wonder her admission to university was revoked within just a few days.
Immediately afterwards, the spot fell to Su Jia... Can the spot recommended by a university be transferred at will?
It was clearly planned long ago.
No matter how good Su Ruo's self-regulation ability was, he was still furious when he first confirmed this.
She would rather throw her things away and step on them than give them to Su Jia.
Su Ruo was furious, but she didn't expect Han Zecheng to say something immediately afterwards, "Su Jia went to college, and not long after we got married, she got engaged to Yuan Chengyang, and the wedding date is in two months... Sorry, I just found out about this not long ago."
It was only after he knew that Shu Yuelan was a professor at the School of Architecture and Art of Qingdao University that he asked someone to investigate.
Su Ruo:......! ! !
"What tricks did she play again?"
At this time, she didn't care about Han Zecheng being jealous, and asked angrily, "What means did she use to make Brother Cheng Yang arrange a marriage with her? Did her uncle do something behind her, or did she use despicable methods to force Brother Cheng Yang to be responsible for her?"
After saying that, I realized that I had actually called him "Brother Cheng Yang"...
For a moment, I was angry with Su Jia, but at the same time, I felt a little scared...
There is no sound from that end.
Su Ruo's scalp tingled, and she whispered, "Brother Han, I don't have anything against Yuan Chengyang now, but no matter what, he..."
"You guessed it right,"
Han Zecheng interrupted her and said, "Yuan Chengyang behaved badly towards her after he fell ill. He was bumped into by Shu Yuelan and Lin Wanhua who pushed the door open. Lin Wanhua's eldest brother was jumping up and down at that time. If Yuan Chengyang didn't take responsibility for her and got engaged to her, the family would definitely be in a worse situation. Not only would he be labeled as a -, he would also most likely be convicted of hooliganism."
At that time, hooliganism was a very serious crime and one could be shot for just peeping at lesbians using the toilet.
Su Ruo was so angry that her hands were shaking.
She was even angrier than when she found out that she had been reported and her university spot was taken away by Lin Wanhua and her daughter through trickery.
After all, she has been admitted to university, but if Yuan Chengyang marries this woman, his life will be ruined.
She said, "Brother Cheng Yang must not marry her."
Han Zecheng said: "Their marriage will not be successful."
If she goes back, many things will be revealed and their marriage will definitely not be possible.
He asked, "Will you let me come over today?"
Su Ruo was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly said: "No, no, I'm fine... I'm just very angry. Guoguo is at home, he can't run back and forth. Besides, today is Wednesday, and it will be the weekend in two days. You can bring Guoguo over on the weekend."
If it were Han Zecheng himself, he would definitely drive there at night.
But Su Ruo was right. It was impossible to let Guoguo run back and forth like this.
Su Ruo hung up the phone.
Han Zecheng stood there for a while, then went to the study to play with his son on the battlefield model.
However, two hours later, when his son fell asleep, he smoked several cigarettes in a row in the study.
Now he didn't doubt her, he just hated it.
******
Let’s talk about Shu Yuelan again.
Su Ruo's meeting with Shu Yuelan led to a conversation with Han Zecheng.
Shu Yuelan was even more upset because of what Su Ruo said when she left.
Su Ruo said that it was not her who took the initiative to sever ties with her family.
It was Lin Wanhua who wrote to her, saying that her father had cut off ties with her and did not allow her to contact her family anymore.
Many of the things they had believed before would be overturned.
For example, the cancellation of Aruo's marriage with her son was most likely just the Su family's idea, not Aruo's.
Shu Yuelan could imagine that, as a little girl, Su Jia replaced her in college, she was forced to go to the countryside, and then her family completely abandoned her, and her fiancé also "abandoned" her.
Shu Yuelan felt suffocated when she thought about this.
Of course she wouldn't blame Su Jianzhou for lying to them.
At that time, something happened in the family and my father-in-law passed away, so Su Jianzhou must have been considering them.
She just felt sorry for Su Ruo.
I was also worried that once this matter came to light, my son would get to know about it and I didn’t know what kind of uproar it would cause.
There is a fundamental difference between Su Ruo breaking off the engagement and getting married first and the Yuan family listening to Su Jianzhou and giving up on Su Ruo... because those were the words Su Jianzhou said himself back then, and they knew that Su Jianzhou valued Su Ruo very much. How could they have thought that Su Jianzhou would be so cruel to Su Ruo?
Shu Yuelan returned home with a heavy heart.
It was already dark, and the lights were off in the house, so it was dim and quiet.
Her husband Yuan Bocheng was very busy at work and didn't come home so early. Only some light came through the closed door of her son's room. He must be reading a book with the light on.
Shu Yuelan frowned.
She remembered that Su Jia said she would come over for dinner today.
In the past she would come very early.
Shu Yuelan doesn't like Su Jia very much.
But I have to admit that she is a very capable girl.
Her son was very depressed at that time. She accepted the fact that Su Jia was with her son because she didn't want anything to happen to him...but this might also be a mistake.
She walked to the door of Yuan Chengyang's room, knocked, and called "Chengyang".
A low voice "Come in" came from inside.
When Shu Yuelan opened the door, she saw her son sitting at the desk, drawing something.
She said, "Didn't Su Jia say she would come today? Why isn't she here?"
"Oh, she called and said she won't be coming today."
Yuan Chengyang said coldly.
Shu Yuelan frowned and said, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
As far as she could remember, there had never been a time when Su Jia said she would come but didn't show up.
Yuan Chengyang put down the book in his hand and said coldly: "It seems that you are not feeling well, Mom, I will go and help you cook."
Obviously he didn't want to talk about Su Jia.
As he spoke, he stood up, walked over, took the dishes from his mother, and went out.
Shu Yuelan looked at his back and opened her mouth, wanting to call him but paused.
She wanted to tell him not to cook yet because she had something to tell him.
She wanted to tell him that Su Ruo was back.
She must have a good talk with him about this.
Su Ruo will study at Qingdao University in the future, and her son will live in Qingdao University, so they will see each other sooner or later.
So she had to tell her son about this before he learned about it from somewhere else, or directly before Qingda bumped into her, so that he could adjust his mentality and face this matter correctly, and at least treat Aruo as usual.
But she just couldn't say it when she saw her son's back as he went to the kitchen.
She remembers that her son couldn't cook when he was a teenager.
Su Ruo doesn't know either.
Su Ruo is very spoiled. She just doesn't like to cook. She doesn't do anything except her own things. Whenever Lin Wanhua asks her to do something, she goes to complain to Su Jianzhou and asks her father if she will be the nanny of the family in the future and will have to serve Lin Wanhua, Su Jia and Su Zhen...
Lin Wanhua valued her reputation and did not dare to embarrass the girl.
So when her son didn't like to do housework, she laughed at him and said, "Look, Ruoruo doesn't like to do housework and doesn't like to cook. Then if you get married in the future, how will you take care of Ruoruo? Who will cook and do housework at home? You don't know how to do it. Wouldn't it be a mess?"
After that, my son started learning to do housework and cook.
Sometimes when Su Ruo came over and they were not at home, they would cook for Su Ruo, starting with noodles and fried rice, and later they could even make many other dishes that were better than hers.
When Shu Yuelan thought of these old things, her heart still felt like it was stabbed by something. Her eyes were sore and tears almost rolled out.
******
Shu Yuelan is a decisive person.
Although she felt sad, she also knew that there would probably be many follow-up questions after she finished talking to her son.
But I believe that this is unavoidable and there is no point in escaping.
But during dinner, she thought about it and decided to discuss it with her husband Yuan Bocheng first.
Yuan Bocheng was against telling this to his son.
He said, "Yue Lan, you know his thoughts and personality. If he knew that Su Ruo was back, how could he marry Su Jia? This matter must be kept secret until they are married."
Shu Yuelan's face was not good. She said coldly: "Su Jianzhou told us that A Ruo was afraid of bringing trouble to them and us, so she took the initiative to draw a line with them and broke off the engagement with Cheng Yang. But in fact, he was afraid that Su Ruo would bring trouble to them, so he abandoned Su Ruo, let Su Ruo go to the countryside, and gave the university quota to Su Jia... Old Yuan, you know how deep Su Jianzhou's feelings for Xia Lan are. If Lin Wanhua and her daughter didn't have the hand of this matter, I won't believe it even if you kill me."
Yuan Bocheng also looked a little unhappy.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Yuelan, that's Jianzhou's family affair."
"But this matter has already spread to our family!"
Shu Yuelan said, "Let's not talk about whether A Ruo is Cheng Yang's fiancée. If what happened to Su Ruo was the work of Lin Wanhua and her daughter, how could Cheng Yang marry a woman with such a character? And I have always been suspicious of Cheng Yang's flirting with her. What could Cheng Yang do when he was sick? He was very well behaved to A Ruo before. How could he strip her clothes for no reason? And Lin Wanhua and I saw it on the spot?"
She did have her doubts.
But due to the circumstances at the time, I had to agree to the marriage.
Afterwards, I had to explain Su Jia's situation to Yuan Chengyang and ask him to take responsibility, for fear that he would be stubborn and refuse to admit it!
She must be so angry about this!
So although she agreed to the engagement, she later used some tricks to help her son delay the marriage.
Yuan Bocheng sighed and said, "Yuelan, why do you care so much? You have seen over the years that Su Jia is devoted to Cheng Yang. If it weren't for her uncle, our family wouldn't be so well off... Besides, can you just cancel this engagement whenever you want?"
After all, I'm still worried about the consequences of breaking off the engagement.
Shu Yuelan said coldly: "I know what you mean. But can't you see? Now the national policy has begun to change. Hasn't the college entrance examination been restored? Haven't I been transferred to Qingdao University? I believe that things will only get better in the future."
"But if he really marries a woman with bad character, it will ruin Cheng Yang's life. I will not sacrifice my son's life for fear of revenge from a villain. So not only do I have to tell Cheng Yang about Su Ruo's return, but I will also find Su Jianzhou about his marriage with Su Jia and get things straightened out first."
Yuan Bocheng's face turned a little pale.
He said: "Yuelan, the situation has just improved. How can our family withstand the wind and rain?"
Shu Yuelan sneered and said, "You don't have to worry. Let's wait until Aruo's matter is cleared up before we talk about this matter. Let's see if Aruo is willing to give up."
She understood Su Ruo's personality.
She looks well-behaved, but she is actually very tough. If she knew that there was something fishy going on between Lin Wanhua and her daughter, she would definitely not let it go.
Yuan Bocheng wanted to stop her and tell her that there was no need to tell his son about Su Ruo's return. Did he still want his son to be entangled with Su Ruo?
She is already married!
But looking at his wife's straight back, he couldn't say those words anymore.
He knew in his heart that his wife would not give up her principles on major issues of right and wrong.
******
When Shu Yuelan entered Yuan Chengyang's room, Yuan Chengyang was drawing a picture with a charcoal pencil. When he saw his mother, he glanced at her and continued his work. But while drawing, he said, "Mom, is there something wrong? You seem to be hesitant to speak tonight."
"Cheng Yang, Aruo is back."
With a "click", the charcoal pencil in Yuan Chengyang's hand was broken.
Yuan Chengyang looked at the broken charcoal pencil for a while. When he was no longer dizzy, he held the remaining half of the charcoal pencil, stood up and looked at his mother, saying, "What did you say? Mom, who did you say is back?"
"Aruo."
Shu Yuelan's heart skipped a beat when she saw her son's reaction, but she still took a deep breath and said, "Cheng Yang, Aruo is back. The country resumed the college entrance examination this year, and she was admitted to Qingdao University."
Yuan Chengyang just looked at his mother like that.
His eyes seemed dazed at first, but slowly brightened up, emitting a strange glow.
But that brilliance frightened Shu Yuelan.
She looked at her son and said, "Cheng Yang, Aruo is indeed back. But Cheng Yang has already started a family. She has a very good and stable relationship with her lover, and she already has a four-year-old son."
Seeing her son's face suddenly turn pale, Shu Yuelan felt very upset and said, "Her lover is a soldier. You know how serious a crime it is to destroy a military marriage. It is not only morally unacceptable, but also legally unacceptable."
"Cheng Yang, it's been five years. You have to let this go. Don't see Aruo until you are ready to treat her as your own sister. This will be the best for both you and Aruo."
******
Su Jia went to work in a daze the next day, and went to her uncle Lin Zhihe's house on time when she got off work.
In fact, Su Jia and her uncle Lin Zhihe have not been very close in recent years.
After all, she was reborn, and she knew that the situation of her uncle's family was not very good later.
She would often advise her uncle to take care of those criticized intellectuals... So many people have benefited from Su Jia, and her reputation is also very good.
For her, this would not only ensure that she would not be implicated by her uncle in the future, but also help her build up her network. Why not do it?
But now she can't care about that much.
She went to Lin Zhihe's house.
Lin Zhihe's house is very big, it was bought back.
Su Jia knew that she would have to return the house in the future, and she had tactfully advised her uncle not to live in the house, but Lin Zhihe sneered at her words, saying that she was cruel to her stepsister, but was afraid of this and that about living in this house that was allocated to them in a formal manner, which really made people at a loss as to what to say.
Su Jia was hurt and never tried to persuade Lin Zhihe again.
When she arrived at Lin Zhihe's house, Lin Zhihe's family was having dinner. When her aunt saw her, she called her and asked her to eat with them.
How could Su Jia have the heart to eat?
He took two bites which tasted like chewing wax, and as soon as Lin Zhihe finished eating, he begged him and said he had something to say to him.
The two went to Lin Zhihe's study.
Seeing her lost soul, Lin Zhihe asked, "Jia Jia, what's wrong with you?"
Su Jia looked up at his uncle and said, "Uncle, I saw Su Ruo on the Qingdao University campus yesterday. I called someone I know at the Qingdao University School of Architecture and Art, and they told me that Su Ruo took the college entrance examination and was admitted to their school. Uncle, can you help me check what's going on?"
After hearing this, Lin Zhihe was stunned at first, then frowned and remained silent for a long time. No one knew what he was thinking.
"uncle?"
Su Jia urged.
"Jia Jia,"
Lin Zhihe seemed to react only after Su Jia urged him.
He walked to the sofa chair in front of the window and sat down, touching the cushion. He seemed to think for a while before speaking, "Jia Jia, since she's back, then she's back. You don't have to worry about what happened back then. We didn't do anything over there. It was the people on the farm who saw her beauty and couldn't help but have evil thoughts. You just need to stay calm. You have nothing to do with it."
"Since she passed the exam, this is an inevitable fact. You should find a way to make peace with her and keep her stable. Don't let her affect the relationship between your father and your mother."
"uncle?"
Su Jia said in disbelief.
Seeing the colorful expression on her face, Lin Zhihe sighed and said, "In fact, I have never quite understood what happened back then. She was just a little girl, and your father treated you well over the years. You reported her and got her a place in college, so that's fine. Why did you have to kill her?"
Lin Zhihe is also a human being. Although he has done a lot of bad things, to be honest, he still has some sympathy for someone who could do such a cruel thing to a little girl like that.
We used to visit each other as relatives.
After saying that, he seemed to remember something and said, "It's your fiancé, Yuan Chengyang, right? Apart from being good-looking, he is also the poorest of the family. What's so good about him? You are good-looking, and your uncle has many better ones to introduce to you..."
Can you introduce me to a man who is now prosperous but returns to his old ways in two years, living in poverty all his life, with bad habits, and who can't even afford to treat his sick child?
Su Jia got angry when she thought about this.
