"Ruoruo."
Su Jianzhou called out to Su Ruo, his face full of confusion, disbelief and shock.
He never thought that his once well-behaved and sensible daughter would say such words to him.
In fact, ever since he learned that his daughter had returned, he had imagined what she looked like now and what her reaction might be when he met her.
Sadness, resentment, pain, anger, questioning.
There are all kinds.
Then he explained to her.
Maybe she wouldn't forgive him so quickly, but he was her father after all.
Having a decent father is better than having no father at all, whether emotionally or from a practical point of view, they can always start over...
But no matter how much he thought about it, he never expected to see his daughter like this in front of him.
More dazzling than before, more arrogant than before, with all the edges and corners exposed.
She chuckled and said words to him with a knife in his hand.
He looked at Su Ruo, who seemed to have aged a dozen years in an instant, and his spirit suddenly became hunched.
No, it was not only his daughter who hit him hard, but also her words that hit him hard.
Because no matter how the world changes, he really loves Aruo's mother Xia Lan.
What's more, Xia Lan died at the youngest and most beautiful time of her life, which made her the irreplaceable white moonlight in his mind.
What happened between him and Lin Wanhua was life. In addition to the mutual needs in life, there was also accommodation and compromise. In addition to the not-so-good daily necessities, there might also be some dirt that people were unwilling to face, but that's how life is. It's impossible for everything to go as planned.
But the love between him and Xia Lan is the most beautiful and inviolable love.
But now his daughter's words were telling him.
Before she died, Xia Lan was on guard against him, fearing that he would covet her things. She even left a letter and a list of her belongings to Shu Yuelan, hoping that when her daughter grew up and got married, she would come to him with the list to ask for the things.
I have to say, this was really a very serious blow to him.
A mental blow.
Because this broke something that was very precious to him and treasured deep in his heart.
He fell into a chair and was silent for a long time.
The others were probably also shocked, and the room, which had been noisy before, suddenly became quiet and stagnant.
In this stagnation, Su Jianzhou covered his face and finally said dejectedly and painfully, "Ruoruo, don't worry, I will give you the things your mother left for you."
At this time, he really didn't
He remembered that he once gave jewelry to Lin Wanhua.
After all, that was several years ago.
Moreover, the box of jewelry was actually only a small part of the things Xia Lan left behind. The gold bracelet and black pearl brooch given to Lin Wanhua were not particularly valuable in comparison.
The reason he took out the box of jewelry was, firstly, he was afraid that Lin Wanhua would become obsessed with those things and cause unrest in the family. Secondly, he was cowardly and, under the circumstances at the time, he was afraid that Lin Wanhua would say something to his eldest brother and eventually copy out all the other things in the house.
However, Su Jianzhou forgot, but Lin Wanhua could never forget.
Before, when she saw Su Jianzhou didn't say anything, she thought he was unwilling. She was also thinking about how to help him hide those things... What list? The things are in Su Jianzhou's hands. It has been more than 20 years. I wonder how many wealthy families have become penniless now? There are plenty of reasons to say something is gone!
So her face changed drastically when she heard Su Jianzhou's words.
He had clearly promised that part of it would be left for her, Jiajia and Azhen!
Moreover, when I was arranging for A Zhen's university recommendation and some other urgent needs for money, I had already secretly taken out some things!
She wanted to remind Su Jianzhou, but with so many people present, she couldn't say it.
Su Ruo ignored the various expressions of the crowd.
After hearing what Su Jianzhou said, she smiled and said, "In that case, let's just leave it at that for today. It happens that I'll be there next weekend, so let's wait until next week..."
But before she could finish her words, the door was pushed open with a creaky sound.
Accompanied by the sound of laughter and footsteps, an old man and a girl walked in.
Su Ruo heard the noise and looked towards the door.
But when he saw this, he stopped talking.
When everyone saw her suddenly stop talking in the middle of her words, they couldn't help but follow her gaze towards the door, and then they were all stunned.
Because no one expected to see someone who shouldn't be here at this time.
Sujia.
They had been having dinner together before, but Su Jia said that she had something else to do at work, and Su Ruo might not want to see her, so she decided not to come over.
Su Jia, who had just stepped into the door, had a frozen smile on her face and looked dazed.
Her father, her mother, Su Ruo, her brother, Uncle Yuan, Shu Yuelan...why are they all here?
She looked at everyone in the room.
Everyone in the room stared at her, and there was silence for a moment.
No, it's not completely silent.
Go back with Su Jia
Aunt Zhang's arrival was not affected at all by the gazes of the crowd or the atmosphere in the room.
She had already taken two steps inside, then looked at Su Ruo with a smile on her face and said, "Hey, Ruo Ruo, have all your guests arrived yet?"
After they became close, she called Su Ruo "A Ruo" or "Ruoruo", changing from "Xiao Su".
Su Ruo seemed to be stunned at first, but when she heard Aunt Zhang's question, she suddenly laughed, looked at Aunt Zhang, and said, "Yes, Aunt Zhang, you are back?"
Then he turned his gaze to Su Jia and said, "Auntie Zhang, why did you come back with this girl? Did you meet her outside just now and bring her in?"
"Alas, no,"
Aunt Zhang waved her hand and said cheerfully, "No, we made an appointment. You were going to get me food coupons, meat coupons, vegetable coupons, etc., but didn't I tell you that you don't need them today? Because this Miss Su Jia said before that she could get me some food coupons, meat coupons, and vegetable coupons. Well, I bought a lot of vegetables today, so why don't you all stay for dinner?"
Su Jia already felt something was wrong as Su Ruo and Zhang Ma were talking in unison.
Very bad.
Panic arose from the bottom of my heart and grew bigger and bigger.
She didn't care how abrupt her interruption was, she just stared at Su Ruo and said, "Su Ruo, why are you here?"
Su Ruo raised her eyebrows, looked at Su Jia with a half-smile, and said, "Why can't I be here? Aunt Zhang and Aunt He are both my mother's friends, what's wrong with me being here? On the contrary, you, Su Jia, I want to ask you, why are you here, and why are you giving Aunt Zhang money and food coupons, meat coupons, and vegetable coupons? How come I didn't know? When did you become so kind?"
Su Jia was stunned, and then in an instant she felt something heavy hit her head. She felt dizzy and leaned against the door frame, almost falling.
It turns out that Grandma He was a friend of Su Ruo's mother. That was why Su Ruo had the opportunity to buy the small Western-style house in her previous life and had always been on good terms with the He family!
Even if she gets ahead, she can't sever her connection with the He family!
What should I do then?
What now?
What if Grandma He knew that I was Su Ruo's stepsister, would she still be willing to sell this small villa to me?
No, a pearl brooch...
She immediately thought of another problem. That pearl brooch belonged to Su Ruo's mother!
Layer by layer, Su Jia felt that things were getting worse and worse.
As the panic in my heart grew, a new fear emerged.
Her mind was in a mess. Facing everyone's questioning or surprised looks at her, she didn't know where to start to deal with the current situation.
She tried desperately to calm herself down and sort out the current situation...
At this time, Su Jianzhou also looked at Su Jia, frowned and asked: "Jia Jia, why are you here? Didn't you say that you had something to do at work tonight? Also, what's going on with this money, food coupons, vegetable coupons, and meat coupons?"
He was stimulated by Su Ruo and is in a bad state now.
Seeing Su Jia suddenly appear, he felt something was wrong, so he asked according to Su Ruo's words.
In fact, this is also because he subconsciously wants to please his daughter.
Su Jia couldn't answer.
She hasn't figured out how to answer yet.
But before she could think it through, Aunt Zhang spoke first.
"This girl,"
She smiled and said, "Oh, it's like this, this Miss Su Jia wants to buy our house."
"Grandma!"
Su Jiagang was still trying to calm herself down, but Zhang Ma's words set her on fire again, and she screamed to stop him, "Grandma, that's a private matter between Grandma He and me..."
"Private matter?"
Aunt Zhang still had a smile on her face.
She said, "I have to tell Ruoruo about this."
She looked at Su Ruo and said, "Yesterday, this girl Su Jia came to us and told your Aunt He that she was a relative of the government officials who used to live here. She heard that your Aunt He had suffered in the past few years, so she felt sorry for us. She also heard that the government had returned the house to your Aunt He. She knew that your Aunt He was short of money, so she took some money and jewelry from her mother and came here, hoping to use those things as collateral to buy this small western-style building for 20,000 yuan."
"Here, the brooch in your hand is the deposit given by Miss Su Jia..."
Su Ruo said "Huh", stretched her hand slightly forward and looked at what was in her hand.
Everyone couldn't help but look at what she was holding.
Only then did I notice that the thing she had been holding and fiddling with since she entered the room was actually a brooch.
Su Jia's brain exploded with a bang, and she felt dizzy. It was as if all the blood in her body rushed to her brain and her head was about to split open, but her hands and feet were cold.
She looked at Aunt Zhang with empty eyes, who still had a smile on her face.
But now she saw more things on this face: ridicule, pity, arrogance, disdain and even shame...
Even if she couldn't react, she knew that she might have fallen into someone else's trap...
******
Su Ruoke would not pay any attention to Su Jia's abnormality.
She fiddled with the brooch in her hand, then took a few steps.
He went to the table, put the brooch on the table, and said, "Principal Su, does Principal Su recognize this black pearl brooch?"
Su Jianzhou already felt something was wrong when he heard Zhang Ma say that Su Jia used the money and jewelry her mother gave her to buy this small Western-style house.
No, it’s not bad, but after being stunned, I felt extremely shocked and angry.
Because he knew very well how his wife could have the money and jewelry to buy such a small Western-style house.
Where do they get the money from? Of course, it’s from their families!
When he saw the thing that Su Ruo pushed in front of him... he immediately remembered that he had once given this brooch to Lin Wanhua.
How could you not know what happened?
His face was blue and black, and he turned to look at his wife Lin Wanhua, who was already pale and panic-stricken, and Su Jia, who was holding on to the door frame, his face as white as a ghost, and was staggering.
Staring at them with murderous eyes.
Lin Wanhua actually stole his money and Xia Lan's jewelry to buy such a small Western-style house for her daughter!
He didn't even dare to think about it!
Seeing Su Jianzhou's livid face and glaring at Lin Wanhua fiercely, Su Ruo chuckled and said, "Principal Su, I think you should recognize this. This is my mother's thing, right?"
"Just now you told me that you would return all the things my mother left me. Can I ask what's the matter with this brooch?"
As he spoke, he sighed and said, "Ah, if Su Jia hadn't bought a house at Aunt He's place, if Aunt He wasn't my mother's friend and knew about this thing, who knows where my mother's jewelry would have ended up and become someone's property? Ah, but it's hard to say, who knows how much she had sold it for before..."
"You set me up!"
Su Jia trembled for a long time, and finally couldn't hold it anymore and broke down.
She pointed at Su Ruo and screamed, "Su Ruo, it was you who set this up. It was you who set this up to get me to buy this building, to get me to borrow money and jewelry from my mother... It was all you! Why are you so vicious..."
"Pa". Before she could finish her words, Su Ruo walked over and slapped her in the face.
Su Ruo withdrew her hand, sneered, and changed her previous gentle and calm demeanor, and scolded: "Psycho!"
"I led you here? How did I lead you here? Didn't you say that you heard about Aunt He from a relative who lived here before, and that you felt sorry for her, so you've been paying attention to this place?"
"Didn't you say that Aunt He's son He Zongxi saved you once a few years ago, so you always remembered it and even fell in love with her. Not long ago, when you heard that Aunt He was the mother of your savior, you knew that she was short of money, so you specially raised money to help her?"
"Oh, let me guess what you want to do?"
"Because you learned from your uncle that the policy has changed and the He family's property and real estate will be gradually returned to them. In the future, they will definitely be wealthy. But now it is an extraordinary period and the situation is difficult. So on the one hand, you want to take some money and buy this small western-style building first, and even calculate in your mind that Aunt He's son is still single, so you are still coveting to marry He Zongxi?"
"Otherwise, you just proposed to break up your engagement with Brother Cheng Yang, why did you come here to show your affection to Aunt Zhang and Aunt He, asking about He Zongxi's this and that?"
"You are slandering me!"
Su Jia was so angry that her whole body was shaking.
She was really crazy, driven crazy by Su Ruo.
The calculations in her mind were one thing, and it was certainly not shameful to keep them in her heart, and she even felt proud of it, but to have them cut open and exposed in front of everyone was definitely a devastating experience.
She couldn't stand it any longer, and rushed towards Su Ruo with a crazy look in her eyes, saying, "You are spitting blood on me, you bitch, how can there be someone as vicious as you in this world..."
Unfortunately, before she could pinch Su Ruo, Su Ruo pushed her and she staggered back several steps.
Then Aunt Zhang came forward, dragged her away and threw her to the ground.
Aunt Zhang works hard all year round and is very strong.
Su Jia was dragged and thrown to the ground with a "bang". After the severe pain, she couldn't get up for a long time. She just felt that the world was spinning.
Zhang Ma said, "How dare you say that our Miss Ruoruo is slandering me? Didn't you tell me how close you are to our Zong Xi, and asked me about Zong Xi's preferences, his current situation, and whether he likes someone? Do you think that I, Zhang Ma, am deaf or blind, and can't hear or see what you are up to?"
"Humph, I've been in the He family for so many years, and I don't know how many women like you who want to climb up the ladder and climb into the bed of the young master. With your little skill, you still dare to pretend in front of me."
Su Jia lay on the ground, wishing she could faint.
No, she didn't faint. She felt that all this must be just a nightmare. She wanted to go back to being eighteen years old as soon as she closed her eyes...
