When Su Ruo thought of this, a strange feeling flashed through her mind.
Because she had too many things on her mind before, she didn't think carefully about Su Jia's affairs, but now thinking back, she realized that her behavior was really strange.
Su Jia's uncle is the director of the Revolutionary Committee and knows a lot of people, some of whom are powerful and seem to be in a good position. But if she didn't really like Yuan Chengyang, why did she insist on holding on to Yuan Chengyang and even do such a vicious thing? Could it be that she just wanted to steal her things?
And why does she like He Zongxi now?
She had never even met him... She didn't believe her nonsense that He Zongxi had helped her a few years ago and she had always remembered it...
Is it really because she knew from her uncle that the national policy has changed and the government will gradually return all the properties and assets to the He family?
It sounds reasonable, but Su Ruo still feels like there's something odd.
Su Ruo was a little confused.
Shu Yuelan on the opposite side, who had been focusing on the project, was drawn back to reality when she heard her question, and her face darkened accordingly.
Thinking of this, she really hated Su Jia.
Her father-in-law taught and educated people, and his life was full of merit.
He used to be the principal of Nancheng Technical School, but he has been retired for several years and has been living with them in the provincial capital. Here, except for some old acquaintances and students, not many people know him.
How could he suddenly be subjected to big-character posters without any warning and even beaten to death?
She felt that this matter was very strange back then, and could only secretly suspect that her family had offended someone. Now, after listening to Han Zecheng's words, she realized that all this was actually a vicious trick used by Su Jia in order to get Cheng Yang.
When Su Ruo was deprived of her university place and forced to go to the countryside, they had her father-in-law beaten up and her family was constantly harassed. This made it impossible for Cheng Yang to leave home and go to find Su Ruo... Otherwise, with Cheng Yang's feelings for Su Ruo, he would probably have chosen to go to the countryside with Su Ruo...
But these things in the past have already happened, and there is no point in thinking about them.
She calmed herself down and said to Su Ruo, "Well, he already knows. Ruo Ruo, you don't have to worry too much about him. We all have to move forward, and everyone has to move forward. He is a man and must get through these difficulties on his own."
Su Ruo's eyes felt sore and she didn't know what to say for a moment.
She took a breath, walked up to her, hugged Shu Yuelan, and said, "Aunt Shu, thank you."
Seeing the ugly appearance of Lin Wanhua and Su Jia, they were willing to kill the elders who had watched her grow up since she was a child just for a little desire, and they were beaten to death...Su Ruo thought back to her growth and how she was able to live well until now and become who she is now. She didn't know whether she was lucky, had a good life or was a miracle.
But whether it was luck, good fortune or a miracle, Aunt Shu has been a very important person in her life over the past decade.
It is not an exaggeration to say that she actually plays the role of a mother.
Even with her father's personality, the fact that he still valued Lin Wanhua despite her long-term support was probably related to the fact that the Yuan family and Aunt Shu valued him... She really couldn't trust her father at all now.
She choked up a little and said, "Thank you for taking care of me and teaching me all the time, and for not taking your anger out on me even after so many things happened."
Shu Yuelan was stunned, and then her eyes became moist. She patted her gently and said, "What are you talking about, kid? You've suffered so much. You didn't blame Aunt Shu and Cheng Yang for what happened back then, which is already a big heart of yours. How could Aunt Shu vent her anger on you? Aunt Shu is very happy that you are like this now. Don't worry, your brother Cheng Yang will also get over this hurdle."

Su Ruo's eyes were still red when she left Shu Yuelan's office.
Shu Yuelan gave her a stack of photocopies of manuscripts, which were the records of the current state of the buildings, some preliminary protection and restoration plans, the urgency of restoration and the preliminary budget after Shu Yuelan inspected the important ancient buildings throughout the province when she was on a long business trip last time.
She asked Su Ruo to take these back and sort them out, making a table, and also go to the library to look up information to fill in the historical value and past repair records of each ancient building.
This is preliminary work for a large project for the government.
There is a certain amount of project funding.
Su Ruo thought of Zhao Xiuli's situation, so she asked Shu Yuelan, "Aunt Shu, can I ask one of my roommates to help? You have so much work to do, and it would lighten your burden if you have more helpers. If she doesn't do a good job, I won't ask her next time. If she does a good job, then we'll have an extra worker in the future."
Shu Yuelan smiled and said, "You're the only one who wants to be lazy."
Su Ruo smiled and did not argue.
With so much work to do, it's understandable that you want to be lazy.
Shu Yuelan naturally agreed.
This is a good suggestion both from the perspective of cultivating talents and sharing the work with yourself.
It's just that she was too busy and had no time to find capable students among the freshmen. When she saw Su Ruo, she just grabbed her and used her.
It would be great if Su Ruo could help her take care of it now.
So when leaving, Su Ruo went downstairs carrying a thick stack of information.
Because I was holding something, I had to look at my feet and be extra careful when going down the stairs.
So she didn't pay much attention when she heard someone coming upstairs downstairs.
Until the man's footsteps reached this section of stairs and then disappeared.
She saw his shoes standing at the corner in front for a long time, and thought that this person might be standing there on purpose, so she politely waited for him to pass by first. She walked down to the bottom, and when she was one step in front of him, she slowed down her pace a little, raised her head slightly, and wanted to say thank you to him...
But as soon as he raised his head, the word "thank you" was suddenly stopped before he could say it.
My hands almost went limp and I dropped the documents in my hands.
Fortunately, she was smart and took them all back.
But in the end, he showed panic.
Yuan Chengyang.
Su Ruo thought of many scenes of seeing him again.
The attitude you should have when facing him.
But it definitely doesn't include the situation now.
There was no one in the narrow and dim stairwell. It was only when I walked up to him that I realized we had bumped into each other.
"Give it to me."
Yuan Chengyang just stood there and looked at her. After a while, he reached out and said.
Su Ruo took a deep breath.
She looked down at the documents in her hand, forced a smile and said, "No, it's not very heavy. Brother Cheng Yang, I can take it myself... Are you here to see Aunt Shu? She is in her office, I just came out of her office..."
"Bring it here and I'll take you down."
He interrupted her.
After saying this, he twitched the corners of his mouth, but there was no smile at all.
He saw a trace of confusion in Su Ruo's eyes, and suddenly a surge of anger rose in his heart. He said word by word, "Ruoruo, we should talk."
"Do you want us to pretend that nothing happened in the past, that you were never my fiancée, that we were never very close, and that we were just ordinary neighbors or acquaintances. When we call, we just say, 'Hello, is Aunt Shu home? Can you call her for me?' Or when we meet, we just nod politely, say hello, and then pass by each other?"
He took a breath, paused, looked at the sadness in her eyes, and then slowly said, "Or Ruoruo, are you actually blaming me? Blaming me for not looking for you earlier?"
He had been controlling his emotions.
These days he has been
I am adjusting myself and trying to face all this rationally.
He had already lost her.
No matter how reluctant he was to face this reality, he still had to force himself to accept it.
But he suddenly looked at her coming down from above.
Just like countless times before, he looked at the stairs carefully while holding something.
The hair slid down, even the posture of holding things, the subtle movements of the little fingers slightly raised were exactly the same...
He watched her walk towards him step by step.
When he saw that her eyes were still as flustered as before when she first saw him, he couldn't help it.
As he spoke, one word after another, in the end all his suppressed emotions came up at once.
He took a step back, closed his eyes, held his breath and exhaled lightly before he controlled himself and didn't do anything.
Su Ruo gritted her teeth.
She had to hold back her tears... She was not usually so sentimental, but she had just come out of Aunt Shu's place and her emotions were still not recovered... The more grateful she was to Aunt Shu, the more guilty she felt about Grandpa Yuan's affairs, and the more guilty she felt when facing Yuan Chengyang.
Intellectually, she felt that she had done nothing wrong to him.
But still definitely guilty.
She pushed the documents in her hand over and said, "Come on down, let's go down and take a walk."
The two grew up together.
She certainly understood his emotions.
She didn't want to anger him in this narrow staircase, nor did she want to break something...it would be impossible to put it back together.
Although it would have been impossible for them to go back to the way they were.

Li Yu and Han Qinqin walked towards the cafeteria together.
Li Yu, like Han Qinqin, was a college student who was recommended to the school last year. They were roommates and had a good relationship because they both had good family backgrounds.
She was walking forward while talking to Han Qinqin. When she turned around, she saw Su Ruo and Yuan Chengyang walking on the road diagonally opposite. She was stunned and stopped in her tracks.
"What's wrong?"
Han Qinqin saw her stop and asked her.
"Hey, isn't that Su Ruo, the top student in our academy who just got in this year? She's the one who's very popular right now."
Li Yu motioned her to look at Su Ruo and Yuan Chengyang, and said, "Hey, who is that person next to her? I heard that she is married, so that person is not her lover, right?"
Han Qinqin followed her gaze, and her expression changed when her eyes fell on Su Ruo and Yuan Chengyang.
She looked unhappy, gritted her teeth and said, "We are just walking together, what's the point of loving each other? We may just be ordinary friends or classmates. What are you talking about? If you spread the wrong thing, it will ruin their reputation."
"Oh,"
Li Yu chuckled and said, "How could they be just ordinary friends? Look at the distance between the two of them, the tacit understanding when they were talking, and the way the man looked at Su Ruo. If it wasn't love, then something serious would have happened. However,"
Her eyes flickered and she said, "You're right. I remember now. It seems that Su Ruo's lover is a soldier in the army, far away from our school. How could he be in school at this time? Look at this man's temperament and appearance. His skin is white, whiter than many lesbians. He is definitely not a soldier."
Han Qinqin frowned, feeling annoyed, and interrupted her, "You see too much, but I see that the two of them are still one step away from each other. It's not what you say. Don't you usually go out with people and be much closer than this? And no one says anything about you."
She doesn't like Su Ruo.
Even jealous of her.
I don't like Han Zecheng either.
Even hate him.
But no matter how much she disliked him, how much she was jealous of him, or how much she hated him, it was a fact that Han Zecheng was her father's son, and it was also a fact that Su Ruo was now Han Zecheng's wife. If Su Ruo hadn't divorced her eldest brother, her reputation would have been ruined, and it would have had a bad impact on her family.
Her mother lectures her every day, so she knows this.
