Chapter 40: The Most Familiar Stranger
Five years ago, Su Yue had just entered college for two years. At that time, she was dedicated to studying, her grades were always among the best, and she was very famous in the whole university.
But the good times didn't last long, and at the beginning of that year, the Su family began to decline step by step. When the trend of decadence had become the overall situation, Su Mu Lu Qiulan began to use other means to return the Su family to its former glory.
Her first choice was Su Yue's life event.
Su Yue, who is in school, is frequently called back to Jiangnan City by Su's mother to meet Junjie from major families for dinner. Everyone understands the implication behind this, and Su Yue naturally knows it.
But yearning for knowledge and freedom, she understands that as long as she is the daughter of the Su family, she can't get rid of the fate of being at the mercy of the family.
couldn't resist, so she could only take tricks, so Su Yue chose Jiang Hao and signed a marriage contract with him.
Su Yue graduated from college and wanted to return to her family, but Jiang Hao was only a junior back then. Worried that he would be forced to contact the marriage contract when he returned to the family, Su Yue took Jiang Hao back to the house.
Since that year, Jiang Hao has watched Su Yue do all kinds of things under the arrangement of the family forces. Although she is the only daughter of the Su family, in a family that is about to fall, the value of the only daughter is given more practical significance.
Jiang Hao has been in the Su family for a few years, and it can be seen that Su Yue is very unhappy. She yearns for freedom and knowledge, for the open and boundless world, not for being a pampered rich lady in a small city.
Now, the situation has reversed, Jiang Hao has decided the situation alone, and the Su family's heaven has been changed from Lu Qiulan to Jiang Hao, so Su Yue no longer has to bear so many burdens.
What's more, most of the shares of the Su family were passed on to Su Yue by Su's father, and Jiang Haohua bought the shares of the Su family at a high price, which was actually a disguised exchange for Su Yue's shares for Bai Huahua's cash.
Without the mundane worries and a large amount of money, Su Yue's previous thoughts suddenly came to life. Studying abroad has become what she wants to do the most.
"Now that you've got you figured out, go ahead. Jiang Hao looked at Su Yue and took out a folder from his bag.
"What is this?" asked Su Yue.
"Your stuff. Jiang Hao said.
Su Yuehu glanced at Jiang Hao suspiciously, opened the folder, just glanced at it, and the expression on his face suddenly froze.
"You...... Why did you give this to me? You bought it. ”
Jiang Hao smiled lightly: "I bought the shares of the Su family just to prevent your mother from interfering with your freedom, as for the money, I don't care." ”
What is placed in the folder is the Su family's equity transfer certificate.
Su Yue smiled embarrassedly: "We don't have anything to do with it anymore, besides, you were injured for me, I can't ask for this share." As he spoke, he pushed the transfer letter in front of Jiang Hao.
Hearing Su Yue say that the two no longer have anything to do with each other, Jiang Hao felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
But he knew Su Yue's character, she was the kind of person who didn't want to owe others, so when she said this kind of thing, she didn't want to accept the Su family's shares anymore.
Jiang Hao didn't look at the transfer letter, but stared at Su Yue's eyes and said, "You accept it, I can promise you a condition." ”
Su Yue shook her head: "I have no conditions to mention." ”
Jiang Hao shook his fingers and said, "You have." ”
Su Yue was stunned: "What?"
Jiang Hao smiled and said, "I know what school you want to go to, I can help you." ”
When Su Yue heard this, there was immediately a little more tenderness between her eyebrows. She naturally knew that there was a reason why Jiang Hao was so good to her, and he still had some feelings for her.
But she can't, even if she realizes that Jiang Hao is different from other men, she can't put all her feelings into Jiang Hao.
Jiang Hao, I'm sorry. Su Yue thought so.
Faced with Jiang Hao's conditions, she still chose to refuse, "I can't accept it." I'm going to have to fight for those things on my own. ”
Jiang Hao's expression did not change, obviously he already knew that she would have such an answer.
"You signed it. Jiang Hao said.
"Nope. Su Yue's attitude was very resolute.
"Okay. Jiang Hao could see that Su Yue was determined to refuse, "But if there are any difficulties and problems, you must find me." ”
Su Yue nodded with a smile: "You better take care of yourself." How are you and your girlfriend?"
"Girlfriend?" Jiang Hao was stunned, when did he have a girlfriend.
Seeing Jiang Hao's stunned face, Su Yue prompted: "It's the girl who visited you during your illness, she is so beautiful." ”
Jiang Hao touched his head: "You mean Zhong Qingli, didn't I say it, she was my playmate when I was a child." ”
Su Yue showed an expression of disbelief: "Will playmates live together?"
"You know all this?" Jiang Hao was surprised. However, realizing that this reaction could easily make people think that it was true, he quickly regained his expression.
But Su Yue saw all this expression in her eyes, and said with a smile: "I listened to what my sister said." She visited your villa. ”
Li Xiaoyao did go to Jiang Hao's house, but Jiang Hao didn't expect that the relationship between Su Yue and Li Xiaoyao had reached the level of sisters.
Jiang Hao hurriedly explained: "It's not what you think, she just doesn't have a place to live." ”
Su Yue didn't believe it much, she smiled and didn't speak.
"That's really the case. Jiang Hao wanted to cry without tears.
Su Yue stood up: "It's okay, then I'll leave in this case." ”
Jiang Hao also got up: "This is leaving?"
"Well, tonight's plane, no matter how late it is, you won't be able to catch it. ”
Jiang Hao looked at Su Yue's face, and suddenly remembered a word. That's the "familiar stranger".
They know each other very well, they have known each other since they were in college, and up to now, they have known each other for five years. But at the same time, they are strangers, so strange that even if they are standing face to face now, they still sometimes don't know each other's faces.
Jiang Hao's gaze was like an invisible hand, falling at Su Yue's eyebrows, all the way down, climbing over her amber crystal eyes, small and tall nose, and shiny, slightly upturned lips, and finally stopped at the neck that was always proud like a swan.
"Why are you looking at me like this?" Su Yue's face flushed slightly.
"You're so good-looking. Jiang Hao said.
"I'm leaving. Su Yue smiled and picked up her bag.
Jiang Hao felt a little lost in his heart.
During the days when he was lying in the hospital, as long as Zhong Qingli was not there, Su Yue always accompanied him. At that time, she behaved very naturally and transparently, unlike now, as if her smile was scruples.
"Then I won't send you, have a nice trip. Jiang Hao said.
"Hmm. Su Yue glanced at Jiang Hao with some nostalgia, but then restrained the emotion in her eyes, turned her head very resolutely, and left.
Jiang Hao sighed, sat down again, looked at the equity transfer book on the table, and felt empty in his heart.
"Sir, do you need to settle the bill?" a waiter walked over nonchalantly.
Jiang Hao didn't raise his head: "Not for the time being." ”
"But if you don't check out, you're going to have to refill your coffee, you can't just sit here. The waiter said.
Jiang Hao realized that the waiter was referring to something else, raised his head, and saw that she was looking at himself and smiling. But the smile was fake, even a little sarcastic.
Jiang Hao hated being disturbed by others, so he tapped the table with his right index finger and said coldly, "That's how your store does business?"
The waiter's face stiffened for a moment, then slowly retracted his smile, looked at Jiang Hao, and said with no one in his eyes: "Sir, if you are so unreasonable, we will forcibly ask you to go out, please see what kind of place this is." ”
Where is it?Jiang Hao looked around.
The decoration here is exquisite, the environment is elegant, and the dishes are also expensive, which is not something that ordinary people can consume.
Sitting here, either dressed in beautiful clothes or painted with elaborate makeup, everyone consciously or unconsciously caters to the style of this coffee shop, in order to reflect their own tastes.
Before, Jiang Hao and Su Yue sat here, just like an ordinary person with a swollen face and a fat man inviting the goddess to dinner, but now that the goddess is gone, Jiang Hao is sitting here alone, and the waiter feels that there is nothing to serve.
She even felt that Jiang Hao would beg her to give him a discount with a shy face.
The waiter's voice was very high, and for a moment, everyone looked at Jiang Hao.
"Sir, do you want to pay for it?" the waiter reminded again.
