Chapter 3: The Strange Tablemate 1
"Dididi-Didi-"
"Smack!"
Su Jiu "pressed" the alarm clock and got up to wash up in a daze.
He took off his pajamas, changed into a school uniform, and grabbed two handfuls of hair at random.
"I'm out of the house."
She looked at the empty living room and closed the door.
"This mission, complete the original owner Gu Jiu's wish......
*
It's a new world again.
This time, the host is named Gu Jiu, the daughter of a single-parent family.
When the original owner was young, her parents would often quarrel over trivial matters.
And the reason for every quarrel is inexplicable.
But maybe it was because he still took care of his daughter's face, although the husband and wife were not in harmony, they did not tear their faces after all.
Until a later time, the two of them had a violent quarrel, and the porcelain in the house was shattered, and even injured the original owner......
The original owner's father finally seems to be unable to endure this life anymore, and he confesses to the original owner's mother that he has raised another woman outside.
He disliked the mother of the original owner, after giving birth to a child, she did not have the charm when the two were in love, and it happened that a young and beautiful subordinate appeared next to him at the right time.
The two of them drank too much wine because of a party, so they slept together in a daze.
Since then, the woman has become the "red face" of the original owner's father, and has been living in an apartment under his name.
The father, who was still taking care of his daughter, finally couldn't bear it anymore under the sleepless quarrels again and again.
He bluntly said that he would give them a large amount of alimony for the mother and daughter, and would arrange a new house for them to live in.
As long as they are willing to leave.
Knowing the truth of the matter, the mother naturally would not force her to stay, and this strong woman did not hesitate to sign the divorce agreement, and then moved into the house arranged for them by the original owner's father with the original owner.
Maybe...... Now it's time to call him the former father of the original owner.
The former father of the original owner gave them a total of 500,000 yuan in alimony, and since then he has cut off contact with them.
As if they were afraid that they would be dissatisfied, and would turn back to him and ask him for money. It didn't take long for the ex-father to move to another place, taking his "red face" with him.
Even the mobile phone card that I had been using was changed, and it became an empty number that no one answered.
But this did not affect the lives of the original owner, mother and daughter.
The original owner's mother, who left the scumbag, did not sink because of this, but quickly cheered up.
She took out part of the alimony given by the scumbag and used it to invest, buy shares, start a business, and work hard all the way.
The mother of the original owner was a high-achieving student who graduated from a prestigious school, and she was involved in financial management.
So she used the money to invest in entrepreneurship, and soon the two brought a lot of wealth.
After making money, the mother of the original owner quickly moved with the original owner, sold the dilapidated house of the scumbag's "charity" second-hand, and scraped together enough money to buy a villa in the city center.
At that time, the original owner was 10 years old.
The original owner's mother developed in China for another three years, and then set up her own company in the first year of the original owner's promotion to junior high school and moved to foreign development.
Considering that the original owner was still young, the company had just been established and did not have much capital, and she did not understand the language, so her mother did not take her out of the country with her.
After completing the formalities for the original owner's education and arranging her food, clothing, housing and transportation, her mother left.
I went for more than three years and never went home.
Although the mother and daughter often communicate by phone, they never exceed three times a week, and each time never lasts more than ten minutes......
Every time the two chatted, a sentence suddenly came from the other side of the phone-
"I'm sorry baby, mom has a meeting here in a while, can I call you back when I'm done?"
β...... Well, good. β
"I've been a little busy lately, so I may not have time to accompany you, so I'll transfer some money to you in a while, see what is delicious and fun, don't starve yourself."
"yes, okay."
"Don't blame your mother for not having time to spend with you, mom is all for you to live a better life."
"No, Mom, you can get busy...... I'll make an appointment with my classmates in a while, and I'm going to hang out. β
"Okay, it's good to have friends to play with, then I won't tell you, hang up."
β......β
"Doodoo-"
β......β
"Okay."
Putting down the phone, she looked at the address book with only overseas call records and turned off the phone.
β......β
Where did she have any friends, where did she make friends?
The original owner has been living alone since he went to junior high school.
In the huge villa, only the part-time worker aunt called by my mother will come over to clean and cook.
But that doesn't replace the position of "mom" either.
This is especially true at parent-teacher conferences for adolescent children......
Faced with activities that are always only her own parents, she is no longer willing to speak, and her personality gradually becomes withdrawn.
She doesn't chase dramas, doesn't chase stars, doesn't chase comics, doesn't chase fans, doesn't chase novels, just likes to stay alone, looking out the window in a daze.
I don't like words, I don't communicate well, and I don't know how to make friends.
After a long time, the classmates around her have less contact with her.
......
Last winter, the original owner left.
It was that winter break, the day before Christmas, Christmas Eve.
It was also her birthday.
Gu Jiu sat on the carpet, his back against the sofa, and his head rested on the cushion.
It was dark outside, and the occasional laughter from the neighbors came in, and there was no emotion on her face.
The lights in the huge living room were not turned on, and there were only two rays of light as far as the eye could see.
A candle came from the coffee table in front of Gu Jiuβa thin candle was burning in the dark, and it looked like it was about to end.
Its light was so faint that it couldn't even illuminate Gu Jiu's face.
Another ray of light came from a mobile phone on the carpet, the screen lit up, showing the pages of the dialog box.
In the dialog box, which spans a long time span in each chat, there are only a few simple sentences of record-
Mom: "Take care of yourself."
Gu Jiu: "I know."
Mom: "Tell me if you're short of money."
Gu Jiu: "Hmm."
The rest are just a lot of transfers.
Looks like...... This year is no exception.
Gu Jiu: [Picture]
Gu Jiu: "I invited a friend to my home for my birthday just now, and I forgot to take a picture of you when I had so much fun."
Gu Jiu: "There is just one candle left."
Gu Jiu: "Rounding up, Mom, you can be considered to have attended my birthday party."
β......β
After about half an hour, the person on the other side of the phone finally replied.
The content is-
"You received a transfer"
The four-digit amount is the number on her birthday, and it also reads-
"Happy birthday baby."
β......β
Gu Jiu didn't need to look at it to know what the other party had sent, she didn't pay attention to the phone, but got up and entered the room.
"Click."
It was the sound of the door being locked.
"A lot of money is given every year for birthdays, but what's the use?"
"You never come back to spend my birthday with me, and you don't even have the chance to spend the New Year together with two people!"
"What's the use of happy birthday? What's the use of loving me more? β
"Liar! You are all liars! β
The room was filled with the hoarse screams of girls, accompanied by the sound of books and other things falling to the ground. I remember last year's winter was very cold, and there was a thick layer of snow outside the window.
Gu Jiu had no intention of enjoying the scenery, and after taking a bath, he went directly into the quilt, his body was wet and his hair was not dried.
So, that night she had a fever.
There was no one at home, so naturally no one found her and no one took care of her.
The next morning she forced herself out of bed to find a fever reducer.
But she was so dizzy that she couldn't read the words on the medicine bottle, she was irritable and her hands trembled, and she swallowed all the medicine she had spilled.
The medicine has a sleeping effect.
She returned to her wet bed, closed her eyes in a daze, and fell asleep.
When she woke up again, she was Su Jiu.
β......β
Su Jiu received the memory of the original owner and knew the birthday wish she had made-
"God, God, Bodhisattva, God...... Everyone, if you really exist, please help me make my wish come true......"
"I don't want anything, the only request is that my mother can come back and spend my birthday with me, even if it's once......"
Su Jiu carried his bag and passed by the buildings in the city center.
There is a huge advertising screen hanging on the high-rise building, on which is playing content related to finance -
"Gu Qiuwei, an investment ghost, made such an answer when facing a reporter's question......"
"In fact, before I got married, I always had the intention of starting my own company and working hard, but because I was too young at the time, I chose the former between love and career."
"To say that my current success is actually not an overnight success."
"I'm just back on track."
"It's like going back in time......"
ββ¦β¦β
Su Jiu casually glanced at the woman on the screen, she did look very young and beautiful, and she also had an outstanding temperament.
She turned her head to look at the glass wall beside her, and her own shadow was reflected on the clean wall.
Also young and pretty.
Outstanding temperament.
She flicked her bangs in front of her forehead, turned her face from side to side, and looked at the girl on the wall.
"It's a good skin," she muttered, turning to get on the bus, "I hope no one in the class is interested in financial news......
She didn't want to draw attention to the people around her because of this.
......
Today is Su Jiu's first day of school.
Because of the mistake of the original owner, Su Jiu had to recuperate at home for a long time.
When she recovered, she called her mother and told her that she wanted to transfer schools.
The power of capital is different, and the efficiency of handling transfer procedures is extremely high.
I heard that the new school is a local high school, and Su Jiu is the only transfer student in the entire school.
"Dingβthe bus arrives."
Stepping into the new environment, Su Jiu couldn't help but sigh that Chonggao's environment was different.
The trail is lined with greenery and surrounded by flower beds.
There are six four-storey school buildings, and the first, second, and third year students are separated and scattered around the school.
A particularly large pond was built in the center of the school, in which koi fish were raised, and willows were planted on the edge of the pond.
It is said that there is also a three-story supermarket and cafeteria on campus, and the gymnasium and playground are also located on a large area.
Moreover, two-thirds of the teachers in the school have studied abroad, and there are more than a dozen special teachers......
