The driver kept shaking the windshield wipers when driving, but his vision was still blocked, and he couldn't see clearly or drive fast.

The luxury car almost staggered to the outside of the compound of the Fu family's villa.

In such a bad weather environment, Xu Shu has been standing outside and waiting.

Her thin and slender body seemed to be blown away by the wind and rain at any time, like fluttering grass.

The car stopped, the driver in front hurriedly ran over to open the door for him and hold an umbrella, Fu Ming got out of the car, and the first thing he saw was Xu Shu's rain-stained eyes.

The pupils were shining, as if they were shining with scorching fire, and they looked like they were burning before their emotions were extinguished......

Let him remember.

At that time, the person who drove Fu Ming with him was Xu Minghua's colleague, who knew Xu Shu, and after seeing her, he hurriedly reminded in a low voice: "Mr. Fu, this is Driver Xu's daughter." ”

Driver Xu ......

Fu Ming's eyebrows moved slightly, and he took out a handkerchief from the pocket of his suit jacket and handed it to her.

Someone suddenly appeared, Xu Shu flashed his eyes like a frightened deer, his eyes changed from stubborn to timid, staring at him a little helplessly.

Fu Mingsui: "What's your name?" ”

Xu Shu paused for a moment and replied softly.

Fu Mingsui asked again: "Who told you to wait here?" ”

“…… No one. Xu Shu snorted, her voice trembling from the cold rain that poured down: "I wanted to come here myself." ”

Fu Ming's voice was gentle: "The rain is so heavy, why do you want to come here?" ”

"I—I'd like to ask." Xu Shu bit her lip, as if she felt a little embarrassed: "About my father's accident compensation......

Just like that, a girl like a little white flower came to the Feng family in Longtan Tiger's Den to ask for compensation?

No wonder, she would be thrown into the rain and left unattended.

Fu Ming looked at him with a hint of pity, but he couldn't see clearly in the rippling rain and fog.

He asked her, "How old are you?" ”

Xu Shu didn't know why, and hesitated to tell the truth: "Ten, seventeen." ”

If you are still a minor, you can sponsor it.

Fu Mingsui took off the emerald brooch pinned to his suit, grabbed her hand and stuffed it for her.

Both of them had water on their hands, and Xu Shu, who was cold at this moment, trembled, but the brooch lying in the palm of his hand shone - like the only bright color in this invisible night.

The man in front of him is too, as if he is surrounded by light.

"Take this and go back." Fu Mingsui said lightly: "Don't wait here, no one will come out to see you." ”

After speaking, he walked into the villa standing behind Xu Shu.

In the majestic rain, the footsteps are not slow, and even the cuffs that have been accidentally stained with rain are excellent.

Xu Shu's gaze unconsciously shifted in the direction of Fu Mingsui, and he watched him walk farther and farther away in a daze until he disappeared.

It's like an imaginary dream......

If it weren't for the gemstone brooch in his hand, it would be awkward to the touch.

Xu Shu opened her eyes in a daze, only to feel a faint layer of mist lingering around her body, and her snort was stuffy.

She forgot to turn on the air conditioner before going to bed and was woken up by the heat.

Sitting up, Xu Shu picked up the water cup next to her and drank two sips of water, which slightly relieved the fatigue just now after falling into a deep dream.

I just dreamed of Fu Mingsui again.

Xu Shu looked at the clear water in the cup in a trance, and after a while, she raised the corners of her lips self-deprecatingly.

For eight years, the same dream appeared in her mind I don't know how many times...... It made a deeper impression on her over and over again.

This leads to the fact that no matter how many years have passed, as long as she remembers that rainy night eight years ago, Xu Shu will still feel vivid.

Even, she remembers every detail very clearly.

The headlights of the car on a rainy day were very bright, and the people who were shaking could hardly open their eyes, Fu Ming walked down from the car, and his black leather shoes stepped on the rain, as if he was making a sound step by step.

In those few days, Xu Shu completely tasted the warmth and coldness of the world.

She thought that she was desperate, otherwise she would not have resolutely walked out of her father's employer and shamelessly wanted compensation...... She was desperate.

My mother is sick and she needs to study, she needs money so much, she can't do it.

It's just that the people of the Feng family refuse to see her.

Xu Shu was reluctant to go, as if she had grabbed the last life-saving straw, she waited stubbornly outside, and she didn't know how long she had been waiting-

Fu Mingsui who appeared at this time undoubtedly saved her.

Both spiritually and financially, he is like a 'savior'.

The brooch that Fu Ming gave her with him may have just been given casually, and he had long forgotten about her.

Maybe he will never know how much of a ripple his casual actions can make in someone else's life......

But Xu Shu will always remember.

That brooch is a pure emerald, brilliant and beautiful, priceless, Xu Shu has it, like a beggar holding a gold brick.

She watched it all night, took a lot of photos with her mobile phone, and then sold them without hesitation.

Since the age of fifteen, when her mother was diagnosed with kidney failure and needed money to fish for her life, Xu Shu has not been a stubborn romantic.

She is very practical, and nothing is more important than the word 'alive'.

Self-esteem is not valuable, and the most important thing is to keep the mother alive.

What's more, she still has to study.

Xu Shu knows that for a person like her from an ordinary family, only studying hard is the only way to change her fate and cross classes.

People who don't have money are despicable in what they do.

If it weren't for the bad situation at home, Xu Minghua would not have picked up private work everywhere to drive, and it was only after overwork that he encountered a heavy rain before he had an accident.

Xu Shu did not hesitate to sell the brooch.

It's a pity that even if she has betrayed her self-esteem with the idea of 'owing others for the rest of her life' in her heart, she still failed to save her mother in the end.

After dealing with his mother's funeral, Xu Shu sent all the money left after selling the brooch to Jinghui.

For her, the truth of 'saving the emergency but not the poor' is deeply rooted in her bones.

Mother's illness is urgent, but her long lonely journey is not, where is there any reason to continue to use other people's money with peace of mind?

Xu Shu already knew that the well-wisher who funded him that day was Fu Mingsui, Jing Hui's young prince and one of his father's former employers.

There's a lot of money left, and she has to use her real name if she wants to send it out in the card.

So...... Her name should have appeared in front of Fu Mingsui more than once.

After sending the card to Jinghui's general manager's office that time, Xu Shu waited for a long time to see if there would be any reply.

Her shipping information was written with the address of her aunt's house, in case ...... He was a little curious.

But Fu Mingsui still didn't remember her.

Chapter 13: Gems

◎Before getting the certificate, let me see your daughter-in-law. ◎

On Saturday morning, Xu Shu and Fu Mingsui went to visit Fu's house.

The old house is deep and quiet, it is a single courtyard, but in the Dongmen Bridge section of Jiangcheng, where every inch of land is valuable, every brick and tile of the Gaomen compound is a very low-key decoration style, but there are traces of money engraved everywhere.

Xu Shu was wearing an off-white dress, a high-waisted retro style, and her hair was coiled up to reveal a slender swan neck, which was very generous and decent.

But she was still afraid of being rude, and checked herself from head to toe before getting out of the car.

"Don't worry." Fu Ming casually seemed to see what she was afraid of, and chuckled to reassure: "It's beautiful." ”

This was the first time he had commented on her appearance, and it was not half provocative sincerity, nor half comforting......

Although Fu Ming was appeasing him in this scene, he showed that he was very sincere.

Xu Shu was stunned, bent her eyes and smiled, and suddenly felt that the tension and anxiety in her heart were strangely reduced.

But in reality, she wasn't the only one who was nervous.

The housekeepers and nannies in the villa were busy non-stop, and Bai Rong was also busy, blindly busy.

She is a wealthy wife who does not touch the spring water with ten fingers, and she has not known what housework has been since she was born, and at the moment it is purely because of nervousness, constantly going around the house in circles.

"Ah Rong." Fu Kunlu, who was sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper, was helpless, pushed his glasses and looked at her: "Don't go around, sit down and rest." ”

"Where can I sit, why hasn't Ming Sui brought people back yet?" Bai Rong wrapped her arms around her, unconsciously rubbed the jade bracelet on her wrist, frowned and muttered: "He just said a month ago that he wouldn't let me introduce him to a girl, and he will bring one back today...... This is the first time that Ming Sui has brought people back, so we must pay attention to it. ”

"Old man, did you hear me?"

Seeing her husband putting all his thoughts on the newspaper, Bai Rong couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied.

"I heard it, I heard it." Fu Kunlu had no choice but to put down the newspaper and responded with a smile: "Ming Sui is not one of those young and impulsive children anymore, how old is he, what is there to worry about?" ”

"You have to worry about how old you are." Bai Rong was not convinced and glared at him.

As he was talking, the voice of the housekeeper Uncle Wu came from the gate: "Ming Sui, you are back, Mr. and Mrs. are in the living room." ”

Bai Rong sat down for a few seconds before she immediately stood up and went over to greet her with a smile.

At a glance, she saw the girl holding Fu Mingsui's arm.

Xu Shu is close to 170 tall, with a thin and slender figure, and she looks taller and thinner when she steps on mid-heels.

Although Fu Mingsui standing next to 185 still has a feeling of 'little bird and people', the magnetic fields of the two people give people an inexplicable sense of compatibility, as if they should be born in a circle.

It's a good match.

Bai Rong looked at the person quietly in a very short time, and was quite satisfied with Xu Shu's first impression.
