Chapter 272: Chapter 272: A Weary Heart Tornted Chapter 272: Chapter 272: A Weary Heart Tornted He Xiuyu looked up at her and asked indifferently, “Engineer Su, is there sothing you need?”
Su Yunyao clenched her fists; at the company, He Xiuyu simply did not like her calling him Brother Xiu Yu.
She had no choice but to say, “Chief Engineer He, I heard that your wife, Qiao Qingyu, beca the top scorer in the liberal arts for the province and was then admitted to Xichuan Agricultural College?”
When He Xiuyu heard the three words “Qiao Qingyu,” his brows and eyes softened unconsciously, and he asked Su Yunyao, “Are you here to offer congratulations? If so, I’d have to say thank you.”
Su Yunyao clenched her teeth; she wasn’t there to offer congratulations at all. Why should she congratulate that woman!
Her brow was furrowed tightly. From start to finish, He Xiuyu was very clear about separating his professional life from his personal life and never confused the two, and what Su Yunyao wanted to say or do was really not so easy.
After hesitating for a mont, Su Yunyao still spoke up, “Chief Engineer He, you are a scientist; you always value rigor and thoroughness in everything you do.”
He Xiuyu raised an eyebrow, lowering his head to sign his na on a docunt, and said indifferently, “That’s right, scientists must maintain strict, ticulous, and responsible attitudes.”
“Don’t you think Qiao Qingyu’s results are too strange? Everyone knows her educational background. Although she took after-school classes, and despite her intelligence, isn’t becoming the top scorer in liberal arts for the entire province a bit too exaggerated?”
“Are you suggesting her scores are fraudulent, that she cheated?” He Xiuyu’s voice was calm, betraying no emotion.
“I didn’t say that; it just seems unbelievable that she completed in one year what takes others ten years, and she even beca the first. It’s too incredible.”
“Engineer Su, what are you trying to say?” He Xiuyu looked at Su Yunyao with a deep gaze, and suddenly his voice took on an unpredictable tone, “Su Yunyao, if you think there’s sothing abnormal, then tell , where is the abnormality?”
A glimr of joy appeared in Su Yunyao’s eyes. She hadn’t expected He Xiuyu to actually ask her that—did it also an that He Xiuyu harbored doubts about Qiao Qingyu?
Indeed, as far as she rembered, He Xiuyu never liked Qiao Qingyu.
And in her mory, Qiao Qingyu had always been a foolish, ignorant, and unambitious village wife who only knew how to splurge He Xiuyu’s salary and bonuses.
Now that image had changed so drastically; how could it not raise suspicions in anyone’s mind?
But Su Yunyao hadn’t considered the reversal; there were many ways in which she herself had changed. Without similar experiences, who would think in that direction?
Su Yunyao’s voice grew a little urgent, “Brother Xiu Yu, do you trust ?”
He Xiuyu frowned slightly; although he didn’t like hearing those four words in the workplace, he still resisted the annoyance and said in a low voice, “That depends on what you have to say.”
“Brother Xiu Yu, have you never thought…”
At this point, Su Yunyao abruptly stopped.
If she were to say Qiao Qingyu had been reborn, or so lonely ghost had taken over her body, then there would be a problem. He Xiuyu would definitely ask her how she knew.
What would she answer then?
He Xiuyu still sat in his chair, though he leaned back a bit, lifting his eyelids to watch the changing expressions on Su Yunyao’s face, his mind was pondering; A-04 was his brainchild. He had worked on it from the initial idea and the first set of data to its current stage, yet Su Yunyao had produced a completed work.
He couldn’t believe that two people in this world could have identical thought processes.
That was impossible.
Just like the college entrance examination essay, given the sa topic, ten thousand people would write ten thousand different essays; none would be exactly the sa.
One could hardly assert there are absolutes in this world, but in this regard, it could be said to be absolute, absolutely impossible unless it was cheating.
But how did Su Yunyao cheat? His later work hadn’t co out yet, so how could she copy?
His voice was very calm, “Su Yunyao, what do you think I’ve thought about?”
Su Yunyao’s emotions had already cald down. She was no longer the person she had been when she had first been reborn.
Nearly a year and a half had passed, she had experienced ups and downs and various things. The world she lived in now and her surrounding environnt, including the Tenghai Research Base and the people by her side, had all changed completely.
So, was He Xiuyu still the sa He Xiuyu from before?
The answer was negative, no.
He Xiuyu had changed too. The He Xiuyu from the previous lifeti in 1981 was definitely not like now. Although he was still very capable and excellent, he truly was worn out by the harpy Qiao Qingyu.
She had never seen his eyebrows relaxed.
But now, Qiao Qingyu was no longer the sa Qiao Qingyu, so naturally, He Xiuyu was no longer the sa He Xiuyu.
He was spirited, with a light step. Although he was still serious, there seed to always be a faint smile on the corners of his mouth.
The aura around him was peaceful, sowhat like the warmth of the sun.
His complexion was good, his gaze bright, his eyebrows and eyes relaxed. When he was not busy, he played basketball with colleagues, and he seed more approachable when talking to them.
All this proved that He Xiuyu’s family life was very happy, and indeed, extrely happy.
Su Yunyao, after all, had lived for many years. She let out a long sigh in her heart. If she couldn’t say it, she would just have to let the matter rot in her stomach for the ti being.
Moreover, He Xiuyu was so smart, he could think about it on his own.
Perhaps the effect would be even better than saying it out loud.
Su Yunyao said softly, “Chief Engineer He, I’m sorry, I ddled too much.”
After speaking, she didn’t wait for He Xiuyu to say anything, turned around, and quickly walked toward the office door, afraid that He Xiuyu would call her back. She almost ran to open the door and then hurriedly left He Xiuyu’s office.
He Xiuyu glanced at the door and let out an almost inaudible snort of laughter, then continued to look at the docunts.
When Su Yunyao went downstairs, she ran into Shen Haoze.
Shen Haoze, as usual, was prepared to avoid her.
Su Yunyao, with a cold smile on her lips, boldly stopped him and even reached out to grab his wrist. Shen Haoze’s face flushed red in an instant, and he blurted out in frustration, “Su Yunyao, have you gone mad? Let go of .”
Su Yunyao still wore a cold smile, her voice just as frosty, “Shen Haoze, I rember that in the past when I would grab your hand, you would be so thrilled that you wouldn’t know what to say.”
“…I’ve already said that was in the past. Can you stop bringing up the past?”
“If we don’t ntion the past, does it cease to exist? Since we were children, Shen Haoze, you’ve always been following around.”
“Su Yunyao, what exactly do you want to do?”
“I don’t want to do anything, I just find you sowhat ridiculous.”
Su Yunyao suddenly released her grip, scornfully glanced at Shen Haoze, humd coldly, and quickly walked downstairs.
Shen Haoze leaned against the wall, raised his wrist to look at it, this damn woman, when had she gotten so strong, to actually turn a grown man’s wrist red.
Then, she must hate him in her heart now…
