"No wonder! No wonder you’re trying every possible way to cling to Su Ronggui! Catching Su Ronggui ans living a good life, right? You even thought of using saving Grandma as a tactic! Why was Grandma saved by you? Did you make Grandma sick? How could you predict so accurately when Grandma would fall ill? You girls, can’t you have a bit of self-respect? Don’t just leap at any man with so money! Want to save twenty years of hard work? I’m telling you, it’s useless! Our family will never accept a daughter-in-law who’s not a proper match for us! Stop dreaming!"
Tu Hengsha was exasperated by her antics, "Enough, okay! Who cares about your Su family? Who would like that bad-tempered Su Ronggui? Are you all too full of yourselves? Is it too much confidence or not enough self-esteem? And your Su family’s money! No one is envious! You can cuddle it yourselves!"
Who likes that bad-tempered Su Ronggui? She only wanted her classmate, Xiao Xu!
"You... really don’t like Su Ronggui?" Su Rongxing questioned incredulously.
"Don’t like, don’t like, don’t like! Is that enough?" She held her lunch box, glared, and hurried past Su Rongxing out of the cafeteria, heading straight for the editing platform. What she didn’t see was soone quickly retreating from the entrance and hiding to the side until her figure disappeared. Only then did he co out, coincidentally bumping into Su Rongxing, who had just left the cafeteria.
Su Rongxing was delighted to see him, "Su Ronggui, just now Tu Hengsha said she doesn’t like you!"
He kept his chin taut and remained silent.
"Ha! Who does she think she is? Are we waiting for soone like her to choose? Utterly ungrateful!"
He walked away imdiately.
"Hey! Su Ronggui, wait up!" Su Ronggui’s sharp voice sounded particularly jarring in the quiet afternoon at the cafeteria entrance.
At the editing platform, Tu Hengsha and Hao Ren sat together, one busy typing away and the other editing photos and videos. Each had a al beside them, but it was ages before they took a bite.
Hao Ren, having finished a small section, was checking his work for phrasing and typos while picking up chopsticks to grab so food, inadvertently reaching into Tu Hengsha’s bowl. When he looked down to eat, he realized he had made a mistake.
"This... sorry, guess I was tempted by your food..." he swore it wasn’t on purpose.
Tu Hengsha couldn’t help but go along with it, "Go ahead, eat up; after all, a pretty girl like makes everything taste better!"
Hao Ren chuckled, "I’ve seen people praise themselves but never seen soone praise both themselves and the dish! Are you a dish yourself? Little Sha, if you were a dish, what dish would you be?"
Tu Hengsha thought for a mont, "Certainly not mutton with big knife cuts!"
Hao Ren laughed loudly, "Definitely not! Even if you were mutton with big knife cuts, I wouldn’t dare to eat you! I’ll stick to green vegetables!" He promptly ate the bite of food.
Su Ronggui entered just in ti to see this scene, the two of them chatting and laughing, while Hao Ren ate from her lunch box.
His jaw tightened even more.
In the afternoon, Tu Hengsha and Hao Ren finished today’s news because the speech details had to be thoroughly reported, so Hao Ren’s article was lengthy. After uploading, it was sent back for revisions several tis, so by the ti work ended, Hao Ren’s news article was still being modified.
Tu Hengsha’s photos and videos were fine, but she stayed to wait for Hao Ren, not for dinner; after all, this interview had been a joint effort.
Su Rongxing was preparing to leave for the day and approached Su Ronggui, "Su Ronggui, co ho for dinner tonight! Even if you don’t stay ho, you can still co for dinner! My dad, your mom, and my brother all think about you!"
"No, Grandma still needs dinner," he refused flatly.
"Oh..." Su Rongxing pouted, "Then... then I’ll accompany you..."
"Go ho. I’ll take a cab to the hospital myself," he interrupted her.
She felt a little guilty.
Indeed, it wasn’t appropriate for her to visit his Grandma at the hospital, because she had once followed Su Ronggui to his Grandma’s house as a child. His Grandma offered her pastries and fruits, but were those edible? The packaging of the pastries already looked like cheap goods from so small workshop, and her mom would never have allowed her to eat such things for fear of a stomachache. As for the fruit, who knew if it was clean. Either way, she wouldn’t eat it, but his Grandma insisted. She thought maybe his Grandma’s hands were dirty and touched her clothes, which was disgusting! So she dumped the fruit and pastries on the ground and told Su Ronggui these things were dirty and shouldn’t be eaten! The yard was dirty too, and they shouldn’t co in the future! Back then, she ant well, right? But he got angry.
In short, she never went to his Grandma’s place again. She couldn’t go now, nor did she want to!
"Then... can I drop you off at the hospital? Then I’ll go ho myself?" she asked cautiously, since neither of them had forgotten about the past.
"No need! Go ho!" his face turned a bit cold.
She was afraid he would recall childhood events, so she didn’t pester him further and went ho herself.
Soon, except for the night shift staff, there weren’t many people left on the editing platform.
"Tu Hengsha!"
The sudden shout startled Tu Hengsha while she was helping Hao Ren proofread, and it indeed made her jump.
But she saw him approaching, picking up the lunch box she had left aside since noon, disposing of it while chastising her, "You, do you leave things untidy at ho and outside?"
"..." Tu Hengsha was dumbfounded; how did he know she was untidy at ho?
"The lunch box sat there all afternoon, and you didn’t find it slly? Did you expect to clean it up?" he said sternly again.
"Oh..." Why did she find the situation a bit absurd? She picked up Hao Ren’s leftover lunch box too and handed it to him, "Then... then here’s another one."
His face tightened even further.
Wait a minute! This was a precursor to Mr. Su getting angry, she realized. Okay, maybe making Mr. Su clean up wasn’t such a good idea. She hurriedly stood up with the lunch box, "I’ll do it myself, I’ll do it myself..."
Tu Hengsha saw with her own eyes that his face darkened even more. So what was going on?
"Give it to !" He took it, turned, and threw it away, making a loud noise in the trash can.
Tu Hengsha was puzzled again, so asking him to throw it made him angry, but not asking also made him angry? Was Mr. Su a moody young girl?
"Enough, go ho." He only returned after washing his hands.
Go ho? "But I..." She glanced at Hao Ren, who was still busy.
Hao Ren took a break from his work, looked up with a smile, "She promised to go for hot pot with ! Do you want to join?"
