The next day, it rained.
When Tu Hengsha went downstairs, she habitually glanced down and saw the familiar car she expected. She smiled and dashed downstairs quickly.
Before leaving, Shu Hui had forcibly stuffed an umbrella into her bag, but at the mont, she couldn’t be bothered to take it out. She used her bag to cover her head and headed straight for the car door.
The music emanating from the car startled her. Such intense heavy tal music, was Mr. Su playing this? Had he changed?
When she looked again, the person sitting in the car wasn’t Mr. Su at all!
It was a very young man, who looked about twenty, with fresh and youthful features.
"Hello, sister-in-law, I’m my second brother’s brother. My na is Su Rongyu! My second brother didn’t have ti today, so he asked to pick you up!" The young man smiled broadly at her and even winked.
"..." What kind of introduction was that? Who was my second brother’s brother? Tu Hengsha found it amusing.
Su Rongyu then smacked his head, "Oh, right, I forgot to ntion, my second brother is Su Ronggui."
Su Rongyu...
She did know of this person. Upon closer inspection, he indeed resembled Su Ronggui a bit. Both brothers probably took after their mother.
"Really! Don’t you believe ? Look at my ID!" Su Rongyu thought she didn’t believe him because she didn’t respond and pulled out both his ID card and driver’s license to show her, vowing earnestly, "I drive really well, better than my second brother. Don’t worry! I race cars! My second brother always says I’m better at eating, drinking, and having fun than he is."
"..." What sort of self-introduction was this? Tu Hengsha laughed, "Thank you for your trouble, then."
"It’s no trouble at all! It’s an honor to pick up my sister-in-law!" Su Rongyu grinned widely.
He imdiately called her sister-in-law...
And was so talkative.
The exact opposite of Su Ronggui’s personality.
Speaking of which, hearing the term sister-in-law at first made her feel a bit embarrassed. Actually, if he didn’t have ti to co, why make Su Rongyu pick her up? She could have gone to work by herself.
Afterward, it was Su Rongyu’s stage. From her house to the newspaper office, he didn’t stop talking, starting from whether she had eaten, to introducing which places had delicious breakfasts, and then asking where her hotown was. The conversation spanned across various topics...
Tu Hengsha thought she was chatty enough, but eting Su Rongyu, she could only concede: Hero, I admit defeat!
Finally, sohow the conversation turned to the topic of friends, and Su Rongyu smiled and asked, "Sister-in-law, is soone nad Fan Yue your best friend?"
"..." How did Su Rongyu even bring up Fan Yue? She didn’t know how to respond and casually replied, "Yes." They used to be, indeed...
"Hehe..." Su Rongyu laughed and then fell silent, his young face slightly flushed.
What was this reaction? Tu Hengsha gave him a puzzled look.
He seed aware of his odd behavior, chuckled again, and said, "Your friend... I know them... Fan Yue is quite interesting."
Fan Yue was indeed quite interesting...
She smiled but didn’t respond.
Seeing that they were about to arrive at the newspaper office, Su Rongyu stopped the car, held an umbrella for her, and escorted her up the office steps. He said, "I’ll leave the car here. If my second brother is back in the afternoon, he’ll take you back. If he doesn’t have ti then, I’ll co to pick you up again, so please don’t wander off on your own. My second brother would scold !"
He spoke with a pitiful look, then added in a nagging tone, "Sister-in-law, why didn’t you bring an umbrella? You’ll catch a cold if you get wet! Rember to take one next ti. But my second brother’s car has an umbrella too. Why don’t I leave you the car key? You can take it yourself if you need to..."
She found it amusing. These two brothers were polar opposites, with Su Ronggui speaking too little and his brother speaking too much!
As they were talking, a loud voice called out, "Su Rongyu!"
Su Rongyu quickly turned around to see Su Rongxing approaching from the steps with an angry expression, "What are you doing here?"
"Big sister," Su Rongyu said with a shy smile, "I ca to drive sister-in-law to work!"
Sister-in-law...
Su Rongxing got even angrier hearing this. The family hadn’t even consented yet! What kind of sister-in-law! In a fit of anger, she threw her bag at Su Rongyu, "You useless brat! Skipping work to be a driver! Why don’t you drive for , huh? Are you that cheap?"
She couldn’t do anything about Tu Hengsha, but surely she could vent on her little brother?
Su Rongyu scampered around the hall trying to dodge her hits, "Sister, sister, stop hitting! Ah—"
The security guards looked awkward, uncertain whether to intervene. The siblings tussled a bit, but without any serious commotion. When Su Rongxing saw that Tu Hengsha had disappeared, she lost interest and kicked Su Rongyu’s leg, "Get lost!"
Su Rongyu quickly scurried off. Su Rongxing felt furious. Already getting called sister-in-law? She recalled how Su Ronggui returned ho the night before. She had been so enthusiastic, even personally bringing his dinner to his room, yet he remained so indifferent that he wouldn’t even open the door.
He hadn’t been like this before.
Her phone vibrated with a ssage.
She glanced down at it. Soone had sent a ssage: Babe, good morning.
She didn’t feel any joy from such words, rather a nausea that felt like throwing up!
Tears unexpectedly brimd in her eyes.
"Excuse , please move." Soone spoke.
She looked up to see Hao Ren and realized she was blocking the way, standing right in the elevator entrance without stepping inside.
But so what? She stomped her foot angrily, "And what if I don’t move? Can’t you take the stairs?" She detested everything related to Tu Hengsha!
Hao Ren looked at this woman, silently suppressing the urge to hit her.
Back on the editorial platform, Su Rongxing took out her phone, suppressing her disgust, and replied to that person: Dear, morning.
She sent the ssage and couldn’t look at it again, fearing she might really throw up.
By noon, the rain had stopped, and Tu Hengsha still hadn’t seen Su Ronggui. Chen Qi also hadn’t co.
Were the two of them on an assignnt together?
Fearing she might disturb his work, she only sent a ssage to greet him, and he called back imdiately.
"Hello?" she whispered, "I thought you were busy. Did you take your dicine last night?" She rembered his sneezing.
"I’m fine." He said on the other end, "And you? Did Rongyu annoy you?"
Tu Hengsha thought of the chatterbox and laughed, "He’s really cute, don’t say that. He’s much cuter than you..."
"..." The other side was silent for a mont, "I have sothing here. Tonight I’ll have Rongyu take you to the alley. Write ten Chapters and wait for to co back."
"..." Sothing felt off. What was going on here?
Suddenly, she heard a woman’s voice on the other end, very soft, almost like moaning and murmuring, "Su Ronggui..."
"..." Who? It sounded like Chen Qi?
"I’m right here..." Su Ronggui said, and the call was cut off afterward.
Su Ronggui and Chen Qi? Where were they? Judging by the sound, it probably wasn’t an interview assignnt, right?
