Ian was the general manager of Shengshi's branch company. He was a sunny hunk with a pair of emerald eyes. He was even a bit taller than Su Yuze. As soon as he saw Su Yuze coming, Ian warmly gave him a hug. "President, long time no see."
However, Su Yuze wasn't quite used to such enthusiasm. "Ian, I'm planning to stay here for a while this time."
"Oh? Is there something wrong at the headquarters?" Ian asked with a hearty laugh.
"Yes, I'm going to take over this branch. Also, Ian, you need to help me find someone." The United States was so vast that it would surely be impossible for him to find the person alone.
"Who?" Ian was a bit curious. What kind of person would make the president come to the United States in person to look for?
Su Yuze took out a photo from his wallet. It was a picture of Su Rou smiling in front of a sea of flowers. He handed the photo to Ian. "Her name is Su Rou."
Ian took the photo and had a look. A hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes. He nodded while saying, "A very pure - looking girl. Is she your girlfriend?"
"Yes, to be exact, she's my - wife."
"Wow! When did you get married?" Ian was extremely surprised. This piece of news was too explosive. He was completely caught off - guard. "You didn't even invite me."
Su Yuze smiled faintly. "We haven't gotten married yet. I'll invite you when the time comes."
"Great! It's a deal!"
...
Since Su Rou met Jiang Ling again in college, her mood had improved a lot. Jiang Ling said, "Xiaorou, let me take you to eat something on campus. You must be tired after a whole morning of classes." You know, for a Chinese person, listening to English throughout the whole class was a very strenuous task.
Su Rou did feel hungry. She had been absorbing financial knowledge in English the whole morning, and she felt that her brain capacity was running out.
The two were walking on the college path. Jiang Ling was very proud as he introduced the surrounding scenery to Su Rou. He was quite glad that he had come to this school!
"Aren't you majoring in business administration? Is it okay for you to come and listen to the finance class this afternoon?" Su Rou asked curiously.
"It's okay. I was worried that you might not adapt well. When I first had classes here, I was extremely uncomfortable." Although his English was good, listening to it for the whole class was still very tiring.
"Okay, thanks." Su Rou gave a gentle smile.
Jiang Ling hesitated for a while. He was very curious in his heart. He really wanted to ask, but was afraid that Su Rou would get angry if he said it out. But if he didn't ask... it would be so uncomfortable to keep it in his heart!
"Do you have something to say?" Su Rou noticed his hesitation.
"I just wanted to ask... where is your boyfriend?" After thinking for a while, Jiang Ling chose to ask in a euphemistic way.
"Why do you ask?"
"What I mean is... are you still together?" Jiang Ling asked nervously. He had been here for a semester, and the bold and open foreign girls here didn't make him happy. Instead, he missed Su Rou's purity. In comparison, these foreign girls were so cheap.
Once a relationship was established, they could get intimate soon. Such a relationship was simply decadent.
When Su Rou mentioned Su Yuze, her expression softened a bit. "Yes."
"Oh..." Jiang Ling replied disappointedly.
Seeing his expression, although Su Rou felt a bit sorry for him, Jiang Ling was still her friend after all. She didn't want to lose a friendship because of love, so she changed the topic. "Do you live on campus here?"
"No, I live at home. What about you?"
"I also..." She didn't say the word "home" because in her eyes, the Wen family was not her home at all!
After the two had lunch, they planned to take a stroll on campus. "There's a graffiti wall over there on campus. A group of very artistic people are there."
Jiang Ling led Su Rou to the vicinity of the graffiti wall. Sure enough, they saw a wall painted in all kinds of colors. There were also several boys and girls sitting on the steps, smoking and chatting.
"Let's go. They're probably a bunch of delinquent teenagers." Jiang Ling whispered.
"Okay."
Just as they were about to leave, a voice came from behind. "You... are you Su Rou?"
The person spoke somewhat broken Chinese. Jiang Ling was a bit surprised. Su Rou had just transferred to this university. How did someone already know her? Jiang Ling stopped and turned around. He saw a woman with smoky - eye makeup sitting among those smoking boys and girls. It must be her who had called Su Rou's name.
"Who are you?"
"And who are you? Su Rou's boyfriend?" Wen Tong switched back to English when talking to Jiang Ling, and her speaking speed was very fast.
"I'm her high - school classmate." Jiang Ling said.
A woman with a lip stud beside her leaned over. "Wen, look at this guy. He looks so gentle. He must be no good in bed!"
As soon as the woman said this, everyone around burst into understanding laughter. Jiang Ling's face changed. No man would like to be despised in that aspect. Jiang Ling said in Chinese, "Shameless."
The lip - stud woman didn't understand Chinese, but she was sure that Jiang Ling must have been scolding her. "Damn it, what did you say!"
"Jiang Ling, let's go." Su Rou was very disgusted with such people. Jiang Ling gave those people a cold glance and then left with Su Rou.
Wen Tong exhaled a puff of smoke, and her expression was also filled with a hint of disdain and disgust. The lip - stud woman who had just humiliated Jiang Ling gave them the middle finger as they walked away.
"Wen, that girl looks a bit like you!" A black - skinned boy said to Wen Tong.
"Come on. Where does she look like me!" She didn't want to be compared with Su Rou at all!
"Hey, now that Matt mentioned it, I really think so. That girl does look a bit like Wen."
"Me too!"
Approving voices began to ring out one after another around. Wen Tong impatiently threw away the cigarette butt in her hand. "Shut up! I have nothing to do with her!"
"Why... are you so angry?" Seeing Wen Tong getting angry, the black boy named Matt said awkwardly, "It's just a joke. We all know you're an only child. There can't suddenly be a sister, right?"
Matt said it without thinking, but Wen Tong got even more annoyed. "Shit! I told you to shut up!"
"Wow! Wow!" Matt raised his hands in a surrender gesture. "Don't be angry."
Wen Tong angrily kicked over a bucket of empty paint cans placed in the corner, then said to her group of cronies, "Don't mention her again!"
At home, Su Rou had already snatched the love of her daddy and mummy. Did she also want to snatch away her friends at school?
