Xing Su took a sip of water. “It’s similar to being a refugee.” This was definitely not an exaggeration. Her father would give her a considerable sum of living expenses every month. However, she was with him at that time. He was born poor and had an inferiority complex in his bones. He also had a sensitive personality. In order to not let him feel pressured, Xing Su almost did not touch the living expenses her father gave her. In order to protect his pride, she also worked with him to earn living expenses. Although her life was a little tight, she was quite happy to be self-sufficient.

However, now that she thought about it, Xing Su felt that she was a fool. In order to consider his feelings, she had spent a lot of effort to hide her identity, but he had climbed up a high branch and dumped her. How ridiculous.

…

After Gu Nian’s mother sent the dessert to Xing Su’s room, she left. In the guest room, Xing Su was sitting on the bed in her home clothes, while Gu Nian was sitting on the ground in slippers and pants. His back was facing Xing Su as he played games. The two of them did not disturb each other.

Xing Su searched for information about J Corporation and a bunch of information popped up. She casually opened one and briefly understood J Corporation’s background. She asked, “Old Dog Gu, have you heard of J Corporation?”

Gu Nian answered casually as he played games, “Of course. Who in H City doesn’t know J Corporation? J Corporation is the most impressive and awesome company in H City, okay?”

Xing Su had no concept of the words “most impressive, awesome”. She continued to ask, “Then do you know which higher-up of J Group has the surname Jiang?”

Gu Nian finally turned around. “The President of J Group is Jiang Wenrui. He’s the youngest entrepreneur in the country in recent years. He’s also good-looking. He can be said to be a domineering president who came out of a novel.”

Xing Su: “Oh…” A domineering president sounded quite impressive. No wonder he was unwilling to let go of Jiang Li’s thigh. This was equivalent to reaching the heavens in a single step!

However, even so, Xing Su was still a little unwilling, so she did not hide it. “So what if you’re a domineering president!”

Gu Nian looked at Xing Su as if she was a fool. “Brother, wake up. Jiang Wenrui is a domineering president. He’s rich, good-looking, and educated. He’s really amazing!”

Xing Su leaned back and collapsed on the bed. “Then tell me, if I woo this President of J Corporation, will I succeed?”

Gu Nian laughed strangely. “Brother, I suggest you wash up and go to sleep. You can really dream of anything.”

Xing Su: “…”

The next morning, Xing Su was woken up by the ringing of her phone. When she saw the words “Grandpa” on the screen, Xing Su’s sleepiness instantly disappeared. She gently touched her chest before pressing the answer button and shouting in a coquettish voice, “Dear Grandpa…”

Before she could finish speaking, her grandfather’s energetic question came through the phone. “When did you come back to the country? Why didn’t you tell me in advance before you came back? Who knew that you were back? Does your father know? Where are you now?”

Xing Su was stunned by this series of questions. She did not know which one to answer first, but there was no need for her to be conflicted because her grandfather shouted, “Hurry up and get back here!”

Xing Su’s grandfather’s house was located in the city center. It was a two-story villa that Xing Su’s father, He Benkang, had spent a lot of money to buy for him. Xing Su’s grandfather’s personality was stubborn and fierce. Although he lived in the villa, he did not appreciate He Benkang’s kindness at all. This was because Xing Su’s mother’s death was unavoidably related to He Benkang. If not for Xing Su’s better life, he would not have moved in at all and he would have just lived in the old house in the army previously.

Xing Su’s surname was originally He. But ever since her mother passed away, she had changed her surname to her mother’s. This was also her grandfather’s intention.

At this moment, Xing Su’s grandfather accepted a pile of tea and a set of expensive horse harness. He asked the guest who was giving gifts, “Xiao Rui, how’s your grandfather’s health recently?”

Jiang Wenrui placed his hands on his knees and sat upright, but there was a sharp aura between his brows. However, in front of Xing Su’s grandfather, he deliberately restrained his aura and said humbly and respectfully, “Grandpa has always been healthy. A few days ago, he even talked about going to the racecourse with you to watch the horse race. It’s only because Grandma was suddenly seriously ill that he didn’t have time to ask you out.”

Xing Su’s grandfather sighed. “That’s right. I didn’t expect your Grandma to leave in such a hurry. Coincidentally, I wasn’t in City H at that time and didn’t have time to rush back.”

Jiang Wenrui said, “Grandma left in peace. She didn’t leave any regrets. Please don’t worry.”
