Chapter 140 Thunderstorm Night

Relating to their relationship.

From childhood to adulthood, childhood sweethearts.

Ever since she could remember, Jiang Yu’s first friend was Su Yehao. Back when she was still a snot-nosed kid, she was already constantly running after Su Yehao.

This experience, accompanying her growth, was deeply ingrained, impossible to cut off, and difficult to sort out.

Therefore, even though Jiang Yu was exceptionally popular on campus, and recently, as graduation approached, the classmates writing her love letters and confessing their feelings could form a line five meters long, this girl still couldn’t find confidence when facing Su Yehao.

The only thing she could do was to get a kick out of talking, teasing Su Yehao a few words when nothing was happening, and that was it.

Second Aunt, as someone who had been through it all, had long ago noticed something was wrong.

Being casually praised by Su Yehao would make this beautiful girl, whom she wanted to take as a goddaughter, happy. Occasionally, after bickering, Jiang Yu would be annoyed, unable to hide her feelings, and her emotions would easily be written on her face.

To this, Second Aunt only found it amusing.

Ever since Su Yehao’s mother moved out, Second Aunt had been single-mindedly trying to become the “first wife” of the Su family.

She wasn’t stupid, and she was especially outstanding in emotional intelligence when it came to interpersonal relationships.

As for Jiang Yu’s parents occasionally letting their daughter stay at the Su’s house during business trips, it could certainly explain the close relationship between the two families, but in Second Aunt’s eyes, it wasn’t without the intention of letting the younger generation interact more, hoping that things would come to fruition naturally and she would enter the Su family’s door.

Second Aunt was also such a person in her early years.

Jiang Shiye’s little tricks couldn’t be hidden from her.

Hoping to fly up a branch and become a phoenix was human nature. Although the threshold of the Su family was high, both Su’s father and Second Aunt had a good impression of little Jiang Yu.

Otherwise, Second Aunt wouldn’t have wanted to take Jiang Yu as a goddaughter.

Even though she was just an aunt.

In the eyes of others, Second Aunt had undoubtedly been quite successful.

A room full of leather bags, jewelry, and expensive clothes, with a total value of over ten million.

She also had tens of millions in assets, and she felt no pressure when interacting with the famous ladies and women in Casino, enough to make others drool with envy. She had long achieved financial freedom, and there were many people who wanted to build relationships with her.

At this moment.

Second Aunt sent Jiang Yu away, asking her to help make flower tea.

Then she stopped Su Yehao, who was about to send the car to be washed. Second Aunt asked with a smile, subtly:

“Little Hao, you’re a young man now, you should know that women of all ages need to be coaxed, right? I see you usually bickering with little Jiang Yu, that won’t do, there’s no gentlemanly demeanor. Take my credit card, take her out shopping, buy her some new clothes, jewelry is also fine… too expensive is not suitable, spend whatever you want under fifty thousand.”

Some time ago.

Second Aunt hired a private detective and found that Su’s father often socialized, singing and drinking, and was proficient in everything.

This was normal and there was nothing to care about.

The point was, she originally thought Su’s father would secretly meet Third Aunt, but there was no movement at all.

After asking around, she found out that Third Aunt had gone to Tokyo and hadn’t returned.

After thinking about it.

Second Aunt vaguely saw her own shadow in Third Aunt, fearing that one day in the future, she would also leave the Su family mansion.

This wasn’t just a case of the rabbit mourning the fox’s death, but rather Su’s father was more ruthless than she had imagined.

So many years of feelings, if they could really be scattered like Third Aunt said, it would inevitably cause Second Aunt, whose name wasn’t proper and her position wasn’t right, to feel a sense of crisis.

Just now, she had an idea.

Second Aunt felt that if she took a goddaughter and matched her with Su Yehao.

If it really worked out, and she treated them even better in the future, at least when something went wrong in the future, she wouldn’t even have someone standing by her side to help speak.

Thinking about the day Third Aunt left, Su Yehao’s “speaking on the matter” had played a role in fueling the flames.

After reflecting on it recently, Second Aunt felt that Third Aunt was really stupid.

She was over forty years old, and she even played the trick of running away from home, wouldn’t this be pushing herself into the fire pit and actively leaving a position for other younger and more beautiful women?

Thinking about it, it made sense. If she had any brains, why would she let Su’s father pay off her brother’s gambling debts early in the morning?

If she had whispered in his ear, maybe it would have happened long ago.

Su Yehao was now wondering why Second Aunt was suddenly concerned about his emotional problems, he had no clue and couldn’t guess.

He only thought that the elders liked to act as matchmakers, and casually said, “Next time, there’s an exam on Saturday, Jiang Yu has to study at home, my Portuguese is too bad, I’m definitely done for, she needs to prepare seriously.”

“… Oh right, I almost forgot.”

Second Aunt changed the subject and then asked: “Doesn’t your school have many places to study in the UK? Your dad hasn’t come back, I haven’t had a chance to talk to him about it. Did you and Jiang Yu go through the relationship with the Donghuang Zhao family?”

“Jiang Yu mentioned it, she’s preparing to apply to Hong Kong University, I guess I’ll also study in Hong Kong.”

After Su Yehao finished speaking.

Second Aunt nodded thoughtfully.

Many families like to place their hopes on their children’s studies, she didn’t care about those, thinking that if the two were close, it would be easier to handle.

She continued to tutor Su Yehao.

In the identity of someone who had been there, she taught a certain unknown small pond owner how to make a girl feel comfortable and cared for.

This made Su Yehao feel strange.

He always had a subtle feeling of being taught experience by an old fish in someone else’s pond…

It was similar to the reason why he didn’t pester Zhao Yimeng.

Su Yehao also believed that he couldn’t give Jiang Yu the life she wanted. If he chose to hide it, she would definitely cry miserably when she found out that there were several other “sisters”.

It was better to provoke her less from the beginning, so as not to increase the guilt in his heart and break the current balance.

People’s greed is infinite, but energy is limited.

Su Yehao had a deep understanding of this.

Maybe he could only release her back into the sea… right?

————————————————

That night.

After ten o’clock in the evening, Su Yehao was rarely relaxed, and fell asleep the moment his head hit the pillow.

Pure, health-preserving sleep.

It felt extremely good.

In a daze, he was awakened by the sound of thunder in the middle of the night.

Outside the window, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled. The summer rain came as it pleased, without any reason.

Just as he was about to brew sleepiness again, he unexpectedly heard a knock on the door, accompanied by Jiang Yu’s soft inquiry.

Su Yehao sighed, impatiently got up and got out of bed, walked barefoot on the carpet, opened the door and complained, “What are you doing so late at night, summoning spirits?”

He saw Jiang Yu’s face pale, begging, “I’m afraid of thunder, before, whenever there was thunder, I would sleep with my mom, can I… stay in your room for a while?”

“It’s just thunder, what’s so scary about it, didn’t you learn it in physics class?”

After Su Yehao ridiculed her, he still let Jiang Yu into the room. Just as another thunder sounded, the girl trembled all over.

She had been busy reading and was already ready to sleep.

Jiang Yu was wearing a tangerine-red nightdress with a Garfield pattern, her slender white legs were exposed, she smelled of milk after taking a shower, and her hair wasn’t completely dry yet.

Su Yehao lay back on the bed.

In a daze, he looked at the alarm clock, it was already almost midnight.

Seeing Su Yehao quickly lying down, Jiang Yu bit her lip, annoyed, “Can’t you talk to me? Anyway, there are no classes tomorrow morning, just self-study at school.”

“Yeah, you talk, I’ll chat with you with my eyes closed.”

Su Yehao said perfunctorily.

He was really too sleepy, he couldn’t hold on after a few words, and began to snore lightly.

“……”

Outside, it was still stormy, with lightning and thunder.

Lightning flashed across the sky, illuminating the room with only the bedside lamp on.

Jiang Yu was most afraid of this, so she sat on the edge of the bed, closer to this big jerk who wasn’t considerate at all.

Time passed by minute by minute.

The thunderstorm showed no sign of stopping, Jiang Yu was really sleepy, thinking about resting for a while, and then returning to the room after the lightning stopped, without covering herself with a blanket, she curled up on the edge of the bed and lay on her side.

With someone beside her, two were one meter apart, although Su Yehao had fallen asleep, it still made Jiang Yu feel less scared.

Soon.

Without paying attention, this girl really fell asleep.

In a daze, she moved her body, turned over and wrapped herself in the blanket, put her legs on Su Yehao’s legs, and her little feet even moved.



After falling asleep.

Jiang Yu had a strange dream.

She dreamed that she had turned into a little white rabbit, and had been working hard to pull radishes.

She was originally very happy.

But there was a radish that she couldn’t pull out no matter what, and she was so anxious that she spun around in circles.
