Chapter 273 Gratitude and Gossip

  Lamenting at the New Year, and then nothing much happened.

  There weren't many relatives to visit, but quite a few people came to the Su family mansion with gifts.

  On the first morning of the Lunar New Year, Su Yehao received several red envelopes when he returned home.

  It wasn't just relatives and friends who came, but also business partners who took the opportunity to visit. The house was lively, and his mother had already called, arranging to have dinner with Grandpa Tang that evening.

  Su Yehao was just about to leave, intending to find the little girl first, when he ran into Zhao Yimeng at the entrance of the mansion.

  She was wearing a white trench coat, with a blue leather bag hanging at her waist.

  Wearing a small slanted hat, she was staring blankly at the sky, not knowing what she was thinking.

  Parking the McLaren in front of Zhao Yimeng, Su Yehao opened the car window and leaned out to ask, "What are you doing here during the New Year? Aren't you going abroad to visit your dad?"

  "I saw him a few days ago, just came back. My dad's recovery is pretty good."

  The car was too low, and Zhao Yimeng had to lower her head to see Su Yehao's face. She continued, "Are you going out? The Dai-Ichi Kangyo Bank of Japan suddenly contacted us, saying they were willing to provide a low-interest loan of 500 million Hong Kong dollars, on the condition that someone guarantee it. After asking around, we found out that you helped us out, so my mom asked me to come and thank you."

  It was just a small matter done on a whim. Su Yehao was about to say you're welcome.

  He saw Zhao Yimeng's strange expression, and then she said, "Tell me, what exactly are you up to? Why are you being so nice to me?"

  This sentence left Su Yehao dumbfounded.

  At that time, the bank executives asked him to recommend some clients, and he naturally thought of the Donghuang Group, which was in trouble... how did it become him being nice to her?

  Sighing inwardly at her narcissism, Su Yehao opened the door and got out of the car, stretching lazily as he laughed:

  "No choice, we were in love after all. I just happened to have a collaboration with them, and then I thought of your family. Could it be that you only came to say thank you, without any real expression of gratitude? It's not very polite to visit empty-handed during the New Year."

  If someone else said these words, Zhao Yimeng might have taken it to heart, but because it was Su Yehao, she was already used to it.

  She only said, "Shameless, you actually take the initiative to ask for benefits? My family is already in such a difficult situation, and I'm just passing by, I didn't even enter your house."

  "Didn't you say yourself that the problem lies with the Donghuang Group, and your family is doing quite well? Besides, I bought a piece of land, and my dad bought the Donghuang Central Plaza. Adding this money to your company's cash should be enough to cope with the short-term difficulties, right? True bros, I went around asking people for help to get you a loan, spending millions, can I get reimbursed?"

  After Su Yehao finished speaking, Zhao Yimeng gritted her teeth and her cheeks puffed up.

  Seriously speaking, although the Su family helped this time, they also lowered the price and took advantage of the situation.

  Especially in the Donghuang Central Plaza project, it was equivalent to transferring it at the land acquisition price and construction cost, which was about 20% lower than the actual valuation. It was hard to say whether they were taking advantage of the fire.

  The phrase "true bros" once again stirred up Zhao Yimeng's dark history. She said proudly:

  "Went around asking people for help? And spent millions? Who would believe that? Although I want to thank you, you can't treat me like a sucker. A few million Japanese yen is more like it."

  "... Japanese yen will also do, just enough to maintain my car."

  Su Yehao raised his arm and looked at his watch, and said again: "I have an appointment with a friend, I don't have time to favor you today, let's talk next time when I'm free."

  "Hmph, your hair is combed so shiny, you must be going out to fool around again, bye!"

  After Zhao Yimeng finished speaking, she left straight away.

  It was her mother, Jin Yu, who asked her to come over to say thank you, just to convey the message.

  Su Yehao stared at Zhao Yimeng's back. She was undoubtedly a good girl who couldn't be faulted in any way. Even He Shaofan and the others knew that now was the best time to take advantage of the situation. How could he not know?

  Unfortunately, once this girl enters the pond, the small pond might be completely overturned.

  If Su Yehao were greedy, he might have done something like abandoning the old for the new, but he was quite satisfied with his current life and didn't want to mess around easily.

  A marriage between the two families could indeed reduce the struggle by a period of time. For others, it might be several lifetimes, but in Su Yehao's eyes, it was just a year or two. There was no need to mix these interests into his emotions.

  That's what he thought, but marrying her was equivalent to merging a medium-sized listed company. Faced with a "dowry" calculated in billions, it was inevitable that people would have flights of fancy.

  With Zhao Yimeng's conditions, she would definitely not lack suitors.

  Therefore, repeatedly letting go of opportunities to get closer, Su Yehao was also a little melancholy. It was like seeing an excellent cabbage, but he just couldn't bring himself to take it.

  Shaking his head, he got back in the car and set off again. After picking up Nangong Tian, he went to Taipa Grande Hill Municipal Park...

  ————————————————————

  When he was in middle school, Su Yehao was already well-known.

  Nangong Tian's classmates couldn't help but know about his situation. After meeting, they were polite and friendly. It was really just a walk in the park, chatting about the recent situation of their friends.

  Facing Nangong Tian's group of besties, Su Yehao had long been prepared to be a background character, walking lazily behind the crowd.

  The air on Grande Hill was fresh, with lush trees and many birds chirping.

  Of course.

  When six girls got together, even the most powerful birds couldn't compete with them. It was said that three women were equal to five hundred ducks, and they added up to a thousand. They chatted lively and were especially cheerful.

  He didn't know what they were talking about.

  Suddenly, a girl with an oval face asked him, "Brother Hao, Linda Yun, the English teacher, used to teach your class, right?"

  "... Yes, what's wrong with her?"

  Su Yehao recalled the past events. He had almost forgotten her after graduation, and hadn't seen her since the school trip.

  The slightly chubby girl with the oval face gossiped, "My cousin went to Donghuang Rose Middle School to teach. Last night, I heard her say that Linda Yun had gotten together with a married professional composer. His wife went directly to the school and smashed her car. Later, she really couldn't stay there any longer and resigned before the New Year."

  "?????"

  Su Yehao was deeply surprised. He thought for a while and said, "That shouldn't be the case. She's so beautiful, there's no need for her to interfere randomly. I remember when I was in school, people often drove luxury cars and gave her flowers, and Linda Yun's personality is also very good, she doesn't seem like that kind of person."

  Another girl nodded, agreeing:

  "I also heard about it, it seems like she met a bad man and was completely fooled. It wasn't until his wife brought people that she found out he was already married. Fortunately, the school security guards stopped them, otherwise Linda Yun would have been chased and beaten by her. Anyway, with this kind of thing happening, she definitely couldn't continue to stay, and she took the initiative to resign the next day."

  The Casino circle was too small.

  As soon as there was any disturbance, it spread like wildfire.

  After listening, Su Yehao said with a sigh:

  "Beautiful women have a lot of troubles, it's a bit of a pity. Linda Yun taught very seriously, even for a scumbag like me, she didn't give up until the end..."
