Su Qiao was stunned. She didn't expect that the truth back then was like this. Therefore, she always had the illusion that the food was a bit similar to the ones in the Fu family's old house.

It wasn't her misunderstanding, or it was made by the cook at the Fu family's old house.

"And back then, you couldn't afford textbooks and materials. Even the 2B pencil was given to me by him, and I gave it to you. I was just a porter."

The teacher joked with a smile, "Oh, by the way. He also gave you the money to support you when you went to college."

So, Fu Yanxiu is the senior who sponsored her back then?

Su Qiao took a long time to find her voice. "Why are you suddenly telling me all this? You didn't tell me anything when I asked you that year."

It's not that she hasn't asked before, but the teacher always didn't give a direct answer or evaded the question. Over time, Su Qiao stopped asking.

She thought that there were always people who did good things but did not want to leave their names behind, and she understood and respected that.

The teacher sighed, "In fact, Fu Yanxiu comes to see me every year. He asks about you. He knows that you and I have a good relationship."

"He came a few days ago, and he looked a little depressed." The teacher seemed to be reminiscing, "He was always full of energy and vigor. When has he ever been depressed?"

She couldn't help but ask Fu Yanxiu what happened. Fu Yanxiu smiled bitterly and said, "I might lose Su Qiao."

He smiled self-deprecatingly, "No, I have never owned her. There is no loss at all."

The teacher's eyes were a little red, "When I saw him like that, I thought of myself. I never told you, right?"

"I also had a lover back then, but my family didn't agree, and I didn't dare to confront my parents, so I just blew it off with him."

"Later, my parents also passed away. Before they died, my parents felt sorry for me and said, if you really like it, just pursue your own happiness."

However, when her parents passed away and she wanted to find her lover, he was already discouraged and married the blind date introduced by her family.

"The day I went to see him, we both cried. He said that he had his own responsibilities. Since he agreed to marry someone, he must be responsible for them."

"He also said that he would never think about me again and that he would be loyal to his wife, so that I could forget about him and that there were still many opportunities in life."

The teacher raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corner of his eyes, "It's a pity that it's over like this? What a pity. But this is life. You know what happened next. High school teachers are as busy as spinning tops. I don't have time to fall in love, and I'm too lazy. Talk, I’ll be thirty-five this year. Let it go.”

It sounds like an ordinary story, but only the person involved knows how sad it is.

This topic was a bit heavy, so the teacher quickly adjusted his mood and put on a smile again, "Look at me, I'm celebrating the New Year, what am I doing?"

Su Qiao was also touched, "It's okay, I also like to hear some gossip."

Both of them laughed, and the teacher added, "Don't think that Fu Yanxiu treats you as his younger sister. In fact, he can't hide the way he looks at you. It was the principal who noticed it first."

"The principal warned him, saying that you are from the Fu family. Even if you fall in love early, we can't do anything to you, but Su Qiao was ruined."

Su Qiao knew how lethal these words were. If Fu Yanxiu had really confessed his love at that time, the result would have been the same whether Su Qiao agreed or not.

It is because she has not found this person in Shanghai since then.

"Fu Yanxiu, I want to protect you." The teacher said, "The principal also warned him back then that if he really likes Su Qiao, he should make himself stronger so that he can protect her in the future. Instead of destroying her for a moment of greed."

So for so many years, he has been thinking of ways to completely take over the Fu family.

Just want to give her a safe environment?

Su Qiao couldn't help but think of what Fu Yanxiu had said before. He said that he had the final say in the Fu family now, and even if Mr. Fu said no, he would directly send Mr. Fu to the mountain to repair.

What he said was true, and Su Qiao believed it.

After coming out of the teacher's house, Su Qiao wandered aimlessly on the street. This side was relatively remote, there were no people on the street, and the shops on the street were all closed, waiting for the Chinese New Year.

The only excitement is probably the red Spring Festival couplets posted at the door of the shop.

But Su Qiao had no interest in watching it at all. Her mind kept thinking about what the teacher said.

…

Fu Yanxiu worked until he was thirty, and this morning he went to see a project in the suburbs. Everyone worked overtime with him, but no one dared to say anything.

What else can be said? The big bosses all work overtime, so they can only work overtime.

The big boss didn't seem to want to rest at all, and he didn't know how much he disliked celebrating the New Year. After finally finishing the project, Fu Yanxiu asked again if there was anything else he hadn't read.

No more, really no more.

He could only let everyone go in disappointment, telling them to go home and celebrate the New Year, while he himself went back to work overtime quietly.

Fang Zheng drove him to the company, and he sat in the back seat with his eyes closed to rest.

These days, he worked very hard to force himself not to have any random thoughts. As soon as he listened, he could see the image of Su Qiao looking at the photo that day.

I was obviously happy when I first saw the photos, but later on I didn’t know what I was thinking and I became depressed.

Yes, dejection. He seldom saw dejection on Su Qiao's face. It was something that she was powerless to change no matter how hard she tried.

He remembered what the principal had said to him in high school, that he should make himself strong and then protect her instead of destroying her for his own selfish desires.

Would marrying her into the Fu family ruin her? Maybe.

This is how Fu Yanxiu comforted himself, so just let it go.

"Second Young Master, I seem to have seen Miss Su." Fang Zheng said cautiously.

Fu Yanxiu opened his eyes suddenly without even thinking about it, "Where are you?"

Fang Zheng pointed not far away. He was waiting for the red light. When he looked back, he saw Su Qiao walking on the roadside, lost in thought.

…

After Su Qiao walked for a while, she noticed a car following her. At first, she didn't notice it. It was broad daylight. Although there were not many people here, it was not very remote and it was on the main road.

But later, she discovered that the car had been following her. When she looked back warily, she was stunned to see that it was Fu Yanxiu's car.

She rubbed her eyes again, afraid that she might have seen wrongly.

She had missed it before in front of her clinic. That day she took a few bites of her sandwich and wanted to look out the window, when she suddenly noticed a car parked outside.

It was exactly the same as Fu Yanxiu's car. How did she feel at the time?

First of all, she was happy, yes, she was actually happy.

Because after Fu Yanxiu sent her home last time, the two never met again.

She knew Fu Yanxiu, he might have given up.

As arrogant as he is, he can't always be a licking dog.

So when she saw the car, she was a little surprised, but as soon as she took a few steps and saw the license plate, her smile froze.

No, she was wrong.

How could it be Fu Yanxiu?
