"Excuse me, a pack of cigarette please."
"You are so punctual every day."
At the store across the company of the Su family, the shopkeeper looked at Han Sanqian with curiosity.
From someday three years ago, this young man started to appear here on time every day, three years as one day, rainy or sunny. At first, the shopkeeper still felt strange. Later, he gradually realised that whenever Su Yingxia left the company, he would also disappear.
The shopkeeper had a rough guess about Han Sanqian's identity, but he didn't point out since every family has a hard book to read. The son-in-law of the Su family is treated like a loser by the whole Yun City. Perhaps he doesn't want others to know his identity.
"I am idle anyway." Han Sanqian said with a smile.
The shopkeeper is a middle-aged man. He admired Han Sanqian's persistence very much. For three years, he appeared at 4: 30 every day on time, so that he could silently guard Su Yingxia.
"When are you going to pick her up from work? It is not a solution to look at her this way every day. " There were no guests in the store, and the shopkeeper started to chat with Han Sanqian.
Han Sanqian looked at the gate of the company of the Su family and smiled faintly, "Not yet."
"Little brother, I don't know if I can say a few words." The man asked.
“Of course.”
"I don't think you look like an ordinary person, how...how come you become a matrilocal son-in-low of the Su family?" Although the shopkeeper did not have penetrating eyesight, he had been contacting many guests every single day. In his eyes, Han Sanqian was different from others, even though he cannot tell how he felt. The shopkeeper just thought that he should not be a loser like everyone was talking about.
"With flesh and blood, I eat, drink, crap, and sleep like everyone else. Of course, I am just an ordinary person." Han Sanqian said.
"You know that's not what I meant." The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment, then continued, "If I were you who has been humiliated so much, I would have collapsed."
Collapse?
Han Sanqian smiled. As an abandoned son joined the Su family, Su Yingxia did not collapse. How could he be qualified to collapse?
In the eyes of others, Han Sanqian has been enduring humiliations.
But in Han Sanqian's eyes, Su Yingxia suffered much more cruel taunts than he did.
"What I have endured is nothing compared with her." Han Sanqian said.
The shopkeeper sighed and said nothing more.
When Su Yingxia came off work, Han Sanqian, as usual, said goodbye to the shopkeeper and rode off on a small electronic bike.
Su Yingxia stood at the gate of the company until Han Sanqian disappeared in her eyesight.
Over the last three years, Han Sanqian has been waiting for Su Yingxia to leave work every day.
While Su Yingxia also waits for Han Sanqian to leave and then gets into her car.
Back home, when Su Guoyao told Jiang Lan what had happened at the meeting, Jiang Lan seemed crazy.
"Su Yingxia, are you crazy? Have you ever thought about how we will live after being expelled from the Su family?"
"Su Haichao intentionally irritated you. Don't you know what his aim is?"
Su Yingxia said calmly, "He doesn't want us to divide the property of the Su family."
Jiang Lan was livid with anger when she heard these words. She shouted, "Why did you promise since you knew? They did not make it, how can you?"
Su Yingxia's mood was very complicated. She believed Han Sanqian, but she did not know whether she was right or wrong.
Though their family's position in the company is inferior, if the grandmother died, they can still get a certain sum of money. But if they were driven out of the Su family, they would get nothing.
Believing in Han Sanqian with the cost of the future fate is adventurous. But she cannot take back what she had said.
"Mom, are you so distrustful of me?" Su Yingxia said.
Jiang Lan was so angry that she beat her chest and stamped her feet. She said, "How can I trust you? All the relatives of the Su family have been rebuffed. Whereby can you make it?"
Whereby?
Su Yingxia didn't know. She promised to this matter, all because of Han Sanqian's message.
At this time, Han Sanqian returned home, walked to Su Yingxian's side and said to Jiang Lan, "Mom, you should believe her, Yingxia can definitely make it."
Jiang Lan glanced impatiently at Han Sanqian and said coldly, "What is the relationship between this and you? If you hadn't been married to our family, with the beauty of my daughter, she would definitely marry into a rich and powerful family. You have ruined us and are not qualified to speak."
Han Sanqian was silent and went to the kitchen to cook.
"Han Sanqian, can I trust you?" Su Yingxia suddenly said to Han Sanqian.
Han Sanqian turned his head and said with a smile, "Yes."
"What is going on?" Jiang Lan saw that something was wrong and hurriedly asked Su Yingxia. Did she make that promise because of this loser?
"Come here and make it clear. Did you also mix into this thing? You made Yingxia promise?" Jiang Lan interrogated Han Sanqian.
Su Yingxia understood that if Jiang Lan knew about the text, she would undoubtedly embarrass Han Sanqian and even expel him out of their home.
"Mom, I made the decision and it has nothing to do with him." Su Yingxia said.
"It doesn't matter. I think you lost your mind because of this loser. How can you believe what he said? Su Yingxia, are you crazy?" Jiang Lan grabbed Su Yingxia's shoulders, due to her excitement, Su Yingxia's shoulders got painful.
Looking at Su Yingxia's painful face, Han Sanqian's expression suddenly became as cold as ice. Holding Jiang Lan's wrist, he said coldly, "Tomorrow you will know whether Yingxia can make it. Why don't you want to believe her?"
Jiang Lan was utterly furious. Since when it was the turn of this loser to talk?
"Let off me. You have no right to speak in our family." Jiang Lan said.
Han Sanqian looked at Jiang Lan coldly and refused to let her go. It was the first time he had shown such strength in the Su family.
Looking into Han Sanqian's eyes, Jiang Lan suddenly felt weak, as if he was going to kill her.
Seeing that something went wrong, Su Guoyao hurried up to appease, "Let go first. It's already like this. What's the use of the fuss? Now we can only try our best to let Yingxia complete it."
After Jiang Lan let off Su Yingxia, Han Sanqian loosened his hands and said to Su Yingxia, "I am going to cook."
Jiang Lan gnashed her teeth in hatred, looked at her red wrist and said maliciously, "Sooner or later, I will think of some way to get you out of our family, loser."
While dinner, Jiang Lan did not sit at the table. Su Guoyao said a lot about Ruoshui real estate. He was also terrified because if Su Yingxia did not succeed tomorrow, Su Haichao and the other relatives would never give them a break. If they got expelled from the Su family, they would be doomed.
After dinner, Han Sanqian took a shower and returned to the room to find Su Yingxia sitting on the bed and gazing at him straight.
Han Sanqian, lying on the floor, said to Su Yingxia, "The boss of Ruoshui real estate is a classmate of mine."
"Oh." Su Yingxia replied simply and did not continue to ask.
The room was so quiet that the needles falling onto the floor could be heard. For three years, it had not changed, day in and day out.
But Su Yingxia's mood is a bit different tonight, especially when Han Sanqian grabbed Jiang Lan's hand just now. That kind of look of him, Su Yingxia had never seen before.
"Don't wait for me at the company anymore." Su Yingxia said abruptly.
Han Sanqian was slightly surprised. He didn't expect Su Yingxia to know about it.
“OK”.
Su Yingxia turned her back on Han Sanqian and clenched her lips. There were inexplicable ripples in her heart.
She always thought she could divorce Han Sanqian easily. But when Jiang Lan brought it up yesterday, she found herself couldn't do it.
This man, no matter how coward and useless he is, has been by her side for three years.
No matter how bad the external comments on him are and how cold her attitude towards him is, he always smiles brightly in front of her.
People's hearts are made of flesh, and Su Yingxia doesn’t have a heart of stone. Now she realises that she has long been used to having him around.
"Pick me up at the gate of the company."
Han Sanqian felt like being struck by lightning, he stared at the back of Su Yingxia, and his astonished expression gradually became happy.
Su Yingxia could not see Han Sanqian's expression and did not hear his answer for a long time. She thought he didn't want to, thus said discontentedly, "If you don't want to, forget it."
Han Sanqian sat up immediately and said excitedly, "I...do, yes, I do."
Su Yingxia felt Han Sanqian's excitement, and two lines of bright tears slipped like pearls. It turned out that he wanted very little.
“I am sorry for the last three years.”
