He Ju’s eyes were red, and his face was full of sorrow, looking at Su Ran with disappointment.

Su Ran was really stunned. She had never seen He Ju with such an expression before.

After Qiu Shaoze came to his senses, although he didn’t dare to entangle with the crazy He Ju, he also left a harsh word: “He Ju, you wait for me!!!”

He Ju just glanced coldly at Qiu Shaoze, who was beaten up by him, and then turned and left.

It was a waste of his saliva to say more to such a person.

Su Ran couldn’t help but call out with some grievance: “He Ju…”

However, He Ju couldn’t be bothered to pay attention to her.

Su Ran found that she seemed to have messed things up again, all because of Qiu Shaoze.

Su Ran turned around and glared fiercely at Qiu Shaoze: “It’s all your fault, meddling in other people’s business!”

Qiu Shaoze was dumbfounded: “Please, Miss Su, I was just helping you get revenge and ended up provoking He Ju, that crazy dog.”

Su Ran was almost infuriated: “Qiu Shaoze, can’t you keep your mouth clean? Just because the Qiu family and the Su family are close, you think I have no bottom line. If you provoke me, your Qiu family won’t have it easy either!”

Qiu Shaoze smiled: “Just for a poor boy you don’t even care about, are you willing to break everything off with me?”

Su Ran: “You…”

Qiu Shaoze: “Su Ran, admit it, you and I are the most compatible. Whether it’s family background or temperament, you, like me, are selfish.”

“Otherwise, why did you take action against He Ju? Just because you were afraid that He Ju would harm the relationship between the Qiu family and the Su family?”

Su Ran’s hand holding the bag tightened slightly. He Ju could see what she was thinking. She was already very unhappy, and now there was Qiu Shaoze.

Su Ran took a deep breath: “Qiu Shaoze, don’t try to guess my thoughts with your so-called logic. The matter between He Ju and me doesn’t need your intervention.”

After speaking, Su Ran wanted to leave, and Qiu Shaoze quickly spoke up: “Marry me. You can do your thing, and I’ll do mine. Even if you want to be with He Ju, I have no objection. How about it? Consider it?”

Su Ran stopped in her tracks, turned around, and stared at Qiu Shaoze in disbelief: “What nonsense are you talking?”

Qiu Shaoze pointed to his bruised and swollen face from being beaten by He Ju: “Su Ran, if you agree, I’ll consider today’s incident as if it never happened. If you don’t agree, I’ll go get my injuries checked, and I’ll make sure He Ju goes to jail for a few years. Do you believe me?”

Su Ran laughed in exasperation: “Qiu Shaoze, are you the crazy dog here? Biting whoever you catch?”

Qiu Shaoze smiled, but there was no hint of amusement in his eyes: “Su Ran, you know, the Qiu family and the Su family are the best match. I am infinitely tolerant of you, and I even allow you to have affairs. Why don’t you know how to appreciate it?”

Su Ran spat out a “pah!” and turned around to quickly find He Ju.

Only then did Qiu Shaoze reveal a painful and unbearable expression, grinning and showing his teeth.

Two people quickly rushed over from a distance to support Qiu Shaoze: “Brother, why do you have to marry Su Ran? There are so many women in the world…”

Qiu Shaoze was extremely annoyed: “Do you think I want to? It’s just that the old man gave me a death order. If I want to inherit the family property, I have to marry Su Ran. Besides, Su Ran also has someone she likes. After we get married, we’ll go our separate ways, and no one will control me. Isn’t that great?”

“But I don’t think Su Ran is that simple…”

Qiu Shaoze: “What do you think Su Ran is? If she wanted to be with He Ju, she would have been with him a long time ago. What does that have to do with me? In this matter, as long as He Ju is willing, Su Ran will benefit.”

“Then, boss, if you get married, will you touch Su Ran?”

Qiu Shaoze: “I only touch my own woman! I wouldn’t touch someone else’s woman. I’m worried about getting infected!”

—

Qiu Shaoze’s voice gradually faded away.

Su Ran didn’t hear any of these words.

At this moment, she was standing at the door of the operating room, feeling guilty as she waited for He Ju to come out.

It wasn’t He Ju’s fault for what happened just now. He really couldn’t afford to offend Qiu Shaoze. People like He Ju, from a small family, should avoid trouble.

Su Ran waited for an hour before she could finally go in. He Ju’s nose was wrapped in gauze, and he looked very haggard.

Su Ran couldn’t help but feel a little sorry: “How are you? Feeling better?”

The doctor said, “It was a minor surgery, just a few stitches. It’s nothing serious. The injury is on the bridge of the nose, so it will hurt for a few days.”

After speaking, the doctor left, and He Ju couldn’t be bothered to say a word to Su Ran.

It was really hard for Su Ran. She actually had the perseverance to stay by his side.

Su Ran said, “Brother He Ju, I know you probably don’t want to see me right now, but don’t worry, I won’t let Qiu Shaoze hurt you. You rest well first. I’ll leave now, and I’ll come to see you again tomorrow.”

He Ju ignored her. After a while, Su Ran came back with a food box: “Inside is corn and pork rib soup. I just bought it. Drink it while it’s hot.”

He Ju thought Su Ran was about to leave, but she came back again: “He Ju, I know you probably have grievances against me right now, but you also know that I’ve hardly ever had any experience with love. When you confessed to me, I really didn’t know how to handle it, and things got out of hand…”

“I hope you can give me some time to think about our relationship.”

He Ju finally spoke: “Su Ran, what makes you think that I will stand still just because you ask?”

Su Ran opened her mouth to say something, but in the end, she just sighed: “You went to Yunnan, and you weren’t alone, were you? Who is that girl? You spent such a long time alone with her, and you didn’t explain it to me either.”

He Ju: “In your eyes, am I just someone who, after a failed confession, looks for a woman to ease my loneliness?”

“`He Ju: “You’ve not only insulted me, but you’ve also casually insulted a girl who you don’t even know!”

He Ju: “Also, where I go, who I go with, why should I explain to you? Who are you to me? Am I obligated to report to you?”

Su Ran fell silent for two seconds: “That’s not what I meant.”

He Ju, with a splitting headache: “But every word you say means that! Su Ran, all these years, I’ve really underestimated you! Who knew your inner world was so rich?”

He Ju had actually thought Su Ran was a naive young lady.

Su Ran felt an uncontrollable sense of grievance, so much so that tears were swirling in her eyes.

She went to Yunnan to find him, fainted from standing in the rain at his doorstep, took care of his parents…

Aren’t all these things enough to prove her sincerity?

Why does He Ju insist on hurting her with his words?

Su Ran wanted to explain: “I…”

He Ju closed his eyes: “Stop talking, I don’t want to see you, leave!”

Su Ran stood still, tears falling like beads off a broken string: “Aren’t you also making random guesses about me? Are you so sure that what you think is right? Brother He Ju, why have we come to this point?”
