Chapter 42 Spring Festival Travel Rush

  Because tomorrow is the exam, Sumojo didn't stay outside anymore. The car stopped at the school gate and she got out directly by pushing the door open.

  By her ear, however, came the old man's voice, "Little girl, an old woman has no children all her life, I don't know if she has the honor to invite you when you have time to accompany me and chat?" As if thinking that Su Mo might regret it, he explained: "This time, I just came over to deal with some things, and it shouldn't take more than three months."

  Her eyebrows slightly furrowed, this old lady's first encounter with him was not pleasant, but for someone who is also lonely, her heart always has an uncontrollable sympathy and heartache. At this moment, she began to hesitate in her heart, unsure whether to answer or refuse.

  "Little girl, the old lady hasn't felt this kind of closeness for decades. I always think that we should be like grandmother and grandson. I won't be able to stay here for long, you shouldn't be afraid that I'll abduct you, right?" The words were spoken with affection, but as they entered Su Mo's ears, she heard another layer of meaning.

  At this moment, she didn't think much and turned around directly. "I've been very busy lately, and during the New Year, I'll also go back to my hometown to spend it with my mom. It's almost a month here, and I won't have time for you." She explained her schedule clearly.

  The old lady listened to these words, and didn't insist on it. Instead, she smiled and nodded her head, "It's all up to you, as long as you have time, I hope to bother you for some time to accompany this old woman who is half dead."

  He nodded slightly and said, "I'll go in first." Then his figure disappeared before the old man's eyes.

  "Boss, have you really made up your mind?" The driver's seat was occupied by a woman in her 40s, who looked at the old lady with some worry. She had returned to China only because the boss's roots were here. Having no children to inherit her vast legacy, she had decided to return to China to explore for a while. If she could find someone suitable to take over, that would be best. But if not, the boss had already made up her mind to sell the company and donate all of her assets to the country - China. As employees, they naturally hoped the company would stay, as it was where many people made their living. If the company were sold, it would mean thousands of employees would lose their jobs and income, having to find new work, which wasn't a good thing for them. This matter was a secret within the company, known only to her, the boss's trusted secretary, who had accompanied the boss to China personally.

  For her, knowing who the boss's satisfactory successor is would be best, but this young girl is not even twenty and still a university student. Can someone like that manage the boss's enormous enterprise well?

  "You don't understand Huichen, but one day you'll know why I did this." His descendants, how far can they go? Moreover, this girl's experience is full of twists and turns, seemingly cold but in fact, from those eyes, she can feel her intense loneliness and talent. She has been observing her for more than just a day, at such a young age, achieving so much already counts as rare and precious, being able to hand over the company to her is also considered a lifelong regret-free decision.

  At these words, the woman named Huiqin at the driver's seat closed her mouth. Although there was still some hesitation and worry in her eyes, overall, she had been persuaded by this boss who had always been very persuasive to her.

  This girl just hopes that with time, she can make all her subordinates believe in her.

  "Let's drive, I'm tired today." In the back seat, the old lady looked very tired, closed her eyes, and seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep.

  Listening to this, Huaiqin shook her head, and her heart felt a bit bitter. The boss had insisted on it for a lifetime, from those hard times all the way to the present, she had never complained even half a word, using her not-so-strong shoulders to support the entire group. She was just a little girl back then, but now she has become the object of her admiration. Now that she's old and her body isn't well, ever since she came of age, she knew that this life wasn't lived for herself, and after becoming her secretary, she knew even more clearly that she was alive because there was a conviction in her heart that had been supporting her all along, letting her support the group and not let it fall.

  After all these years, she finally has an heir that she likes, and can finally put her mind at ease.

  At this moment, she was also happy for her in her heart. At least, she could put down the burden in her heart and be a little more relaxed and happy in the last days of her life in this world.

  Back in the dormitory, everyone was still awake, having just finished class, and were washing up one by one. As soon as Song Xue saw her come in, she pounced on her body.

  Although she wasn't on guard, her physical strength was better than others, so when she rushed up like this, she only took a small step back and stabilized her body. "Didn't I tell you not to go out?" She looked at Su Mo Ruo with some blame, still worried that Jiang Yu would take revenge on her after all, as everyone knew about Jiang Yu's tactics.

  She took a glance at Song Xue Li, peeled her off from herself, "Not going out, can I hide for a lifetime? Don't worry, I'll handle the matter." Song Xue Li was really concerned about her, so she wouldn't say anything like not needing her help.

  Although I think Sumo said it's also very right, but still can't help worrying about Sumo encountering danger, furrowing his brow and pulling her to sit down beside his bed, "Even if you don't hide for a lifetime, recently the relationship between you two is still too stiff, time won't pass quickly, this stiff relationship won't immediately ease up, you should at least get through this tense period."

  "Don't worry, I've already taken care of it." Although Song Xue Li said words that were all about caring for her, the matter had already been resolved, so she didn't want to let her continue to indulge in fanciful thoughts and worries for herself, giving herself pressure.

  As soon as she heard this, Song Xue Li's mouth was instantly stunned and her eyes widened in surprise, staring at Su Mo Ruo, "You've resolved it, how did you resolve it?"

  "Yeah, I ran into her today, but the matter has been settled, don't worry about it. She won't bother me again in the future." If she still doesn't know what's good for her after today, then I wouldn't mind giving her another dose of strong medicine to make her remember for life.

  "Huh? - I feel a chill. " Song Xue Li listened, her body twitching slightly, her eyes staring straight at Su Mo Ruo.

  Su Mo Ruo seemed very calm and didn't even bother to look at Song Xue Li's gaze.

  The exam time has arrived, and in the face of the exam, Su Mo is calm and composed, while Song Xue Li, who usually looks cheerful, appears somewhat serious. This doesn't mean her grades are bad or that she's not clever, but rather because she's very intelligent, yet due to her birth and family background, as the sole heir, she carries a heavier burden than many others. For many people, this exam might just be pressure, but for Song Xue Li, it's repeated terror and infinite stress.

  For several days, Su Mo's ears had been unusually quiet during the exams, but seeing Song Xue completely different from before made him feel a bit uncomfortable in his heart. He shook his head, habit was truly a terrifying thing.

  Thinking that she would soon be back to see her foster mother, Su Mo Ruo's heart was overjoyed. After the exam, Song Xue Li said out loud how she felt about these past few days: She seemed very happy, it was all written on her face.

  It sounds hard to believe for people who know Su Mo Ruo, but after seeing her, they would all realize that the cold aura around her had lightened up a lot in these few days. The faint smile at the corner of her mouth and the gentle smile that occasionally appeared made people feel that the iceberg seemed to have melted a little.
