Chapter 27 Predictive Ability
At that moment, his mother's eyes were filled with hope, and though she had something to say, she couldn't bring herself to speak. He knew then that his mother hoped he would become an ordinary person in the future, a teacher in their small village, where although the quality of life was not high, he could help many children leave the mountains, face the world, and face themselves, and go further.
However, he couldn't tell his mother that it wasn't what he wanted; being a teacher was okay, but it wasn't something he could do for the rest of his life.
In his opinion, entering politics would be the only chance in this lifetime for him to get that family's attention.
He had no expectations for that family at all, but he was not reconciled to the fact that his mother was buried by those people, and even his father's death was blamed on his mother and him.
He is not reconciled, he does not admit defeat. Why can those with money and power look down on people like this? Is it just because they have reached a certain political height? Just because they have money, power and influence, can they be so arrogant and domineering?
So, he made a vow in his heart that after fulfilling his mother's wish, he would enter politics and pave a broad road for himself step by step, making those family members regret their past actions, regret what they did to his parents, forcing his parents to die early, leaving him without support or care, suffering from cold shoulders and bullying. He wouldn't hold any of these grudges.
Suddenly feeling a stronger sense of loneliness emanating from the man, Su Mo Rou couldn't help but look up at Tan Yun Ning and ask, "You want to be a teacher? Why?"
"Because my mom likes it." He couldn't help but want to take a few more glances at the woman in front of him, who had a faint smile and sparkling eyes. Those beautiful eyes made him hesitate for a moment before deciding to speak his mind.
Upon hearing this, I suddenly found myself unable to ask any further questions, after all, it was someone else's private matter.
"Do you have time? Let's find a place to sit down." Contrary to Su Mo Ruo's expectations, Tan Yun Ning actually took the initiative to invite her to sit down.
Two poor students, of course, could not afford to go to those cafes outside. They walked shoulder-to-shoulder on the spacious corridors within the school, found a step, and sat down side by side. The surroundings were only dimly lit, watching the couples strolling or whispering sweet nothings in the school's CAO field. Both of their faces were calm and composed, not considering this as eavesdropping at all, because they looked openly and honestly, without hiding their gaze.
"Aren't you curious why everyone says I'm the abandoned son of a wealthy family? Or, aren't you curious why I let the wealthy family abandon me?" A string of words that left Su Mo Ruo momentarily stunned. In the half month they'd known each other, this was his first time taking the initiative to talk to her about something, and it was such a long string of words at that.
The corners of his mouth wanted to curl up, but he found that this simple action, which was usually effortless, now seemed extremely difficult. He ended up giving up and explained from the side: "I'm just curious, why do you have such a strange surname."
When he heard this, Tan Yun Ning's eyes, as black as ink, glanced at Su Mo Ruo, "It's a habit."
I thought that after taking a glance at Tan Yun Ning, he would definitely give me an unusual answer, but unexpectedly, he actually gave such a three-word response, the corners of my eyes couldn't help but twitch slightly, and in my heart, I had a burst of silent ridicule. These three words were concise enough, and also polite enough.
In order not to break the friendly atmosphere that had just been established between the two, Su Mo Ruo spoke up first, enlivening the atmosphere. "By the way, Brother Shifu, didn't you say you wanted to be a teacher? Have you thought about where you want to go?"
"Hmm... go to Wuyun County, Er Gu Village." After a faint recovery, he returned to silence. A pair of black eyes couldn't see clearly what his true emotions were at this moment under the night sky, but Su Mo Ruo could feel the air of sadness on him.
As for the place he mentioned, it also showed great surprise, because what he said would be her hometown. Although there is a certain distance from Er Gu Village, fortunately, he had also heard of it, which belongs to the territory of Wuyun County.
"Wow, I knew it! I thought you were just a bookworm, but it turns out you've got your eyes on that little freshman girl!" The sudden burst of teasing laughter inserted itself into the quiet space between the two people, and in this silent CAO venue, it was especially jarring. Naturally, it also attracted the attention of many others still in the CAO venue, all of whom turned their gazes over to them.
Tan Yunning's face was icy cold, her thin lips lightly pursed, her emotions not showing on her face, but the chill around her body was gradually rising.
She looked at the clothes on her body, and a sense of helplessness arose in her heart. It seemed that she had no way to refute this, as the evidence was right there on her body. The only problem was, who could she explain it to, and who would believe her?
"Never mind those who are not related." Saying so, he pulled Su Mo and prepared to leave.
The person who shouted was a roommate of Tan Yunning's, and he didn't particularly like Tan Yunning's cold and aloof personality. Throughout their four years in university, all his classmates had some gossip to share with him, but Tan Yunning was the only one who didn't. Now that he had finally caught this ice block on a date with a freshman girl, he wasn't about to let it go so easily. When he saw the two of them preparing to leave, he couldn't help but reach out and stop them.
"Get out of the way." The two icy words, as cold as ice cubes, slammed into her dormitory friend's face.
"Can't you introduce yourself?" Blinking his eyes, facing this iceberg, he couldn't afford to be tough, otherwise he would only get beaten up. He still remembered that a year ago, a classmate in the dormitory was dissatisfied with this iceberg's behavior and wanted to beat him up, but unexpectedly got beaten up instead, almost losing his life. From then on, people in the dormitory also knew that this iceberg was not only cold, but also ruthless, beating people to death without even blinking an eye.
Although in the end, Tan Yunning's roommate retreated and let the two leave without continuing to pry, rumors have always been the fastest spreading seed. Overnight, by the next morning, from running on the CAO field to buying breakfast at the cafeteria to entering the classroom, she was subjected to countless gazes, and naturally could not avoid Song Xue Li's constant questioning.
For a whole week, these rumors have been non-stop, and it's clear that her thing with Tan Yunning has become the hottest topic of the week.
Although Tan Yunning, who has no money, can't be called a white knight, he still has noble blood and is outstanding in his own right, with a cold and proud temperament, overflowing talent, and together with Lin Huanxiang, they are known as the representatives of the poor prince and talented scholar, one warm and one cool, but they both have one common characteristic, that is, in their studies, they are all top-notch.
This matter has caused a big stir, and naturally, more people are paying attention to Su Mo Ruo. Recently, he has become a celebrity like Tan Yun Ning and Lin Han Xiang, and some secrets have also been dug up.
When everyone knew her family background, they all started comparing themselves with her one by one.
Before that, she and Lin Hanxiang were quite close. At the beginning of school, Lin Hanxiang sent her to the dormitory and asked her out for meals, which also sparked gossip.
Everyone has discovered a problem, that is, Su Mo Ruo's family environment is poor, and Lin Han Xiang and Tan Yu Ning are surprisingly similar. In the end, it's no wonder they can be together, it turns out to be this reason.
Inside the library, as long as Su Mo Ruo and Tan Yun Ning were there, the flow of people would increase greatly. The number of people borrowing books was like wave after wave, and all their eyes fell on Su Mo Ruo and Tan Yun Ning without exception.
Hiding can't solve any problems, so Su Mo and Tan Yun Ning could only use their disregard to deal with these people.
She finally found some time to rest over the weekend, but keeping 200,000 yuan in her dormitory was still a bit unbearable. So, she decided to deposit 50,000 yuan into each of two banks, which was a relatively large amount compared to 200,000 yuan. She split the money between two banks, believing it wouldn't arouse suspicion from others. As for the remaining money, she disguised herself once again and headed to a nearby securities trading house.
