Chapter 54: Isn’t This Quite the Coincidence

Madam Su’s face was lit with laughter, her head nodding incessantly.
“This villa is truly wonderful. It looks beautiful, and I like it very much!”
Hearing her express such satisfaction, the Su family members nearby immediately began flattering her.
“Grandmother, for you to take a liking to this villa is a blessing for the property itself!”
“That’s right, ordinary houses can’t catch your eye!”
“This villa isn’t even expensive. It’s perfect for you to enjoy your twilight years in comfort!”
As the Su family members unanimously praised the villa, the saleswoman leading the group was overjoyed.
She quickly said, “You all have excellent taste. This villa was originally reserved by the chairman of Zhao Group for himself, but he didn’t end up using it, so it’s now being offered at a low price. If you buy it, you’ll be making an incredible deal!”
“Come, let me show you the main building. The interior decoration is exquisite—truly the finest I’ve ever seen! All the furnishings and appliances are complete. You can move in straight away—it’s absolutely convenient!”
As she spoke, the saleswoman took a ring of keys from her waist and walked up to the main entrance, ready to unlock the door.
The Su family followed her closely.
But just then, the door swung open by itself, and a man’s voice greeted them.
Who else could it be but Jiang Hao!
“Jiang Hao!”
“How are you here!”
“What are you doing here!”
Everyone was startled, their eyes fixed on Jiang Hao in shock.
Zhang Liping, Su Bingming, and Su Tianming all looked at him with overt hostility, as if they wished to strangle him on the spot.
Among the crowd, Su Qingli stared at Jiang Hao in disbelief.
She truly hadn’t expected Jiang Hao to appear here.
Was he here to look at the villa as well? Was he planning to buy it?
Could he possibly have so much money?

Moreover, why was he alone? Even if he were here to view the property, the saleswoman or an advisor from Zhao Group’s sales center should be accompanying him!
Jiang Hao smiled at everyone. “Are you all surprised to see me? But there’s no need to be. I’m here to do some cleaning.”
When they heard him say “cleaning,” the entire Su family suddenly understood.
So Jiang Hao had found a new job—as a cleaner in this villa!
For a moment, they had thought the villa belonged to him!
Su Tianming snorted derisively. “Jiang Hao, I thought you’d finally made it big, transformed yourself into a wealthy man, but now you’re working as a cleaner! Seems your days have not improved since leaving the Su family!”
As soon as he finished, Zhang Liping sneered.
“Jiang Hao, didn’t you say you’d live better without the Su family? Look at yourself now! You’re a cleaner. Aren’t you ashamed?”
Jiang Hao showed no anger; instead, he chuckled inwardly.
These fools! He’d casually mentioned cleaning, and they believed it immediately, completely misunderstanding the situation.
Let’s see what they’ll say once the truth is revealed!
“Yes, I’m ashamed. I couldn’t be more ashamed, all right? You’re here to view the villa, aren’t you? Put on the shoe covers so you don’t dirty the place—otherwise I’ll get in trouble.”
He turned and fetched a handful of shoe covers.
The saleswoman was now staring at Jiang Hao in confusion.
She’d never heard of the company assigning a cleaner to this villa in the eastern suburbs.
Moreover, the man looked familiar, as though she’d seen him somewhere before.
But she couldn’t recall where, so she went along, saying, “Everyone, please put on the shoe covers before entering. Let’s keep the floors clean. Once you buy the villa, you can do as you please.”
So the Su family members all donned shoe covers and filed into the villa’s hall, wandering about.
Su Tianming had lost interest in viewing the villa. All he wanted now was to ridicule Jiang Hao, to mock him.
It was nothing but revenge for what happened at the bank!
“Jiang Hao, weren’t you arrogant that day? Weren’t you so proud? Let’s see you act tough now! Can you still be cocky?”
He burst out laughing.

Su Bingming walked over and glared coldly at Jiang Hao. “Jiang Hao, as your father-in-law, I feel utterly ashamed! You should divorce my daughter as soon as possible. I never want to see you again!”
“Dad, can you please say less?”
Su Qingli stepped forward, helplessly protesting to Su Bingming.
He glared at her. “What did I say that was wrong? Qingli, our Su family is a prominent clan in Maple Leaf City. Your husband’s working as a cleaner—how humiliating would that be if word got out? If you don’t mind the shame, we certainly do!”
“Exactly! Look at how wretched Jiang Hao is now. It’s disgraceful! The Su family can do any kind of work, but being a cleaner is unacceptable!”
Zhang Liping strode over, her face full of disdain as she looked at Jiang Hao.
The other Su family members also cast mocking glances at him.
Su Qingli was both embarrassed and helpless. She came before Jiang Hao and lowered her voice.
“Jiang Hao, be honest with me. You’re not really a cleaner, are you? I don’t believe you’d take such a job—it’s simply impossible.”
“Whether I am or not, what does it matter to you?”
Jiang Hao replied indifferently.
His words struck Su Qingli like a knife.
She dropped her head in disappointment, and after a long pause, finally looked up and said,
“Can’t the past be forgotten? We could start over, you know. I promise—I swear—I’ll never treat you like I did before. Isn’t that enough? Wouldn’t that satisfy you?”
“The past cannot be changed or forgotten, so it isn’t a matter of satisfaction.”
Jiang Hao turned away, his tone cold.
Zhang Liping snorted. “Qingli, what’s the point in saying all this to him? Even if you accept him, we don’t! Sooner or later, you’ll have to divorce him!”
Su Bingming added, “Your mother’s right. The Su family will never allow a cleaner to be our son-in-law. The sooner you divorce him, the better.”
Just as he finished, the saleswoman suddenly remembered something, spun around and stared at Jiang Hao in shock.
“Jiang Hao? Your name is Jiang Hao? Oh my god, you really bought this villa? I’m in big trouble—this is a huge mistake!”
