The next day Ao Rui drove Ruotong to work as usual. As soon as he got off the car, Ruotong saw Ao Zhian getting out of the car at the same time in another corner of the parking lot. Then Ao Zhian walked around the other end of the car and opened the door.
The car door on the other side.
When Ruotong saw the old man getting out of the car, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
That's Ao Zhongming.
He was holding on to a cane and seemed to be recovering from a serious illness. His inconvenience in movement could not be compared with his former high spirits.
Ruotong's face darkened instantly. She turned around and instinctively wanted to escape, but was held back by Ao Rui. "Let me go," she protested softly.
"You have to face what you have to face. Are you going to run away for the rest of your life?" Ao Rui asked. He was not angry, but he just didn't want her to escape. As long as she was with him, she would have to face all difficulties and obstacles.
"If you hadn't asked me to play the bad woman, would I have needed to be in such a mess today?" Ruotong complained angrily to him.
She was the wife used by Ao Rui to fight against her father. When she thought of this fact, she felt chilled and resentful. He used her to hurt his father, and now he wants her to face it bravely. Is it still possible?
Would he be willing to let her cause another tragedy and completely push her into a dead end?
Ao Rui's eyes flashed with a complex and painful color, but he didn't say anything, he just grabbed her hand and wouldn't let her go.
At this time, Ao Zhian and Ao Zhongming had already walked in front of them.
"President." Ao Rui greeted Ao Zhongming politely. His attitude was not enthusiastic, but just polite.
Ao Zhongming focused his eyes on Ruotong, who had his head lowered, and said coldly to her: "You, raise your head and show me." He looked down at the slave kneeling on the ground like a lofty emperor, with an attitude
Disdainful.
Ruotong was hesitant to accept Ao Zhongming's suggestion. However, before she had time to make a decision, she heard Ao Zhian scolding her from the side: "Are you deaf? My dad asked you to raise your head."
"Zhi'an..." Ao Rui scolded his brother unhappily. "I told you that I will handle the matter between Ruotong and me on my own. You have no right to yell at her."
"Arui, are you crazy? You actually talk to your brother like this over a woman. Isn't your brotherhood no better than a woman?" The person who scolded Ao Rui this time was Ao Zhongming, who was dissatisfied.
Staring at Ao Rui, his face was bloodshot with anger.
Ao Rui glared at his father stubbornly, considering that he was still recovering from a serious illness so he didn't want to provoke him any more.
Ruotong felt very embarrassed. At this time, she saw Ao Zhongming pointing his crutch at her again and scolding her in a cold voice: "Lift your head and show me."
Ruotong's heart almost jumped to her chest. She knew she couldn't escape, so she could only bite the bullet. She slowly, slowly raised her head to face Ao Zhongming, and tried her best to give him a very forced smile.
When Ao Zhongming saw her, he was shocked at first, and then turned to contempt. "Are you Long Ruotong, the daughter of Long Qingshan?" This woman is so beautiful that she could conquer the country, but it is a pity that she is a disaster. He must not let it happen.
She stayed with Ari.
It seemed that Ao Zhongming knew everything. Ruotong nodded awkwardly.
"Hmph, you are not of good conduct yourself, but your father still has the nerve to sell you to us, Ah Rui? If you want to become a dragon and a phoenix, you have to see what kind of person you are. Do you think any woman can marry into the Ao family and become a young mistress? I advise you to still
Stop daydreaming and leave, I don't want to see you in Ao Group." Ao Zhongming ordered her coldly, his tone full of contempt and disgust.
He would know that Monroe was Long Ruotong, Long Qingshan's daughter. Ao Zhi'an told him when he got home last night. Although he was shocked and angry, he thought again, what if Long Qingshan asked Rui to marry his daughter?
, then he can use the reason that his daughter is a maid to refuse to fulfill the engagement. Even if Long Qingshan is dissatisfied, he can only blame himself for not educating his daughter well, and everything has nothing to do with their Ao family.
Ruotong once admitted to Ao Zhongming that she was a mistress and had had many men. Therefore, it was not wrong for him to scold her like this. However, it didn't matter that he humiliated her. He also humiliated her father, which made her very embarrassed.
And pain. Because my father was just an innocent victim from beginning to end.
"President, it is my request to let her work in Ao's. Even if you don't like her, you are not qualified to drive her away." Ao Rui confronted his father forcefully. Seeing his father and brother making things difficult for Ruotong, his heart was as sharp as a knife.
Jiao. He wanted to keep Ruotong by his side, but he didn't want her to get hurt. He could only do his best to protect her.
"Arui, even if this woman is your fiancée, she is just a prostitute..."
Ruotong's face turned pale.
"President..." Ao Rui scolded his father loudly, strongly expressing his dissatisfaction. "She is not a woman, she is the savior who saved my life." He faced his father coldly and spoke word by word.
Tell the truth.
"So what if I saved your life? Are you going to marry her shamelessly into your home and make the world laugh at her because she is your savior? Rui, there are many ways to express gratitude. You just need to give her
You can just send her away with a sum of money. There is really no need to sacrifice yourself. Do you still want to make me go to the hospital again and lie on the operating table to fight with death before you are willing to do it?" For the ignorant son Ao Zhongming,
I feel helpless and heartbroken.
A very cold smile appeared on the corner of Ao Rui's mouth. "If she hadn't saved me, you think you would still have the chance to accuse me here today, don't you?"
"You..." Ao Zhongming was so angry that he couldn't speak.
"President, you keep saying that you love my son, but in front of my savior, you not only have no gratitude at all, but also despise her. Is this the way you love me? Or do you think that my life is dangerous?
Is it necessary?" Ao Rui asked his father disdainfully.
Seeing that his father didn't speak, he added coldly. "President, the reason why I got killed was all because you lured the wolf into the house. Everything is thanks to you." Every word that spilled from his lips and teeth
Every word is laced with resentment.
"What...what?" Ao Zhongming looked at his son in disbelief, not understanding what his son meant.
"Brother, what are you talking about?" Ao Zhi'an couldn't understand what Ao Rui said.
Ruotong also looked at Ao Rui in confusion. His whole body exuded a cold aura that made it difficult for people to get close. His eyes looked full of resentment, and there was pain and pain hidden under the resentment.
desolate.
Tears suddenly welled up in her eyes. She really wanted to hug him tightly and give him warmth and support when he was so lonely and indifferent.
"One day, you will know." Ao Rui's tone was still cold without any warmth. After finishing speaking, he hugged Ruotong and strode away.
"Arui..."
"Brother..."
Ao Zhongming and Ao Zhian called out to Ao Rui at the same time, but Ao Rui turned a deaf ear.
"Dad, do you know what the elder brother means? What about luring a wolf into the house?" Ao Zhi'an was confused. Although he knew that his elder brother was being hunted, he didn't understand the reasons and details.
Ao Zhongming looked deep, silently thinking about Ao Rui's words. Luring the wolf into the house? Did Ao Rui mean that the people who wanted to kill him were the people around them? When he thought of this, his heart trembled involuntarily, and his whole body
There was a deep look of fear on his face.
After Ao Rui left the parking lot with Ruotong in his arms, Ruotong asked him carefully: "Have you found the murderer who killed you?"
Ao Rui looked forward, his cold aura still there, and did not answer Ruotong's question.
"Are you still in danger now?" Ruotong asked again. She was very worried about his situation.
Ao Rui stopped and stared at her worried face with an indifferent face. A faint smile slowly appeared at the corner of his mouth. "Are you worried about me?"
Ruotong's face flashed with embarrassment for a moment, and then she quickly realized that she shouldn't admit her feelings to him at this time. So she quickly made another excuse and said something that didn't mean what she said. "Shouldn't I be worried about you?
?If you are in danger, I will also suffer. I don’t want to die so early."
The smile on Ao Rui's face slowly faded. He could clearly see her sincere worry on her face. Was it because she was unwilling to admit her worries about him, or was she really worried about suffering the same fate as she said?
A flash of pain flashed through his heart, then he turned away and hugged her to leave.
Ruotong stared silently at his cold side face, her emotions so complicated that it was indescribable.
At the board meeting, Ao Rui was successfully elected as the new president of Ao's Group. When the results of the election were announced, there was applause. The directors' support and encouragement for Ao's were also full of confidence with Ao Rui's election.
Ao Zhongming looked at Ao Rui, who was supported by the directors, and had mixed feelings in his heart. It was undoubtedly the best choice to hand over the throne of president to Ao Rui, but who wanted to put his son to death?
After the board meeting, Ao Zhongming stopped Ao Rui in the hall. The directors withdrew knowingly, leaving only Ao Zhongming and his son in the hall.
"President." Ao Rui stepped forward and called his father coldly and politely.
"From today on, you are the new president. You don't have to call me president from now on." Ao Zhongming said with emotion.
"Yes, brother, you will be the president of Ao's from now on." Ao Zhian was truly happy for his brother.
Ao Rui lowered his eyes and remained silent, his handsome face showing no emotion.
"Arui, have you known for a long time who the person who wants to kill you is?" Ao Zhongming asked with concern. At this time, he was different from the indifference and contempt he had shown when he treated his son's savior in the parking lot this morning.
Completely different.
"Yes." Ao Rui stared at his father and answered without hesitation. There was still unbearable hatred deep in his pupils.
"Then who wants to kill you?" Ao Zhongming was very anxious, looking at his expressionless son sincerely, hoping that his son would tell him the real answer.
Ao Rui looked at Ao Zhongming, and then at Ao Zhian. After a while, he said coldly: "One day, you will know." He answered with reservations.
