Ever since she confirmed that Ao Zhongming was the one who wanted to make her a thorn in his side, Ruotong did not dare to go out easily. She had been waiting for a suitable opportunity to meet Ao Zhongming.
Before going to see Ao Zhongming, the housekeeper dialed the intercom phone in her room and told her that He Xueyi was calling to see her.
He Xueyi? Rui's stepmother? Ruotong didn't have a deep impression of her. He only met her twice, once in the mountains and the most recent time at the wedding.
Meeting He Xueyi twice, Ruotong thought she was an ordinary person. If Zhu Surong is a quiet and unique orchid, then He Xueyi is an ordinary jasmine.
From the time Ruotong and Ao Rui met until they got married, He Xueyi never showed any dissatisfaction with her, but she never showed any deliberate concern. So what is the matter with her calling now?
"Okay, turn the phone over." Ruotong told the housekeeper.
Then, the housekeeper transferred He Xueyi's call to her. "Hello, Auntie."
"Is it Ruotong?" He Xueyi's voice was very friendly.
Ao Zhongming sat next to her, staring at her expressionlessly.
"Yes, auntie, what do you want from me?" He Xueyi's kindness prevented Ruotong from feeling as nervous and oppressive as when she faced Ao Zhongming.
"Look, you and Rui have been married for so long, and I haven't been able to have a good chat with you. Do you think you have time to come to Ao's house tomorrow? I'm quite bored at home, so you should just accompany me to relieve my boredom.
, okay?" He Xueyi deliberately showed the elders' concern for the younger ones in order to make Ruotong relax his guard.
This was a legitimate opportunity to go to Ao's house. In this way, it wouldn't be abrupt for her to go to Ao Zhongming. "Okay, I'll go there tomorrow." Ruotong promised.
He Xueyi made an OK gesture to Ao Zhongming next to her, unable to hide the smile on her lips. Finally, she specially added, "If you don't know the way, ask the driver to take you here." There was a hint of sinisterness in her eyes.
The cold light, this is the purpose of her and Ao Zhongming.
"Well, I know." Ruotong didn't think much about it. Even if He Xueyi didn't remind her, she planned to ask the driver to take her there because she didn't know the way.
After ending the call, He Xueyi looked at Ao Zhongming happily. "It's done."
"That's good." Ao Zhongming's tense face finally relaxed a little.
He asked Black Snake to deal with that woman, but to his surprise, Ao Rui secretly sent two elite bodyguards to protect her. She was lucky! But this time, he wanted to see if she was still so lucky.
When Ao Rui came back in the evening, Ruotong mentioned today's incident to him.
"You're not allowed to go." Ao Rui said with a serious face.
"Why?" Ruotong blinked his clear and innocent eyes and asked in confusion.
"Anyway, remember, that woman is not a kind person." Ao Rui's tone was cold, and his black eyes were as deep as ancient wells.
"But she has never done anything excessive to me..." Ruotong looked at him longingly. In fact, she must find a chance to have a good talk with Ao Zhongming.
"Be obedient, don't go!" Ao Rui was a little angry, his attitude was very tough and he would not allow any compromise.
Ruotong clearly saw the flash of cold light in Ao Rui's eyes, like a sharp sword in the dark night, full of danger.
Even though the two had quarreled before, she had never seen Ao Rui with such murderous intent. A chill ran down her spine, and her intuition told her that Ao Rui disliked his stepmother very much.
Then, she opened her arms and hugged him gently, burying her little face on his chest, feeling his heartbeat. "Okay, I won't go." Although she didn't know what the secret was between him and He Xueyi, she believed him.
.
Ao Rui also reached out and hugged her petite body, resting his chin on her forehead, his dark eyes looking unfathomable.
"Then what reason should I use to refuse?" Ruotong asked softly.
"Say you're not feeling well." Ao Rui said succinctly.
"Okay. I will tell her tomorrow." Ruotong was very obedient.
Waking up in the middle of the night, Ruotong felt that her mouth and tongue were dry, so she gently opened the quilt, got up and went downstairs to drink water alone.
When going down the stairs, through the tall floor-to-ceiling windows, she accidentally saw a black figure appearing in the darkness. He wore a miniature flashlight on his head. He used the light of the flashlight to carefully observe the surrounding environment, and his movements were very cautious.
Ruotong rubbed his dazed eyes, thinking that he was just dazzled. But after looking again, he found that the black shadow was real. A ghost or a thief? Most of the security guards in this villa have a good background, and almost all of them are retired from the national army.
How could a soldier let an unknown person sneak in?
She squatted down and decided to find out. The black figure moved at an alarming speed and got into a car in a short time. He actually had a spare key to the car! This person should have come prepared. However, if he wanted to steal the car
, it seems impossible, you can’t just drive out in such a arrogant way?
So, what exactly does he want to do?
I saw him squatting down in front of the driver's seat, moving something with his hands. At the same time, he carefully observed the surrounding environment. After about a few minutes, he clapped his hands, with a satisfied smile on his face. Then he continued to watch.
After looking around to make sure he wasn't discovered, he slipped out of the car and disappeared in the darkness after a while.
An uneasy feeling came to Ruotong's mind. Could it be that that person had tampered with the parts of the car? No, she had to go and see whose car it was.
When she came to the spot where the black shadow had been just now, she frowned in confusion. This was the car where the driver, Lao Wang, was specially responsible for transporting her! Could it be that that person was specifically targeting her?
After lying back on the bed and sleeping, Ruotong opened her eyes and felt no sleep at all. She always felt that this matter was not simple.
"What's wrong, can't you sleep?" Ao Rui's low voice suddenly came from behind, and his big hands wrapped around her body possessively.
"It's nothing, go to sleep." Ruotong turned around and hugged him, hiding her emotions.
In the darkness, his sleeping face was still so handsome, with his long eyelashes hanging down, his usual indifference gone, and he was as innocent as a child.
"Arui." She gently touched his handsome face with her little hand and called him softly.
Ao Rui opened his eyes and looked at her puzzled. "What's wrong?"
Ruotong stopped what she was doing and looked into his dark eyes. "Will our child be born safely?" she asked uncertainly, her eyes as hazy as mist.
Ao Rui raised her head and placed a kiss on her forehead. "As long as I'm here, no one dares to touch even a hair of yours."
Even though she didn't know what would happen tomorrow, after receiving his promise, Ruotong's uneasy heart was slowly soothed by his firm strength. She buried her head in his chest, wrapped her small hands around his neck, and whispered
: "I will also protect our children."
Ao Rui's chin rested on her smooth black hair. "Sleep, don't think too much."
"Yeah." Ruotong obediently closed his eyes and went to sleep.
The next morning after Ao Rui went to work, Ruotong asked the auto mechanic to check the car that had been tampered with last night.
She had been waiting outside the car, looking a little anxious and uneasy. The housekeeper urged her several times and asked her to go back to the hall to wait, but she refused to leave. In the end, the housekeeper had to bring a soft imperial concubine chair for her to sit and rest.
When the maintenance man came out of the car, Ruotong stepped forward to greet him and asked impatiently: "Is there any problem?"
"The brake system is broken," the auto mechanic said succinctly.
Ruotong's face turned pale. Sure enough, that person came here with a purpose last night. Destroying the braking system is tantamount to indirect murder. If Ao Rui didn't stop her from going to Ao's house last night, if she didn't get up to drink water last night, then now
It's not just her who's lying in the hospital, but also the driver, Lao Wang...
Her father once warned her that because of Ao Zhongming's character, if he could not get rid of the child in her belly, he would kill her as well. But she did not expect that in order to achieve his goal, Ao Zhongming would do whatever it takes to harm innocent people.
people.
Yesterday, He Xueyi specially told her to ask the driver to take her there. In this way, He Xueyi did not simply want to get close to her, but to set a trap for her. It was indeed the best choice to do something unnoticed last night.
opportunity.
Waves of bone-gnawing chills surged through her heart, as if she was being hit by a violent storm on a winter night. In addition to fear, she was still terrified.
"Madam, how did you know there was something wrong with this car beforehand? I never heard Lao Wang mention it?" the auto mechanic asked Ruotong doubtfully.
"I had a dream last night that this car broke down." Ruotong casually found an excuse to deal with him.
Then she ordered the housekeeper beside her, "Uncle Li, please don't tell Ao Rui that I found something wrong with the car." If Ao Rui knew about it, he would definitely investigate the matter thoroughly, and it would definitely cause an uproar.
Although Uncle Li was confused, as a servant, he had to obey.
Ruotong returned to the living room in despair, but unexpectedly received a call from He Xueyi at this time.
"Ruotong, have you set off? I've been waiting for you at home for a long time." He Xueyi asked eagerly in front of Ao Zhongming.
"I'm sorry, Auntie, I'm not feeling well today, so I can't go." Ruotong's voice sounded breathless, as if she was sick. She was pretending this deliberately. She was almost sure that Ao Zhong
Ming was right next to He Xueyi, eavesdropping on her phone calls.
He Xueyi on the other end of the phone also heard it, and turned to look at Ao Zhongming beside her. Ao Zhongming's expression was not good. "Are you sick? Is the child okay?" She pretended to care about Ruotong as if nothing had happened.
He Xueyi's voice sounded really anxious and concerned. If it weren't for Ao Rui's reminder, Ruotong would really think that He Xueyi was a good person. However, people's hearts are often unpredictable. "It's just a little cold." She said
Just told a little lie.
"Okay, then you have a good rest and we will meet up another day when we are free." He Xueyi reminded him in particular.
Let's meet again when we have time? Ruotong immediately put up a mental alert and moved his eyes uneasily. "Okay, Arui and I will go over to see you when we have time." She concealed her emotions and tried to sound as calm as possible.
.
Ao Zhongming would not kill his biological son as well. This is the safest way.
When He Xueyi heard such words, her expression became stiff and she looked at Ao Zhongming at a loss.
