Lin Ruoxi's first reaction when she saw Xiao Shuai was surprise. However, besides being surprised, there was a faint emotion similar to uneasiness in her heart, which she couldn't explain.
Before she could recover, Xiao Shuai strode forward and grabbed her slender wrist, "Ruoxi, why are you here!"
Xiao Shuai's strength was so strong that it made Lin Ruoxi's wrist hurt. She shook it twice but did not shake it away. Then she frowned and exhaled, and gave the person in front of her a crying smile, "Senior Xiao, don't you?"
Are you there?"
Xiao Shuai said nothing, but looked at her with burning eyes. After a while, he spoke with difficulty: "Lin Ruoxi, do you owe me an explanation!?"
Lin Ruoxi's expression suddenly changed, and a wave of anger and grievance came over her.
She just wants to be herself honestly and live a decent life. Why is there always so much irrelevant criticism and embarrassment? What has she done and what has she done wrong?! Xiao Zhengguo can warn her and insult her at will, but now
She has to face Xiao Shuai's accusations and questions again!
Lin Ruoxi's eyes widened fiercely, forcing back the tears that were swirling in her eyes. Her stubborn eyes met his gaze, and she said word by word: "Xiao Shuai, I don't owe you anything!" After that,
He shook his arms vigorously, trying to break away from his grasp.
Xiao Shuai held her tightly and wouldn't let go. While the two of them were pulling, his gaze was cast to somewhere in the banquet hall. After seeing the person standing in the middle of the crowd like a star over the moon, his mood suddenly became excited.
Get up, "Is it because of him? Tell me! Is it because of him?"
Lin Ruoxi was stunned for a moment. Before she could understand who Xiao Shuai meant by "him", she heard him say excitedly: "Ruoxi, no matter what your reasons are, leave him. People like Tang Hongxuan will not treat you like this."
Sincerely, please don't be stupid! Don't do this, don't destroy yourself for money. If you really have any difficulties, I can help you, I..."
"Xiao Shuai." A cold and cold tone interrupted his subsequent words. Lin Ruoxi stopped struggling. She looked at the anger flashing in his eyes and her voice trembled. "Please tell me clearly, what does 'no matter what is for the sake of' mean?"
"Leave him everything", what do you mean by "destroying myself without money"?! Please make it clear!"
Xiao Shuai also calmed down a lot at this time. He looked at the person in front of him and closed his eyes. "Many people in the school are spreading rumors that you are being kept by a rich man. I don't believe it, but..." He paused
After a pause, he continued with difficulty: "But at noon today, I saw you and that man with my own eyes... and then you got into his car."
"Ha..." Lin Ruoxi shook her head and chuckled. She held down Xiao Shuai's hand that was holding her wrist and opened it fiercely.
She looked at him with sadness and pain in her eyes.
She once regarded him as a trustworthy brother and friend. She never even felt angry with him because of his father's insult to her. She even felt a little heartache at the moment when she decided to cut off all contact with him. She thought he understood her too.
, at least he should know her, but it turns out...
That's all. Anyway, nothing matters anymore.
Lin Ruoxi took a deep breath and gave Xiao Shuai an extremely ugly expression. She spoke softly, with a hint of farewell in her tone, "Xiao Shuai, you have helped me a lot, and I am very grateful to you. From now on, I will always be with you."
Pretend you and I have never known each other before!" After saying that, she turned around to leave, but heard Xiao Shuai's hoarse voice behind her...
"Ruoxi..."
Lin Ruoxi stopped but didn't look back.
"Ruoxi, do you like him?"
Her thin body trembled, and her sweaty hands squeezed the hem of her skirt.
"Lin Ruoxi, I like you..."
…………
Although Xiao Shuai's "I like you" was not as powerful as a man's "Be my woman", it was enough to shock Lin Ruoxi and make her unable to recover for a long time.
She turned around and looked at him, her face and eyes filled with disbelief. Her slightly opened red lips trembled, but in the end she still didn't utter a single word.
So what if I like him, Xiao Shuai's like is like the fireworks in the night sky, no matter how gorgeous they are, they are fleeting. People who are not from the same world will not last long after all.
Lin Ruoxi closed her eyes, gritted her teeth and turned around. Just as she raised her feet, she was stunned again.
Two steps away in front of her, Xiao Zhengguo stood there without knowing when. His face was as dark as water, and a pair of piercing eyes stared at her with a strong warning and disdain. His gaze was as cold and sharp as a knife.
Lin Ruoxi couldn't help but laugh at herself, lowered her eyes, and walked away.
As they passed by, Xiao Zhengguo's cold and contemptuous voice reached his ears, "I always thought Miss Lin would be a self-respecting girl."
Lin Ruoxi paused in her steps and tightened her grip on the hem of her skirt. She turned her head, looked at Xiao Zhengguo, and smiled coldly, her eyes full of stubbornness and contempt, "I always thought Director Xiao was a humble gentleman." After that, she said
He straightened his back and strode off the balcony without stopping for a step.
…………
Night, dark.
Cool as water.
On the sidewalk, a beautiful girl with messy hair and a little black dress walked forward in tears and in despair. Not far behind the girl, a black Maybach followed slowly at an extremely snail's speed.
Finally, when they reached a sparsely populated road, the black car suddenly accelerated and passed her. Then it quickly raised its head and drew a graceful arc across the car in front of her, blocking the way.
The car door opened, and a tall and straight man stood elegantly in front of her, "Ruoxi, have you had enough?"
Lin Ruoxi raised her head, looked at him and laughed softly, "You did it on purpose, right?" He deliberately brought her to this place, deliberately letting her meet the Xiao family father and son at the same time to embarrass her. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence?
Otherwise, as soon as she left the balcony, she would have seen him standing there with an expression of watching a good show.
Tang Hongxuan looked at her and sighed. He deliberately wanted to embarrass her, but he relented halfway through the matter. Otherwise, with his methods, it would only be such a painless little fight. But Tang Hongxuan
But one thing they have overlooked is that the more inferior a person is, the stronger their self-esteem is. This is Lin Ruoxi.
"Ruoxi, why don't you follow me?"
"What are you doing with me? Being your mistress? Just because you are powerful and rich?" Lin Ruoxi asked him back, crying and laughing, and then snorted lightly, saying in an extremely contemptuous and disgusting tone: "I don't care about it.
Do not care!"
"I said I'm not a mistress!" Tang Hongxuan suppressed his anger and tried to speak as softly as possible, "Ruoxi, be good, stop making trouble." As he said this, he stretched out his hand to wipe the tears on her face, but she turned her head to avoid it.
past.
The tear stains on his face showed undisguised disgust.
