As soon as Xiao's mother regained her freedom, she knelt down to Lin Ruoxi with a "pop" sound.
Lin Ruoxi was frightened for a moment. Full of surprise and doubt, she hurriedly reached out to help her, "Get up quickly! No matter what happens, you should stand up first before talking, okay?!"
"No, I can't get up!" Xiao's mother shook her head with tears streaming down her face, but refused to get up. She grabbed her clothes tightly with both hands, like a drowning person grasping a life-saving straw, and begged bitterly, "
Miss Lin, I beg you, please save Xiao Shuai! Only you can save him now!"
Lin Ruoxi pulled Xiao's mother twice but did not pull her up. She had no choice but to squat down in front of her, "Why should I save Xiao Shuai? What happened to Xiao Shuai? What happened to him?"
"He is still in the detention center. There is no place for people to stay there. He...save him quickly!"
"Detention center?!" Lin Ruoxi was shocked, "Why is he in that kind of place!? Isn't he going to Germany!"
"It was the day he was preparing to leave the country. When he was going through the security check at the airport, he somehow found...a package of methamphetamine in his salute!"
Thunder suddenly breaks out from the ground.
Lin Ruoxi opened her mouth slightly and stared blankly at Mother Xiao who was crying in front of her, her face full of panic and confusion.
Meth... She believed that it was absolutely impossible for Xiao Shuai to be involved with that kind of thing, so - it must be Tang Hongxuan!? Didn't the man say that he would torture Xiao Shuai bit by bit? It looked like
Now he not only wants to torture him, but also wants to destroy him completely.
Even if she is not a law student, she knows how serious the consequences will be if she leaves the customs with drugs!
I blamed myself to death and was extremely upset.
It's because of her. If it weren't for her, how could the man have anything to do with Xiao Shuai? If it weren't for her, Xiao Shuai would still be the proud son of the emperor sitting in the laboratory instead of squatting in a dirty and dark detention center.
I was lost in thought when I was suddenly awakened by a sharp pain in my wrist.
Mother Xiao grabbed her hand and shook her hard. The force was so strong that she almost pushed her to the ground. "Ms. Lin, that packet of methamphetamine is 20 grams! In a few days, we will go through the judicial process. If the sentence is passed,
, Xiao Shuai can’t even sit through the bottom of the prison, and there is a high probability that he won’t even be able to save his life..."
After a pause, he continued: "Ms. Lin, you are a smart person, you must know it in your heart! How could Xiao Shuai get involved in something like that if he doesn't even smoke? I don't know how many connections his father and I have had these days, but
It's no use, they don't even dare to let us in. They also say that the evidence is conclusive, and there is no need to re-investigate..." He burst into tears and almost fainted, "I beg you, as a mother,
I beg you, save my son!” “What do you want me to help you with?! How can I help you?!” After saying that, I felt that this question was just nonsense... Besides begging a man, what else can I do?
What else can I do?!
If Tang Hongxuan wants to die alone, even the gods dare not let him stay! At this point, other than Tang Hongxuan, who can save Xiao Shuai? Where can I find another person!
Lin Ruoxi sighed softly and slowly said three words, "I'll help you."
Mother Xiao was still crying in grief. When she heard these three words, she couldn't react. She stared at Lin Ruoxi intently, her eyes filled with disbelief. Immediately, all the expressions on her face turned into ecstasy.
, "Thank you, thank you, thank you..."
She repeated it over and over again, as if she didn't know what else to express except these three words.
"You don't need to thank me. No matter what, it was me who caused him trouble." Lin Ruoxi showed a wry smile and pulled her arm out of Mother Xiao's hand, "I will try my best to help you, but... I don't
Guarantee, will it really be of any use?!"
After all, what a man wants to do is not something anyone can control.
"You can, as long as you are willing to save him! Only you can save him!" Mother Xiao said with great certainty, but Lin Ruoxi's smile became more and more bitter.
Lin Ruoxi sighed softly, lowered her eyes and stopped talking. Then she stood up slowly, leaning on her thighs.
When she turned around, she heard Xiao's mother behind her say three words weakly but clearly, "I'm sorry!"
Lin Ruoxi was stunned. For no reason, she vaguely felt that behind the words 'I'm sorry' there was another layer of meaning that she didn't know about. She paused, turned around, and frowned as she looked at the woman sitting on her knees, exhausted from crying.
The woman on the ground asked, "Why are you sorry?! What are you sorry for?"
There was something sharp in her probing eyes, which made Xiao's mother stunned. "I..." She spoke slowly, but just after she said a word, a male voice interrupted her.
"Ms. Lin, it's getting late, it's time to go back." Aken looked at Lin Ruoxi and urged him respectfully with a smile on his face. As he spoke, his eyes passed over Xiao's mother's body without leaving a trace, and his eyes were full of warning.
Lin Ruoxi looked at his formulaic eight-tooth smile, her face gradually turned ugly, "You know something, don't you?!"
Aken smiled harmlessly and said, "Ms. Lin, I don't know anything."
She stared at him for a short while, then looked at Xiao's mother again, still obsessed with the question just now, "You haven't told me yet, why are you saying sorry?!"
"I..." she murmured before continuing, "Xiao Shuai's father and I did that to you, and you were still willing to save him... I'm sorry, we shouldn't have done that in the first place."
Lin Ruoxi intuitively felt that the answer couldn't be that simple, but if she continued to ask, it would obviously lead to no results. She pursed her lips and remained silent for a while, then she said calmly, "I'm not helping you, but Xiao Shuai."
…………
When Lin Ruoxi returned to Dongshan, the man had not returned yet.
Instead, he told the old housekeeper to send a message to Lin Ruoxi... saying that she would be back later, asking her to eat on time and take medicine alone, and to go to bed early if she felt sleepy at night.
During these few days in the hospital, she did nothing but eat and sleep, and her body was not lacking in sleep at all. In addition, she had something on her mind, so she couldn't sleep.
Lin Ruoxi ate dinner full of thoughts. After a hasty meal, she went back to the bedroom, half lying on the bed, flipping through magazines boredly, and waiting for the man to come back.
It was almost 10 o'clock when Tang Hongxuan came back.
Seeing that Lin Ruoxi was not sleeping yet, she was stunned for a moment, then she curled her thin lips and showed a pleasant smile, "You haven't slept yet?" After saying that, he closed the door behind him and strode towards the bed, "Isn't it normal at this time?
Are you already sleepy? Are you waiting for me to come back?"
Lin Ruoxi raised her head, said "Hmm", then met his gaze and admitted without hesitation, "I'm waiting for you to come back."
"Uh..." Tang Hongxuan couldn't help but hiccup. What he just said was half ambiguous and half frivolous, and he was obviously trying to flirt with her.
Even in normal times, Lin Ruoxi was thin-skinned and would not respond to him. She would just blush and glance away from him. What's more, now, there is still such a big thorn between the two!
Tang Hongxuan had no intention that she would talk to him, but he didn't expect that Lin Ruoxi not only responded, but also admitted it generously.
He looked at her and couldn't help but let out a sigh, and felt waves of powerlessness and helplessness in his heart.
After this time, although Lin Ruoxi was just quiet, Tang Hongxuan could clearly feel that her personality had changed. The hard armor in her heart was not only thicker, but also seemed to have grown rows of dense, sharp but sharp ones.
of little thorns.
Tang Hongxuan took off his suit jacket and threw it on a chair aside, then gently sat down on the edge of the bed next to her. He said to her softly: "Okay, I don't want to sleep, let's talk for a while, okay?"
Lin Ruoxi just looked at him for a moment, pursed her lips and said nothing. After a while, she frowned and spoke with a hint of sarcasm, "Don't you know what I'm going to say?" Hers
Every move was always being monitored. He should have known about what happened in the evening immediately.
Sure enough, Tang Hongxuan's face darkened, and a trace of gloom passed through his eyes, but it disappeared in an instant.
He took a breath, suppressed the irritability and anger in his heart, and then said to her: "Ruoxi, do you have to quarrel with me over an unrelated person?"
"Since Xiao Shuai is just an irrelevant person, why must he be involved?"
After saying that, she showed a self-deprecating wry smile. Maybe she was born to be a bad actor. No matter who is nice to her, there will be no bad end. When she was a child, it was her father, then her mother, and now it is Xiao Shuai.
"I'm already yours, my heart...I haven't given it to you, but I haven't given it to Xiao Shuai either, so you can rest assured." Her heart has never been given to anyone, because...it's not yet time.
The trust had been destroyed by him.
Tang Hongxuan's thick eyebrows furrowed, and his deep eyes suddenly wavered, shrouding layers of gloom. He looked at her steadily, his eyes focused, not missing him for a moment. The coldness in his eyes made her hair stand on end. What was she doing?
!Are you going to compromise with him for Xiao Shuai...
"Don't involve innocent people anymore in the matter between us." Lin Ruoxi finally couldn't look at him anymore. She glanced over her head and choked lightly, but it instantly extinguished all the man's anger, "Just
It should be...to accumulate some virtue for my unborn child." I hope he will be reincarnated in the next life and go to an ordinary family.
Tang Hongxuan's breath was suffocated, as if someone was strangling his throat. After a long time, he let out a sigh, his slight voice full of complicated emotions.
"Okay, I'll ask someone to let her go tomorrow." He whispered softly and made a promise. He stretched out his arms to tightly hug her, and clasped the back of her head with his big hands, letting her cheek touch her face without any gaps.
on his chest.
Then, Lin Ruoxi seemed to feel a hint of coolness falling on her head, "I'm sorry..."
This was his first apology when she was awake, low, gentle, and full of guilt.
Lin Ruoxi was stunned in his arms. She was extremely surprised. At the same time, she slowly evoked a bitter smile. Her heart was full of powerlessness and resignation, mixed with a wisp of thoughts that she couldn't understand... Maybe, in this life, she really has
I'm going to be stuck with this devilish man forever.
That night, he just sat by the bed and held her until the person in his arms fell asleep.
And Lin Ruoxi, until she fell asleep, never asked her doubts about 'why I'm sorry'.
