Chapter 2129 The Path is Your Own Choice

Uncle Wei called out again, "Ajun, was that you just now?"

Xiao Jun held his breath. Ruomu seemed to sense his nervousness, but she was no longer nervous. She no longer looked at him with fear, but more with curiosity.

As if wondering why he was hiding from his butler.

Xiao Jun couldn't explain it clearly to her, so he frowned and glared at her. She seemed to understand what he meant, lowered her eyes, no longer showing any curiosity, and became a stupid piece of wood again.

Xiao Jun couldn't help but continue staring at her face. Her skin was very white, probably because she was young, and her skin was delicate. Her nose bridge was high, but the tip of her nose was small and delicate.

Her soft hair was washed clean, and under the apron of her maid's suit was a yellow floral shirt. The collar of the shirt was washed white and worn.

As he observed, Ruomu's eyelashes blinked faster and faster, and Xiao Jun heard her heartbeat getting faster and faster.

It seems she's still afraid of him.

But it's no wonder that Uncle Wei is so optimistic about her. Just looking at her face, even without makeup, she's no less beautiful than those female celebrities. And her natural and unpretentious temperament is even more precious than those pretentious women...

Uncle Wei outside finally walked away.

Xiao Jun took his hands away from her face, and Ruomu took a step back, away from him.

Before leaving, Xiao Jun warned her: "This place is not much better than hell. It's not too late for you to leave now."

"Thank you, I won't leave," Ruomu said firmly, "because you haven't been to the real hell yet."

Xiao Jun frowned. Has he never been to the real hell?

Just because he was now respectfully addressed as "Mr. Xiao," did she conclude that he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and would live in paradise all his life? What qualifications did she have to make such a conclusion?

He glanced coldly at the clueless and clueless girl and said, "Whatever you want."

Having said that, it was her freedom to choose whatever she wanted, and Xiao Jun was too lazy to care.

…

Ruomu took his hand and carefully removed the glass shards that were stuck in his flesh.

Xiao Jun felt a pain in his palm, and his thoughts returned to the wine cellar.

He pulled his hand back, "Don't touch me."

Ruomu clenched his fists and placed his hands at his sides. "If I wanted to seduce you, I wouldn't memorize the washing instructions. I would learn how to serve a man."

Through her determined eyes, Xiao Jun seemed to see that there were many things hidden in her heart, including the emotions and worries she was suppressing.

What surprised him was that she actually said "serve men" directly.

She knew exactly what she was doing and what she wanted.

So Ruomu is not really stupid, but is just pretending to be stupid.

Ruomu added, "I'm afraid if something happens to you, I'll lose my job, and I can't afford to lose it. So I'm doing this for myself."

Xiao Jun laughed at himself.

She was genuine and cared about him without any pretense.

Xiao Jun suddenly felt less disgusted with her, but he still didn't want to expose his embarrassment in front of others.

"I'm fine. I won't die. You can go out now."

Xiao Jun pushed the girl next to him away, but because he was drunk, his hand lost its aim, and when he pushed her away, his body staggered from side to side. Seeing the filth on the ground, he fell over involuntarily.

Ruomu quickly supported his shoulders and let him lean against the wine cabinet next to him.

Xiao Jun pushed her again, this time with force, and Ruomu fell to the ground.

"Get out." Xiao Jun said coldly.

Ruomu looked at his hand, and finally said nothing and ran out of the wine cellar.

Xiao Jun heard the sound of footsteps coming up the stairs, and the wine cellar finally returned to silence.

Xiao Jun simply gave up resisting. Let his body be dirty, let his hands hurt, and let him fall asleep without rushing to come. He would wait until tomorrow when he had the strength to clean it up. Anyway, he couldn't do anything now.

He closed his eyes, but seemed to see the look that Ruomu had given him just now.

When she talked about staying, her eyes were extremely determined.

Is this job so attractive to her?

What does this country girl want?

Xiao Jun rubbed his eyebrows and sighed.

What does she want have to do with me?

He doesn't even understand his own life, so he has no energy to think about other people's lives.

What's more, this girl was intentionally placed by Uncle Wei by his side.

He didn't want to get to know her too well.

If Uncle Wei feels that Ruomu is no longer useful to him in the future and takes her into the city and gives her to some man, it will have nothing to do with me.

You choose your own path.

Anyway, Xiao Jun has already warned her, and if she doesn't listen, she will bear the consequences.

Just when he thought he would spend the night in the wine cellar, the door opened again.

Ruomu ran back to him, squatted down, and said quickly: "I know you don't want to see me, but if you don't treat this injury, it may get infected."

As she spoke, she opened the medicine box she had brought.

Xiao Jun sneered, "You even know about infection."

He glanced at the medicine box in her hand and said, "She can also bandage."

"Our village is not a primitive society..."

Xiao Jun didn't say anything else. He leaned against the cabinet behind him, squinting his eyes and watched her help him treat his wound.

Not to mention, she wasn't very good at other things, but she was quite good at bandaging external injuries.

"Have you learned it?"

She shook her head: "I saw how the village doctor did it, so I remembered it."

Xiao Jun nodded. Studious and quite smart?

Just as he connected these words with Ruomu, she said, "I used to be disobedient and was beaten by my father a lot. I was always injured. I learned it after seeing it so many times."

She spoke calmly, wrapping the gauze in her hand around his hand in circles.

Then she stood up, took a step back, and said to him, "Everyone is asleep now. If you want to go back to your room, I can help you go back. If you don't want to go back, I will clean up here and bring you a bed and quilt."

Xiao Jun looked at the girl in front of him through his hazy vision.

Her back was stiff and she walked cautiously, as if she was afraid of taking a wrong step if she took one more step, but she stood there firmly and said these words.

She was not the same as when Xiao Jun first met her.

No longer an empty shell.

Hearing her talk about being beaten by her father also aroused Xiao Jun's sympathy, as he knew what it felt like to be despaired.

"What did you do? Why did your father beat you?" Xiao Jun asked.

She was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't expect him to ask this suddenly.

"I wanted to go to the city to work, but my father wouldn't let me. I ran away many times, and he would catch me and beat me up. There were other reasons too, but the main reason was that I was going to work..."

Xiao Jun tried to analyze the situation based on his experience, but he couldn't figure out the reason. "Why aren't you allowed to go to the city?"

Aren’t cities better?

You can earn money and gain experience at the same time. Isn't it better than staying in the mountain village?

Ruomu smiled at him. At that moment, it seemed as if he was the one who had never seen the world, and she was the one who had experienced many vicissitudes of life.

"I don't know anything, I just look good. My father is afraid that I will go to the city to do that kind of business, and he is also afraid that I will be deceived and taken advantage of by the men in the city."

After listening to this, Xiao Jun nodded. It turned out that he was afraid that she would suffer a loss. This concern was understandable.

"And then he beat you?"

"Yes, let me learn this lesson," Ruomu paused, then continued, "Because according to the customs of our village, if I lose my virginity to another man before marriage, my father will have to lower my price and sell me off, and I will really become a money-loser."
