Chapter 33 Private Restaurant
At the same time, in the city hospital, Gu Ruoxi had just finished a doctor's examination.
She should be considered the luckiest among the more than ten girls because the police intervened in time and she did not suffer any harm.
Of course, it was impossible for Gu Ruoxi to know Li Muhan’s role in this matter.
So her gratitude to Li Muhan was actually not that great, but now there was a new problem.
As she was about to be discharged from the hospital, her parents packed her things and asked her a question that Gu Ruoxi had no answer for.
"Xiaoxi, where do you live now?"
"......I."
Gu Ruoxi originally lived in the luxurious villa that Zhao Qiankun bought for her.
But now the villa has been taken back by Zhao Qiankun, and she can't even go back to get her luggage. All the cards in her body have been frozen. After all, it's all the Zhao family's money.
As for her own money, Gu Ruoxi, who was used to spending lavishly, didn't care about money at all. She thought that she would have no worries about food and clothing after being with Zhao Qiankun.
Now she only has 2,000 yuan in her card, so renting a house is no problem, but after that, if she is asked to work part-time to earn money, Gu Ruoxi will definitely not be able to bear the hardship now.
Seeing her daughter's embarrassed look.
Aunt Jiang thought that Li Muhan had kicked her daughter out of the house.
"Xiao Han, even if you're not boyfriend and girlfriend, you two are childhood sweethearts. How can you be so cruel?"
"Ahem."
But Uncle Gu coughed twice, interrupting what his lover was about to say next.
"We watched Xiaohan grow up. What kind of person do you think he is? Xiaoxi, are you hiding something from us? What exactly happened between you and Xiaohan?"
"No, it's nothing, Dad. I just don't like him anymore."
"Well, I see you have nowhere to stay right now. How about this, after having dinner with Xiaohan tonight, we'll stay in a hotel first, and you can move back to school tomorrow."
Gu Ruoxi felt uncomfortable when she thought of the four-person dormitory in college.
“No, I don’t want to go back to school…”
Although we have lost our financial backer, it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.
Now Gu Ruoxi seemed to be dazzled by Zhao Qiankun's financial offensive and had no idea of her current situation.
I am still dreaming that if Zhao Qiankun changes his mind, he will come to find me.
"Hey, kid, your dad and I will help you rent a house near the school. You can live there first. What if you and Xiaohan still have room to maneuver?"
After hearing what Aunt Jiang said, Uncle Gu was obviously unhappy.
"Why haven't you heard yet? Their affairs are definitely not that simple."
"Dad, Mom...can you please stop asking? Li Muhan and I...our relationship is very complicated, but I feel like he still loves me, otherwise he wouldn't risk his life to save me."
"That's great, Xiaoxi. It's best if you can reconcile with Xiaohan. Your father and I really like Xiaohan. Don't be so arrogant when we eat later. A man can't just keep people at a distance. You should loosen the ropes a little bit."
"Don't worry, Mom. He saved my life. I think I can start over with him. Besides, you all know Li Muhan. He has a weird personality since he was a child. Apart from his good looks, he has no special abilities. Who else would want him but me? I guarantee he will beg me to come back to him."
“You two…!”
Uncle Gu obviously couldn't stand it anymore. He had actually guessed that it must be his daughter who had wronged Li Muhan.
Otherwise, given Li Muhan's obedient personality towards his daughter, he would never do such a heartless thing.
But then again, is Li Muhan really heartless? No, I can't just listen to my daughter's story. I must find a chance to ask her about it when I have dinner with Li Muhan tonight.
As they were talking, Aunt Jiang's cell phone suddenly rang.
"Look, the phone call came just as I was talking about this."
When Aunt Jiang saw that it was Li Muhan calling, she immediately smiled, while Gu Ruoxi turned her head away with a slightly cold and arrogant look.
"Hey, Xiaohan."
"Aunt Jiang, I've already decided where to have dinner tonight. It's at Room 5, 32nd Floor, Yuehua Apartment at 7pm."
Li Muhan was a little hesitant when he said this address. It didn't sound like a place to eat at all.
"Oh, okay, okay, Xiaohan, I'm sorry to have troubled you."
Aunt Jiang felt relieved when she heard that the place they were having dinner was not a high-end restaurant. Li Muhan had been stubborn since he was young. When he was just taken out of the orphanage, he was as silent as a mute, but he was very loyal and had always been protecting Gu Ruoxi.
If he insisted on booking a room at a high-end place just to save face, Aunt Jiang might be unhappy.
Gu Ruoxi also heard the address. She was a little confused. Why did Li Muhan arrange for them to have dinner in an apartment? Did he move?
Yuehua Apartment doesn’t seem to be a high-end apartment.
Gu Ruoxi's father also came forward and spoke to Li Muhan on the phone.
"Xiao Han, you're so thoughtful. You know your Aunt Jiang and I don't like noisy environments, so you specially arranged it at home."
"Ah, uncle, that's not my home..."
Li Muhan seemed a little embarrassed, as Uncle Gu's words reminded him.
Why do we have to arrange to eat out? Wouldn’t it be more enjoyable for the family to eat at home?
But when he thought of his cramped and shabby little apartment, Li Muhan felt that something was still not right.
"It's a...private restaurant, uncle. I asked a friend to book it for me."
"Oh, oh! Okay, okay, Xiaohan, that's it. You should make more friends. Have you made any new friends in college?"
"Well, uncle, besides Luo Yang, I also met some friends."
Li Muhan was not telling the truth. He had no friends in college except Luo Yang. Does Xia Yue count?
Hey, living in the same room, sleeping in the same bed, that's called a friend? That's called a girlfriend.
"That's good, that's good. Seeing that you are so sensible and cheerful now, your aunt and I are very happy. Xiaohan, you must learn more in college. If you have any difficulties, be sure to tell us two elders."
"Hey, old man, if you have anything to say, let's talk about it tonight."
Aunt Jiang snatched the phone away.
"Then Xiaohan, let's go to that private restaurant you mentioned with Ruoxi at 7pm."
Hearing that Gu Ruoxi was coming, Li Muhan wanted to say something, but considering the feelings of the two elders, he finally swallowed his words, but his tone became a little colder.
"Yeah, okay."
The atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward, and Gu Ruoxi clearly felt Li Muchan's displeasure. She didn't say anything because she knew that she owed Li Muchan, so she thought about not going.
Then Xia Yue's voice was heard again.
"This is delicious. I'll feed you. Open your mouth."
"Wait, wait a minute, I'm on the phone."
"Open your mouth."
"ah......"
Gu Ruoxi knew that the voice was Xia Yue, so she suddenly felt very uncomfortable.
The words "I won't go." were never uttered in the end.
After hanging up the phone, Uncle Gu returned the phone to Aunt Jiang and looked at his daughter with a puzzled look.
"...Ruoxi, do you know the girl Xiaohan was with just now?"
Gu Ruoxi snorted coldly and said nothing. Uncle Gu instantly understood what was going on and stopped asking.
But Aunt Jiang seemed to be unable to react for a moment, and she sighed and said.
"How come Xiaohan found another girl so quickly? Oh, this is too fast."
“That’s enough!”
Uncle Gu interrupted Aunt Jiang directly. Although he didn't know what had happened between his daughter and Li Muhan, he could tell from Gu Ruoxi's reaction just now and his understanding of his daughter.
She must have been the one who wronged Li Muhan first.
"What are you yelling about......"
Aunt Jiang seemed to understand what her husband meant, but she had spoiled her daughter since she was a child. Although she knew that her daughter was in the wrong, she did not want to give in so easily.
"Young people, it's inevitable that we won't have some small quarrels. Didn't we quarrel every few days when we were young and dating?"
"Can this even be a thing!?"
"Dad, Mom, why don't we book a place ourselves? Li Muhan saved my life this time, so it's not a good idea to let him pay..."
Seeing that her parents were about to quarrel, Gu Ruoxi quickly changed the subject. Her feelings towards Li Muchan were a bit complicated now. It was clearly she who betrayed Li Muchan.
But now, she felt abandoned by Li Muhan.
How much excess self-awareness must one have to have such thoughts?
"Alas, Xiaohan is so kind, we can't let him down. Let's listen to Xiaohan this time."
Aunt Jiang also felt that her daughter was right, but Li Muhan had already booked a place, and it would be a bit impolite for them to book again now. She sighed and stood up.
"Xiao Xi, if you don't want to see Li Muhan now, find a hotel and rest first."
“…I, I…”
Gu Ruoxi gritted her teeth and finally made a secret decision in her heart.
Just go. If Li Muhan scolds me in front of my parents, there is nothing I can do about it. After all, I did something so excessive to him before.
It's just that she really didn't want to see her parents being humiliated.
