Chapter 8 Everyone's Great Cause Is So Greedy
The car stopped in front of Chu's house.
Chu Xi unbuckled his seat belt and opened the car door swiftly. As soon as his feet touched the ground, he excitedly circled around the car like a naughty child and soon came to the glass of the driver's seat.
"Mr. Chu, do you have anything else to say?" Li Ruochu looked at Chu Xi's appearance, feeling a little puzzled. He frowned slightly and asked softly.
"Sister Chu, do you want to come to my house and sit down? If they see you and me together, they will be so happy!"
As Chu Xi spoke, he gestured with great excitement, and the surprised expressions on his parents' faces when they saw Li Ruchu seemed to have emerged in his mind.
"No, I have something else to do." Li Ruochu refused without hesitation, with a hint of firmness in his tone.
"Sister Chu, please take me upstairs. I was shaken by the car when it collided, and now I seem to have a little pain in my chest." When Chu Xi saw Li Ruchu refused, his eyes rolled around and he immediately put on a pitiful look.
He held his stomach tightly with both hands, his brows were furrowed, a look of pain appeared on his face, and his body was trembling slightly, as if he was really seriously injured.
Li Ruochu sighed helplessly, opened the car door, walked out of the car with elegant steps, came to Chu Xi, stretched out his finger, gently tapped Chu Xi's belly, and teased: "Mr. Chu's chest is very strange, on the belly."
"Really? Did I make a mistake?" Chu Xi was not embarrassed at all when Li Ruochu found out that he was pretending to be sick. Instead, his eyes lit up and he pretended to have suddenly realized something.
"You're home now. I'll go back first. Also, your brother doesn't earn money easily. You shouldn't give the car to others casually." Li Ruochu put away her smile and her expression became serious. She looked at Chu Xi and said earnestly.
Unexpectedly, just as the words fell, a deep and magnetic voice suddenly came from behind the two of them: "Miss Li, who said that the car was given away?"
The voice seemed to carry an invisible majesty, instantly breaking the originally relaxed atmosphere.
The smile that was originally on Chu Xi's face disappeared in an instant, as if blown away by a gust of wind.
His body suddenly stiffened, his expression became very stiff, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes.
Li Ruochu was also startled by the sudden sound. Her heart suddenly tightened and she muttered to herself: Is it such a coincidence that someone heard what I just said?
Chu Xi stiffened his body and tried to turn around and go home, but in his panic, his steps became messy and he even walked in a funny way with his hands and feet moving at the same time.
His hands were swinging unnaturally and his feet seemed to be tripped by something. Every step he took was very difficult and he looked very funny.
Li Ruochu looked back and saw Chu Yanzhen wearing a hairband and sportswear appearing behind him.
There were still fine beads of sweat on his forehead, and a few strands of hair were soaked with sweat and stuck to his cheeks.
The tennis racket on his back sparkled with metallic luster in the sun, and it seemed that he had just returned from exercise.
"Mr. Chu, good morning!" Li Ruochu was slightly stunned, then reacted, forced a polite smile on his face, and quickly greeted him.
"It's almost noon!" Chu Yanzhen said lightly.
The voice was low and steady, without a trace of unnecessary emotion.
Forehead……
Li Ruochu secretly groaned in his heart, and the smile on his face became a little awkward.
Are all big shots so frugal with words?
However, she quickly adjusted her state and quickly changed her way of greeting, saying in a more enthusiastic tone: "Good afternoon, Mr. Chu!"
"I just heard Miss Li say that we shouldn't give the car away. The person you are talking about should be my good-for-nothing brother, right?" Chu Yanzhen narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at Chu Xi who was running away quickly with a sharp gaze, with a hint of doubt in his tone.
"Mr. Chu, you misunderstood. It didn't happen. I accidentally rear-ended Mr. Chu's car today, and he sent it to the 4S shop for repair." Li Ruochu reacted quickly and explained.
In one sentence, Chu Xi's accident was resolved and it also indirectly explained why she came here.
"Well, come in and sit down!" Chu Yanzhen nodded slightly, with a hint of unwillingness in his tone.
"No, no, I have something else to do. I'll treat Mr. Chu to dinner another day!"
Li Ruochu quickly waved his hand to refuse, with an apologetic smile on his face.
There was a hint of anxiety in her eyes, and her body took a step back slightly, as if she was ready to leave at any time.
"What day is that?"
Li Ruochu: We all have a great cause, are you so greedy?
Seeing Li Ruochu's embarrassed and helpless look, Chu Yanzhen slightly raised his head and let out a low and magnetic laugh from his throat.
His eyes narrowed slightly. "Miss Li has something to do first. I have to go home. It would be better for me to treat Miss Li to dinner another day."
The corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a polite yet graceful smile, and he spoke in a gentle voice with an irresistible affinity in his tone.
"Okay, okay. Goodbye, Mr. Chu!" Li Ruochu nodded hurriedly. The smile on his face seemed a little stiff, and his eyes were full of eagerness to escape.
As she spoke, she turned around in a panic and almost trotted to the car.
She hurriedly opened the car door, sat down in the driver's seat, fastened her seat belt, and started the car and drove away.
Chu Yanzhen looked at the direction where Li Ruchu left. The car gradually disappeared at the end of the street. He shook his head slightly, and a faint smile appeared on his face.
Chen Yubai really doesn't know how to appreciate the blessings he has.
After returning home, Li Ruchu walked into the bedroom and slowly scanned every corner of the room. Everything here carried the memories of her and Shen Yubai.
But now, she felt extremely depressed.
She took a deep breath, calmed herself, and began to pack her things in an orderly manner.
Then, Li Ruochu took out his mobile phone, slid his finger lightly across the screen, and called his good friend Nan Zhiyu.
The moment the call was connected, she tried to make her voice sound calmer: "Nannan, I want to stay at your house for a few days."
"Okay, now?" Nan Zhiyu's voice came from the other end of the phone, with her usual enthusiasm.
"Yes." Li Ruochu answered briefly, with a hint of determination in his eyes.
"Then I'll clean up the room for you, and we can...wait, you're not at work at this time, why did you think of my house? Did you have a fight with your CEO Shen?"
There was a hint of teasing in Nan Zhiyu's tone, and she keenly noticed that Li Ruchu was different.
"He cheated." Li Ruochu was silent for a moment and said slowly.
Nan Zhiyu is her best friend and she has nothing to hide.
The other end of the phone fell silent for a moment. After a long while, Nan Zhiyu yelled out like a chicken with its feathers blown off: "What? Cheating, Chen Yubai cheated?"
