Chapter 21
Her actions softened Lin Ruo's heart. She didn't dare to say anything harsh and could only coax her softly, "Okay, thank you." She was also afraid that her voice would be too loud and scare the child. Unexpectedly, the other party smiled sweetly at her, then turned around and ran back to her brother.
Lin Ruo withdrew her gaze and just happened to hear Zhou Yuewan next to her asking her brother why he voted for her. She pricked up her ears and listened carefully, but she didn't expect the other party to answer: "She cooks delicious food." She understood why he chose her. He wanted her to continue cooking.
I don’t know where everyone will go for their next trip. Looking at the mysterious look of the program crew, I know it won’t be a good place.
"Ruoruo, congratulations! You got what you wanted." Gu Anan suppressed her unhappiness and walked towards Lin Ruoruo with a smile on her face.
Lin Ruo smiled faintly and ignored her, fearing that she would say something unpleasant.
"Next, let's choose finance." The program team followed the CUE process, so Lin Ruo didn't say anything.
Everyone voted for the Finance position in a variety of ways, but in the end, Lu Anyu won with six votes. Lin Ruo was still a little curious why Gu Ziyu kept voting for Lu Anyu. Could there be some connection?
"Okay, now we have voted for the tour guide and treasurer for next time, so see you next time." After saying this, the director ended the live broadcast.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when there were no cameras filming them all the time. They felt a little uncomfortable being filmed by cameras these past few days. Now that the show was over, they breathed a sigh of relief and could be themselves again. They all got up and went back to pack up and prepare to leave.
As Lin Ruo walked to the door, she saw the old lady standing there, looking around as if she was looking for something. The moment she saw her, her face was filled with joy and she quickly ran over and handed her the basket: "Girl, this is for you."
Lin Ruo looked around and saw that everyone had come out. He immediately dragged the woman to the side. Qin Yu followed and used his body to block the two of them. Lin Ruo lowered his head and stared at the woman in front of him with concern, "Auntie, how is it? Did he agree?"
"Okay. I'll go handle the formalities tomorrow." The old lady looked relaxed and satisfied at this moment.
Lin Ruo was very satisfied with her feedback. This was a good thing she had done. She really saved her life. However, she was still worried that something else might happen. So she grabbed her hand and began to instruct her, "No matter what he says, don't listen. After the divorce, just leave and go somewhere else. If he regrets pestering you, contact me to resolve it."
Her words undoubtedly strengthened the old lady's heart. She nodded firmly and said, "Okay, I won't listen to him. I will leave here immediately after the divorce. This is just a small token of my appreciation, please don't despise it."
As he said this, he pushed the basket towards her again. Lin Ruo looked down at the basket, which contained local specialties. She took it without hesitation.
"Help! Help!"
“Save me!”
"Please, save me."
At this moment, a familiar voice came over, and everyone turned their heads. A woman was running barefoot and shouting, and she didn't stop until she ran in front of everyone. Zhou Yuewan went over first, and the woman immediately lay down at her feet, followed by a menacing man.
Lin Ruo stopped and didn't go over immediately because she recognized that the man was the couple she and Qin Yu met that night. She turned her head to look at Qin Yu beside her, and seeing that he looked normal, she felt relieved and continued to look. She remembered that she had called the police. Could it be that they were released?
Just as she was wondering, the woman next to her grabbed her arm and shook her head gently: "Girl, don't go over there. Those are the son and daughter-in-law of the old Meng family. They are...playing."
"Play?" she asked doubtfully.
"Well, although it's customary here for husbands to beat their wives, the women all agree it's shameful, so they keep quiet about it. She was the only one who cried for help from the beginning. At first, everyone thought someone was going to die, so they all tried to intervene. But in the end, Old Meng's wife always said they were just joking, and over time, no one paid any attention." These words sent a chill through Lin Ruo's body. This woman had backstabbed everyone who helped her. If it had only affected herself, it would have been fine, but it had already affected others.
After listening to this, she looked over again. The woman had already hidden behind Zhou Yuewan. Zhou Xiaojun stood in front of his sister with his thin chest puffed out. The man was still yelling at the woman to get out.
Lin Ruo observed the woman carefully and found that there was indeed something wrong with her. Although she was hiding behind him and shouting for help, the smile in her eyes could not be completely hidden.
She breathed a sigh of relief, walked over quickly, and raised her hand to pull Zhou Yuewan over, but the man in front of her recognized her as the person who called the police that night.
"You bastard, I've been looking for you everywhere! And now you're here." He said as he raised the whip in his hand and swung it towards her.
Lin Ruo's instinctive reaction was to protect Qin Yu, who had come with her. He must have been terrified, and she raised her hand to block the attack. However, he was one step ahead of her, raising his hand to clench the whip. Then she turned to look at him, her eyes twinkling. Although her hand was still trembling slightly, she thought he must have felt that he had achieved what he had always wanted to do as a child but had never been able to do.
Although the sixteen-year-old was young, he still had some strength, so the man's attempts to pull back failed. He could only stare at Qin Yu with wide eyes, cursing and asking him to let go. But Qin Yu never let go, his gaze filled with coldness. Finally, Lin Ruo walked beside him and whispered, "Let go."
The child obediently let go of the whip, leaving a red mark on his palm. Lin Ruo asked nervously, "How is it? Does it hurt?"
〖Hello host, your capture target Qin Yu's affection value towards you has reached 85 points!〗
The family affection value increased again. Lin Ruo stared at Qin Yu in front of him. At the age of sixteen, he was still a child and hoped that someone would care about him.
The man retracted the whip and continued to look behind Zhou Yuewan: "Let's go home." The woman said nothing and obediently followed him and left.
Seeing this, Zhou Yuewan quickly raised her hand and grabbed her wrist: "He treated you like this? And you still want to go back with him?"
But she didn't expect the woman to shake her hand off and leave beside the man without looking back. Zhou Yuewan wanted to continue to call her back, but was pulled back by Lin Ruo. She was puzzled: "Why?"
Lin Ruo pointed to the woman next to him and asked her to repeat what she had just said. Zhou Yuewan frowned as she listened, her lips twitching slightly. "So we're just a little fun thing for a couple?" At this moment, everyone finally understood why the orchard manager had said that the two had always had a good relationship. Really asking for trouble.
Gu Anan, who was standing next to her, also stopped pretending to be a pitiful green tea girl in the live broadcast room and glanced at Zhou Yuewan coldly: "I told you not to interfere in other people's family affairs." After that, she quickly left.
"You..." Zhou Yuewan stared at her back for a moment, then turned to look at Lin Ruo beside her and whispered, "Why do I feel like she's much better than that green tea girl in the live studio?"
"Why do you think she keeps creating that weak and helpless little green tea image?" Zhou Yuewan really couldn't understand.
Lin Ruo somewhat understood why Gu Anan was like this: "She should do things to show that she cares about others. This kind of personality is just likable." Zhou Yuewan nodded in agreement with her words, because she knew that she would not be likable this way.
"Young lady, you two can chat. I'll go back first." The old lady said goodbye to her and left. Although Lin Ruo was a little worried, she didn't try to stop her because she had calculated with her fingers that there would be no problem and everything would go smoothly.
The filming in this town was over, and everyone was packing up and preparing to go back. While Lin Ruo was packing, Qin Yu appeared behind her. He stared at her for two seconds before saying, "If you want to go back to the Lin family, that's fine."
Lin Ruo paused folding clothes as soon as he heard these words. He tilted his head and smiled, "Why did you suddenly change your mind? You want me to go back?"
"I, just, asked casually." He coughed lightly, then turned and left.
"Is Miss Lin here?" Lu Anyu's voice came. After hearing it, she went out to greet him, and saw him coming with Lu Zhaozhao. The moment she saw her, the little girl's eyes flickered slightly, like little stars in the sky.
"Mr. Lu, is there something wrong?" She shifted her gaze from Lu Zhaozhao to him.
"Zhao Zhao said she has a gift for you." He nudged the little girl beside him. She slowly moved in front of him and carefully handed the doll to him.
Lin Ruo bent down and stared at her, asking softly, "Are you going to give it to me?"
"Yeah!" The child nodded shyly, handed the doll over, and then trotted back behind Lu Anyu, secretly sticking his head out to look at her.
"Thank you, I like it very much." She gave him a little rabbit, and Lin Ruo pinched its ears.
"Wait for me!" He turned and ran back to his room, took out an amulet from his suitcase, walked back to the living room and handed it to her: "Zhao Zhao, this is for you."
The little girl's eyes widened instantly, and she looked up at her in disbelief. She didn't expect that she would receive a gift. She turned her head and looked at her brother. She took it and stroked it gently. She looked at it carefully, then carefully put it in her bag and whispered, "Thank you!"
"It's okay! As long as you like it." Lin Ruo rubbed her little head.
Lu Anyu said a few words of thanks and left with his sister. Lin Ruo went back to pack her luggage. When she returned to the door, she saw Qin Yu standing there with his hand extended to her.
"What?" She was a little confused.
Qin Yu coughed lightly and turned his head to the side. His ears turned slightly red as he spoke again, "I want the thing you just gave her, too."
After hearing this, Lin Ruo chuckled and stopped teasing him. Instead, he turned around and took out another amulet from his suitcase and handed it to him: "This is for you." His originally dull eyes instantly lit up. He raised his hand to take it and stroked it gently.
After she was almost done packing, Lin Ruo picked up her phone and saw someone had sent her a message. It was the rich woman from before: "Master, the thing I bought last time was indeed quite useful. Do you have any other recommendations? I'd like to buy some more."
She pushed her homepage over and said, "I have everything here. You can order anything you want."
"Okay." She quickly selected two items: a bracelet and a pendant, both beneficial to her career. Lin Ruo was very satisfied with her choice and decided to focus on her career.
