Chapter 74 If I pick it up, it's mine
At this moment, Lu Xuan could no longer stay and turned around and almost fled.
He ran all the way out of the school, still holding the ring box in his hand.
Lu Xuan looked at the dazzling ring. He was full of confidence and joy when he came here, but now he felt it was extremely annoying.
Jiang Yao is truly cruel! He didn't even give me the slightest bit of face in public?
In anger, he threw the ring directly into the trash can beside him.
He kicked the trash can over again, then turned around and left angrily.
But halfway through the walk, he felt unwilling to give up and turned back.
As I returned to the school gate, I saw a young girl bending down to pick up the ring.
The girl's profile has clear lines.
The moment he looked up, Lu Xuan was suddenly stunned.
This face, delicate and fair, was surprisingly 50% similar to Jiang Yao, especially those bright eyes, which made him feel dazed for a moment.
It was as if he had gone back to his school days, recalling Jiang Yao's bright look when she chased after him.
But he quickly came to his senses and spoke in a cold voice.
"What are you doing?"
The girl was startled by the noise and immediately hid the ring behind her like a frightened deer, looking at him warily.
"I found this, I found it in the trash can! You threw it away, so now that I found it, it's mine."
Lu Xuan was speechless and came back to his senses in an instant.
Jiang Yao would never show such an attitude.
"What do you want it for?"
The girl said confidently, "If you throw away something so valuable, of course you should sell it for money. What else can you do?"
"you……"
Lu Xuan never thought that there would be a woman who would have her love of money written directly on her face.
Not only is it not that annoying, it actually looks a bit cute.
The girl looked alert and quietly took two steps back, apparently fearing that he might come up and rob her, so she turned around and ran away.
Lu Xuan's anger turned into speechlessness for a moment.
It's just something worth tens of thousands of dollars.
"Forget it, it's something she doesn't want anyway, so I'll just give it to you."
He turned and left, walking to the car.
Unexpectedly, the girl followed him and asked cautiously.
"You really don't want it? You're not going to accuse me of stealing and put me in jail, are you?"
He seemed so confident just now, but it turns out he is just a coward.
Lu Xuan found it funny.
"Do I look like someone who has so much free time?"
The girl actually nodded.
"Yeah, don't rich people like you have so much free time? You even came to school to propose, which shows you have plenty of time.
So, where are you going next? Can you give me a ride? I'm in a hurry."
The corner of Lu Xuan's mouth twitched. Perhaps it was this face that looked similar to Jiang Yao that gave him a little more patience.
He actually asked a follow-up question.
"where are you going?"
"I'm going to work at the Twilight Club."
The girl answered frankly.
Lu Xuan was a little surprised, but seeing how she was dressed simply and looked so greedy for money, it was obvious that her conditions were not very good.
He had been planning to find a place to have a few drinks, since that was the case.
"Get in the car."
The girl was delighted, fearing that he would change his mind, so she quickly sat in the passenger seat and urged him, "Hurry up, I'm going to be late for the night shift, and my salary will be deducted if I'm late."
Lu Xuan: “…”
If you don’t know, you might think he is a driver!
"Do you love money so much?"
"How can I eat without money? I was born in the countryside. My parents favor my younger brother and ignore me. I worked hard to get into university and it was thanks to kind people who sponsored my tuition. If I don't work part-time, I can't even afford my daily expenses..."
The girl had no inferiority complex or defensiveness, and told everyone everything about herself along the way.
Only then did Lu Xuan know that her name was Dong Chenli.
The name is nice, but the family is so poor that he picked up the ring just to sell it for living expenses.
This was different from the women he had met before.
Lu Xuan could see some of Jiang Yao's former self in her.
But unlike Jiang Yao, Jiang Yao is tenacious and strong. He has always devoted himself to him, is not greedy for money, but is willing to work hard and never complain.
The other women who approached him were all as greedy and vain as Xu Yueyao, and they either wanted brand-name bags or jewelry all day long.
But Dong Chenli is different from others. She openly reveals her poverty and does not feel ashamed of it.
It was not her place to decide her birth, and this simple and straightforward nature made him look at her differently.
The car arrived outside the club and Lu Xuan and Dong Chenli went in together.
"Master, since you're here to drink, remember to order me and let me serve you. That way, your order will be charged to me and I can get a commission!"
Dong Chenli winked at him and asked with a smile on her face.
Lu Xuan found it quite interesting and agreed.
"good."
…
On the other side, Jiang Yao finally got rid of the troublesome Lu Xuan and breathed a sigh of relief.
She took the materials to her tutor's office to submit them.
Before I could knock, the door was opened from the inside.
Li Beiting happened to walk out.
They almost bumped into each other.
Jiang Yao subconsciously took two steps back and looked up.
Their eyes met.
Jiang Yao's eyes sparkled. "Senior, are you here to see the teacher too?"
"Um."
Li Beiting just responded lightly, quickly looked away, and walked past her without saying a word.
Jiang Yao's words to thank him for sending her back last night were stuck in her throat.
She looked at the man's back as he left with some surprise.
Is it my own illusion?
I always feel that... Li Beiting's attitude towards her seems to have returned to its initial coldness.
But haven't they become friends during this time?
For some reason, Jiang Yao felt inexplicably depressed when he saw Li Beiting's attitude.
After entering the office and submitting the information to Shi Ruishan, she asked hesitantly.
"Teacher, is Senior Li in a bad mood today? Is there something wrong with the project?"
Upon hearing this, Shi Ruishan looked up from a stack of documents with a look of surprise on his face.
"No, doesn't he have a sour face all day long? How can you tell whether he's happy or not? But... you do care about him!"
There was a hint of mockery in the old man's eyes.
Jiang Yao's face felt inexplicably hot and he felt a little annoyed.
"Teacher, how come even you like to spread rumors? He has a girlfriend."
Shi Ruishan immediately puffed out his beard and glared.
"Hey girl, you don't respect elders when you return to the project team, right?
He has a girlfriend? Bullshit! All these years I've only seen him focusing on his studies, and I've never seen him bring a girl to meet me."
Jiang Yao's heart wavered a little, but he immediately lowered his voice and muttered.
"...Maybe they're hiding it deep down and won't let you see it."
"What are you mumbling about?"
Shi Ruishan always felt that it was not a good thing to say.
"Nothing, I'll get busy now after I've delivered the information."
Jiang Yao left quickly.
Shi Ruishan was left there shaking his head and sighing.
"Young people nowadays are just stubborn..."
After returning to the research institute, Jiang Yao went to the laboratory to take a look and found that Li Beiting was already there.
She knocked hesitantly.
"Senior..."
