Chapter 9 Chapter 9 Does he really want to marry her!
Ruan Xiangyi left Yuyao early in the morning. She didn't know when Zhao Qingshi left. The two of them tacitly agreed not to ask each other about the driving time. A layer of wet rain covered the ground, fog surrounded the small hill in the distance, and a bamboo raft created ripples on the emerald green river. She had lived in such a water town for fifteen years.
They didn't contact each other again. Ruan Xiangyi continued to devote herself to her work. At the same time, she made an appointment for a physical examination and planned to go for it at the weekend.
She left the TV station early on Wednesday afternoon, planning to take a break. On the way home, Weibo pushed a hot topic to her. She clicked on it and saw that the front row was full of...
#Zhao Qingshi’s wedding is approaching#
#The dream of marrying into a wealthy family is shattered#
#A woman who can control Zhao Qingshi appears#
When Ruan Xiangyi secretly investigated Zhao Qing, she found that this man had a lot of gossips and was often involved in scandals with various women. However, he was handsome and rich, and no one cared about his chaotic private life. As long as he did not break the law, he was still the dream of thousands of girls.
She remembered what Zhao Qingshi said in Yuyao that night. He told her that it was his first time.
Really?
She began to doubt again.
Ruan Xiangyi unconsciously calculated the time and found that there was less than a week left until the third day of next month as he had mentioned.
It doesn't matter to her anymore, just like he said, it's all in the past, it was just a ridiculous dream.
She walked into a supermarket, bought some vegetables and fruits, and planned to go home to cook. When she walked downstairs of the residential complex, she ran into Shen Huaimeng. Shen Huaimeng had not replied to her messages for more than ten days, and now he suddenly appeared downstairs of her house.
"Senior brother." Ruan Xiangyi called him softly.
Shen Huaimeng didn't notice her coming back, and only turned around when he heard her voice. He was still wearing a white shirt, and his chin covered with stubble made him look much older.
"Senior brother, why are you here?" Ruan Xiangyi asked.
"I..." Chen Huaimeng hesitated for a long time, not knowing what to say. He noticed what she was carrying and reached out, "I'll help you."
Ruan Xiangyi dodged and asked again: "Brother, what do you want to talk to me about?"
He withdrew his hand, lowered his eyes and apologized: "I'm sorry Xiangyi, I've been a bit busy recently and didn't reply to your message."
"Is this the reason you came to me?" Ruan Xiangyi asked. Shen Huaimeng did not reply to her, but she thought it was normal. Everyone has their own things to do. Besides, she only sent that one message and did not send any more.
"It's okay, senior brother, I don't mind." She smiled back at him.
Shen Huaimeng was hurt by her smile and suddenly became excited: "I mind!"
You don’t know what cruel words your mother said to me, how she undermined my self-confidence, how she stood in our way time and time again. You don’t know, you know nothing.
Ruan Xiangyi was frightened by his sudden emotion. Shen Huaimeng raised his head again and made a lot of determination: "Xiangyi, I like you very much."
Ruan Xiangyi was stunned.
"I've always liked you, but because of our respective identities, I feel I can't give you a future. I admit I have low self-esteem. Every time I see you, I wish I had a better family background so your mother wouldn't stand in our way." He held her shoulders. "But things are different now. I've got an offer. They've promised that after I finish graduate school this year, I'll be a manager-level employee with an annual salary of one million. It's affordable. I can give you a guarantee now. Do you believe me? Are you still willing to be with me?"
Ruan Xiangyi remembered the day she was drunk. She sat at her desk, wrote a full page of love letters, put them in an envelope, and planned to confess her feelings to him that night. But she accidentally heard him say to someone else: "Xiangyi is just a sister. There is no possibility for me and her."
Feeling disheartened, she ran to the bar to numb herself with alcohol. It was that night that she met Zhao Qingshi.
At this moment, the conversation she had dreamed of countless times finally appeared before her. All she could think about was what to do...
She accepted the ridiculous fact, but was not ready to accept a relationship, even though the person was the one she liked.
It seemed as if two little people were fighting in Ruan Xiangyi's mind.
"Xiangyi." Seeing that she didn't speak, Shen Huaimeng was a little flustered and urged her, "Aren't you going to express your opinion?"
Ruan Xiangyi came to her senses and pushed him away suddenly.
A trace of surprise flashed in Shen Huaimeng's eyes. He didn't believe that Ruan Xiangyi would push him away.
"Xiangyi..." he murmured.
"I'm sorry, Senior Brother." Her mind was in a mess and she avoided his gaze. "I need to think about it. Give me some time."
Shen Huaimeng looked at her, understanding that it was difficult for her to accept it for the time being. He was willing to give her time and space, "Okay, think about it first, there's no rush."
Ruan Xiangyi nodded.
"I'll go up first, Senior Brother, you should go back first."
Shen Huaimeng returned to his usual gentle smile: "I'll watch you go up."
Ruan Xiangyi didn't say much to him. She opened the door of the unit and went in, pressing the elevator button in a panic.
*
Ruan Xiangyi pondered the question of whether to be with Shen Huaimeng all night but couldn't come up with an answer. Without an answer, she encountered a new problem on Thursday night.
She didn't expect He Wen to be so persistent. She thought that after the last time, he would give up completely.
The story goes like this: she went back to the Ruan family for dinner on Thursday night. The next day, Ruan Lingyu returned for breakfast. The family sat together for breakfast. Lin Manshu suggested asking the driver to take her home later, but Ruan Xiangyi refused. Ruan Lingyu then took the initiative and said, "Xiangyi wants to go to the TV station. Why didn't you tell me earlier? He Wen is nearby. Can he take you there?"
Ruan Xiangyi raised her head. She would never believe that Ruan Lingyu was so kind.
Lin Manshu really asked, "Who is He Wen?"
"A friend of mine has been pursuing Ruan Xiangyi recently." Ruan Lingyu was surprised in her dress, "Auntie Lin, don't you know?"
Lin Manshu shook her head and looked at Ruan Xiangyi: "She didn't tell me."
Ruan Fu cleared his throat and asked, "Xiaoyu, why is He Wen pursuing Xiangyi?"
"Dad, look at what you said. How can he pursue Xiangyi? Xiangyi is so beautiful, isn't it normal for someone to like her? The He family is so rich, and his mother is the president of a bank. Ruan Xiangyi earned it all." Ruan Lingyu smiled coquettishly.
"What are you talking about? No matter how well-off her family is, it still depends on Xiangyi's opinion. As an older sister, you have to keep a close eye on your younger sister, understand?"
Ruan Lingyu curled her lips.
At this time, Grandma Ruan spoke up: "Given Ruan's personality, it's a good thing that someone is pursuing her. To be frank, if she really marries into the He family, she will be marrying up. Just be content."
These words did not put the mother and daughter in the position of the Ruan family at all. Ruan Fu glanced at the silent Lin Manshu and felt a headache: "Mom, what are you talking about?"
Ruan Fu looked at Ruan Xiangyi again: "Xiangyi, your grandma didn't mean that. Don't worry. You can make your own decisions about your own affairs. Your uncle won't interfere with you."
Ruan Xiangyi nodded slightly.
Ruan Lingyu sneered. Fortunately, she didn't say this to Ruan Fu. She said this in front of Lin Manshu on purpose. Lin Manshu always wanted her daughter to become a successful woman. After hearing about He Wen's background, how could she bear to let her go.
Just as Ruan Xiangyi was making an excuse to leave, Lin Manshu said, "Be careful on the road. Since someone is picking you up, Mom won't let the driver take you back."
Ruan Xiangyi looked at her and before she could speak, Ruan Lingyu shook her phone with an innocent look on her face: "Sister, he's waiting for you outside."
Ruan Xiangyi was carried out of the Ruan family's gate.
When she walked out of the villa, she found He Wen's car parked not far away. It was not that she had made a special note of it, but his car was too conspicuous, a red Ferrari.
Ruan Xiangyi wanted to take a detour, but then she received a message from Lin Manshu.
Lin Manshu: Xiangyi, your uncle and I both think this guy is pretty good.
She watched from upstairs.
Ruan Xiangyi turned off the screen, feeling the sensation of having a knife at her neck. She had no choice but to walk over. He Wen greeted her, then politely opened the passenger door for her and raised an eyebrow at her, "What a coincidence, sister! We meet again so soon."
Ruan Xiangyi got in the car and after it drove a distance away, she shouted, "Stop."
He Wen laughed and said, "You've already gotten into my car, there's no reason for you to stop."
Ruan Xiangyi simply laid it all out and asked, "What exactly do you and Ruan Lingyu want to do to me?"
"What are you saying?" He Wen took off his sunglasses and tossed them aside, staring at her straight in the eye. "I just like you, and I asked your sister to help me introduce you to someone else," he said frivolously. "You think Ruan Lingyu is a good person? I paid a huge price to see you, okay? Xiangyi, I'm really hurt when you say that to me."
As he spoke, he sang casually: "My heart is really hurt..."
“…”
Ruan Xiangyi was speechless.
"I don't like you."
"If you don't like it, you can cultivate it."
"I can't train with you."
"That's really sad, but I don't care." He asked, "What kind of bag or jewelry do you like? Do you want to go shopping?"
His whole body exudes the feeling of "I'm rich and can get you in minutes."
Ruan Xiangyi felt unwell.
She retorted: "Are your methods of dealing with women so low?"
He Wen knew what she was talking about, but he didn't care: "If you don't like the bag, I can buy you something else."
"I like you to stay away from me!" Ruan Xiangyi gritted her teeth.
"I heard it." He Wen said shyly, "You said you like me."
...I feel like vomiting.
He Wen drove very aggressively, and soon Ruan Xiangyi felt like vomiting. She covered her forehead and said, "I'm carsick and want to vomit."
As he said this, he retched.
Seeing this, He Wen quickly said, "Hey, hey, hey, it's a new car, don't vomit in my car."
He quickly stopped the car. As soon as it stopped, Ruan Xiangyi quickly opened the door and got out, squatting on the side of the road, looking very uncomfortable.
He Wen also got out of the car and stood by the roadside. He had a hunch that she was pretending: "I'm a doctor. Do you need my help to check?"
Ruan Xiangyi was really upset and didn't want to pay attention to him.
After she recovered, she took advantage of him not noticing and ran away. He Wen stared at her figure, rubbed his cheek, and kicked the tire in frustration.
…
As the wedding approaches, Li Wenyin's schedule is very full, including trying on dresses and makeup. On the contrary, the male lead is nowhere to be seen.
Zhao Qingshi hadn't called her once in the past few days since returning from Singapore. Thinking of Li Wenyin angrily clearing out all the cosmetics on the table, the makeup artist's hands trembled.
She called her assistant and said, "Call Special Assistant Li. I want to ask Zhao Qingshi what he's been busy with lately and whether he still wants to marry me!"
"Sister Wen..." The assistant came over hesitantly, wanting to speak but hesitant. Li Wenyin was furious. She was already angry, and she took it out on her: "Tell me, who are you showing this to?"
"Sister Wen, that special assistant Li was fired yesterday." The young assistant didn't dare to look at her.
"What?" Li Wenyin frowned. "Why was he fired? What did he do wrong?"
"It seems...it's because he reported Mr. Zhao's schedule to you, so that's why..." Before the assistant finished speaking, Li Wenyin suddenly laughed.
"He's doing this for me to see." Li Wenyin sneered.
"He gave me this." The assistant handed over a student ID. "Assistant Li said he found it in Mr. Zhao's drawer. He said he hopes you can help him find...a job."
Many companies were afraid to hire people who were fired by Zhao Qingshi. With no other options, he had to use this student ID to find Li Wenyin in order to find a way to make a living.
Li Wenyin took the student ID. The photo on it showed her youthful and innocent face, with a beautiful smile. It stung her eyes and she threw it away. "It's this woman again! I haven't even settled the score with him for leaving me to go to Yuyao last time, and now he's secretly hiding her student ID. What's going on?! Does he really want to marry her?"
She remembered this woman. She was the intern reporter at her aunt's house last time. Could it be that they hooked up at that time?
I really can't believe she has such a method.
"Take this student ID to Zhao Qingshi's house." Her beautiful manicure dug into her flesh. "I want him to come and ask me to marry him personally."
