"So that's how it is. Chaosheng is just having a one-sided crush." Xu Chaomu poured Lin Ruanruan a drink while sitting in the private room. "Although this restaurant isn't as famous as Li Ji, it's still a well-known Black Pearl restaurant. The food is pretty good. Give it a try."
Lin Ruanruan accepted the drink and thanked her. "My friend prefers studying and doesn't plan to date right now. After all, we are still students and should focus on our studies."
Did you hear that? You need to focus on your studies. All your brother does is bother people all day long.
Lin Ruanruan felt a little relieved when she glimpsed Uncle Wang having dinner with Xu Chaomu's assistant and driver through the openwork art wall of the private room. With Uncle Wang around, she was safe no matter what.
“I’ll talk to him when I get back. Your friend must be quite troubled, right?” Xu Chaomu said with a smile.
Lin Ruanruan pursed her lips, "It is a little..."
It's really very troubling, okay?
Xu Chaomu raised an eyebrow, looking at Lin Ruanruan with a good mood, and reached out to use serving chopsticks to put food on her plate. "Don't be shy, I remember you're a foodie."
"Thank you, Brother Chaomu."
Lin Ruanruan paused slightly, feeling a little uncomfortable. How did Xu Chaomu know what she liked to eat? They were meeting for the first time today. But she didn't plan to ask, knowing that saying too much would only lead to trouble.
Lin Ruanruan found the meal tasteless, but from Xu Chaomu's perspective, she enjoyed it immensely.
Seeing this made him eat more.
After the meal, Xu Chaomu asked Lin Ruanruan how the food was. "If you enjoyed it, little sister, I'll take you to a private restaurant in the northern suburbs next time. Their Sichuan cuisine is really good."
"Thank you, Brother Chaomu. I will definitely go if I have the chance." Lin Ruanruan said, but in her heart she was thinking that there was no chance at all. The pressure of having dinner with Xu Chaomu was too great.
However, Xu Chaomu didn't play by the rules at all. "Then let's set a time, how about today next week? I guess you'll come here again next week to help with your anxiety."
Lin Ruanruan had already seen Uncle Wang drive the car from the parking lot when she saw him arrive. She politely declined, saying, "Next week is the 20th anniversary of our Lin Group, so I'm afraid I won't be available."
Seeing that Xu Chaomu was about to speak, she immediately got into the car and said, "Goodbye, please drive carefully on your way home."
After saying that, Lin Ruanruan gestured for Uncle Wang to leave quickly.
Xu Chaomu stood there watching Lin Ruanruan's car disappear at the intersection before chuckling softly. He got into the car, and the driver immediately started the engine.
Looking at the bustling traffic outside, Xu Chaosheng wore a pleased expression. He hadn't expected Lin Ruanruan to be so afraid of him. "She actually got rejected. That's much more interesting than Ye Luo..."
The fact that Lin's daughter is also a good background is very advantageous to him. She comes from a poor peasant family, has a clean and honest background, and is very beneficial to him.
"Increase the number of people on Lin Ruanruan's side, and report to me in detail no matter what happens."
The assistant in the front row quickly replied, "Yes, Mr. Xu."
...
Seeing that she had finally left, Lin Ruanruan could finally relax her tense expression, which now looked like a little bitter gourd.
Uncle Wang found it amusing. "Miss, why do you have that expression? Didn't you eat enough?"
Lin Ruanruan pouted. Uncle Wang, unaware of her inner pain, sighed, "Sigh, this is the sorrow of an adult."
She knew Xu Chaomu wasn't a good person, but Uncle Wang didn't.
Thinking of this, she took out her phone and told Huo Qi about it. She felt that it was very abnormal for Xu Chaomu to appear at the psychological clinic.
However, Huo Qi's attention was entirely focused on Xu Chaomu taking Lin Ruanruan out to dinner, so he made a phone call directly.
"Ruanruan, just refuse him next time. Don't eat with someone like him who's full of scheming."
"Yes, I have trypophobia and I'm most afraid of people who are cunning. Don't worry."
Lin Ruanruan smiled.
Huo Qi, still worried, gave her several more instructions, and Lin Ruanruan agreed to everything he said.
After finally hanging up Huo Qi's call, Lin Ruanruan breathed a sigh of relief, wondering why Xu Chaomu had approached her.
She had a very clear understanding of herself. She wasn't a stunning beauty who would attract attention, and she was just a high school student. There was no way Xu Chaomu would come for her.
Were they there for her parents?
However, the Lin family and the Xu family have no connection whatsoever in their businesses. The Xu family had their eyes on the Xuanyuan family because they wanted to become the leader. To this end, they even sent Xu Yelu to get close to Xuanyuan Aochen, but they were unsuccessful.
So what is Xu Chaomu planning to do now? In the original text, Xu Chaomu is an unpredictable person.
Seeing him today, I can confirm his reputation is well-deserved. Even just eating with him made me feel terrified.
Meanwhile, Huo Qi was also pondering Xu Chaomu's motives. Xu Chaomu was the kind of person who wouldn't act without self-interest, and he didn't believe that Xu Chaomu's approach to Ruan Ruan was out of kindness.
But it's not convenient for him to make any big moves right now, since the Fang family is still fishing.
He could only arrange for more people to protect Ruan Ruan, so that no matter what Xu Chaomu wanted to do, he couldn't hurt Ruan Ruan.
...
Time quickly came to the 20th anniversary of the Lin family. Lin Ruanruan was still dreaming when Ms. Li Shuzhen dug her out of bed.
She was still in a daze even after being dressed up beautifully. After changing her clothes, Xuan Yuan Hao Cheng saw that Lin Ruan Ruan was still out of it and patted her head, "Wake up, we're about to leave."
Lin Ruanruan covered her face in anguish, "Can I not go? I'm so sleepy right now, and there are so many people going to greet me over there..."
"You're the Lin family's daughter, is it appropriate for you not to attend your company's anniversary celebration?"
Lin Ruanruan looked at the handsome Xuan Yuanhaocheng and said weakly, "Isn't there still you? You're still my parents' godson."
