"Axue, do you remember what I told you?" Li Hanting's calm eyes fell on the woman's beautiful face. There was no ripple, but the tone still revealed a hint of something unusual.
Su Ruixue was stunned: "Brother Han Ting, what did you say?"
"So—I've already forgotten."
It was clearly a very ordinary sentence, but Su Ruixue felt a pang in her heart for some reason.
Then the man looked away and said in a calm tone, "You don't need to come here again. You know what kind of woman I hate the most."
Su Ruixue's pretty little face suddenly turned as pale as paper.
She looked at the godlike man in front of her in disbelief, hiding the turmoil in her heart, and pretended to be pitiful and asked, "Brother Han Ting, what's wrong? Are you angry?"
"Is it because I took the initiative to call Secretary Qin? I, I just missed you so much...that's why I couldn't control myself." Su Ruixue couldn't help crying as she spoke. "Brother Han Ting, please don't be like this, okay? You make me feel so confused and helpless."
Li Hanting looked at the woman across from him coldly from beginning to end. Somehow, the image of that woman, whose beauty, even without makeup, could not be concealed, flashed through his mind. He couldn't help but wonder what her attitude would be if she was abandoned by someone?
Oh.
There is almost no need to think too much, because you will just find someone better than your ex.
Whenever Li Hanting thought of the scene in the afternoon when he encountered that woman holding the child in the amusement park, he couldn't control his anger.
I don't know what I was angry about, but at that moment, I felt like destroying everything.
The sound of a lighter interrupted Su Ruixue's sobs.
She raised her head and saw Li Hanting slowly exhaling a smoke ring, and his slender finger bones flicked the ash in the ashtray.
The words he spoke slowly made Su Ruixue's heart plummet.
"A person who doesn't know his own place and covets things that don't belong to him. Ah Xue, do you know what kind of person I hate the most?"
With these words, Li Hanting looked at her deeply, then stood up and left.
Su Ruixue felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar. She finally remembered what Li Hanting had said to her when she was first allowed to enter the Li family.
"There are many greedy people. What qualifications do you have for me to look up to you, Miss Su?"
How did she respond?
She said: "I believe that time reveals a person's true character, and I also believe that love does not need any reason at all."
If I like something, I like it, without any external factors involved.
That's what she thought.
Then Li Hanting gave her a mocking look and said nothing. She thought that he was moved by her words and that was why he gave her the opportunity to get close to him.
In fact, he did give her a chance, but it wasn't the so-called heart-throb or infatuated with her face.
It was not until this moment that Su Ruixue realized that opportunities always exist, but they are not permanent.
Just then, the sound of footsteps came from the kitchen.
Xia Yuan ran out with an orange in his hand. He put it on the coffee table. Looking back, he saw a servant in the kitchen pretending to chase him. Xia Yuan giggled and ran away quickly.
The child's innocent smile was like a bell, making the whole villa lively.
Su Ruixue dug her nails into her palms. She didn't believe that if she treated Li Jinchen like that, Li Hanting would know that he was a fool who knew nothing... But looking at him today, the child in front of him was completely different from the fool in her memory.
"Miss Su." The housekeeper appeared out of nowhere. Seeing Su Ruixue raise her head, he said gently but politely, "The master asked me to take you out!"
Su Ruixue's face turned pale as if she had suffered a great injustice. She widened her eyes slightly and was stunned for only a few seconds. Then she stood up awkwardly, picked up her bag and turned to leave.
He Meiqi came out of the kitchen and saw this scene. She called out to her in surprise: "Ruixue, why did you leave? Where's Han Ting?"
Su Ruixue stopped and didn't look back, "Auntie, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first..."
Although he tried to hide his embarrassment, his heavy and low sobbing voice still revealed a hint of crying.
He Meiqi immediately realized something was wrong. She put down the plate and quickly walked over to Su Ruixue. Sure enough, she saw that her eyes were red. "What's wrong? Did Han Ting say something to make you angry?"
"No, don't misunderstand, Auntie..."
"What do you mean, don't misunderstand me? Can't I tell whether you're okay or not?" He Meiqi immediately asked the butler beside her, "What's going on? What does Li Hanting mean?"
The housekeeper said calmly, "Madam, the master asked me to send Miss Su out."
As for the housekeeper, the nature of his job is similar to Qin Zhe's, except that one is responsible for internal affairs and the other is responsible for external affairs.
Of course, Qin Zhe also told the housekeeper what happened in the kindergarten, including what Xia Yuan said when he complained.
The housekeeper felt a sharp pain in his heart upon hearing this. The young master was being held in their care, and every bump and scrape he suffered was so painful that he wished it were happening to him. Yet, because of their negligence, the young master was being looked down upon by outsiders.
How can this be?
The housekeeper felt that he was already extremely tolerant by not instructing the servants to make things difficult for Su Ruixue.
So, when the master gave the order, the butler was not polite at all and did not even want to maintain basic personal manners.
"How could Li Hanting do this? Ren Ruixue came all the way here, and he—"
He Meiqi wanted to say more when she was interrupted by Su Ruixue: "Auntie, don't blame Brother Han Ting. It's my fault for making Brother Han Ting angry. I have something to do at work. I will explain to Brother Han Ting later. Auntie, I'll leave first."
Su Ruixue is not stupid, which can be seen from the housekeeper's attitude.
Although the Su family was not as good as the Li family, she was not the type to seek humiliation. After saying this hurriedly, she left the Li residence quickly regardless of He Meiqi's attempts to keep her.
When she got into the car, her pretty face was completely replaced by a sinister look.
Turning her head to look at the luxurious European-style villa in front of her, Su Ruixue gripped the steering wheel tightly with both hands. She told herself not to be angry, because sooner or later he would move in.
Will become the high and mighty mistress of the Li family!
She will!
…
He Meiqi called out several times, but failed to get Su Ruixue to stop.
After watching Su Ruixue leave, He Meiqi turned around and asked the housekeeper: "What happened to Han Ting? What did Ruixue do to him?"
The housekeeper hesitated, not knowing whether to tell Su Ruixue about her double-faced behavior, acting like a real stepmother, and humiliating the young master...
He Meiqi didn't listen to his explanation, turned around and planned to go upstairs to find Li Hanting to explain things clearly.
