Chapter 14 The Gears of Destiny Rumble



He Ran officially announced his fiancée, Gou An, on his WeChat Moments.

Everything seems so legitimate.

Lu Wan took the last bus home.

On the bus, she held her phone with the Moments screen open all the way and cried sadly.

Tears almost drowned the comment section on the screen where mutual friends on WeChat sent blessings to He Ran and Gou An.

Half an hour had passed by the time the bus finally arrived near her home.

The area where Lu Wan's home is located is some distance away from Jiangcheng A University. In fact, normal university students choose to live in dormitories, but most of the young masters or rich girls are unwilling to live in shabby dormitories. The reason why Lu Wan does not live in the dormitory is that her nights are also very busy.

She was always running between the hospital and various temporary work places.

Lu Wan cried until her head was swollen. She wiped her tears and got off the bus in a daze. Her long hair stuck to her little face in a messy way, making her originally pretty face look even more pitiful.

The phone rang and she was startled, thinking it was He Ran. She bit her lower lip and picked it up to take a look, only to find that it was the hospital.

"Hello, is this Miss Lu? We may have found a suitable □□. I wonder if you would consider the surgery for your relative Ms. Lu Linlang? If you agree to the surgery, please come to the hospital tonight to sign and pay the deposit first--"

After the ecstasy, there was a blankness in the brain caused by the astronomical cost of the surgery.

Lu Wan stretched out his hand to hail a taxi and rushed to the hospital. He signed the document and felt like he was in a dream.

[The deposit for the surgery is 50,000 yuan. We will wait for you for up to 48 hours. Please understand. We know it’s not easy for you, little girl, but you also know that there are many people with financial resources waiting in line behind you□□——]

The words of the doctor on duty echoed in his mind. After a night of ups and downs, Lu Wan was overwhelmed and couldn't breathe.

Reason told her that if she called He Ran right now and told him to agree to the money that the He family had promised to give her as a token of gratitude for saving her life, all her problems would be solved...

But when she took out her cell phone, she realized that she had just deleted He Ran's friend.

Along with all their mutual friends.

It was like fate was playing a joke on her.

Tomorrow is the last day of normal classes. He Ran is a graduate student and may not be in school every day. Moreover, he mentioned before that the college basketball league will start soon, so he will be very busy during this period...

She didn't know how to contact the He family to get the money, so she could only find a way to fill the gap herself.

Before she knew it, she had arrived at Ye Weiyang's door.

Jiangcheng's largest entertainment venue. In this open port city, Jiangcheng is the gathering place for all kinds of luxurious entertainment activities at night... I heard that the people inside, after opening a set of 120,000 yuan of wine, probably only get a free parking ticket for that night, and they don't even have the honor of being reported by the whole venue.

Lu Wan stood at the door for a while, went around to the back alley, took out his cell phone, made a call, and then began to daydream.

Five minutes later, the tattered iron gate in the back alley of Ye Weiyang was opened from the inside, and about twenty-five young men in jeans walked out from behind the door.

He had a shaved head, but it could not hide the shock his handsome face could bring to people. However, his overly deep eyes almost melted into the night, adding a hint of ruthlessness to his young and handsome face.

Even passers-by can easily smell the scent of someone who is not to be trifled with.

He walked up to Lu Wan expressionlessly and stood still: "What's wrong?"

His voice was low and slightly hoarse, as if he hadn't spoken for a few hours. I guess he was a quiet person on weekdays.

Hearing his voice, Lu Wan's shoulders trembled slightly, and he raised his head to look at the person in front of him. The latter's eyes flickered: "Have you cried?"

Lu Wan's tears gathered in her eyes again, "I need some money within two days...you, you help me."

The young man was silent for a moment, raised his lip corners, and asked sarcastically: "Where is your rich second-generation boyfriend?"

Lu Wan lowered his head and shook it weakly.

"Dumped?" The young man sneered, "Why, he turned around and reconciled with his rich fiancée?"

"...Don't say any more—"

“What about the scholarship?”

"I didn't get first place... and it wasn't enough."

"...quick money is always dirty, Wanwan."

Facing the pretty girl who kept sobbing, the man standing in front of her pointed to the tall building behind him, hidden in the neon lights. It was like a devil's cave in the darkness that could devour people's hearts.

"You come here part-time, and the tens of thousands of yuan you make might just be the commission from some idiot who's in a good mood and opened a wine franchise, but you may not be able to get away with it unscathed."

Lu Wan tightly grasped the straps of her schoolbag, her face pale but her eyes determined as she raised her head: "I know, I'm coming."

There was a brief silence.

"OK."

He smiled, but the smile did not penetrate into his dark eyes.

"what ever."

The other side.

Curled up in He Jinxing's Maybach, Gou An was carefully glancing at the person sitting next to him out of the corner of his eye.

Compared to his meticulous and rigorous performance at the welcome party, he was much more relaxed now. He had three buttons unbuttoned on his shirt, and his hair was brushed back to make it look a little messy...

His profile is so handsome that it is inhumane.

He was on the phone, and the person on the other end was probably a school leader, because after listening patiently for a moment, the man calmly asked: Since there is no problem with the first place, why not give the scholarship? There was silence on the phone at first, and then Gou An couldn't hear what he said next, but he said a few words in a panic and hung up the phone.

He Jinxing always seems to speak like this, gently and without emotion, but he can unexpectedly give people a creepy pressure.

This kind of suffocating complacency is sympathetic and understandable.

He Jinxing put away his phone and did not explain anything to Gou An, as if he had completely forgotten that she was the "number one with no problems" he mentioned. He put her aside as if she were a transparent person and started reading emails on his iPad.

The atmosphere inside the car is harmonious to the point of being subtle.

Gou An's fingers unconsciously scratched the stitching of the handmade leather in the car. It was a little hard to believe the current plot development -

What does that mean? She won? Now her fiancé, the male supporting actor who was originally going to cancel the engagement with her, suddenly got carried away and officially announced her identity as his fiancée, and she still went home in the male lead's car.

The heroine...

Maybe I can only take the last bus with tears in my eyes?

Meow hahahahahaha!

[Jiao Jiao: Too naive? ]

Gou An:? [Jiao Jiao: Have you ever read a domineering boss novel? According to statistics, 35% of the beginning of a traditional domineering boss novel is all about sadomasochism. Isn't it normal for the heroine to suffer some setbacks? First, the male supporting role breaks up and gets back together with the heroine, then the male protagonist takes over, and the male protagonist breaks up and gets back together with the heroine again...]

Gou An was still a little unconvinced: But that idiot He Ran just announced me -

【Jiao Jiao: Haven’t you seen the plot where the male supporting role or the male protagonist abandons the female protagonist for a trivial matter and the female protagonist is heartbroken while the female supporting role shows off! This is a well-known routine that you can guess without reading the original novel! And then the plot comes to the “break up” part of the “break up and get back together” between the male supporting role and the female protagonist? ! 】

Gou An: ????

Gou An: Fool? [Jiao Jiao: That’s how the script is written. Wake up, female supporting role! ]

How do the male supporting role and the male protagonist perform a sadistic love scene with the female protagonist? Of course, the vicious female supporting role who is temporarily successful is indispensable...

If the script at this moment has a storyboard——

The heroine is sitting on a tattered bus, with her head against the window, staring at the night view of the street outside with tears streaming down her face; everything in the picture must be that the successful female supporting role is sitting in the hero's Maybach, thinking she has won and the corners of her lips are raised wildly.

Gou An: ...

Turning his head to look at the corners of his lips that were curled up in joy almost like Doraemon, Gou An raised his hand speechlessly to pull the corners of his lips back to their original curve.

Gou An: So what I did just now was just a process of the heroine going through heart-wrenching pain? [Jiao Jiao: Yes. ]

[Jiao Jiao: You set your own pace well, you are worthy of being the author's good female partner and a good tool for the development of the plot. ]

[Jiao Jiao: Wait, let me see if the system can give me some bonus if I serve as a tool——Okay, no. 】

Gou An: ...

Gou An: Dare you be even more stingy!

Gou An: We don’t ask the system to give us eyes as charming as silk, skin as white as cream, or peerless famous instruments. At least—

[Jiao Jiao: Which website did you read the domineering boss novel on? ]

Gou An: ...Can't I just shrink the pores on the tip of my nose? [Jiao Jiao: ...]

Gou An: a stingy person.

[Banana: Here is a tip from the stingy guy: During the brief breakup between the male supporting role and the female lead, the female lead may do something to get close to the male lead by mistake.]

Gou An: ...

[Jiao Jiao: We don’t know the specific plot. We only know the part about you committing suicide that promotes the script.]

Gou An: Tell me what the use of you is!

[Jiao Jiao: It’s all because the hero’s friendliness towards you is too low. You can’t see any plot points. Can you blame me for this, meow meow meow! 凸皿凸]

Gou An: Stupid cat, don't try to PUA me. To be honest, He Jinxing's friendliness has also increased a little tonight——

【Jiao Jiao: Always be vigilant! 】

He Jinxing was originally replying to an email. While he was thinking about the wording, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the girl sitting next to him and she suddenly startled.

The whole person was as stiff as a shrimp.

Then he let out a nervous burp.

He Jinxing looked at her in confusion, "Cold?"

Gou An shook his head frantically, thought about it, and nodded. At this time, there was no need for Mr. He to give any extra instructions. The driver in front turned off the air conditioner and lowered the window.

The car slowly drove into the high-end villa community where Gou and He lived. The community was built on the hillside, with a large green coverage and sparse population. The early autumn evening breeze mixed with the smell of soil and tuberose blew into the car.

The Gou family lived a little closer, and the Maybach stopped in front of the familiar courtyard gate. Gou Anbian couldn't wait to open the door and climb out of the car.

The door closed with a loud bang.

He Jinxing raised his eyebrows.

The Maybach restarted, and at this moment, another head popped in from behind the open window in the back seat.

The girl who had gone back obviously didn't know that she was almost deducted points again. At this time, she was lying on the edge of the window, staring at the man with her dark eyes, moving anxiously in her eye sockets...

She hesitated to speak.

He Jinxing recalled that he probably said the word "cold" to her as a question in the car tonight, so he couldn't understand what was wrong with her that she looked at him timidly with the eyes of a heinous murderer.

"He... um, uncle."

The little girl's canvas shoes were rubbing against the asphalt road outside until they were about to spark.

"Thank you for tonight." She winked. "I'm sorry I seem to have stained the outer layer of your suit."

Half of the bottle of Coke was spilled on Gou An, and when the two of them were fighting for the microphone, his coat fell to the ground and someone stepped on it...

It was indeed dirty.

It doesn’t matter if I go to Hejin.

However, before he could say anything, the little girl's pale arm had already stretched out from the window gap without any warning: "I'll take it to the shop where Dad often washes suits and clean it. I guarantee it will be handled perfectly and then returned to you."

The white and delicate hands were spread out in front of Mr. He. The fingers were not slender, but because they never did housework, they looked plump, delicate and soft.

There was also a faint sweet fragrance, as if the bottle of sweet cola had splashed into her blood.

He Jinxing raised his eyelids and lazily looked at the person whose head and arms - almost half of his upper body was sticking into the car - outside the window gap. The latter blinked sincerely.

As if to say: Speak, what are you hesitating about? For a long time.

Gou An, who was lying on the car door, felt the atmosphere in the car suddenly relaxed.

"Can."

This was the second word He Jinxing said to Gou An after getting on the car tonight. It replaced good night and became their last conversation that night.
