Chapter 2139 "It's not my clothes, I can't get used to wearing them"
Xiao Jun couldn't help but go to the window and look downstairs.
After a while, the girl came out of his villa.
The small leather bag that contained her money was gone, and she was only carrying an old canvas bag, which must have been the bag she brought herself. It was bulging inside, and no one knew what was in it.
Xiao Jun called her from upstairs, "Ruomu."
She turned around, looked up at him, smiled and waved at him.
"Where's the bag?" Xiao Jun asked.
She answered loudly, "I put it on the cabinet in the entrance hall for you."
Then she picked up the canvas bag and pointed inside.
Oh, so the money is in this bag.
Xiao Jun was about to ask why, but he immediately figured it out.
The more exquisite the bag you use to carry money, the more likely it is to attract other people's attention. On the contrary, no one would have thought that her old canvas bag contained 100,000 cash.
This little girl thinks things through much more thoroughly than he does...
Afterwards, Ruomu waved goodbye to him and walked out of the villa gate. Xiao Jun's gaze also followed her back as she walked out of the gate.
In the past few moments, the snow on the ground had become thick. She wrapped her coat tightly, hunched her neck, and walked carefully on the snow-covered corridor outside the villa.
Soon, her figure was obscured by the trees on the roadside and could no longer be seen.
Looking at the trail of footprints, Xiao Jun suddenly realized that he had forgotten to ask her which district of Haicheng she was in or what job she did.
Just let her go...
But he also felt that there was no need for him to inquire about her life. They would not have any intersection in the future, so it was better not to ask.
However, there was still some distance from the villa to the manor gate, so he seemed to have to go and see her off.
Besides, it was a rare snowfall, so maybe he should seize the opportunity to paint a snow scene, just as if he was sketching outside, and give it to her at the same time.
Thinking of this, Xiao Jun quickly put away the easel, tucked the drawing board under his arm, and left the study.
When he came downstairs and was about to change his shoes, he remembered her single dress. Xiao Jun put down his easel and drawing board and ran back to the suite upstairs.
He walked through his own cloakroom and opened the door to the ladies' closet in the suite.
This time, looking at those clothes, he didn't care about being sad. He hurriedly picked up a white down jacket and walked out.
Just as he walked out of his own cloakroom, he stopped, stepped back, picked up a scarf, and then ran downstairs quickly.
In this way, Xiao Jun came to the small electric car in the courtyard, holding the easel in one hand, the drawing board under his arm, and the down jacket and scarf in the other hand.
He put the easel and drawing board into the back seat of the car, put the clothes and scarf on the passenger seat, then sat in the cockpit and turned the key to start the car.
This is an electric car, originally owned by a gardener, but Xiao Jun felt that the car was small and easy to turn around, and it was very convenient to drive on a daily basis, so he occasionally used it in the manor.
When the weather is good, he will drive this small car to the beautiful places in the garden to sketch. It is much more useful than those luxury cars worth tens of millions in his garage.
Today, the car was very uncooperative. I don’t know if it was because of the cold weather, but it wouldn’t start.
The more anxious he was, the more trouble he would cause. Xiao Jun suppressed his anger and got out of the car.
He opened the hood of the car and checked the wiring. He remembered that the gardener sometimes removed the negative terminal of the battery, saying that it was because of the cold weather and to prevent the battery from running low.
But after opening the hood, he found that the positive and negative poles were connected properly and there was no problem. After closing the hood, he kicked the front bumper in annoyance.
This kick actually turned on the car lights.
Xiao Jun originally wanted to drive his own car, but when he saw the headlights on, he no longer hesitated and immediately returned to the car, turned the key again, and the car started!
It seems that there is poor contact. The kick gave the car electricity.
Xiao Jun's mood improved. Without thinking too much, he drove along the corridor towards the gate of the house.
However, his running back and forth took some time, and when he caught up with Ruomu, she had already reached the gate.
But at least they caught up, Xiao Jun breathed a sigh of relief and honked the horn twice.
Ruomu stopped, turned around and looked at him in confusion.
Xiao Jun picked up the clothes and scarf on the passenger seat, got out of the car and came to her.
A lot of snowflakes had fallen on Ruomu's head and clothes.
Xiao Jun reached out to help her brush the snowflakes off her hair, wrapped the scarf around her neck, and handed her the clothes in his hand: "Change into this."
Ruomu raised her head and stared at him blankly. Her eyes were beautiful to begin with, and now, set against the backdrop of the snow, they looked even brighter.
At this moment, Xiao Jun saw some indescribable emotions in her eyes.
"Are you here specifically to bring me clothes and a scarf?"
"Yes, not entirely... I came out to paint, so I brought you some clothes. Yours is too thin."
Ruomu took off her scarf, stood on tiptoe, and put it around his neck, saying with a smile, "You're wearing much less than me, so keep the down jacket for yourself. I'm very cold-tolerant, otherwise you won't be able to hold your paintbrush."
"This is not my clothes. I can't wear it. Take it quickly."
But she waved her hand, took a step back, and said politely, "Really, no need. Besides, these clothes are not mine. I'm not used to wearing them."
"It's just a piece of clothing, what's there to be uncomfortable with?"
She still shook her head: "Sister, this dress is so clean, I don't even dare to sit down when I put it on, let alone work."
"The sweater I gave you last time was also a color that doesn't last long. Didn't you accept it?"
"I..." She bit her lip and suddenly changed the subject, saying, "I forgot to tell you, I saw the money you left in my bag. Thank you. And when I wrote the IOU just now, I also added that amount."
Xiao Jun didn't pay attention to the amount on the IOU, nor did he care about that matter.
He just couldn't understand why the little girl who was so scared of him suddenly changed.
Before, she didn't dare to breathe in front of him. He asked her to change her old shirt, and she thought she had to change it in front of him, so she agreed despite the embarrassment.
And when he was rude to her in the bathroom, she didn't even say "no" and let him do whatever he wanted.
How come she suddenly became so stubborn after not seeing her for a few days? Or has she always been like this, but just because she works under him, she has to obey him?
Now that they no longer have an employment relationship, she doesn't need to obey him at his beck and call?
Xiao Jun took a step forward and still wanted to give her the clothes.
She glanced outside the manor and said to him apologetically, "I'm sorry, Master Xiao, I have to go now. You should go back as well."
Xiao Jun didn't intend to glance outside the manor, but saw a young man in a jacket standing at the door, looking at them with a worried look.
Xiao Jun frowned and looked at Ruomu: "Who is he?"
