Chapter 2203 Love Rival is Coming
After passing the big iron gate, there is a very long corridor.
There are towering trees on both sides of the road. The trees are bleak in winter, and the sunlight shines through the branches, sparse and without much warmth.
Ruomu grew up in the mountains and had heard adults say that some trees cannot be cut down. If such trees are cut down, the fine is light, but there are also cases of life imprisonment.
She looked at the big trees on both sides of the road and could identify at least two rare varieties. Even the artificially cultivated tree species that could be traded were not affordable for everyone.
He looked out the car window at the gray building in the distance.
A feeling of oppression suddenly arose.
At this time, Xiao Jun's warm palm wrapped around her hand and squeezed it.
Ruomu looked at the person beside him, felt a little relieved, and then moved closer to him.
The car finally stopped in front of a castle-like building.
There is a large fountain in front of the door, and in front of the fountain is a large lawn. In the middle of the lawn is a winding path. There are scattered cold-resistant low shrubs planted on the path and the lawn, which are staggered and arranged very beautifully.
After Ruomu came to the city, he went to a street garden with a large lawn. He thought it was very nice, but it was still far inferior to Young Master Xiao's house.
In short, from every blade of grass and every tree, Ruomu has already felt that the wealth of Young Master Xiao's family is not ordinary wealth, but a kind of wealth that she cannot imagine even with her imagination.
After the car stopped at the main gate, a man in a suit came over quickly and helped them open the door.
Xiao Jun got out of the car first, then he handed his hand to Ruomu, who took his hand and got out of the car as well.
The two walked towards the front door together. At this time, there were three men in suits standing on each side of the door, all with grim expressions.
Ruomu's palms began to sweat as he looked at this situation.
Xiao Jun smiled at her and said, "Just treat them as cabbages or wooden stakes."
Ruomu imagined the cabbage and the wooden stakes, pursed her lips and smiled, then nodded to Xiao Jun.
The two walked into the house, passed through the entrance corridor, and came to the central hall.
Uncle Wei asked them to sit on the sofa and wait for a while while he went to talk to Mr. Xiao.
Xiao Jun nodded and said to Ruomu, "Even if you want to see your own father, you still need someone to inform him. Isn't that a bit absurd?"
Ruomu smiled and said, "It's like meeting the emperor."
And Young Master Xiao is like the prince.
Xiao Jun also smiled bitterly and took her to the sofa.
Sitting on the large white leather sofa in the upper area, Ruomu looked around. On one side of the central hall was a fan-shaped staircase that spiraled and extended upwards, a bit like Young Master Xiao's art gallery.
I looked up at the dome again and thought the stained glass on the ceiling was particularly beautiful.
It feels more like a palace...
Young Master Xiao's home and the home where she grew up were like two extremes, one was like a cold and aloof palace, the other was like a gloomy dungeon.
They are all cold, but they are all the same.
No wonder Young Master Xiao likes the Bay Apartment. That apartment is not as luxurious, but it is very warm.
Ruomu had been there for less than five minutes when she began to miss the warmth of the apartment. She wanted to return to their little world, cook with him, do housework together, and paint with him...
After a few minutes, footsteps were heard from the second floor.
Ruomu looked over and saw a tall uncle wearing a black stand-up collar shirt coming down from the stairs, followed by Butler Wei.
She guessed that this middle-aged man with extraordinary bearing should be Young Master Xiao's father.
Xiao Jun stood up and she stood up too.
Father Xiao came up to them and greeted Xiao Jun: "You're back."
"Yes, father."
Ruo Muxin said that in his own family, calling him father instead of dad would be too distant and polite.
But on second thought, if they were not alienated, Young Master Xiao would not want to go back to the old house for a single day.
Father Xiao glanced at Ruomu.
Ruomu was just about to say hello, uncle, but Father Xiao's gaze had already shifted away, as if it was just an unintentional glance and he didn't take her seriously.
However, Xiao Jun still took her hand, took a step forward, and took the initiative to introduce: "Father, this is..."
"Ruomu, right?" Father Xiao glanced at Ruomu again and said to Xiao Jun, "I know. Old Wei told me that this little girl was your former servant and is now your housekeeper."
The smile on Ruomu's face froze, and finally he pursed his lips.
She silently pulled her hand out of Xiao Jun's.
But just as she was about to pull her hand back, he held it tightly again.
"She's not a housekeeper, nor a servant. Ruomu is my girlfriend now." Xiao Jun said.
Father Xiao smiled and pointed at Xiao Jun, but there was no smile in his eyes, only suppressed anger.
Ruomu gently shook Xiao Jun's hand.
She didn't want Xiao Jun's relationship with his father to become more strained because of this, and of course she didn't expect Xiao's father to immediately recognize her.
Why does everyone in someone's house like her when she comes to them? That doesn't make sense.
Father Xiao stopped laughing and said to Xiao Jun, "What girlfriend or no girlfriend? You two are just playing house. It doesn't matter. If you want to play house with a little girl, then go ahead. I don't object. Just don't let it interfere with your business."
Ruomu heard the hidden meaning in Xiao's father's words. Playing house sounds nice, but it actually means having fun.
After playing, I calmed down and still had to follow my father's arrangements.
Xiao Jun said: "We are not..."
Father Xiao raised his hand, interrupting Xiao Jun's words, his face returning to a serious expression: "We have guests at home today. Old Wei will arrange a room for Ruomu later. Xiao Jun, come with me to say hello to Sisi, and then we'll prepare to eat."
"Which Sisi?"
Father Xiao was about to turn around, but when he heard Xiao Jun's words, he stopped and a look of displeasure flashed in his eyes.
Ruomu had never gotten along with Xiao's father, but he felt that he was a man of his word. Perhaps Xiao Jun's problem made him feel that he was being disobeyed...
Father Xiao said: "Qin Sisi once lived in our house when she was little. She was just a chubby little girl at that time."
Xiao Jun nodded. "Oh, the one who dyed the minibus pink and used my picture frame as firewood."
Father Xiao smiled. "Now he's not so willful anymore, nor is he fat anymore. He's grown into a very generous person. You'll know when you see him later."
Ruomu could tell that Qin Sisi might not have left a good impression on Xiao Jun, but she was the person that Xiao's father wanted to match him up with.
But Master Xiao obviously didn't want to see Sisi. He said to his father, "I'll see her at dinner later anyway, so I won't go say hello to her. I want to go back to my room and change clothes first."
"Ajun, now I'm talking, are you not listening anymore?"
After Father Xiao said this, Ruomu felt that the air around him had become several degrees colder.
At the same time, Uncle Wei next to him kept winking at Young Master Xiao.
But before Xiao Jun could bow his head and surrender, there was a sudden sound of thudding noises on the stairs.
