Chapter 2149 Falling is easy
Ruomu shook her head. "I'm sorry, Master Xiao, I can't agree to this. You won't live in this garden forever, and I don't want to be a nanny forever. I have places I want to go and things I want to do, so... I will slowly work and pay you back."
As she spoke, she took a step back.
Xiao Jun nodded, understanding that she just wanted to draw a clear line between them.
Don't take advantage of him for a penny, and don't stay with him for another day.
Even though she slept on his lap last night and opened her heart to him about her life story, she had no intention of having too much interaction with him.
He was thinking too much.
Ruomu asked again: "What did you want to tell me just now?"
Xiao Jun looked into her eyes and said calmly, "Forgot."
Ruomu nodded and bent down to pick up the broken pieces of the water cup on the ground.
"No need to clean up, someone will clean it up, you can go now."
Ruomu responded, stood up and walked towards the door.
Before she opened the door, Xiao Jun thought of something and called her: "When I took you back to your room last night, were you awake?"
Her back stiffened, and she turned around and smiled at him: "Yes, I woke up when you left, but fell asleep quickly."
Xiao Jun looked at her, pondering her words, so Ruomu knew that he had kissed her.
Is it because I offended her and scared her last night that I insisted on leaving?
After all, if you stay with him, you will get good treatment and high salary. Why do you have to go to the city alone to make a living?
Didn't she say before that she wanted to gain some experience here, save some money and then go out and make a living?
Now he took the initiative to keep her, but the girl insisted on leaving.
What made her have to leave? What made her resolutely draw a line between herself and him, even refusing to accept a piece of clothing he gave her? It could only be because of what happened last night.
"So, is it because I offended you last night?"
After he asked, Ruomu smiled and shook her head: "No, I can understand. I heard that you city people have goodnight kisses and so on. It should be a kind of etiquette. I didn't think much about it."
Xiao Jun smiled bitterly, feeling that the girl's words were a great irony to him.
She was very smart and gave him enough face, even describing his behavior of kissing her secretly and almost taking off her clothes as a kind of etiquette.
But he was also completely certain that Ruomu was scared away by him.
When Uncle Wei drugged him, he offended Ruomu, but that was beyond his control, and Ruomu understood him.
He did something out of line when he was drunk, which was understandable, and Ruomu still understood him.
If he hadn't fired her, Ruomu would still be by her side.
But last night was different. He was sober last night and offended her, making her feel in danger.
Even if she was offended, she didn't dare to slap him, and even if she felt wronged, she didn't dare to accuse him of anything.
The only thing she could do was run away.
Just like a rabbit in the wilderness, living at the bottom of the food chain on the grassland, almost all carnivores love to eat her. She has no ability to fight back. When encountering danger, her first reaction is to run away, running desperately. This is her instinct and also her survival skill.
After figuring this out, Xiao Jun understood Ruomu and would no longer force her to do anything.
Just let her live the way she wants and he will let her go.
He said to the girl who was still standing at the door, waiting for his order to let her go, "You didn't bring anything when you came last night. Go find Wu Ling and get some money from him. As for clothes, take two sets from the cloakroom inside. When you get to Haicheng, buy new clothes and mail them back."
Ruomu pursed her lips, her eyes reddened, "Thank you, then I'll go find Brother Wu Ling first."
"Go." Xiao Jun turned around dejectedly.
The sound of the door closing was heard and Ruomu left.
Xiao Jun looked down at the broken pieces of the cup on the ground, remembering how he had forced Xiao Jiu to give him a gift.
He had bought a lot of things for her at auctions, and when she refused to accept them, he was devastated and almost uncontrollably took out his frustration on the auction items.
He destroyed those famous paintings and porcelains in front of Xiaojiu.
The fear he saw on Xiaojiu's face that day, he also saw on Ruomu's face today.
He suddenly felt that everything had returned to the starting point.
All the efforts he made to change himself were gone with the breaking of the cup, and he seemed to be still the paranoid and annoying guy.
In the afternoon, Ruomu left the manor.
She borrowed two thousand yuan from Wu Ling, and borrowed a set of clothes from another maid, Sister Li, and then left.
In the evening, Xiao Jun was sketching in the garden and met the young gardener again, the one who had wanted to offer 80,000 yuan as a betrothal gift to marry Ruomu.
He dismissed the young man.
The young man didn't want to lose his job and asked why he was fired.
Xiao Jun said: "Because you are not worthy of it."
The young man thought he meant that he was not worthy of the manor, so he explained a lot, saying how hard he worked and how he had never made any mistakes.
Later, Wu Ling took the young man away, and Xiao Jun finally had some peace and quiet.
But after the young gardener left, Xiao Jun stared at the canvas in front of him until dark without adding a single stroke.
The next day, he still couldn't draw anything, so he simply threw all his painting supplies into the trash can, just like throwing away the self who was trying hard to become a better person.
The scenery outside the window also became boring, so I kept the curtains closed all day, stopped communicating with others, stopped going downstairs to eat, and returned to my own little space, which was dark, secluded, but safe.
Some birds that are not afraid of the cold chirp outside his window every morning, making such a noise that it drives people crazy. He grabs the desk lamp at hand and smashes it against the window.
Everyone was trembling with fear. They stood downstairs, pointing at his window and talking about him as if he were a mental patient.
Then the number of workers in the manor became fewer and fewer, and it became quiet and deserted.
Sister Li, who is in charge of cleaning the manor, has not resigned yet. Xiao Jun feels that she is a very courageous working woman.
That day, Sister Li came to change the sofa cover for Xiao Jun. Xiao Jun asked her why she didn't quit her job and whether she was afraid of him.
Sister Li smiled and said, "You just smashed some of your own things, it didn't hurt anyone, what's there for me to be afraid of? Besides, I have elderly and young children at home, and my child is sick and needs long-term dialysis. I can't lose this job."
Xiao Jun understood that compared to him being an abnormal guy, she was more afraid of not having money to treat her child.
Xiao Jun thought Sister Li was nice and wanted to talk to her more, so he asked about her child's condition.
As she was talking, Sister Li exclaimed, "Oh, it still hasn't been washed off!"
Xiao Jun then asked, "What hasn't been washed off?"
Sister Li pointed to a stain on the sofa cushion and said that Ruomu took the sofa cover to the laundry room to wash, saying that it was a piece of red paint left there by the young master. Sister Li knew that she couldn't tell how to deal with various stains and fabrics, so she wanted to help her, but she insisted on doing it herself, and it still hasn't been washed off.
Sister Li was about to take the seat cover away, but Xiao Jun held her wrist and asked, "When did she send it to the laundry room?"
Sister Li thought for a moment and said, "It seems to be the day she resigned."
