Chapter 74 Grievances 1
Lu Yuxing's heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand, and breathing became a little difficult.
She still remembered that just a few days ago, she accidentally passed by the school corridor and heard the conversation between Li Xuan and Mo Xingchen.
At that time, Li Xuan had the shyness and determination unique to a teenager on his face. Although his voice was very low, every word was clearly transmitted to her ears: "I like her, I really like her. After the college entrance examination, I must confess to her." The seriousness and expectation in his tone were like a seed, quietly taking root and sprouting in her heart.
But now, Li Xuan said such cold and distant words in front of everyone at her most important birthday party.
The words "Happy birthday to you, and hope you find your other half soon" were like a sharp knife, stabbing into her heart.
She could not accept such a gap and her heart was filled with anger and sadness of being betrayed.
"I say, happy birthday to you, and hope you find your other half soon." Li Xuan gritted his teeth and repeated it again unnoticeably. His tone remained calm, but his slightly trembling hands revealed his inner unrest.
He avoided looking directly into Lu Yuxing's eyes, as if looking at her any longer would reveal the emotions hidden deep in his heart.
Lu Yuxing's eyes turned red instantly. She glared at Li Xuan fiercely, turned around and walked away quickly, her high heels tapping on the ground with a rapid and angry sound.
The banquet continued, the band played cheerful dance music, and people stepped onto the dance floor and began to dance.
The lights were bright, the music was melodious, and the entire banquet hall was filled with a luxurious and lively atmosphere.
However, all this seemed so dazzling in Lu Yuxing's eyes. She stood at the edge of the dance floor, trying to calm herself, but the waves in her heart could not subside for a long time.
Li Xuan stood aside, his eyes following Lu Yuxing involuntarily.
He saw several men coming forward to invite her to dance. Her dance was light and graceful, and every move was full of charm. However, her smile seemed a little forced, and her eyes drifted towards him from time to time.
Li Xuan had mixed feelings. He knew he should let go of this relationship, but his eyes always followed her involuntarily.
The person dancing with Lu Yuxing was the son of their business partner, Run Run Shaw.
He was wearing a well-tailored suit, with an unruly smile on his lips, and his eyes wandered unscrupulously on Lu Yuxing's face. "Yuxing, you are so beautiful today. Your face is simply the most biased masterpiece of God, do you know that? From the moment you came downstairs, I couldn't take my eyes off you." His tone was frivolous and a bit cynical.
Lu Yuxing forced a smile and said "thank you" tactfully. Her gaze drifted towards Li Xuan again, but she found that he had turned around and was no longer looking at her.
Her heart sank suddenly and anger surged in her heart. OK! Li Xuan, you treated me like this on my birthday today. I will never talk to you again! She swore secretly in her heart.
Run Run Shaw noticed that she was distracted and took the opportunity to ask, "Yuxing is so beautiful, she must have a lot of suitors at school, right? Do you have a boyfriend?" There was a hint of tentativeness in his tone, and a hint of imperceptible calculation flashed in his eyes.
Lu Yuxing frowned and replied coldly: "No, I'm still in high school and my aunt doesn't allow me to fall in love too early." There was a hint of impatience in her tone, and she was obviously uncomfortable with Run Run Shaw's questioning.
When Run Run Shaw heard the word "Aunt", a malicious light flashed in his eyes. "You still listen to your aunt?" There was a hint of sarcasm in his tone, as if he was mocking her naivety.
"Why don't you listen?" Lu Yuxing asked back coldly, with a hint of warning in his tone. She didn't like Run Run Shaw's frivolous attitude, and she disliked his disrespect towards her aunt even more.
Run Run Shaw, however, did not take it seriously and became even more presumptuous. He took advantage of the change of dance steps to touch Lu Yuxing's hand with his dirty hand, and said in a frivolous tone: "Yuxing, why don't you be my girlfriend after the college entrance examination! I promise that you will be very happy with me."
Lu Yuxing widened her eyes and suddenly broke free from his hand, her tone cold and firm: "I don't like you and I won't be your girlfriend." After that, she turned and left without hesitation, leaving Run Run Shaw standing there in shock.
This scene was seen by Fang Lian and others who were not far away. Xi Simeng smiled and shook her head, with a hint of ridicule in her tone: "Yuxing is still very popular, especially for children from wealthy families like hers. There is a high possibility that they will be arranged to marry in the future."
Mi Shaoyi frowned, with a bit of worry in her tone: "Yuxing shouldn't like the man dancing with her, right? I think the way he looks at Yuxing is a bit bad and a bit disgusting."
Yang Mian nodded, with a bit of disdain in his tone: "Your sixth sense is very accurate. This Run Run Shaw is not a good guy."
She counted with her fingers, her brows furrowed tighter and tighter. "Let me see. Damn, this guy is really a piece of shit. He only cares about his own happiness and never thought of taking any measures. He's only 20 years old, and he's killed 15 people. He has 20 girlfriends, 15 of whom have been pregnant. This bastard just got on the bus without buying a ticket."
"Scumbag!" Several women cursed in unison, their eyes full of contempt and anger.
Lu Yuxing walked aside angrily, feeling aggrieved and angry.
She didn't understand why Li Xuan suddenly became so indifferent, and she didn't understand why she cared so much about his attitude.
She looked up at the dance floor, only to find that Li Xuan had disappeared.
Her heart sank, as if something important was slipping away from her life.
