At the tender age of eighteen, she should have been carefree and pursuing her dreams. However, due to her parents' ignorant decision, Ren Xue'er completely deviated from her life trajectory and lost the right to pursue her dreams...
She didn't want to go through that dark time again, and she wouldn't let them manipulate her again.
After packing her clothes, Ren Xueer dragged two suitcases out of the room. She passed the living room without saying a word and quickly walked towards the door.
The middle-aged woman quickly followed, admonishing him as she walked, "My dear daughter, you must live a good life with Xiao Li. Don't neglect your parents-in-law and don't make them angry. Be more considerate of them in everything. Our family will depend on them in the future. And..."
"Are you done?" Ren Xueer walked to the door and stopped, then turned around and looked at her impatiently.
The middle-aged woman might have been frightened by Ren Xueer's eyes, and she stood there at a loss for a moment.
The two looked at each other, and Ren Xueer patted the other's shoulder and said, "Sorry, I'm afraid I'll disappoint you this time."
After saying this, she glanced at the man resting with his eyes closed on the sofa, sneered, and turned away without looking back.
By the time the middle-aged woman reacted, Ren Xueer had already disappeared.
She kept thinking about what Ren Xueer said before she left, and always felt that something was strange, but she couldn't put her finger on it.
"Hey, Lao Ren, do you feel that there's something strange about Xue'er today?"
"have no idea!"
"My heart is in turmoil, and I always feel like something is wrong..."
"Bang, bang, bang!" At this time, there was a crazy knock on the door outside.
"Come on, come on, this damn girl, don't you have the key?"
Ren's mother thought that Ren Xue'er had left something behind and came back to get it, so she got up to open the door. When the door opened, a fat, greasy man with big ears blocked the door. She was stunned.
"Who are you looking for?"
The greasy man stared at her angrily, "Where is Ren Xue'er?"
Ren's mother was stunned by the question, "Excuse me, who are you? What do you want from her?"
The greasy man began to introduce himself.
"Haha! Don't you know who I am? I'm her blind date, mad! How dare she make me wait for her in the cafe for a whole day? Where is she? You have to give me an explanation today! Otherwise, I won't leave today!"
"Ahahahaha...it turns out to be Xiao Li. Come in and sit down. Come in and sit down." Ren's mother suddenly panicked. She invited the man into the house with a forced smile, and her face looked extremely ugly.
This damn little girl, it turns out I was lying to her just now.
"Hey, Xiao Li, eat some fruit first. Auntie's going to make a phone call!"
After saying this, Ren's mother hurriedly left the living room and hid in the corner to call Ren Xueer.
"Sorry, the number you dialed is busy..."
"Goddamn girl, answer the phone, answer the phone quickly..."
"Sorry, the number you dialed is busy..."
…
At this time, Ren Xueer in the car looked at the caller ID again and again, hung up without hesitation, and finally turned off the phone directly. The whole car became quiet in an instant.
Assistant Lin looked at her through the rearview mirror and asked tentatively: "Madam, are you not going to answer the phone? If it's inconvenient, I can get off the car."
"No need." Ren Xueer answered crisply, "It's just a harassing call. Um, Assistant Lin..."
"Um?"
Ren Xueer scratched her head and whispered, "You should call me by my name, so I can get used to it."
Assistant Lin glanced at the rearview mirror and explained apologetically, "I'm sorry, ma'am. This is Mr. Lu's intention. I dare not disobey him."
"Okay~_~!" After hearing his words, Ren Xueer didn't ask any more questions.
Although she has obtained a marriage certificate with Lu Tingen, it is just a fake marriage. As written in the agreement, the two will not interfere with each other, and have no right to inquire about each other's affairs and decisions. The two of them got married simply to get what they wanted.
He needed a wife to take care of his family, and he could move out of that cold home and no longer be bound by anyone.
Her life shouldn't always be controlled by others. It's time for her to live her own life.
As the night deepened, the car slowly drove into the Lu family villa compound and finally stopped in the parking lot.
Assistant Lin got out of the car to help Ren Xueer open the door. Seeing that she was in a daze, he whispered, "Madam, we're here."
Ren Xueer came back to her senses, nodded softly, and followed him into the villa silently.
After entering the villa, Assistant Lin handed the luggage to the servant and brought Ren Xueer to the door of Lu Tingen's study.
"Madam, Mr. Lu is waiting for you inside. I won't disturb you two at this late hour."
After Assistant Lin finished his instructions, he left in a hurry, leaving Ren Xueer alone wandering back and forth at the study door, hesitating again and again whether to knock on the door and go in.
Just as she was about to raise her hand to knock on the door, the study door was opened from the inside. Lu Tingen, wearing gray pajamas, suddenly appeared at the door and said to her lightly: "Come in."
"Um."
Ren Xueer smiled awkwardly, lowered her head and followed him into the study.
Lu Tingen sat down on the sofa with his legs crossed, looked up at Ren Xueer standing in the distance, and frowned.
This little dwarf is standing so far away, is he that scary?
Could he still eat her?
"Ahem!" Lu Tingen cleared his throat, patted the seat next to him, and looked at her coldly, "Come and sit down!"
Ren Xueer looked at the other person's cold eyes, pinching the corner of her clothes unconsciously with both hands, and whispered: "Well, Mr. Lu, if you have anything to say, just tell me directly. It's better for me to stand and listen."
Lu Tingen looked at her nervous expression and casually pointed at the bank card and car keys on the table. "That's yours. The bank card password is your birthday."
Ren Xueer was stunned for a moment, then reacted. She picked up the bank card on the table and ignored the car keys. "Thank you, Mr. Lu."
"Well, you're welcome. To prevent people in the company from discovering our relationship, you can take the car keys. It will be more convenient for you to go to work."
Lu Tingen glanced at the car keys, observing her reaction, and asked casually: "Oh, by the way, can you drive?"
"Thank you, Mr. Lu. No thanks. I can just take the subway to work." Ren Xueer refused without thinking.
She would not take things that did not belong to her, and she understood this principle.
Who knows if this is a trap?
There is no such thing as a free lunch.
Besides, they had agreed to get married, and letting her move into this villa had already saved her the cost of renting a house. She didn't want to owe him anything anymore.
Lu Tingen didn't expect her to refuse so straightforwardly. If it were another woman, she would have agreed long ago. This still surprised him a little.
Lu Tingen narrowed his dark eyes, raised an ambiguous smile at the corner of his lips, stood up and slowly walked towards Ren Xueer.
Quite interesting!
Is she pretending to be reserved or is she just like that?
This actually piqued his curiosity a little.
