Chapter 118 Childhood sweethearts?
"nonsense!"
Xiao Zhiyu frowned and quickly denied it.
He didn't want Ruan Chuxia to misunderstand, and he didn't want to create a rift between them because of it.
Ruan Chuxia smiled coldly, a sharp light flashing in her eyes, "What's the situation? Childhood sweethearts or something like that?"
Xiao Zhiyu laughed dryly, his eyes filled with flattery, "No, no, there's no such relationship."
Oh, it seems that such a person really exists.
Ruan Chuxia thought so in her heart, but she didn't expect that she would hit the nail on the head. "Are you in love with her alone, or is she interested in you?"
Xiao Zhiyu put his fist to his lips and coughed lightly, looking a little embarrassed. "She has a crush on me."
He whispered, trying to sound calm.
"What about you?"
There was a hint of jealousy in Ruan Chuxia's voice, even the ending tone was sour, and it was obvious that she cared very much about this issue.
"Me? I definitely don't like her!"
Xiao Zhiyu quickly expressed his attitude, fearing that Ruan Chuxia would misunderstand something.
"real?"
Ruan Chuxia narrowed her eyes slightly, looking unconvinced, obviously waiting for a more convincing answer.
"real!"
Xiao Zhiyu said this with great confidence, wishing he could swear an oath.
Besides, if he really liked her, how could Ruan Chuxia have anything to do with him?
He muttered to himself but didn't dare to say it out loud.
"Who is she then?"
Ruan Chuxia reached out and pinched the soft flesh on his waist, pouting and threatening: "Hurry up and tell me! Otherwise... hehe!"
There was a hint of anger in her eyes, and she obviously couldn't wait to get an answer.
Looking at Ruan Chuxia's angry look, like an irritated kitten, Xiao Zhiyu was stunned for a moment, then raised the corners of his mouth and revealed a smile, "Are you jealous?"
Ruan Chuxia bit her lip and stared at him, thinking: Why are you saying this?
Doesn't she have any face?
Although her face was filled with anger, there was a subtle tenderness in her eyes.
Xiao Zhiyu chuckled, a hint of helplessness in his eyes. "Actually, there's nothing special about her. Her name is Jiang Yumin, and she's the daughter of the Jiang family. Her father and I have worked together a lot, and we have a pretty good relationship. So when she was little, she often came to our house to play..."
Having said that, he glanced at Ruan Chuxia and paused slightly, as if thinking about how to continue the topic.
Jiang Yumin, Jiang Jiashu's sister. When this name was mentioned, Ruan Chuxia's eyes immediately became dim.
She was very familiar with this person in her previous life.
In her previous life, when she first arrived at the Jiang family, Jiang Yumin's hostility towards her was almost deep-rooted.
That innate aversion made Jiang Yumin target her in everything.
The reason was very simple. She was just a sister-in-law from the countryside, and Jiang Yumin felt that this was shameful and she couldn't hold her head up.
In order to stay in the Jiang family, Ruan Chuxia could only try her best to please her, but she found that no matter how hard she tried, the effect was minimal.
In addition, because they had no children, Jiang Yumin became even more unscrupulous. She even threatened to divorce Jiang Jiashu and took the initiative to introduce him to a new woman!
I didn't expect that I would meet Jiang Yumin again in this life.
"And your mother wanted you to be with her?"
Ruan Chuxia continued to ask expressionlessly, with a hint of coldness in her tone.
Xiao Zhiyu's expression became a little tangled. He nodded, but said firmly: "But I swear I really don't have any feelings for her. When I was young and ignorant, we did play well together, but now that I've grown up, we're very unfamiliar with each other."
Ruan Chuxia took a deep breath, trying to suppress the waves in her heart.
She looked up at Xiao Zhiyu with a hint of inquiry in her eyes and asked, "Since you two are already so unfamiliar with each other, how did you know that she is interested in you?"
"This..." Xiao Zhiyu began to look around again.
"Hurry up and tell me!"
Ruan Chuxia's face immediately darkened, and she was obviously dissatisfied with Xiao Zhiyu's dragging attitude.
"Before, my mother asked me to go on a blind date with her, but I refused. She thought I refused because I was afraid she wouldn't like me. So, my mother told me that she liked me... Later, I rejected her directly, but she still mistakenly thought I was playing hard to get and kept pestering me..."
The more he spoke, the more embarrassed he felt, and Xiao Zhiyu's face was full of helplessness.
He felt like he was caught up in an inexplicable misunderstanding, and this misunderstanding had become his black history.
Ruan Chuxia smiled coldly. What an overconfident woman she was. She always felt that no one could resist her charm.
Thinking of Jiang Yumin's face, which pretended to be harmless and innocent, but was the best at pleasing the elders, Ruan Chuxia couldn't help but ask, "Your mother likes her very much, right?"
As expected, Xiao Zhiyu nodded, with a hint of doubt and confusion in his tone: "I really don't understand why my mother likes her so much."
In his opinion, Jiang Yumin was ordinary in all aspects except for her pretty appearance.
Her temper wasn't particularly bad, nothing special about her.
His mother has always had high standards and favors her. She even hopes that she will marry into the Xiao family as soon as possible. This makes Xiao Zhiyu really confused.
As for the reason he didn't understand, Ruan Chuxia knew it very well.
Jiang Yumin has always been a money-hungry and snobbish woman.
The Xiao family's background is much stronger than the Jiang family's. In addition, Xiao Zhiyu is quite handsome. Knowing that she has the opportunity to climb up the Xiao family's big tree, she will of course do her best.
Naturally, she had to perform well in front of Xiao Zhiyu's mother. Coupled with her seemingly well-behaved face, it was easy for her to make the elders happy, and the effect was doubled.
"Since your mother likes her so much, why did she agree to let you marry me?"
Ruan Chuxia changed the subject and stared straight at Xiao Zhiyu.
The expression on Xiao Zhiyu's face suddenly became very ugly, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
He knew very well that his mother would definitely not agree, otherwise why would his father secretly send the household registration booklet to Ruan Dejun?
All this shows his family's position.
From his reaction, Ruan Chuxia found the answer she wanted, and felt a little uncomfortable.
She snorted coldly, shook off Xiao Zhiyu's hand, stood up, and had obvious anger on her face.
"Asha!"
A trace of panic flashed in Xiao Zhiyu's eyes, and he immediately wanted to sit up from the bed, but the arm pricked by the needle made him move slowly.
"What are you doing?"
Ruan Chuxia was quick to act and grasped Xiao Zhiyu's shoulder, her tone blaming him. "You still have needles stuck in your body! What if the needles get bent? Not only will it hurt like hell, but it's also bad for your health."
Xiao Zhiyu just held her hand tightly, his voice full of determination and promise, "Axia, believe me, I will never let you suffer any injustice. Unless my mother really doesn't want me as her son anymore, you can only be my wife in this life."
Who can resist such a passionate confession?
