Chapter 335: Five hundred thousand to get rid of the love rival, the old man is jealous
There was an extremely awkward silence in the air.
Lin Ze's young and sunny face instantly turned the color of liver. His fingers holding the notebook were shaking slightly, not because of fear, but because of the great humiliation.
He looked at the man who appeared out of nowhere and threw money at people. His lips moved for a long time before he squeezed out a few words from his throat.
"You...you are insulting me!"
Shi Runrun felt her cheeks burning and she wished she could find a hole to crawl into right there and then.
She thought Xiao Xuezheng would be jealous and unhappy, but she never expected that he would use such a rude and humiliating method.
"Xiao Xuezheng!"
She screamed and didn't care about anything else. She rushed forward, snatched the thin check from his hand, and stuffed it back into his trouser pocket.
Then she turned around and bowed desperately to apologize to Lin Ze, whose face was ashen.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Classmate Lin Ze, he... he has some mental problems, please don't bother with him! I apologize to you on his behalf!"
After saying that, she didn't care about Lin Ze's reaction. She grabbed Xiao Xuezheng's arm and used all her strength to almost drag him out of the school gate without looking back.
Along the way, the man let her drag him without saying a word, but the low pressure emanating from his body made the students around him automatically retreat.
Shi Runrun felt like her lungs were about to explode.
It wasn't until she stuffed the plague god back into the driver's seat of the Bentley, sat in the passenger seat herself, and slammed the door that she finally exploded.
"Xiao Xuezheng! Are you sick?!"
She turned around, her eyes widened with anger, her chest heaving violently.
"Why do you treat my classmate like this? Do you think you're great just because you're rich? Are you looking down on him, or me?!"
The man leaned back in his chair, turned his face to the side, and looked at her calmly with his deep black eyes, without a trace of guilt on his face.
He even reached out and straightened his collar, which was a little wrinkled by her grabbing it, and spoke slowly.
“This is the simplest and most effective way.”
He looked at her little face which was red with anger, and a cold arc appeared on his thin lips.
"I don't have the time, nor the interest, to play soft tactics with those flies circling around you."
"A fly?" Shi Runrun was so angry at his self-righteous attitude that she almost laughed out loud. "I lent me my class notes out of kindness! And in your eyes, I'm just a fly? Xiao Xuezheng, can you be any more unreasonable?"
"He looked at you seventeen times." The man suddenly said something out of the blue.
"What?" Shi Runrun was stunned and didn't react.
"I said, in today's class, that guy surnamed Lin looked at you seventeen times, looked at the blackboard twelve times, and looked at the book seven times."
The man turned his head and looked straight ahead, his tone as flat as if he was reporting a set of boring data.
"So, he's not listening to the class, he's watching you."
Shi Runrun was completely defeated by him.
She opened her mouth, but couldn't utter a word for a long time.
This man... he actually counted a whole class in the classroom!
The raging rage in my heart was deflated by his childish and paranoid behavior, and all that was left was helplessness and a feeling of being both amused and helpless.
She leaned back heavily in her chair and let out a long sigh.
"Xiao Xuezheng, you are such a hopeless jealous person."
She complained weakly.
After hearing this, the man not only did not refute, but snorted coldly, as if to agree.
A strange silence fell in the carriage.
After a while, Shi Runrun glanced at him secretly out of the corner of her eye.
He still had a stern face, his jawline tightly pursed, and he looked like he was saying, "I'm still angry, don't mess with me."
When Shi Runrun saw him like this, the anger in her heart had long disappeared, and she found it a little funny instead.
She cleared her throat and took the initiative to break the deadlock.
"So... where are we going now?"
"I don't know." The man uttered these three words stiffly.
"We can't just go home like this, right? The kids haven't finished school yet." Shi Runrun continued to find topics.
“…” The man stopped talking and started the car.
The black Bentley merged silently into the traffic flow. Shi Runrun didn't know where he was going, so he simply didn't ask and turned his head to look at the street scene rapidly receding outside the window.
The car finally stopped in front of the quaint Chinese restaurant in the south of the city.
It was the restaurant that he had just mentioned in the note that made the best Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.
Shi Runrun looked at the golden signboard and felt a little sweet in her heart.
This man always says one thing and means another.
Xiao Xue Zheng parked the car, still without saying a word, unbuckled his seat belt and got out of the car, then walked around and opened the door for her.
Shi Runrun got out of the car obediently, looked at his still tense profile, rolled her eyes, and suddenly stretched out her little hand and took the initiative to hook his arm.
The man's body visibly stiffened, but he did not shake her off.
Shi Runrun was secretly happy and hugged him tighter, almost hanging on him.
She raised her little face and looked at him with a smile.
"Mr. Xiao is really generous today, spending a fortune to win a beautiful woman's smile." She teased him deliberately.
The man paused, lowered his head, and glanced at her coldly.
"It's hush money."
"Um?"
"Tell him to shut up and stop bothering you." He paused and added, his tone full of disdain, "Five hundred thousand is too cheap for him."
Shi Runrun was amused by his far-fetched logic and laughed out loud.
When the two walked into the restaurant, the manager was already waiting respectfully at the door and led them into the best lakeside box.
The dishes were served one by one, and sure enough, there was the signature Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, which had a rich aroma that made one's mouth water just by smelling it.
Xiao Xue Zheng acted like a eunuch serving his master throughout the whole process. He first carefully wiped the tableware in front of her with a hot towel, then personally served her a bowl of soup, blew it cool, and then placed it in front of her.
He didn't move his chopsticks much, just held his chin and watched her eat in small bites.
His eyes were focused and gentle, as if he was looking at some rare delicacy.
Shi Runrun felt a little embarrassed when he looked at her, and her face turned slightly red.
"You should eat too, why are you just looking at me?"
"Watching you eat it, it tastes better than when I eat it myself." The man said as a matter of course.
This one sentence made Shi Runrun's heart feel sweet again.
She lowered her head, scooped up a piece of soft and sticky abalone with a spoon, and handed it to his lips.
"Then you try it too, open your mouth."
Xiao Xue Zheng was stunned for a moment, looking at the smile in her eyes, his Adam's apple rolled, but he still obediently opened his mouth and ate the abalone.
The warm spoon accidentally touched his thin lips, and both of their hearts skipped a beat.
The atmosphere suddenly became a little ambiguous.
The meal ended in this sweet atmosphere.
Xiao Xuezhen went to pay the bill, and Shi Runrun stood alone by the window of the box, looking at the beautiful scenery of lake and mountains outside, feeling extremely happy.
When he came back, he had a small, exquisitely wrapped gift bag in his hand.
"Here's to you." He handed the bag to her.
"What is it?" Shi Runrun took it curiously.
When I opened it, there was a bracelet inside.
The bracelet is very simple in style, a thin platinum chain with a small, lifelike rabbit pendant hanging in the middle.
Shi Runrun was born in the year of the Rabbit.
She picked up the bracelet, and her heart seemed to be filled with something, warm and soft.
The man took the bracelet from her, pulled her hand, and put it on her slender white wrist himself.
The cold chain pressed against the warm skin, causing a slight shiver.
"Do you like it?" he asked in a low voice.
Shi Runrun nodded vigorously, her eyes feeling a little hot.
"like."
She raised her wrist and looked at the little rabbit flashing in the sunlight, and she couldn't suppress the smile at the corners of her lips.
The man's mood improved when he saw her happy face. The anger that had accumulated due to jealousy had long since disappeared.
He took her hand, interlocked their fingers, and led her out of the restaurant.
The two walked slowly on the path by the lake. The afternoon sun was warm and shining on them, making them feel so comfortable that they wanted to doze off.
No one spoke, just quietly enjoying the rare time together.
After walking for a while, Xiao Xue Zheng suddenly stopped.
He turned around and faced her, her small figure reflected in his deep black eyes.
Shi Runrun looked at him in confusion.
The man suddenly leaned over and spoke softly in her ear in a low, hoarse voice that was full of temptation.
"We won't be picking up the kids this afternoon."
"Ah? Then what should they do?"
"I've already asked Sister Li and the driver to go." The man stood up straight, a wicked smile on his lips, and reached out to pinch her soft cheek.
"Now, let me take you somewhere."
He took her hand and walked towards the parking lot without saying anything.
"Where are you going?"
The man opened the car door, pushed her in, then got in himself, leaned over and fastened her seat belt.
He leaned very close, his hot breath tickling her earlobe.
"To the hotel."
