Chapter 10 Her Change is Really Huge
The two first went to the doctor's office, got some medicine, and arranged for a nurse to use professional equipment to disinfect and bandage the wound, and then went to eat.
When approaching a crowded restaurant, Xu Ruochu subconsciously slowed down and deliberately kept some distance from him.
In her past life, some witness had said something deeply unfavorable about her, which had been the beginning of the incident. In this life, she must be careful not to let the outside world know that she had no sense of boundaries.
This will prevent others from taking advantage of the situation, and bad guys will naturally not be able to fabricate false evidence!
Gu Yixiao noticed her actions and couldn't help but frown.
"You really think I'm a monster..."
His tone was slightly accusatory.
"ah?"
"Why are you so far away?"
Xu Ruochu gritted his teeth.
"No, that's not what I meant!" She lowered her head, her voice muffled, like a child who was punished for doing something wrong.
"What do you mean?" Gu Yixiao raised his eyebrows.
"I......"
"Don't hesitate!"
As they were talking, the two came to the restaurant's private room. One was responsible for ordering food on his mobile phone, and the other was thinking about how to respond to the man's words.
Xu Ruochu is not the kind of person who is shy. Since she has decided to stay away from him, she must face it bravely!
She mustered up the courage to raise her head and looked at him firmly.
"Everyone knows that I have no blood relationship with the Gu family. If I don't avoid suspicion, it means that sooner or later it will cause gossip from others, so I don't want to be misunderstood. This will indirectly affect the happiness of you and Sister Lin Yuan."
"Heh!" Gu Yixiao sneered, "Do you think anyone can easily influence the relationship between me and Lin Yuan?"
Xu Ruochu: “…”
She was silent, then met his gaze again. "Brother, if you and Sister Lin Yuan can get married successfully, I'm really happy for you... But if not, I'm really scared..."
"Don't meddle in my affairs with her." He interrupted her, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes, "Besides, why didn't you realize this before?"
Xu Ruochu: “…”
Sure enough, he still loves Lin Yuan. Perhaps he's postponing the engagement to focus on other things? His mother and family must have suspected he'd cancel the wedding. Otherwise, he wouldn't have gotten so angry when they mentioned the possibility of them not getting married.
Xu Ruochu couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips bitterly.
She lowered her eyes, not wanting him to see her strange expression.
It’s better this way, so she won’t feel too much pain when her heart is sealed with cement.
After lunch, the two walked out one after the other.
"Where are you staying? I'll take you there. Then we'll go to the company." He suddenly turned around and looked at Xu Ruchu and said.
Hearing this, she quickly shook her head: "No, it's more convenient for me to take the subway."
"My uncle told me to make sure I get you home safely." He said and walked straight towards the parking lot.
Seeing that she was still hesitant, he said coldly: Don't waste my time.
Xu Ruochu never doubted what he said.
In the end, she had no choice but to compromise.
A high-end apartment, located near an aristocratic university, does not cover a large area, but has a swimming pool, a restaurant, a cafe, and so on. It has everything you need.
As soon as he entered the house, Gu Yixiao was amused by the environment inside.
It was a disdainful sneer.
The decoration and layout are all in masculine style.
The glass cabinet to the left of the TV stand is filled with limited-edition men's sneakers; the glass cabinet to the right is filled with various anime figures; and the walls are covered with signed posters and portraits of many football stars...
He walked around the living room aimlessly, then went to the only bedroom and took a look.
"Living with someone of the opposite sex?"
He asked suddenly.
His words were filled with strong contempt and a sour taste that no one noticed.
Xu Ruochu hung her bag on the hanger behind the sofa. After hearing this, she turned around angrily and retorted with a frown, "This was rented for me by my friend!"
I didn't expect that I was such a despicable person in his eyes!
Is her image in his mind always so bad?
So what if he was the unattainable richest man? So what if I was just an ordinary person? That was no reason for him to slander her!
"The owner of the house lives abroad and can't come back all year round. If I help him keep the house clean, the rent will be many times cheaper!"
"And you, why do you look at me like that!" She became more and more excited, her voice rising a few degrees. "Even if I live with a man, it has nothing to do with you!"
Her tone was very aggressive, and she clenched her fists, as if she was about to rush over and hit him. Her eyes were wide open, and she looked like a young wife who had been wronged.
Gu Yixiao raised his eyebrows, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes: He's actually angry?
It's really rare to see.
His look made Xu Ruochu feel very uncomfortable, so she quickly ordered him to leave.
"I'm home safely now, you can go now, cousin."
Gu Yixiao: “…”
His eyes darkened for a moment.
Is she chasing him away?
Is this still Xu Ruchu? From those expectant eyes before, they have turned into the distant and indifferent ones today.
Before, when she saw him, she always greeted him with a smile and often called him "Brother Yixiao, Brother Yixiao", but in the past two days, she has changed to "Cousin". She has changed so much...
Where is the lively, cheerful, smiling, gentle and lovely Xu Ruchu?
Why did she become so sentimental, so cautious, and always avoid him?
What exactly is the cause?
It's impossible that it's just because I don't want to cause him trouble...
He couldn't help but guess in his heart.
"If you can't get used to living outside, just go home," he said, then walked out of the room.
Xu Ruochu was stunned for a moment.
go home?
Is he... worried about her?
Gu Yixiao turned around and glanced at her. "Uncle and aunt asked me to tell you that you're always welcome to come back."
It turned out that it was Gu's father and mother's idea.
They knew they couldn't persuade her, so they found someone else to try to convince themselves?
After he left, Xu Ruochu's face darkened. She returned to her bedroom in a daze and changed into her home clothes.
Suddenly, an extra bank card on the table attracted her attention.
This card...
Was it given to her by Gu Yixiao or her stepfather or mother?
No matter who it belongs to, she doesn't want it and must return it.
Xu Ruochu picked up the bank card, turned around and rushed out of the room.
Unfortunately, Gu Yixiao moved very quickly. As soon as she went downstairs, she saw him driving out of the apartment.
She quickly took a taxi to chase after him.
After an unknown amount of time of chasing, Xu Ruochu spotted Gu Yixiao's car being rear-ended by someone on the side of a wide road.
She hurriedly got out of the car and ran towards Gu Yixiao, wanting to return the card.
However, when she ran over, five people wearing black masks walked out of the car that had rear-ended her at the same time.
They were aggressive and each of them held a steel pipe in his hand.
