Chapter 53 Help her put on the hairpin
Gu Yixiao glanced at her, pondered for a moment, and then nodded. "Well, no engagement."
"But grandma would be sad if she knew..."
Although Gu's father often helped him persuade Grandma Gu, saying that the child's wishes should be respected in everything, the old lady still hoped that he would marry into the Lin family.
After all, this is not a joke. If he marries into the Lin family, his stock price will also rise. What's more, Grandma Gu really likes Miss Lin Yuan.
He suddenly stopped and looked at her with complicated eyes.
"Are you worried about me?" he asked.
"I just think...you two are a good match. For grandma's sake, don't break off the engagement so easily."
"Heh..." Gu Yixiao suddenly laughed, "I really can't understand you."
He looked at her, his eyes flickering.
"You like me, but you want me to get engaged to Lin Yuan?"
Xu Ruchu was hit by what he said and felt a little embarrassed for a moment.
"I didn't, don't let your imagination run wild! I just want the Gu Group to be more stable."
"Really?" Gu Yixiao raised his eyebrows disapprovingly, "But why do I see other reasons in your eyes?"
She was stunned for a moment and quickly clarified.
"Don't talk nonsense, what other reason could I have?"
"Then don't worry about it! The Gu company is under the control of two men, and they don't need a child like you to take charge."
Xu Ruochu curled his lips and nodded helplessly.
"Okay, don't worry about it. I'm going to go exercise!"
She turned to leave.
"etc."
Gu Yixiao called her, then took her hand and held it tightly in a huff.
His palms were hot, hers were soft.
He led her to the back of the dressing room and helped her tie the bandages and snare.
Xu Ruochu ignored his series of courtesy and looked at the sandbag in front of him, and the confusion in his eyes dissipated a lot.
There is only one thing in her heart, that is to protect herself and her brother in this life!
As she fought, she recalled the pain she had suffered in her previous life.
Gu Yixiao stared at her for a long time, and finally couldn't help but spoke.
"Can't you tell me what's on your mind?"
"No...it's about Zi Yang's kidnapping...The mastermind behind it hasn't been caught yet, and I'm afraid something else will happen." Xu Ruochu said weakly.
Thinking about it now, I really regret not recording the day I went to the hospital to see Lin Yuan, otherwise her viciousness would be exposed to the public!
She was so stupid. Why didn't she open the recording software in advance?
Be sure to be careful when you meet again next time and prepare the screen and audio recordings in advance!
Gu Yixiao was silent for a few seconds. "You think there's a murderer behind this? But the criminal has confessed, saying he's just taking revenge on society because of his unhappy life."
"Do you think the criminal is telling the truth?" She looked at him eagerly.
Gu Yixiao patted her head, his tone as gentle as a spring breeze. "Don't overthink it. I'll keep an eye on this matter. If there really is a murderer behind this, I will definitely not let him go."
“…”
Xu Ruochu had no evidence to prove that Lin Yuan was the murderer, so he naturally didn't want to alert the enemy. He nodded and said, "Okay, cousin."
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw him bend down to pick up the medium-sized hairpin that he had dropped on the ground at some point, and helped her put it on her hair, aligning it with the ponytail.
Gu Yixiao's technique is skillful and his movements are elegant.
She stared at him blankly, the scene of their first meeting coming to her mind.
At that time, she was 13 years old. She had just arrived at the Gu family and faced such a big house and strangers. She was inevitably a little nervous and even accidentally lost a hairpin once.
Later he picked it up and returned it to her.
At that time, he was wearing casual clothes, looking very young, not as mature as he was in a suit. Standing on the stairs, overlooking her on the first floor, his face was serious.
When she got the hairpin back, she thanked him, but he still didn't say a word.
The two had lived under the same roof for many years, rarely communicating, except recently, when Gu Yixiao seemed like a completely different person...
His eyes always followed her, with an unpredictable light in them.
She didn't know what it was and didn't want to know.
After practicing the movements for an hour straight, she felt a little tired.
Gu Yixiao sent her back, and Xu Ruchu slept soundly that night.
Apart from some soreness in both arms, there was nothing unusual.
When she woke up the next day, she had dark circles under her eyes.
Because she was dreaming, everything from her past life happened again in her dream last night, which made her unable to sleep well.
Fortunately, going to school did not affect her concentration in class.
After school, she walked towards the apartment with Ran Ran and Xia Xiaomo.
"Everyone has been busy recently and haven't had a meal together. I'll buy some good food today and we can have a good time together." Xu Ruochu said sincerely to his friends.
"Let Huo Ran help you do it~"
Ran Ran reminded excitedly.
"Just call A'ran and ask her to come over for dinner. No need to help." She had been able to cook since she was a child and didn't need help at all. She understood Ran Ran's thoughts, but didn't expose them.
She knew that the other party wanted to use this to bring the two of them together, but she and Huo Ran had already made it clear to each other, and as long as they both understood it, she no longer cared about her friend's self-proclaimed good intentions.
Along the way, several people talked about what to eat in the evening, and they were talking excitedly. When they were crossing the sidewalk, a luxury car suddenly stopped in front of them.
"Oh my god, I scared the hell out of you!" Ran Ran patted her chest. "Who's so arrogant?! What's the big deal about stopping the car so suddenly?"
Xu Ruochu subconsciously glanced at the car.
The person sitting in the car is Lin Yuan!
She was startled and couldn't help frowning.
Why did Lin Yuan appear here? Did he come to look for her on purpose?
Just as she was thinking about it, she saw Lin Yuan push open the car door and slowly walk out of the car.
"Sister Ruchu, can you please excuse me for a moment and talk?"
"Hey! Do you have something shameful to say? Can't you say it here?" Ran Ran snorted disdainfully and directly helped Xu Ruchu to refuse.
Xu Ruochu gave her a grateful smile. "No need to waste time talking to her. Let's go."
After saying that, she pulled her friend around Lin Yuan and left.
At this time, Lin Yuan's expression was a little stiff.
Ran Ran saw this and couldn't help but snort coldly, then gave her a big eye roll and a face.
“…”
Lin Yuan was choked again, glaring at the backs of Ran Ran and Xu Ruochu with gritted teeth.
Okay, Ran Ran, right?
Since you like me so much and don’t give me face, I now have another target, you.
I will make you pay the price!!!
Gu Ziyang, that little brat, was lucky not to be punished. You two...
snort!
Lin Yuan got back into the car and called the mysterious man: "You didn't succeed yesterday, so forget it. I hope that when you deal with Xu Ruchu, you can also deal with another annoying person..."
On the other end of the phone, no one knew what was said, but the expression on Lin Yuan's face suddenly turned into a sinister smile of success, and the darkness in his eyes was as if they were filled with poison.
After hanging up the phone, she started the car with ease...
