Chapter 61: The rank is indeed not low
Hearing this, Xu Ruochu sneered disdainfully, then looked over bravely, staring at Lin Yuan's face.
"It's true that Big Brother broke off the engagement with you, it's true that he doesn't want to be with you anymore, and it's also true that he likes me. Do you think I won?" She said word by word.
Her eyes sparkled with confidence, and her voice was sonorous and resounding, as if she were taking an oath!
Lin Yuan was embarrassed by what she said. She took a deep breath and said calmly, "But you can't get past the Gu family elders. They have always treated you as a family member and don't want you to be their daughter-in-law...especially grandma."
"The old lady is kind-hearted and loves my eldest brother the most. If we beg her sincerely, do you think she will agree?" She raised an eyebrow and asked, "Don't you think so? Sister Lin Yuan?"
After hearing this, Lin Yuan's face turned pale instantly!
She gritted her teeth and said, "Okay! You win! I admit defeat this time. But don't be too happy too soon. This war is not over yet. As long as we don't cancel the engagement, you will be the mistress in the eyes of outsiders."
"Thank you for the reminder. But big brother will handle it and protect me." The corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
"Then let's wait and see." After Lin Yuan said that, he put the fruit plate on the table and turned to leave.
"Okay, let's wait and see."
Xu Ruochu clenched his fist and said to her back in a calm manner, "As long as you persist in your desire to harm others, I will fight you to the end!"
Perhaps because he felt guilty, Lin Yuan did not stop and did not respond.
After the other person walked away, she took a deep breath, leaned her hands on the table as if exhausted, and began to breathe heavily.
Lin Yuan is very smart and his rank is indeed not low, but she must not lose momentum in front of her!
Her only advantage is Gu Yixiao, and she must seize every opportunity to take advantage of this man.
Lunch time.
The huge restaurant was filled with all kinds of delicious dishes. Gu Yixiao and Lin Yuan sat next to the main seats of Lin's father and mother and did not pick up their chopsticks for a long time.
Looking at the Lin family's unfamiliar yet friendly, happy yet shy appearance, Mrs. Gu couldn't help coughing a few times and invited everyone to eat.
The seats of several people were arranged according to family tradition, with the elders sitting at the table, followed by the uncles and uncles, and finally the younger generations.
By the last lap, Xu Ruochu happened to be sitting next to Gu Yixiao.
She endured the discomfort in her heart, lowered her head and ate her meal silently, forgetting even to pick up some dishes.
Gu Yixiao noticed this detail. He raised his eyes and tilted his head slightly to look at her, then quietly touched her leg with his leg under the tablecloth.
If the restaurant wasn't so crowded, he really wanted to help her pick up some of her favorite dishes.
Xu Ruchu felt his touch, but still pretended to be stupid and refused to respond.
I just picked up the dish closest to me.
Gu Yixiao was hurt instantly, and then he found an "excuse" in order to pick up some food for her.
He first picked up two dishes for Lin Yuan, then picked up two of Zi Yang's favorite ribs and beef, and finally picked up one meat and one vegetable for Xu Ruchu, her favorite dishes.
Xu Ruochu looked embarrassed and hesitated for a long time before putting the dish into his mouth.
The sensitive Lin Yuan, seeing this scene, instantly thought of the man's intention and became so angry that his face turned blue.
She also picked up some food for Gu Yixiao, "Ah Xiao, don't just pick up food for me and your brothers and sisters. Come, try this too."
When Gu Yixiao saw the dishes Lin Yuan brought, he frowned slightly and wanted to refuse, but when he saw his grandmother's expectant and kind smile, he reluctantly accepted it.
Then he whispered, "Thank you."
Hearing this, Lin Yuan helped him pick up a few more dishes, while looking at Xu Ruchu provocatively.
When Xu Ruochu saw this scene, he didn't react at all and continued to eat calmly.
The meal ended in this weird atmosphere.
After dinner, Mrs. Gu wanted to let her grandson, who was always reluctant to take the initiative, have more contact with Lin Yuan, so she asked them to go to their room to rest.
Seeing that the Gu family valued their daughter, Lin's father and mother went back.
There was no need for Xu Ruochu to stay, so he said goodbye to his family and planned to go back to school.
The sentimental mother Lin found out that her university was on the same way as her home, so she took the initiative to ask to go away together.
So, Xu Ruochu and Lin's mother got into Lin's father's car together.
"Thank you, Aunt Lin." She said politely.
Hearing this, Mother Lin couldn't help but reveal a charitable smile on her face, "You're welcome."
Xu Ruochu didn't say anything else.
Along the way, she just sat there quietly looking at the scenery outside the window.
Lin's mother, however, observed her in a manner that was out of character.
I don't know why, but when I saw her for the first time today, I felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity. I was embarrassed to stare at her at Gu's house, but now she finally had a good look at her.
Maybe it's because this girl is very beautiful and has an unusual temperament. She is also gentle and kind, and her smile is very contagious, which makes people inexplicably feel good about her...
Xu Ruochu didn't know what Lin's mother was thinking. She just felt that riding in a stranger's car made her feel more relaxed than riding in Gu Yixiao's car.
It can be seen that the shadow of the previous life is lingering!
Soon, they arrived at the school and after getting off the bus, she politely apologized again.
Lin's mother didn't mind. She took her hand and patted it, saying sincerely, "You're welcome. Come to our house and play next time you have the chance."
"Okay." She curled her lips slightly, revealing a faint smile, then turned and left.
Although she would continue to fight with Lin Yuan, she would not involve other people, so she naturally had no ill feelings towards Lin's mother, who had always been very virtuous.
After returning to the classroom.
The two good friends immediately gathered around.
"You're back, Xiaochu. Why didn't you stay at the Gu family for a while longer?" Ran Ran asked hurriedly.
"Grandma is fine now. Lin Yuan pretended that the person in the video was her, so the old lady became very happy and I don't have to stay there to comfort her." She replied.
"Well, it's better not to stay there, so that you won't be upset when you see Lin Yuan and him together." As he said that, Ran Ran reached out and patted her shoulder.
"When I saw them, it was really jarring."
Xu Ruochu smiled bitterly and couldn't help but jokingly said, "Then don't go to see them. Just spend more time with me, Xiaomo, and your beloved senior."
"By the way, how are things going between you and him?" she asked.
"That's great! We've also agreed to stay at a mountaintop hotel for one night at the end of the month and watch the sunrise the next day!"
"Watching the sunrise at the mountaintop hotel?" She was startled, then suddenly thought of something and asked again:
"Did he confess? Are you guys going to stay in a hotel together?"
"We are still getting along and haven't confessed anything. Oh~ don't worry, we just booked two rooms." Ran Ran said with a blush on her face.
"That's not reassuring... He hasn't even expressed his feelings for you, but he's asking you out for the night. That's too unreliable!"
Xu Ruochu subconsciously advised, "I think you should observe him carefully. It's not too late to decide to go out together."
In her previous life, Ran Ran had an accident when she was watching the sunrise with the boy she liked, and she was injured and hospitalized.
At the time, she was so immersed in the pain of Gu Yixiao and Lin Yuan's engagement that she didn't pay much attention to this good friend...
Thinking of this, she felt ashamed!
