Chapter 62 If it is windy, stay away from trees
If I had paid more attention to the boy Ran Ran liked, and asked about his character before agreeing to let her go out with him alone, this probably wouldn't have happened...
Later, when Ran Ran was discharged from the hospital, Xu Ruochu learned the whole story: on their way back to the hotel after watching the sunrise, a strong wind suddenly blew and broke the branches on the side of the road. The boy subconsciously dodged for fear of hitting himself, and did not care about Ran Ran's life or death.
She ended up with a scratch on her head that required several stitches. Although she and the boy have been separated since then, the physical pain and the disappointment in her heart are real!
In this life, she couldn't let her good friend suffer this kind of pain again.
Thinking of this, she looked at Ran Ran anxiously and said, "Don't go, Xiao Ran, don't go!"
"Why? Xiaochu, weren't you encouraging me to try my best to win him over before? Why are you against it now?" Ran Ran asked in surprise.
"He's not your ideal partner. I just discovered that and I just wanted to tell you. I can't let you get caught up in this."
"What did you find?" Ran Ran became even more confused.
"He... is a selfish person. When in danger, he is the type of person who is most likely to abandon his friends and run away..."
Xu Ruochu was not in a position to tell anyone about his rebirth, so he could only make up an excuse.
"Oh, that! It's okay. It's a human instinct for survival. It's fine. As long as you're not a playboy or promiscuous, and don't cheat on me, that's fine! I don't mind this little flaw."
“…”
It’s over, a new love brain is born!
This was Xu Ruochu’s first reaction.
I died tragically in my previous life due to my love-obsession, and was reborn to repent. Now, another love-obsession is about to be severely injured...
She didn't dare to think any further and continued to stop her friend: "Xiao Ran, really don't go. What if something happens on the way and he runs away?"
"It's okay. How could it be such a coincidence that something would happen right after we go out? Right? Besides, I've never liked a boy before, and I really want to get along with him!"
Ran Ran said it with absolute certainty.
Xu Ruochu felt mixed emotions, it seemed that her good friend was not going to listen to her.
"How about this, why don't you change the time? Choose a time with the best weather to watch the sunrise?" She compromised and took a step back to persuade him.
"No, we checked, and the sunrise on that day is the brightest, reddest, and most beautiful in the year~" She shook her head and said firmly.
"...Okay." Xu Ruochu sighed and stopped trying to persuade her. Instead, he gave her instructions:
"Then you must remember, if it's windy, stay away from the trees, or wait until the wind dies down before leaving."
"Why?" Ran Ran looked confused.
"No reason, I just don't want you to get into any trouble." She sighed and replied lightly.
Seeing Xu Ruochu's unusual eagerness, Xia Xiaomo also tried to persuade him, "Xiaochu must have her reasons for saying that. You should be more careful when the time comes..."
On the other side, the Gu family.
Although Gu Yixiao was forced by the old lady to ask Lin Yuan to rest in her bedroom, in order to avoid suspicion, he took the initiative to go to the study, leaving Lin Yuan alone.
Lin Yuan, who suddenly felt neglected, immediately came up with a plan to kill two birds with one stone.
She made an excuse in front of the old lady that she wanted to go out and play with Gu Yixiao, and the old lady didn't suspect anything.
Just like that, the two of them left the villa side by side.
As soon as she got in the car, she immediately said generously: "Axiao, how about this idea of mine? It will allow you to go out smoothly, and it won't make grandma worry about our relationship."
"...Very good." Gu Yixiao replied indifferently, his eyes still fixed on the front, looking absent-minded.
Lin Yuan knew what he was thinking. He must be thinking about Xu Ruchu again!
But she pretended not to care, still understanding and intelligently said: "Well, just send me to Lin's and go do your own thing. Don't worry, if grandma asks about it in the future, I will speak up for you."
"good."
The two of them walked all the way to the Lin Group in silence.
After getting out of the car, Lin Yuan looked at Gu Yixiao's car and saw that it was unwilling to stop for him for a moment. The smile in his eyes disappeared instantly.
Humph! Gu Yixiao, if I can't have you, Xu Ruochu can't have you either!
At this time, the cell phone rang. It was the spy she bribed in the Gu family: the middle-aged servant in charge of cleaning.
She pressed the connect button.
"Ms. Lin, when will you tell the old lady what you asked me to do with another servant and pretend to overhear at the eldest young master's door? I'm afraid I'll forget it after a while." The woman on the other end of the phone said respectfully.
Her eyes rolled around, and she immediately said, "Don't tell the old lady now. Keep this secret as gossip and spread it among the servants first."
"Huh? Spread it privately first? We might lose our jobs if we do that!"
"No, if I really fire you I will double the compensation. Make sure you do as I say. I have my reasons."
After hanging up the phone, the expression on her face became a little weird, as if she had seen something interesting.
Because she knew Old Lady Gu. If she let the old lady know about this first, although she would be angry, she would definitely try to suppress the news for the sake of her grandson's reputation. That way... fewer people would know.
If the servants spread the news first, or even let it get out to the outside world, then the old lady would have no way to remedy the situation, and she would become the victim, and would naturally be able to continue to hold the initiative.
After all...on the surface, she is Gu Yixiao's real girlfriend.
Then, when she got to Grandma Gu's place, she would act like a good person again, pretending to help clarify the matter and not minding Gu Yixiao's betrayal, so that the old lady would feel guilty about her and become more convinced that she was the daughter-in-law of the Gu family...
This move is really clever.
She just didn't believe it. What if Gu Yixiao liked Xu Ruchu? With the old lady's weakness, he couldn't go against his grandmother who loved him the most!
…
After school, Xu Ruchu and his two friends returned to the time when they had nothing to do as before. The three of them continued to sit on the small chairs by the lake, some reading books, some playing games, and some watching short videos.
"Hey! Have you noticed that the public opinion from this morning can no longer be found. There is no news at all, as if it never happened." Ran Ran couldn't help but sigh after taking a break after finishing a game.
Upon hearing this, Xia Xiaomo paused her phone, looked at her, nodded, and said, "Yes, yes! I couldn't see it during lunch. I was watching movie clips and forgot to mention it~"
She and Ran Ran looked at each other, and then they both turned their gaze to Xu Ruchu.
"It seems that the big pig hoof of the Gu family is really majestic. He solved this matter in just a few hours."
"Well, he is the richest man, so he must be capable," Xu Ruochu nodded and said perfunctorily without raising his head.
After she finished speaking, a text message came into her phone.
She clicked it and it was Gu Yixiao.
Speak of the devil, and he will appear...
