"Yes! She is pretending! She must be pretending to be innocent and pitiful in front of Brother Tingchen!" Su Yao gritted her teeth and said, "I will never let her go!"
Xu Zhiru pretended to casually stretch out her hand and gently placed it on the back of Su Yao's cold hand.
"Miss, you are too emotional right now. If you get caught in the rain and do this, your body won't be able to bear it."
Her voice became gentle again. "My home is nearby. Why don't you go over to my place and change into some clean clothes and have a cup of hot tea to warm yourself up, okay?"
"Don't worry, I won't let anyone know. It's just that I can't bear to see you like this."
Xu Zhiru's eyes were filled with genuine concern. "We... can be considered to be in the same boat, aren't we?"
Su Yao looked at Xu Zhiru's gentle and sympathetic eyes, and thought of the "experience" she had just described, and her guard was completely removed.
Su Yao sniffed, nodded, and said in a hoarse voice: "Thank you..."
Xu Zhiru smiled slightly, her smile was warm, but her eyes were cold.
"You're welcome, Miss Su. Let's go."
She restarted the car, drove smoothly away from the roadside, and headed towards the Fu family villa.
The car stopped smoothly in front of an exquisite single-family villa.
Xu Zhiru turned off the engine and turned her head to give Su Yao a reassuring smile.
"Miss, we're here. This is my home."
Su Yao looked through the car window at the house, which still looked elegant and quiet in the night, with complicated feelings in her heart.
"Get out of the car. It's still cold outside." She got out of the car first and opened the door for Su Yao, her movements natural and considerate.
Su Yao hesitated for a moment, but still got out of the car.
As I walked into the villa, a warm breath hit me in the face, dispelling the coldness in my body.
As Xu Zhiru spoke, she walked to the bar, poured two glasses of warm water, and handed one to Su Yao.
"Drink some hot water to warm yourself up first."
Su Yao took the cup of water, and felt the warmth on her fingertips. She whispered, "Thank you."
"You don't have to be so polite."
Xu Zhiru sat down on the sofa opposite her and looked at her softly.
"My name is Xu Zhiru, nice to meet you, Miss."
Su Yao held the water cup and nodded: "My name is Su Yao."
"Su Yao, look at you, your hair and clothes are all wet. You will get sick if you continue like this. There is a clean bathroom and clothes upstairs. Go take a hot shower and change your wet clothes."
Su Yao did feel cold and sticky all over, and very uncomfortable.
She looked at Xu Zhiru's genuine concern and nodded hesitantly: "...Thank you for your help."
"What trouble are you talking about?" Xu Zhiru stood up with a gentle smile, "Come with me."
Xu Zhiru took Su Yao upstairs and pushed open the door of a guest bedroom.
"The bathroom is right inside, and the toiletries are all new. There are a few new pajamas in the closet that I haven't worn yet. See if you can find any that fit. You can make do with them for one night."
She paused and added, "Don't worry, it's safe here, no one will disturb you."
Su Yao thanked him again and went into the bathroom.
The hot water washed over my body, taking away the cold and relaxing my tense nerves a little.
But when she thought of the scene of Jiang Tingchen and Ning Nanxue snuggling together, her heart felt like it was being pierced by countless needles, and it hurt so much.
After taking a shower, Su Yao came out wrapped in a bath towel and saw Xu Zhiru sitting by the bed waiting for her with a clean towel in her hand.
"Have you finished washing?" Xu Zhiru stood up, naturally took the wet towel from Su Yao's hand, and picked up the hair dryer.
"Come, sit down, I'll help you blow dry your hair." Su Yao felt a little uncomfortable, but still sat down as she was told.
The warm wind blew the wet hair, and Xu Zhiru's fingers gently moved through it with slow movements.
"Su Yao, your hair is so nice, so soft and silky," Xu Zhiru said in admiration, "and your skin is so well maintained, so white and tender."
She looked at Su Yao's beautiful face through the mirror, and then changed the subject with a hint of regret.
"Unlike Ning Nanxue... Every time I see her, she always looks tired, as if the whole world owes her something. It makes me uncomfortable."
When Su Yao heard Ning Nanxue's name, her eyes turned cold instantly.
In the mirror, Xu Zhiru paused and asked casually.
"By the way, it's so late and Ah Chen hasn't come back yet. You can stay here for the time being. When he comes back, I will go and explain to him."
Su Yao suddenly looked up and looked at Xu Zhiru in the mirror, her voice suddenly rising with incredible shock.
"Fu Chen? He's still with you? Isn't he with that bitch Ning Nanxue..."
Xu Zhiru seemed to be startled by Su Yao's intense reaction. Her hand trembled slightly, and the air outlet of the hair dryer shifted slightly.
She quickly turned off the hair dryer, turned around, her face showing a hurt and aggrieved expression, and her eyes quickly turned red.
"Su Yao, you...you misunderstood." Her voice was choked with sobs. "The situation between Ah Chen and me is very complicated now."
"That woman Ning Nanxue...she's so scheming." Xu Zhiru lowered her head, her shoulders trembling slightly, as if she was enduring great pain. "She used all means to defraud the Fu Group. Ah Chen...he has almost nothing left."
"Not only that, she ruthlessly abandoned Ah Chen when he was at his lowest point and turned around to be with Jiang Tingchen!"
Xu Zhiru raised her head, tears welling up in her eyes, and her tone was full of grief and indignation.
"Ah Chen suffered a great blow and was almost broken. I just couldn't bear to see him like this, so I went back to take care of him."
"We are... just supporting each other now." She looked at Su Yao with sad and helpless eyes.
Looking at Xu Zhiru's tearful appearance and listening to her "heartfelt words", Su Yao's doubts gradually dissipated, and were replaced by a strong sense of sympathy.
Su Yao gritted her teeth, her voice seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth: "Why is she so arrogant! Why did she take away everything from us! I will never let her go!"
Xu Zhiru saw the hatred in Su Yao's eyes, and a subtle smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and then her expression changed to one of sharing the same hatred against the enemy.
She reached out and held Su Yao's cold hand, shaking it hard.
"Su Yao, you're right! We can't just let it go like this!" Her voice was bewitching.
"Ning Nanxue must be feeling very proud right now, right? She stepped on us to climb up, snatched away what belonged to us, and is enjoying everything with a clear conscience! Are we just supposed to watch her happy while we suffer here?"
"No!" Su Yao's emotions were completely ignited, and hatred clouded her mind. "I must make her pay the price! Let her be ruined! Let her have nothing!"
A gleam of light flashed in Xu Zhiru's eyes. This was exactly the effect she wanted.
"Su Yao, I support you." She approached Su Yao, lowered her voice, but her tone was full of strength, "Since we have the same goal, why don't we join forces?"
