Chapter 215 Viper
Back in A University, Lin Ruo and Xu Zhao were a well-known loving couple. Lin Ruo was a talented girl in the music department, while Xu Zhao was a top student in the computer science department. Everyone was optimistic about this couple, and they even decided to get married after graduation.
But then a man named Lu Qi appeared.
In order to save more money for her and Xu Zhao's new family after graduation, Lin Ruo found a part-time job as a piano teacher. It was because of her outstanding work ability that she was recommended to the Lu family.
When Lin Ruo first visited the Lu family, she met Lu Qi for the first time.
Lu Qi was indeed a gentleman. After asking Lin Ruo some basic questions and listening to her play a piece, he recognized her abilities and officially made her Lu Yuan's tutor.
Their first meeting was no different from that of an ordinary employer and job applicant. Xu Zhao even remembered that when Lin Ruo came back, she said that the owner of the house seemed to have a good temper and would not make things difficult for people. Moreover, he was very busy with work and rarely came home.
Xu Zhao was naturally happy for Lin Ruo. Lin Ruo liked playing the piano and had found an easy-going employer, so her work would definitely be much easier.
Everything seemed to be moving in a positive direction.
Naturally, Xu Zhao, being a man, also worried that the young man named Lu Qi might have ulterior motives towards his girlfriend. However, every time Lin Ruo returned from work, he could tell from her that Lu Qi was very good at maintaining a proper distance.
Even though Lu Qi has been less busy with work lately and has been coming home more often, he would occasionally bring Lu Yuan some small gifts. The gifts he gave to Lin Ruo were never expensive; they were just casual gestures out of courtesy.
Lu Qi's relationship with Lin Ruo could hardly be described as that of a friend; it was more like the attitude a generous boss should have towards an employee.
However, Xu Zhao still decided to deliberately wait for Lin Ruo to get off work at the Lu family's door when he had some free time on a certain day.
Unsurprisingly, he met Lu Qi.
It seems that, just as Lin Ruo said, Lu Qi is indeed a refined and polite person. After learning about the relationship between Xu Zhao and Lin Ruo, he warmly invited Xu Zhao to come in and sit for a while and have some tea.
Lu Qi's attitude is absolutely correct.
Xu Zhao politely declined his invitation and took Lin Ruo's hand as they walked back.
Lin Ruo laughed and said, "I told you not to worry unnecessarily. Mr. Lu is a good person, and he's so rich and has seen so many beautiful women. He wouldn't have any designs on me."
Xu Zhao said softly, "Who said that? You are the best woman in the world."
He rarely said sweet words, but that day he used this sentence to make the girl very happy.
It was at that moment that Lu Qi stood by the window on the second floor, quietly watching the young couple walking down the street, chatting and laughing, their coffee in their hands growing cold without them taking a sip.
Some venomous snakes like to lie in wait in seemingly harmless grass, waiting for someone to lower their guard and pass by before suddenly leaping out to plunge their fangs into the flesh of their prey and inject venom.
As their graduation approached, their wedding date drew near.
In a short period of time, Xu Zhao inexplicably encountered many unexpected changes. For example, a rich young lady inexplicably took a liking to him. If he was willing to marry her, he could have the wealth that others envied without having to work hard.
After he refused, he received another HR invitation from a company. When he went for the interview, at a dinner table with a drinking culture, he was teased by the crowd and had to drink a glass of wine. He then lost consciousness. When he woke up, he was lying in bed with a woman next to him.
...
There are too many unexpected events. Even if someone is unlucky, they won't be this unfortunate, let alone that these things are clearly aimed at him.
Xu Zhao had not offended anyone, let alone someone who had the ability to mobilize so many people and use such a grand display to frame him.
By the time he realized that the person who attacked him from behind was Lu Qi, Lu Qi had completely torn off his well-dressed disguise.
Xu Zhao and Lin Ruo did try to resist, but besides each other, they also had family and friends they couldn't let go of.
Lin Ruo was the one who suggested breaking up; she didn't want to ruin Xu Zhao's promising future because of her.
Not long after, news of Lin Ruo's marriage to Lu Qi spread.
Even though everyone was advising Xu Zhao to let it go, he still couldn't control himself and went after Lu Qi, punching him.
Lu Qi did not retaliate, nor did he even try to dodge.
Soon, Xu Zhao was pulled away by the others.
Lu Qi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and smiled elegantly, "If you're not satisfied, you can always throw a punch."
His nonchalant attitude wasn't because he was magnanimous, but because he had gotten what he wanted and was therefore content, which gave him a sense of superiority and arrogance towards the pitiful.
Lu Qi sighed with feigned distress, "But now that I have a family, she'll probably worry if she sees me injured."
At that time, Xu Zhao realized so clearly that the name Lu Qi was already tied to Lin Ruo, and no matter what he did to Lu Qi, in the end, only Lin Ruo would suffer.
Lu Qi left with his men, and Xu Zhao stood there for a long time. From that day on, he disappeared from that city.
Lu Qi asked, "What exactly did Ruoruo say to you on the phone?"
Xu Zhao looked at the man in front of her and suddenly laughed with pleasure.
The man who was once so arrogant and treated everyone like puppets, both haughty and despicable, now looks rather comical as he stares blankly at the questioner.
Xu Zhao said, "Why should I tell you?"
Xu Zhao heard Lin Ruo's accident over the phone and drove to the hospital overnight, only to find the operating room lights still on.
A nurse carried a crying baby out of the operating room, but neither he nor Lu Qi gave it a second glance.
Because the person they care about most is still in the operating room.
Lu Qi was like that too. His usual fake smile was gone, replaced by a blank expression. He asked in a flat tone, "What did she say to you on the phone?"
The last call record on Lin Ruo's phone didn't have a contact name saved, but Lu Qi had a gut feeling that it was a call to Xu Zhao, and that was exactly what happened.
Xu Zhao stared at Lu Qi quietly for a long time before finally laughing, "Why should I tell you? Can't you guess what she'll say on the phone?"
Yes, they were each other's first love, and the breakup wasn't their intention. So what could they possibly say on the phone?
