Jiang Bin felt helpless as he looked at Bai Ruoxi who was sitting on the sofa in the lobby and crying non-stop.
Why did he take pity on her and bring her in just now?
Now, I have to rely on him.
"Miss Bai, I just told you that Brother Dong has gone back to his room to write some materials. He doesn't have time to see you."
Bai Ruoxi's eyes were filled with tears, her handkerchief was soaked, and she looked as charming as a willow in the wind. "I just wanted to give him these meals. It won't take up too much of his time."
"It's not a matter of time, but... Dong Ge doesn't know you well, so he can't accept the food you cook. Do you understand?"
"Why not? They're just some home-cooked dishes, not expensive." Bai Ruoxi stared at him with clear eyes, as if she was not on the same wavelength with him at all.
Jiang Bin scratched his head in annoyance. How come this guy couldn't understand what was being said?
Dong Ge had only met her once, yet she braved the heavy rain to bring him food. Was she asking for a favor, or was she really planning to break up with Gu Mingfeng and find another partner after what he had done last time?
If it was the latter, Jiang Bin would definitely stop him.
But even if it was the former, Jiang Bin felt that Bai Ruoxi's behavior was inappropriate.
What girl can't wait to bring food to a man she just met?
His parents have been married for more than 30 years, and it was only in the first few years of their marriage that his mother brought meals to his father.
In this era, delivering food to each other means tacitly acknowledging that you are a couple. Does Bai Ruoxi really not know, or is she pretending to know?
"In any case, there's no way he'll accept it. Go back quickly."
Jiang Bin left after saying this. He was now covered in sweat and was almost stinking.
Bai Ruoxi stood up and grabbed his arm, "No! Big Brother, please ask Brother Dong to come down. I really, really just want to hand him the thermos."
"Miss Bai, why don't you just tell me what you want from Brother Dong? I can't accept anything and can only help you pass on the message." Jiang Bin said as he took two steps back.
Bai Ruoxi nervously clutched her handkerchief and blinked hard a few times to hold back her tears.
“I, I…”
"Hurry up, I still need to take a shower. If you go too late, there will be no hot water." Jiang Bin urged.
Bai Ruoxi's eyes were filled with grievance and resentment, and she stammered, "Ask him if he still remembers the little Ruoxi from Beidaihe Reservoir back then?"
After saying that, he rushed into the rain holding the thermos.
Jiang Bin looked at the umbrella in her other hand, his face full of confusion.
"This Miss Bai, must be out of her mind. When she left just now, she didn't use her umbrella and got soaked to the skin. If you didn't know, you'd think someone had bullied her. I swear to God, I didn't bully her!"
Back in the room, Jiang Bin took out a pair of shorts from the suitcase and complained to Xing Haodong.
Xing Haodong took out some Beijing instant noodles and asked him, "How many packets do you want?"
"Two packets! Plus a sausage and a packet of Fuling pickled mustard greens!" Jiang Bin dumped his clothes and towel into the enamel basin and continued muttering, "She also asked me to tell you something. Something like...she wanted me to ask you, do you remember that little weakling in overalls in Beidaihe back then? I think she said something like that."
Xing Haodong poured the boiling water into the enamel pot with an expressionless face. "What a mess."
"That's right. I think Director Bai's daughter is not well-raised. Although she is pretty, she is far inferior to Jiang Mingxin. Jiang Mingxin's daughter is so beautiful..."
"Why aren't you going? The hot water is almost gone."
"Oh, I'll go right away. Let's soak my noodles when I get back, otherwise they won't taste good if they clump together!"
Jiang Bin slammed the door shut. Xing Haodong stared at the remaining half bag of pickled mustard greens in his hand and pulled out two to give to him.
Does he need to say that Jiang Mingxin is beautiful?
Only those with eyes know.
Outside the guesthouse, a dog-shit green Polonaise picked up Bai Ruoxi.
As soon as she got in the car, she was scolded by Lin Qiu.
"I think you're really crazy. You actually come here to deliver food to another man! Who is he, where is he from, who are his family members, what does he do for a living? Have you ever asked about these things?"
Bai Ruoxi curled up with wet limbs, looking at the long and thick stream winding at her feet, feeling aggrieved and angry.
"Aunt Qiu, I'm already in such a miserable state, can you please stop talking?"
"Miserable? You're just caught in the rain and you feel miserable?" Lin Qiu laughed sarcastically, "If you marry the wrong person, you'll have to eat coarse food every day, without a car, a dress, or even vanishing cream. You'll have many more miserable days ahead of you!"
Bai Ruoxi stubbornly twisted the hem of her skirt and retorted, "That's impossible. Dong Ge is so outstanding, how could he let me live a hard life?"
Lin Qiu snorted coldly, "I think you are really possessed by a ghost."
"Even if he's well-off and ambitious, you saw today that he wouldn't even see you even though you rushed to bring him food. Either he's married and needs to avoid suspicion, or he simply doesn't know how to be gentle with women. So what if you can win over a man like that? If he doesn't show any affection or consideration after you get married, you'll be nothing but a free babysitter!"
"I won't listen, I won't listen! Aunt Qiu, please stop talking. Brother Dong is not that kind of person. He just..." Bai Ruoxi was certain that as long as Xing Haodong recognized her, his attitude would definitely change.
Seeing her so stubborn, Lin Qiu was so angry that his ribs hurt.
But it is normal for an eighteen-year-old girl to be rebellious. If she blindly stops and denies it, it may have the opposite effect.
Lin Qiu decided to use her advanced 21st-century thinking to influence her. After a moment's contemplation, she said, "It's shameful to waste money. The county hospital is also on this road. Let's go see Gu Mingfeng."
