It's Chen Sisi.
I received her message first thing this morning, what bad luck!
"I don't understand what you're saying. If there's nothing else, I'll hang up now."
"etc!"
Chen Sisi shouted on the other end of the phone.
"Li Ruo, we used to be best friends. Now that your boyfriend is trying to mess with me, are you really going to stand by and do nothing?"
"You were so heartless back then, so why shouldn't I be?"
Kindness is a good thing, but cowardice is not.
In the past, many of Li Ruo's "good intentions" eventually turned into sharp knives that stabbed her.
This time, she will not repeat the same mistake.
Although Wen Huaiyan gave her a break.
But Li Ruo still rushed to the company in the afternoon.
The recent turmoil at the materials factory hasn't completely subsided, and she needs to take control of the project.
As it was nearing the end of the workday, Li Ruo spotted a familiar figure at the company entrance.
The rain had stopped, and the sky finally showed a few warm rays of light after several days.
The man's tall figure stood in the sunlight, seemingly merging with a scene from my memory.
In that instant, Li Ruo recalled how she had seen him on the playground in the past.
Clean and fresh, even when sweating, she looked very clean and didn't have a bad smell at all.
Every time he scored a goal, he would glance at the edge of the basketball court.
That spot was where Li Ruo was sitting.
But it was only for a moment.
The memory shattered rapidly in my mind.
Li Ruo seemed not to see the other person, tightened her sling over her bag, and prepared to leave.
A second later, a sound rang out.
"Li Ruo".
The figure that had just been standing in the sunset ran up to her.
"Are you off work?"
You're out of school!
It was the same tone as always.
Li Ruo behaved very calmly and politely, even her tone carried a hint of aloofness.
"What a coincidence."
"Unfortunately, I was waiting for you."
These words sounded easy. If Li Ruo didn't know what had happened between the two of them, she would think that she was still in an ambiguous and intimate relationship with Lu Zihang.
She spoke.
“I don’t think there’s any need for us to meet again, Mr. Lu.”
"I broke up with Chen Sisi."
As expected.
But what does that have to do with her?
"That's great. You've made a crucial choice in your life. Best wishes to you."
"Li Ruo, is it really impossible for us?"
The two were very close, and Li Ruo could even see the slight trembling in the other person.
If this had happened in the past, she would have felt heartbroken.
But as time goes by, many feelings remain in the past, they are simply left there.
"Li Ruo, are you still blaming me?"
Upon hearing this, Li Ruo paused for a moment.
Is that strange?
There was one at the beginning, right?
But I figured it out later.
Lu Zihang was also a victim; he was simply framed by a villain at that age.
She was right, and he was right, but the story simply couldn't continue.
"I've never blamed you, maybe we're just not meant to be."
You used to say that you were the least likely to believe in fate.
"But I believe it now."
Li Ruo stared straight at Lu Zihang, "People change."
The atmosphere fell silent, and neither of them spoke again.
Li Ruo glanced at the time. "If you have nothing else to say, then I'll take my leave. My boyfriend is waiting for me."
"Li Ruo, I know, that's not your boyfriend, you two aren't in that kind of relationship."
Li Ruo paused.
The look in her eyes as she looked at Lu Zihang was somewhat incredulous.
The other party is as clever as ever.
"That's him."
"No, I know what your eyes look like when you like someone. I've seen it."
“Lu Zihang, you take yourself too seriously. In the past, I felt more gratitude towards you than anything else.”
There's no point in getting entangled with the other party anymore.
Li Ruo left with her bag, feeling a tightness in her chest.
Troubles don't come singly.
She had just returned to the villa when the housekeeper called her to a stop in the courtyard.
"Miss Li!"
Li Ruo stopped walking and turned around. "What is it?"
The housekeeper hurried over and spoke respectfully.
"Your family came by today, saying they brought you something."
It's perfectly normal for members of the Li family to come here.
That family is a bunch of opportunists who climb the social ladder.
Finding this place was only a matter of time.
"Just here to take a look?"
"I left you some things, saying that I must wait for you to come back so that I can personally hand them to you."
"Has the person left?"
"not yet."
Dealing with work during the day is already stressful enough.
Even her rest time was being taken up, and Li Ruo's expression was not good.
But the moment she stepped inside, she put on that smug, triumphant look.
"Oh, Ruoruo, you're finally back! We've been waiting for you for so long."
Sun Lan, with her sharp eyes, spotted her immediately and then warmly approached her.
"You must be tired from work. Your sister and I brought you your favorite soup, it's warming up in the kitchen."
Even though she could see the distance in Li Ruo's eyes, Sun Lan still spoke warmly.
"Ruoruo, you don't know, during the time you were away from home, your sister talked about you every day, hoping you would come home and visit."
Li Ruo's smile didn't reach her eyes.
"Really? My sister wasn't like this when I went home last time."
