After Ye Minghan left, Butler Chen turned back and asked Chi Rui with a smile if he wanted to have dinner first.
Looking at the smile on his face, Chi Rui couldn't help but blush when she thought about how he saw her being carried in by Ye Minghan just now.
"I...I'll wait for Aunt An and Uncle Ye to come back."
"Okay, Miss Rui."
"Um...Uncle Chen."
Chi Rui hesitated again and said, "Just now I and...we were not..."
"Well, I know, it's because Miss Rui was injured." Butler Chen smiled and said sympathetically.
Chi Rui breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and prepared to go upstairs to his room.
"Do you need help?" Butler Chen asked kindly.
"No need." Chi Rui waved his hand hurriedly, "I can go by myself."
"Then let me help you carry your schoolbag."
“…”
Unable to refuse such a kind invitation, Chi Rui had no choice but to accept it.
So, Butler Chen sent Chi Rui back to her room, made sure that she had nothing else to do, and then turned to leave. But just as he was about to go out, he heard the girl calling him.
"Uncle Chen, please wait a moment."
He couldn't help but turn around and look at the girl sitting at the desk.
"Miss Rui, do you have any other instructions?"
Chi Rui nodded, looking at him curiously with her bright eyes, "My mother told me that I lived in the Ye family for a while when I was a child?"
"Yes, it's been more than ten years in the blink of an eye."
Butler Chen didn't expect Chi Rui to talk about this, and a hint of nostalgia and emotion appeared in his eyes.
Just seeing the strangeness and curiosity in Chi Rui's eyes, he couldn't help but smile and said, "You were only five or six years old at the time, so you may not have much impression, but for us, it was a very beautiful memory."
His voice was gentle and kind. Chi Rui looked at his friendly smile and felt that sense of familiarity again.
Several images came to mind, but they were a little blurry.
"I must have been very naughty when I was a kid, and I must have caused you a lot of trouble."
Chi Rui clenched her fingers, and when she thought of what Ye Minghan said about "climbing on the bed", her face turned red with embarrassment.
"No, Miss Rui is very cute." Butler Chen said gently, "Master, Madam, Miss, and Young Master, everyone likes you very much."
Chi Rui inexplicably thought of Ye Minghan's cold face and felt that there might be some truth in his words.
She smiled and didn't ask any more questions, telling Butler Chen to go and do his work first.
"Ms. Rui, although it may be a little abrupt to say this..."
Perhaps he could see what she was thinking, and before leaving, Butler Chen couldn't help but say one more word.
"I hope you don't have any misunderstandings about me. Because of some experiences in my childhood, I am not used to opening my heart to others, but..."
Butler Chen looked at Chi Rui, the smile in his eyes had disappeared, replaced by an extremely serious look. He said softly: "I can guarantee that the young master has absolutely no ill will towards you."
Chi Rui was slightly stunned. Some experiences in childhood?
But Butler Chen didn't say anything more. After seeing her nod to show that she understood, he left the room and considerately closed the door for her.
Chi Rui looked at the closed door, blinked involuntarily, turned around, and took out a snow-white handkerchief from his backpack.
The white silk square cloth, with only light blue patterns embroidered on the edges, is elegant and fresh, with a faint scent of pine.
This was what Ye Minghan used when he bandaged her wound in the afternoon.
Looking at the bloodstains on the handkerchief, Chi Rui tilted his head as he thought about what Butler Chen said.
Maybe Brother Ye really didn't hate her as much as she thought? He just had a cold personality? And... his words weren't very nice?
Thinking of him calling her a little liar, Chi Rui wrinkled her nose and was still a little annoyed.
She puffed her cheeks, but carefully folded the handkerchief and put it away, thinking of returning it to Ye Minghan after it was washed.
Then, she calmed herself down, took out her exercise book and started doing the exercises.
Time always passes quickly when you are concentrating. She had just finished a few big math problems when there was a knock on the door.
It’s An Xin who’s back.
As soon as she heard Butler Chen say Chi Rui was injured, she immediately ran to see her. Although she knew Chi Rui only had minor scratches, she still felt heartbroken.
She hugged Chi Rui and asked her about her well-being, and then asked her how she was injured and whether Ye Minghan bullied her.
Chi Rui just felt warm in his heart and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"No, Aunt An, I fell down accidentally, and Brother Han took me to the hospital to get bandaged."
That soft and sweet voice made An Xin's heart full of pink bubbles.
Oh, little Ruirui is so cute! She is totally different from her daughter Meng.
"Well, he's a bit sensible now."
An Xin patted the back of Chi Rui's hand and smiled gently.
"You haven't eaten yet, have you? I'll have someone bring it up for you. Your legs are inconvenient, so don't move around. This is your home, so just tell Lao Chen if you need anything. Don't be shy, okay?"
"Yeah, I know, thank you Aunt An."
The two chatted for a few more sentences, and then An Xin left. Soon the maid brought dinner.
Chi Rui ate a little, then remembered something and picked up his phone to check.
There were already 99+ messages in the WeChat class group. She clicked in to take a look and didn’t see any missed notifications. She was about to close it when the message reminder suddenly vibrated.
Sheng Qingle: [Rui Rui]
Sheng Qingle: [Are you there? Are you there? ]
Chi Rui blinked and opened the input method to edit the reply.
Chi Rui: [Le Le, what's wrong? ]
Sheng Qingle: [Rui Rui, are you home yet? Is everything alright?] Chi Rui looked at the bandage on her hand, hesitated for a moment and still didn't tell her, only replied that it was alright, and asked her why she asked.
As soon as the message was sent, Sheng Qingle sent a voice call request, and Chi Rui quickly clicked to answer it.
Sheng Qingle: "I heard that Jiang Xingyang brought people to block you this afternoon. Is everything really okay? Was it that bastard Ying Chengxin who instigated it?"
Chi Rui frowned. There was indeed a student who passed by her this afternoon and was driven away by Jiang Xingyang's companions.
Maybe they said that? I don’t know if other people heard what Jiang Xingyang said to her.
She was a little distressed, but still said to Sheng Qingle: "No, it was not instigated by classmate Ying."
"Really? Then why did Jiang Xingyang look for you?"
"Just... a few words."
Hearing that Chi Rui didn't want to say more, Sheng Qingle didn't press her, but just warned her.
"Rui Rui, listen to me, don't get too close to them. Jiang Xingyang is not someone we can afford to offend."
Jiang Xingyang is the boss of Dongxuan High School. Fighting is a common occurrence for him. When he was in the first year of high school, he even beat up a teacher. But in the end, nothing was done and classes went on as usual as if nothing had happened.
Be it family background or personality, it's not something a little sheep like Chi Rui can handle.
Listening to Sheng Qingle's words, Chi Rui couldn't help but think of Jiang Xingyang's threat.
"Either be my girlfriend or forget about staying in Xuancheng. Choose one of the two. Think it over carefully."
She still remembered his vicious eyes, like a little wolf cub. She didn't feel much fear in her heart, but just a little uneasy and worried.
She just wants to study hard, why is there so much trouble?
This is the most lively bar in Xuancheng.
The dance hall at night is filled with the smell of alcohol and hormones, and amidst the noisy and blaring music, men and women are reveling in abandon.
However, the dark alley behind the bar seemed a bit deserted.
The man standing in the shadows had a cigarette in his mouth. With a click, the lighter lit up and went out.
A spark of fire lit up in the night.
Jiang Xingyang and a group of his younger brothers stood in front of him, looking very ugly.
At this time, the night wind blew the street lamp on the wall. The light flickered, reflecting the young man's cold and handsome face.
His eyes were calm, without much emotion, but they made Jiang Xingyang shudder and tremble slightly.
Jiang Xingyang swallowed his saliva. He never thought that Ye Minghan would finally find them!
In fact, he had never fought with Ye Minghan, because when Ye Minghan became famous, he was still in junior high school. Although Ye Minghan was cruel, he basically did not cause trouble for the junior high school department.
But Dongxuan's high school and junior high school used to be connected, and the circle of wealthy families was only so small, so they had more or less some intersections since childhood.
It can be said that their generation grew up under the shadow of Ye Minghan.
Fortunately, Ye Minghan went abroad to study later, and without the people suppressing them, people like them were able to come to the fore.
Looking at the man in the shadow, Jiang Xingyang clenched his fists. He felt fear and gradually a sense of unwillingness.
Although Ye Minghan was well-known, that was all a thing of the past. A hero never boasts of his past achievements. Now he was the most powerful one in the circle, and he was the boss of Dongxuan High School!
He couldn't beat him before, but that's not necessarily the case now!
Ye Minghan looked at him, his lips holding the cigarette curled up in a playful arc.
It seems that he has been gone for too long and some people have forgotten about him.
"Let's go together."
He glanced at Jiang Xingyang indifferently, and the arrogance in his eyes made the young man's eyes red with anger. Without saying anything else, he swung his fist and hit Ye Minghan!
Soon, from the depths of the dark alley, the muffled sound of fists and feet clashing could be heard.
A wild cat poked its head out from behind an empty wine bottle, its pupils reflecting a faint light in the darkness as it peered into the depths of the alley. Then it was frightened by the bursts of shrill screams and ran away, meowing for its life.
I don't know how long it was before the noise in the alley died down, leaving only suppressed moans of pain.
A pair of shiny leather shoes stepped on Jiang Xingyang's chest.
At this moment, his face was bruised and swollen, with blood at the corners of his mouth. He was lying in a pool of dirty water. He had lost his previous high spirits and looked as miserable as a prodigal dog.
Ye Minghan looked down at him condescendingly, his slightly narrowed black eyes revealing a cold and hostile aura.
"Are you tired of living? How dare you touch my Ye Minghan's sister?"
The author has something to say: Chi Rui: Brother Han, it turns out that not only do you not hate me, you also treat me as your sister (＿)
Master Ye: Not my sister...
Chi Rui: Huh? What did you just say?
Master Ye: Nothing...
