Chapter 158: The Brightest Star (Revised)
Xia Rujin hesitated: "No...... Nothing, I'm just going over there to find someone. β
The driver seemed to be having a good time, and said with a smile: "Who are you looking for? You don't look like you're looking for a boyfriend, right? You're so young, your boyfriend should be at school." β
Xia Rujin's old face flushed: "......"
She can't answer that, big brother!
She can't honestly say that she went to see Leng Muhan, right?
Xia Bijin had no choice but to vaguely prevaricate in the past. When she arrived at her destination, she quickly threw the driver a hundred-dollar bill, and then ran away.
When he arrived at Xiangtian Building, Xia Rujin patiently counted the floors with a pounding heart.
She knew what floor Leng Muhan's office building was on, and if the lights over there were on, Leng Muhan would probably still be working inside. If the lights are not on, it proves that Leng Muhan is not there.
One two three four five...... Xia Rujin stood downstairs and looked up so much that his head was about to fall, and only then did he count the lights on the first floor.
He's here!
Xia Rujin counted it three times and finally confirmed it.
Leng Muhan's office is still lit. In other words, this workaholic is still working overtime.
Xia Rujin is high-tech and excited. She must give her uncle a big surprise!
Thinking that she was about to enter the building, but as soon as she entered the lobby, she suddenly turned around again and ran to a convenience store next to the building, and bought two bottles of Coke and a lot of snacks.
With joy in her heart, Xia Rujin felt overjoyed at the thought of forcing the arrogant Leng Muhan to eat snacks and drink Coke with her.
Anyway, no matter what means are used, she must let Leng Muhan personally admit that she scored well in the quiz.
Otherwise, she has a straight face all day long, and her grades are not good every day, and she doesn't like to study. Her ears were calloused.
Xia Bijin finished checking out and hummed a song to the downstairs of Xiangtian Building.
As usual, registering and swiping the card, Xia Rujin walked to the special elevator. Soon the elevator arrived, and her face was red and hot with excitement.
What does it feel like? It's like something you've been waiting for for a long time to suddenly land.
The elevator door opened with a pleasant "clang". There was silence in the hallway, and an office-specific atmosphere came to your face.
Xia Rujin shrank. She quietly walked out, the snack coke in her hand heavy.
She could hear her steps as light as a cat's and the slight rustling of the plastic bag.
It's getting closer...... The closer that door came to her, the more she could feel her heartbeat. One by one, it seemed to jump out of the heart.
Just as she was about to turn the corner, a soft sigh suddenly came from around the corner.
"Mu Han, do you have to be like this?"
Xia Rujin froze. She seemed to have been suddenly made a big move by Zhen Ji in the Glory Game, and suddenly she didn't move.
There were ice cubes all over my body, and it was cold to my heart.
Leng Muhan's voice came: "Ruowei, you should know what I mean." Let's go. β
The voice said mournfully: "Mu Han, don't you want to be like this, okay? You know that I will die like this." I've come all the way from abroad just to be with you. β
"Mu Han, don't you want to be like this, okay? It's not that you don't know that I had a hard time in the past, I really ......"
That soft voice cried mournfully, and it was heartbreaking to hear it.
Xia Rujin seemed to be sleepwalking, and quietly walked around the corner to look.
I saw a snow-white slender figure facing Leng Muhan. The look on Leng Muhan's face was not clear, but it seemed that he did not resist this woman.
Leng Muhan was just silent, and the woman in the white dress opposite couldn't stop crying.
Finally, Leng Muhan seemed to be touched. He stretched out his hand and pressed her shoulder: "Ruowei, don't cry. β
If you are ...... If you are ...... The name swirled in Xia Nijin's mind like a curse.
Ruowei, why is it so familiar?
Xia Rujin only felt that his brain seemed to be rusty, and it would click when he turned it.
If you are ...... If you are ...... If you are ......
Su Ruowei?!
The snack bag in Xia Rujin's hand fell to the ground with a "snap". The two people in the office were stunned when they heard the voice.
Leng Muhan's eyes sank: "Who is it? Who is outside?!"
The woman in the white dress turned around, revealing a beautiful face.
It's that woman!
It's a woman who asks for directions in front of the villa!
Xia Rujin looked at the two of them blankly. When Leng Muhan looked up and saw that it was Xia Rujin, he was also stunned.
"Brocade ......"
Su Ruowei saw that it was Xia Rujin, and surprise appeared in her eyes: "Are you ...... Are you Xia Rujin?"
Xia Rujin looked at the two of them blankly. The two people in front of them are so compatible. One is cold and arrogant, the other is weak and beautiful. The two of them stood together as if they were a match made in heaven.
Xia Rujin looked at herself. Sneakers, sportswear, and a baseball cap to cover her face.
She...... She's like an ugly duckling.
From top to bottom, the words "wild girl" are written.
Leng Muhan's gaze fell on a bag of snacks and Coke on the ground. He hesitated and broke the silence: "Nijin, what are you doing here?"
Xia Rujin squatted down in a daze, picking up the scattered snacks in the same way.
She didn't know how to answer Leng Muhan's words, and she didn't even know whether she should answer or not.
Su Ruowei wiped away her tears and said softly: "Mu Han, it turns out that she is the little girl you adopted." Looks so good. β
Leng Muhan frowned slightly: "It's not adoption." I'm just her guardian. β
Su Ruowei smiled: "That's not the same." β
Xia Nijin, who had been silent, suddenly spoke: "It's different!"
She got up from the ground and looked up at Su Ruowei seriously: "It's different, I'm not a little girl adopted by my uncle." He's just my guardian. The time is eighteen years old. That is, November 12 this year, at 3:5 a.m. β
Su Ruowei was stunned. She didn't expect Xia Yijin's reaction to be so big, accurate to the minute.
She couldn't help but ask, "Why ...... November 12th,...... Three o'clock or something......"
She smiled apologetically, her smile was thrillingly beautiful: "Sister Rujin, I'm sorry, I'm ...... I don't think I should have asked. But since you're related to Mu Han, I think I should know something. After all...... After all, I'm very fond of Muhan. I don't want me to have some misunderstanding with him. β
She said, a shy smile on her pale face.
This smile stung Xia Rujin, a sourness rose from her nose, and the mist suddenly blinded her eyes. Xia Rujin hurriedly lowered his head and quickly wiped away his tears by arranging his hat.
Leng Muhan opened her mouth for her: "Because it was her eighteenth birthday." β
Su Ruowei suddenly realized: "Oh, I know." β
She smiled: "Sure enough, it's the relationship between the guardian and the ward." β
She walked up to Xia Bijin, took her hand, and smiled: "We are so fateful." Sister Rujin, you see that you are Mu Han's ward, and I happen to know you. β
"What did Mu Han do to you?
"If Mu Han is very fierce to you, you must not mind. He just wasn't patient. After so many years, I found that Mu Han and his people are actually very good, but his temper is a little rushed. β
β......β
Xia Rujin's ears were buzzing, and she couldn't hear what Su Ruowei said clearly. She only felt that she had really become a salted fishβa salted fish that had been thrown ashore and couldn't breathe.
Her life, her dreams, her future were bleak.
Su Ruowei didn't know when she left. Xia Rujin only knew that he was standing by the door of Leng Muhan's office like a piece of wood.
The snack bag in her hand was heavy and heavy, like a boulder trying to pull her out of the water and into the abyss.
Leng Muhan's voice finally sounded again: "Rujin, what's wrong with you?"
Xia Rujin raised her head blankly. The lights were harsh and unfamiliar. She didn't know why she was still standing here.
"Uncle, I'm ......"
She squeezed out an ugly smile: "I ...... the exam"
Leng Muhan suddenly spoke: "I know your test results. You don't have to say it. β
Xia Rujin looked at him stunned.
Leng Muhan's eyes showed an inexplicable look, as if he was irritable and impatient.
"I said, I know your test results, you don't need to come here to tell me. β
Xia Rujin was stunned, and soon, she hurriedly put snacks and Coke on his desk.
"Uncle, that ...... Now that you know that I passed the exam, I ...... I want you to be happy too. You see, the snacks I bought for you, and this ginger-flavored cola, are new. Very delicious. You try it. β
"Uncle, did you eat it at night? My name is fried chicken, can we eat it together? β
β......β
Xia Rujin said chatteringly. She had never been so humble. She felt like a speck of dust on the side of Leng Muhan's shoes at this time, and as soon as he lifted his foot, she was kicked away.
And she desperately clung to that little bit of support.
Don't, don't...... There was a voice in her heart screaming desperately.
Leng Muhan didn't say a word, watching Xia Rujin pile the snacks on his desk. She is like a child who has done something wrong, desperately trying to please him.
But it was clear that she had done nothing wrong.
The office fell into a deathly silence again.
Leng Muhan sat on the sofa and suddenly took out a cigarette to smoke. Xia Rujin looked at him stupidly and greedily.
This is her uncle president, who is so handsome even when he smokes a cigarette. Why didn't she ever find that her uncle was so handsome in every pore and hair on his body?
Leng Muhan smoked a cigarette and didn't say a word.
Finally, a cigarette was smoked.
Leng Mu said coldly: "Like Jin, you are not eighteen years old." β
Xia Rujin was stunned: "Yes...... I'm still a few months away. β
Leng Muhan's eyes were as deep as an abyss. He stared at Xia Rujin's eyes, which made her shudder. She almost thought that his glance had pierced her.
"I'm your guardian. I was commissioned by your mother five years ago, but I never showed up with you. You know what?"
Xia Rujin felt a pain in her heart.
Yes. Five years ago, my mother passed away. It was also at that time that Leng Muhan took over the custody that his mother Chen Qiuyuan exchanged for her life.
"I'm ......," she suddenly had an ominous premonition.
No, it's okay not to do that?
