Chapter 169: Cause and Effect
Leaning on the motorcycle, Luo Wujie had been waiting at the door of his villa for more than an hour, but he still did not see the arrival of the person he was waiting for. Daoyu Pavilion
Boredom, Luo Wujie took out a pack of cigarettes from his jacket pocket and prepared to smoke a cigarette to relieve his boredom.
But just as Luo Wujie took out a cigarette from the cigarette case and put it in his mouth, about to light it with a lighter, he suddenly inadvertently saw a young girl in a white floral dress walking in his direction not far away.
The moment he saw the young girl, Luo Wujie immediately put the lighter in his hand back, and the cigarette in his mouth spit out into the grass on the side.
Because that young girl is the person Luo Wujie has been waiting for, Luo Wujie's friend and former college classmate Liang Yiru, and Luo Wujie knows that what Liang Yiru hates most is a man who smokes cigarettes.
"Yiru!" When Liang Yiru approached, Luo Wujie immediately waved at Liang Yiru to say hello.
"Wu Jie, why don't you go in at your door?" Liang Yiru also saw Luo Wujie from a long distance, and couldn't help but ask strangely.
"I'm waiting for you!" replied Luo Wujie with a smile on his face.
It turned out that yesterday, Luo Wujie heard from his brother Luo Wenjie that Liang Yiru was coming to celebrate Luo Wenjie's birthday today, but Luo Wenjie didn't want to get too close to Liang Yiru because he recently met a girl surnamed Han, so he went to the suburbs early in the morning with a sketchpad on his back.
Luo Wenjie didn't want Liang Yiru to celebrate his birthday, but Luo Wujie very much hoped that Liang Yiru could come.
Because Luo Wujie has liked Liang Yiru very much since he was in school, but what makes Luo Wujie depressed is that before he can find a suitable opportunity to confess to Liang Yiru, Liang Yiru has already fallen in love with his brother Luo Wenjie first.
Although because of his father Luo Xudong, Luo Wenjie did not become an official boyfriend and girlfriend relationship with Liang Yiru, but the intimacy shown by Luo Wenjie and Liang Yiru can be seen by anyone who can see that the relationship between the two is above pure friendship.
The person he loves, but he falls in love with his brother, which naturally makes Luo Wujie feel extremely painful.
Luo Wujie also wanted to express his love for her to Liang Yiru several times, but because of his introverted and withdrawn personality and the inferiority complex in his heart, Luo Wujie still didn't say it.
However, although his heart was extremely painful, he still pretended to be a nobody in front of Liang Yiru, because since it was impossible to become a lover, he didn't want to be friends with Liang Yiru.
Of course, the reason why Luo Wujie hopes that Liang Yiru can come, in addition to his crush on Liang Yiru behind his back, there is another reason, that is, Luo Wujie, who has been doing nothing at home recently, feels extremely confused about his life, so he hopes to find someone to listen to him, and in Luo Wujie's eyes, Liang Yiru is undoubtedly the best person to be his listener.
"Wait for me, what are you waiting for me for?" asked Liang Yiru with a puzzled face.
But then Liang Yiru didn't wait for Luo Wujie to answer, so he waved his hand and said, "Okay, don't talk about this! What about your brother? Are you at home? I called yesterday and said that I wanted to celebrate his birthday." ”
"He ......" Luo Wujie listened to Liang Yiru ask about his brother Luo Wenjie, and his face couldn't help but stiffen.
In fact, yesterday Luo Wenjie asked him to tell Liang Yiru that he had something to ask Liang Yiru not to come, but Luo Wujie did not tell Liang Yiru about it because of his own careful thinking.
Of course, with the Luo brothers' understanding of Liang Yiru, even if Luo Wenjie asked Liang Yiru not to come, he would still come back, otherwise Luo Wenjie would not have gone to the suburbs early in the morning to sketch, and he has not come back until now.
"What is he, Wu Jie, when did you talk so much!" Liang Yiru frowned.
Luo Wujie knew that if Luo Wenjie ran to the suburbs in order to avoid her, I was afraid that Liang Yiru would turn around and leave, and nine times out of ten he would go to his brother Luo Wenjie.
Thinking that in order to let Liang Yiru stay, Luo Wujie had to lie: "Oh! He is not at home for the time being, so he went out to buy something!"
"That's it, then I'll wait for him here!" Liang Yiru said, naturally putting the cake box and a gift box he was carrying on Luo Wujie's motorcycle.
"Yiru, is this a gift from you to my brother?" Luo Wujie couldn't help but ask when he saw the gift box.
"That's right!" Liang Yiru nodded.
"Then did you bring me a gift?" Luo Wujie asked expectantly.
"Bring you a gift, why?" Liang Yiru glanced at Luo Wujie.
"Yiru, my brother and I have the same birthday, have you forgotten?" Luo Wujie asked.
"It seems to be! I really forgot!" Liang Yiru raised her head and thought about it, and finally remembered that Luo Wenjie seemed to have told herself that Luo Wujie and he were twins.
It's just that Liang Yiru never took this seriously, anyway, she only celebrates Luo Wenjie's birthday every time, and Luo Wujie occasionally comes to eat cake.
Seeing that Liang Yiru really forgot that he and his brother Luo Wenjie had the same birthday, Luo Wujie couldn't help but lower his head, because he didn't want Liang Yiru to see the lonely look on his face at this time.
After being silent for a moment, Luo Wujie repacked his mood and prepared to use Liang Yiru to confide in Liang Yiru about his distress when Liang Yiru didn't know that Luo Wenjie was not there.
"Yiru, I've been in some trouble lately, and I want to talk to someone, are you willing to listen to me?"
"Say it!" Although Liang Yiru didn't really want to listen to Luo Wujie in her heart, she was idle now anyway, and it didn't hurt to listen to it, so it was just to pass the time.
"Yiru, you know that I found several jobs after graduation, but the final results were not very good, so this makes me very annoyed!" Luo Wujie drooped his head and said to Liang Yiru listlessly.
But in front of Luo Wujie, who became depressed because of the unsatisfactory work, Liang Yiru seemed a little absent-minded, and she said casually: "Then what!"
"Then I wondered if I could go to my dad's company and find a job first, and then go out and start my own business when I had some work experience and resume. Luo Wujie replied.
"And then!" Liang Yiru played with the hem of her skirt, and she didn't know if she heard what Luo Wujie was saying.
"But my dad said that I would only add to the chaos when I went to the company, and said that I didn't want to find a way to find a job outside, so I just wanted to take shortcuts and gnaw at the family's old roots. Yiru, don't you say that my dad is deliberately targeting me! Not to mention that I have been working outside for a year, not to mention that our family has that condition, what happened to me going back to our company? Besides, my brother went directly to work in our company as soon as he graduated, why didn't my dad tell my brother that there were no such things. Luo Wujie complained to Liang Yiru with an angry face.
According to Luo Wujie's thoughts, after listening to his own story, Liang Yiru had to comfort himself a few words.
But what Luo Wujie never expected was that Liang Yiru actually pursed his lips and looked at him very contemptuously: "Wujie, can you compare with Wen Jie? Wen Jie's ability and talent are all there! But what about you! When you were studying, your grades were average, and you were fired by others for three days when you worked outside, so your father must not worry about you joining the company!"
Originally, Luo Wujie was expecting Liang Yiru to comfort him, but what he was waiting for was ruthless ridicule, and the huge gap between the two made Luo Wujie completely unacceptable.
Listening to the words that came out of Liang Yiru's mouth, Luo Wujie only felt as if someone had smashed his head with a hammer.
"Yiru, am I really as bad as you say?" Luo Wujie asked in an extremely bitter voice.
Originally, Luo Wujie thought that his brother Luo Wenjie had fallen in love with Han Ziyu and decided to completely break the relationship with Liang Yiru, and he might be able to have a chance.
But Luo Wujie didn't expect that in Liang Yiru's heart, he would be so unbearable.
"Hmm!" Liang Yiru, who didn't pay attention to this conversation with Luo Wujie at all, didn't notice Luo Wujie's abnormality, and even nodded very affirmatively.
Luo Wujie stared at the ground with blank eyes, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart.
After a while, Liang Yiru didn't see Luo Wenjie appear for a long time, and couldn't help but be a little impatient, so he asked Luo Wujie: "Wujie, where did your brother go to buy things? Why hasn't he come back yet?"
"What?" Luo Wujie, who was immersed in his emotions, didn't hear what Liang Yiru was talking to him for a while.
"Wu Jie, your brain is not bright, why are your ears so bad! I asked why Wen Jie hasn't come back yet?" Liang Yiru slapped Luo Wujie's back hard.
Liang Yiru's words were full of ridicule, but in fact, Liang Yiru had no malicious intent.
Because Liang Yiru's personality is already a bit big, or a little boyish, she often speaks without concealment.
Second, Liang Yiru has always regarded Luo Wujie as a good buddy, and she has always been very casual when getting along with Luo Wujie.
And Luo Wujie is also very clear about this, and he is occasionally said by Liang Yiru, but he has never taken it to heart.
But this time is different, Luo Wujie himself was depressed because of things at work, and because Luo Wenjie deliberately alienated Liang Yiru, he thought that he had hope to pursue Liang Yiru again.
So Liang Yiru's words that Luo Wujie had long been accustomed to were not light or heavy, but at this moment, they were like steel needles piercing his heart.
Frustration, sadness, and pain all kinds of negative emotions rose and fermented in Luo Wujie's heart, and finally all turned into anger, anger towards Liang Yiru.
"Oh, actually, my brother is not going to buy something, he has been waiting for you at the Ruiyuan Hotel where we have been in the past. ”
"What!" Liang Yiru's eyes widened, and then she said angrily: "Wu Jie, then why did you lie to me just now that Wen Jie went shopping?"
"Because I want you to talk to me for a while!" replied Luo Wujie.
"Wu Jie, are you sick in the brain! It's so boring!" Liang Yiru heard this, her lungs were about to explode, and she picked up the cake and gift box from Luo Wujie's motorcycle and was about to leave.
"Wait for Yiru!"
But Liang Yiru had just stepped out of the step, and Luo Wujie suddenly grabbed her arm.
"What are you doing?" Liang Yiru turned her head angrily, she had wasted so much time just now because of Luo Wujie, and she didn't know if Luo Wenjie would see that she hadn't come, so she couldn't wait to leave directly.
"I'll drive you!"
When Luo Wujie said this, he regained his smile when he faced Liang Yiru in the past, Liang Yiru saw it, and thought that the hotel was indeed far away, and compared with taking a taxi, Luo Wujie's motorcycle was indeed much faster.
So Liang Yiru nodded and said, "Okay then! I'll give you this chance to make up for it!"
However, what Liang Yiru didn't find was that behind Luo Wujie's smile at this time was hiding something different from usual.
If she looked closely at Luo Wujie's eyes, she would see a fierce light flashing in them.
