CHAPTER XXIII
However, excitement was excitement, Gu Xinran didn't dare to stay longer, put down his things and hurried back downstairs.
When she walked to Rong Ze's room, Lin Mei had already left, Gu Xinran probed her brain at the door for a while, and saw that she was half-lying on the bed looking at him and sneered, "Do you still know how to come back?"
He removed the gauze on his face half a month ago, from the corner of his right eye to his chin, his whole face was like a rag that had been spliced at random, and in some places it was pitted, and it looked hideous and terrifying like a ghost, on the day the gauze was removed, Rong Ze smashed all the reflective things in the room, Gu Xinran was even more frightened by him and had nightmares for several days in a row, although he is almost used to it, he will still be startled when he sees it coldly, and then Rong Ze will be furious.
At the beginning, knowing that Gu Xinran was scared, she grabbed her hair and pressed her head on her face, staring at Gu Xinran's pale face viciously, and asked her with a smile: "What? Are you afraid of me? Ah? Look at me! Look at me! Isn't it terrible! Hmm? You're so scared that you can't sleep at night, right?"
At that time, Gu Xinran really felt that he was about to be scared to death by him, so he had to desperately close his eyes and be out of sight.
She still has a little sympathy for Rong Ze in her heart, especially after seeing his previous photos, she guesses that Rong Ze herself will definitely not be able to accept being like this, if she shows a scared expression again, it is estimated that it will make Rong Ze even more embarrassed, so she will try her best to control her expression now and not show that she is very scared.
But having said that, when Leng Buding saw such a face, he would be startled, and some reactions were subconscious, not to mention that Rong Ze's current face could already be described as gloomy.
It is impossible to say that she is not afraid in her heart, but because she got a "gift" from Rong Cheng today and found her future direction, she is still very happy in her heart, but this happiness must not be shown in front of Rong Ze.
Fortunately, she has always looked timid and cowardly in front of Rong Ze, if you want Rong Ze not to find out, just lower your head, plus she is standing at the door, and the distance is far away, Rong Ze should not be able to see the expression on her face clearly, only heard her whisper: "Go down to eat......?" Shall I change your clothes?"
Rong Ze was silent for a while, stared at her and said, "What do I think...... You seem happy?"
Gu Xinran touched his face with some weakness and said, "No...... No, I have nothing to be happy about......"
Rong Ze thought about it for a while, and snorted coldly: "Hmph, look at the stupid look on your face, bring me the clothes!"
Gu Xinran was accustomed to Rong Ze's temperament of not saying a few good words all day long, and he couldn't help but talk more after being relieved: "Actually, you should go out and talk with your family more, so that you will be in a better mood, and you are always stuffy in the room, and it is easy to be unhappy." ”
Rong Ze looked at her rummaging in the closet with a complicated expression, for the first time he didn't know what to say, he wondered if this woman was born with a lack of tendon, no matter how he stabbed her with words, it seemed that he would never be angry, at most he felt unhappy and shut up and didn't speak, every time it was like a fist hit on the cotton, not only did he not feel angry, but he felt more aggrieved.
Next, until he went downstairs, Rong Ze didn't speak again, and even Gu Xinran picked out a shirt with a bad style for him, he didn't lose his temper, and it made Gu Xinran strange for a long time.
Later, when he thought about it, he probably hadn't gone out to meet anyone for a long time, so he was a little nervous, and before going out, Rong Ze asked Gu Xinran to take out a mask from the drawer at the head of the bed and put it on.
Gu Xinran wanted to tell him that after a while, the mask would still have to be removed, but he was afraid that he would be angry, so he finally chose to remain silent.
When the two went downstairs, the people of the Rong family had already arrived, gathered in the living room with guns and sticks and chatting while testing each other, Rong Yi and Rong Fei sat in the corner playing with their mobile phones, as soon as Lin Mei saw Rong Ze appear at the elevator entrance, she stood up and walked over, took the wheelchair from Gu Xinran's hand, didn't even look at her, pushed Rong Ze in the direction of the restaurant, and said as she walked: "Why did you come down so early? ”
Rong Ze shook his head and didn't speak, the people sitting in the living room looked at each other, and a hint of understanding flashed in their eyes, except for going up to see Rong Ze when he was unconscious, they never found a chance to go upstairs.
Except that Lin Mei didn't allow them to go upstairs, saying that they would disturb Rong Ze's recuperation, even the old man gave an order to let them go to Rong Ze less often.
Now that they see people, they also know in their hearts the purpose of the old man's doing, the eldest young master of the Rong family, who is indispensable, is now like a gutter rat who can't see the light, can't he be careful to provide it?
Rong Yi closed his phone, with a mocking smile on his lips, got up and straightened his clothes, and walked towards the restaurant.
Gu Xinran stood in place, rubbed his hands a little embarrassedly, and looked at the people who were sitting with their own thoughts, but he didn't see Rong Cheng, and couldn't help but turn his head and look around.
At first glance, I found that Rong Cheng was leaning against the floor-to-ceiling window, the light was relatively dim, and the night outside the window seemed to be integrated with the darkness.
As soon as Gu Xinran wanted to get up, he saw Rong Fei running to Rong Cheng's side, tilting his head and smiling at him and saying a few words, Rong Cheng also nodded, Gu Xinran didn't have time to step out, took it back, lowered his head and thought about it, and consciously walked to the kitchen.
Her current skills are not enough, and she can't get to Rong Cheng's side as confidently as Rong Fei, but one day, she believes that she can be qualified to stand by his side.
When she walked to the kitchen to help for a while, she heard Lin Mei calling her outside, Gu Xinran wiped her hands and walked out, and saw Lin Mei frowning, and said with some dissatisfaction: "What are you doing hiding inside?" Go to Xiao Ze and serve him to eat." ”
Gu Xinran walked quickly to Rong Ze's side, everyone else was already seated, the old man was still upstairs and didn't come down, Rong Ze saw her coming, turned his head to look at the vacant seat next to him, and motioned for her to sit next to him, that person was just diagonally opposite Rong Cheng, Gu Xinran could see his face as soon as he looked up.
The seat next to Rong Cheng was also empty, Gu Xinran looked left and right, and felt that everyone had arrived, who was left with this seat?
Just when she was a little confused, Rong Fei brought someone in from outside, and as soon as she entered the door, she smiled and said, "Let's see who is coming?" Sister Xue Yao, come in!"
Then, I saw a slender figure walking in, Lin Xueyao smiled at everyone Yingying and said, "Tonight, my parents have gone out to socialize, and I am the only one left at home, so I came over for dinner uninvited, don't you mind?"
Lin Mei stepped forward with a smile, pulled Lin Xueyao to her side, and said, "What kind of stupid thing are you kidding, why didn't anyone in the family tell your aunt earlier?" I asked the driver to pick you up." ”
Lin Xueyao said: "I'm already embarrassed to eat and drink, how can I trouble my aunt again, and I won't bother to come over myself." ”
Rong Yi also got up and walked to Lin Xueyao's side, chuckled, and said, "Miss Lin, it's our honor to come and have dinner with us." ”
Rong Fei also took Lin Xueyao's hand and said, "That's it, Sister Xueyao, don't see outside, sit down." ”
Lin Xueyao glanced at Rong Cheng, who had been sitting and didn't react, compared to other people's reactions, Rong Cheng could be said to be very cold, Gu Xinran also quietly observed Rong Cheng, the moment she saw Lin Xueyao come in, she subconsciously looked at Rong Cheng, and saw that he didn't have any special reaction, so she was a little relieved.
Lin Xueyao didn't seem to see Rong Cheng's coldness at all, and said with a light smile: "Ah Cheng, can I sit here?"
Rong Cheng raised his head and supported his chin, glanced at her with a smile, and said, "What if I say I can't?"
Lin Xueyao's face changed, and everyone else was a little surprised, everyone could see who Lin Xueyao was coming for tonight, and the question just now was just a meaning, a normal man, in this case, would generally not refuse a woman's request, let alone a beautiful and elegant woman.
Only Gu Xinran heard Rong Cheng's words, and his heart was a little excited, and for some reason he still felt that he really didn't disappoint me.
However, she didn't be happy for long, and saw Rong Cheng get up and say, "Just kidding, Miss Lin, please take a seat." He also helped Lin Xueyao pull out a chair and stretched out his hand to signal Lin Xueyao to sit down.
Everyone smiled a little embarrassedly, and as soon as Lin Mei wanted to say something, she was pulled to her seat by Rong Zhentian and said, "Everyone sit down, Sister-in-law Luo, it's not too early, please come down from Dad." ”
Sister-in-law Luo nodded, turned the mountain and walked upstairs.
Gu Xinran lowered her head a little disappointed, not letting others see her somewhat unhappy face.
Lin Xueyao saw Rong Ze sitting opposite, and was a little shocked in her heart, she heard her aunt say that Rong Ze was disfigured, and she thought it was a small cut on her face, but now when she looks at it, it is clear that her entire face is ruined.
However, she has been good at concealment since she was a child, and she didn't let any unnatural expressions appear on her face, and looked at Rong Ze's eyes generously and said, "Cousin seems to be recovering well, and his spirit is good, I think it won't take long to heal, right?"
Glancing at Gu Xinran, who was sitting next to Rong Ze, and remembering the glass of watermelon juice she poured on herself on the day of the banquet, Lin Xueyao's eyes flashed with a trace of disgust, and said with a smile: "It seems that my cousin-in-law has taken good care of my cousin, so we can rest assured, my cousin-in-law has worked hard during this time." ”
At first, when she heard Lin Xueyao call her cousin-in-law, Gu Xinran couldn't react a little, until Rong Ze patted her hand and realized that Lin Xueyao was talking to herself, and immediately shook her hand and said, "No, no, it's not hard, it should be, it should be." ”
"Isn't it Sister Xue Yao, she was specially bought by her grandfather to serve her eldest brother, taking care of her eldest brother was what she should do, how can there be any hard work or not, people who work have to work hard with their boss's money, let alone buy it out once, right, second brother?" Rong Fei's unpleasant thing about Gu Xinran is almost known to the Rong family, especially on such occasions, she is holding back her strength to embarrass Gu Xinran all night.
Especially when she thought of Rong Cheng's maintenance of Gu Xinran on the day of the banquet, she was angry, and when she found an opportunity, she wanted to make Gu Xinran unhappy, and by the way, she belittled her image in Rong Cheng's heart.
