Chapter 10: Choosing the Head of the Langton Family

When Alice went to Chen's Manor to find Xiao Ruo in the afternoon because she was worried that she would speak too directly in the morning, and planned to comfort her, she was surprised to find that the quiet manor on weekdays was full of people coming and going, and she was in a hurry, which seemed a little lively.

Calling the servant who had led him to the main mansion and was about to leave, Alice asked, "Lisa, do you have any activities today?" Why is everyone busy?"

"No, ma'am. Everyone was actually packing their bags, and the show fired us all in the morning. Lisa's voice was a little sad.

"What?" Alice was shocked, grabbed Lisa's arm, and asked urgently, "What about Rachel?" Where is she?"

"Xiu entered the bedroom in the morning and didn't come out. Mrs. Langton, Xiu was in a bad mood today, and she didn't have lunch. Madame, can you persuade Xiu?"

Only nodded to Lisa, Alice walked quickly towards Xiao Ruo's bedroom, the bedroom was not locked, Alice knocked on the door a few times and pushed the door directly.

Xiao Ruo was packing up her things, and when she saw that it was Alice coming in, she glanced at her expressionlessly, and her affairs did not stop, but she just said, "I'm busy now, Alice, I don't have time to greet you."

Alice was anxious and angry, and stepped forward to dodge the things in Xiao Ruo's hand, took a deep breath, calmed down, and asked, "What are you doing?"

Xiao Ruo didn't care, sat down on the edge of the bed, and smiled at Alice: "I'm cleaning up, didn't you see it?"

"Why?" Alice's words were a little weak, and she sat next to Xiao Ruo, "You fired all the servants, are you planning to leave?"

Xiao Ruo smiled bitterly: "Yes, Alice, I want to live a peaceful life, but here, I will be in great trouble."

"You're still blaming me, rachel, I'm really sorry, but, that's not your reason to leave." If Alice had known that the morning's words would have had such an effect, she would never have said it.

"I don't blame you, Alice. I should thank you for reminding me of my lack of experience. And, you helped me protect Angus, thank you so much. Xiao Ruo said sincerely.

"No, rachel, you're good enough, you're better than most of your peers. It's just that you are still young, and if a young man makes a mistake, God will forgive. You're not going to be discouraged by that, are you?" Alice is angry and funny, Xiao Ruo usually looks like she knows everything, is it true that no one is perfect.

"I, I'm just ......" Xiao Ruo's face flushed, she was indeed a little frustrated, she actually didn't do anything, how could she be so easy to attract the attention of others, her huge plan had not yet been carried out, and reality gave her such a big blow.

Alice sighed and said, "I wanted to ask a long time ago, Rachel, why are you so unconfident in yourself?"

"Me, am I not confident in myself?" Xiao Ruo muttered a little dazedly.

"Yes, rachel, maybe you didn't notice it yourself, but you didn't trust me much, did you?"

"Am I that obvious? Besides, does it have anything to do with my self-confidence?" Xiao Ruo was stunned.

Alice patted Xiao Ruo's head funny: "You kid, I'm still the same sentence, you are still young, you can't hide your thoughts on your face, it's still easy for people of my age to see it."

"Really?" Xiao Ruo said sneeringly, unstoppably deflated in his heart.

"You've never been very trusting of the people around you, have you? I don't know what you've been through, but it may have something to do with your master. But, Rachel, why do you think they can't be trusted?" Alice felt that Xiao Ruo was a little pitiful, just like a hermit crab hiding in its shell, always looking at the world cautiously, for fear of being hurt.

"They ......" Xiao Ruo was speechless when asked, she just didn't want to repeat the mistakes of the past.

"Trust is mutual, rachel. If you don't give your trust, how can you expect the people around you to give you the same thing. ”

"I used to think so, Alice, but the truth is that trust is so fragile that it can't withstand the slightest temptation, and my trust has been betrayed again and again, and I don't know if I can give it back now." The bitterness at the corner of Xiao Ruo's mouth was so obvious, and there was also an obvious vicissitudes in his eyes.

Alice was a little speechless for a while, and the air seemed to be infected with Xiao Ruo's emotions, and for a while, the whole room fell silent.

After a long time, Xiao Ruocai came back to his senses, looked at the undisguised love in Alice's eyes, was a little moved, and a little confused: "Alice, why are you so good to me?" Although he was very unconfident in his vision, Xiao Ruo really felt that real care from Alice.

"Why? Maybe it's fate?" Seeing that the atmosphere was too low, Alice laughed.

As soon as the words fell, Alice saw Xiao Ruo's dissatisfied eyes, and hurriedly raised her hand to surrender: "Okay, I said."

After carefully considering the words, Alice spoke: "If I have no selfishness at all, you won't believe it." I am the head of the Langton family, and it is my responsibility to pass on the family and carry it forward. Rachel, you're a genius, and we in the Langton family need a talented heir like you. ”

"Of course, another thing is that you look a lot like him, you are by my side, through you, I seem to feel that he is so close to me." Alice's voice was a little deeper.

"It turns out that I am a substitute." Xiao Ruo didn't want to see such an Alice, so she muttered in a rare arrogant tone.

Alice withdrew her thoughts from the memories and glared at Xiao Ruo with disgust, Xiao Ruo now is actually much better than when she first met, she may not have noticed that she is much happier now.

"Also, I really like you." Alice pinched Xiao Ruo's nose, "Don't you know yourself, rachel." You're so beautiful, you smile like an angel, don't you feel the way Lisa looks at you? They actually like you very much, and Lisa is very worried that you didn't eat at noon. ”

"Really?" Xiao Ruo was praised by Alice at first, but then her words surprised her a little, she usually didn't pay much attention to the people below, even if she paid her salary, she didn't do anything, she looked at Alice with some suspicion.

"Why, you still suspect that I lied to you, don't believe me called Lisa in." Xiao Ruo's suspicious eyes made Alice very dissatisfied.

"Okay, okay, I believe you." If Lisa was called in and asked her if she liked herself, it would be too inferior, Xiao Ruo thought a little surprised.

Alice looked at Xiao Ruo, who was embarrassed, with some emotion, and said, "Rachel, you look like a girl of your age." The way you usually look is really worrying, you are too calm and lack the vitality that a girl of your age should have. Why are you so yourself?"

My age? Xiao Ruo suddenly realized that he was only sixteen years old now. Thinking about it again, I made up my mind a few days ago, how could I melt away when I encountered a little setback? When did you become such an ostrich? Always looks forward and backward like this, and retreats when she encounters a little thing, so what else can she do in the future?

Seeing Xiao Ruo's eyes gradually become clear and firm, Alice was very satisfied, and she deserved to be the person she fancied.

"How? Rachel, have you figured it out?"

"Well, thank you, Alice." Xiao Ruo said gratefully.

"And then, what do you decide to do? I really want you to be my heir, promise me, think about it?"

"Okay, I promise you." Xiao Ruo thought very clearly, with the huge extent of his plan, sooner or later he would be noticed by these big families, and it would be a matter of time before he came into contact. Now that she is in the shadows, it would not hurt her to touch this circle earlier.

Moreover, after making this decision, Xiao Ruo breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Actually, I've had this idea for a long time. The reason why she wants to leave, she just can't face the panic in her heart, it is undeniable that for Alice, Xiao Ruo can no longer treat her as a person who has nothing to do, so she is afraid that she will get along with her again and make the same mistake again. However, Alice is right, trust is also mutual, she can't hide in her shell for the rest of her life, so let's try it from now on.

In the absence of loved ones, she is not afraid of anyone.

"Rachel, you...... What do you just mean? You promised me to think about it?" Alice was a little overjoyed.

"I mean, I promised you to be the heir to the Langton family." Xiao Ruo said word by word. What flashed in his eyes was unprecedented firmness.

"Rachel!God, I love you to death!" Alice was almost suspicious of her auditory hallucinations, and she was incoherent. This surprise was really too big, and she thought she was going to fight a protracted battle.

"I said, I agreed!" Xiao Ruo said mischievously in Alice's ear. Then he got up and made a strange etiquette to Alice, "Rachel. Chen, I've met the head of the family!"

β€œrachel!” Alice didn't know what to say, it was the first time she had seen such a Xiao Ruo. I don't know how Xiao Ruo figured it out, but although the process was a little tortuous, wasn't this result exactly what she wanted?

"Bad girl! Also, if you really don't mind, you'll be Rachel Chan Langton in the future, the next head of my Langton family!"
