Chapter 145: The Storm Rises Again
"Ruoyu, I want to hear your explanation, tell me, why these media just refuse to let you go, how long has it been since the last incident, and why is such shameless news breaking out now!" Lee Byrne "snapped" and threw the newspaper on the ground. He believes that if there is no wind and no waves, the media will be the best at chasing the wind and shadows, so there must be wind and shadows for them to catch. If there is really nothing wrong with Chi Ruoyu and Luo Feifei, the media will not pay attention to them again and again!
Chi Ruoyu was there, silent for a long time, so anxious that Xu Junzhuo pulled the corners of her clothes behind her.
"Dad, this may be the last time I'll call you like that." Chi Ruoyu lowered her head and took a deep breath, then raised her head and looked at Li Byrne with crystal eyes, "Most of the things said in the newspaper are true......
"Don't say anything about Ruoyu." Xu Junzhuo hurriedly stopped her behind her. "Let her speak!" Lee Byrne yelled coldly.
Chi Ruoyu glanced back at Xu Junzhuo, smiled at him, signaled that he was fine, and then turned his head and continued: "Most people will have times when they are cornered, and I have too. With my father's death and my mother becoming a vegetative state again, my life suddenly fell from heaven to hell, and I had no choice but to take care of this family. The grievances between me and Mr. Luo began at this time, in fact, as long as I can maintain my mother's life, I am willing to do anything, even if I suffer and hurt more, I will not hesitate, but I will not allow others to use words to trample on my remaining self-esteem, although in the eyes of others, I am already a person with no self-esteem. It was Xu Junzhuo who rescued me from the sea of suffering, and I think he is the angel sent by God to save me. You know what happened after that, and as for this move, I swear I really didn't know that Mr. Luo and his wife lived there. If I had known beforehand, I wouldn't have chosen there. ”
The four years of unbearable life were said lightly, when will Chi Ruoyu's scars that are constantly being uncovered be good? She held her head high, like a prisoner waiting to be sentenced. Li Byrne's face was blue and he didn't say anything. Seeing this, Xu Junzhuo hurriedly took her hand and said, "Dad, in the past, Ruoyu would make mistakes involuntarily, and her nature is not like this, Dad." You ......"
"Shut up!" Li Boen yelled impatiently at Xu Junzhuo, and then looked at Chi Ruoyu, "Miss Xi, I know that you are a filial child, but the reason why it is called filthy is because no matter how glamorous it is, it can't cover its ugly nature. The Li family is also a well-known family in City A, and if something like this happens, it's hard for me to protect you. You know how terrible the power of public opinion is, and I can't bury the interests of thousands of people up and down the company because you are alone, so ...... Please leave Xu Junzhuo, leave the Li family, and leave Entai immediately. ”
"Dad, you can't be so cruel!" Xu Junzhuo roared angrily. Chi Ruoyu grabbed him, then smiled and nodded at Li Boen, "I don't need you to say that I will leave too, after all, such a thing is unacceptable to anyone, and it has caused you trouble, Ruoyu said sorry again." Chi Ruoyu bent down deeply, and a tear overflowed from her eyes, dripping onto the fluffy carpet, and quickly penetrated. When she stood up straight again, she had returned to normal, and she couldn't see sadness, she couldn't see loss,
"Tomorrow I will hand over the house keys and car keys to Xu Junzhuo, and I will slowly pay back the fees owed for studying abroad before in the future." Chi Ruoyu said softly, her voice was still so soft, but she was a little helpless at this time.
Li Boen waved his hand, "No need, the house, car, money, the Li family is not lacking, your contribution to the Li family cannot be denied, these are what you deserve, accept it with peace of mind." Okay, I'm tired, you go. Don't appear in front of me again. ”
Chi Ruoyu bowed again, and then slowly turned to leave. Xu Junzhuo hurriedly followed, and Li Byrne opened his mouth to stop his son, but in the end he still didn't call. It is naturally impossible for him to accept Chi Ruoyu's departure at once.
"Ruoyu!" Xu Junzhuo trotted to catch up with Chi Ruoyu, and then held her hand tightly to prevent her from leaving, "Don't go, don't leave me." ”
In the dark, Chi Ruoyu's face was already wet with tears, she tried her best to stabilize her voice, and she couldn't hear a trace of crying, "Xu Junzhuo, forget it." ”
"Nope! Can't be counted, can't be counted! Xu Junzhuo hugged Chi Ruoyu in a panic and held her tightly, as if he wanted to embed her into his body.
Chi Ruoyu broke away from him hard, then took off the ring representing "uniqueness" from his finger and put it in Xu Junzhuo's palm, "I'm very happy to have you these days, that's enough." Go back, forget me, good! She reached out and stroked Xu Junzhuo's face, and the green stubble came to a subtle touch in the palm of her hand.
Xu Junzhuo held her hand and said in a firm tone: "Ruoyu, let's elope, go to a place where no one knows us and no one can find us, can we start again?" ”
"Fool." Chi Ruoyu said with a smile, "You are really a child who doesn't grow up." Go back, don't go against your dad, you know? He thinks about you everywhere, and if you blame him again, you'll really be a bastard. Don't worry about me, you see, I have a house now, I have a car, I don't have to pay off my debts, and more importantly, my mother has woken up, this kind of life is very good, I am very satisfied, so, don't worry about me, to pursue the happiness that truly belongs to you, just as, I have never appeared. ”
Chi Ruoyu left, no matter how hard Xu Junzhuo begged and retained, she walked simply and resolutely, Xu Junzhuo kept running in the rearview mirror, Chi Ruoyu just couldn't see it, and then turned on the music, crying loudly in the deafening music.
When Chi Ruoyu returned home, she was already so tired that she had no strength. was pushed to the cusp of public opinion again, she really couldn't bear the blows one after another, looking at her mother who didn't know anything about things, Chi Ruoyu resisted the urge to tell, and after coaxing her to sleep, she quietly went to the top floor alone.
The wind on the roof of the building blew into the heart, making the body feel a lot more comfortable, Chi Ruoyu lay on the railing, looking at the bustling city shrouded in the night. This city has recorded too much of her, with the hard work and sweat of several part-time jobs every day; There is the apprehension and anxiety when I first entered the nightclub; There is helplessness and confusion when receiving huge medical bills; There is the pain and joy that lies under Luo Feifan; There is also the shyness and sweetness of the first encounter in love; There is also despair and resentment when hurt by love...... There are too many stories that make Chi Ruoyu love and hate this city, it has witnessed every transformation and rebirth of itself, but it has never been willing to love itself well.
There was a sudden sound of footsteps behind him, Chi Ruoyu slowly turned around, and saw Luo Feifei carrying a bottle of red wine, holding two glasses in his hands, pulling on his slippers, and slowly walking towards her.
"Let's have a drink." Luo Feifei walked up to her, put down the glass, then unscrewed the cap of the red wine bottle, and slowly poured in two glasses of scarlet liquid.
Chi Ruoyu glanced at him, picked up the wine glass and took a sip, "Why did you come up?" ”
Luo Feifei also followed her example, pouting his ass and lying on the railing, "I often come up and stand for a while and have a drink." I just saw you coming up, and an extra glass came up. ”
The two chatted with each other, not like the two protagonists who were riddled with scandals at all, but thought they were old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years. Maybe it's not that you don't mention it, but you don't dare to mention it, lest if you mention it, even this pure land will be turned into a "battlefield".
"Actually, I'd love to ask how you're doing?" Luo Feifei took a sip of red wine, and his voice was blown far away by the wind.
Chi Ruoyu was silent for a while, she was thinking about how to answer this question, "From after leaving you to seeing you again, I have lived a very happy life." "Actually, her happiness should have stopped a long time ago, right? Since she was placed under house arrest by him in the villa, when has she laughed again? Later, I followed Xu Junzhuo to France, in a foreign country, there were indeed many new mistakes to divert her attention, but she was still never happy, even if Xu Junzhuo was always by her side, it just made her feel at ease, as for happiness, it seems to be a very distant term.
Luo Feifei didn't mind Chi Ruoyu's direct answer at all, compared to the soft and weak Chi Ruoyu, Luo Feifei preferred her who was shrewd and cunning now. If you think about it, she seemed to be forced to be like that by herself at that time, right? Has the current self lost the ** of conquest, or is he afraid of losing this woman again? "Do you hate me?" If you don't hate, you won't be so eager to get rid of him, look at the nonsense he asked himself.
"Hate." She hated him for giving her hope, and crushing it with her own hands; She hated him for repeatedly persecuting and trampling on her dignity mercilessly; She hated him and never felt sorry for herself, even for a second...... She didn't want to take revenge all the time, but she couldn't do it. Before he even had time to get closer, he was about to be crushed. She had to admit that she couldn't fight him in her life, and she couldn't fight the heart that fell for him early in the morning.
"yes. As long as I am present, your life will not be peaceful. "Whether it was before or now, he always has the ability to ruin her life inadvertently, obviously not out of intention, but he can always hurt her to the core. Now he is no longer like himself, as if he has aged in advance, the former high-spirited, decisive killing, happy revenge, these chic words seem to no longer belong to him. Now he is afraid of losing, afraid of possession, afraid of a thing, he is as fragile as a frightened bird, and the slightest wind and grass can also make him worry.
