Chapter 50: I had to bow my head
"Then why did you divorce Cheng Jiaqi? I think you are from the same world. ”
He sighed and said, "Not all people in the same world can have love. ”
"People in different worlds don't necessarily have no love!" She said with some stubbornness.
He sighed, remembering that he had come here to save people, how to talk about love with her, and quickly brought the topic back to the topic, saying, "Miss Xu, if you can rescue these innocent students, I will be grateful to you." ”
"Oh? I really don't see why I want to save them, it turns out that everything I do is for you, for love. Now that you've rejected me, I can no longer find a reason to intercede on their behalf at the risk of falling out with my uncle. Xu Manlin sat on the sofa, leaning on the armrest, her two slender legs twisted together, to be honest, her every move was full of charm, if she changed to a man, it was really difficult to resist her.
Zhou Ruikang frowned, thinking about Cheng Jiawei in prison, and many classmates and scholars, he had to soften his attitude and said, "Say it, what are the conditions?" If I can do it, I'll do it for you. ”
Xu Manlin propped her chin, looked at him, and said with a smile after a while: "First, from today onwards, you are not allowed to call me Miss Xu, only call me Manlin." ”
"Yes." He hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
"Second, I want you to see my father tonight."
"This ......," he frowned.
"Third, I want you to take me home tomorrow to meet your parents."
"No way!" Ruikang refused and took her back to meet her parents, so how can you say it clearly? "Our family is traditional feudal, if I take you home, it means that I am going to marry you."
"Is it insulting to marry me? I heard that you also took Cheng Jiaqi back, why can't I go? ”
"Those are two different things, Jiaqi and Jiawei are going to my house to play, what are you going to do?"
"I can also go to your house to play......" Her stubborn eldest lady had a temper, and she had to compete with Cheng Jiaqi.
"You're just inexplicable." He was angry, he really couldn't stand the vexatious woman. "Open the door, I'm going out, I'm going back to the hunting house with my friends. If you want to save it, you can save it, if you don't want to save it, forget it! ”
"You! You're sure I'll save people, right? ”
"Whatever you want. I don't like to haggle with people. Open the door and let me out. He said impatiently, anger gathering between his brows.
People are very strange animals, the more indifferent Ruikang is, the more he refuses, the more Xu Manlin wants to catch him and make him succumb.
Zhou Ruikang couldn't open the door, turned around and walked to the balcony, twisted the glass door of the balcony, and planned to jump from the balcony.
"Ruikang, what are you doing?" Xu Manlin was startled and hurriedly rushed up to catch him. "Are you crazy?"
"You don't know me at all, so why do you love me?" He was angry and wanted to push her away, but she grabbed him and finally surrendered: "Okay, okay, I'll open the door and let you out, don't jump!" ”
Although the balcony on the second floor was not very high, but it was a variety of plants and ornamental stones, and easily injured, she was frightened, and hugged his waist, although she argued with him, and was incompatible with him, but she was hopelessly in love with him.
"Manlin! What are you doing? Downstairs, there was suddenly a middle-aged man with a pipe in his hand, frowning, looking at this scene on the balcony in surprise, followed by two subordinates.
Xu Manlin wiped away the tears that were scared out of Ruikang, smiled slightly and said, "This is my father!" Let's go, let's go down. As he spoke, he took Ruikang's hand and walked out of the study.
Ruikang was really stunned, his mind was blank, he didn't expect to meet Xu Manlin's rich father in this situation.
Xu Manlin pulled Ruikang down the stairs and came to the hall, Xu Ruhai sat in the leather sofa, held his pipe, took a puff, raised his eyebrows, and looked Ruikang up and down very sharply.
Xu Ruhai is a middle-aged man of forty-five or sixteen years old, with two high eyebrows, a pair of shrewd eyes behind the lenses, and Xu Manlin, with a high nose bridge, the whole face has a three-dimensional effect, the skin on the face is a little loose, some spots, the expression is majestic and cold, and there is smoke in his mouth.
"Dad, his name is Zhou Ruikang, and he is my boyfriend." Xu Manlin said with a smile.
Zhou Ruikang looked at her with wide eyes, when did he become her boyfriend? He immediately stroked Xu Manlin's hand away and wanted to explain, but Xu Ruhai took the lead and said, "Boyfriend? How did I not know? When was this? ”
"Ruikang and I are college classmates, and he is a top student in the Department of Literature of Peking University."
"Oh?" Xu Ruhai looked at him again, saw that his clothes were crumpled and his hair was a little messy, and asked, "Why is he disgraced?" Like you've just been in a fight with someone? ”
"He took part in a march in the morning and clashed with the military and police. Those guys didn't take it lightly. Dad, you have to let that Director Lu take care of his people. ”
"Hmm...... I also heard about the morning incident, and your uncle told me that you had a night with him yesterday, and asked him to ask Director Lu to change the order, just for him. ”
Sure enough, Xu Manlin didn't lie, she really tried her best to get the police station to revoke the order to shoot the procession. He glanced at her gratefully.
"A table of talents, good!" The corner of Xu Ruhai's mouth showed a fairly satisfied smile and said, "But let's participate in the parade less in the future." Too dangerous. Not every time Manlin can help you. ”
Zhou Ruikang was just about to open his mouth to plead, Xu Manlin pulled him, stood on tiptoe behind his ear and whispered: "If you want to save people, shut up." ”
Ruikang could only stop talking for a while, standing aside and watching their father and daughter talk. Xu Manlin walked up to her father, climbed her father's neck, pouted, and said coquettishly: "Dad, Ruikang was rescued, but what about the other students?" Those are my classmates! And Ruikang's friends, we can't die without help. ”
Xu Ruhai looked at her daughter with a smile and said, "Huh? How do you care about people? It seems that the power of love is really great. ”
"Dad, don't make fun of people, my uncle asked me to build a good reputation on campus, but I'm doing my best, what kind of prom fundraising, autograph fundraising, oh, I finally gathered popularity, he arrested everyone, didn't he let me work hard for nothing?"
"Well, that's true, but this matter is not in your uncle's hands, he can't overstep his responsibilities!"
"The guy surnamed Lu didn't take less money from our family, can't he do this? What is the use of raising him? ”
Xu Ruhai squinted at Zhou Ruikang and said, "You are really powerful, you can coax my daughter to intercede for so many people." ”
Zhou Ruikang frowned, and he didn't know what to say, but he faintly felt that he and Xu Manlin really jumped into the Yellow River and couldn't wash it away.
Xu Ruhai took off his pipe, patted his thigh, and said, "Okay, I'll call Enhai and Lao Lu." As he spoke, he stood up and walked towards the study, walked a few steps and turned around and came back to look at Ruikang and said, "Let him take a shower, change his clothes, and have dinner together tonight." ”
"No, Mr. Xu, I want to go back to school to see how it goes." Ruikang said that he wanted to leave the uncomfortable place of Xu's house as soon as possible.
"Huh? You mean I don't have to make a phone call? Xu Ruhai pursed his lips, raised his eyebrows, and had deep forehead lines on his forehead, revealing his scheming side.
"This ......" Ruikang lowered his head and said, "Mr. Xu, I didn't mean that, I was worried that so many classmates would be arrested today, and there would inevitably be many parents in the school to ask, I wanted to go back and appease me first." If Mr. Xu can help, I am very grateful. ”
"I don't understand, so would you like to stay and eat? Still unwilling? Xu Ruhai asked lightly, although his tone was very calm and slow, but everyone knew that he was not asking Ruikang if he wanted to eat, but asking Ruikang, "Are you giving me face?" Or don't give? ”。
When Xu Manlin heard her father's words, her heart sank, afraid that Ruikang would insist on going back to school and give up all her efforts, so she was busy coming up to play a round, Xu Ruhai raised her hand and signaled her daughter not to intervene, Xu Manlin knew her father's temper, so she had to hint with her eyes that Ruikang agreed.
At this time, standing in front of Xu Ruhai's father and daughter, Zhou Ruikang understood that many things in this world could not be completed by just one passion, and he also heard the meaning of Xu Ruhai's words, he was not stupid, but he lacked social experience without worldly affairs. For the first time in his life, he compromised. He nodded against his will and said, "Of course, I am willing, it is my honor to have dinner with Mr. Xu." ”
Xu Ruhai nodded, asked Xu Manlin to take him to take a shower and change clothes, and turned around and walked into the study by himself.
//
When he returned to the dormitory in the evening, as soon as he entered the door, Zhou Ruikang surprised everyone, with a combed oily head, a straight suit, a white shirt, a bow tie, shiny leather shoes, and a neatly folded triangular handkerchief in the pocket of the suit. looked at Xu Ziyan, Zhu Yafen and Cheng Jiaqi stupidly.
"You...... This is...... Just got out of prison? Zhu Yafen looked at him blankly, as if he had seen a big monster, and asked word by word.
"No, I'll be out of prison in the afternoon."
"Hey, you're such an amazing person, and you're in prison like no other." Zhu Yafen shook his head in surprise and said, "It's the first time I've seen someone sitting in prison so glamorous. ”
Xu Ziyan stepped forward and said, "What's the matter?" Is it Xu Manlin? ”
"Yes. She was the one who got me out. He said calmly, regardless of the presence of the two ladies, and suddenly took off his suit and threw it on the chair beside him, as if he was disgusted with the suit, and said while bending down and taking off his shoes, "I think the others will come out in two days." Do not worry. As long as the school sends someone to do the bail procedures, it will be fine. With that, he turned and climbed into the top bunk, and lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling in a daze.
Cheng Jiaqi looked at him in a trance, and felt very bored, thinking that his relationship with Xu Manlin was so close, and his heart was even more uncomfortable, so he got up to say goodbye to Xu Ziyan, and left in a hurry, Zhu Yafen hurriedly chased after him.
The two walked out of the boys' dormitory and walked around the campus, Zhu Yafen took her hand and said, "You still can't let him go?" ”
A sour smile rose at the corner of Jiaqi's mouth and she sighed.
"Jiaqi, you should have a boyfriend, you have so many suitors, and there are many good conditions, like that Gu Jie, Luo Youwei, and Zhang Zhiyuan, aren't they all talents? Although they are not as dazzling as Zhou Ruikang, they are all young talents. Gu Jie asked you to watch a movie last week, why didn't you go? ”
"I don't know."
"Hey, you're trying to kill yourself? Ruikang is really killing people this week, there used to be a Mei Ruoli, then it's you, and now it's Xu Manlin. ”
"Maybe Xu Manlin is his beloved, maybe he will get married soon...... Maybe ......"
"Jiaqi!" Zhu Yafen interrupted her and said worriedly: "Look at you, a heart is all over him. No, if you go on like this, you're going crazy. I'll make an appointment with Gu Jie for you. ”
"Don't! I won't go if you make an appointment. ”
"Ahem, how cheerful and active you used to be, now it's like a pool of stagnant water, and every day you go home from class and the library."
Jiaqi smiled slightly, took Zhu Yafen's hand, and said, "Okay, okay, bride, don't worry about me, or you have a good vision, Xu Ziyan is a good man, gentle and elegant, honest and reliable, smart and meticulous." ”
Zhu Yafen lowered her head and smiled shyly and happily, Jiaqi deliberately stared at her with wide eyes, and joked: "Oh, you look better when you are shy, you don't have to wipe rouge when you get married." ”
"Oops, Jiaqi, you're so bad!" Zhu Yafen covered her face and ran away, Jiaqi laughed for a while, looked at the crescent moon in the sky, and felt lonely, the moment Ruikang walked into the dormitory, he didn't seem to notice her existence, he looked very troubled, what was he worried about? Ahem, do you need to talk about it? must be bothering Xu Manlin. She can't deceive herself anymore, Ruikang is in love, Ruikang and Xu Manlin are in love, his heart is never in her body, but she doesn't understand why Xu Manlin? Is Xu Manlin better than herself? She was really unwilling to lose and didn't understand.
