Chapter 172: My Miss Lin
Xiao Luo took a deep breath to calm his mood as much as possible, "Mr. Rouse is serious, it is my honor to be invited to participate in the grand event of the Rouse family. β
The voice was too calm, it sounded more sarcastic, and Mr. Rouse looked at her with a smile, and the casual posture of leaning on the sofa created a greater sense of oppression.
"Yes, a very good man." Mr. Rouse changed his sitting position, "both from the mall and on a family level, he is a man to be trusted." β
Xiao Luo glanced sideways slightly, and replied to the point: "Is this the reason why Mr. Rouse extended a helping hand to the Yi family?" β
Mr. Rouse was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect her to be so straightforward, "You are indeed a very interesting person. β
On the surface, it looks gentle and harmless, but when it really starts, it will erect spikes, and the person who hits it will be caught off guard.
"Can I take that as a compliment?" Xiao Luo's nervous mood gradually calmed down, and at least he could think clearly about coping strategies, instead of blindly avoiding them.
Mr. Rouse chuckled, "It's a little early to compliment, and I invite you here today just to show you the world of merchants." β
Xiao Luo's eyes showed a trace of doubt, and he interpreted his mood well with his expression.
"As you can see, the most important thing in the world of businessmen is profit, and in order to obtain the greatest profit, they can abandon the so-called justice and principles in their hearts, and use their marital relatives to turn a blind eye to the plight of others."
The corners of Mr. Law's mouth always maintained a mysterious smile, like a poisonous thorn, piercing the heart with unmistakable precision, not fatal, but always alerting people to the existence of danger.
"What you're talking about doesn't just exist in the world of merchants." Xiao Luo took his words very calmly, "Everyone has both good and evil sides in their hearts, and this trait will not change because he will engage in a certain profession in the future, to put it mildly, what you see may only be the tip of the iceberg of the world." β
Mr. Rouse sat upright and stared at her with amusement, "You remind me of an old man I once met in China, who is the strongest and most admirable woman I have ever met. β
Twenty years ago, shortly after he took over the Rouse family, he personally went to China to negotiate in order to expand his business, and unfortunately, the partner's family happened to encounter a very bad thing - the partner's only son hit a young man in a drunk driver, and the man's wife ran back and forth all day to get justice.
He had seen the woman at the door of the company, a very young and beautiful woman, tall and thin, with thick eyebrows and big eyes typical of Chinese beauties, even if she suffered such a heavy blow, she still spoke with reason, not at all the image of a shrew in her impression.
But when the partner impatiently offered to use money for a private chat, she suddenly became frantic like an angry lion, standing tall in front of a group of men in suits and leather shoes, and fearlessly accused the partner of his crimes.
He couldn't understand Chinese, and the interpreter explained the cause of the incident in the most concise language, which he had never heard of, and he was shocked and interested in the woman at the door of the company.
In fact, he subconsciously also thought that the translator's evaluation was very correct, human life was gone, and accepting a huge amount of compensation was the best choice, she was still so young and beautiful, and she should not pay for the rest of her life for this kind of thing.
On that day, he was sent away by his partner under a far-fetched excuse, and he didn't see the end of the story with his own eyes, and he hurried back to country M after talking about cooperation, and later he overheard the news that his partner's only son was sent to prison.
It was shocking, it was the first thing he had witnessed in decades that power and money had not resolved. Later, every time he encountered something that could not be settled, he would think of that woman and the eyes that saw through the world.
At the moment of speaking, he found the shadow of the woman in Xiao Luo's eyes, stubborn and stubborn, with a hint of cowardice that belonged to a woman.
"Is Mr. Rouse going to talk to me about the past?" A faint smile appeared on the corner of Xiao Luo's mouth, and he seized the initiative, "If so, I may need to say sorry, my fiancΓ© won't be able to find me, I'll be in a hurry." β
Mr. Rouse raised his eyes, a sharp light flashed in his eyes, "No, I'm going to give you a reasonable advice, stay away from Yi Zeran, he is not suitable for you." β
Xiao Luo's hand hanging by his side fell lightly on his knees, and his white little face did not have any waves, "To tell you the truth, you are not the first person to say this to me. β
"Heh~" A contemptuous smile flashed on Mr. Law's face, "Yi Zeran is a very good person, relatively, the person who is with him must also be good enough, whether it is ability or family background, it must be enough to stand on the same level as him, obviously, you don't have this condition." β
Mr. Rouse leaned forward and put on a very friendly posture, "If you are with him, you will become the target of public criticism, and if you are not capable enough to deal with it, then you will always suffer criticism and ridicule...... Once or twice, there will always be one time to break you. β
"Mr. Laws." Xiao Luo's voice was cold, and there was a determined light in his eyes, "It is up to Yi Zeran to judge whether it is suitable or not, as for the rest, from the moment I decided to be with him, I was ready to bear everything." β
She stood up, her eyebrows lowered, and quietly looked at the disdainful smile on the old man's face, "You can laugh at me for being naΓ―ve, but if I don't work hard, who knows if it's okay?" β
Mr. Rouse laughed, tapping his index finger on the black cane, and stood up suddenly, "I like your words very much, it's a good thing for young people to be motivated, I hope I can see you talking to me in such a tone in a while." β
Xiao Luo pulled the corners of his mouth stiffly, his lips moved, and before he could speak, a noisy voice suddenly came from outside the door.
Yi Zeran pushed away the man who was blocking in front of him, raised his hand to push open the closed door, and when he saw the woman's familiar back, the man's eyes flashed, and his big hand accurately grabbed her wrist and brought the person to his side.
The black eyes quickly roamed Xiao Luo's body, and after making sure that there was no damage to the person, he raised his head and calmly looked at Mr. Law, "I'm sorry, my fiancΓ©e is a bit of a road idiot, I'm worried that she is scared, so I'm a little anxious." β
Mr. Rouse took a step forward with his crutches and looked at the two of them with a smile, "Your worries seem to be a little unnecessary, Miss Lin is very powerful, and her courage and eloquence are very good. β
"Mr. Rolls has won the prize." Yi Zeran's fingers slid down and wrapped her little hand in his palm, "She's just a paper tiger, and everything is thanks to Mr. Law's mercy." β
He looked down at the time calmly, and a look of regret appeared on his face, "The party has been going on for most of the time, if it's convenient, I'll bring my fiancΓ©e over for dinner first." β
"It's me who didn't think it through." Mr. Rouse glanced at the woman guarding the door, "Take Mr. Yi and Miss Lin back to dinner." β
Out of the room, the door closed, Yi Zeran stopped abruptly, lowered his head and kissed her lips when Xiao Luo looked up suspiciously to ask, there was no superfluous movement, just two lips fitting, and the warm air flow was surging back and forth between the two of them, so hot that people couldn't help but close their eyes.
The woman who led the way left quite colorfully, probably going back to report the situation to Mr. Law, Yi Zeran breathed a sigh of relief, and hugged Xiao Luo tightly in his arms with his backhand, and the breath held in his chest was finally released.
He leaned over her side and whispered sorry, the rest of the words running through his throat several times without speaking.
Those men flocked to the place as if they were instructed by someone, they were all figures with heads and faces, he was not easy to refuse, so he had to be patient and greet people, and when the people around him finally dispersed, he found that the woman who was sitting quietly in the seat was gone, and his heart that was paralyzed by alcohol suddenly sank, and he immediately pushed away the man in front of him and looked around for Xiao Luo's figure.
The party was very lively, there were glamorous women chatting together, he walked around the whole venue in a daze, and his confused thinking gradually returned to his place, and when he went to the hotel rest area, he met Jiang Yuxiao and learned Xiao Luo's whereabouts from her.
Hearing the words of Mr. Rouse, his tense nerves could not withstand the final blow, and they were completely broken, and the woman who seemed to be strong, but was actually so fragile that she was afraid of Yi Zhenghao when she faced Yi Zhenghao, not to mention that the person was Mr. Rouse, who was deeper in the city.
Luckily, she was stronger than he had imagined.
"No need to say I'm sorry." Xiao Luo's arm wrapped around his shoulder, and his voice was gentle and firm, "At the beginning, I also hoped that you would come down like a god and rescue me from an embarrassing and desperate situation, but then I was not afraid, some things were destined to be borne by myself. β
"Mr. Rouse has gone to great lengths to invite me here, but he wants to defeat me in the simplest and most brutal way, I believe that you are capable enough to solve all difficulties, but you cannot change the prejudice against me from the bottom of those people's hearts, and the only way to eliminate all prejudice is to let me prove by practical actions that as your woman, I am capable and ready."
The hand on her waist was loose and tight, and in her ears was the sound of Yi Zeran's frantic heartbeat, she tilted her head slightly, and the man stabilized her lips accurately again, this time it was no longer a shallow taste, the soft tongues were clinging to each other, like two vines without support, entangled and growing with each other, and the hot breath became the most effective catalyst, so hot that the two of them almost lost their minds.
After a long time, Yi Zeran let go of her, his forehead against her forehead, his breathing was disordered, and the heat was sprayed on her face, "I understand what you said, but I still feel distressed." β
- I love your weakness and your strength, but seeing your strength, I feel extremely distressed.
"If you feel distressed, just stay with me." Xiao Luo lowered his palm and clasped his fingers, "I want to tell everyone that Yi Zeran is my man." β
A gentle smile appeared on the corner of Yi Zeran's lips, and the water rippled in his eyes, almost sucking the soul of a person into it, "Okay, my Miss Lin." β
