Chapter 236 It Was Shangke's Turn to Be Abused

Everyone worked together to make soup, stir-fry vegetables, cut vegetables, make salads and make salads.

After a while, everyone prepared a table full of delicious food.

Putting the two tables together, everyone moved their chairs and sat down to eat together.

More people eat better.

Gu Xixi's family was the largest and most lively of all.

There were at most five other families, but there were seven people on gu Xixi's side, and they were all adults without children.

That's why the whole family was especially in the limelight.

Jian Xiao served Gu Xixi a bowl of soup and told Gu Xixi to drink it first, "It's good for your stomach to eat with soup first."

Mu Ruona pouted and said, "Auntie loves Xixi so much. I'm so envious."

Jian Xiao also served a bowl for Mu Ruona, "You too. Have some soup first. Eat less."

Poof... Everyone laughed.

Mu Ruona continued to act coquettishly, "Auntie, this is because she dislikes me for being fat! She's just fat in one place, okay?"

Mo Zixuan was out of breath with a smile, "There's always a feeling of unease when you see ruona acting like a spoiled child."

Gu Xixi nodded, "Same feeling."

Mu Ruona glared at them, "Hmph, it's jealousy."

Jian Xiao also served Mo Zixuan a bowl of soup, "Girls are so thin. It will be hard to have children in the future. Drink more soup to make up for it."

Mo Zixuan blushed, "Thank you, auntie."

Jian Xiao also scooped a bowl of soup for Mellon. When she scooped soup for the two assistants, they said they had to do everything themselves.

Mu Ruona stared at Jian Xiao and said, "Auntie, you made Xixi drink soup to warm his stomach, you made me drink soup to eat less and lose weight, and you made Zixuan drink soup to make up for more meat. Then why did he drink soup?"

Seeing Mu Ruona's narrow gaze, Jian Xiao's ears turned red. He couldn't help peeking at Mellon, "You child, just let you drink. Ask so many questions."

"Puff, puff, puff..." The people on the table all laughed.

The atmosphere was so good that there was nothing to say.

Gu Xixi happily drank the soup that Jian Xiao had given her. It felt good to have a mother who cared about her.

As soon as he put down the bowl, Gu Xixi looked up and saw shang ke standing at the entrance of the dining room, staring at Mu Ruona's figure with an infatuated look in his eyes.

Gu Xixi nudged Mu Ruona and motioned her to look towards the door.

Mu Ruona looked up and shook his head gently, "There's nothing more to say between me and him. The moment he chose Rann Xiwei, he should have known that I was destined not to be by his side."

"Ruona, you don't have to do this for me." Gu Xixi looked at Mu Ruona uneasily. "I know you like him."

"It's not about liking or not, it's about respect or not." Mu Ruona said softly, "The moment he took me away for Rann Xiwei and tied me up in the junk room, we were destined not to be people of the same time and space. I'm not just for you, I'm for myself. I'm not a child, I know what I want. Shang Ke is so well protected at home. He always thinks he's right and never listens to what others say. So, we're not suitable."

Mo Zixuan glanced at Shang Ke and said to her, "You see it clearly."

"Otherwise." Mu Ruona laughed at himself and said, "I have to be extra two to find a man who doesn't know his beauty as a husband?"

Gu Xixi was stunned.

Yeah, how stupid should I be to be with Yin Sichen?

Knowing that Yin Sichen and Rann Xiwei were inextricably linked, knowing that Yin Sichen would not hurt his mother for himself, knowing that no matter how hard he tried, it was all in vain.

Since he knew all this, what else could he hope for?

Forget it, I don't want this anymore.

The more I think about it, the more headache I get.

However, Gu Xixi could not bear to see shangke standing at the door all the time. He was so pitiful.

Even though Shang Ke had been bad-mouthing himself, it was almost time to criticize him.

But seeing the way he kept staring at Mu Ruona, he felt that he was not bad enough.

It's a contradiction.

Mu Ruona knew that Shang Ke was standing at the door and the family couldn't eat well, so Mu Ruona quickly took a few mouthfuls of rice and said, "I'm full. I'm going back first!"

Mu Ruona reached out and patted the two assistants on the shoulders, "Keep an eye on Xixi."

The assistants nodded repeatedly.

Mu Ruona turned around and left.

Sure enough, as soon as Mu Ruona left, Shang Ke quickly followed him.

"Shangke is going to suffer." Mo Zixuan said with a smile, "You deserve it! Who made him so indiscriminate! You should make him suffer!"

Gu Xixi shook her head and said, "I don't care about Shang Ke, but I do care about ruona! After torturing Shang Ke, ruona's heart would not be good either."

Mo Zixuan nodded, "That's true."

At this time, Mellon, who rarely spoke, said, "Love is what you and I want, and it is difficult to go on with too many impurities. Unless both of them are determined to know the impurities together, these impurities will sooner or later affect the feelings of two people, and even the trust of each other."

Gu Xixi nodded. Yes, there was too much impurity in love, how could he still have the courage to persevere?

As soon as Mu Ruona walked to the corridor, Shang Ke stopped him without any accident.

Mu Ruona instantly distanced himself from Shang Ke.

Shang Ke endured it for a long time, and he didn't want to endure it anymore. He took a step forward, imprisoned Mu Ruona in his arms, and lowered his head to kiss Mu Ruona.

Without any hesitation, Mu Ruona raised his head and threw it at Shang Ke's face.

Pa... The slap was loud.

"Mu Ruona, I will get you!" Shang Ke said, glaring at Mu Ruona.

"Really? Then how are you going to tell your teacher that you want his daughter?" Mu Ruona looked at Shang Ke indifferently and said, his eyes filled with sarcasm and coldness.

"Ruona, you know my heart for you..." Shang Ke looked at Mu Ruona in pain, "Why did you hurt me like this? I don't believe you don't feel anything for me."

"Shang Ke, I've made it very clear to you. Rann Xiwei and I, you can only choose one." Mu Ruona still looked at Shang Ke coldly and said, "You can't have both fish and bear paws. With her without me, with me without her. Speaking of Rann Xiwei, why isn't she bothering you today? Why isn't she around you? Where did you hide her?"

"What nonsense are you talking about, ruona? Where do I hide? I'm looking for her too. But when I call her, no one answers." Shang Ke said excitedly, "Didn't I make it clear? She's just my friend. She grew up together, so I treated her like a sister! The person I love has always been you!"

"Enough. I've seen enough of brother and sister's drama." Mu Ruona sneered, "Of all the clients I've met, which one of those old men doesn't call me sister? However, you know better than anyone how many old men have bad intentions for me! Shang Ke, don't deceive yourself. The person you like in your heart is Rann Xiwei, right? Otherwise, why would you risk your life to protect her? Just as you have to protect Rann Xiwei with all your might, I have to protect Gu Xixi with all my might."

"I have no problem with you guarding Rann Xiwei. I still have no problem with you going against me! But please don't appear in front of me again and say such strange things to me. I don't want to hear it, and I won't listen." Mu Ruona's eyes grew colder and colder, "For the sake of you being a student of dad, for the sake of you taking care of me for so many years, and for the sake of the Odyssey Company paying me so much, I can tell you one more thing: Shang Ke, I hate men who can't be picked up, and you're a man who can't be picked up!"

Mu Ruona's words pierced into Shang Ke's heart like a knife.

"Since you have to force me to speak clearly, I'll tell you everything today. I really hate men who can't get along with their old girlfriends. Yin Sichen is one, and you are one. So, I'll see every man around Xixi." Mu Ruona said very seriously, "I hope my friends and I can stay away from scum."

"Why did you help Gu Xixi so much? Did Gu Xixi say something to you? Did Gu Xixi keep badmouthing me, that's why you..." Shang Ke pleaded anxiously, the hatred that could not be hidden in his eyes.

"You're wrong!" Mu Ruona interrupted Shang Ke.

Xixi never said anything bad about you. No, Xixi never said anything bad about anyone. Because she wasn't that low. Even if she was not from a wealthy family, she still had some upbringing. I'm afraid Rann Xiwei, not Xixi, is the one who's been gossiping behind this? Mu Ruona continued, "Why did I help Xixi? That's a good question. Where were you when I was being chased by people on the street? Gu Xixi saved me! She dragged her pregnant body to save me! Where were you when I was depressed and lost? Gu Xixi was guiding me! To make me happy, she stuck out her stomach and accompanied me on a cruise."

"Where were you when I was in pain? Gu Xixi was with me! She pretended to be mindless and heartless to make me happy, and joined me in a seemingly boring competition! Shang Ke, do you want to ask why? I can answer you tens of thousands of questions, and not the same! To put it bluntly, Shang Ke, you are too selfish! You only love yourself! And Xixi is not, she will do everything she can for the people she cares about. Her mother, her friends, her children, she will do everything she can to protect them. What about you? Can you do it? No, you will only protect Rann Xiwei with all your life. That's the difference!"

Mu Ruona finished in one breath without even taking a breath.

Shang Ke was indeed unable to refute a single word that Mu Ruona had said.

"Shang Ke, don't lie to yourself. Since you have chosen to protect Rann Xiwei, it means that you have given up on me. You really don't have to act in front of me anymore." Mu Ruona said, "It's impossible between us."
