When Xi Ruiteng heard Lu Xinshuang call him, he was overjoyed. He was so happy that things had turned around and things had turned for the better, and he was even thinking of turning around.
However, in the next second, his entire body froze.
How could they break up? He wouldn't allow it.
"What are you talking about, little one?" Xi Ruiteng asked her with his back facing his.
"We... This was the end of the meeting. I wish you and Miss Su a happy, happy, and blissful life. "
Lu Xinshuang placed her hands behind him and held onto the flesh of their palms tightly, not wanting herself to retreat, not wanting herself to cry, not wanting herself to impulsively run up to hug him and say that it was all a joke.
She knew the smile on her face even if she didn't look at it. It must be really ugly, but she had to smile.
"Oh yeah, and also, call me Reporter Lu in the future, in case there's any misunderstandings. Goodbye Young Master Xi. " Lu Xinshuang once again stabbed a blade into the hearts of the two.
Young Master Xi, I am sorry, but I cannot fulfill the promise I made to you on the island that day.
"…"
Xi Ruiteng closed his eyes and slightly raised his head, his back still facing her as he said, "I know that you're very tired today. I won't take the words just now seriously."
Xi Ruiteng didn't want her to see the sorrow and helplessness on his face.
He couldn't let go of this little thing.
"Why are we lying to ourselves again, Xi Ruiteng! It's not good for me, you, or Su Ruoning, so why don't you stop! "
Lu Xinshuang almost used all of her strength to shout out, calling out his name, this was probably her first time.
Young Master Xi, hurry up and agree.
Xi Ruiteng clenched his teeth, which made a gurgling sound. Even he was unable to figure out what was going on in his mind. However, he knew that if he really let go, everything would be over.
"Little thing, you're really tired. Rest well, I'll call Xu Jing up to accompany you." After Xi Ruiteng finished speaking, he walked out in large strides and gently closed the door.
Lu Xinshuang watched as the door closed little by little, she crouched down and could not cry, her eyes staring straight at the ground, all that was left of him was his shadow.
Young Master Xi, how can you let go of my hand!
When Xu Jing went upstairs, she had already washed the bowls. She sat in the living room and watched TV, and it was even a comedy movie.
Although there was a smile on his face, his gaze couldn't be faked. She did not even notice when she entered the room earlier.
It's okay, why did she insist on it? It's not like she would let Xi Ruiteng get the headlines.
"So cool, what are you looking at?" Xu Jing smiled and sat by Lu Xinshuang's side, holding her cold hands.
He could not stop feeling sorry for her, and his thoughts were a mess.
"Watching a variety show is a joke. "Right, where's the official?" Lu Xinshuang looked at the door. There was no one inside.
"He went to sell us fruit. I don't know what he thinks, but he's almost my servant now. "
Xu Jing laughed helplessly, and started to live the life of a young noble. However, instead of picking up girls, he ended up coming to her little nest to be a free labourer.
"That's pretty good. If he treats you wholeheartedly, then believe him for once. He'll come here to take care of you for at least half a month without stopping. With your temper, it probably won't even work on a lot of guys, not to mention a playboy like him." "However, if he still wants to send his child to the orphanage, I will be the first to cripple him."
Lu Xinshuang raised her fist, showing that she was very strong.
The two of them had their own difficult chanting methods.
"Haha …" "Alright."
The two of them holed up on the sofa and joked about. Xu Jing played with Lu Xinshuang and neither of them mentioned the "little episode" earlier.
"You still have the face to come back? Why didn't you bring that woman with you to see me? Also, we can discuss your marriage."
When Papa Xi saw Xi Ruiteng walking in, his eyes slanted and his anger rose again.
In Australia, he was kicked out and returned home in a sorry state. When he returned to the country, Yuan Sheng was already famous. He didn't even have time to revive before death itself, and the mountains and rivers he had built up in his lifetime were gone. Suddenly, a distant group appeared out of nowhere, flourishing in City K. There was no need to guess, it was all because of this son. The world of Yuan Sheng was his.
"I think it's a good idea. Since dad said so, next time I'll bring her to see you." Xi Ruiteng ignored his father's anger and walked straight to the opposite side of Xi Sheng and sat down.
It was difficult to change one's nature. This was his good father.
"Bastard!" It's not a disgrace! "
Xi Sheng liked to throw things when he was angry, so he threw a tea set on the table while he was cursing.
"You're the one who's embarrassed, Dad."
Xi Ruiteng still had a carefree expression, as if nothing unpleasant had just happened.
He didn't know that he was wrong to throw his face across the ocean.
His stepmother, who was sitting quietly beside him, jumped up in fright. She patted her chest and said to Xi Sheng, "What are you doing? You scared me to death."
"What are you scared of? Do you know the current situation? With your Yuan Sheng gone, your family's business is completely ruined. Do you know?" Xi Sheng said as he knocked on the ground with his cane.
An ignorant woman was of no use at all.
Xi Ruiteng looked at his "parents" in front of him without batting an eyelid, and snorted coldly. If it wasn't for his mother's capital injection, would Yuan Sheng have their current state?
"Tell me, what should I do? If you have the ability, take it back from your son. Why should you be angry at me? It's not like I'm the one who destroyed the Yuan Sheng."
Her stepmother felt wronged. She was in a good mood with her. Without her foundation, wasn't she sad? Her sister's son was just like her, not something that could save oil.
"You ignorant woman, you still dare to talk back …"
"You have knowledge, and you can even lose your Yuan Sheng …"
"Shut up!"
"If you say shut up, then shut up. What are you being so cocky for!"
Xi Ruiteng could not bear to listen any longer. This loud and cacophony really gave one a headache, and after a whole day of not resting properly, he was completely exhausted. He interrupted, "You guys stop quarreling. I came back today to tell you all that if you do anything else, I'll really turn hostile. I promised Mother that I would take care of you and help you manage your Yuan Sheng. It was you who kept forcing me and you who touched the people around me … "
"Do you want to touch the people beside you? You asked for it. And you actually bought so many villas without telling anyone else, and did so many things to us in private. Xi Ruiteng, oh Xi Ruiteng, you sure are scheming with all your heart. "
Xi Ruiteng originally wanted to have a good talk with them and give them a proper go. He didn't expect his father to be so proud of him.
"Dad, I endured so many years for my mother's last words, and now I don't want to continue. "Dad, it's not that I didn't give you a chance, but don't blame me. If you force me any more, I'll destroy your family."
Xi Ruiteng stood up. Since the conversation could not go well, there was no need for him to continue this nonsense.
"It seems to me that you don't even know your mother. You're just like your mother, a lowly person with a nice appearance on the surface. You don't know how to plan and plan in your heart. What are you pretending to be a good person for?"
When her stepmother heard the noble words, she opened her mouth and the machine gun, Peng Peng, spoke a long paragraph.
Her elder sister was better than her in everything. She would snatch everything from her, her family's status, praise, beauty, money, and men.
Xi Ruiteng had originally planned to just leave it at that, but to say that what he said was not okay, but to say that his mother was not fine.
If this was tolerable, then so be it.
"You all … Very well, you will regret what you said tonight. My mother will not allow anyone to speak ill of her, much less allow you to insult her. "
Xi Ruiteng clenched his fists tightly, telling himself to hold back his anger. Tomorrow, to see their jokes, and the Xi Family's jokes, he had no choice but to do this.
As Xi Ruiteng walked out of the door, he heard the banging sounds coming from inside. Other than falling things, hitting people, and relying on women to get the upper hand, what else could he do?
Back at the villa, the downstairs was brightly lit. Walking in, he saw Su Ruoning sleeping on the sofa, her body curled up.
"Ruoning, Ruoning, don't sleep here, go up and rest …" Xi Ruiteng sat down and patted Su Ruoning's hands.
"Rui, you came back. Why did you leave for so long?" Su Ruoning rubbed her drowsy eyes, crawled up, and looked at Xi Ruiteng blankly as he hugged him.
"I'm very scared. Rui, in the future, take me with you. Don't abandon me …" You're the only one I know. "
As Su Ruoning spoke, her voice gradually became more and more tearful, her small body trembling in Xi Ruiteng's embrace.
She could not do without him. He was the person she trusted the most in this world.
"Ruoning, can I send you back to America? Your parents don't know about your news yet, how about …"
Xi Ruiteng wanted to make things clear, but due to Su Ruoning's reliance on her, he was honestly unable to say those words out loud. After all, three years ago, she committed suicide because of his father.
However, Su Ruoning's reaction exceeded his imagination.
"Rui, you really don't want me anymore, right? You don't love me anymore, don't you belong to Ruoning? Yes, it must be. No wonder you were gone so long. Rui, so I was unnecessary. "Haha, then why should I be alive? I've gone through so much trouble to return to China to see you. Rui, sorry to bother you, I'm going back to the United States right now …"
As Su Ruoning said this, she put on her shoes again and prepared to leave.
She finally understood what Jiang Liu said to her before she came. So, her Rui really did have someone that loved her, and there really wasn't a place for her. However, that woman was bad, and she had evil intentions in her heart.
"Ruoning, stop messing around... Alright, I won't send you off. You should stay here obediently and promise me to live well and not do anything stupid. I really had something up just now, and I didn't mean to keep you here.
Xi Ruiteng grabbed her shoulders, swaying Su Ruoning's body to wake her up and cheer her up. He was exhausted both physically and mentally, but she still had to advise her otherwise.
"Rui, I only have you, don't abandon me, I love you, we have to be together …"
Su Ruoning hugged Xi Ruiteng's neck tightly, not wanting to let go. This was her man, and no one could take it away from her.
"Ruoning, I'm very tired, I want to rest now. Let's go upstairs. Xi Ruiteng looked at the time. It was almost 12 o'clock, he really didn't have the energy to take care of those things tomorrow.
"..." Rui, I want to sleep with you, I'm afraid … " Su Ruoning spoke in a pitiful and soft voice.
"..." "Right." Xi Ruiteng replied weakly.
Looking at Su Ruoning who was in her arms, she looked extremely like a child, relying on him.
"Rui, you're so nice. I knew you wouldn't abandon me. We have to do what we did in the past …"
Su Ruoning hugged Xi Ruiteng and it was as if she had become a different person. Laughter lingered by Xi Ruiteng's ears, just like how she was three years ago.
But, what about his little thing …
