Rebirth: Start to Save the Treasure Girl
Chapter 486 The Only Two Good People
The blond-haired youth chattered on and on, lost in his own world.
Lin Ruoxi looked at Xue Rui with a questioning gaze, as if asking, "Who is he?"
Xue Rui shrugged, indicating that he didn't know either.
After listening for a while, Lin Ruoxi looked at the Range Rover again. She realized that the car Gu Muxue gave her was indeed better than her own, but it was a little smaller and couldn't carry too many sweet potatoes.
The young man looked in the direction Lin Ruoxi was looking, clicked his tongue, and said, "Porsche has supercar pedigree, and this one is fully equipped, with genuine leather heated seats in the back..."
Lin Ruoxi frowned upon hearing this. There was no one sitting in the back seat when she drove. Lin Ruoxi felt that she had wasted her money again.
"Hmm, you know so much. Are you a car salesman?" Lin Ruoxi asked curiously.
Xue Rui suppressed a laugh; the little girl had no idea that the other person was showing off.
The young man rubbed his nose, looking somewhat embarrassed.
What's going on? Shouldn't we assume this is the car I'm driving?
"What sales? Dude, I just parked here this morning."
The young man shouted loudly, as if afraid that those around him wouldn't hear him.
In fact, Yu Minlan guarded against him like a thief. The car was covered with a sunshade at his house, and she even marked it, saying that if he dared to open it, she would break his legs.
Only now that Yu Minlan isn't around does he dare to lean against the car so openly.
Lin Ruoxi nodded and smiled at the young man: "Thank you."
Lin Ruoxi understood; this person was there to deliver her car.
However, the young man was completely confused; he didn't understand why Lin Ruoxi was thanking him.
"Dude, you're leaving. Don't be envious. If you work hard, you'll have it too."
The young man waved his hand and wiped his fingerprints off the car with his sleeve.
It wasn't that he didn't want to continue playing, but he noticed that his cousin had come back from the bathroom.
Xue Rui made way for the blond-haired youth and stood aside watching with a smile.
The young man looked embarrassed, wondering what was wrong with this person.
He couldn't drive the car away, so he took out his phone and pretended to make a call to buy time.
"If you're not leaving, then I'm leaving."
Xue Rui waved the car key, and the moment he pressed it, the car sounded an unlocking tone.
In an instant, the young man's face turned visibly red, and he wished he could disappear into a crack in the ground.
So he just spent ages explaining things to the car owner?
This is so embarrassing, especially in front of such a beautiful woman.
He avoided Xue Rui's gaze and subconsciously looked at the pretty girl beside him. He felt that Lin Ruoxi must be laughing at him in her heart at this moment.
The next moment, Lin Ruoxi lifted her long legs and followed Xue Rui toward the Porsche.
The blond-haired youth's eyes were glazed over.
Beautiful women and luxury cars make me feel like an extra.
This sense of frustration made him feel very uncomfortable.
His mind raced, recalling that Lin Ruoxi seemed to have been looking more at the Range Rover.
My cousin has the right to use that car, so I can always borrow it to refurbish it.
So he raised an eyebrow at Lin Ruoxi: "Beautiful lady, come with me..."
Before he could finish speaking, the rapid sound of high heels came from behind him, accompanied by his cousin's furious voice:
"You bastard, who are you winking at?"
The blond-haired youth felt a jolt in his heart as he received a solid blow to the back of the head.
"Sis, what are you doing? Give me some face in public!"
The young man shouted defiantly, "Today's humiliation is simply overwhelming!"
First, he showed off in front of someone else's car, then he got a good beating from his wife in public...
"Look at what you're wearing! You think you have any self-respect?" Yu Minlan grabbed the young man's blond hair and smiled obsequiously at Xue Rui.
"Mr. Xue, I'm sorry, it was my younger brother who was being unreasonable."
Yu Minlan gritted her teeth and viciously pinched the young man's face: "Apologize now."
The young man didn't understand the situation and thought Yu Minlan was being stingy: "You're being too stingy. What's wrong with letting me drive it for a couple of days? Don't you post on your WeChat Moments every day?"
Yu Minlan was so angry that her hands were trembling. She had already blocked her boss from posting on WeChat Moments, but now you've exposed it all with just one sentence?
Thinking of this, Yu Minlan used more force in her hand and pointed in Lin Ruoxi's direction: "Show them again, that Land Rover belongs to them."
"Holy crap! Why didn't you say so sooner?"
The blond-haired youth felt utterly ashamed; he had fallen into the same pit twice.
"Apologize!"
"No, that's your boss. If you want to apologize, then apologize."
"Why did you raise your eyebrows just now? I'll slap your face."
"Tiger mom, have you gone mad?"
The two started shoving each other in the parking lot.
Yu Minlan lowered her voice: "I'm protecting you. You have no idea how terrifying he is."
Upon hearing this, the young man glanced nervously at Xue Rui. Someone who could own several luxury cars at such a young age was definitely not an ordinary person. So he leaned closer to hear what was going on.
"Snapped!"
A crisp slap sounded.
……
Xue Rui leaned against the car door, his expression a mixture of amusement and exasperation.
He grabbed Lin Ruoxi's hand, preventing the little girl from going over to mediate the fight.
"Rui, he... he's so pitiful," Lin Ruoxi pleaded softly.
“Can a man not beat a woman? He’ll fight back if he gets hurt. This is their family matter, we shouldn’t interfere.” Xue Rui winked at Lin Ruoxi.
Lin Ruoxi stared blankly, thinking that Xue Rui was right, she shouldn't meddle in other people's business.
Before long, the situation reversed.
"You tigress, you've gone too far!" the young man roared, shoving Yu Minlan to the ground.
"Do you think I'm still the same kid I was? Do you accept that?"
Young people in the underworld value face, and Yu Minlan's reckless behavior really angered her cousin.
……
Xue Rui's eyes lit up; this was even more interesting.
Lin Ruoxi subconsciously moved her body, but Xue Rui pulled her back.
"Sister Yu got beaten up," Lin Ruoxi said weakly.
Xue Rui said seriously, "We didn't go up to stop the fight when her brother was being beaten. If we try to stop it now, it would be considered taking sides."
"Rui is right." Lin Ruoxi smiled sweetly and continued watching the show with Xue Rui.
Yu Minlan's face turned ugly. She turned her gaze to Xue Rui, only to see Xue Rui's smiling face.
ah~
As expected, Xue Rui is a cold-blooded and ruthless person; he only favors the girl he likes.
So Yu Minlan turned her attention to Lin Ruoxi.
Lin Ruoxi's eyes kept darting around, and finally she turned away, pretending not to see anything.
A few minutes later, the hotel security guards heard the commotion in the parking lot and rushed out to break up the fight.
"How dare you hit a woman?" the security guard said with a dark face.
Xue Rui shouted from a distance, "Uncle, they're a family, the siblings are arguing and fighting."
The security guard shook his head speechlessly upon hearing this, then turned and went back to work.
“Apologize to them, and I won’t tell your dad about this today,” Yu Minlan threatened.
Upon hearing his father's name, the young man visibly tensed up. He lowered his head and walked up to Xue Rui and Lin Ruoxi, saying in a low voice:
"I'm sorry, I was just helping my sister move her car today."
"You like this car? If you work hard, you'll have one too," Xue Rui said, patting the young man on the shoulder. The more the young man listened, the more familiar these words sounded. Wasn't this something he had said to Xue Rui before?
He gritted his teeth, feeling that every second was incredibly long.
"I'm asking you to move your car during the Chinese New Year. Use the money to buy some cigarettes. Your sister and I have work to discuss."
Xue Rui casually took out a red envelope from his pocket and stuffed it into the young man's hand.
Looking at the red envelope in his hand, the young man felt a surge of goodwill towards Xue Rui.
Thinking about it carefully, Xue Rui had just spoken up for him.
Is this the aura of a big shot?
Always remain calm and composed in the face of adversity.
"No wonder he can be a boss. You ask me to move my car and he doesn't give me any benefit at all."
When the young man passed by Yu Minlan, he made a sarcastic remark.
Yu Minlan's lips twitched. She really wanted to tell her cousin: You're still young and don't know how ruthless the boss is. The bad guys are always the ones working under him. The boss can turn someone against him with just a little bit of profit.
But when she walked up to Xue Rui, she forced a smile as usual: "Boss, is there anything else?"
At this moment, Lin Ruoxi had already been put into the car by Xue Rui and was getting familiar with her brand-new ride.
"Xiao Yu, why isn't Mu Xue using this newly bought one?" Xue Rui asked curiously.
Yu Minlan's expression held a hint of reminiscence.
She had asked Gu Muxue the same question when she received the car.
"Miss Gu said she's used to it and doesn't want to change it."
Yu Minlan murmured.
She felt that things weren't so simple, and Gu Muxue would occasionally sit in the passenger seat.
Xue Rui rubbed his chin, vaguely sensing that Yu Minlan had her own thoughts: "Xiao Yu, tell me what you think."
Yu Minlan held her forehead and pondered for a long time: "I feel that Miss Gu has a special affection for this car. She will occasionally sit in the passenger seat and ask you what you usually do in this seat."
"Go ahead, have a good New Year's celebration these next few days." Xue Rui smiled and nodded, then opened the car door and got in.
The girl is sentimental and will preserve things that have sentimental value very well.
The same applies to that car.
Of course, it wasn't just him, but also Lin Ruoxi, who was beside him.
Lin Ruoxi quickly familiarized herself with the car, then reached over Xue Rui to fasten his seatbelt, and whispered, "Please don't tell anyone it's my birthday today, okay?"
"Why?" Xue Rui asked, somewhat surprised.
"I only want to celebrate my birthday with you. It would be a burden for Grandpa and Grandma if they knew."
Lin Ruoxi kissed Xue Rui on the cheek as she spoke:
"Don't spend so much money in the future. It's fine for us to celebrate birthdays at home. We can just buy a small cake and have a meal together..."
"it is good."
Xue Rui patted Lin Ruoxi's head.
The little girl is so well-behaved that it breaks your heart. What girl doesn't want to receive birthday wishes?
But the little girl always thinks of others.
"Xixi, when school started, you secretly took care of Muxue for a month. What did you two do on weekdays?"
The car-changing incident made Xue Rui even more curious about the past between the two girls.
"It's nothing. I accompany her to class every day, cook for her, and feed her medicine..."
Xue Rui said with a smile, "You've gone to be a maid."
"But I feel so sorry for her," Lin Ruoxi sighed softly.
Fortunately, Gu Muxue eventually forgave her and Xue Rui.
“Me too,” Xue Rui comforted her.
It was his selfishness that caused Gu Muxue to suffer enormous psychological trauma.
Lin Ruoxi started the car and looked at Xue Rui with eyes full of heartache:
"Don't blame yourself, I'll share the burden with you."
"I want to atone for my sins and make you all happy," Xue Rui chuckled.
Since the mistake has already occurred, there's no need to correct it.
Just like a bug that works fine, it's best not to touch it, lest it cause an even bigger bug.
Lin Ruoxi's lips moved slightly. There was actually a hidden agenda in her words. Just like children playing a game, she and Xue Rui were "on the same side," and she wanted Xue Rui to also treat Gu Muxue as a good friend.
Lin Ruoxi also cherishes Gu Muxue as her "best friend." If one day they have a conflict of interest, they will no longer be friends.
Gu Muxue was one of only two people besides Xue Rui who were kind to her, asking for nothing in return...
Lin Ruoxi wants Xue Rui's love, but at the same time, she doesn't want to lose her good friend.
But is it possible?
"As expected, I am a greedy and wicked woman."
Lin Ruoxi thought to herself.
……
During their casual conversation, the car stopped in front of Xue Rui's old home.
Xue Rui looked dazed. The old house in his memory had disappeared, replaced by a brand-new three-story villa.
This is perhaps the biggest change in him since his rebirth.
The two carried the gift box and looked at the brand-new building with great curiosity.
Inside the courtyard, Xue Xiaying, hat pulled down, was playing on her phone in the cold wind. The moment she saw Xue Rui and Lin Ruoxi walk in, she exclaimed in surprise, "Lin Ruoxi?"
It seems Xue Rui has made his choice after all.
She still favored Lin Ruoxi a little, and pulled Lin Ruoxi into the house.
"Hello, Aunt Xue..." Lin Ruoxi stammered as she greeted him.
Lin Ruoxi could never quite get into the right mindset with Xue Xiaying, because she had been her homeroom teacher for three years and had suddenly become her boyfriend's aunt...
Xue Xiaying said with a smile, "Speaking of which, I should thank you. If it weren't for you, my parents wouldn't have been willing to build a house. Now I have my own big room."
Lin Ruoxi looked surprised: "Me?"
Xue Xiaying sighed: "Last year, Xiao Rui said that he had nowhere to stay when he brought you back, so we built this new house."
Xue Xiaying felt resentful that this was her own home, yet she had to rely on an outsider girl to renovate it.
Lin Ruoxi swallowed nervously, a strange sense of pressure rising in her heart.
"Auntie, isn't this house usually lived in by Grandpa, Grandma, and you? What does it have to do with Xixi?"
Xue Rui said coldly.
The root cause is that the older generation didn't endure hardship, and he used his position to force his grandparents to improve their living conditions.
"Xixi, don't listen to her nonsense. This has nothing to do with you. Don't feel pressured," Xue Rui said gently.
Upon hearing this, Xue Xiaying realized what was happening and smiled apologetically at Lin Ruoxi.
Xue Rui sighed helplessly. The women in his family never thought before they spoke, and his mother was the smartest of them all.
Upon entering the unfamiliar living room, the first thing Xue Rui heard was Xue Yao's complaint:
"Grandpa and Grandma, my dad doesn't give me pocket money. Please talk to him for me."
"Here you go, Grandpa." The old man said, taking out a handkerchief from his pocket, carefully unfolding it, and counting out the change one by one.
Looking at the ten and twenty yuan change, Xue Yao felt a pang of sadness. Her grandparents' money was all dug out of the ground, and it felt too heavy.
"Grandpa, I don't want your money. My dad has money but he won't give it to me. I want his." Xue Yao said, pressing down on her grandfather's hand.
"Yaoyao, how many do you want?" Lin Ruoxi asked softly.
Now that I can earn some money myself, I can give some to Xue Rui's sister.
After all, I had taken quite a few clothes from Xue Yao a couple of years ago...
Xue Yao's eyes lit up upon hearing this; her cheap sister-in-law had arrived!
She thought about the recent game lottery events; if she was unlucky, it might cost over ten thousand yuan to get the skin she wanted. She spread her five fingers and said:
"Five thousand a month, I'll take two months' advance." (End of Chapter)
