Reborn and awakened, this time I won't be a love-struck fool.

Xia Ruoruo nodded. "It's me."

Xie Yanhuai leaned against the edge of the sofa, "What are you doing here?"

Upon hearing this question, Xia Ruoruo bit her lip.

She seemed to feel a little ashamed and quickly rubbed her cheeks.

Xia Ruoruo!

You earn your own money with your own hands, which makes you much more successful than those rich kids who rely on their families and spend their family's money!

You are not allowed to feel ashamed!

Thinking this through, Xia Ruoruo spoke again with a firm tone: "I'll work part-time here."

"Oh... a part-time job."

Xie Yanhuai poured himself a glass of wine, took two sips, and quickly collapsed onto the sofa.

Part-time jobs were something that was far too distant for Young Master Xie.

Xia Ruoruo pursed her lips and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely pay you back the 900,000."

Xie Yanhuai straightened up again, staring at Xia Ruoruo with half-closed eyes, "You don't need to pay me back."

"I have to pay it back," Xia Ruoruo said stubbornly. "This amount of money may not be much to you, but it's an astronomical figure to me. I can't justify owing you so much money."

Xie Yanhuai remained silent.

He stared intently at Xia Ruoruo.

Although she was wearing the uniform of a waitress, she was very beautiful, as pure and elegant as a lotus flower emerging from clear water.

Her big eyes were bright and clear, full of sincerity and stubbornness.

Xie Yanhuai's lips curled into a smile. "Are you sure you can pay it back?"

Xia Ruoruo bit her lip, as if she had been humiliated. "I'm still just a student, so I can't pay back the money right now, but I will work hard to grow up and earn money."

Xie Yanhuai was silent for a moment, then said, "Why don't you ask your parents to help you pay it back?"

"This is my business," Xia Ruoruo sobbed. "I don't want my parents to know."

"Why?" Xie Yanhuai suddenly remembered the illegitimate son at home who would come to the house to ask for money whenever he was short of funds.

Xia Ruoruo wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and said, "Because I feel that children are just children and shouldn't ask their parents for money so confidently. It's already a lot of hard work for them to give us life."

"..."

After she finished speaking, seeing Xie Yanhuai remain silent for a long time, staring at her with his deep eyes, she rubbed her nose a little uncomfortably and asked softly, "Why aren't you saying anything?"

"No." Xie Yanhuai quickly came back to his senses, a smile appearing on his lips. "I just thought what you said made a lot of sense, and I was lost in thought."

Xia Ruoruo pursed her lips. "Why are you unhappy today?"

Xie Yanhuai tilted his head back and took a sip of wine. "My father's illegitimate son came to visit today."

Xia Ruoruo mumbled an "Oh".

She thought, "So even rich kids have so many troubles."

It seems that fate is fair.

"Don't be too sad," Xia Ruoruo patted his shoulder and said, "You have to look forward."

Xie Yanhuai never expected that Xia Ruoruo would be the one to comfort him in the end.

A girl from a poor family, with whom he had little contact.

His cold heart felt as if it had been warmed by someone's hands. He smiled and said, "Thank you for your comfort."

Xia Ruoruo's cheeks flushed slightly. She thought to herself, "This young master actually said thank you."

She pursed her lips and said, "You seem to have had too much to drink. Should I call Lin Wu?"

Xie Yanhuai's expression instantly turned cold. "Why are you calling her?"

Xia Ruoruo clenched her fists. "She's your fiancée."

"An agreement from the older generation." Xie Yanhuai scoffed. "Did you call her to humiliate me?"

humiliation……

Xia Ruoruo: "Lin Wu seems to be quite understanding."

Xie Yanhuai took a sip of his drink and said coldly, "You're overthinking it. Not all girls are like you."

Xia Ruoruo paused for a moment, a hint of smugness creeping into her heart. "Perhaps it's because my childhood experiences were more complicated, so I'm better able to empathize and put myself in others' shoes."

Xie Yanhuai curled his lips and crossed his legs. "Call your manager over here."

Xia Ruoruo's eyes widened: "You're not going to tell our manager, are you?"

Xie Yanhuai was amused by her words. "You'll find out when you call him over."

Xia Ruoruo glanced at him hesitantly, then went to find the manager.

The manager, a man in his thirties, wearing a suit, hurried over.

His expression, which had initially shown some annoyance at being disturbed, vanished instantly upon recognizing Xie Yanhuai sitting in the booth. He put on a smile again, "Oh, isn't this Young Master Xie? Why didn't you tell me beforehand?"

"I came here alone, just looking for some peace and quiet," Xie Yanhuai said. "Here's what we'll do: open ten bottles of wine for me, and put it on this young lady's tab."

He pointed at Xia Ruoruo.

Xia Ruoruo was stunned.

The manager, who used to boss her around, smiled at her and nodded quickly, "Okay, okay."

He opened ten bottles of wine in one go, and the manager was all smiles.

At that time, Xia Ruoruo did not know that she would receive a commission of two thousand yuan for each bottle of wine.

She just looked at Xie Yanhuai with gratitude: "Thank you, you are the kindest rich person I have ever met."

Xie Yanhuai curled his lips, feeling very pleased.

-

It wasn't until the afternoon that she heard the news that Xie Yanhuai, the eldest son of the Xie family, had angrily opened ten bottles of wine for a waiter at a bar.

The message was sent by Shen Mingluo.

Although she's a bit carefree, she has a particular fondness for gossip.

Please strengthen Xi Shi's abilities: [What are your thoughts?]

Lin Wu stroked his chin, thought for a moment, and replied: "That's incredibly stingy, only ten bottles. If it were me, I'd start with a hundred."

Please enhance Xi Shi's image: [President Lin is too generous.]

Melancholy Sweetheart: [Keep it down.]

Lin Chuanqiong returned home for dinner that evening, which was a rare occurrence.

The first time we saw this table was a family of three eating together.

Lin Wu still had no proper posture, with one leg propped up on the stool. She shoveled a couple of mouthfuls of rice into her mouth and turned to look at Lin Si.

He slept for almost a day, and the dark circles under his eyes finally faded a lot, making him look younger.

"what?"

Lin Si had gotten used to Lin Wu's sudden outbursts of madness.

"What are your plans for tomorrow?"

Lin Wu asked vaguely.

"..." Lin Si paused for a moment with his chopsticks. "Nothing much is planned."

"Then come with me to the amusement park," Lin Wu said.

Lin Si paused for a moment, then said, "Okay."

"Okay." Lin Wu smiled.

Looking at the smile on his daughter's face, Lin Chuanqiong couldn't help but ask, "Ah Si is so happy to go to the amusement park with you?"

Lin Si seemed indifferent, eating with his head down, but Lin Wu noticed that his hand gripping the chopsticks tightened imperceptibly.

She knew what he was worried about, so she said with particular certainty, "Yes, I'm very happy."

Lin Chuanqiong smiled and said, "Okay."

Throughout the entire process, Lin Si remained remarkably silent.

Lin Wu thought that her younger brother was a difficult child.

They never express their feelings of liking, caring, or being happy; others need to observe them patiently.
