Human Greed - Chapter 88
Xu Ruoxing and Su Yi were exhausted, they seemed to have gone through a silent battle, and finally fell into each other’s arms, Xu Ruoxing received a call from Li Chen the next morning, she pressed the center of her eyebrows: “I won’t be here today. She said: “Su Yi will not go there either.”
Li Chen smiled twice to express her understanding, Xu Ruoxing hung up the phone, seeing that Su Yi didn’t wake up at all, she held Su Yi in her arms, and fell asleep again, probably because she was really tired, she slept until the afternoon At four o’clock, Su Yi hadn’t woken up yet, Xu Ruoxing was a little worried, and called her, Su Yi opened his eyes, his complexion was much better than yesterday, but his eyes were very red, slightly swollen, and his body marks were obvious, it was the two of them who turned up and down As evidence, Xu Ruoxing said: “I asked Li Chen to bring dinner, and it will be delivered later.”
Su Yi didn’t know if she heard it, she woke up and sat for a long time, and kept that posture, Xu Ruoxing called: “Su Yi?”
She came back to her senses: “Huh?”
Xu Ruoxing said: “Go wash up first, and have dinner later.”
Su Yi nodded, didn’t drink any alcohol, her mind was as uncomfortable as a hangover, she just slept all day, her pale face became rosy, she didn’t look sick, Su Yi went to the bathroom to wash, Xu Ruoxing stood in the room, she changed Wearing a mid-length skirt with a coat on top, she looked at the watch on the cabinet. She glanced twice, put it on her wrist, took out the wedding ring from the drawer, put it on her ring finger, and finally looked at the man who bound Su Yi last night. Xu Ruoxing pinched the silk scarf under his fingertips, and finally gathered it under his collar and tied it in a knot.
After tidying up, Su Yi also came out of the bathroom, the door was knocked, Su Yi was startled, looked over, the door didn’t open, but Xu Ruoxing came out and opened the door, Li Chen stood outside and said hello: “Good morning.”
Xu Ruoxing glanced at her, Li Chen said: “What are you doing looking at me like that, it’s not too early for you to sleep till now.”
Su Yi didn’t speak.
Li Chen walked over, put the dinner on the tea table, and said, “Can’t Su Yi come over?”
Xu Ruoxing shook his head: “She won’t go.” As he spoke, he looked at Su Yi, and Su Yi also looked at her. Their eyes met, Xu Ruoxing moved closer to Su Yi, and said, “I know what you want to say, wait for me to come back.”
Su Yi looked at the dinner on the coffee table, then looked at Xu Ruoxing, her expression was much calmer, she nodded, Li Chen smiled: “I said you young couple, enough is enough!”
Xu Ruoxing took her downstairs directly.
On the way, Li Chen probed: “Reconciled?”
Xu Ruoxing glanced at her and said, “I met an acquaintance last night.”
Li Chen asked, “Who is it?”
Xu Ruoxing said, “Zhou Yuanyuan.”
The car was silent for a few seconds, and after a while, Li Chen adjusted the atmosphere with an ah, and laughed dryly: “That’s a coincidence, how did we meet?”
Xu Ruoxing said: “She came to find Su Yi.”
Li Chen asked in confusion, “Su Yi?”
She didn’t understand: “What’s the relationship between her and Su Yi?”
Xu Ruoxing said: “She is Su Yi’s friend.”
Li Chen was stunned: “What, what?”
She couldn’t believe it: “Can’t you?” Are you kidding me? She never thought about having any connection with Zhou Yuanyuan at all, nor did Xu Ruoxing, her face was tense, and Li Chen knew that she must be in a very bad mood.
Zhou Yuanyuan, a name I haven’t mentioned for several years. A long time ago, they had a good relationship. When they were in high school, she, Xu Ruoxing and Zhou Yuanyuan were the closest. Later, Xu Ruoxing met an extreme admirer, so extreme that he wrote blood. I wrote a love letter to her, and the confession was even more outrageous. I even pasted a love letter on her book with snake skin, and gave a live mouse. It was extremely terrifying. During that time, Xu Ruoxing did not dare to go to school. , I just returned to school, I thought it was an episode, but Zhou Yuanyuan also received it, and the other party was even more of a suitor than Xu Ruoxing, and what he did was staggering. At that time, she was in high school and was emotionally fragile. After going to school, she told Xu Ruoxing to let Xu Ruoxing pretend to be her partner so as to fend off those extreme suitors.
Originally, the two injured people were normal. Several of their friends knew about it, and they thought it was just a favor. It was nothing. Later, Zhou Yuanyuan went abroad, and they had been communicating with each other for a few weeks. Suddenly one day, Xu Ruoxing stopped mentioning Zhou Yuanyuan. She was curious. With a mouthful, Xu Ruoxing quarreled with her.
Only then did she know that the crazy suitor Zhou Yuanyuan mentioned in high school was a fake at all. That person was just cooperating with Zhou Yuanyuan in acting, and Zhou Yuanyuan said several times that she met the suitor, it was all fake, Xu Ruoxing was kept in the dark, and it was just plain There was an extra girlfriend for no reason, Zhou Yuanyuan didn’t dare to tell them in their previous class, but in the new school, another classmate found out and told Xu Ruoxing, Xu Ruoxing only knew about it.
This incident dealt a big blow to Xu Ruoxing. Zhou Yuanyuan took advantage of the matter of the suitor to deliberately fabricate the fact that the two were in love, which made Xu Ruoxing unbearable. The most unbearable thing was that she had been cheating from the very beginning. .
Because of this, Xu Ruoxing became more cautious in making friends later on. In the past, she devoted her heart and soul to any friend, but later she tied her hands and feet. Gradually, besides her, there were not many close friends around her.
Zhou Yuanyuan’s influence on Xu Ruoxing was quite great, and Li Chen knew it, so she never mentioned this person in front of her afterwards, and kept hearing that she was abroad, but she never thought that she would return to China, nor would she even know Su Yi.
According to her understanding of Zhou Yuanyuan, she suddenly asked, “Will you approach Su Yi on purpose?”
Xu Ruoxing was silent, and said, “They met abroad in freshman year.”
“Oh.” Li Chen thought, it’s been too long, we’ve known each other since the time when we went abroad, at that time Xu Ruoxing and Su Yi had nothing to do with each other, it seems like he was thinking too much when he said that he planned to get closer.
She asked Xu Ruoxing: “Then what are you going to do?”
Xu Ruoxing replied to her: “What should I do?”
Li Chen said: “Zhou Yuanyuan, she and Su Yi…”
“She and Su Yina used to have a relationship.” Xu Ruoxing said, “Now I am her wife.”
Li Chen understood, and co-authored to come to this class reunion tonight, not just a gathering, Zhou Yuanyuan might be there too, no wonder she put on her wedding ring tonight.
The car drove slowly into the hotel, the lights were bright, Li Chen said: “Yesterday I was drinking coffee with your wife opposite.”
Xu Ruoxing’s tense expression eased, and he went in with Li Chen. There were already several people sitting in the box. There were probably fifteen or six people sitting at a large round table. The squad leader sat on the outermost side. He saw Xu Ruoxing and Li Chen coming in Said: “Look who’s here! We, Mr. Xu and Mr. Li!”
Li Chen said: “Don’t let it go, now who doesn’t know that you are doing well, the show last time didn’t have your help, how could our **** go so smoothly.”
The class monitor smiled. The relationship between her and Xu Ruoxing Lichen was okay. They were in the same class in high school, and they happened to be in the same class and major in college. , Mr. Xu is doing well, and the family and business have a good harvest!”
Several other people looked at Xu Ruoxing: “Married?”
Very surprised.
Xu Ruoxing nodded and raised his hand. The wedding ring was very obvious. The squad leader said, “My wife is still a great designer, and she hid it well enough.”
Others started booing and quarreling, they were all chatty in the class, good at enlivening the atmosphere, and Li Chen was inside, when Zhou Yuanyuan came in, she saw the scene of them chatting and laughing together, the time jumped to the past, When she entered the class door, she saw Xu Ruoxing talking and laughing with her classmates. Xu Ruoxing used to love to laugh.
She lowered her head and heard the monitor shout, “Doctor Zhou!”
“Come, come.” The squad leader introduced: “Doctor Zhou, now in the city hospital, I will give you a way, and we will go to the hospital in the future without queuing!”
Zhou Yuanyuan smiled: “The team still has to line up.”
She looked at Xu Ruoxing: “And it’s not a good thing to go to the hospital.”
The squad leader pressed Zhou Yuanyuan to sit next to Xu Ruoxing. They all knew that they had a good relationship in the past, but they didn’t contact each other later. They didn’t know that they lost contact very early. Seeing this, Li Chen said to Xu Ruoxing: “You sit here with me I have something to say to Zhou Yuanyuan.”
Xu Ruoxing changed places with her.
Everyone was almost there, and the class monitor ordered a few bottles of red wine. Some of my former classmates were in the same industry, and some were in other industries, but Zhou Yuanyuan crossed such a big gap and studied medicine. She is rather curious. Zhou Yuanyuan’s appearance is not bad, she is dignified, and she has the calmness of a doctor. Those who are not married here express their feelings to her and Li Chen. Li Chen pretends not to hear, Zhou Yuanyuan smiles and agrees with the two questions. Neither of them were interested, so they changed the subject.
Xu Ruoxing didn’t drink and wanted to drive. Li Chen drank a few glasses for her. She went to the toilet frequently, and the seat was vacant. Zhou Yuanyuan turned to look at Xu Ruoxing. Xu Ruoxing was holding a cup with drinks in it. Calm down, I didn’t take a good look at it last night, but now I look at it carefully, there is such a big difference between Xu Ruoxing and her memory.
Xu Ruoxing turned his head to meet Zhou Yuanyuan’s gaze.
Zhou Yuanyuan asked, “Su Yi didn’t come?”
Xu Ruoxing said: “Su Yi didn’t rest well last night, so she rested at home.”
Zhou Yuanyuan shook the cup: “I didn’t know you were married.”
Xu Ruoxing didn’t speak.
When she was in college, she and Zhou Yuanyuan had a clean break. On the one hand, their mutual friends were because they were by Xu Ruoxing’s side, and on the other hand, they really didn’t despise what Zhou Yuanyuan did.
Zhou Yuanyuan really didn’t know that Xu Ruoxing was married. Before returning to China, she asked someone she knew, and that person said she didn’t know. He hadn’t contacted her after graduation, and she didn’t hear of a date or marriage.
So she thought that Xu Ruoxing was still single.
Xu Ruoxing said: “Whether you get married or not has nothing to do with you.”
With a cold attitude, Zhou Yuanyuan took a sip of wine, she looked at the silk scarf on Xu Ruoxing’s chest, Xu Ruoxing followed her gaze and lowered her head: “Why?”
Zhou Yuanyuan said, “Su Yi gave it to you, right?”
Xu Ruoxing clenched the cup tightly, his jaw tensed, the surroundings were noisy, they were silently competing, half a second later, Xu Ruoxing said, “How do you know?”
Zhou Yuanyuan paused: “I chose it with Su Yi.”
Xu Ruoxing’s heart tightened suddenly, and she was hit hard. She even wanted to untie the silk scarf immediately. Her fingers touched the edge of the silk scarf. The soft fabric was extremely smooth. She put down her hand and looked at Zhou Yuanyuan: “What do you want?” say what?”
“You want to tell me that you helped her choose the silk scarf?”
Zhou Yuanyuan stared at Xu Ruoxing’s eyes: “If so.”
Xu Ruoxing said, “So what? It’s mine now.”
Zhou Yuanyuan glanced at her and said suddenly: “Ruoxing, you are different from before.”
Xu Ruoxing looked back calmly. When Li Chen came back, she saw this tense scene. She was almost shocked, and immediately said, “Oh, the bathroom is so congested.”
After sitting down, Zhou Yuanyuan stood up, with an envelope in her hand, she said to Li Chen, “Help me pass it to Xu Ruoxing.”
Li Chen glanced at her, then at Xu Ruoxing, feeling embarrassed for a moment, she said oh, Zhou Yuanyuan had already left with her bag, Li Chen looked at Xu Ruoxing, but before she spoke, Xu Ruoxing gave her a cold look.
Li Chen drank too much wine, and she said, “Why don’t I help you?”
Xu Ruoxing was noncommittal and did not refuse. Li Chen looked at the slightly opened letter, and she glanced inside. It was not a letter, but two photos. It was so strange. She took one out and said, “This is not a letter. Do we have a photo of our high school graduation?”
As she spoke, she was puzzled: “Why did Zhou Yuanyuan give you this?”
Xu Ruoxing glanced sideways. Many people in the graduation photo had immature faces. Li Chen took the second photo and was stunned: “Ruoxing, do you think this looks familiar? It seems to be your wife?”
Xu Ruoxing put down the cup and took the photo from Li Chen’s hand. Under a tree, there was indeed a girl in a blue and white school uniform, with a ponytail and contoured features. It was Su Yi.
She stands behind a tree and looks at a person.
In the camera, that person is her.
