Chapter 10: Narrow Road of Enemies

  He tried to soften his tone, but he didn't hear any response and still pressed his ear against the door gap. Using a magnifying glass to see millions of books, completely ad-free! He vaguely heard a coughing sound coming from inside, and only then did he realize that he had kicked open the door, filling the room with smoke and a pungent smell. Walking over to Gu Xi's side, he decisively snatched the half-smoked cigarette and extinguished it in the ashtray.

  "No smoking, no drinking, or I'll be forced to take drastic measures." He reluctantly reached out and tousled her hair, reminding her again and again before finally leaving.

  The inexplicable man, who controlled a lot, if he didn't like it, then don't call her back. Gu Xi ignored his words and lit another cigarette, lying on the wide and soft bed, taking one puff after another. Whenever she was in a bad mood, cigarettes and alcohol could always help her share some of the burden, perhaps only they could understand the pain in her heart.

  After the rain, the air in the morning is exceptionally fresh. The flowers and grasses in the yard were washed clean by the rainwater, making people feel better as they looked at them. Ling Haoyu had just walked out when he saw his assistant standing next to a slender girl - wasn't that his cousin Lin Xiaorong? As soon as he saw her dissatisfied face, she must have caused trouble again?

  "You're not working, what are you doing here? Hurry back to work, or I won't pass your internship." Ling Haoyu pinched her cheek, and the powder on this girl's face was layered, the pinched-out powder could almost be kneaded into a big dough.

  "Brother, you're so annoying! Why didn't you come over yesterday? I'm so angry, that little brat bullied me and you have to help me get revenge. Help me teach that little brat a lesson, she almost pinched my chin off!" Lin Xiaorong had always been dependent on her family since childhood, now that she's far away from her parents, she's become dependent on Ling Haoyu instead, but he doesn't really care about people, however, his spoiled and pampered cousin still needs to be paid some attention.

  "Which little girl is this? How dare you bully our little princess like this? You go back to work first, I'll take care of you when I get back from my business trip!"

  He finished speaking and had his assistant load the luggage into the car, then patted Lin Xiaorong's shoulder with both hands to comfort her, saying "Alright, go back." I don't know when he started liking to say this kind of thing, probably learned it from coaxing Lin Xiaorong, but why does hearing him say it make me want to vomit?

  "Can you keep your promise? Then take me to the subway station, and I'll take the subway back to work." Lin Xiaorong reluctantly walked to the back seat, pouting at the rearview mirror.

  Who says the sky clears after the rain, only to set off again when the sky turns dark. The trees next to it bowed their heads lower and lower, as if in pain, avoiding the wind and rain. When he arrived at the airport, he sent a text message to Gu Xi, actually because he didn't have the confidence that she would still be waiting for him at home when he returned. He was still expecting her reply, but when the broadcast sounded, the lonely figure turned back and looked around before turning off the phone and boarding the plane.

  "Sister... sister is having breakfast!"

  "I'm full, I need to go out for a bit, don't worry about me, you hurry up and eat."

  Just responded to the nanny outside the door, took away the clothes that had been worn, carrying a small green cloth bag, and now there were only a few hundred yuan on her body. The ID card was also gone, making it difficult to find work. Just saw on 58 Tongcheng that there is a part-time job sending out flyers, which can earn dozens of yuan a day.

  She didn't want to communicate with her parents after coming out like this, so if it's troublesome for her parents to reissue a temporary ID card, she might as well quietly go back and do it herself before returning. However, the money on her was only enough for a one-way trip, and she didn't want to return just yet. Qingqing's money was also hard-earned by herself, and she hadn't planned on using it unless absolutely necessary.

  Looking at the spacious room, luxurious furniture, and shiny floorboards made her feel uncomfortable all over. Perhaps it was because she had gotten used to being frugal, suddenly appearing in a luxurious villa would inevitably lead to this reaction. She saw a gold card on the table, furrowed her brow, picked it up, and walked into Ling Haoyu's room, placing it in the first drawer beside his bed. This person was a cleanliness freak? Everything was tidied away spotlessly, making her feel embarrassed to rummage through more, so she coldly smiled and quickly went downstairs. "Xiao Hui, give me the front door key, I'll be back late tonight."

  Zhang Xiaohui looked at her wearing a pink sporty outfit, which complemented her skin tone. Her bright eyes and bare face looked so comfortable, this sister's figure was really good, although less than 1.6 meters, but the curves were slender and elegant, such dressing made her legs look long and slender, looking at it made her dizzy, forgetting to take out the key from her pocket.

  "Xiao Hui, didn't you hear me talking? Give me the key." Gu Xi asked doubtfully, patting her shoulder.

  "Okay! Give it! Sister, where are you going?" Zhang Xiaohui asked in a somewhat panicked tone.

  "Mind your own business, I'm leaving!"

  The door closed with a bang, and Zhang Xiaohui finally came to her senses. Ling Haoyu had reminded her that she must take good care of Gu Xi, or else he would have no way to explain himself when he returned. But then she thought about what she had said earlier, and with a somewhat distracted mind, she put down her bowl and chopsticks, cleaned up the things, and prepared to go back and prepare lunch for Aunt Ling.

  It was just drizzling, but as soon as I came out, the sun came out. Looking at the chaotic pace, I unconsciously lifted my feet and followed the crowd to experience the fast-paced city rhythm, with all sorts of red and green lights. Just as she was about to take a step forward, she heard the whistle of the traffic police across the street, and consciously withdrew her leg, while men and women, old and young, were staring at the green light with peace of mind.

  "Why does grandma have to walk when the light is red? Didn't our teacher teach us that red means stop and green means go?" A childish voice, still unclear in pronunciation, wearing a black down jacket, tender skin reddened by the sun, with a pink tag hanging from her chest, probably a school badge, about six years old, holding onto an elderly grandma with a severely hunched back and white hair.

  Grandma seemed a bit fearful and covered her grandson's mouth with her hand, saying softly, "Be good, don't talk! Later grandma will buy you a lollipop."

  Originally, the passersby nearby didn't pay much attention, but after that little kid made a sound, everyone looked her up and down with disdain. However, she didn't show any resentment at all. Since she entered this civilized city, she had to get used to everything here. If everyone were like her, wouldn't the burden on hospitals be too heavy?

  Looking at the old lady's reaction, she might be afraid of this generation of young people. Ever since last time on the bus seeing a little girl-like dress, it was because of giving up her seat, and even hitting the old man next to her, so when she saw this situation, fear came. Nowadays children are really unspeakable, it's better to say less, at such an age, accidentally causing some trouble, those who truly want to live with their grandchildren have all gone.

  Gu Xixin's mood was somewhat down, and according to the note he had copied at home, he took a bus ride of about an hour. After getting off the bus, he felt that the scene beside him was very familiar, as if it were just yesterday that he had arrived. If he hadn't seen the Fan Yu Hotel, he really couldn't be sure whether it was a dream or whether he had actually been there before. At this time yesterday, he was arguing with the front desk lady.

  It just so happened that I passed by the Fan Yu Hotel and ran into the receptionist from yesterday again. As expected, it's a small world and you run into each other everywhere, "Hey, I said your mop-like appearance can be picked out anywhere, and this time you really delivered yourself to my doorstep."
