Xia Rou never imagined that Cao Yang would be so familiar with Director Wang of the school. Even the wish list he made for her before was discussed with Director Wang based on her estimated grades.
What was even more unexpected was that Director Wang paid special attention to her volunteer form because of Cao Yang, and then...sold her directly.
Since the end of the college entrance examination, she has been thinking about this matter. In order not to attract Cao Yang's attention, when she ordered the wallpaper and wooden floor, she didn't swipe her credit card because Cao Yang took care of the credit card bill. She didn't know that her card with cash was also related to Cao Yang's card.
Fortunately, Cao Yang asked casually and didn't think much about it. She thought she passed the test smoothly.
When it was time to fill out the volunteer form, she knew... In her previous life, Cao Yang was worried about letting her go to other places to study, and insisted on putting her under his nose to take care of her. If he is a good child who studies and studies, it is even less likely that he will let her go.
So she played a game of obedience and defiance.
It's also because she has performed so well in the past three years, so Cao Yang didn't have the slightest suspicion at all.
At that time, seeing her eldest brother's gentle attitude, she felt... really guilty and sad.
But, this matter... was really the most important decision she made after her rebirth. No matter how sad she is, she will never change her mind.
In this life, no matter what, she... will never drag him down again.
He worried about her enough.
enough.
In this life, let him relax and live his own life.
As long as she thinks of such an excellent man like him, but the marriage is going to break up, Xia Rou will feel very sad.
She looked at Wang Man from the eyes of her sister-in-law. Although she felt a little afraid of her arrogance and indifference, she had to admit that Wang Man's comprehensive conditions were really good.
She also has a little understanding of the rich and powerful in the provincial capital. She has read it all, and really can't find anyone with better conditions than Wang Man to match Cao Yang.
Moreover, it doesn't matter whether she likes Wang Man or not. The important thing is that Cao Yang chose her as his wife, naturally because he likes her and falls in love with her.
So, even if she doesn't like Wang Man, or Wang Man doesn't like her, it doesn't matter. What's important is that she, this annoying little white flower and oil bottle, must stay far away from them in her life!
Let this pair of perfectly matched couples live a peaceful life without her disturbance in their mansion.
In this way, the husband and wife will not have a gap because of her, and the elder brother... must be able to live happily.
As for her, she won't go very far either.
She went to college first, lived in her own apartment during winter and summer vacations, and returned to the provincial capital after graduation. At that time, she can find a job by herself, or her elder brother can arrange it for her. She has two sets of bottom dealers in her hand, not that kind of small door face. The properties that Cao Xiong bought for Cheng Wan, one big and one small, all signed fifteen-year long-term contracts with the tenants. You can get a rent in the early 100s every year.
The annual salary of many executives of foreign companies or state-owned enterprises is about the same.
Although I can't live the life of a few top sports cars at home, for an ordinary person, it is enough to pay for a rich and even a bit extravagant life.
What's more, she is a loner and eats alone.
After arranging my finances in my heart, I couldn't understand why my previous life couldn't be satisfied with this.
Obviously, life is better than most ordinary people.
Greed is really a terrible evil in human nature.
Xia Rou couldn't help sighing.
She figured it out, she actually had no financial pressure at all. She can finish reading easily, and then find a job that she really likes.
Not for living, but for interest, for liking, to prove your worth, that's fine.
Then she can come back occasionally to have a look, to see Cao Xiong, Cao Yang, and everyone.
The fragrance is far away and the smell is near. She is far away from them. Even Wang Man...wouldn't hate her as much as in her previous life, right
The only thing she worries about now is that she acts behind Cao Yang's back and goes against his will. When he finds out, when... when...
Hey, then I can only bite the bullet and be scolded.
It's okay, when she got the notice, she hurried to school. When he can't see her and miss her, she will come back to see him.
He is so good to her, he will definitely soften his heart in the end. Then she acted cheekily and acted like a baby, and he would definitely forgive her.
Hmm, that's it, perfect.
Xia Rou, who thought so beautifully, planned to go to bed at first, but she didn't expect that Cao Yang would call her inside the building at such a late hour.
"Come to my study," he said.
Xia Rou was so familiar with him that she could feel Cao Yang's low air pressure through the phone line.
She became inexplicably restless. Jogging all the way up to the third floor, he knocked on the door of Cao Yang's study.
"Come in." Cao Yang's voice sounded. Probably because it sounds dull through the wooden door.
Xia Rou opened the door and went in, and saw Cao Yang sitting behind the desk. The leather chair was set back a bit away from the desk so his long legs could rest one ankle on the other knee.
The uniform buttons at the neckline are open, revealing the Adam's apple and collarbone. Leaning back, smoking a cigarette, looking at her coolly.
With a condescending interrogation-like aura.
It's been three years, and it's the first time Cao Yang looks at Xia Rou with such an expression. Xia Rou faintly had a bad premonition.
"Brother?" She called softly, walked to the leather chair in front of the desk and sat down.
Put your knees together and put your white hands on your knees, your back is straight, and your jaw is slightly retracted. A pair of eyes are black and big, watching him blink and blink.
She doesn't have the arrogance and pettiness of girls from other families at all, and she looks like such a well-behaved girl who makes people hurt.
so good...so good...
No wonder!
It was actually put together by this little thing!
Cao Yang gritted his teeth with hatred.
"Xia Rou..." Cao Yang held a cigarette, squinted at her, and called out her first and last name.
Xia Rou sweated slightly on her forehead, and she felt tremendous psychological pressure inexplicably.
In the previous life, if the eldest brother scolded her, he would always have a serious face and frown. As for her, she just hung her head and said nothing.
The eldest brother has never been like this before, and Xia Rou doesn't know how to deal with it. He replied in a daze, "Hey..."
If it wasn't for Cao Yang being angry at the moment, he would have been able to make him laugh just by being so stupid.
He turned his head away and exhaled a puff of white smoke.
Turning around, I asked, "It's been three years since you've been home, you've finished high school, and you're about to go to college. I just want to ask you... have you been happy these past few years
"Happy." Xia Rou replied without thinking.
Without a trace of hesitation, it can be seen that it is a sincere answer.
"Brothers, do you think it's okay for you?" He asked again.
A smile appeared in Xia Rou's eyes: "Of course."
"What about my dad?" Cao Yang paused, and said, "You know my dad, he's a little... used to giving orders to others, and sometimes he speaks more forcefully and seriously, and many people are afraid of him .”
"Uncle is very good to me, I'm not afraid of him." Xia Rou raised the corners of her lips unknowingly.
The expression is natural, the eyes are gentle and gentle, it can be seen that there is no fake.
Cao Yang's eyes stayed on her pink lips for a while, and there was a brief silence in the room.
Xia Rou blinked and looked at him puzzled.
Cao Yang changed the cigarette in another hand and flicked the ash: "Does the staff at home treat you badly? If so, tell me that you don't need to keep it anymore, just fire it."
"No..." Xia Rou was stunned, sweating slightly on her forehead, "Everyone treats me very well. Brother, why do you keep asking such strange questions... Yes... Is there something wrong?"
Cao Yang stared at her.
Staring at Xia Rou made her fidget, unconsciously shifted her center of gravity, and twisted her fingers.
Cao Yang didn't open his mouth until he was so stared at her that she lowered her head.
He said slowly: "Then...why do you want to leave Cao's house?"
Xia Rou was stiff for a moment.
She bit the bullet and said: "No... Yes..." But she didn't dare to lift her head, and her voice was weak.
Cao Yang really wanted to roll his eyes, because with this little skill, he dared to throw a flower gun at him.
He didn't say anything, opened the drawer, pulled out a piece of paper and slapped it in front of her with a "snap".
When Xia Rou saw her volunteer form, her face turned pale. He lowered his head and said nothing again.
Seeing her like this, Cao Yang felt a fire in his heart.
"You renovated the house, and filled in all your volunteers from other places..." He gritted his teeth and said, "Xia Rou, tell me, what do you want to do?"
Xia Rou bit her lip, but didn't speak.
Cao Yang didn't speak, and smoked dully. There was a moment of silence in the house.
In a trance, Xia Rou seemed to have returned to her previous life. Every time she listened to the training in front of Cao Yang, she always had this kind of atmosphere. He sat behind the desk smoking a cigarette, staring at her.
There is always something in her eyes that she can't understand...
And when she left, she faintly heard a sigh...
Cao Yang didn't expect her to be distracted at such a time. But he has always been a calm and self-controlled person. Just now he said a few harsh words to let out some of the anger in his heart, and he has calmed down.
He stood up, walked around to the desk, leaned against the desk, took two puffs of cigarettes, and then said: "Xia Rou, you have been at home for three years, I ask myself... I treat you as my own sister."
"Whether it's my dad or Xiaobin, everyone regards you as a family and has never lied to you." He slowed down, "So, tell me...why do you want to leave our house?"
Xia Rou lowered her head and looked at the black leather shoes and trousers not far in front of her... She slowly raised her head and saw Cao Yang's slightly bent face.
"Because..." She tried to find a reasonable explanation calmly, "Because of me, I'm an adult."
After she said this sentence, it seemed that she had found logic and courage.
Yes, this time, she did the right thing.
It's the right thing to do.
Her heart suddenly became stronger.
Different from the obsessive stubbornness of the previous life, this kind of strength is because there is someone in my heart who wants to protect.
