It's not that Ruan Ningwei didn't have a grudge against Tao Xingruo for taking advantage of others.
She didn't know how many years she and Tao Xingruo had known each other. Even if she didn't have a deep friendship, she always thought that Tao Xingruo just seemed inaccessible, but he was actually an honest and kind person.
Therefore, she could not understand why Tao Xingruo fell from the sky, gave her a hope, and then forced her into despair.
But she has come to the end of the mountain. Her acting career has been almost completely ruined since she couldn't get into the show. Before her mother's accident, she had not received a job for a long time, and the money she earned in the past had fully paid off the gambling debt owed by her father before his death.
Looking at her dying mother in the intensive care unit, she had no choice.
She took Tao Xingruo's card, moved into Tao Xingruo's house, and even moved into her bedroom, sharing the bed with Tao Xingruo. Tao Xingruo's sister was ecstatic when she saw her, but she couldn't even squeeze a fake smile for this poor and well-behaved girl.
She never thought that no matter how poor or hard she had never compromised herself, one day she would sell her body for money and become a plaything for the rich. If her mother knew, she might scold her for reading the book of sages in vain and being shameless.
But compared to those wretched men who had the same mind as Tao Xingruo when he was committed to borrowing money, Tao Xingruo was not bad.
She laughed at herself. Anyway, it's a sexual orientation.
The mother was rescued, but there was little hope of sobriety. She stayed in the hospital day and night for a week, and was finally brought home by Tao Xingruo.
While Tao Xingruo was taking a shower in the bathroom in the bedroom, Ruan Ningwei was in the other bathroom, mechanically drying her body, wrapped in a bathrobe in the vacuum and went out. Her tears had dried up for her mother, and her heart was numb. She thought, sooner or later, this day will come. Is it appropriate to take care of your mood after they have given you money
Unexpectedly, after Tao Xingruo came out and saw her half-undressed on the bed, her eyes were burning, she turned off the air conditioner and sat on the bed, reaching out and hugging her.
then…
He slept in his arms without doing anything.
Ruan Ningwei was trapped in her arms, smelling the fragrance of the bath on her body, her whole body was stiff.
She didn't know what Tao Xingruo meant, was it hard to get hold of it, or did she lose interest when she saw her crying and sad face? She seemed to think a lot, but she didn't seem to come up with anything. In the end, she couldn't beat the sleepiness, and she fell into a deep sleep.
Later, night after night.
After a long time, her hope for her mother's recovery gradually gave up. Tao Xingruo transferred her to the hospital and sent a special nurse to take care of her mother. During the three visits a week, Tao Xingruo sometimes accompanied her, and sometimes Send a driver to take her there.
Later, Tao Xingruo signed her into the company and gave her resources and opportunities.
But from beginning to end, Tao Xingruo never touched her. She had been restless for two months, and finally, on another night of sleeping together, she asked her question.
"So, do you want me to touch you?" Tao Xingruo asked her with a half-smile while reading a book with gold-rimmed glasses.
Ruan Ningwei's face turned pale immediately.
Tao Xingruo snorted, took off his glasses, and closed the book. She pulled Ruan Ningwei into her arms, "Do happy things with a lover. You don't like me, how can you be happy when you do it?"
Ruan Ningwei's heart was pounding, and she didn't know where to put her hands and feet.
Tao Xingruo didn't seem to care about her embarrassment, like holding a big beloved doll, she raised her hand and gently rubbed her hair.
"I know I'm not your type." Her voice came from behind Ruan Ningwei.
Ruan Ningwei didn't dare to speak, Tao Xingruo was indeed not her type.
Before entering the entertainment industry, she worked diligently and worked as a tutor for Tao Xingruo's sister for three years. Tao Xingruo's sister is a little girl who has lost her hearing and gradually lost her ability to speak. The little girl smiled brightly, and Ruan Ningwei liked her very much. But Tao Xingruo and her sister gave her the opposite feeling. Every time she met Tao Xingruo when she was a tutor, she was inexplicably nervous, so when she went to tutor later, she silently prayed that Tao Xingruo would never stay at home.
It's true that Tao Xingruo looks too serious, and his aura is terrifying. After she saw Tao Xingruo scolding his subordinates to cry once, ever since she saw Tao Xingruo, she was like a mouse seeing a cat - she didn't dare to let out the air, so she wanted to walk around.
"However, I think that if you know me well enough, you will definitely like me more and more." Tao Xingruo buried herself in her neck, her voice faint but firm.
Ruan Ningwei's heart trembled, but she calmed down in the end.
She only thinks that Tao Xingruo has committed the bad things of a rich man, that buying a body with money is not enough, and she can't wait for the other party to give her heart.
This kind of rich people's game, she has experienced once is enough.
But now, she was dazedly letting Tao Xingruo wipe her tears with her thumb, and in a trance, she had the illusion that she was liked.
Her tears gradually stopped.
She sniffed, and the first sentence she said was: "Don't block Lu Min." Her voice was soft and crying.
After finishing speaking, she also felt that she was ridiculous, why did she think that Tao Xingruo would block Lu Min for her.
But Tao Xingruo had indeed done something similar for her.
Tao Xingruo and Jingxiu were both stunned, not knowing whether to laugh or cry for a moment. Can't take care of yourself and take care of others? I don't know whether to call her kind or stupid.
"Okay, don't block." Tao Xingruo helped her up and promised.
Lu Min will not only not be blocked, but will also sign in Ran Wen. This is her reward to Lu Min.
After Ruan Ningwei got up, embarrassed to be next to Tao Xingruo, she supported her numb and weak legs on the table with her hands. With tears still hanging from her eyelashes, she hesitated for two seconds, and begged Tao Xingruo to say, "Mr. Tao, I want to quit the show, and I also want to quit the entertainment industry, okay?" She didn't dare to come to this competition. But Tao Xingruo asked her to come, she had to come.
Tao Xingruo frowned, his aura cooled down. "No." She spit out these three words coldly.
Ruan Ningwei's knuckles on the table turned white with force, her lips trembled, and she had nothing to say.
"Tao, can I chat with Ning Wei alone for a while?" Jingxiu asked peacefully.
Tao Xingruo gritted his teeth, sighed almost imperceptibly, nodded and went out.
Her back was a little desolate.
Jingxiu casually rolled up her skirt and sat down on the steps opposite Ruan Ningwei. Her expression was no longer as majestic as when she commented before, and she asked Ruan Ningwei like a gossip, "Ning Wei, do you really want to quit the entertainment industry?"
Ruan Ningwei looked at her from a distance, and after a few seconds, she lowered her eyelids and said dumbly, "I can't eat this job anymore. Teacher Jing, you are right, I will only drag others down if I continue."
Jingxiu shook his head and pointedly said: "I never thought that you couldn't eat this kind of food, it's you, you don't want to eat this kind of food, right?"
Ruan Ningwei pursed her lips and said nothing.
"Ning Wei, do you still remember why you entered this industry? Is your original intention really gone?"
"Do you really want to act?"
"Are you really willing?"
Jingxiu sent a few questions like a machine gun, all of which hit Ruan Ningwei's heart. Her throat seemed to be strangled, and she couldn't make a sound.
How could she not remember? She fell in love with acting from the first time she performed on a campus stage play. Every time she plays someone else's life, she seems to have found a temporary space to breathe without worry.
Performing is an art she loves and her way of releasing pressure. Later, it became her livelihood.
When she heard the confession of the little fans for the first time, she was full of enthusiasm and thought confidently that she would definitely work hard, make her star career magnanimous, and live up to their love. She took the first paycheck, paid off part of her father's gambling debts, and brought her mother, who had not been to a restaurant for more than ten years, to a good meal. She remembered her mother's proud and expectant gaze for a long time.
If it wasn't because of her excessive love that she was reluctant to bear, how dare she brazenly endure abuse in this circle.
"Don't be reconciled." Jingxiu stared at her and spit out her heart softly. "Come here." She waved to Ruan Ningwei.
Ruan Ningwei couldn't bear her gentle request, and walked to her side with heavy steps.
Jingxiu reached out and grabbed her wrist, pulling her to sit beside him.
"My cousin, Tao Xingruo, has actually liked you for a long time." Jingxiu suddenly changed the subject.
Ruan Ningwei was stunned.
Jingxiu didn't take it seriously, and continued lightly, "Since you went to her house as a tutor, she has liked you." As if to ease the dignified atmosphere, she teased with a little smile: "Can't think of it? Mr. Tao, who is all-powerful outside, is actually such an innocent little girl."
Ruan Ningwei's throat tightened and her claws scratched her heart. It's not that she hadn't thought about this possibility, after all Tao Xingruo was too kind to her. But soon, she dispelled her own speculation. Besides her pretty skin, what is there for her to be liked by a proud son like Tao Xingruo
Besides, if you really like it, why take advantage of it
Jingxiu saw Ruan Ningwei's doubts and explained, "If I said that it was I who gave her a bad idea and let her take advantage of it, would you hate me?" It was she who informed Tao Xingruo and asked her to go to send money.
"..." Ruan Ningwei turned to look at Jingxiu.
"She thinks that you are very afraid of her, and it is impossible to like her, so she has never bothered you. Is that true? You don't like people with her character at all."
Ruan Ningwei was shaken. What kind of character is Tao Xingruo? She used to think it was serious and cold, but now... after being forced to get along for a long time, she was a little uncertain.
"You're too defensive. If she just pursues you, it's estimated that you and her can't even be friends after you break it?"
"So, after she made up her mind to chase you, she desperately forced you to stay with her. On the one hand, she felt that it was convenient to take care of you and your mother, and on the other hand, she felt that she needed a chance to let you slowly Get to know her."
Ruan Ningwei was in a state of turmoil, a little suspicious, a little moved, and a little frightened. She really didn't want to, and didn't dare to fall in love again.
"You can't get into the show, is it related to Lu Zishan?" Jingxiu suddenly jumped on the topic again, killing Ruan Ningwei by surprise.
Ruan Ningwei didn't have time to hide it, her surprised and panicked expression confirmed Jingxiu's guess.
Jingxiu understood. She didn't explain much, just stared at Ruan Ningwei and persuaded her: "Ning Wei, if there is a poisonous sore in the wound, you will never face it, and if you don't dare to gouge out a little bit, the wound will just keep rotting, and you will never be able to truly heal."
She said it to Ruan Ningwei, but also to herself. She didn't know if she was too greedy. She used to think that as long as Ji Yuyan was good, she could do anything. Later, when she saw that Ji Youyan had changed, she had to go one step further, trying to dig out all the poisonous sores between them.
Grudges that persist in the heart will rot like sores. If you don't end the past well, how can you start again
"Life is so long, do you really want to set up a dungeon for a person and stop moving forward? Give yourself a chance?"
"Is Teacher Ji your prison?" Ruan Ningwei asked unexpectedly, twisting the corners of her clothes with five fingers.
This time, it was Jingxiu's turn to be stunned.
After a long while, Jingxiu replied tenderly, "She is different."
"She is my Anle Township."
The author has something to say: Today is also Teacher Jing who is protecting her little rough wife.
Jing Miaomiao: She can only question me, not others.
