Xia Yuanqiao closed the car door gently and angrily stepped towards the hotel lobby.
As soon as he entered, he did not go to the elevator, but just sat on the sofa in the lobby on the first floor.
He directly called Zhou Lu.
Zhou Lu was currently sitting in the cafe on the fifth floor. He was sitting in the window-facing box he had shared with Xia Yuanqiao before. Outside the window was a green space, and he could see the mountains in the distance, which was elegant and peaceful.
"Yuanqiao, have you arrived?" Zhou Lu's voice was as gentle and quiet as ever.
"I'll wait for you in the lobby on the first floor. Come down." Xia Yuanqiao's voice was cold.
"Why don't you go to the fifth floor? The lobby on the first floor is too eye-catching. I'll wait for you in the box." Zhou Lu's tone showed a hint of worry: "Yuanqiao, you don't want Miss Nie to know that you came to see me."
"It's not illegal to meet you, so why can't I let her know?" Xia Yuanqiao sneered.
"She knows?" Zhou Lu stood up from the chair fiercely: "Then you still come to me? Isn't she angry?"
"She won't be as fussy and fussy as you." Xia Yuanqiao praised Nie Jingrou in a roundabout way.
Zhou Lu's face instantly turned pale, and his voice lost its gentleness: "Since she is so nice, why did you come to see me?"
"Zhou Lu, please understand. I came to you to find your lost mobile phone. I'm not here to go on a date with you. Come downstairs and take me to that restaurant." Xia Yuanqiao reminded her of this coldly.
.
Zhou Lu took a deep breath, suppressed the discomfort in his heart, and tried his best to keep his expression as gentle as possible: "Yuanqiao, don't worry, it's a while. You go upstairs and sit down, let's talk."
"I have nothing to say to you." Xia Yuanqiao refused completely.
"I know you must have a lot to ask me. I can explain it to you, and I can also apologize to you. Can you please give me a chance?" Zhou Lu pleaded, listening carefully, and she was a little crying.
Xia Yuanqiao looked gloomy, holding his cell phone and walking towards the elevator.
The moment Zhou Lu saw him come in, he felt like he was in trouble.
"Yuanqiao..." Zhou Lu rushed over, wanting to fall into his arms as gently as before.
"Get away." Xia Yuanqiao reached out and pushed her away, not allowing her to get closer.
Zhou Lu was startled, his expression suddenly lost and sad: "You don't even want to give me a hug?"
"Zhou Lu, you are a married woman now, can you please have some moral integrity? The relationship between me and you belongs to the ex-boyfriend. If the ex-boyfriend and boyfriend meet and can do what you did, then in this society
There must have been a big mess a long time ago." Xia Yuanqiao walked to the chair indifferently and sat down, looking at Zhou Lu coldly.
Zhou Lu's face alternated between red, white, and blue.
"Yuanqiao, actually, I'm very reluctant to break up with you. I don't have much feelings for my husband. He likes me very much and has been chasing me for many years. But because my family likes him, they forced me to marry him. Yuanqiao
Qiao, you must believe me, I still like you." Zhou Luchu looked at Xia Yuanqiao pitifully, trying to regain his sympathy with her aggrieved and resentful eyes.
Xia Yuanqiao frowned. There was no joy in his eyes, only cold disgust.
"If I had known before that you were such a woman with no sense of proportion and no bottom line, I would not have liked you from the beginning. Zhou Lu, please stop pretending. I really don't like being a fool and being fooled.
It feels like someone is being lied to." After Xia Yuanqiao regained consciousness, he was no longer fooled.
Zhou Lu trembled violently. Apparently, Xia Yuanqiao could no longer control her little tricks.
"Are you done? If you have nothing to say, take me to find your mobile phone." Xia Yuanqiao stood up indifferently and walked out. The next second, he pressed the mobile phone in his hand.
When he came in just now, the recording function of his mobile phone was always turned on, so he naturally recorded what Zhou Lu said just now.
Seeing that he was about to leave, Zhou Lu used her trump card and gave him a gentle hug from behind.
"Yuanqiao, don't do this, don't leave like this, please, stay with me for a while, I really miss you." Zhou Lu cried and begged.
Xia Yuanqiao was really annoyed by her tricks. He pulled her fingers away mercilessly, turned around, and looked at her coldly: "Zhou Lu, are you going to wear a hypocritical mask all your life to deceive people around you?
Everyone, you treat life as a stage and treat us all as supporting actors, right? Do you think you are the protagonist in this drama? Can you take the lead?
You are wrong to guide the direction of all plots. You are just testing human nature too much. But let me tell you, human nature is like the sun in the sky. You cannot look directly at it. I don’t pity you now, but I sympathize with your husband. He also looks like a
A promising young man with integrity, ambition, and ideals, but because he married you, he might become a joke."
Zhou Lu trembled fiercely and looked at Xia Yuanqiao in shock. His words were sharp and sharp, as profound as a knife, splitting open her well-disguised mask.
"Xia Yuanqiao, what do you mean?" Zhou Lu was angry and asked in a sharp voice: "You kept saying that you would love me forever and that no matter what mistakes I made, you would forgive me unconditionally. Are these words true?
You said it."
"Yes, I regret saying these words now. I regret pretending to be tolerant and generous. The mistakes you made are not worthy of forgiveness, and you as a person are not worthy of love. Zhou Lu, as long as you return my photo to me
, let’s just be strangers, I don’t want to have to deal with you and your husband’s affairs anymore, you
You can continue to live with your husband, but the prerequisite is that you must learn to love and respect him, instead of treating him as a tool like me, a stepping stone, just to enable you to climb higher and see further."
Xia Yuanqiao looked at this woman and realized that it was really sad for a man to be attached to her.
"You don't need to worry about my affairs. Even if you don't tell me, I will still love my husband. He is much more sincere than you. Not only will he tell me, he will also do anything for me." Zhou Lu
He gritted his teeth and clenched his fists bitterly: "Let's go, I will take you to find that restaurant."
Zhou Lu stopped talking nonsense because she had nothing left to do.
Xia Yuanqiao followed her coldly, and the two of them entered the elevator.
Zhou Lu had a resentful expression on his face, and Xia Yuanqiao also had a sullen face.
When the elevator door was about to open, Zhou Lu's sharp eyes saw a woman sitting on the sofa next to the hall. She suddenly turned around and ran directly into Xia Yuanqiao's arms.
"Yuanqiao, I was wrong, I was really wrong. I accept everything you said about me just now. Let us have a good ending." Zhou Lu took the initiative to hug Xia at the elevator door.
Yuan Qiao, his voice was very sincere.
Xia Yuanqiao was a little stunned. He didn't expect this woman to admit her mistake.
However, it was too late, he had long disliked her apology.
"Let go." Xia Yuanqiao shouted coldly. At this moment, he saw Nie Jingrou walking out of the pillar behind Zhou Lu.
Xia Yuanqiao's expression froze and he pushed Zhou Lu away fiercely.
Zhou Lu's lips curved into a smile of success, and he turned around, pretending that he had just discovered Nie Jingrou.
"Miss Nie... why are you here?" Zhou Lu looked panicked, then kept combing the hair around his ears and said hurriedly: "Miss Nie, Yuanqiao and I are not what you saw.
That way, we just..."
"Shut up." Xia Yuanqiao shouted at her coldly, forbidding her to continue acting.
Zhou Lu's eyes turned red and tears welled up in her eyes. She covered her lips and turned her back to Nie Jingrou.
Nie Jingrou looked at the two of them blankly, the light in her eyes gradually dimming.
Xia Yuanqiao walked over hurriedly and asked in a low voice: "Why are you here?"
Nie Jingrou lowered her eyes and laughed at herself: "Of course I followed you."
Xia Yuanqiao immediately explained: "She took the initiative to rush over just now. I didn't hug her. Don't get me wrong."
"Don't you blame me for following you?" Nie Jingrou raised her head and looked at him, thinking that he would be angry. Why did she follow him?
Xia Yuanqiao shook his head: "No, if you come here, doesn't it prove that you care about me?"
The light in Nie Jingrou's eyes gradually condensed again, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Since you believe in me, then I also believe in you."
Xia Yuanqiao nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhou Lu, who was acting next to him, heard what they were saying and turned around with a surprised expression.
Nie Jingrou immediately said in a cold voice: "Zhou Lu, you lose."
Zhou Lu froze and his face turned pale.
Xia Yuanqiao looked at Nie Jingrou in shock, then looked at Zhou Lu angrily: "Jingrou, what are you talking about?"
Nie Jingrou said with self-reproach: "She said she wanted to make a bet with me before, betting that you would come back to her. Although I didn't agree to the bet with her, I still wanted to test you. I'm sorry that I didn't tell you in advance.
You talk about this."
Xia Yuanqiao stared at Zhou Lu angrily: "Is there something wrong with you? You are a married woman. Why do you always alienate other people's feelings? Are you addicted?"
This was the first time Zhou Lu was scolded like this by Xia Yuanqiao. To be honest, she was quite embarrassed.
Xia Yuan Hashimoto is a very cultivated man, and she can force him to curse, which shows that her behavior is really infuriating.
"Didn't she also agree to bet with me? Why didn't you scold her?" Zhou Lu sneered.
Xia Yuanqiao gritted his teeth and looked at Zhou Lu: "If you hadn't provoked her, she wouldn't have bet with you at all. Just now she was thinking about letting you and your husband live a good life, but you really disappointed me.
In this case, I should let your husband listen to what you just said."
Zhou Lu's expression was immediately frightened, and his anger rose: "Xia Yuanqiao, what do you mean?"
Xia Yuanqiao raised his mobile phone: "You just said that you can't let me go and still love me. You also said that your family forced you to marry your husband. Otherwise, we should confront your husband and take a look at you.
If so, how much is true and how much is false.”
"No... no, Xia Yuanqiao, I was wrong, don't let him know." Zhou Lu was so frightened that she rushed over to snatch his phone away. However, she jumped up and couldn't touch the phone.
Nie Jingrou's eyes were stunned, and she suddenly raised her lips and laughed. It seemed that Xia Yuanqiao was not that stupid anymore.
I finally knew how to take advantage of this woman.
"Please, don't let him know that he is a very simple person, he will be in pain." Zhou Lu suddenly started crying and covered his face, as if he was crying extremely sadly: "Xiao Cheng is my choice.
Yes, it was not my family who forced me to marry him, I love him very much."
When Xia Yuanqiao heard this, he felt mixed emotions in his heart.
Nie Jingrou glanced around and saw someone approaching, and immediately said to Zhou Lu: "Don't make trouble here, isn't it embarrassing enough? If what we made today is posted online, I'm afraid all three of us will be caught online.
Violent."
Xia Yuanqiao was not afraid of being laughed at, but Nie Jingrou had a special status and he didn't want her to be hurt.
"Jingrou, let's go." Xia Yuanqiao said immediately.
"No, I haven't got your photo back yet. Let's go to the fifth floor, find a private room, and have a good chat." After Nie Jingrou said that, she directly took Xia Yuanqiao's hand and entered the elevator.
Zhou Lu followed in crying.
On the fifth floor, Nie Jingrou entered a private room directly, and the three of them sat on the sofa. When the waiter brought water in, she felt that the atmosphere here was strange and suffocating, so she hurried out.
Nie Jingrou took a sip of ice water, her eyes seemed to be stained with frost, and she stared at Zhou Lu: "You didn't lose your phone, did you?"
Zhou Lu closed his eyes and nodded feebly: "No, I lied to you."
Xia Yuanqiao slapped his palm on the table: "You vicious woman."
Zhou Lu opened his eyes and stared at him with a sneer: "Xia Yuanqiao, you have finally learned to be smart. In fact, I think this is a negative teaching material. It also makes you think more about women. Don't be stupid again in the future.
I believe that all women are as good as your mother."
"Don't mention my mother." Xia Yuanqiao scolded angrily.
Zhou Lu shrugged his shoulders: "Actually, your mother is quite good. When I rejected your proposal, she came to the school to see me several times, and also gave my colleagues a lot of gifts, asking them to help persuade me.
Ha, your stupidity must be hereditary..."
"Pah!" Before Zhou Lu could finish his words, he received a heavy slap on the face.
"Nie Jingrou, you hit me?" Zhou Lu couldn't believe it and covered his face.
Nie Jingrou shook her hand coldly: "Sorry, I couldn't hold it back. He is a man. Men don't hit women, but women are different."
"You..." Zhou Lu was furious. Nie Jingrou showed no mercy just now and slapped her so hard that half of her face was numb.
A cold light flashed in Nie Jingrou's eyes: "The slap is also to make you remember the lesson this time. It's okay to lie to others, but it's not okay to lie to me. If you dare to pester my boyfriend again in the future, don't blame me for not reminding you.
, next time, it won’t be as simple as a slap in the face.”
"Are you threatening me? Do you believe it or not..." Zhou Lu became mute in the middle of speaking.
"What do you believe? I just learned your tricks and applied them in a practical way." Nie Jingrou disagreed.
Xia Yuanqiao saw Nie Jingrou's quarrel skills from the side. His back trembled and he decided not to quarrel with her in the future, because a gentleman only talks but doesn't do anything, but a woman... may not.
