"Sister Ruoxi, I heard Sensen say that you and Mr. Huo are engaged, is it true?" The next morning, Xiao Ding pulled Xuan Ruoxi as if he had discovered a new world.
Xuan Ruoxi didn't intend to hide it from her, and said slightly uncomfortably: "Yes."
"Wow! Sister Ruoxi, you are so good. You actually managed to win the famous golden bachelor Mr. Huo. I really admire you so much." Xiao Ding danced exaggeratedly, and Xuan Ruoxi even blushed and thickened her neck.
.
"Xiao Ding, are you exaggerating?"
"I'm not exaggerating, not at all. Mr. Huo, who is that? That's a famous and powerful figure in the industry. Oh my god! I can't believe that my sister Ruoxi can actually marry a handsome man.
Jin, but also the infatuated and dedicated Mr. Huo. It's like winning a special prize lottery. It's paid out." Xuan Ruoxi really couldn't laugh or cry. Facing the exaggerated Xiao Ding, she could only keep shaking her head.
"I wonder who will dare to bully the children in our orphanage in the future. With just one phone call, Mr. Huo can beat them all."
"Xiao Ding, don't do this nonsense." Xuan Ruoxi didn't want too many people to know. She didn't agree because of Mr. Huo's reputation.
"Okay then." Xiao Ding put away her emotions, and Xuan Ruoxi felt the need to warn her.
"Xiao Ding, I hope you keep it secret. At least not now."
"Why?" Xiao Ding didn't understand. Isn't it a good thing to be engaged to Mr. Huo?
"Master Huo's status is special, and I am not from a noble family. In order to have unnecessary influence, I hope that as few people as possible will know about it."
"I understand. Sister Ruoxi, I will definitely keep it a secret." But this kind of thing will not be kept secret if Xuan Ruoxi wants to keep it secret.
The first person to know was Lin Xi. She had been paying attention to the dynamics of Huo Jiyun and Xuan Ruoxi. After the last plan to use Song Yi to attack Xuan Ruoxi came to nothing, she became more and more unwilling.
After learning that Xuan Ruoxi was actually engaged to Huo Jiyun, she used her family's power to plan a banquet. She wanted to attack Huo Jiyun during the banquet.
Huo Jiyun can only belong to her, Lin Xi, and Xuan Ruoxi is just an orphan girl from an orphanage. I thought Huo Jiyun might just treat her for fun, but I didn't expect them to be serious.
"What did you say? Brother Huo wants the woman from the orphanage to get engaged?" Ji Xiangxiang was specially called. Lin Xi planned to find a helper and, if necessary, a scapegoat.
Ji Xiangxiang is a relative of the Huo family, and her father has also worked for the Huo family for many years. If Ji Xiangxiang makes any mistakes, it is safer than her. After making up her mind, she asked Ji Xiangxiang to come out and plan together.
"What did you want to do?" Ji Xiangxiang stared at Lin Xi in disbelief.
"Why, are you scared?" Lin Xi looked at Ji Xiangxiang unblinkingly with her narrow red eyes.
"No, that's Mr. Huo. I'm afraid that if I--" I will be dead, she didn't dare to say anything else.
"Hmph, what are you afraid of? I just ask you to be an eyeliner, and I will do all the other things."
"But -" Seeing that Ji Xiangxiang was still hesitating, Lin Xi simply said: "You're just afraid. Huh, yes, a foxy girl like Xuan Ruoxi is indeed incomparable to you and me." Lin Xi deliberately used words to stimulate her, Ji Xiangxiang
Not stupid, Mr. Huo had already warned her during the last video.
But when she thought that Xuan Ruoxi would become the fiancée of her love interest, she became extremely angry. She was so excited that she agreed to Lin Xi's request without hesitation.
After meeting Huo Jiyun at the Huo family villa a few days ago, I haven't seen him come to the orphanage for three days in a row, but I still get calls every day.
"Sister Ruoxi, do you think Mr. Huo was too busy preparing for your engagement that he didn't come to see you?" Xiao Ding was full of curiosity.
"I don't know, maybe. What's wrong? Do you miss a certain tall boy?" Xuan Ruoxi was talking about Sensen.
"Ah, I didn't." Xiao Ding denied with a blushing face. Xuan Ruoxi glanced at her and kept clicking her tongue.
"Oh, I'm going to see if the children are asleep." Xiao Ding ran away embarrassed. Xuan Ruoxi shook her head without smiling.
A girl's feelings are always poetry.
"Director Xuan, Miss Wei is here and she is looking for you." A volunteer came in and spoke to Xuan Ruoxi.
"Miss! Did she say what her name was?"
"Say her surname is Lin!" When she came to the door and saw the person coming, Xuan Ruoxi saw Lin Xi.
"Dean Xuan, hello, long time no see. You are still so beautiful." Lin Xi was still wearing high-end brand names today, and the makeup on her face was much lighter. But she was clearly smiling, but the smile did not reach her eyes.
Xuan Ruoxi walked over and nodded politely.
"It turns out to be Miss Lin."
"President Xuan is very charming. I heard that you are not only outstanding in literary talent, but also a musical genius. I think it would be a pity if someone like you doesn't show it in front of others."
"Miss Lin, what's the matter with you?" Xuan Ruoxi frowned impatiently as Lin Xi's words didn't sound like compliments.
"Well, I'm here today to invite you to my birthday party. As you know, I, the Lin family, have some respect in Licheng. As for me, I have just returned to China not long ago. Now I have just set up a company. For communication
There is still a need for it. So I take this opportunity to leave a good impression in front of everyone.
As the director of the welfare home, doesn't Dean Xuan also need to attend some public places? Just in time, I also need your help. Please give me a favor and attend my birthday party in three days." Lin Xi said a lot.
The words sounded like good words but not like good words. Then he handed out a red invitation.
Xuan Ruoxi looked at the invitation and did not accept it immediately. Instead, she pondered for a moment. Why should she be invited to Lin Xi's birthday? Their relationship was not that of a friend. She could even feel Lin Xi's hostility.
"This may disappoint Miss Lin. First of all, thank you for your invitation, but I don't think there is anything we can get along with. So I'm sorry, I can't participate."
"Director Xuan, we are not good friends, but you are the director of the welfare home and a talented woman. If you can show your skills at my birthday party, then I am sure you can get at least five million.
Donations. I'm not bragging. Most of my friends are wealthy people from abroad. They are very supportive of charitable causes. Don't you want to start a charity foundation? Just take this opportunity to publicize it.
I don’t mind if you borrow my space for marketing.”
"Why do you have to invite me?" Xuan Ruoxi is not an idiot. She has long been accustomed to the tricks between women. Lin Xi would not be so kind, there must be some purpose.
"Didn't I say that I want to use Dean Xuan's talent to add a charitable touch to my birthday banquet. It is also to help my own career to a higher level." In other words, she, Lin Xi, wants to be a good person.
, do good deeds and gain fame.
"Well, without wasting your precious time, the invitation has been sent. I'm waiting for you." After Lin Xi finished speaking, she was about to turn around and leave, but just as she took a step, she turned back and added: "Oh, yes.
Yes. I forgot to tell you. Mr. Huo will also be there that night." After saying this with a smile, she turned and left again.
Huo Jiyun will also go! Looking down at the invitation in his hand, Xuan Ruoxi fell into deep thought.
[Let’s have dinner together tonight.] After Huo Jiyun finished the meeting, he sent a message to Xuan Ruoxi. After waiting for a while, he didn’t receive a reply from Xuan Ruoxi, so he called her directly.
"Hello!"
"Ruoxi, did you see the message I sent you?"
"I haven't watched it yet."
"Well, then please take a look and reply to me before hanging up." After hanging up the phone, Xuan Ruoxi opened the message bar. After seeing his message, she replied "OK"
Huo Jiyun raised the corners of his mouth and replied "Wait for me to pick you up"
"I'll have dinner with Ruoxi tonight, you don't have to wait for me, just go straight to get off work." Huo Jiyun said to Sensen who came in. Sensen's mouth cracked and he nodded. He didn't need to accompany Mr. Huo, he could go find Xiao Ding.
"Hey, Xiao Ding, are you free tonight? Let's have dinner together."
"No, I have to take care of the kids."
"Then I'll pack it for you."
"Okay." He hung up the phone and strode away with a smile.
In a romantic western restaurant, Huo Jiyun is dressed in a suit and leather shoes, and his upright temperament is more eye-catching than a movie star.
Xuan Ruoxi held the knife and fork and concentrated on eating the steak.
They have always had a tacit understanding of eating without saying anything.
During this period, Huo Jiyun would look up at her from time to time, remembering the way she smiled with crooked eyebrows that day in the villa, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up.
He didn't speak slowly until he had eaten seven-tenths of the food on his plate.
"Ruoxi, you've been too busy these days, do you blame me?" He wanted to take advantage of the engagement money to take care of all the company matters last night. He wanted to stay with her after the engagement.
"How could it be? You are the general manager of a large consortium, not the owner of a canteen." It is normal to be busy. The emperor has many things to do every day.
"My Ruoxi is really considerate. It makes me extremely happy and a little bit disappointed."
"I haven't finished eating yet." Xuan Ruoxi didn't want him to be too nauseous, so she used an excuse to change the topic.
"Oh, okay, let's talk about it after we finish eating." Huo Jiyun obediently stopped talking and quickly finished his meal.
Soon, Xuan Ruoxi also finished eating. Huo Jiyun paid the bill and left the restaurant holding Xuan Ruoxi's hand. They looked intimate and did not know that their every move was being followed.
Walking hand in hand on the road, Xuan Ruoxi was fine, but Huo Jiyun could see that she seemed to have something on her mind.
"Ruoxi, you are very silent today. What's the matter?"
"It's okay, I'm just a little tired."
"Then let's go back."
--
"Ruoxi, thank you for agreeing to get engaged to me. Have a good rest these days. You don't have to worry about what happens next. I will be with you." Xuan Ruoxi returned to the room and remembered what Huo Jiyun said before leaving.
Opening the drawer, there was a notebook and a sandalwood box inside. The notebook was left behind by the former Xuan Ruoxi. The box was a relic of the dean.
Not long ago, when she was sorting out the dean's belongings, she unexpectedly found a small key. The size seemed to match the key of the combination lock in the book.
Opening the lid of the box, there were some personal belongings of Xuan Ruoxi when she was still in her infancy. In addition to the clothes that wrapped her, there were also some fragmentary pendants. An old silver lock and an anklet with a bell.
Gently looking at the silver lock, there were some carvings and words on it. Regarding these relics, the dean said that she had also visited the local villagers. Some said they were things left by the older generation, while others said they were all rural customs.
Children will wear some gold, silver and bronze items when they are born. You can’t find anything just by looking at these, because they are too common. Children in every family basically have them. Later, the director gave up because he was busy with the construction of the welfare home.
Looking for the mystery of Xuan Ruoxi’s life experience.
