"If you don't want to eat, have a glass of milk.”
Ruoxi looked at the milk in front of her and felt a warmth in her heart. Tears almost flowed out.
"Thank you, Sister Chen." Ruoxi looked gratefully at Sister Chen, who had a simple expression on her face.
Sister Chen smiled and said," There's no need to thank me. I'm already very happy that you two don't treat me as an outsider. Actually, I heard what happened last night.”
Ruoxi looked at Sister Chen and said," I don't want to talk about what happened last night anymore. The more I feel, the more uncomfortable I feel. Sister Chen, I really don't know what to do.”Ruoxi's eyes were filled with helplessness.
Sister Chen looked at the gentle and kind woman in front of her. She had an indescribable feeling in her heart. After so many years of interaction, Sister Chen had long regarded Ruoxi as her daughter or sister. She also knew about Ruoxi's background, so she had some sympathy and love for Ruoxi. No matter how rich a person was, it would be a pity if she lacked the love of her parents since she was young. It was a kind of sadness.
" Ruoxi, actually, you don't have to be too sad. Think things through. I'm an outsider, and I can tell that Brother Yiteng can't bear to part with you. He's just muddle-headed for a moment. Who doesn't make mistakes in life? If you win, give him a chance to change. Sometimes, giving others a chance might be giving yourself a chance. The more you make a fuss, the further you might push him away. You should have a good talk with him. Don't quarrel with him.”Sister Chen said earnestly.
Ruoxi gently nodded and said," I know, I know." But I really couldn't calm myself down. The thought of Yiteng being with another woman made me feel as if my heart was being pricked by needles.
Unknowingly, Ruoxi's tears fell again.
"I understand how you feel. Who can really stay calm after such a thing happens? As long as it was a man who loved himself, he would not be able to tolerate and face his betrayal. However, no matter what, he could not treat himself badly. He should not punish himself with the mistakes of others.”Sister Chen, who was not good at talking, suddenly opened her mouth. In Ruoxi's opinion, every word he said made sense, and she could not help but have a new understanding of this nanny.
No matter when, a woman should not easily give up on herself for someone. She should keep a space for herself so that she would not be so helpless when she was injured.
The news of the war between Ruoxi and Zhang Yiteng had already spread. Both Zhao Qiuyun and Zhou Tingting knew about it, and even Su Weiwei, who was traveling in Hong Kong, knew about it.
That afternoon, Zhou Tingting drove to the Zhang family's house.
"Follow me." Zhou Tingting pulled Ruo Xi and walked out.
"Where to?" Ruo Xi asked.
"Don't worry about it. Just follow me.”Zhou Tingting pulled Ruoxin into her car without any explanation.
After getting into the car, Zhou Tingting asked Ruoxi about the quarrel between Zhang Yiteng and Ruoxi, and Ruoxi told her everything.
"How have you been these few days?" Zhou Tingting asked.
Ruoxi sighed and said," So what? We've been in a cold war. It's not that he's ignoring me, it's that I'm ignoring him. Furthermore, we've been sleeping separately. We've been in a deadlock. He's been coming home on time these few days. When he got home, his phone was still missing a few dozen. He's not as close to me as before, and he hasn't called.”
"What do you plan to do?"
Ruo Xi sighed again and said," I don't know either. Don't ask me. I feel uncomfortable just thinking about it."
Zhou Tingting simply stopped asking, and the two of them started talking about something else.
The car stopped in front of a Korean restaurant.
The two of them had a meal of Han cuisine and then returned to the car.
"Send me back." Ruo Xi said.
"Why are you going back? Continue to stare at Zhang Yiteng. You're so energetic and boring. Come with me. I'll take you to relax.”
Zhou Tingting started the car as she spoke. The car slowly left the original spot and then drove towards a bustling area.
About fifteen minutes later, the car stopped at the entrance of Xing Tiandi.
Star World was the largest entertainment place in Dongchuan. It was a good place to eat, drink, and have fun. Ordinary poor people really couldn't afford it.
"Why did you bring me here?" Ruo Xi complained.
Zhou Tingting smiled brightly." I said I'll take you out for a walk. Since you're here, go in and have some fun. Don't be so formal. It's because you're too formal that Zhang Yiteng has you. Alright, let's not talk about it anymore. Let's go."”
Zhou Tingting pulled Ruo Xi and walked inside.
As soon as they entered Star World, they were surrounded by extremely stimulating music.
There was a large round dance floor on the first floor. On the dance floor were men and women who were moving back and forth with the rhythm of the music.
She had never been to a place like this since Ruoxin and Zhang Yiteng got married. Everything here was so unfamiliar.
The surrounding tables were filled with men and women who were drinking and chatting. Under the ambiguous lights, their ambiguous expressions were reflected.
Zhou Tingting pulled Ruo Xi to an empty table.
Just as the two of them sat down, the waiter walked up and asked the two of them kindly what they wanted.
"I want a glass of whiskey and a glass of juice for her.”Zhou Tingting told the waiter that she knew that Ruoxi could not drink, so she arranged it this way.
"Tingting, why are you drinking whiskey? Can you take it?" Ruoxin asked worriedly.
Zhou Tingting smiled and said," I couldn't stand it in the past, but it doesn't matter now. Do you think everyone in the world is as timid as you?”
As the two of them were talking, the waiter brought up whiskey and a glass of orange juice. He said that the two of them would enjoy their meal and then left.
Zhou Tingting looked at the stage opposite her. Under the colorful lights, a tall boy was singing with all his might. His voice was not that bad.
"Ruoxi, what do you think of this person's singing?”Tingting asked with a smile.
Ruo Xi said that it was alright. It was too noisy here, so it was better for them to leave.
"You just arrived and you're leaving? No, there are so many handsome guys here. I'll introduce one to you later.”
Zhou Tingting left the table and walked to the second floor.
Not long after, two tall and slender boys appeared beside Zhou Tingting. Zhou Tingting took one of them, while the other followed.
Zhou Tingting pointed at a man in white and said to Ruoxi," Ruoxi, this is Jack. He's one of the most handsome men here. He has a good education and is especially good at singing. You should get to know him."”Then, Zhou Tingting pointed at Ruoxi and said to Jack," Jack, this is Ruoxi, whom I've often mentioned to you. You have to entertain her well.”It seemed that Zhou Tingting was a regular customer here.
Jack nodded and said,"Sister Tingting, don't worry."
Zhou Tingting said,"Don't worry. I'll go upstairs first, Ruoxi. You have a good chat with Jack."
As Zhou Tingting spoke, she went upstairs with the boy, while Jack sat opposite Ruoxi.
Jack took a glass of red wine and sat opposite Ruoxi. The two of them sat opposite each other, but they were silent.
Ruoxi subconsciously sized up the boy sitting opposite her.
The boy named Jack looked to be around 21 or 22 years old. He had a handsome face and wore a pair of black-rimmed glasses. He looked rather refined. Ruoxi did not have a good impression of these male companions in entertainment venues, and Jack, who was sitting opposite her, was no exception. A man who relied on selling his body to make a living was really a little unmanly.
Ruoxi only sipped her fruit juice with her eyes lowered. She knew that the boy opposite her was looking at her and she did not want to meet his eyes.
Jack saw that Rachel was always silent, so he decided to start a conversation.
"It's so boring just sitting there. I heard from Sister Tingting that Miss Ruoxi can sing and dance. Why don't we go to the dance floor and dance?”The boy looked at Ruoxi with a burning gaze.
Ruoxi shook her head and said," Don't listen to Sister Tingting's nonsense. I don't know how to do it. I don't need you to compensate me. You can leave now."”Ruoxi's tone was cold, as if she wanted to stay a thousand miles away from the other party.
The boy did not leave because of Ruoxi's rejection. Instead, he became even more interested.
"Since Miss Ruoxi is here, you should let go of yourself and have some fun, right? If Miss Ruoxi doesn't want to dance, then why don't we go and sing?”
Ruo Xi still shook her head in the face of the boy's enthusiasm.
"Does Tingting come here often?" Ruo Xi asked softly.
Jack nodded with a smile and said," Yes, Sister Tingting is very familiar with everyone here, and she gives us a lot of tips. We all hope to be selected by her. Since Miss Ruoxi and Sister Tingting are friends, you should be as carefree as her. There's no need to be so reserved. How unromantic is that?" The boy's ambiguous eyes were fixed on Ruoxi, making her feel particularly embarrassed.
Ruo Xi faced the revelry around her and the boy's ambiguous gaze, but she could not let go no matter what. She felt that this place was so oppressive. Other people's revelry became his loneliness.
"I see. Everyone has their own way of life. I don't like to come here. It's too noisy here. Sister Tingting forced me to come. Jack, you should go entertain the others.”After saying that, Ruoxin lowered her head and drank the remaining juice, completely ignoring Jack.
Jack saw how Ruoxi rejected him. No matter how attentive he was, he could not move her. Therefore, he felt that although this woman was beautiful, she was boring. Therefore, his patience was worn out and he felt particularly disappointed. Then, he stood up and said,"Alright, since Miss Ruoxi is so unromantic and doesn't give me face, I'll take my leave."
