Chapter 381: The Arrogant and Rich Family + the Silent and Abstinent Bodyguard 27
"Do you know how fast Huo Zhao learns? He is even more decisive than my father in doing things. Many old guys on the board of directors are so angry about him that they jump to their feet."
Ruan Ruan was really bored recently, so she didn't feel annoyed listening to her chattering, and responded, "Very good."
Upon seeing this, Zhu Xingyao leaned close to her ear and gossiped mysteriously, "Recently a lot of people have come to inquire about Huo Zhao's marriage, aren't you in a hurry?" He remembered that this girl had said that Huo Zhao was hers.
Thinking of the photos he accidentally saw on Huo Zhao’s phone last time, Zhu Xingyao chuckled.
Ruan Ruan touched Maomao's head and said lazily, "Why are you in such a hurry? Is he the only one who is popular?"
Zhu Xingyao's heart skipped a beat. Yes, how could she have forgotten.
Xu Ruanruan's family background and appearance make her more sought-after than anyone else.
She smiled and tried to make amends: "Well, I was just joking. Those people were blocked by my mother. He is so busy now that he doesn't even have time to eat. How can he have the time to think about these things?"
Seeing that Ruan Ruan still looked nonchalant and continued to pet the cat, Zhu Xingyao became anxious. However, before she could say anything, Aunt Wang came in carrying an exquisite thermal bag.
"Miss, these are the snacks sent by Third Master Ji. He said they are new products and sent them for you to try."
After saying that, he put the things out at Ruan Ruan's signal and went downstairs.
Zhu Xingyao glanced at the logo on the packaging bag. It was the one that always had a limited supply. She immediately felt alarmed. Someone was trying to steal her business!
Without waiting for Ruan Ruan to reach out to take it, she directly brought the plate in front of her.
Ruan Ruan's hand stopped in mid-air, and she looked at her in confusion:? ?
Zhu Xingyao scooped up a spoonful and stuffed it into his mouth, fearing that it would be snatched away if he was a step slower. His mouth was stuffed so hard that it was bulging, and he chewed the peony like a cow.
"Haha, well, I... I'm so hungry." Zhu Xingyao laughed and finally swallowed it, then shoveled down another big spoonful.
She eats, she wants to eat all of them. She wants to snatch people from the Zhu family? No way!
Ruan Ruan didn't understand, but she respected him.
Seeing that she was so hungry, Aunt Wang simply brought some desserts from the kitchen.
Zhu Xingyao was in a dilemma and finally left with his stomach full, holding on to the wall.
The next day, Ruan Ruan received a whole box of desserts and handmade snacks, which were naturally sent by Huo Zhao. After that, he always sent things to her from time to time, as if she had suddenly become enlightened. Of course, this is a story for later.
Just after Ruan Ruan started school, after Xu's father's day and night struggle and continuous efforts, the Gu family finally fell.
After knowing this, Xu's mother was in a very good mood. She was arranging flowers and humming a song, looking very comfortable.
Father Xu took a look at the bouquets of flowers on the counter and felt upset. These flowers were sent by that bad boy. He sent things every few days. He seemed to be treating his Xu family as a courier station.
"Old Zhao, take the vase away."
Mother Xu had just finished arranging the flowers, so she was naturally unwilling to do so. She said unhappily, "Who has offended you again? You come to me to vent your anger."
"Humph," Father Xu snorted and turned his eyes away, "Out of sight, out of mind."
Butler Zhao was in a dilemma, and finally retreated at the signal of his wife.
"Why are you arguing with a young man?" Xu's mother patted his shoulder. "He has made so many efforts for the Gu family, but he didn't take any credit for it. On the contrary, you are arguing more and more as you get older."
Father Xu: ...It hurts
He was indeed in the wrong in this regard. He owed the favor, but that didn't mean he had to repay it with his daughter.
"You, you say one thing and mean another."
Xu's mother comforted him, "Everyone has his own destiny. We can't stop it or make it happen. Don't worry about it."
Father Xu knew it very well, he just felt a little unhappy, just that little bit.
After everything calmed down, life went on and everyone seemed to have returned to their own tracks.
Ruan Ruan returned to university life. Zhu Xingyao quarreled with her from time to time. Ji Huaichuan kept a distance from her, caring for her but not overstepping the line.
The Zhu family's business has been growing bigger and bigger. In the past two years, it has developed rapidly and has shown a trend of returning to the top of the family. The most talked about person is the mysterious director and CEO.
Gender, age, and appearance are all mysteries, but the more mysterious they are, the more they arouse people's curiosity.
Ruan Ruan looked at the push notification on her phone. The Zhu family had won a national-level project this time, and the executor behind it had once again become a hot topic.
She looked at the man next to her and said jokingly, "Boss, you are too popular on the Internet."
The man was wearing a well-made black suit, with his hair combed back, revealing a cool and cold look. He looked more fierce and mature than before, and the faint scent of cologne on his body filled the entire car, making him look very aggressive.
Ruan Ruan was watching fascinated, but he moved forward, crossed the center console, and his tall figure seemed to cover her completely in his arms. The man's cool and pleasant breath approached, and Ruan Ruan's breathing stagnated, the smile on her face faded, and her heart couldn't help but beat fast.
The man curled his lips into a smile, raised his hand to grab the seat belt beside her, helped her adjust to a comfortable position, and then sat back.
The man slowly started the car and said nonchalantly, "Don't trust anything on the Internet."
Ruan Ruan was still sulking about her previous embarrassment, so she turned her head and ignored him.
Huo Zhao didn't dare to anger the other person, so he quickly took out a small cake to appease the other person. Ruan Ruan simply ignored him.
Now it is May, and after taking graduation photos, Ruan Ruan will officially graduate. Today is Huo Zhao celebrating for her in advance.
Speaking of it, the two met only a few times in the first year after Huo Zhao returned to the Zhu family, and they were basically just netizens. It was also during that year that he grew rapidly.
Only Huo Zhao himself knew how he got through that year. He had a belief in his heart and always wanted to go faster and faster.
He couldn't wait to be by her side.
Fortunately, he caught up.
Huo Zhao smiled and glanced at the girl eating the cake. He seemed to taste the sweetness of the cake in his heart.
Ruan Ruan: "Are you really not going to show up?"
It’s not that Huo Zhao hasn’t thought about showing up.
However, when he just returned to the Zhu family, his father and mother never let him appear in front of the media for his safety. Later, when he participated in the company's affairs, he had to work online for the convenience of studying. Later, when he took a job in the company, he also had an exclusive elevator that went directly to the top-floor office. Except for a few secretaries and assistants around him, the only people who could contact him were a few senior executives.
Now, he also needs to find a suitable opportunity to show up.
Ruan Ruan took two bites of the cake before she remembered that she hadn’t posted today’s business photos yet, so she simply took two photos holding the cake and uploaded them directly to the platform without any photoshopping.
She has a lot of fans on her social media accounts. With the titles of Xu's daughter, wealthy heir, school beauty, etc., her updates receive tens of thousands of likes once published.
Ruan Ruan was a popular figure in school, attracting many fans and suitors, but all of them were rejected.
Rumor has it that the school beauty gets in a certain car every week. The owner of the car is still a mystery, but every car is luxurious. Some say it is the secret boyfriend, and some guess it is the family driver...
