Rebirth: Start to Save the Treasure Girl

Chapter 119: Confession Hidden in the Photo Album
"Mom, put down what you have in your hand first."

There were many shoe prints on Xue Rui's buttocks, and his calves were throbbing from being hit by the broom.

As for why his upper body wasn't hit, he thought it had something to do with Lin Ruoxi's sweater...

"Hurry up and tell me!" Ren Qunfang said breathlessly.

She was almost tired of fighting.

Xue Rui then found a safer place and began to explain: "Chen Tingting is..."

He explained how he and Chen Tingting met and what had happened to him.

However, Ren Qunfang frowned and said, "Why would you accept someone's things if I don't like them?"

"She asked her father to give it to me, so is it okay for me not to accept it?" Xue Rui was also speechless.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to refuse, but many times he has no way, or even no chance to refuse.

Moreover, his attitude was already very clear, but Chen Tingting just kept pestering him and was even more shameless than him.

"I treat Chen Tingting as my sister. I have no interest in her at all." Xue Rui said firmly.

"That's better." Ren Qunfang glared at Xue Rui.

She is so angry that her teeth are itching.

The old Gu family’s daughter is a good one. It’s very prestigious to take her out, and she looks very much like her when she was a child, which makes her feel close to her.

But she liked Lin Ruoxi more, and every time she saw Lin Ruoxi, she couldn't help but feel pity for her.

She also understands her son's personality, and she thinks Lin Ruoxi is the most suitable candidate.

But the boy in my family is blatantly trying to play both sides, and now there is another one called Chen Tingting...

She paused for a while and felt that she should beat Xue Rui again, otherwise she was afraid that Xue Rui would not have a deep understanding of today.

Just when Ren Qunfang was thinking of a reason to take action, Xue Yao came down from the stairs. She took a box of ice cream from the refrigerator and started digging with a spoon.

She noticed that her mother and Xue Rui were staring at her, and couldn't help asking, "Are you guys eating?"

Xue Yao swallowed the food in her mouth with a gulp: "What's wrong?"

She had noticed a long time ago that her mother had been looking at her in a strange way recently.

But she thought about it for a long time and still didn't know where the problem lay.

She had some impression of that look, as if that was how her mother used to look at her brother.

There was a hint of disappointment in the helplessness.

A feeling of grievance surged in her heart, and she scooped a few more spoonfuls of ice cream.

Xue Yao felt that this winter was particularly long and her stomach was very cold.

After Xue Yao went upstairs, Ren Qunfang held her forehead.

There was no comparison before. She felt that her daughter was impeccable and she felt proud to talk about it every time she played cards with others.

But now... there are too many girls around Xue Rui.

Gu Muxue often came to Yaoyao's house to play, and she also often went to sit with Lin Ruoxi.

Over time, she subconsciously compared these girls with her own daughter.

She discovered that Xue Yao didn't seem to have any special talents at all...

There is no need to mention Lin Ruoxi and Gu Muxue's achievements.

She just asked Xue Rui, even Chen Tingting was transferred from the key high school in the city.

As for other aspects... for Xue Yao, it was almost a dimensionality reduction attack.

Gu Muxue is versatile, well-educated and sensible.

Lin Ruoxi is virtuous, sensible and gentle.

Even Chen Tingting, whom I had never met before, was good at making dumplings.

In comparison, Xue Yao is just a loser who does nothing but eat and sleep, and plays games when he gets up.

She's so old now, but even her underwear needs to be washed by a nanny.

Xue Rui saw what his mother was thinking and reminded her, "Mom, you can't compare them like that. They call you auntie, but Yaoyao calls you mom."

Ren Qunfang was stunned and felt that what her son said made sense.

She looked at Xue Rui, touched her sweater, and said with a smile: "Actually, Xixi can also call me mom."

Xue Rui felt very uncomfortable, he felt that there was no point in talking about this topic anymore.

He changed the subject: "It is said that parents are the life teachers of their children, teaching by example."

Ren Qunfang nodded: "After reading for a few days, your words are indeed more advanced. What do you want to say?"

Xue Rui cleared his throat: "Mom, let me first make it clear that what I am going to say next is not directed at anyone, nor does it mean any disparagement. I am just stating an objective fact. The following opinions..."

Xue Rui habitually put on a thick layer of armor for himself first.

"Hurry up and tell me!" Ren Qunfang was completely confused.

Xue Rui said in a pertinent tone: "If, I mean if."

"If a mother gets up every day and lies on the sofa, goes shopping and plays mahjong, do you think her daughter will follow her..."

Ren Qunfang's face darkened instantly. What if? Wasn't this referring to her?

Xue Rui was indirectly scolding her for being lazy and gluttonous?

She bent down slightly and picked up the broom on the ground.

Xue Rui had already noticed this and ran away: "Mom, I'm not talking about you, I'm just making an analogy."

Fortunately, his house was relatively big, so Ren Qunfang was unable to catch up with him.

Ren Qunfang stood at the stairs and knocked on the handrail with a broom. She felt that Xue Rui was so irritating!
But after thinking about it carefully, it seemed to be true. She murmured, "Is Yaoyao influenced by me?"

When Xue Rui passed by Xue Yao's room, he didn't know whether to go in and comfort her.

He thought about it and felt that Xue Yao was rather slow-witted and careless, and might forget about it in a few days.

Besides, his mother is not useless except for her beauty.

Ren Qunfang has a clear understanding of herself, and what she says is what she listens to advice.

Xue Rui walked into his room and saw Xue Yao sitting on his bed eating ice cream.

"Get off!" Xue Rui couldn't help it, and a few drops of sticky ice cream dripped onto his bed sheets.

If the lady who cleans the room sees it tomorrow, those who don’t know will think he has done something!

Xue Yao handed Xue Rui an apple with a smile: "Brother, you will be in school on Christmas Eve in a few days, I will give you an apple first." "Oh, go down!"

Xue Rui picked up Xue Yao and pushed him out of his room.

After closing the door, Xue Rui picked up the apple, smiled, and took a bite.

Then I found that the inside of the apple was black and it was rotten...

Xue Rui immediately spat out what was in his mouth and felt nauseous.

After carefully examining the skin of the apple, he found nothing unusual; it was just a coincidence.

He changed his bed sheets and cleaned up the trash can.

Now that the room has been cleaned up, you might as well sort out the things that were hidden under the bed.

Xue Rui crawled under the bed and took out the things he had hidden before.

"This videotape is definitely not mine! I watched it online and downloaded it to my hard drive at most. Who wants to slander me?"

Xue Rui broke all the CDs that were not suitable for children, thought for a while, found a marker to cover the covers, and threw them into the trash can.

Although he has a bad memory, it is impossible that he has no impression of the thing at all. This thing is definitely not his.

The point is, the cover wasn't to his taste.

After searching for a while, he took out a thick photo album.

Gu Muxue wanted to look at his photo album that day. Was there something in it that made Gu Muxue concerned?

Xue Rui wiped off the dust and slowly opened the photo album.

There was no difference between the album and Xue Yao's, except for a few more photos of him in school.

He and Gu Muxue were in the same class in elementary school, and their photo together was only on their elementary school graduation certificates.

Unfortunately, in this kind of class photo, you can only see everyone’s heads.

Continue flipping back to the pages, and you’ll reach the junior high school era.

Xue Rui was surprised to find that he actually had a photo with Gu Muxue?

But why is there a light bulb like Qiu Mengze in it?
The dusty memories gradually loosened, and Xue Rui remembered some things.

At that time, he and Gu Muxue were not in the same class, but Qiu Mengze and Gu Muxue were in the same class.

When you graduate, you can pay a photographer to take individual photos of you.

Qiu Mengze pulled him together to take the photo.

Xue Rui guessed that it was possible that Gu Muxue asked Qiu Mengze to call him, but the slow-witted Qiu Mengze did not understand this meaning.

Xue Rui didn't understand it at that time, and thought it was his good brother who asked him to take pictures together.

So, in the photo, he was hugging Qiu Mengze's neck, and the two of them were laughing heartily, while Gu Muxue was standing quietly aside, looking at the camera with a smile.

"Gu Muxue must have paid for the photos."

Xue Rui muttered something, pulled the photo out of the album, and wanted to take a closer look.

Many photos have words or dates on the back, and I don’t know what was written on the back of this photo.

Xue Rui turned over and took a look, and was stunned.

The first line was written with "Xue Rui" in ballpoint pen, followed by a comma.

Next was a line of light yellow handwriting: Hope we can be together forever.

Putting them together seems like a confession.

Xue Rui had been taking lessons from Gu Muxue for such a long time, he definitely wouldn't have made a mistake with the handwriting; it was definitely written by that little girl.

But he was not blind back then, and the words were written in large letters, so it was impossible for him not to see them.

Xue Rui pinched his eyebrows, he really had no impression at all.

But this line of words couldn't have appeared out of thin air...

After thinking for a long time, Xue Rui still couldn't figure out what was going on, so he simply took the photo to ask Xue Yao for advice.

Only little girls know what's going on with little girls.

If Xue Yao didn't know either, he would go to school and ask other girls.

"Yaoyao, I remember there wasn't this line of words before, why did it appear out of nowhere now?"

Xue Rui showed the back of the photo to Xue Yao.

"Brother, which blind person confessed to you?" Xue Yao was surprised and wanted to turn over to see the front, but was stopped by Xue Rui.

"Analyze the situation first." Xue Rui gritted his teeth.

Are you blinded by his love for you? What kind of words did Xue Yao say?

He found that his sister didn't seem surprised, and she should know the reason.

"This was written with an invisible pen."

"Invisible pen?" Xue Rui looked confused.

Xue Yao took out a pen from a pile of stationery, drew a few strokes on the paper, blew it dry, and showed it to Xue Rui.

Xue Rui felt that apart from a faint water mark, he really couldn't see anything. Perhaps everything would be gone after it dried.

Xue Yao took the ultraviolet light on the pen cap and shone it, and the handwriting was clearly visible under the light.

"This……"

Xue Rui suddenly felt that Gu Muxue also had the potential to work in the Security Bureau.

"However, this pen has a disadvantage. It will no longer be invisible after a long time." Xue Yao sighed.

"Why, have you confessed to someone too?" Xue Rui asked with narrowed eyes.

"I was caught writing bad things about my teacher. It's so embarrassing..." Xue Yao's face was full of regret.

She and her classmates used to write bad things about the teacher in their textbooks, thinking that only she and her deskmate knew this little secret. So every time she took her textbooks to the teacher for inspection, she felt secretly delighted, as if she was scolding someone in person without the person being scolded being aware of the situation.

As a result, the invisible pen became visible over time, and the teacher caught it red-handed...

Xue Rui had a smile on his face, he finally understood.

Why does Gu Muxue care so much about his photo album?
The girl wanted to express her feelings but was too proud, so she used this method that only she knew, thinking she could hide it from Xue Rui.

But later, Gu Muxue discovered that this so-called "invisible pen" was not completely invisible, and she was worried that Xue Rui would discover the words written on the back of the photo.

So, Gu Muxue wanted to look at his photo album that day in order to "destroy the evidence".
