Rebirth: Start to Save the Treasure Girl

Chapter 275 Double Standard Dad
Xue Jianfeng coughed violently and tears came out.

Just now, Yu Minlan paused when she was speaking, and his breathing also paused. And now you say this?
Isn’t it still praise?

"Uncle Xue, can I get you a glass of water?" Yu Minlan patted Xue Jianfeng's back gently.

Xue Jianfeng threw the cigarette in his hand to the ground and stomped it out, then waved his hand and said, "Ahem, can't you just say something I want to hear?"

"Uncle Xue, I really can't think of it." Yu Minlan looked helpless.

Lin Ruoxi had no dignity in front of Xue Rui. She put herself in an extremely humble position and wanted to stick to Xue Rui wholeheartedly. Whatever Xue Rui wanted, Lin Ruoxi would give it to him...

In her opinion, not knowing how to respect oneself is a shortcoming, but Xue Jianfeng's question should be about Xue Rui's interests. Lin Ruoxi's humility is an advantage for Xue Rui...

"Oh, by the way, does being introvert count?" Yu Minlan said hurriedly.

Xue Jianfeng thought about it carefully, an introvert?

It may be a disadvantage for ugly people, but for people with looks like Lin Ruoxi, being introverted means having a clean social circle and making her family feel at ease.

He shook his head slightly. Being introverted is not a disadvantage.

When Xue Rui passed by, he heard the words "Does being introvert count?" He held back his laughter and pulled Lin Ruoxi forward a few steps.

Although he didn't know the whole story, he could guess what Xue Jianfeng was asking.

If he, as an old father, knew that his son was in love and was with a beautiful girl every day, and everyone was praising the girl.

Then, my wife gave me a house...

A teenage girl who has mesmerized all the men and women around her.

The one-sided reputation is scary to think about. How good is that girl who I have never met at disguising herself?

In fact, Lin Ruoxi is just a pitiful little punching bag, and she is not without shortcomings...

However, people always prefer beauty, forgive kindness, and respect talents...

When all aspects are added together, isn't it true that Lin Ruoxi only has advantages left?
Xue Rui saw the old lady walking into the room with a cane, so he and Lin Ruoxi changed direction and went to chat with the old lady for a while.

When the old lady saw Xue Rui walk into the room and casually picked up a chair and sat opposite her, she rolled her eyes at him in annoyance.

Xue Rui grinned: "What is the old lady angry about?"

"You ask even though you already know the answer." The old lady said coldly.

"Wow, you can't read many words, but you have learned to use idioms." Xue Rui joked.

The old lady was so angry that she picked up her cane and was about to hit Xue Rui, but Lin Ruoxi hurriedly blocked Xue Rui and shouted crisply, "Grandma."

The old lady sighed and sat down on the bed. She had known that this day would come, but she didn't expect it to come so soon.

The crutch knocked "dong dong" on the marble floor tiles. She had absolutely no way to deal with Xue Rui.

Her granddaughter gave everything to Xue Rui, and has been completely controlled by Xue Rui.

"Grandma, I wanted to give it to you." Lin Ruoxi muttered softly. She knew why her grandma was angry. She had been unhappy this morning.

"Your granddaughter has tarnished my innocence. Tell me what to do." Xue Rui said while crossing his legs, as if he was coming to collect a debt.

The old lady’s eyes almost popped out of her head. How could this boy be innocent?
She didn't expect Xue Rui to restrain himself, but the look of him acting ungrateful after getting an advantage really made her deserve a beating, so she subconsciously raised her cane again.

"Grandma, if you want to vent your anger, just hit... hit me." Lin Ruoxi stood in front of Xue Rui obediently, and then whispered to Xue Rui: "Rui, I will make it up to you."

The old lady's head was buzzing after hearing this. Why was her granddaughter like this?

She smiled coldly at Xue Rui, swung the solid wooden cane vigorously, and hit Lin Ruoxi's leg hard.

Xue Rui shouted in his heart "Fuck", this old lady is fucking amazing!

When Lin Ruoxi saw her grandmother waving her cane, she closed her eyes tightly, her body straightened, as if she was ready to be beaten.

Xue Rui thought that this girl was too straightforward. She said she would be beaten if she wanted to. Wasn't this forcing him to answer the call?

Lin Ruoxi's stubborn train of thought was taken advantage of by the old lady, and she turned the tables on him.

With a "pop" sound, Lin Ruoxi's body shook violently, but there was no pain.

She slowly opened her eyes and saw Xue Rui holding a cane with his teeth bared.

"Rui, does it hurt?" Lin Ruoxi bent down in panic and hurriedly checked Xue Rui's hand.

How could she be so stupid? Xue Rui loved her very much, but she actually forgot that Xue Rui would help her block it.

She didn't know why, but at the same time as she felt heartache, a warm feeling spread in her heart.

The old lady was very proud when she pulled Xue Rui's hand, thinking that this kid must be blocked!
But now seeing her granddaughter crying with heartache, she suddenly regretted hitting Xue Rui...

The current situation is extremely unfavorable to her. She beats Xue Rui and Lin Ruoxi protects him. She beats Lin Ruoxi and Xue Rui takes the beating for Lin Ruoxi...

In this way, she became the villain who broke up the couple. Under pressure from the outside world, her granddaughter's heart would only get closer and closer to Xue Rui.

"Why are you so stupid? Where did all those books go?" the old lady cursed in a low voice.

Xue Rui was amused. Illiterate people always think that reading is omnipotent.

"Hey, I never suffer any loss. No one can stop me today." Xue Rui raised his crutch, pretending to return the beating he had just received.

The old lady sat cross-legged on the bed, unmoved. Xue Rui would definitely not do anything to her. Who was he trying to scare by pretending to be so?

However, when she turned her eyes to Lin Ruoxi, her heart suddenly skipped a beat. Would her granddaughter take it seriously?

"Xixi, don't believe this bastard. He is just trying to scare you. He doesn't dare to do anything to me." The old lady hurriedly exposed Xue Rui's true purpose.

Xue Rui thought that although the old lady was uneducated, she was very quick-witted at her age. But how could she have given birth to a granddaughter like Lin Ruoxi who was so smart?
Lin Ruoxi didn't inherit any of the old lady's advantages!

Xue Rui insisted, "See if I dare to do that. If you don't apologize today, this matter will not be over!"

The old lady was provoked by Xue Rui and her temper immediately flared up: "If you don't apologize, what can you do to me?"

When she finished speaking, she finally realized that he had fallen into Xue Rui's trap...

Lin Ruoxi burst into tears all of a sudden. She hugged Xue Rui tightly, her body trembling: "Rui, I apologize to you on behalf of grandma. I will compensate you."

Although Xue Rui often quarreled with her grandmother, this was the first time they had a physical fight, and she didn't know what to do.

Xue Jianfeng was standing outside the window at this time. He saw what happened in the room and thought to himself, is this girl really that stubborn?
How can a young man fight with an old lady who is about to die?

But that trembling look of fear was obviously an unconscious reaction of the body. Could a teenage girl pretend to do that?
Yu Minlan sighed. When Lin Ruoxi was with her in the electronics factory, she was actually quite smart.

But this is what happened in front of Xue Rui. She was too concerned and confused. When she came to her senses afterwards, she would not question Xue Rui, let alone blame him.

The old lady was suddenly upset. She took a deep breath and planned to apologize to Xue Rui to prevent her granddaughter from being toyed with by Xue Rui again.

However, Xue Rui also discovered the old lady's intention, and he said softly: "Xixi, for your sake, let it go. I won't bother with her."

Lin Ruoxi slowly took the cane from Xue Rui and kissed him softly on the lips. Her big watery eyes suddenly lit up: "Well! I'll go back and cook for you, okay?" The old lady slowly said: "Stinky boy, don't come to see me too often in the future. I can still live a few more years."

"Grandma, please don't scold Rui, okay? He came here because he cares about you. It's wrong for you to do this. He is very generous..." Lin Ruoxi put the crutches next to the old lady and whispered to her how good Xue Rui was.

Yu Minlan was already used to it. She patted her stomach and yawned. It was lunch time and the old people outside were getting ready to eat.

Xue Jianfeng looked weird. This type of girl...

He has never seen it!
But looking at Yu Minlan's calm and composed look, it seems like she is like this all the time?
Strange, so strange.

That girl kissed Xue Rui so naturally, could it be that Xue Rui had already taken advantage of her?
No wonder the old lady didn't look at him kindly just now, it turned out to be all Xue Rui's fault!

Xue Rui wiped the little girl's tears. The little girl blew her nose without caring about her image and said to the old lady crisply, "Grandma, Xue Rui and I are going back."

"Well, don't tell me about this kind of thing in the future." The old lady had a dark face. She could imagine what kind of fairy-tale life Xue Rui was living, and her granddaughter was the one who suffered.

Xue Jianfeng was squatting at the door smoking at this time. When he saw Lin Ruoxi coming out, he quickly stamped out the cigarette butt and said, "Let's go. It's time for dinner. Uncle will take you to have a meal."

Xue Rui interrupted, "I'm tired of eating here. She can cook. It's a good opportunity to go back to the old house and take a look."

Xue Jianfeng paused. It seemed that the girl just said that she wanted to cook...

"Well, uncle, what do you like to eat?" Lin Ruoxi asked.

"Either is fine." Xue Jianfeng said casually.

He felt that girls of his age often had average cooking skills. Even though he had no appetite in the morning, he still forced himself to finish the breakfast made by Gu Muxue without leaving a single bite. To be honest, he wasn't very hungry now.

The few of them returned to the familiar old neighborhood. The luxury car attracted the attention of many old neighbors. Xue Jianfeng simply lowered the window, thinking of asking the former neighbors what they thought of Lin Ruoxi.

"Jianfeng is back? I saw Xiaofang a while ago." An old lady said. After that, she saw Lin Ruoxi in the back row and said with a smile: "Xixi, where have you been in such a long time?"

Xue Jianfeng didn't expect that these people would actually take the initiative to greet Lin Ruoxi and seemed to be very familiar with her.

……

"Xiao Rui is so lucky. He can cook and repair things. It was Xixi who helped fix my old TV." said an old man passing by.

The more Xue Jianfeng listened, the more confused he became. Lin Ruoxi's reputation was too good and she was praised everywhere she went.

When they arrived at the vegetable store, Xue Rui asked Lin Ruoxi to go downstairs to buy vegetables.

"She cooks every day?" Xue Jianfeng asked in surprise.

Xue Rui did not answer, but just looked at the figure outside the car window, which caused Xue Jianfeng to look up as well.

Lin Ruoxi's method of selecting vegetables is obviously very particular, just like the aunties who hang out in the vegetable market all year round.

This was equivalent to a silent answer. Xue Jianfeng initially thought that Lin Ruoxi had arranged for Xue Rui to cook so that she could show off in front of him, but now it seems... it's just her daily routine?
He didn't know what to say for a moment. In the morning, he was still praising Gu Muxue for being willing to go into the kitchen, but this person was willing to go buy groceries...

Not long after, several people walked upstairs. Lin Ruoxi walked with a big bag in her hand, panting. Her little hands were turned white by the plastic bag.

Although Xue Jianfeng was more partial to Gu Muxue, he couldn't help but glare at Xue Rui at this time. He thought to himself, how could this boy be so tactless that he let girls do all the heavy work?
Xue Rui hurriedly reached out to take it, but Lin Ruoxi moved the bag further away: "Well, it's not heavy, it's only a few steps away."

Xue Rui spread his hands helplessly. Xue Jianfeng's eyebrows jumped when he heard this. Why did this girl exude the air of an old woman?

After entering the room, Xue Jianfeng looked inside and his thoughts were immediately pulled back to many years ago. Before he could react, he saw that Xue Rui had taken off his shoes, and Lin Ruoxi squatted down and took out two pairs of slippers and put them under their feet.

"Thank you." Xue Jianfeng was a little uncomfortable for a moment. This was not a service place, and he felt bad to be served like this.

However, he did not see any guilt on his son's face, as if he was used to it...

He looked back and saw that Lin Ruoxi had put their shoes in place.

Xue Jianfeng looked at his old furniture and appliances and thought that they were almost the same as when he lived here before. Some things were considered old when he lived here, and young people might not be able to accept them...

Now this house belongs to Lin Ruoxi, why not change the furniture?
Didn’t this girl ask Xue Rui for money?
Then what's the point of staying with Xue Rui?
His son’s biggest advantage is that he is rich!
"Uncle, wait a moment, I'll be done soon." Lin Ruoxi poured water for him and Xue Rui, then went into the kitchen to busy herself.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work." Xue Jianfeng said with a smile.

After Lin Ruoxi left, Xue Jianfeng pointed at the appliances in the room and asked, "Xiao Rui, are these old things still usable?"

"She fixed it and said it can still be used after some repair." Xue Rui said helplessly.

He had wanted to change it a long time ago, but this was Lin Ruoxi's home. The little girl didn't like new things. Instead, she liked the sense of accomplishment of repairing it, and then waiting for him to pat her on the head and praise her...

While Lin Ruoxi was cooking, Xue Jianfeng walked around the two bedrooms out of boredom. They were so simple that they didn't look like a girl's room at all. He couldn't even tell which room Lin Ruoxi lived in.

Due to professional habit, he subconsciously touched a relatively hidden corner, and his fingers were surprisingly clean, even more meticulous than those done by the professionally trained cleaning staff in the hotel...

"Dad, why are you like a detective?" Xue Rui asked.

"Hehe, I'm used to it." Xue Jianfeng said, rubbing his fingers.

Xue Rui looked at the spotless furniture around him. It should be that Lin Ruoxi had just cleaned it when she came back. Maybe she was thinking that he would come to live here...

Xue Jianfeng listened to the rhythmic "dong dong" sound of cutting vegetables in the kitchen and nodded, "Okay."

He used to be a chef, so even without entering the kitchen, he could tell from some details about Lin Ruoxi's knife skills. Although she couldn't compare with a professional chef, she was definitely better than an ordinary housewife.

Because it was already lunchtime, Lin Ruoxi cooked dishes that saved time. She did not knead the dough slowly for Xue Rui as usual, but instead made thin slices of it.

After the two of them sat for a while, Lin Ruoxi brought over four or five dishes, as well as several steaming bowls of noodles.

Xue Jianfeng nodded. This girl must be in the kitchen often. It can be seen from her cooking speed that she arranges each step reasonably, otherwise the food would not be served so quickly.

He sat in the main seat, picked up the chopsticks and tasted each dish one by one. There was no need for quality control when cooking at home, so the tastes were all different. Lin Ruoxi definitely put her heart into cooking, and he could taste it.

"Xixi, your cooking is delicious."

“However, the cooking time of this black fungus dish is not right.” Xue Jianfeng pointed at the plate. He couldn't find any other major faults.

Xue Rui's eyebrows jumped. You are so hypocritical!
What did Gu Muxue do in the morning? You were so happy there;

The food Lin Ruoxi cooks now is on another level entirely. Do you think you can enjoy it?

There's no way, that's human nature. The Gu family is well-off, and even if Gu Muxue doesn't do well, his father will subconsciously ignore it.

As for Lin Ruoxi, she had no resources around her, and not even any relatives to protect her. Xue Jianfeng subconsciously focused his attention on Lin Ruoxi herself, thus raising his requirements.

Lin Ruoxi suddenly became nervous. Xue Rui's father said her food was not tasty...

Xue Rui held Lin Ruoxi's hand under the table and patiently explained, "This is the first time I've eaten this dish, and it should be the first time she's cooked it."

He thought that if his father found fault again, he would kick her out. Why should the little girl suffer this injustice?

It’s up to you to eat it or not!
Lin Ruoxi felt Xue Rui's warm and strong palm, which gave her the courage to speak. She said softly, "Well, I heard you coughing before, and I...I heard the vegetable seller say that fungus moisturizes the lungs."

"I...I didn't do it well the first time. I will learn more next time."
