Rebirth: Start to Save the Treasure Girl

Chapter 277 Lin Ruoxi Five Minutes Later
Xue Rui fell silent for a moment. His original intention was to make Lin Ruoxi act pitifully so that Xue Jianfeng would not bother the little girl in the future.

But... I don’t know if the little girl didn’t understand his joke, or if she was deliberately trying to prove her feelings to Xue Jianfeng. What she said next was completely beyond his expectations.

Xue Jianfeng lit another cigarette. He didn't know what to do. He had planned to meet Lin Ruoxi's family, but it turned out that Lin Ruoxi's family only had an old lady, who was the kind of person who didn't keep her word. She didn't treat him well from beginning to end...

In other words, as long as this girl is determined, he has no way to stop her, and his son obviously won't listen to him...

"Oh~" Xue Jianfeng sighed. He really couldn't sit still.

He finally realized that this girl was stubborn and would not change her mind once she made up her mind about something or someone.

Xue Jianfeng looked at his watch and said, "I'm leaving now. I have something else to do at the store."

"Uncle, I have a gift for Auntie." Lin Ruoxi hurried to the corner to pick up the big box.

Xue Jianfeng glanced and motioned Xue Rui to take it.

Xue Rui took the box. He thought Xue Jianfeng must have something to say to him.

He whispered to Lin Ruoxi, "Don't send me off. Just wait up there."

Lin Ruoxi nodded obediently and hurried to the entrance to put out their shoes.

Xue Jianfeng scratched his head, wondering what this was all about. Just as he walked to the door, he saw a photo that was turned upside down...

He thought there had never been such a large photo in his home before, so he opened it and saw that it was a man's posthumous photo.

"I'm... sorry." Lin Ruoxi said hurriedly.

She knew Xue Rui didn't like to see this kind of thing, but grandma would put it up when she was at home, and she forgot to take it away when she cleaned the house yesterday.

Now she said sorry to Xue Jianfeng. She knew that this was Uncle Xue's former home, and she felt a little guilty about placing the portrait in someone else's home.

Xue Jianfeng knew that he had no way to resolve the relationship between them, so he focused his attention on Lin Ruoxi alone...

This girl is really pitiful. She is only a few years older than his daughter, and she has to support a family alone. How much grievance and suffering must she have endured during this period?
In his opinion, if such a beautiful girl didn't have her family to protect her, it would be hard for her to have a good ending in the future. Xue Rui did a good thing...

He took a deep breath, took out a business card from his wallet, and slowly said, "Xixi, no matter what happens to you and Xiaorui in the future, you can contact uncle if you encounter any difficulties."

Xue Rui was stunned. His father still had some conscience, but you didn't show any expression at all?
Just a phone number?
What about the meeting gift?

He stared at Xue Jianfeng's hand for a long time. He thought that he had to treat everyone equally. Even though he was a bastard, he couldn't have a red envelope on Gu Muxue's side while Lin Ruoxi had no gift at all.

Xue Jianfeng's eye twitched, and he knew that this kid was up to no good.

"Come with me to get it." Xue Jianfeng said unhappily.

When Xue Rui left, he glanced into the room, winked at the little girl, and silently called out, "Come back soon."

Lin Ruoxi tilted her head. Wasn’t it Xue Rui who went downstairs to deliver something?

As they walked up the stairs, Xue Jianfeng's steps became faster and faster, muttering, "Go ahead and do what you want, Mu Xue will kick you when she finds out."

Xue Rui did not answer, thinking that what his father said was true. What would happen if the little girl knew about this?

"Kicking you is no big deal. You made the girl sad. Old Gu didn't want to make trouble for you, but he had to beat me! Why did I give birth to a thing like you?" Xue Jianfeng looked annoyed.

Xue Rui breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it was fortunate that it was not him that was causing trouble.

Xue Jianfeng turned back abruptly and stared at Xue Rui with sharp eyes: "Did you feel relieved just now?"

Xue Rui immediately shook his head to deny: "No, I'm tired and need to take a breath."

"That would be great." Xue Jianfeng kicked the green belt, but felt it was not enough to vent his anger, so he turned around and kicked Xue Rui.

Xue Rui was kicked without paying attention, and he acted like he was lame: "Hiss~"

Even though Xue Jianfeng knew that the boy was pretending, he still felt much better: "I advise you to take it easy. School is about to start. You'd better resolve these issues in Chang'an and find a gentler solution..."

Lin Ruoxi couldn't think of any solution. That girl couldn't leave Xue Rui at all, so he could only look for her in Xue Rui and Gu Muxue...

Xue Rui ignored what Xue Jianfeng said and didn't hear it at all.

When the two walked to the trunk, Xue Rui put the box in and stood aside staring at Xue Jianfeng.

Xue Jianfeng reached for a Chow Tai Fook handbag and murmured, "It's best to prepare a small gift when meeting a woman."

Xue Rui thought, Dad must have bought it a long time ago?
Why gold jewelry? Doesn't it look a bit old-fashioned?
But no matter who wears it, it’s not a bad thing for Lin Ruoxi to look a little rich.

"Doesn't she have pierced ears?" Xue Jianfeng murmured.

Xue Rui replied decisively: "No."

Xue Jianfeng gritted his teeth and handed Xue Rui an Omega handbag: "Take it, I remember she doesn't have a watch."

Xue Rui took the bag with a smile. He opened it and took a look. Inside was a wooden box and a sales receipt for more than 9 Hong Kong dollars. He praised, "Wow, Dad is very generous!"

"Who was it originally intended for?" Xue Rui asked curiously. It was obvious that this thing was prepared in advance.

"Your mother." Xue Jianfeng said.

Xue Rui opened his mouth, then quickly closed it. He almost cursed back subconsciously...

He crumpled the receipt into a ball and threw it into the trash can downstairs. The little girl felt uncomfortable when she saw the price, even though she could find out the price herself later...

After doing all this, he subconsciously looked around. Sometimes he always felt that there was a pair of eyes behind him...

He glanced upstairs and his eyes twitched suddenly. The little girl was staring at him again.

He smiled and waved to the little girl, then climbed up the stairs in two or three steps.

Before he could even walk up the stairs, he saw the little girl waiting for him with the door open.

"My father gave it to you." Xue Rui thought that if he didn't remind him, Xue Jianfeng would probably forget about it.

However, the little girl was not in a hurry to look at the gift he brought. Instead, she bent down and patted the dust on his leg that had just been kicked by her father, and asked with a worried look on her face: "Rui, does it hurt?"

Xue Rui shook his head: "It doesn't hurt. How could he really kick me?"

Lin Ruoxi let out a light breath and pulled Xue Rui into the house.

Xue Rui opened the box and found a silver round watch, which matched the girl's low-key temperament. He put it on her hand, but she kept shaking her head: "I don't need a watch. I have a mobile phone to check the time."

Xue Rui frowned and said, "Decorations, be obedient."

He knew that although the little girl was practical, she didn't want to spend money. The money he gave Lin Ruoxi was not reduced, but increased a little...

Bank interest rates are high these days.

"Okay, I'll be obedient." Lin Ruoxi said obediently, waiting quietly for Xue Rui to adjust the time for her.

Xue Rui looked at the little girl's fair wrist and felt that the watch was in line with her temperament and was not one that was gaudy or jewel-like.

However, Lin Ruoxi set the watch five minutes ahead.

"What are you doing?" Xue Rui asked.

"Well, I want to walk in front of you so that I can wait for you in advance next time." Lin Ruoxi said with a smile.

Xue Rui smiled helplessly. Then he remembered that every time he wanted to find the little girl, the little girl would wait for him in advance and had never been late once.

It turns out that Lin Ruoxi and he live in different times.

The person standing in front of him now is Lin Ruoxi five minutes later?

"Just now I asked you to blackmail my dad, why didn't you do it?" Xue Rui felt that Lin Ruoxi had other intentions. The little girl hugged Xue Rui tightly: "I won't leave no matter how much money you give me..."

Xue Rui knew that the little girl would give this answer, so he was not surprised.

"But how much money do I have to give you... to make you stay?" Lin Ruoxi asked softly.

Xue Rui didn't know how to answer Lin Ruoxi's question for a moment, as if she was asking him which one he would choose.

He glanced at the shelf and found that the photo had suddenly disappeared. He didn't know where the little girl had hidden it.

He stood up and searched around, only to see Lin Ruoxi tiptoeing and taking the photo down from the top of the cabinet. She asked with some concern, "Are you...going to throw it away?"

Xue Rui frowned, thinking, does this girl still have feelings for this bastard?

Shouldn't it?
"Grandma will be angry if she finds out." Lin Ruoxi said weakly.

Xue Rui nodded. Why was he angry about the photo?

Every year I go to this old guy's grave and urinate as an offering.

He looked at the photo, then at the little girl, and couldn't help but sigh that this family was so good-looking.

He has such a handsome face, but he looks like this.

Lin Ruoxi tilted her head and asked, "Rui, what are you thinking about?"

Xue Rui murmured, "Nothing, I'm just curious, it seems that most beautiful women have a handsome father."

Whether it's Lin Ruoxi or Gu Muxue, they both have a handsome father, even Chen Tingting...

Lin Ruoxi pondered for a moment: "Well, facial features are dominant genes, and dominant genes have a high probability of inheritance."

"Well, people still need to read more." Xue Rui shook his head repeatedly.

He now couldn't help but worry about his future daughter. Would his behavior affect the next generation? But as long as the mother was pretty enough, the average shouldn't be too low, right?

Forget it, I’ll worry about this kind of thing later.

"Well, a man of culture is naturally elegant." Lin Ruoxi said to Xue Rui with a curved eye.

Xue Rui looked surprised. Did the little girl seem to be praising him? He touched his belly and said, "Do I look like I have a lot of knowledge?"

Lin Ruoxi shook her head slowly, which made Xue Rui grimace. This girl has also learned how to insult him.

However, Lin Ruoxi only looked at him with admiration and said softly, "It's not like, you are like that."

Xue Rui's mouth corners lifted unconsciously. The little girl's way of praising others was really unique. He tickled the little girl's belly: "What's in your belly?"

"Food." Lin Ruoxi said seriously.

"Give the leftovers to Dahuang from now on." Xue Rui felt that this family would not do without Dahuang. If Dahuang didn't eat the leftovers, the little girl would have to.

"Rui, when will you bring Dahuang back?" Lin Ruoxi asked. She hadn't seen Dahuang for a long time.

Xue Rui suddenly remembered her sister and Da Huang, who should be with Gu Muxue now. She would bring Da Huang back after some time.

After all, no matter what, Dahuang was Lin Ruoxi's only playmate before, but now he has been occupied by her sister.

"Yaoyao's birthday is in a few days, so let's take Dahuang away after her birthday." Xue Rui said. If he took Dahuang away before her birthday, it would definitely affect Xue Yao's mood for her birthday.

Lin Ruoxi's eyes lit up. She had been wearing Xue Yao's clothes for a long time. Hanging on the wall of her bedroom was Xue Yao's award certificate from elementary school...

However, she has not met Xue Rui's sister yet...

Xue Rui discovered what Lin Ruoxi meant, but their family usually celebrated birthdays with a large group of relatives having a meal together, chatting about family matters...

If he brought the little girl over there, the topic would probably immediately turn to him, and he would ask the little girl all kinds of questions.

Besides, the girl probably won’t go.

"Well, should I give a gift?" Lin Ruoxi asked weakly.

Xue Rui waved his hand: "She has everything she needs."

His sister was a child who grew up in a honeypot. She already had a very high threshold for gifts and she was also a heartless type. Even if Lin Ruoxi made something handmade and sent it to her, Xue Yao probably wouldn't have any impression of it, so why bother?

"I remember...she likes playing games." Lin Ruoxi fell into memories. She wanted to make Xue Rui's family happy.

"Yes, I have a strong addiction to being a bad person." Xue Rui joked.

"Then...what game does she play?" Lin Ruoxi asked.

"LOL." Xue Rui answered casually.

Lin Ruoxi tilted her head and blinked her big eyes at Xue Rui: "Well, I've decided what gift to give."

Xue Rui suddenly had a bad feeling. Could it be that the little girl wanted to make a game plug-in?

It's not that he doubted Lin Ruoxi's ability, but cheats would destroy the fairness of the game and would be illegal if they were spread out.

The operator of LOL? That’s Nanshan Pizza Hut!

"Don't do anything illegal, she's just playing around." Xue Rui said, touching the little girl's head.

Lin Ruoxi shook her head repeatedly: "I...I want to give her a keyboard, I will make one myself."

Xue Rui let out a light exclamation, thinking that this thing was good, and Xue Yao would probably like it.

But on second thought, he felt it would take too much time, so he waved his hand and said, "Just buy a gaming keyboard online."

"But I also want to make one for you." Lin Ruoxi said in a low voice. She had had this idea a long time ago and had bought the accessories, but she never had the chance to give it to you.

Xue Rui nodded heavily: "I think your idea is very good."

If he was involved, that would be a different matter.

She watched the little girl carry out a big box and pour out a bunch of accessories. She wondered if the little girl wanted to make one by hand from scratch?
Suddenly, his cell phone rang. It was a message from the girl.

Fortunately, the little girl was busy with her own things at the time and didn't care what he was doing.

Creditor: Xiao Rui, Yaoyao's birthday is coming up in a few days, what should I give her as a gift? [Confused]

After sending the message, Gu Muxue felt so useless. She had clearly promised in her heart that she would ignore Xue Rui for a day and a night, but she just couldn't help it.

But... she is the only one who knows about this, and she is embarrassing herself in front of herself.

Xue Rui replied almost immediately: Mu Xue, you have such a good relationship with Yaoyao, you should know her better than me, right?
Of course, he is the person who knows Xue Yao best, but girls like different things at different times. Who knows what Xue Yao likes recently?
Creditor: Yaoyao likes to play games. I see her keyboard looks old. Should I give her a keyboard?
Xue Rui thought to himself, doesn’t the little girl have the answer now?
Now I should be looking for an excuse to chat with him.

Xue Rui thought that a keyboard was like a girlfriend, and it didn't matter if he had one or two more, so he typed "OK" on the screen;
Although rubbing the keyboard by hand is a thoughtful move, the keyboard technology of large manufacturers is mature, and Gu Muxue is willing to spend money, so it should be a 50-50 split...

Just when he was about to send it to the girl, he found that Lin Ruoxi took out a metal keyboard case from a box, and it made a dull sound when it was placed on the glass of the coffee table.

"What is this?" Xue Rui thought that the shell looked to be of high cost. The little girl was willing to spend money on these things.

"Rui, I had it custom-made in Shenzhen. It was CNC-machined out of a whole piece of aluminum plate..."

Lin Ruoxi was speaking her mind slowly, still using sandpaper to smooth out the burrs on the aluminum block. Xue Rui's mind gradually began to conjure up some images of those exquisite and beautiful customized keyboards of later generations...

Xue Rui's expression remained unchanged. He silently deleted the "OK" in the dialog box and retyped a line of words:

[Muxue, don't buy a keyboard. ]
