Rebirth: Start to Save the Treasure Girl

Chapter 32 If you want to pretend, pretend to be big

Xue Rui was flipping through his phone out of boredom. There were no short videos in this era, and he didn't know what to do with such large chunks of time.

Opening the address book, there are thousands of people's numbers and the notes are very detailed.

For example, "Yaoxiang Town, Zhang San 20,000."

"Li Siwuwan"...

This is his father's old cell phone, and most of the contacts here are bought on credit at his restaurant.

These are all well-known people, most of whom are annual settlement users.

According to Xue Rui in his previous life, the first thing he did was to clear his phone and delete all these random people.

But now, Xue Rui is too lazy to delete them. Although he is not familiar with these people, what if they are useful to him?

Just when Xue Rui was about to wash his face and go to bed, Lin Ruoxi walked in with a basin of hot water.

"Wash your feet." Lin Ruoxi whispered.

"Thank you. You can leave it there."

Xue Rui thought to himself what a good girl she was, and he had a part to play too. It would be such a wonderful thing if Lin Ruoxi could wash his feet personally.

Just as he was thinking this, Lin Ruoxi began to help him take off his shoes.

"Are you serious?"

The fantasy suddenly came true, and Xue Rui felt a little uncomfortable.

He used to be a big customer at the foot massage parlor, but being served by a girl this age...

Although he was just washing himself, he still felt an inexplicable sense of guilt.

After all, Lin Ruoxi didn't specialize in this, and the relationship between the two was just classmates.

"You...your hand is injured, let me help you." Lin Ruoxi said with a red face.

"No need, I can wash my left foot by rubbing my right foot." Xue Rui refused righteously.

But Lin Ruoxi insisted on washing him.

"Oh~" Xue Rui sighed.

He wanted Lin Ruoxi to leave the village, not because the countryside was bad.

It’s because Lin Ruoxi read too many books, and her spiritual world has begun to become separated from the countryside.

This girl is too gentle and too polite, which is a huge disadvantage if she wants to survive in a place like this.

Even if Lin Ruoxi would not commit suicide, the result of dropping out of school early would most likely be that she would marry a farmer.

She could have entered a top university, but in the end she could only take care of her husband and children and make fire and cook in the village.

Who can remember how outstanding and brilliant she was in the past.

Although it is said that "If you are not a fish, how can you understand the joy of a fish?", Xue Rui did not think so. He just felt sorry for the girl.

"I ask you to leave this village and live in the city, are you willing?" Xue Rui asked.

Lin Ruoxi shook her head.

"In the city, your grandma can get better medical resources. You know, lonely elderly people in the countryside don't live long."

Xue Rui changed his angle.

Lin Ruoxi didn't say anything, she just lowered her head to wash Xue Rui's feet. From time to time, a few drops of water fell into the basin. She didn't know whether the water was dripping from her hands or from the corners of her eyes.

"Don't do work for other people tomorrow. I have other things to arrange for you." Xue Rui's attitude was very tough.

Lin Ruoxi nodded and took Xue Rui's socks away before leaving.

Having feet washed by a beautiful girl is such an erotic thing, but the environment of the mud house is depressing, and Lin Ruoxi is dressed too conservatively, so Xue Rui does not feel any excitement.

He was determined to cut off Lin Ruoxi's connection with the village.

The villagers are simple and honest, but some are sinister and vicious.

All this kindness, malice, and human affection... were like strands of spider silk, binding Lin Ruoxi's frail body tightly to the land.

It is impossible to break free from this spider web with her own strength, only external force can do it.

Xue Rui picked up his phone and reported to his family that he was safe.

Of course, the result disappointed him. No one noticed that he didn't go home. They just told him to spend less time on the Internet during the weekend.

So he called his uncle Ren Jun.

"Uncle, I have something to ask you."

"What's the matter? Eating barbecue?" Ren Jun asked with a smile.

"Lend me 100,000 yuan." Xue Rui said in a flat tone.

"No." Ren Jun refused.

Xue Rui chuckled, and his tone suddenly became subtle:

"Uncle, you don't want my grandfather to know that you asked the girl to have an abortion and then broke up with her, right?" "Xue Rui! Are you threatening me? We broke up peacefully!"

"Go explain this to my grandfather. What's the point of telling me?" Xue Rui said with a smile.

His grandfather is conservative. If people knew about Ren Jun's misdeeds, he would probably break one of his legs.

"Don't talk about borrowing it, just consider it as hush money. Just don't let your mother know."

Ren Jun said helplessly that Xue Rui had grasped his weak spot.

"I'll text you the address. Come over tomorrow morning with the cash. Remember to drive my dad's 730."

"Cash?" Ren Jun was a little surprised. Wasn't this guy trading stocks? Why did he want cash instead?

"If there is anything, you will know when you get here. Be sure to drive my dad's car over." Xue Rui reminded again.

"I know, hang up."

……

Ren Jun looked at the suburban address on his phone and couldn't help but look puzzled. What was Xue Rui doing again?

Cash and a BMW 730, are you trying to show off?

He thought that this was the only thing a teenager of his age could do.

However, Xue Rui had already put him in a difficult position and he had no choice but to obey and cooperate with him in pretending to be so powerful.

……

The next morning, Xue Rui got up early.

He was afraid that Ren Jun would not be able to find the way into the village, so he called to remind him again, but was met with a barrage of abuse.

"Lin Ruoxi, why are you still lying in bed? It's already dawn." Xue Rui shouted while sitting in the yard.

He thought, this girl also likes to stay in bed? It doesn't fit his impression.

"The rooster didn't crow?"

Lin Ruoxi came out of the bedroom with disheveled hair, rubbing her sleepy eyes.

"The chicken is already stewed, where did the chicken come from?"

Xue Rui held back his laughter. Did he eat Lin Ruoxi's alarm clock yesterday?

Lin Ruoxi was only wearing a cartoon vest and shorts, revealing her figure.

Especially the cartoon vest, which was probably made many years ago. It no longer fits and my belly is exposed.

When she noticed Xue Rui's staring gaze, she realized that her outfit was inappropriate and ran into the room to change clothes with a red face.

Lin Ruoxi got up very early and immediately went to light a fire to steam buns. She probably had the dough fermented last night.

While Lin Ruoxi was cooking, Xue Rui found paper and pen and drafted a lease contract.

"Ding ding ding." Xue Rui's cell phone rang.

"Wha? I'm here, where am I?"

"It's the second alley after entering the village. Did you see me waving? Is this the one?"

……

A BMW 730, which had been cleaned to a high shine, slowly drove into the country road and stopped in front of Xue Rui.

Ren Jun got out of the car with a dissatisfied look on his face, holding a paper bag in his hand.

"Here, one hundred thousand in cash." Ren Jun handed it over.

"Let's not talk about this for now. Uncle, why are you dressed like an insurance salesman? Or, whose wedding are you attending?"

Xue Rui was amazed.

Ren Jun came over wearing a black suit and fucking white gloves.

"Aren't I just cooperating with you? If we want to pretend, let's do something big!" Ren Jun said with a smile.

"What are you thinking about?" Xue Rui looked strange.

"Have you had breakfast?"

"No, I went to the bank to queue up early in the morning and rented a set of clothes. How could I have time?"

"That's perfect. Do you want some handmade steamed buns that are just out of the pot?"

"Did you stay here last night?"

Only then did Ren Jun notice that Xue Rui came out of this dilapidated house.

"My classmate's family, this money is for poverty alleviation, not for showing off." Xue Rui patted Ren Jun on the shoulder.

"Hiss~" Ren Jun looked at Xue Rui's back and was in a trance.

Xue Rui's image suddenly became tall and majestic, which made him feel unfamiliar.
