Rebirth: Start to Save the Treasure Girl

Chapter 99 Still Young
"The district actually has a scholarship fund. Over the years..." Director Wang glanced at the rearview mirror from time to time.

Xue Rui listened for a long time and felt that Director Wang was just making empty promises.

Sometimes there are awards in the district, sometimes there are municipal government...

All I'm talking about are things that happened after the college entrance examination.

"Director Wang, please take a rest." Xue Rui interrupted.

"Okay." Director Wang smiled awkwardly. It was obvious at first glance that Xue Rui was not someone who could be easily fooled.

He had already realized that where Lin Ruoxi went to school depended mainly on Xue Rui's opinion.

If public schools compete with private schools for scholarships, they are really no match.

Especially since the price offered by the other party was too high, he had no confidence at all that he could keep Lin Ruoxi.

But he didn't expect that Lin Ruoxi would stay in No. 2 Middle School for Xue Rui.

The distance from the school to the community is very short, and it only takes a few minutes to drive there.

"Lin Ruoxi, go buy some groceries first."

"Ah."

Lin Ruoxi nodded and glanced around before getting out of the car.

Director Wang tapped the steering wheel with his fingers. After Lin Ruoxi closed the car door, he turned around and asked, "You live with her?"

Xue Rui was startled. Director Wang looked like he wanted to eat him.

"I just pick her up from school and drop her off every day, and occasionally have a meal at her house." Xue Rui explained hurriedly.

Director Wang is known for his bad temper, and he almost got into a fight with those people from the private school just now.

"Well, you did a good job." Director Wang gritted his teeth.

He suddenly remembered something and asked again: "Don't you like Gu Muxue?"

The whole school knew about this, and he had arrested Xue Rui several times.

"Uh..." Xue Rui didn't know how to explain for a moment. The other party was a veteran and he couldn't fool him.

Director Wang waved his hand: "I don't care about your nonsense. Anyway, as long as you keep Lin Ruoxi, don't get her pregnant. And..."

Xue Rui swallowed his saliva. Director Wang's words were too straightforward.

Also, what on earth had he been through that made him worry in this direction?
"Got it. Goodbye, Director Wang." Xue Rui didn't want to talk any more, so he got out of the car and went into the vegetable store.

He didn't know how Director Wang understood the relationship between him and Lin Ruoxi.

But what Xue Rui was sure of was that Director Wang would not talk nonsense. After all, he was the key to keeping Lin Ruoxi. It was already very polite of him not to ask for any benefits.

Xue Rui picked up a bunch of green vegetables, walked to Lin Ruoxi's side, and said with a smile: "Why do you say someone kidnapped you? Did your kindergarten teacher teach you that?"

Lin Ruoxi’s choice of words was really bad. Those people just wanted to make a deal with her, but Lin Ruoxi turned around and “framed” them as human traffickers.

Lin Ruoxi thought for a moment and said, "I... never went to kindergarten. My grandma said someone offered me money to follow him. They were kidnappers."

Xue Rui thought about it carefully and realized that this was indeed the case.

Lin Ruoxi was afraid that she would be surrounded by that group of people as soon as she left the school.

And those people are not from the same family, they are in a competitive relationship.

When bidding against each other, it is inevitable that the words used will be inappropriate, causing Lin Ruoxi to misunderstand.

Normally, the parents of the students should be contacted for this kind of thing, but Lin Ruoxi has no parents and has already moved away from the village, so those people can only wait at the school gate.

"Didn't go to kindergarten? Then what did you do as a child?" Xue Rui frowned.

How can a child not go to kindergarten? Maybe that scumbag thought it was troublesome to pick up the child...

"Hmm... catching bugs in the fields and feeding chickens..."

Xue Rui felt more and more distressed the more he listened, so he interrupted, "Okay, stop talking."

"They will probably come again in the next few days. If I'm not free, you can ask Director Wang to take you home." Xue Rui reminded.

"Will this be too much trouble for the teacher..."

"will not."

Xue Rui believed that Director Wang was happy to run errands. Lin Ruoxi was a brilliant achievement in his career resume, so picking her up from school was no big deal.
Under the smiling gaze of the grocery store owner, the two paid the bill and left.

"Do you feel sad about losing one million?" Xue Rui asked with a smile.

Lin Ruoxi shook her head without hesitation.

Xue Rui smiled and touched Lin Ruoxi's head.

This girl gave up a large sum of money for him, just to be able to stay with him.

Lin Ruoxi's dependence on him has reached a somewhat pathological level.

If it was another girl, Xue Rui might think she was scheming, after all, his family fortune was worth far more than just one million.

Although he is poor now, the future will be his sooner or later.

But Lin Ruoxi... is too naive, and can be seen through at a glance.

The purpose of refusing was just to stay by his side.

And what does "you don't sell" mean?
Xue Rui felt that Lin Ruoxi's thinking was not right and she regarded herself as his property.

However, given Lin Ruoxi's upbringing, it's normal for her to have mental health problems.

When the two came downstairs, Xue Rui saw a familiar license plate number.

"It's broken." Xue Rui felt something was wrong, because that was his mother's car.

He wanted to sneak away, but he heard a loud shout from behind: "Xue Rui!"

Xue Rui paused, then turned around slowly: "Mom, why are you here? I was just about to go back to school."

Lin Ruoxi was startled, but she didn't understand why Xue Rui ran away.

Going back to school? He's not staying for dinner...

"Hello Auntie."

She met Xue Rui's mother in the hospital last time, and she was very gentle to her.

"Xixi, have you eaten? Auntie will take you to eat."

Ren Qunfang said with a smile, her tone was particularly gentle, as if the roar just now was shouted by someone else.

Xue Rui had seen his mother's Sichuan Opera face-changing, so he could only wait obediently. Because his mother wouldn't believe anything he said, it would be better to let Lin Ruoxi communicate with her mother, and he would guide her a little to raise his image.

"Auntie, I can cook."

"Did Xiaorui ask you for rent?" Ren Qunfang asked with a smile, and then looked at Xue Rui.

"No."

After hearing Lin Ruoxi's answer, Ren Qunfang's expression improved a little and she nodded slightly at Xue Rui.

"You have some conscience." Ren Qunfang said with a smile.

"Mom, you can't think of me like that. I was just helping my classmates." Xue Rui said righteously.

"Then why don't you stay in school?"

"It's not safe for girls to go to and from school by themselves. Lin Ruoxi, do you think I'm right?"

"Yeah." Lin Ruoxi's eyes were filled with autumn water. In fact, until now, she still didn't know why Xue Rui accompanied her to and from school every day.

So, this is the reason...

"You're still going into someone else's house? Grandma Lin Ruoxi said, what are you doing in your room every night?"

"What?" Xue Rui's eyes widened.

He just had a meal, played on the computer for a while and then went back to school without even closing the door.

The old lady actually framed him like this.

"I'm studying with Lin Ruoxi. I improved by several hundred places in this exam. If you don't believe me, ask my aunt."

The last time Xue Rui met that old lady, he had prepared for the worst.

He had thought of this excuse a long time ago, and the results happened to be out today, so no matter how Ren Qunfang checked, he had indeed made a lot of progress.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Ren Qunfang frowned.

"Isn't this just to give you a surprise?" Xue Rui said with a smile.

"..."

Xue Rui's reasons were indeed very comprehensive. She had just asked Xue Xiaying about this. Xue Rui's academic performance had improved greatly recently, which should be due to the tutoring of this girl.

In response to Ren Qunfang's question, Xue Rui's answer was flawless.

Ren Qunfang did not leave immediately, but stayed and had a meal with the two of them.

"Xixi, you are really good at cooking. Whoever marries you in the future will be really lucky."

Ren Qunfang was generous in praising Lin Ruoxi, saying that her cooking was really delicious.

"Here, this is Xiao Rui's tuition fee."

She took out a wad of cash from her bag, about 10,000 yuan.

It’s not like she hadn’t found remedial classes or tutors for Xue Rui before, but no matter how much money she spent, it basically had no effect. She thought the money was too little.

"No, Auntie, actually..." Lin Ruoxi felt unworthy.

She didn't tutor Xue Rui at all, yet Xue Rui accused her of "misleading students" every day.

To be precise, Xue Rui also gave her a lot of guidance on the computer, helped her choose the direction, and helped her debug the compilation environment.

But before she could explain, Xue Rui glared at her. She saw Xue Rui silently mouthed: "Take it."

"Oh, thank you, Auntie." Lin Ruoxi felt guilty.

"Auntie will leave first." Ren Qunfang picked up her bag and stretched out her hand to signal Lin Ruoxi that she didn't need to see her off.

"Come out." Ren Qunfang glared at Xue Rui.

Xue Rui followed him downstairs obediently.

"Aren't you pursuing Mr. Gu's daughter? What about Lin Ruoxi?" Ren Qunfang scolded.

Lin Ruoxi is so easy to understand, the look in her eyes when she was eating, and the way she picked up food for Xue Rui...

No matter how you look at it, they seem to be a young couple who have been together for a long time.

"Mom, how old am I? Why are you thinking so crookedly?"

"I was young and ignorant before..."

"My primary goal now is to study hard. They are all my good classmates."

Xue Rui looked innocent and pretended not to understand anything.

"Don't pretend with me. How could I not know what kind of person you are?" Ren Qunfang narrowed his eyes.

Xue Rui avoided the question and used his age and studies as an excuse. She was very angry with him.

"You have to choose one. Anyway, I like Lin Ruoxi, and you are not allowed to bully her." Ren Qunfang glared at Xue Rui.

She felt that a girl like Lin Ruoxi who cared about her family was very worry-free and was the perfect choice for a daughter-in-law.

"What's the matter with liking or not, I'm still young now, at least wait until I'm an adult before I say anything."

"Oh? You can choose when you become an adult?"

Ren Qunfang felt that what Xue Rui said made some sense. How could one understand what love was at his age?
Friends and lovers are often temporary.

If she had studied well and been admitted to university, she might not have ended up with Xue Jianfeng.

No one can predict what path we will take in the future and with whom we will walk.

"No, what I mean is that only children make choices. Of course adults want them all." Xue Rui vowed.

"What did you say?!"

Ren Qunfang couldn't bear it any longer, so she took off her high heels and threw them at Xue Rui.

"Why did I give birth to something like you? You say such shameless things."

"Mom! He is my biological child after all, don't use force!" Xue Rui shouted while running away, with no sense of urgency at all.

In his previous life, Ren Qunfang urged him every day to find a girlfriend to bring back home, but Xue Rui failed to do so and was scolded every day.

This time, he found two, and Ren Qunfang was also unhappy.

Xue Rui felt that his mother's demands were too high.
