Chapter 173

Soon, Xiao Chen went down the stairs and headed downstairs.

At this time, in the living room, Lin Ruoxue and Lin Ruohai stared at each other.

"Second brother, who is this Xiao Chen? How can you be related to him?"

Lin Ruohai asked with an angry look on his face.

Hearing this, Lin Ruoxue's heart was panicked.

She didn't expect that her second brother had already found out Xiao Chen's identity.

But she was a lady after all. Although she was panicked in her heart, she still pretended to be calm on the surface and said: "He is just an ordinary person. I met him occasionally, so I knew him!"

"Really?"

Lin Ruohai snorted coldly.

"Right!"

"Haha, do you think I will believe what you said?"

Lin Ruohai chuckled, "Ruoxue, to be honest, we have a good relationship since we were young. I don't like you being so nice to other boys. If it were in the past, I might have turned a blind eye, but he was hired by me to protect you. I won't allow you to do such a stupid thing to him!"

"No!"

Lin Ruoxue shook her head, "He saved me, I am very grateful to him, so I can't ignore him, not to mention that he saved me for a purpose!"

"Haha, then tell me, what is his purpose?"

Lin Ruohai asked with interest.

Lin Ruoxue gritted her teeth and whispered, "I don't know either!"

"You don't know?"

Lin Ruohai heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, his eyes rolled, and he continued, "Ruoxue, do you like him?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? You are my brother, how can you say that to me?"

Lin Ruoxue's face suddenly turned red, and she retorted coquettishly.

"Hehe... I didn't say anything?"

"Hmph!"

Lin Ruoxue snorted coldly, not wanting to pay attention to him.

"Okay, okay!"

Lin Ruohai shook his head gently and said, "Anyway, I am also your biological brother. You have to remember that you are just an adopted daughter of the Lin family now, and you still have a long way to go in the future!"

Lin Ruohai said it very tactfully, but the meaning was very clear, that is, to remind Lin Ruoxue that no matter whether it was Lin Ruoxue or Lin Ruoxue, they were just orphans living under someone else's roof, and her future was still in her own hands.

"I know, that's why I don't want to implicate him because of me!"

Lin Ruoxue nodded and whispered.

"This matter is not up to you!"

Lin Ruohai said lightly, and then walked towards the second floor.

Seeing this, Lin Ruoxue was shocked and subconsciously shouted: "Second brother!"

Hearing these two words, Lin Ruohai stopped and turned around and said: "What's wrong?"

"Second brother, he is innocent, don't involve him!"

Lin Ruoxue said hurriedly.

"Hmph!"

Hearing this, Lin Ruohai snorted coldly, "I tell you, Lin Ruoxue, if you want to save Xiao Chen, you'd better tell the truth, why do you suddenly want to find this Xiao Chen to treat you? And who is the pill?"

Hearing Lin Ruohai's straightforward question, Lin Ruoxue's face turned pale and her body trembled violently.

She didn't expect Lin Ruohai to be so smart and figured out at a glance that the pill was given to Xiao Chen by her.

On the other side.

She looked similar to Lin Yue, except that she was dressed very ordinary, not very luxuriously, and there seemed to be some freckles on her cheeks, and the overall image looked a bit sloppy.

However, such a mediocre-looking girl attracted his attention.

Later, he didn't know where he got Lin Yue's phone number, so he called Lin Yue several times every three days.

Although Lin Yue rejected him every time, Ye Xiu never gave up.

"Ye Xiu, did you say that thing deliberately to cheat?"

Lin Yue saw that Ye Xiu didn't answer for a long time, and couldn't help asking.

"Uh... this..."

Ye Xiu scratched his head.

He couldn't say that the cause and effect of this matter were all made up by him!

"Lin Yue, you think too much. I am serious about you."

Ye Xiu said, and directly stretched out his hand to pull Lin Yue into his arms.

"Ah! Ye Xiu, what are you doing!"

Lin Yue immediately shouted shyly.

Ye Xiu directly kissed her sweet lips.

"Mmmmm!"

Lin Yue immediately struggled.

However, her resistance was obviously no match for Ye Xiu.

Very

Soon, she was addicted to Ye Xiu's domineering offensive.

Ye Xiu gently stroked Lin Yue's soft back, bit her earlobe, and whispered: "Lin Yue, I haven't contacted you these days, is it my fault?"

"Who would blame you! I just... just miss you a little bit..."

Lin Yue said with a red face.

"That's good, don't worry, I will come to see you as long as I have time in the future, okay?"

"Yeah, okay..."

Lin Yue blushed and whispered.

The two kissed for a long time before Ye Xiu let her go.

"Okay, let's go quickly! Otherwise, it will be embarrassing if we are late later."

Lin Yue said, taking Ye Xiu's hand and walking outside.

......

The address of the cocktail party was chosen in a five-star hotel.

The decoration here, both in terms of layout and facilities, is extremely luxurious.

As soon as Ye Xiu and Lin Yue arrived, they immediately became the focus of everyone's attention.

After all, Ye Xiu's face is really outstanding.

Moreover, he has a slender and well-proportioned figure. He looks sunny and handsome in casual clothes, which is even more handsome than any star.

When Ye Xiu and Lin Yue walked into the conference room together, many people looked at him sideways.

"Who is that boy? He looks really good, more handsome than many stars around!"

"Who is that girl? She is so beautiful!"

Some people couldn't help whispering.

Ye Xiu naturally didn't know that he had become the focus of the whole audience at this moment. After sitting down with Lin Yue under the gaze of a group of rich women, officials, and socialites, he took a sip of the drink on the table.

"Ye Xiu, that is a guest invited by my father, the owner of this hotel."

Lin Yue reminded in a low voice.

"A guest invited by your father?"

Ye Xiu couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and raised his head to look at the boss.

He found that the boss looked a little haggard, obviously because of poor management and did not dare to waste energy on making money.

"Mr. Zhang, that's my daughter Lin Yue."

Lin Yue's father introduced.

"It's Xiao Yue!"

The boss said with a smile.

"Hello, Mr. Zhang, I'm Ye Xiu."

Ye Xiu stood up and said.

"Ye Xiu? Aren't you a freshman in high school?"

The boss looked at Ye Xiu in surprise.

"I've dropped out of school for a while. I'm now working on the affairs of an investment company. This time I came to help Lin Yue's father attend a cocktail party held by a friend."

"Investment company? Are you the boss of an investment company?"

Hearing Ye Xiu's introduction, the boss' eyes widened.

"Haha, yes! Mr. Zhang, if you think my job is a bit lowly, I can leave."

Ye Xiu asked with a smile.

"Ye Xiu, don't say that."

Mr. Zhang waved his hand quickly.

"I don't have so many rules. If you are willing to invest, you can invest at any time. Don't worry. I think you are a good person. Our company's recent situation is a bit dangerous. I hope you can help. I wonder if you can agree?"
