Under the darkness, the lake was slightly cold. The dim yellow light of the street lamps scattered on the surface of the water, leaving a sparkling light.
The tourists had all dispersed, and Jian Ruoruo hovered alone on the shore.
She had been waiting here for nearly an hour for Lan Chenxi.
When she picked up her phone again to look at the time, she saw the light of the car lights not far away sweeping toward her along the road on the shore of the lake.
It must be Lan Chenxi.
When Jian Ruoruo walked to the intersection, the car just stopped.
The night could not hide the luxurious light of the Bentley. It was Lan Chenxi's usual car.
However, what came out of the driver's seat was a well-behaved, elegant, and well- taken care of young woman.
With the frost on her beautiful face that belonged to a noble lady, she stepped on expensive high heels and walked in front of Jian Ruoruo in an imposing manner, staring at her fiercely.
"Are you Jian Ruoruo?" His tone was very hard.
After a moment of hesitation, Jian Ruoruo nodded gently. "Yes, Auntie, who are you?"
"Are the girls nowadays just relying on their beauty to daydream about being a phoenix?" The woman did not answer Jian Ruoruo's question. Instead, she curled her lips into a cold smile and asked in a contemptuous tone.
Jian Ruoruo: "..."
She vaguely guessed the identity of the woman and kept her politeness. "Auntie, are you Lan Chenxi's mother?"
Lan Hailu looked at Jian Ruoruo coldly, his face full of contempt. "Chen Xi won't come. Little girl, although beautiful skin can bring you wealth, don't overestimate yourself."
"Do you know our Chen Xi's identity?"
Jian Ruoruo: "..."
She really didn't know. She only knew that he followed his mother's surname. His family background was mysterious and powerful.
"It's better if you don't know. I'm afraid that you'll feel inferior." Lan Hailu's tone was light. He took out a card from his bag and handed it to Jian Ruoruo with two fingers between his fingers. He said sarcastically, "I'm willing to give you this money just to show my son's value, not what you deserve."
As she spoke, she loosened her fingers and the card fell to the side of Jian Ruoruo's feet.
"The password is No. 1. Remember to leave my son. Otherwise, I won't let you go." Lan Hailu gave a stern warning before leaving.
Jian Ruoruo stood where she was. After staring at the card on the ground for a while, she bent down and picked it up.
She looked at the small card over and over again.
There was money in this thing, which was what she, Jian Ruoruo, needed most at this time.
But...
Suddenly, with a snap, she broke the card. Her fingers loosened, and the broken card fell into the sand. At the same time, her tears fell.
Lan Chenxi had been chasing her. He was a standard tall, rich, and handsome man. All the girls in the school envied her for having such good luck.
It was just that it was close to the college entrance examination. Jian Ruoruo was focused on her studies and did not agree to Lan Chenxi's pursuit.
But at this time, his father was ill and needed to change his kidney, which cost about 30 to 500,000 yuan.
For a poor family, this number was like a heavy mountain that had no place to gather.
Lan Chenxi was the only rich person that Jian Ruoruo had ever come into contact with. She had invited him here to borrow money from him.
Just now, Lan Hailu said that the money in this card was given to show the value of her son, so there should be a lot of money inside. Lan Chenxi's value was far more than three to five hundred thousand yuan.
It was enough to pay for his father's surgery.
But she threw it away herself.
She really couldn't take away the money that had lost her dignity.
However, no one could lend her so much money anymore, and her father could not afford the cost of surgery... Like the night, despair surrounded Jian Ruoruo endlessly. She walked along the road by the lake, holding her thin shoulders and walking slowly.
At the turning point, a bright light suddenly shone over.
The car in front of them was driving the electric car, piercing into Jian Ruoruo's eyes. She subconsciously blocked her eyes with her hands, but her elbows touched a pole beside her. Her body suddenly became unstable and she fell to the side.
There was no guardrail on the road, and Jian Ruoruo fell directly into the lake.
"Clang! Clang!"
The car made an ear-piercing screech.
...
The lamp at the head of the bed gave off a dim light, which made people vaguely see the extremely luxurious decorations in the room.
The gorgeous crystal hung above his head.
Staring at this strange environment, Jian Ruoruo immediately propped herself up.
The silky quilt was taken off her body. Subconsciously, Jian Ruoruo lowered her head and her mind was burning hot.
She was wearing a pair of pajamas with gorgeous lace edges.
Who took off her clothes?
The fragments of memory slowly overlapped.
She remembered that she had fallen into the lake and struggled for a while. When she thought she was going to finish playing, an arm suddenly circled her...
Had she been saved?
Was this the home of the person who had saved her?
After looking around, there was a card beside Jian Ruoruo's lamp with words written on it.
Little sister, you've woken up from your sleep.
Next to the paper was a newly acquired mobile phone.
Her cell phone had been sacrificed in the lake.
There was no password. After Jian Ruoruo lit up the screen, she dialed the number on the card.
"Hello." It was a man's voice, which sounded very elegant and polite.
Jian Ruoruo said softly, "Hello, sir, I, I'm already awake..."
"Okay, I'll be right there."
After a while, there was a knock on the door.
"Please come in," Jian Ruoruo replied.
The door was pushed open and a handsome man wearing a shirt and a pair of trousers walked in slowly with a friendly smile. He was as elegant as the moon.
"Hello, my name is Lin Che. Little sister, what's your surname?" The man introduced as he walked towards Jian Ruoruo.
"My name is Jian Ruoruo."
Lin Che tugged at her arm and chuckled. She was handsome and charming. "Miss Jian, how are you feeling now?"
There was nothing strange about her. Jian Ruoruo shook her head. "I'm fine."
"That's good," Lin Che said as she handed over a business card with both hands. "Because it's night, I didn't give you a physical examination. However, if there's any after-effects, you can come to me."
This is my business card."
Jian Ruoruo took the business card and glanced at it.
The man's identity was printed on it—Lin Che, the assistant of the CEO of the Cheng Group in City A.
This was a position that was second only to one person and was above everyone else.
The Ying Group, the richest man in City A, the backbone of the Asian economy, the richest family ranked in the top 50 on the world's wealth list, and the top wealthy family.
As the assistant of the president of the Cheng Group, he had his own status, reputation, and wealth. He was a fat job that all the assistants in the world yearned for.
"Did you save me?" Jian Ruoruo asked.
"No." Lin Che pulled back her smile and said, "It was our President Qin who saved you. I'm very sorry, Miss Jian, that he opened a new system and caused you to fall into the water. I apologize to you on behalf of our President Qin."
Jian Ruoruo: "..."
Lin Che's identity was already enough for her to be surprised. She did not expect that the person who would truly save her was someone at the very top of the pyramid that she could never hope to reach in her entire life!
