He Xianmo took out his phone and frowned slightly when he saw Cai Jiahe's name on the screen.
"I'll answer the phone." After saying this to Lou Xiaojiang, He Xianmo walked a few meters away with his cell phone and then pressed the answer button.
He Xianmo: "Is something wrong?"
"Cousin, where are you? I want to find you." Cai Jiahe's voice sounded like a suppressed cry in the receiver, and he was very hoarse.
This state naturally reminded He Xianmo of the times he had been heartbroken for Zhou Ruo.
Thinking of Zhou Ruo, He Xianmo's right eyelid twitched a few times. He raised his hand and covered his eyelids with his fingertips, "What's wrong with you?"
"I saw Dara today." Cai Jiahe said, "She was with another man."
He Xianmo didn't expect that he had guessed her right. His face was a little gloomy and his voice had no fluctuations: "Did you meet her on the first day?"
If Zhou Ruo is with another man, is this something worth calling to tell him specifically? It would be strange if there is no man around her one day.
"Not an ordinary man, that man has a fiancée!" Cai Jiahe's voice sounded very excited, "I heard him say that he was preparing a gift for his fiancée."
He Xianmo: "..."
Cai Jiahe: "I don't understand why she is such a person..."
"Where are you? I'll pick you up." Cai Jiahe's condition looked very bad. He Xianmo thought of the last time he had a fight with someone and went to the hospital. He was worried that he couldn't control his emotions this time and did something extreme. .
There are indeed many rich men around Zhou Ruo. If Cai Jiahe is impulsive, the price he pays may be painful.
After Cai Jiahe reported his address, He Xianmo warned him again: "Just wait over there and don't wander around. I'll be there in about ten minutes."
From a few meters away, Lou Xiaojiang could see He Xianmo's gloomy face when he answered the phone.
A few minutes later, He Xianmo hurried back, and Lou Xiaojiang asked with concern: "Arthur, is there any problem?"
"My cousin came to see me for something, and I can't have dinner with you today." He Xianmo glanced at the parking space, "You go back first, I'll go find him."
Lou Xiaojiang was a little disappointed when she heard that she couldn't eat, but she quickly nodded and asked, "Do you need my help? How about I go with you?"
"No, some privacy." He Xianmo refused.
——
The address on Cai Jiahe's newspaper was not far from the hospital. He Xianmo drove for more than ten minutes to the intersection and picked up Cai Jiahe.
It's not easy to park here. After Cai Jiahe got in the car, He Xianmo drove forward.
He turned the steering wheel and glanced at Cai Jiahe in the passenger seat. He was wearing sportswear and carrying a hiking bag. It looked like he had just returned from exercise. He should have been full of energy, but he was dejected and his face was downcast. He was white, his eyes were so red that he looked like he was about to cry, and he looked very shocked.
He Xianmo's face darkened a bit, and he moved his lips, "I have forgotten everything I told you before."
The last time Cai Jiahe fought with someone for Zhou Ruo, He Xianmo spent a lot of energy to reconcile with the other party and also helped him hide the truth from his family.
After that time, He Xianmo had some conversations with Cai Jiahe about Zhou Ruo. He Xianmo thought that what he said was unpleasant, and Zhou Ruo also said such heartless words himself. He thought that Cai Jiahe would slowly wake up after a while.
Who would have known that after more than a month, he would find Zhou Ruo again.
He Xianmo's eyes paused on Cai Jiahe's hiking bag for a while, and he asked casually: "Did you go hiking with her?"
"I just attended an event invited by a friend. I didn't expect that she would be there -" After answering He Xianmo's question, Cai Jiahe suddenly realized something was wrong: "How did you know she was walking?"
He Xianmo's fingers holding the steering wheel stiffened. He didn't expect that the words he blurted out would arouse Cai Jiahe's suspicion.
"Guess." He Xianmo said these two words calmly, "Then, what did you do."
"I didn't do anything, I just said something to her." Cai Jiahe did not struggle with the issue just now. Thinking of Zhou Ruo and that man, he was quickly engulfed by negative emotions, "I thought she was interested in all the people. Men are all the same, but that man..."
Cai Jiahe choked up and took a lot of effort to say the next words: "I didn't expect that she was also the kind of person who would be someone else's lover for money."
He Xianmo did not answer.
In fact, he has not yet figured out where Zhou Ruo's money comes from, but what is certain is that she is indeed very rich, which is much beyond the average for her age.
But Zhou Ruo never mentioned her privacy and family background. He Xianmo only knew that she was from Beicheng and came to England to study in middle school. He Xianmo knew nothing else.
There seemed to be no family members in her usual circle.
"You are not suitable." After a long silence, He Xianmo said to Cai Jiahe again, "You should find someone around the same age."
"But I just like her." Cai Jiahe asked impulsively, "Cousin, is it because she doesn't like me because I don't have money?"
"I heard the man say that he bought her a limited edition of Hermès." Cai Jiahe clenched his fists, his throat sore.
He Xianmo saw the restaurant in front of him and parked the car on the side of the road. "You haven't eaten yet, so go down and have a meal."
Cai Jiahe still had the appetite to eat, but He Xianmo had already stopped the car, so he could only follow him.
It was past the lunch rush hour, and the restaurant was sparsely crowded. He Xianmo called the waiter to order a few dishes, and then gave Cai Jiahe a glass of lemonade.
Cai Jiahe still looked downcast.
He Xianmo: "Don't fight yourself for someone who doesn't deserve it. Since you already know that you don't meet her requirements, just let it go."
"How can it be that easy?" Cai Jiahe held the cup, "Even if I know she is not a good woman, I still like her."
He Xianmo: "..."
Cai Jiahe: "Cousin, what do you think...if I were that rich, would she like me?"
"No." He Xianmo gave Cai Jiahe the answer cruelly and simply.
Zhou Ruo may like rich men, but money is definitely not her only selection criterion.
Cai Jiahe's behavior is too childish - Zhou Ruo also said that it was because he was too serious that he wanted to separate.
The meaning of that sentence was that Cai Jiahe didn't understand the rules of the game, so she stopped playing with her from now on.
Cai Jiahe was unconvinced by this cruel answer.
He Xianmo: "If a person doesn't like you, she won't like you no matter what you become. Stop wasting time. Are you ready for your graduation thesis?"
Cai Jiahe: "..."
He Xianmo: "If I see you fighting for a woman again, I will immediately call your parents to accompany you to study."
Cai Jiahe immediately withered when he heard this: "No, no, no, no."
He Xianmo: "Then you should pay more attention to what should be paid attention to."
Cai Jiahe was silent for a long time.
After the food was served, Cai Jiahe took a long breath and said, "I even thought about marrying her at that time."
"I know my parents won't like her type, so I'm ready to fight to the end for her... Haha, it's a pity that she doesn't care about her at all."
