After leaving the private room, Yang Ruxin couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief; however, upon seeing the radiant person smiling at her near the staircase, she involuntarily held her forehead. These past days, she had completely forgotten about him. She then walked over, "Let’s have a good talk at the shop in town tomorrow."
"Sure," Yong Cang was even happier. He had been waiting for news from Yang Ruxin all these days and hadn’t heard anything. Learning that she was at the Taibai Building today, he hurried over to intercept her and really managed to run into her, "I’ll definitely be there on time."
Yang Ruxin nodded, then went downstairs, exited the Taibai Building, and stood by the roadside. She looked up at the azure sky and adjusted the fur collar on her cotton coat. Indeed, there’s no such thing as a coincidence; life is full of melodrama. But it’s also not bad, it’s at least not dull.
Hao Jian just wanted to get out and about today—after all, he had been recuperating from his injury for a while and hadn’t even stepped out of the yard, which was extremely stifling. Although one of his arms was still in a sling, his legs were fine and his other arm could move again.
What was actually more suffocating for him was that his family didn’t dare to stand up for him after he suffered such a big loss. Even his mother, who scolded him a couple of times, was reprimanded by his grandfather, who also personally warned him to take a detour whenever he saw that woman from now on. This was just too strange for his taste.
A village girl, how much clout could she possibly have? He couldn’t accept it, but with his family unwilling to back him up, he could only endure it.
Of course, what Hao Jian didn’t know was that his family didn’t dare to make a move because someone had already warned the Hao Family. If they dared to trouble Yang Ruxin again, the Hao Family would completely disappear.
The old master of the Hao Family was no fool; how could he dare to treat Yang Ruxin as just an ordinary village girl now? With people from the Imperial Family getting involved, he wouldn’t dare let his grandson go around causing trouble, lest he brings disaster upon the Hao Family.
At this moment, Hao Jian felt his luck was utterly terrible. Just as he was feeling a bit better and wanted to go out for a spin, just wanted to have a meal, how did he manage to run into that jinx again? Seeing the girl standing on the steps, Hao Jian felt pain all over his body. What to do? Naturally, when you can’t afford to offend, you run.
Yang Ruxin also felt that she had way too much fate with this Hao Jian. Originally, she wanted to greet him, but the moment he saw her, he turned and ran away. She wasn’t a ghost; why run? She immediately called out, "Young Master Hao."
Hao Jian almost stumbled and face-planted into the mud, but thankfully a servant by his side was quick-witted enough to grab him.
Gratefully touching his new front teeth, it wasn’t easy to get them replaced. If they were knocked out again, he’d really have to go toothless and leak air through the gap.
"Why the running?" Yang Ruxin walked over slowly, and it was ambiguous whether she did it on purpose or not, but she gently caressed her wrist where Xiaolun lay.
"Heihei..." Hao Jian, seeing the girl approaching, subconsciously stepped back two paces, "Madam, I... I haven’t done any misdeeds... really, I’ve turned over a new leaf, I’ve started anew..." he even started to tremble without realizing it, "Madam, I really didn’t do anything, I just wanted to come over for a meal... Wah wah..." and then he actually started crying.
Yang Ruxin was flabbergasted. What was even happening? She hadn’t done anything; why was he acting as if she was about to overpower him? Her expression turned stern, "Shut up!"
Hao Jian trembled with fright and immediately fell silent.
