Chapter 227: Chapter 227: The Two Tycoons Wouldn’t Be Competing Over Who Donates More, Would They?
Lin Xi looked at Simon, her face pale, “What more do you want
to do? I’ve already said I can’t do it! Mo Chen doesn’t like , he doesn’t like !”
“I know, but given his pathological and paranoid personality, if there’s no woman to divert his attention, he will never forget Qiao Ruoxin. Eventually, he will continue to entangle with Qiao Ruoxin incessantly. Isn’t this to prevent future troubles?”
Simon had long seen through Mo Chen’s true nature.
This man would never let go of Qiao Ruoxin unless he fell in love with another woman.
But it couldn’t be just any woman who could catch Mo Chen’s eye.
Fortunately, Lin Xi and Qiao Ruoxin had so similarities, but…
With a helpless sigh, Simon said, “How useless can you be? After two years, you still haven’t secured even the smallest place in Mo Chen’s heart? I’ve gotten you two years of ti.”
Lin Xi’s expression was hurt, even a bit shocked.
“But love isn’t sothing that can be decided by ti. If you don’t like soone, you just don’t like them. Ti doesn’t necessarily lead to feelings!”
Especially for Mo Chen, his view of love was that there had to be an initial spark.
If there wasn’t a spark from the first glance, then even after two more years, there would be no feelings.
Her phone rang. Simon answered the call, and the voice of Jiang Ruolin ca from the other end: “Simon, I’m at your house. Let’s et and talk.”
The man frowned—Jiang Ruolin was here?
“Wait for .”
After hanging up the phone, Simon looked at Lin Xi on the hospital bed: “Get so rest, you’re still of use to . Don’t forget about those videos of yours.”
Having said that, he turned and left the ward.
Lin Xi threw her pillow fiercely, and it fell to the ground.
Just because of that one video, would her whole life be ruined?
How long would she have to be blackmailed by this man?
…
After driving for forty minutes, Simon returned to the villa.
In the living room, Mother Qiao and Jiang Ruolin were chatting.
“Aunt Lan, are you getting used to living here?”
“I grew up in China since I was a child, so I’m quite accustod.”
Their conversation was interrupted by the sound of a man’s deep footsteps. Jiang Ruolin turned around and saw it was Simon.
Mother Qiao consciously stood up: “I’ll leave you two to talk. I’m a bit tired and will go upstairs to rest.”
After Mother Qiao had left, only Jiang Ruolin and Simon remained in the living room.
The man sat across from her: “Why did you co to China? Didn’t I tell you to recuperate properly in the hospital?”
Jiang Ruolin took a sip from her teacup: “Of course, it was Qiao Ruoxin who asked
to co.”
“…”
“Simon, it’s been two years already. Qiao Ruoxin truly doesn’t love you. Let go. Forcing it won’t get you anywhere. Her heart isn’t with you, it never was.”
The man let out a cold laugh: “So what? But I have set my sights on her. It’s rare for
to find a woman who can evoke love in .”
The word ‘love’ made Jiang Ruolin’s face darken a bit.
All of a sudden, Jiang Ruolin laughed, a lonely laugh: “All those years you said you loved , cared for , it was all just talk, wasn’t it? Why were you so fickle when you liked , but so devoted now that it’s Qiao Ruoxin?”
Everyone wondered why Jiang Ruolin would not accept Simon.
Was Simon not gentle and considerate with her, content to be her backup for so many years, and yet she simply ignored it?
But the harsh truth is that while this man was pursuing her, he would also praise other won’s beauty in front of her.
This left Jiang Ruolin with no sense of security, feeling as if Simon was a playboy who flirted from one flower to the next.
Yet, Simon had indeed sacrificed a lot for her over the years, even taking a knife for her.
Jiang Ruolin couldn’t figure out this man.
So why had Simon, once a playboy, beco a man of singular devotion when it ca to Qiao Ruoxin?
What gave her that power?
Simon let out a faint sneer, “Maybe in the past, I didn’t understand love, but now I do.”
Jiang Ruolin’s face turned pale instantaneously, her eyes wide with shock, “What do you an? Are you saying that all those years you pursued
weren’t out of love and that it was only after Qiao Ruoxin appeared that you understood what love is?”
“It seems so.”
Jiang Ruolin felt as if her pride had been struck, everyone thought she was Simon’s goddess, but was this the outco?
She had noticed long ago that ever since Qiao Ruoxin appeared, Simon had completely lost interest in all other won.
For two years, he had tirelessly played a cat-and-mouse ga with Qiao Ruoxin.
Only Qiao Ruoxin’s last escape, with her help, had been successful.
Then, in the month that Qiao Ruoxin disappeared, she had personally witnessed Simon beco reticent and wander everywhere searching for Qiao Ruoxin’s whereabouts.
“Before, everyone said that Simon of the Lawrence Family was the most gentlemanly, the most tender, and that he would accept defeat if a woman was out of reach. Why has everything changed with Qiao Ruoxin here?”
A smile tugged at the corner of Simon’s mouth, “Maybe when I said those things, I hadn’t t Qiao Ruoxin yet. People always get slapped by their own words. That’s why one should be more cautious and prudent in what they say in the future.”
“…”
Jiang Ruolin couldn’t help but shout angrily, “Your current liking for Qiao Ruoxin, is it like the mindset you had when I rejected you? Can’t you stand being rejected by a woman?”
And those won who longed for Simon’s favor—he did not care for any of them.
Simon looked composed, “Perhaps… that’s true? But I really don’t want to let her go, I like her very much indeed.”
His tone was nonchalant, yet it tore painfully at Jiang Ruolin’s heart.
…
