Rebirth: Back to before my girlfriend dropped out of school

Early the next morning, Xia Yuansheng and Yu Cai arrived at Tianhao Hotel together. Both of them were dressed in formal suits. Xia Yuansheng was carrying a briefcase in his hand. It looked like he was on a business trip rather than attending a cocktail party. However, this was also the norm for a small company like his. When going to a cocktail party to make friends and look for opportunities for cooperation, he had to prepare some information and business cards.

"Acai, is Mr. Li here too? Doesn't he have a bad relationship with Mr. Mu? Will he really come?"

Yu Cai is a middle-aged man in his forties, of medium height and slightly fat, with a firm beer belly. He has an ordinary appearance but his eyebrows and eyes have a somewhat strange gentleness. His face does not show the aura of wealth and sex, which does not quite match his name. Now he runs a company with Xia Yuansheng and is the company's vice president. One is in-house and the other is outward-looking, and Yu Cai is mainly responsible for attracting business.

Xia Yuansheng next to him is 1.8 meters tall and has a much better figure than him. There is a stable sense of happiness on his face. Although he is also forty years old, he has a well-proportioned figure and a handsome appearance. He can even be called a handsome uncle.

Yu Cai smiled and replied, "Boss Li will definitely come. As long as we can cooperate with him, we don't have to worry about the company's affairs. You just need to discuss cooperation and trust my connections."

Xia Yuansheng finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing his affirmative answer.

As they were talking, there was a sudden commotion at the door. They looked over there and saw many onlookers surrounding them. Surrounded by them was a girl wearing a simple short-sleeved shirt and long pants. She should be the same age as his son. Thinking of this, Xia Yuansheng paid more attention to her.

Yu Cai saw her beautiful young face at first sight, and thought she was a vulgar and shrewd woman. "At such a young age, she has learned to find shady ways. It really shows how the world has changed and people's hearts have changed."

Xia Yuansheng found these words jarring. The girl didn't look like that kind of person. "It's better for us not to judge if we don't know the truth."

Tong Yusui had not expected such a thing to happen. They welcomed her in with a nice tone, but once she entered, they changed their words and said she was a waitress and asked her to serve wine. It was such a cheap and direct show of power that she couldn't help but see it. But it was precisely because she saw it that she couldn't compromise. If she couldn't get in through this door, she would be enslaved in the future.

The three men blocking her way folded their arms. Although they were wearing suits, they still looked like gangsters. No matter how good-looking they were, they couldn't change that. "What are you still standing there for? Let's go and serve the guests some wine."

The gazes around her were like cold pillars of ice. A group of well-dressed and indifferent onlookers glanced at her. She seemed like a commodity with price tags put on it by different people, but without exception, no one thought she was a valuable item and therefore could be evaluated at will. Many people began to talk, seemingly talking about her, but also seemingly not. There was a rumbling in her ears and she could not hear any sound. Tong Yusui became more and more expressionless, but her fingers gradually tightened. The three gangsters were even happier when they heard the sound around them gradually increasing and the effect was so good. They just wanted her to be unable to bear it and flee in panic.

But Tong Yusui didn't like to show her weakness at times like this. She was used to facing all the rumors with a blank expression, because she was unhappy and didn't want to make those who scolded her happy.

A man stood on the second floor in the distance. His face was hidden in the darkness, but one could tell he was tall. His fingers were white and slender, gently shaking a glass of red wine. The corners of his lips slowly curled up, "Interesting."

He drank the rest of the wine in one gulp and went back to the room on the second floor to let it air out for a while to see how long she could bear it.

"Go away, this is not the place for you." Some people seemed to be unable to bear it and shouted.

"Maybe they did it on purpose. Why are you getting involved?"

Soon, the voices became louder and louder, one after another.

Xia Yuansheng felt a little reluctant. This was obviously not right. If it was really a waiter, those people should not have done nothing but just watched her. Especially since this was Tianhao, would the people here reason with a waiter? It was good enough that they didn't just drag the person away.

"You said she was a waitress, then how did she get in?" Everyone who comes here has an invitation, how could a completely unrelated person get in?

"Maybe she deliberately wanted to find a rich man and run away by herself." The man spoke harshly and glared at him fiercely. Who would dare to meddle in Mr. Mu's affairs?

……

Someone stood up to help her explain. Tong Yusui felt a little dazed, like a spectator watching that person argue for her. Even when he was almost beaten, she still didn't react. When would it end? In the past, her mother always scolded her, but she always got tired of it. But now, with so many people looking at her like a monkey, should she turn around and leave?

"Ding-ling-ling..." The cell phone rang. Tong Yusui subconsciously picked up the call and put it to his ear numbly.

"Hey."

"Hey, Suisui, I'm at your house." Xia Zhuomian opened her door and saw the clean, even somewhat empty room inside. "I guessed you didn't have time to decorate your room after coming here, so I brought two pots of succulents today. They're pink and plump. I'll put them on your desk. Looking at them will cheer you up when you're tired, and you don't have to worry about anything."

The voice on the other end had a flavor that was unique to him, and just listening to it made people feel warm in their hearts. Tong Yusui's stiff body seemed to come alive again.

"Okay." She heard her own dry answer.

"You have too few things." Xia Zhuomian sat on the bed and immediately noticed something was wrong. He lifted a corner of the bed sheet and found that there was only a sheet on the bed with nothing underneath. "You only put a sheet on the bed every day? It must be very uncomfortable to sleep without bedding under the bed. Also, don't you have a pillow? How do you sleep every day? Do you use books as pillows?"

He looked at the books beside the bed and didn't give Tong Yusui a chance to speak before he rattled off a lot of words, his voice full of heartache. "I knew you wouldn't take good care of yourself."

"I'm used to it. Actually, I'm okay sleeping here." Tong Yusui carefully explained for herself.

"You still say it." Xia Zhuomian's voice became louder. "How can I get used to it?"

Tong Yusui was silent. She was indeed used to it. She slept in whatever was available and was not picky. That was why she was able to adapt after moving to two places in a row. It was just that she had rarely been cared for so much before. Even if she was blamed, she felt happy.

“Then I’ll buy it next time.”

"You'll need it next time. I'll fix it for you later." After saying that, he saw that the other side was quiet and remembered something. He subconsciously lowered his voice and asked, "Is your friend next to you? She didn't hear it!"

Tong Yusui didn't know why she wanted to laugh. She deliberately lowered her voice and teased, "Yeah, she thought someone was scolding me!"

"Ah!" Xia Zhuomian thought he was really heard and felt embarrassed for a moment, "Well, well, you guys go ahead and do your work first, we'll talk after you're done." After saying that, he quickly hung up the phone, wishing he could go back and take back what he had said.
