Chapter 33

Shen Ruo didn't know the number, and it was a video call. He hesitated, and he didn't seem to want to pick it up, because now Chu Xiao still pressed him against the window, so that no one could see it.

Because of this phone call, Chu Xiao let go of Shen Ruo.

So Shen Ruo reached out and wanted to hang up the communication, even if Chu Xiao didn't suppress him, don't take calls from strangers easily.

When they came from Cross Star, Shen Ruo had heard of a similar scam not long ago. Someone in the town where they lived was cheated of a lot of money. It didn't take long for this incident, so Shen Ruo's memory was still fresh.

Chu Xiao, who took a step back, did not expect that Shen Shuo would hang up the phone crisply and neatly. He could almost imagine the face of the person over there in the video.

He raised his eyes to look at Shen Ruo, Shen Ruo was wiping tears with the back of his hand, his eyes were red and swollen, and his expression was still a little innocent.

After a few seconds, the communication rang again. Shen Ruo hesitated, looking at the light screen that popped up, he didn't know whether to pick it up or not. He thought the liar wouldn't call a second time, maybe he knew it. Man, there is an urgent matter to find him.

"It's my mother."

Chu Xiao's last two words seemed to mean something else, and his expression looked light.

Shen Ruo raised her head and glanced at Chu Xiao, and he suddenly became nervous, but after seeing Chu Xiao's expression, he knew why this was happening. Chu Xiao's mother was a stepmother, and many people knew about this.

"Come on, when I'm not here."

As Chu Xiao said that, he leaned against the wall opposite the bed, while Shen Ruo leaned against the window beside the bed, so the light-brained camera would not capture him.

Hearing what Chu Xiao said, Shen Ruo had to answer the phone, because he just hung up the phone, Shen Ruo looked very uneasy.

"Good day, Duchess."

Shen Ruo's voice was small, he looked at the light screen, his hair was messy, his ears were red, it was too rude, he stretched out his hand and quickly smoothed it.

The woman in the light screen exudes mature charm, with gorgeous red lips.

"Shen Ruo?"

Utiya's red lips parted slightly, and her voice sounded very sexy. The feeling of a mature woman was too strong, making Shen Ruo unconsciously more nervous.

"It's me, ma'am."

Shen Ruo looked timid, and when he remembered that he had just hung up the Duchess's phone, he felt a little overwhelmed.

"Sorry ma'am, I didn't know it was you just now."

So Shen Ruo apologized to Utiya in a low voice, feeling a little annoyed, if he knew it was the Duchess's call, he wouldn't hang up.

"I want to talk to you today about Chu Xiao."

Utiya ignored Shen Ruo's words of apology, she smiled lightly and her tone was soothing, but her irresistible gesture was very obvious.

Shen Ruo pursed his lips and did not speak, but he looked at Utiya in the light screen and listened to her seriously.

"I don't like to talk around, so I'll just say it straight. My son has never been easy to discipline. I believe you have seen it."

Utiya paused for a while, seeing Shen Ruo nodding slightly, it was a subconscious action, she was very satisfied, it seems that Chu Xiao's irritability this morning made Shen Ruo clearly aware.

"But no matter what he does, the family has to take care of him. Next month, he will be eighteen years old. I paid attention to some little Asians and little girls before. As for you..."

Shen Ruo couldn't hold back, she raised her head and glanced, and Utiya on the other side of the video naturally noticed his eyes, the words in her mouth paused, she quickly guessed who was beside Shen Ruo.

But Utia continued to speak.

"When the Shen family rescued the old man, we owe you for so many years. In this way, Shen Ruo, auntie has 50 million here, and a property in Silexing. These are enough for you to live and breathe."

After speaking, Utia thought for a while and added another sentence.

"If you want to find a noble of Emperor Star to marry, just tell me, Auntie will help you find someone with a good personality and an honest person."

When Shen Ruo said 50 million, she lowered her eyes, and after Utiya finished speaking, he raised her head.

Just as he was about to say that he didn't want money, he just wanted to go home, but Chu Xiao didn't give Shen Ruo this chance, he strode in front of Shen Ruo.

"One hundred million, you stay."

Chu Xiao sounded impatient, he turned the light screen over and smiled at the people inside, but the smile did not reach his eyes.

"Mother, who is my partner, I think I have the right to make my own decisions."

With that said, Chu Xiao raised his head to look at Shen Ruo, his eyes narrowed slightly, don't think he didn't see it, Shen Ruo definitely wanted to ask Utiya for help just now.

"By the way, mother, about Ms. Pera, she did something wrong and was fired by me, but I found an interesting thing."

Chu Xiao said slowly: "A hired servant has a pinhole detector and a nano-scale micro-camera in his hand. He doesn't mention the confidentiality requirements, but just stealing family privacy. You said, should I send her to her? Court."

Wu Tiya stared at Chu Xiao, Chu Xiao had never been involved in any affairs of the Chu family before.

Even in these years, Chu Xiao has never shown that he knows the affairs of the people under her control. It has always been the performance of that bastard. Either he can't play outside, or he is locked in the Chu family's confinement room.

Apart from the housekeeper, Chu Xiao and the servants in the house seldom even talk, and they don't seem to care at all, as if they have never paid attention to them, so Utiya never thought that Chu Xiao was fired. pera.

Utia didn't have much contact with Pera unless there was something Pera wanted to report to her.

This morning, Pella also reported to her that Chu Xiao chased out, but Chu Xiao had only been fired after returning, and Pella had not sent her a message to tell her about it.

When Chu Xiao was going out to check the suitcase just now, he saw the message sent by Guangnao, so he had Pera locked in the quiet room.

Chu Xiao didn't take a close look at the things found from her room and body. He saw one that was similar in color to Shen Ruo's previous suitcase, so he brought it to find Shen Ruo.

Having said this, Chu Xiao lowered his head and opened his light brain, and directly transferred a sum of money to Shen Ruo.

The sound of the transfer was heard in the light brain, and another light screen that popped up showed the number that Chu Xiao had transferred to him, and the zeros suffixed it made Shen Ruo stunned there.

Chu Xiao ignored Shen Ruo. He deliberately stood with Shen Ruo and pulled the screen back again. The interface for transferring money to Shen Ruo also appeared on the screen.

"Of course, if my mother is kind, I can spare Pera, if you have nothing else to do..."

Hearing what Chu Xiao said, Wu Tia's expression sank for a moment, but she quickly regained her charming and mature attitude.

"In that case, Chu Xiao, I won't bother you anymore, by the way, your father and I don't know if we can go back on your birthday, but the gift has been chosen for you, and even if you can't go back, the gift will be sent back. ."

She smiled and said to Chu Xiao, her eyes seemed softer, like the most ordinary parents in the world, even for this unassuming stepson, she was full of love.

"In that case, then mother, goodbye."

Chu Xiao was actually very impatient, especially when he heard about his father from Utiya, but he still endured it.

"OK, bye."

Utiya didn't go to see Shen Ruo, she hung up the communication after smiling, being generous and decent.

But when the screen went black, her face instantly turned cold.

In recent years, Chu Xiao can be said to be extravagant, but the Duke's mansion can't control him at all, because most of the money in his hands is the inheritance left to him by his biological mother.

Before the death of Chu Xiao's biological mother, Duke Chu had the last phone call with her, promising that Chu Xiao would inherit the title of Duke and that he would take good care of him when he grew up.

After discovering that Chu Xiao's biological mother's will left most of the property to Chu Xiao, Duke Chu didn't care. He couldn't rob a ten-year-old child of the property, and he was his only son.

Duke Chu may not care, but Utiya is always in trouble, no matter how generous she is.

That legacy not only has credit points, but also countless industries, almost all over five galaxies. Even if Chu Xiao has achieved nothing in his life, relying on these alone is enough to allow him to live a rich and luxurious life.

To give Shen Ruo 50 million credit points, this is already a sky-high price for an ordinary person, but Chu Xiao took out 100 million to fight against her, which is clearly humiliating her.

The more she thought about it, the more angry she became, and her mature and beautiful face was a little distorted with anger.

On the other hand, Chu Xiao and Shen Ruo were completely different from her.

Seeing that the light screen went black, Chu Xiao could probably imagine that his stepmother was quite aggrieved.

But now, Chu Xiao's mind is still on Shen Ruo, and he hasn't settled with Shen Ruo just now.

With her back against the window, Shen Ruo moved to the side, but Chu Xiao kept looking at him, her face not very good.

"You say first, who threatened you, is it her?"

Chu Xiao was referring to Utiya, because he had just made a phone call, so Shen Ruo understood what he meant, he shook his head, the Duchess did not threaten him.

"No." Shen Ruo's voice was small.

"No, then you just said you would die."

Brows furrowed, Chu Xiao was a little concerned about what Shen Ruo said, especially after experiencing a series of strange actions by Shen Ruo before, as well as those coincidences.

Shen Ruo couldn't give an explanation, and it was just his own idea that he would die. The book only said that he had no news of him. In fact, it didn't say that he died. He was just guessing at the worst outcome.

"You just want to leave?"

Chu Xiao asked Shen Ruo with a sullen face. He didn't wait for an answer, so he subconsciously concluded that Shen Ruo said's death was just an excuse for his eagerness to leave here.

Subconsciously, Shen Ruo wanted to nod, but seeing Chu Xiao's expression, he didn't dare to do this.

"Shen Ruo, tell me, why am I not treating you well?"

The tone of voice sounded extremely irritable, Chu Xiao was naturally unwilling to this subhuman who had never eaten his mouth, but he also knew that he had always been uneasy and kind to Shen Ruo.

Chu Xiao knew that he was not a good person, just like Jiang Chen said.

But that day when he took Shen Ruo to buy clothes, he and Jiang Chen actually didn't say anything.

This is the person that the old man decided. In Chu Xiao's heart, he didn't just want to play, but he also had other thoughts, but he didn't want to let the second person other than him know.

And he didn't even tell anyone. When he saw Shen Ruo for the first time, he was very interested. This demi-human looks too much to his taste, and his figure is even more so.

It wasn't some bullshit love at first sight, he was just blinded by a word of color. After seeing Shen Ruo's first glance, after sizing up his figure, he wanted to abduct him to the bed and taste the body hidden under his clothes. How about it.

As for what he likes or not, Chu Xiao himself hasn't figured it out yet, but it's hard to come across someone who likes it.

The picture of Shen Ruo sitting alone in the hall arranging flowers that day flashed in Chu Xiao's mind.

warm

Throughout the whole scene, Shen Ruo looked up at him, always showing a sweet and sweet smile.

Shen Ruo was soft and sweet, always reminding him of the taste of toffee.

The kind of softness that had been touched in the bottom of my heart, and those moments of throbbing, Chu Xiao never cared about it, even now.

He actually never thought that he would meet someone he could like. There were too many men and women in Emperor Star, but none of them could keep him interested for such a long time.

Chu Xiao never thought that there would be such a person in the world, who knew it was him the first time he saw him.

But now Chu Xiao knows that he still doesn't want to let Shen Ruo go, there is no reason, or in other words, there is no other reason, he just wants to fall in love with him.
