Push Me Away When I Come, Don't Hold Me Back When I Leave - Chapter 100

Chapter 100: Sister Qinghan, Is Your Car Still in Chengdu?

***

“Speaking of which, Sister Qinghan, is your car still in Chengdu?” Xia Ruoming stirred her porridge with a spoon, asking casually. Actually, before coming to Hangzhou, Xia Ruoming had already secretly ordered a hardtop Ferrari LaFerrari for Xiao Qinghan. Without any optional extras, it cost only 23 million yuan after taxes.

When Xiao Qinghan went back to pack her luggage, this car was already parked in the garage of Linyu Villa. However, they had been so busy with many things these past few days that Xia Ruoming had forgotten about it, only remembering now.

“Yes, what’s the matter?” Xiao Qinghan seemed to not yet realize the seriousness of the situation, responding carelessly. As for the car, she didn’t really need it right now.

“Nothing, nothing. Sister Qinghan, come out with me later, I have something to discuss with you,” Xia Ruoming said.

“Oh, okay.” Xiao Qinghan didn’t think much of it. After all, Xia Ruoming often took her out every other day. Being new to Hangzhou, there were indeed many things to handle, and she didn’t have many urgent matters at the company for now.

After breakfast, Xia Ruoming leaned back in her chair to rest for a while. She knew this could easily accumulate fat, but there was no choice. Fat could be burned through more exercise, but standing right after eating would actually increase pressure on the stomach. If it led to gastroptosis, that would truly be a loss not worth taking, it could be life-threatening.

In her previous life, she had seen many people who ended up with gastroptosis trying to avoid getting a belly by standing after meals. Although most symptoms weren’t severe, she thought it was simply… a bit crazy. Not exercising regularly but trying to lose weight by standing after meals, isn’t that ridiculous?

“Xia Ruoming,” Jiang Ruhua suddenly called out to her from the side.

“Hmm? What is it, little princess?”

Opening her eyes, Xia Ruoming saw an extremely hesitant expression on Jiang Ruhua’s face, not knowing what she was thinking about.

“This weekend at Guiyu Mountain House, there’s a socialite party. I received an invitation here in Hangzhou. Ruoming, go attend it in my place.”

Jiang Ruhua hesitated for a long time before speaking. She really wanted to help Xia Ruoming. Given how Xia Ruoming had previously turned 4 million into who knows how much money, meeting one or two people at a socialite party would definitely help her future career flourish like a fish in water. But she was also afraid, afraid that Xia Ruoming was too capable, and she would have no means to keep Xia Ruoming close to her in the future, causing Xia Ruoming to drift away.

“Oh, why doesn’t little princess go herself?” Xia Ruoming asked curiously.

“Look at my condition, do I look like I can go?!” Jiang Ruhua glared at Xia Ruoming, saying dissatisfiedly. Although this wasn’t the real reason, she still needed to maintain her attitude.

“Pfft… little princess, if you’re going to lie to me, at least come up with a better excuse. By the weekend, you’ll be fully recovered, won’t you?” Xia Ruoming shook her head while holding her forehead. Little princess was still so childish, not even knowing how to make up a proper lie.

“Fine! I just don’t want to go, is that not allowed?!” After being exposed, Jiang Ruhua became agitated. “Besides, there will be many practical rich second-generation at that socialite party. Since you’re starting your own business, it would be very helpful to network with them.”

Hearing these words from Jiang Ruhua, Xia Ruoming narrowed her eyes, hiding her somewhat sharp gaze.

Going to such gatherings would indeed greatly help her career. She also knew the backgrounds of many rich second-generation, understanding who she could and couldn’t cooperate with. But little princess had never done anything to help her unconditionally. Usually, when she said such things, it was like a fox paying a New Year’s visit to a chicken, there were no good intentions. So she didn’t dare to agree immediately.

“What do you want, little princess?” Xia Ruoming stared at Jiang Ruhua with a deep gaze, making her feel uneasy.

Xia Ruoming remembered asking the same question in her previous life. That time, Jiang Ruhua, who had finally won, laughed so hard she could barely breathe, completely disregarding others’ looks.

She even felt she could guess what Jiang Ruhua would say next.

But Jiang Ruhua gave her an unexpected answer.

“Hmm? What do I want? I don’t want anything, I just simply don’t want to go to the party, that’s all?” Jiang Ruhua looked at Xia Ruoming with complete confusion, not understanding why she would ask this question.

Xia Ruoming was also confused. This wasn’t what she had expected. Are you really little princess? Could you have been possessed?

After carefully thinking for a long time about what schemes little princess might have, and hesitating for a while, Xia Ruoming finally agreed to go to the party in Jiang Ruhua’s place.

“Alright, little princess, I’ll go in your place. But doesn’t this party require an invitation or something?” Xia Ruoming asked. After all, in her previous life, even her charity art exhibition required invitations. Surely this kind of exclusive event wouldn’t not need one? It would be embarrassing if they asked for an invitation when she got there.

“No need, Brother Huaiyun will meet you at the entrance. With Brother Huaiyun there, who needs an invitation?” Jiang Ruhua shook her head.

“Sigh… okay.” Xia Ruoming nodded in agreement to this matter. “Little princess, I have something to do this afternoon and need to go out. The spare key is in the bedside table drawer in your bedroom. If you need to go out, remember to take it.”

When Jiang Ruhua heard Xia Ruoming’s words, her face immediately darkened. She felt Xia Ruoming was mocking her again.

“Xia Ruoming, do you think I look like I can go out by myself in my current condition?”

“Who knows?” Xia Ruoming shrugged. After all, in her previous life, she knew that little princess’s favorite thing to do was running around everywhere while sick. As Jiang Ruhua’s lover, she couldn’t really let Jiang Ruhua faint somewhere outside, which often made her suffer terribly.

Jiang Ruhua just snorted coldly, not continuing to argue with Xia Ruoming.

“Sister Qinghan!” After dealing with this matter, Xia Ruoming directly called out to Xiao Qinghan.

Seeing Xiao Qinghan come out, Xia Ruoming didn’t dawdle, directly getting up and pulling Xiao Qinghan towards the door.

“Ruoming, I haven’t even changed my shoes yet, wait, ah…” Xiao Qinghan’s strength was far less than Xia Ruoming, and she was dazedly pulled all the way to the garage.

Although Linyu Villa wasn’t large, it did have an independent garage.

“How is it, Sister Qinghan, beautiful isn’t it?” Xia Ruoming brought Xiao Qinghan in front of the brand new hardtop Ferrari LaFerrari she had ordered, pointing at the car while speaking to her.

The red paint streamlined body, raised waistline, luxurious rear design, and tough appearance was absolutely the dream car of most young men in their youth, but its appeal to women was definitely not lacking either.

To put it bluntly, driving this car out, most of the time even straight women who shouldn’t be interested would become not so straight.

“It really is beautiful.” Xiao Qinghan said softly. How could anyone say it wasn’t beautiful?
