Chapter 821: Why Must It Be Mine?
Ku Jie found a box and placed the watch in it before he put it on the bedside table in the bedroom.
He continued following the female singer, but Ku Jie seemed to have lost interest in the secrets of the villa, so after Ren Xinghe moved out of the villa, Ku Jie never patronized the surroundings of the villa again.
In order to keep himself busy, Ku Jie changed his mind and became a German student at a training inst.i.tution near the X Society. As soon as he wore gla.s.ses and picked up books, no one could tell that he would be 30 years old in his white s.h.i.+rt and blue casual suit. As soon as he wore it, he actually looked just like a student.
Once, Jiang Yuning told him to stop worrying about the Jiang family, because she wanted him to forget the past and start a new life.
For this reason, Ku Jie has made many attempts and was busy every day. However, whether it was a new career or new friends, for him, nothing couls leave a trace in his heart.
In the months when he knew Jiang Yuning was pregnant, only Ren Xinghe’s unwilling eyes could really leave an impression in his mind.
He had money, status, and he knew eighteen kinds of martial arts. He seemed to have everything, but he did not know why he felt all of these emptiness, numbness and he had no feelings at all.
And after Ren Xinghe finished saying that sentence with him, he didn’t delete her but they did not communicate with one another anymore.
“Brother Jie, my grandma is arguing about buying health care products again. Would you help me forward a link to dispel the rumors?” Xiao K called Ku Jie on the way to follow the female singer to record her, “I am really annoyed by my grandma. No, those unscrupulous merchants cheat money all day long, and when I have time, I will report these brain-dead fools.”
“Are there any new developments over there?” Ku Jie asked by the way.
“There is no progress, the female singer is very careful, but she has been driving out recently to go near the munic.i.p.al third middle school.”
Hearing that she was loitering near the third city middle school, Ku Jie pushed the frame on the bridge of his nose: “If she goes there again, call me.”
“Understood, quickly help me to share the article!”
Xiao K hung up the phone, and Ku Jie went to WeChat to forward the rumor-defying message for Xiao K very perfunctorily.
This was the tenth day after Ku Jie and Ren Xinghe had cleared everything between them. Ku Jie drove to the small courtyard and stayed in front of the door for several hours.
After nightfall, the lights in Luo City were dim.
Ku Jie originally planned to leave the neighborhood, but as soon as he pressed the start b.u.t.ton, he saw a glowing red figure that crashed into his line of sight.
That should be the working clothes of the nearby video game city.
With such heavy schoolwork, she had to attend boxing cla.s.s, go for math tuition, and go to work?
Even if she had to depend on herself just because she did not want to rely on her parents, did she really have to work so hard to pursue her job? Wouldn’t she be tired?
Ku Jie watched Ren Xinghe enter the house and prepared to leave again. At this time, a few boys in the uniform of the No. 3 High School hid behind the banyan tree and sneakily pointed at Ren Xinghe’s house.
Ku Jie wanted to pretend that he hadn’t seen it, but his hands on the steering wheel didn’t do anything.
In the end, he resignedly put it down, pushed the car door, took out his cell phone, and sent a voice to Ren Xinghe: “Come out and open the door.”
Ren Xinghe: “???”
Ku Jie held the book, walked around the street, and walked towards the gate of the small courtyard. At this time, Ren Xinghe came out and opened the door. When she saw Ku Jie, she was shocked.
Ku Jie handed the book to Ren Xinghe, but he did not go in. Instead, he leaned back to observe the boys, and asked Ren Xinghe, “Which ones are your cla.s.smates?”
Ren Xinghe followed the probe outwards, frowning slightly as she said, “I don’t know them.”
“Be careful on the way home from now on, notify me immediately if something happens. If possible, try to remember their names, and I will call your school.”
The boys thought that Ku Jie was Ren Xinghe’s brother and they were all very guilty, as they blushed and scattered from behind the tree.
After the others left, Ren Xinghe understood his intentions and returned the book to him: “Unexpectedly, the paparazzo still learns German. So, why are you here? A coincidence?”
Ku Jie looked at Ren Xinghe and realized that she hadn’t taken off her red work clothes: “My colleague said that your stepmother always drove around by car recently, so I came to take a look.”
Ren Xinghe had never seen the appearance of Ku Jie with a framed gla.s.ses. His whole person looked softer, but he was also more cold and alienated: “I seem to have owed you again.”
After thinking about it, Ren Xinghe took out a stack of coupons from her pocket: “I only have this now.”
“Little Star, is there any guests?” Grandma Ren shouted behind them.
“Well, grandma, it is that friend who helped us to find a house.”
“Invite him in for a light meal. The food just came out of the pot and it’s warm.”
Ren Xinghe looked at Ku Jie with some embarra.s.sment as she said: “Is it convenient? Since you want to pretend to be my brother, should I go in first?”
This time, Ren Xinghe had no qualms and she smiled slightly as she looked at him. Her long hair is slightly curled and drifting in the wind.
“Come in.” When she saw that Ku Jie didn’t refuse, Ren Xinghe dragged him into the courtyard.
“Such a handsome boy? Is he a mixed race?” Grandma Ren smiled when she saw Ku Jie.
“My grandmother is a bit of control.” Ren Xinghe took the tableware from her grandmother, and then motioned for Ku Jie to sit down, “Although you are a paparazzo, you are really handsome.”
Ku Jie had seen the photos of the small courtyard before and knew that it was elegant, but it was also a bit shabby. For example, the screws of the chandelier under the eaves have been loosened long ago, and the chairs in the courtyard would make strange creaking noises when they sat on them.
“Is there a toolbox at home?” Ku Jie asked when he picked up the tableware.
Ren Xinghe nodded: “Looks like there is one, left by the former owner.”
“I will talk less. So, grandma, please forgive me…” Ku Jie also nodded, but this time, he was speaking to Grandma Ren.
After that, he waited for grandma to wave her hand, showing that she doesn’t care.
In fact, Ku Jie had very strong social skills, as could be seen from his industry, but the occasions when wearing a mask and not wearing a mask were different.
When he was facing Ren Xinghe, how could he not be able to speak as much as he did in front of Jiang Yuning? However, at this moment he realized that in front of Jiang Yuning, he might not have shown his truest side, but was he now?
During the meal, the three of them had nothing much to say. Grandma Ren occasionally asked a few words, and Ku Jie was able to deal with it easily.
After the meal, Ren Xinghe went to take out the toolbox. Just about to ask Ku Jie what he would do when he took a chair and walked to the porch. He took the tools from Ren Xinghe and fixed the screws on the yard. He also strengthened their chairs for them.
“Is there anything you don’t know?” Ren Xinghe asked, as she stood behind him.
“I will hang some men’s clothes there in the future.” Ku Jie, who had finished repairing the chair, pointed to the laundry area and said.
Ren Xinghe knew his purpose of reminding her to do so. When he got up, she quickly asked, “Do you have any old clothes that you are not wearing anymore?”
“Why must it be mine?”
“I don’t know other men.” Ren Xinghe’s excuses were always well-founded.
