Chapter 178: Split Up
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Chen Lian couldn’t help but sneer, “As expected of our eldest granddaughter. She’s so ambitious. Let’s split into two groups. We’ll continue searching for Xia Wan’s family and try to find the token as soon as possible. As for Xia Ru, since you’re so capable, you should delay Lu Lin as long as you can. At least, don’t let him come to our house every day and cause trouble.”
Since Xia Ru had already put it that way and Chen Lian had responded so quickly, she had no choice but to accept Chen Lian’s suggestion.
Hence, the group split into two. Chen Lian and Xia Ye were in charge of finding Xia Wan’s home. Xia Ye also contacted some of her cla.s.smates in town to find out where Xia Wan lived.
Xia Ye’s cla.s.smates were quite familiar with the town. They knew which houses were for rent and how to find them. They enthusiastically brought Xia Ye to look for the people who were renting houses.
As they were not sure which house Xia Wan rented, Xia Ye and the others knocked on each door to confirm.
However, Xia Ye felt that Xia Wan’s family still owed a huge sum of medical expenses, so they did not have much money on hand. The houses they found were very ordinary and even a little old.
In the end, after searching for a few hours, they failed to find where Xia Wan and the others were staying. Some people even looked at Xia Ye in a bad mood because all that knocking disturbed their peace.
Xia Ye’s cla.s.smates had been scolded so much that they were not in the mood to help Xia Ye look for her. All they felt was bad luck.
Xia Ru was much smarter. She knew that with Lu Lin’s status, she would definitely choose the most expensive hotel in the town. She worked in town and was very familiar with these things.
Xia Ru first changed into a new set of clothes, bought some cosmetics, and patted her face before coming to the most expensive hotel. After asking the hotel owner for Lu Lin’s room number, Xia Ru went to the door.
As Xia Ru knocked on the door, Lu Lin, who was originally eating and drinking in her room, opened the door impatiently.
Seeing that it was Xia Ru, Lu Lin’s eyes were filled with disdain. “Why is it you? Have you found the token? Are you pa.s.sing it to me?”
Xia Ru pinched her thigh hard, and her eyes reddened immediately. She said pitifully, “My parents are already looking for the token. Young master Lu, I know that our family doesn’t dare to be a.s.sociated with you. Your family background and status aren’t something our family can compare to.
“But I’ve known that I have a fiancé since I was a child. I fantasize all day long about what kind of image he would have, but I’m afraid I won’t be able to keep up with his thinking. So, I often follow the people around me to learn and enrich my experience so that one day I can be worthy of my fiancé.
“When I first saw you, you were so handsome, and your skin was so well-maintained. I felt like I was looking at a G.o.d from heaven. You might not know this, but at that moment, my heart was beating very fast. I thought that things like heartbeats only appeared in books, but after seeing you, I believed
it.”
As Xia Ru spoke, she took another step closer and pressed her body against Lu Lin. Lu Lin could even hear her breathing.
“Even if I can’t become your wife, I still want to give you my first time. Can you consider it as fulfilling my dream of so many years?”
As she said that, Xia Ru’s hand touched Lu Lin’s chest. Her eyes were ambiguous as she stared at Lu Lin.
When Lu Lin was at home, he often went out with his friends, sang karaoke at bars, and played with many women. After coming to this town, he had been wronged. First, he was provoked by Xia Wan and lost his face. Then, he had to go to the Xia family’s dilapidated village to ask for a token.
Lu Lin was in a foul mood. Now that Xia Ru had taken the initiative to throw herself into his arms, Lu Lin immediately pulled her into them.
“At least you’re sensible. Today, I’ll fulfill your dream of so many years. Don’t worry. As long as you obediently hand over the token, I’ll do my best to help you if your family encounters any difficulties.”
Then, Lu Lin brought Xia Ru to her room, and the two had s.e.x..
