Xiang Xiaolou's face turned pale. Although she had no feelings for Ruan Mingyuan, the person she had been with for so long, he opened his eyes and looked at her half an hour ago, but now he stopped breathing just like that, and those eyes were no longer there. will open.

From now on, there is no such person as Ruan Mingyuan in the world. Ruan Lutang has no mother, and now even his father is gone.

Such words suddenly popped up in Xiang Xiaolou's mind, she looked at Ruan Lutang pitifully, and suddenly felt distressed from the bottom of her heart.But in the next second, Xiang Xiaolou was startled by his own reaction.

How could she subconsciously think of Ruan Lutang's psychological state first?Ruan Mingyuan died, she should feel sorry for herself the most!

She didn't get a certificate with Ruan Mingyuan. Although she lives in Ruan's house now, she has no name and no role. Once Ruan Mingyuan died, it was not a matter of Ruan Lutang driving her out.

Xiang Xiaolou's face turned paler, and the sadness in his eyes became more serious, but this time it was not for Ruan Lutang, but for herself.

She is afraid of being poor.

Xiang Xiaolou has a father who is addicted to gambling, and a mother who is hardworking but cowardly.As far as she could remember, she had never seen her father work, playing cards outside all night and never coming home.If you win, you spend time with your poker friends, and if you lose, you go home and play tricks.Either they took away the money from mother's hard work, or they even coaxed, coaxed, coerced and lured her even her little pocket money.

Xiang Xiaolou said that he has never been to a canteen with his classmates, and he has never been willing to buy a bottle of mineral water. The first time he ate western food in his life was a birthday treat for his roommate.

That western meal was not upscale, but it made her see a whole new world.

She was sitting in the dining room, unable to distinguish between her left and right hands when holding a knife and fork, and the medium-rare steak was not to her liking, but Xiang Xiaolou ate it carefully bite by bite, together with her vigorous ambition.

From then on, Xiang Xiaolou secretly swore in her heart that she would not go back to the days when she would spend a dollar on her fingers, and she must live a life where she would not worry about money.

And the easiest and quickest way to become rich is to climb on any tall branch.

She rejected everyone's pursuit, worked hard, graduated as an outstanding graduate, and joined a well-known domestic listed company, just to climb up hard so as to attach the highest branch.

Xiang Xiaolou's painstaking efforts were not in vain. She participated in an important project and successfully approached Ruan Mingyuan.Half a year later, she became Ruan Mingyuan's lover.

Ruan Mingyuan is a very masculine person, he likes Xiang Xiaolou, so he feels that Xiang Xiaolou should be sheltered.He ordered Xiang Xiaolou to resign and concentrate on preparing for being a full-time wife at home.

Xiang Xiaolou obediently obeyed, threw himself into Ruan Mingyuan's cage, and happily made a canary.

And now, it's time for her to pay for her vanity.

The industry that Xiang Xiaolou was in before, technology is changing with each passing day, she has been out of touch for so long, it is difficult to keep up with others.Besides, her current status is embarrassing, as Ruan Mingyuan's "widow", if she starts from the bottom, Ruan Mingyuan will lose face.But no one would sell her such a big face if she was to be airborne to high-level officials.

What's more, Xiang Xiaolou and Ruan Mingyuan lived extravagantly during the half a year they were together.Ruan Mingyuan was busy with work and didn't have time to accompany her, so he threw her unlimited secondary cards one after another, allowing her to go shopping, beautify and play mahjong with Mrs. Bie Jiakuo.

She loves money and also loves extravagant life, Xiang Xiaolou never denies this.She was used to this kind of life, and she didn't plan to go back to the original hard life.

Xiang Xiaolou doesn't love Ruan Mingyuan, she sees herself as a commodity and Ruan Mingyuan as the owner of such a commodity.

"Ruan Mingyuan is dead." These five words lingered in Xiang Xiaolou's mind for a long time.

Xiang Xiaolou clenched his fists, and looked at Ruan Lutang with burning eyes: the product will be sold for a second time, and Ruan Lutang must become the new owner.

……

Ruan Lutang put down her phone, her expression was normal, even though she was announcing the death of her biological father word by word, there was no special emotion on her face, only a few traces of grief were hidden deep in her eyes.

"Are you okay?" She lowered her eyes, put her arms around Xiang Xiaolou's shoulders, and asked her in a low voice.

Xiang Xiaolou glanced at her hand on his shoulder, not knowing whether to be happy or sad.She tried her best, but she couldn't make Ruan Lutang go off the rails, but the news of Ruan Mingyuan's death made Ruan Lutang take the initiative to embrace her for the first time.Although Ruan Lutang was only afraid that she would be too sad and unstable.

But this also made Xiang Xiaolou understand Ruan Lutang's attitude—she hated and hated Ruan Mingyuan, but she also hoped that Xiang Xiaolou, who was by his side, would have some genuine affection for him.

Xiang Xiaolou immediately covered his face and shook his head in disbelief: "I just, I just can't believe that President Ruan just left."

She was already pale with fright at the news of Ruan Mingyuan's death, and worried about her origin, she really looked like she was in grief and flustered.

Ruan Lutang looked at her like this, her voice softened a little, and she comforted her: "He has you to accompany him for the last journey, so he will have no regrets. I would like to express my condolences to Miss Xiang."

Xiang Xiaolou took a deep look into her eyes, seeing the grief in her eyes, his heart trembled.

Obviously Ruan Lvtang was the one who lost her loved one, but he still took her emotions into consideration, suppressed her grief alone, and comforted her patiently.

Xiang Xiaolou forcibly suppressed the strange feeling in his heart, held Ruan Lutang's hand and squeezed it: "My condolences too."

This time, Ruan Lutang didn't pull out his hand again.

Ruan Mingyuan's body was quickly brought back to the Ruan family. According to the Ruan family's custom, he had to lie in an ice coffin, and Ruan Lutang would guard his spirit overnight, and cremation and burial would take place the next day.

The body was placed in the hall of Ruan's house. Ruan Mingyuan was put on a Chinese-style shroud, and lay in an ice coffin with his eyes closed. His body was full of signs of being tortured by illness.There are deep creases between the eyebrows, and the cheeks are deeply sunken because they haven't eaten for days.

It was getting late, and the lights in the room were turned on, and the pale lights came down, illuminating the countless fine traces of water condensed by freezing on the transparent ice coffin.And Ruan Mingyuan was lying below, with a peaceful face and a feeling of unreality.

Ruan Lutang stood aside and looked at him coldly, then turned around and left with Pei Zhao.

Looking at Ruan Mingyuan's tightly closed eyes, Xiang Xiaolou was in a daze. When she recovered, she only saw Ruan Lutang's back, and she and Pei Zhao entered the study at the corner.

They didn't know what they talked about, they closed the door tightly and didn't come out for a long time.

Xiang Xiaolou stood in front of the ice coffin, absently pressing the transparent coffin lid with his hands, and kept glancing towards the study.

She saw the butler enter the study, and came out in less than 2 minutes. She walked straight towards her and said politely, "Miss Xiang, it's getting late. You've been tired all day, so you can go to bed early."

The housekeeper always called her Miss Xiang, but this time "Miss Xiang" was less respectful than before, but more alienated.

"I'm not tired, let's talk about it..." Xiang Xiaolou said with a smile while turning his head towards the ice coffin.

But in the next moment, Xiang Xiaolou realized the meaning behind what the housekeeper said - she was not from the Ruan family, and she was not even qualified to guard Ruan Mingyuan's spirit.

Xiang Xiaolou's smile froze at the corner of her mouth, and she looked at the butler anxiously.

The butler laughed pitifully, and said, "Miss Xiang, we are here to take care of you, so you can rest first."

He used the word "we" to draw a clear dividing line with Xiang Xiaolou, excluding Xiang Xiaolou from the scope of the Ruan family.

Biting his chin, Xiang Xiaolou sneaked to the door of the study while no one was paying attention, turned slightly sideways, and put his ear on it.

She heard that in the study, Pei Zhao was asking, "What are you going to do with those people left behind by Uncle Ruan?"

"How can I deal with it?" Ruan Lvtang chuckled, "They are people, not objects. Can I just throw them away?"

Pei Zhao knocked on the table in dissatisfaction, and said emphatically, "I'm serious, and you should be serious too."

He restrained his cynical tone, and said earnestly: "Uncle Ruan knew that after you took over the company, there must be some people who would be dissatisfied, so he left a lot of people for you, all of whom worked hard with him. Very useful."

"All?" Ruan Lvtang glanced at the door, and his eyes shifted to the ground. There was a bright light in the gap between the door and the floor, and there were two oblique shadows in the middle, which were the shadows of two slender legs belonging to a woman.

So she raised her tone, suppressed her smile, and said loudly, "Not necessarily."

"Huh?" Pei Zhao looked at her suspiciously, thinking that Ruan Lutang had made some big discovery.

Ruan Lutang continued: "Isn't the Xiang Xiaolou he left behind useless to me?"

"..." Pei Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, "You cheap little mother?"

He said jokingly: "Anyway, she is also Uncle Ruan's sweetheart, so you should help Uncle Ruan fulfill her wish and raise her for the rest of her life."

Ruan Lutang looked at him with a half-smile, but still looked at the two shadows from the corner of the eye: "Why should I keep those that are useless to me?"

Pei Zhao laughed dryly: "It's too heartless, Mr. Ruan."

Ruan Lutang ignored him, looked at the two shadows and trembled a few times, and staggered away.

Ruan Lutang is the only relative of Ruan Mingyuan, and according to the rules, he has to kneel on the futon in front of the ice coffin all night to keep watch.

She sent the housekeeper away, and the room fell silent, as if there was no one else besides her.

But she is not lonely, calls come in from time to time, it is Ruan Mingyuan's business partner, or friends far and near, expressing their regret for his death, and please Ruan Lutang's condolences.

Too many polite words made her a little thirsty.In addition, Ruan Lutang had been kneeling for a long time, and her legs began to feel numb, so she simply stood up and walked to the kitchen, firstly to drink some water, and secondly to move around.

Ruan Lutang didn't turn on the light, so she took a bottle of water under the thin moonlight, unscrewed it and drank a couple of sips, and when she turned her head, she saw Xiang Xiaolou standing at the door of the kitchen.

Xiang Xiaolou was wearing a silk nightdress. The smooth and drapey fabric outlined a plump figure. The corners of the skirt hung on her calf, and it was blown non-stop by the gentle night wind, patting gently on her fair skin. kiss.

She walked towards Ruan Lutang, stretched out her hand to hook her arm, leaned over and pushed herself over, and said softly, "Xiaotang, I'm a little scared."

Ruan Lutang looked at her coldly, and suddenly laughed: "Ruan Mingyuan's body is not cold yet, so you can't wait to seduce his daughter in front of his coffin?"

The author has something to say: Xiaolou should be the one who best fits the title of "vicious female supporting role", but I love evil females so much XD
