Seeing Xu Jiaorou's lips curl up slightly, I could guess her complacency. Although my EQ wasn't very high, I had experienced a lot of passionate relationships, so I had a good understanding of girls.
I'm afraid that this woman has developed a favorable impression of me. If it were any other male, they would definitely be excited to the point of becoming a complete mess. One has to know that even in the capital, Xu Jiaorou is one of the top golden branches and jade leaves. The number of outstanding men chasing after her is as numerous as the hairs on an ox. However, when it comes to her zodiac year, Xu Jiaorou still remains single. Perhaps it's not that she has high standards, but that she hasn't met someone who is fated to meet her.
To be honest, even though I knew that Xu Jiaorou had an unusual good impression of me, I didn't dare to take that step. I had too many women by my side, and even I felt ashamed. Even if Elder Xu didn't mind, I couldn't blindly accept them. It would be an irresponsible act.
Just like Hsieh Shih-chi, who had a 'tense' relationship with me. In order to escape from me, she had even flown abroad. It was because of my stubbornness. Sigh, I was actually struggling inside. After all, I had too many things on my shoulders, the most important of which was the Blood Demon.
If I could kill him, many problems would be easily solved. On the contrary, if I failed, those who were related to me, no matter if they were my friends or my women, wouldn't have a good ending. Even if the Blood Demon didn't want to find trouble with them, those who had a grudge against me wouldn't miss this opportunity.
Not to mention the Ouyang family and the Zhao family, the most likely target was the Wu Teng Group from the Wei Nation. This time, their plan had failed again. Only two insignificant people had died, so they wouldn't let it go. Moreover, they had a strong backer in the capital, so they naturally wouldn't be afraid.
Today, I took the initiative to mention this matter to Elder Luo in hopes that he would pay attention to it. To be honest, I wasn't afraid of the Wei Nation targeting me. However, if there was a hidden danger, the Wei Nation might know Hua Xia's top secret. The stakes in this matter couldn't be underestimated!
There was too much pressure on me, and I couldn't guarantee that I could give them the happiness they wanted. Even if it was just a peaceful life, a person's life was very long. There were twenty or thirty thousand days, and we hadn't even walked a third of it. If I was unfortunate enough to fall, they would inevitably be implicated.
This is what I'm most worried about and afraid of. That's why, as long as I have the time, I will concentrate on cultivating and pondering. Only when I have the strength to be unafraid of all schemes and schemes can I truly feel safe!
Actually, this was a kind of pressure that was hard to express. Unlike half a year ago, when I found out that the child in sister-in-law's belly was mine, I was more ignorant at that time, and my ability to withstand pressure was limited. But now, after going through several life and death situations, my personality had undergone a fundamental transformation.
"Hehe, Elder Xu, things like feelings, just leave it to fate," although I said it rather tactfully, it was still an indirect rejection.
Xu Lao was slightly stunned and his face stiffened. If he hadn't seen my performance with his own eyes, he would have scolded me for not knowing how to appreciate favors.
"Xiao Zhuang, it's said that it's a waste of youth if one isn't romantic. In this aspect, you are rare. From this old man's point of view, you should have a good impression of Xiao Rou, right?"
Xu Lao frowned and was a bit unhappy. He had a premonition that if he didn't strike while the iron was hot, he might miss this rich husband.
"Why do you say that …" I braced myself and asked.
"As far as I know, Xiao Rou obtained a formula for her company, but there were some problems. Not only did you successfully help her improve the formula, but you also agreed to cooperate with the Charming Women's Company. From your standpoint, there shouldn't be a need for you to climb up a higher branch. Moreover, before this, you didn't know her identity. If you don't have a good impression of her, then what is it?" Xu Lao questioned.
"Eh …" I was somewhat speechless and embarrassed. What I said was right, but as a hot-blooded man, seeing such a sexy and charming strong woman like Xu Jiaorou, it was hard to not feel pity. Moreover, she repeatedly asked me. To me, it was only a slight effort. Moreover, if the Black Mud Facial Mask Company wanted to further develop, they would need some business partners. Xu Jiaorou was the most suitable candidate.
"Alright, grandpa, I don't like him at all. Why are you saying all this!" Xu Jiaorou lightly shouted.
"Xiao Rou, some things, it's better to take the initiative …" Before Xu Lao could finish, he was interrupted by Xu Jiaorou.
"Don't say anymore. It's so annoying. It's not like no one wants me. Is there a need to push me away?
If … "Xu Jiaorou was so angry that she turned her head and glared at Xu Lao. At this time, an old man happened to pass by with unsteady steps.
"Careful."
Since the speed of the car wasn't too fast, and my reaction was quick, I reached out and pressed on Xu Jiaorou's knee to stop the car.
"Squeak ~ ~ ~" The sound of the car's tires being pulled made the old man jump in fright and fall to the ground. Perhaps it was because she saw that the car was expensive, she quickly apologized and said that she wasn't trying to scam us.
Since it was just a false alarm, we didn't argue with her. We just told her to be more careful when crossing the road in the future.
After this small episode, the atmosphere was really a bit awkward. Since we weren't far from the Guowei Dojo, Grandmaster Chen took the initiative to suggest that we walk there. Xu Lao just snorted and didn't ask us to stay. Xu Jiaorou's eyes were red. She turned her head away and didn't want to look at me.
Sigh, seeing her pitiful look, I felt a bit guilty. Maybe I shouldn't have been so serious. If I just casually dealt with it, it wouldn't have made everyone unhappy.
After saying goodbye to them, Grandmaster Chen teased, "How is it? You've tasted the bitter fruit of being too outstanding, haven't you?"
"Cough, cough. Master, I'm worried to death. Don't rejoice in my misfortune." I smiled bitterly.
