Chapter 11 Luo 9 Yu, Do You Have Money?
Chapter 11 Luo 9 Yu, Do You Have Money?
He called again, and if she didn't answer, he immediately drove away.
Hua Meimei glanced at the time; it was almost eleven o'clock, time to go home.
Just as I was about to open the ride-hailing app, the call that she had just hung up on came in again.
Nowadays, if a sales call is hung up on once, it usually won't come back. If it is, then the caller might really have something important to say.
"Hello?" she asked casually.
She picked up her bag, got up, and walked outside.
"I'm in the car, going home."
Luo Jiuyu's deep, magnetic voice came from the other end of the phone.
"What?" Flower Berry was completely confused.
She happened to walk outside and saw a car with its headlights on.
The words were too concise for her to understand.
Does he mean he's in this car, taking her home?
She didn't know this was Luo Jiuyu's usual car, and hesitantly walked forward.
How did he end up here? What's even stranger is that he kindly offered to take her home.
"Get in the car." Luo Jiuyu rolled down the window and confirmed with her that it was his car.
Her face lit up with joy. "Oh, that saves me the taxi fare!"
"..." Luo Jiuyu's face twitched.
She opened the passenger door, climbed in, and quickly fastened her seatbelt.
"You didn't come all this way just to pick me up, did you?" She tilted her head to look at him, teasing him.
She knew in her heart that this was impossible.
"Passing by."
"So this is your car." She said meaningfully.
The car is not bad, but it doesn't quite suit his status as the youngest son of the richest family in Tiancheng.
Doesn't everyone in their family drive a top-of-the-line luxury car?
His driving a car worth hundreds of thousands of yuan also proves that he is not favored in the Luo family.
"Why are you so late?" he asked.
The car was driving smoothly on the road at a moderate speed.
It was warm inside the car, and she yawned, feeling sleepy.
"I'm busy with work. Have you just finished work too?" She closed her eyes, preparing to take a nap.
He gave a soft "hmm".
The initial question was successfully phrased. He has a job.
"Do you work nearby?" she asked casually, her eyes still closed.
He hummed in agreement again.
There are no Luo family properties in this area, except for Xinghai Plaza where she just ate her hamburger.
The mall was dark and there was no one working inside, so he didn't come from there.
The most famous office building in this business district is the headquarters of Huanyu Group.
Surrounding this group's building are many stylish office buildings.
Berry Company is located right next to this commercial area, on its outer edge. The rent is slightly lower than inside the area, but the location isn't too bad.
"Are you working for someone else?" She opened her eyes and looked at him calmly.
I was accidentally captivated by his profile... His face is so handsome, with such sharp, chiseled features.
Perhaps because of the cramped space in the car and the close proximity, the atmosphere felt quite different from when the two of them were at home.
"You want to know about my life?" He noticed her scrutinizing gaze and slowly turned his head to look at her.
His deep eyes gleamed with a mysterious, alluring light, like those of the night.
"No." She looked away.
"Are you interested in me?" he teased.
"Don't flatter yourself." She had her own plans.
Why does this conversation seem so familiar?
"..."
He drove quietly.
She closed her eyes to rest.
After a while, a casual remark came out of her mouth.
"Luo Jiuyu, do you have money?"
This was the first time she had called him by his name.
He coughed lightly. "What?"
"I want to borrow money from you." She opened her eyes again and looked at him. "Five million."
He coughed again.
"It would be even better if you could lend me ten million." She didn't hesitate to increase the amount.
"Do you think I'm very rich?"
The question-and-answer tone makes it sound like you're asking, "Why do you think I'm rich?"
"I don't think so." She shook her head.
"Then why did you borrow so much from me?"
"I have no one else to lend me, but you're my husband, it won't kill me to ask." She spread her hands and smiled.
"You are my husband..." she said it so naturally.
He wasn't used to this title at all.
He said, "We agreed to divorce in a year, and pretend to live together for that year. You haven't forgotten, have you?"
"I haven't forgotten. I can't wait to get a divorce tomorrow."
His eyes darkened. "I won't lend you money."
"Oh, then we have nothing to talk about." She closed her eyes again and dozed off.
I knew he was broke.
I was just asking casually.
After some time, a thought popped into her mind.
"I plan to move to the company residence."
"You're moving to live at your company?" He slammed on the brakes.
She was leaning against the window with her head tilted to one side, and that's when she bumped her head.
She cried out in pain.
"What are you doing?" she scolded playfully.
He opened the car door, got out, and left.
It turns out the car was parked in the underground garage of the residential complex.
Hua Meimei rubbed her head, which was sore from the bump, and muttered in confusion and annoyance, "What's wrong with this person?"
She unbuckled her seatbelt, angrily pushed open the car door, and chased after Luo Jiuyu's retreating figure.
Luo Jiuyu strode forward, his tall figure exuding a cold and aloof air in the dimly lit garage.
Wearing high heels, Hua Meimei finally managed to catch up with him. "Luo Jiuyu, you stop right there! Did you slam on the brakes on purpose just now?"
Luo Jiuyu stopped and turned around, looking at her with a deep gaze. "You can't move to the company residence."
Hua Meimei crossed her arms and said, "We have no feelings for each other. We're just strangers who have just met. It's so awkward for us to live under the same roof. Besides, if you won't lend me money, I have no intention of cooperating with you as husband and wife."
“Your Hua family took 30 million from the Luo family, and the price you paid was to put on an act with me for a year for my parents to see. You didn’t lose anything. Besides, I have no obligation to lend you money.”
“I’m at a disadvantage.” Her gaze suddenly turned cold.
Luo Jiuyu's eyes widened slightly. "Where did you lose out?"
She thought about it and realized there was nothing she couldn't talk about regarding her relationship with the Hua family.
“The 30 million wasn’t for me; it was to fill the financial hole for my stepmother, who has no business sense. And I was a victim, married to a man I didn’t love.”
When her stepmother was mentioned, her indignant expression clearly indicated that she had a bad relationship with the Hua family.
Her father forced her to marry a man she neither knew nor loved, all for thirty million. He figured her father must not have valued her enough.
His expression softened a little. "That must have been a hardship for you. But what does that have to do with me? I'm the one who suffered a loss too, being forced to marry a woman I don't love."
"You don't love me, and I don't love you. If we force ourselves to be together, we'll both suffer."
"..."
"Since that's the case, I'm moving to live at my company. Why are you unhappy? Acting is too tiring, and I don't want to act with you."
After saying that, she slung her bag over her shoulder, put on her high heels, and swaggered ahead.
She moved immediately upon arriving home and packed her things.
There weren't many things to begin with, so we cleaned up quickly, washed up, and went to bed.
Get up early the next day.
Li Xiang prepared breakfast and placed it on the table.
She ate heartily, and before leaving, she ate one last meal cooked by Li Xiang, feeling completely satisfied.
"Aunt Xiang, your cooking is so delicious, it's a pity I'll never be able to eat it again. I'm moving out today, take care."
She casually pulled her suitcase and went out.
Li Xiang, unaware of what had happened, hurriedly knocked on Luo Jiuyu's door.
"What is it?" He had some trouble sleeping last night because of what Hua Meimei had said, so he got up a little late this morning.
Li Xiang said, "Madam has moved out!"
"Really gone?" His sleepy eyes suddenly brightened.
This woman is decisive and efficient, leaving whenever she wants.
Okay, that's cool enough. He gritted his teeth inwardly.
"Where is Madam moving to?" Li Xiang asked worriedly.
"Who cares..." Luo Jiuyu closed the door.
