87 He Loathed Her So Much (1/2)

”Don't worry. I will give Chu Lui the contract.” He could tell at one glance what she was worried about. Lu Jinrong comforted her out of goodwill. As expected, she was like that woman.

”You will?” Xia Ruoxin released her grip and stared at him, puzzled.

Why did he…?

Lu Jinrong stood up, walked to the bar counter at the side, and casually poured himself a glass of wine. A 1982 Lafite. It was the good stuff.

”Do you know? You resemble her. You really do. Even your expression.” His voice was faint as it brought back memories and bitterness.

Her? Xia Ruoxin hugged her legs tight. She was not used to the company of an unfamiliar man. Just that, there was a sudden sadness oozing from this man right now.

Xia Ruoxin thought for a while, and then she asked, ”Was she the one you loved?”

”Yes.” Lu Jinrong swirled the wine glass in his hand. The wine had stimulated his nerves and made him recall the past clearly in his mind. He nodded his head lightly. ”Like you, she was also a foolish woman.”

He did not turn around. He only continued to drink glass after glass.

Xia Ruoxin was silent. She was foolish. Really foolish. Even when he had treated her like this, she was still trying to find him an excuse.

”Chu Lui will regret his decision.” The man downed the rest of his wine as the words blurted out suddenly.

Xia Ruoxin was so deep in her thoughts that she might have missed it.

Lu Jinrong put the wine glass down and walked towards the balcony. It was breezy outside, and the wind frequently blow at his wet hair, drying it in the process. It brought a sullen feel.
