Chapter 14 The Figure in the Heavy Rain

"Auntie, I have to go to the company for a meeting, so I'll leave first." He Yuzhe did not explain anything. He did not even look in Xiao Ruoyi's direction from beginning to end. His eyes only stopped for a moment and he quickly moved away.

It was as if the slap just now had never happened before. He just turned around calmly to leave, and even his eyes did not stay.

Xiao Ruoyi's eyes were a little empty. She kept thinking back to what Bai Muya had said just now. She said that she had spent the night in the residence of He family last night, so they...

Her eyes flashed with bitterness. She clearly knew that she was nothing to He Yuzhe, but when she thought of Bai Muya was staying by his side, she could not help but feel frustrated.

"A woman like you doesn't deserve to stay in the residence of Bai family. I advise you to get out as soon as possible." Su Wenyao looked in Xiao Ruoyi's direction and said in a ruthless tone. Her eyes were full of contempt with her finger pointing at the door.

Bai Muya beside Su Wenyao was pretending to persuading Su Wenyao, but the pride in her eyes was still revealed. The corners of her mouth also lifted slightly as she looked at Xiao Ruoyi from time to time who was in a sorry state.

"Yichen, I'm leaving now." Xiao Ruoyi endured the pain on her face and slowly got up. She tidied up her clothes and forced a smile as she walked towards the door.

The rain outside the window was still wanton, and the wind was sharp, without any intention of stopping.

Bai Yichen hurriedly stood up, but Su Wenyao stopped him. "If you dare to leave this house, don't acknowledge me as your mother." After saying that, she grabbed Bai Yichen's sleeve by one hand with a stern look in her eyes.

Xiao Ruoyi said weakly to Bai Yichen as she listened to the voice behind her. "Yichen, I'm fine. Don't worry."

She understood Su Wenyao's strength and knew that she should not disturb Bai Yichen's life no matter what. She could bear all the bad things alone.

"Mom, it's stormy outside. How could Ruoyi, a girl, go to the company alone?"

Bai Yichen's voice came from behind again. Xiao Ruoyi lowered her eyes and quickened her pace. Just as she stepped out of the door of the residence of Bai family, she heard the decisive sound of the door closing behind her.

The raindrops on the eaves splattered on her feet, and the water droplets wet her hair. Coincidentally, a thunder flashed across the sky, and the flowers and plants around her seemed to be shaken by the sound.

As the cold wind blew, Xiao Ruoyi could not help but tighten her clothes. After hesitating for a while, she finally stepped out. Her hair was wet by the rain in an instant, and her clothes clung to her body, bringing a chill.

Xiao Ruoyi walked alone. Even if she quickened her pace, she could not stop the rain from flowing freely on her body. There were no stations around the residence of Bai family, not to mention someone would taking her to the company.

Not far away, He Yuzhe was sitting alone in the car. The shivering figure in the rearview mirror looked so vulnerable in the heavy rain.

Holding the steering wheel with both hands, the feeling in his heart made him uncomfortable. He wanted to look away, but he felt a dull pain in his heart.

The scene of Xiao Ruoyi appearing in Bai Yichen's bedroom surfaced in his mind, and his brows gradually furrowed, and the strength in his hands increased.

After hesitating for a while, he finally stepped on the accelerator and drove away in the rain.

Xiao Ruoyi looked at the car that was gradually disappearing into the distance with a bitter smile on her lips. As if it was deliberately making things difficult for her, the rain became heavier and hit Xiao Ruoyi's body directly. Because of the thin clothes, she could not help but quicken her pace.

No matter how cold the sharp wind was, it was not as cold as the chilliness in her heart. Xiao Ruoyi walked alone on the wide road, and her sight was hazy. She seemed to have seen nothing clearly, but she seemed to have known the road ahead.

By the time she reached the He Group by walking herself, it was already noon. Although the rain had subsided a lot, the wind had not weakened at all.

The moment she stepped into the office, the surrounding voices of disgust raised in her ears. "There's water everywhere. What are you doing?"

Xiao Ruoyi ignored the voice beside her and walked straight to the bathroom. In the mirror, she was in such a sorry state with beads of water hanging on her pale face.

She picked up a tissue and gently wiped her hair. At some point, two female employees with heavy makeup stood next to her.

"You know what? Today, the entertainment news headlines were about president He and miss of Bai family spending the night together. It's really exciting. Didn't they say that the people from of the He family were sexually continent?" A woman was wearing lipstick in the mirror and preaching with a smile on her face.

"She's the legitimate fiancée of the He family. What's wrong with spending a night together? I really envy Bai Muya." The other woman responded. She glanced at Xiao Ruoyi as if on purpose, then snorted coldly and turned to leave while chatted happily.

Xiao Ruoyi did not say a word but looked at herself in the mirror. He Yuzhe was getting engaged, wasn't he? She had already experienced so much, but why was her heart still hurting?

Her entire body was so weak that she couldn't even support herself. She supported herself with hands on the sink. But she eventually collapsed on the floor, tears flowing, mixed with the rain.

It turned out that even if her heart was numb, it could still feel pain.

There was no one in the bathroom. Xiao Ruoyi's sobs echoed in the silence. She wanted to leave everything behind and leave the world, but her father's words, "Live well", was just kept coming back to her mind.

When Xiao Ruoyi came out of the bathroom after tidying everything up, she ran into He Yuzhe who was walking to the conference room. He glanced at her slightly with his cold eyes and continued to walk.

"Hurry up and catch up." He Yuzhe passed by Xiao Ruoyi and handed the folder to her.

Xiao Ruoyi looked away and quietly wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes. She nodded and followed quickly. The person around avoided her in case they would be wet by the beads of water on her body.

They looked at Xiao Ruoyi with disgust and complained incessantly.

"Meeting starts. First of all, let's talk about the newly developed project, the sales department..." He Yuzhe stood in the middle of the conference room and pointed at the big screen with one hand.

Xiao Ruoyi stood at the side with a folder in her hand and a few cups of warm coffee that had just been poured. Just as she was about to put the cups on the table, the scene in front of her suddenly became blurry.

Her mind felt groggy, and she shook her head violently to wake herself up, but it backfired, and she only felt that her head was heavy and her feet were light.

The voice beside her ear grew quieter and quieter, and then it was replaced by a buzzing sound. She wanted to take a step but felt that her legs were weak. She felt a sharp pain in her head and lost her consciousness.
