Chapter 160 You Throw Me Down the Mountain Too
While she wasn't noticing, Xu Hui turned her head and walked towards the front desk.
"on foot?"
Fan Xiaolin stared at her manicure and didn't notice Xu Hui. "Baby, why do you want to hike? Haven't you never been interested in the outdoors?"
In fact, Wen Zhixia has been feeling uneasy recently.
She is not slow, but she is just an ordinary girl. She has no ability to find out the truth behind this, not to mention that others are deliberately hiding it from her.
So she wanted to go out and relax.
"I saw it online," Wen Zhixia explained. "The mountain scenery in Jinjiaolubei in autumn is the most beautiful. If you're free, let's go together."
Jinjiao Lubei is a popular mountaineering spot in Jincheng. The hiking route takes more than three hours. There are dense forests and peaks where you can watch the sunset. The scenery is most beautiful when the maple leaves turn red.
"Okay, but I'm on a business trip next week. Can you wait until I get back?" Fan Xiaolin said, "I'll call my parents, and the four of us will go together."
Wen Zhixia looked and saw that it would not rain next week, but it would continue to rain thereafter. She was afraid that her uncle and aunt would catch a cold.
"It's okay, just go ahead and do your thing," she said. "I've joined a few hiking groups. I'll check them out first."
The store was very quiet at the moment. Xu Hui was standing at the front desk with her back to the two of them, so she could clearly hear that Wen Zhixia was going to climb the mountain in Jinjiaolubei.
"Let's go to the private room inside," she said to the receptionist in a low voice, "There are too many people here, and I find it noisy."
This was the first time she saw Wen Zhixia since she was discharged from the hospital.
She hasn't changed at all, she is still clear and elegant, untainted by dust. Just sitting there quietly gives people a sense of security.
Xu Hui's heart was restless. She thought that she had Fu Ruoshi, a powerful man, who was willing to protect her with his life, so she felt at ease.
That night, after Zhao Xiaoning returned home, he told Fu Ruoshi everything about how he almost disfigured himself for Wen Zhixia, swallowed a fishhook for her, and gambled his life for her.
Zhao Xiaoning had his own little thoughts when he said this. He wanted to hint to Xu Hui that Young Master Fu had no feelings for you and that he could die for Wen Zhixia. You have no chance and should give up. He is the man you will never get.
But after hearing his exaggerated description, how could Xu Hui give up? She would only become more unwilling to give up!
A cold-blooded, heartless, and arrogant man who was willing to disfigure himself, kneel down, and endure such humiliation for Wen Zhixia.
Why doesn't such a good man belong to me?
Wen Zhixia, what gives you the right? How am I inferior to you?
In Xu Hui's memory, Fu Ruoshi has always been the most popular boy in the compound since he was a child.
Xu Hui lived just opposite his house. In addition, the Xu and Fu families were on good terms back then, so she was the girl who was closest to him among his playmates.
Fu Ruoshi was not as at ease as he is now when he was a child. He kept to himself and was a little arrogant. He seemed like he could chat with anyone, but in fact he looked down on everyone.
Many girls like him, many girls surround him, and he is surrounded by beautiful women, but Xu Hui knows that he has never been in love at all. He can't even remember their names. He looks down on those who only know how to talk about love.
The only girl's name Xu Hui heard from Fu Ruoshi was Wen Zhixia.
That year, when he was in his third year of high school, at Xu's drinking party, Xu Hui clearly remembered that Fu Ruoshi said to her with great enthusiasm:
"The chemistry class representative for Class 12 is Wen Zhengmao's daughter, Wen Zhixia. At the sports meet that day, I told her I admired her dad, and she smiled at me, and my heart fluttered!"
The more excited he was when he said these words, the more disappointed Xu Hui felt.
She looked at Fu Ruoshi's sparkling eyes and knew that she had completely lost.
Originally thinking that young feelings would be diluted by time, Xu Hui had waited and endured, but Fu Ruoshi's feelings for Wen Zhixia not only did not fade, but became even stronger, leaving her completely hopeless.
She didn't want Fu Ruoshi to die, but she wanted to see Fu Ruoshi never see Wen Zhixia again, and be in pain and despair.
At this moment, the WeChat on my hand vibrated.
Zhao Xiaoning: [Where?]
When Xu Hui saw the three words "Zhao Xiaoning", she felt sick. Not only was he ugly, but he was also very possessive and would send messages like crazy after not seeing him for a few minutes.
Forget it, he drinks heavy metals every day anyway. Even if he doesn’t die in the end, he won’t be able to take care of himself.
[I'm getting my nails done, I'll be right back]
When he got home, Zhao Xiaoning was drinking alone.
"What do you want from me?" she asked.
Zhao Xiaoning said, "I've been having headaches and tinnitus lately. Come with me to the hospital."
Xu Hui also added thallium poison to the wine. His dark circles, sallow complexion and pale lips became increasingly obvious. This was either due to excessive indulgence or the end of his life.
Xu Hui changed the subject, "Look at my manicure, do you think it looks good?"
"Oh, you've dressed up so beautifully? Are you looking for your Fu Ruoshi again?" Zhao Xiaoning asked half-jokingly and half-seriously, "Is his stomach bleeding healed? Can he still speak?"
Xu Hui sighed, "Who's looking for him? I really went to get my nails done, and I even saw Wen Zhixia."
Zhao Xiaoning raised his cloudy eyes, "What a coincidence? Did you two talk?"
Xu Hui rolled her eyes and said, "Hubby, I want to discuss something with you."
As she spoke, she sat down next to Zhao Xiaoning. "Wen Zhixia said she's going hiking in Lubei soon. I heard the terrain there is dangerous. Don't you know people in the outdoor hiking community there? Can you find a few people to take her down the mountain?"
When she talked about throwing it down the mountain, her eyes lit up with excitement and perversion.
"Don't you know someone in the hiking community?" Zhao Xiaoning said, smoking a cigarette. "Why don't you find one yourself?"
Xu Hui's expression changed. "Hubby, Fu Ruoshi was willing to eat a fishhook for Wen Zhixia. How much is Wen Zhixia's life worth? Can't you help with such a small thing?"
Zhao Xiaoning had never calculated how much Wen Zhixia's life was worth, but he knew that with how much money and power the Fu family had, Wen Zhixia's worth would be dozens of times higher.
Because in Fu Ruoshi's eyes, Wen Zhixia's life is much more valuable than his own.
To be honest, Zhao Xiaoning really didn't want to touch her.
"Honey, you said you wanted to get married this month. When are you going to get married?" he asked Xu Hui. "It's been delayed for half a year. Do you really want to marry me?"
Marriage is one aspect, but more importantly, if something happens to him after marriage, Xu Hui will also have to bear some responsibility. Zhao Xiaoning is not that stupid. He can use Wen Zhixia's life in exchange for Xu Hui marrying him, but he cannot bear the responsibility alone.
Xu Hui looked at the wine in his glass and thought that even if she married him, he would not live for many days, and when that happened, all the responsibilities would be thrown on him.
"Okay, I'll go choose a wedding dress tomorrow," she nodded. "As long as Wen Zhixia is gone, I'll marry you immediately."
Zhao Xiaoning looked at her, "What if you regret it again?"
"Throw me down the mountain too." Xu Hui vowed, "Hubby, if Wen Zhixia is gone, Fu Ruoshi will go crazy even if he doesn't die. If the Fu family falls, the Xu and Zhao families will dominate Jincheng."
