Aitai'en: "..."
What did the gentleman mean?
Until he left and the door closed, Aitai'en hadn't recovered from her shock.
That—
So—
She was—
Rejected?
Though she didn't want to accept it, it seemed to be the truth!
So troublesome.
Aitai'en propped her chin with both hands, her eyes wide like persimmons.
"What should I do?"
If she couldn't be with the gentleman, Grandpa would definitely find her another boyfriend...
It was said that Grandpa favored the youngest son of a cabinet minister.
But she didn't like him!
That man was terrible. Not only was he short-tempered, hit women, disrespected women, but he also killed innocent people without any sympathy!
Compared to the gentleman, he was far inferior.
If a woman had to get married in her life, she would rather marry the gentleman.
But the gentleman—
Aitai'en glared angrily at the food on the table, then picked up her knife and fork, stuffing food into her mouth bite by bite, filling her small mouth until it bulged.
Although rejected, she was surprised to find that she wasn't sad at all.
Actually, she respected Cristino more, respecting him like she respected Grandpa and elders.
Now, knowing that the gentleman had no feelings for her.
Aitai'en couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

When Du Ruoxin woke up, Rong Jingyang had already left.
After quickly washing up and getting dressed, she ate breakfast and opened the door.
"Miss, your phone." Trevor bowed and handed it to her.
Du Ruoxin wasn't surprised at all that he would be here. "Thank you."
"How are Big Brother's men?"
Trevor: "No vital injuries, they'll be fine after a period of rest."
Du Ruoxin: "Take me to see them."
Trevor: "Yes."
The two arrived at the hospital. The police were taking statements from the patients. When Du Ruoxin heard the bodyguards say they wouldn't press charges and that it was purely accidental self-inflicted injury, she was so shocked her jaw dropped.
This—
Big Brother instructed the bodyguards to say this?
Watching the police leave, Du Ruoxin said, "Thank you for your hard work," and then walked into the ward.
"Miss." The bodyguards prepared to get up and salute.
Du Ruoxin quickly said, "Don't move, you need to rest well."
Bodyguard: "Yes, thank you for your concern, Miss."
Du Ruoxin placed the flower basket and fruit in the room. Seeing that the person was unharmed, the stone in her heart truly fell.
"If you need anything, tell Trevor." She turned to Trevor and instructed, "Make sure it's done, understand?"
Trevor responded, "Yes."
How could he dare to be perfunctory about what Miss instructed?
Unless he was tired of living!
Du Ruoxin inquired for a few more minutes before leaving the ward. As she turned, she gave Trevor a look.
Trevor nodded, took out a check from his bag, and placed it in the bodyguard's hand.
"This is from Miss, take it."
Bodyguard: "..."
He had already received a generous injury and illness settlement from his employer, and this—
Trevor didn't give the bodyguard a chance to refuse, stuffed the check into his hand, and turned to leave.
Quickly catching up to Du Ruoxin, he said, "Miss, I've given it."
Du Ruoxin nodded, "Mm."
This matter started because of her, and the bodyguards were Big Brother's men. She couldn't offer any other compensation. Only money could express her apology.
After leaving the hospital, Du Ruoxin went to see the old man.
The old man was in a frenzy over the temporarily changed plan.
The press conference was imminent. The venue setup, pre-publicity, posters... everything had been invested. Mr. Rothschild's single sentence...
How much would he lose!
No, he had to think of a way to replace Aurora 5 with another car!
Just then, the old man heard his secretary report that a "Miss Du Ruoxin" had arrived.
Her?
After hesitating for half a second, he said, "Let her in."
A moment later, Du Ruoxin appeared in the chairman's office, leaning on a crutch. "Good morning, Grandpa."
Addis looked at her. "Miss Du, what business do you have with me?"
Du Ruoxin got straight to the point. "I want to talk to you about a business deal."
