Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 2260: Chapter 2196: Such a Cold and Callous Heart

Kevin’s face showed a trace of embarrassment. He looked at Du Jinruo and said gently, "Jinruo, maybe you should have a good talk with Mr. Gao first. I won’t have tea today. I can buy some to take away. Mr. Gao, if my leaving can make you feel better, please show your gentlemanly conduct and treat Jinruo well."

After saying this, he walked out and went to the counter, saying to the clerk, "I heard your store’s ’Liunian’ is quite good. Give me a can."

"Okay, but sir, I’m sorry, our store usually gives a complimentary wooden bookmark with ’Liunian’, but they have just run out. We need to wait for the carpenter to carve more. Would you like to leave your name and address? When the bookmarks are ready, we can mail it to you or notify you to come pick it up."

"I’ll come to pick it up then. I really like the style of your tea house."

The clerk quickly took out ’Liunian’ and registered it.

"Also, give me a box of tea powder snacks."

"Sure, thank you, sir."

Kevin picked up the items, paid, and left the tea house without even glancing at Du Jinruo’s side.

Du Jinruo, who had been watching and waiting for him to look back, heard the sound of her heart breaking.

She couldn’t believe Kevin really just left like that.

He really abandoned her and walked away just like that.

What if Gao Wei really is a dangerous man?

Does he not care about her safety and thoughts at all?

Du Jinruo originally thought she had a bit of a chance. Kevin clearly told her he would stay in the Capital for development and wouldn’t go abroad anymore.

He even told her he was getting tired of drifting around and wanted to find a gentle girl to marry, have children, and live a peaceful and warm life for the rest of his days.

When he said these things, he was looking at her, and his eyes were very gentle and warm.

She always thought those words were meant for her.

But now, in an instant, her dream shattered.

Beneath this man’s gentleness was such a cold and callous heart.

At this moment, Du Jinruo finally saw clearly.

"Still looking? He’s already left, what are you still looking at?" Gao Wei said through gritted teeth.

Du Jinruo snapped back, forcefully shaking off his hand.

"Gao Wei, are you crazy?" she cursed angrily, "I’ve already made it very clear to you that we have no chance, absolutely no chance."

Gao Wei’s face was dark.

"Why not? Do you think your family will agree with that Kevin guy? Let me tell you, no matter how low your parents’ standards drop, the person you marry must have a decent job and a good salary."

"And is that you?" Du Jinruo retorted through clenched teeth, "Even if that’s what my parents think, it won’t be you, absolutely won’t!"

Gao Wei was also angry, "Why don’t you tell me, what’s wrong with me? Am I not even as good as Meng Xinian? His dad has no power now, but my dad is different! If compared to him, our Gao Family is something the Meng Family can’t even compete with now!"

"Ha, what are you comparing with your dad for? If you have the guts, compare yourself with him." Du Jinruo was trembling with rage. She really didn’t want to bring up Meng Xinian again, but Gao Wei kept on about it.

Normally, she wouldn’t be so sharp-tongued, but now she was driven mad by Gao Wei. "He’s already a Great Officer now, what are you?"
