Chapter 44 This Shitty Karma
“Sis, then I’m going back to the Harold’s.”
Kevin had the intention to stay here with Ruby, but his sister was too heartless, so he could only leave with his head hanging.
Looking at him with that look, Ruby was helpless, in the end, he was still a child.
After waiting for him to leave, Ruby pulled open the curtains, and after five minutes, she saw Kevin walking in the garden of the neighborhood, and soon left Shangcheng International.
She withdrew her gaze, pulling the curtains closed.
There was a lot going on these days, and she had a meeting with an old friend tomorrow, so Ruby took a bath and went to bed early.
The next day, Ruby got up early, and when she went out, she ran into the person next door who also came out. She subconsciously took one more look, and after seeing that face clearly, she was immediately uninterested, withdrew her gaze, and coldly went to press the elevator key.
There were two elevators on one floor, and while Ruby was standing there waiting for the elevator, Levi walked up to her side.
The man was dressed in a gray suit, buttoned to the top of his collar, an ascetic look, standing there without a word, carrying a powerful aura of his own.
Ruby cursed her bad luck, she actually ran into this pervert again.
As she was thinking, the elevator came.
Two people entered the elevator one after the other, the elevator space is not narrow, but after all, the space is limited. The man’s faint cold fragrance got into her nose, the smell is somewhat familiar.
Ruby subconsciously glanced at the man in front of her, always feeling a sense of familiarity.
She looked at Levi for a moment before shaking her head and pushing that feeling down.
Ruby went to the first floor and got out of the elevator, and Levi, who was going to the ground floor to pick up his car, watched her get out of the elevator and walk out quickly, as if there were wolves chasing her behind.
When she arrived at the entrance of Shangcheng International, the car Ruby had called arrived, she pulled open the car door and got in, just as Levi’s car also drove out, subconsciously glancing in her direction.
On the road Ruby’s phone kept ringing, she glanced at the message and mercilessly turned it off.
Kevin was restless as soon as he came back to Sea City, after all, the dude’s persona couldn’t collapse. He got up early in the morning and called his friends to go and play, and didn’t forget to come and harass Ruby.
Ruby went to a very upscale private restaurant in Sea City, where she had to make a reservation at least three months in advance.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
The private restaurant is tucked away in a small alleyway in the southern part of Sea City, and it’s only when she entered that she found a different kind of quaint garden inside.
Ruby walked into the door, found the agreed box, and pushed the door in directly.
“You come? Tell me how many times you’ve stood me up?” A mournful voice rang in her ears just before she entered the door.
Ruby sat down, lazily raised her eyes to look at the man sitting across the table, who had long dark hair, delicate and beautiful features, seductive eyes, wearing a retro clothes, with his chest revealed, revealing sexy pectoral muscles. Leaning on the sofa, he simply was a demon on earth.
Ruby’s fingers moved, and she was tempted to hit him, but held back.
“Go ahead, I’m busy.” Raising her hand, she took the teapot on the table and poured herself a cup of tea before she spoke carelessly.
“Ruthless, it’s been so long since I’ve seen you and you didn’t say you missed me, ugh …”
Vincent Watson was trying to tease her, but, when he looked up and met Ruby’s gaze, he suddenly wimped out, reaching out and pulling the collar of his clothes, sitting upright before speaking seriously, “Okay, I’m looking for you because that medicine you gave me last time has caused quite a stir in the black market, now many people are looking for it and have found me, do you still have it?”
Vincent and Ruby are friends since childhood.
Back then, Ruby was sent to F Country. If it wasn’t for Vincent’s secret protection, she would have been killed the day she arrived in F Country.
It had been a difficult time in F Country all these years, but she had been safe and sound, thanks to Vincent’s help behind the scenes.
His family has underground trading channels all over the world, collectively known as the black market. When Ruby usually gets something that is not good for herself to sell, she gave Vincent to deal with it.
“Well, that thing is a bit troublesome to get, I don’t have much material in my hand right now, so buy me some. I’ll give it to you when I get it out.”
Ruby had almost forgotten about this matter.
That medicine was recorded in the medical book left by grandfather, saying that after eating it, it could change a person’s bone, although it could not make a person be able to practice any supreme kung fu like in the novel, but after eating it, it could strengthen the body and clear the disease in the body, the effect was really good.
It’s just that the herbs are troublesome to find and time consuming to refine, she made three at first, took one for herself, gave one to her grandmother, and gave one to Vincent, not expecting Vincent to sell it in the black market, and it caused a stir.
“Alright. By the way, because of this medicine, quite many people are looking for you. All of them are rich and powerful, do you want to meet them?” Vincent nodded and didn’t ask more, only the topic changed and he asked something else.
Ruby waved her hand impatiently, “No, not interested.”
“Okay.” Vincent had known this would be the outcome and was not surprised at all by her words.
The two rambled on for some time, and Vincent asked about her grandmother’s condition.
Ruby’s complexion changed, somewhat gloomy.
“She won’t die for now.” Ruby was so disinterested that she lost the desire to even drink tea.
Vincent understood when he saw her like this, “Sorry, if you need help, just tell me.”
“Okay.” Ruby answered.
“The cook has recently researched a new dish that tastes good, so you can try the taste for me.” Seeing Ruby acted like that, Vincent hurriedly changed the topic.
Ruby was distracted by the food.
At this moment, the waiter began to serve food, the door of the compartment opened, a man and a woman outside walked in intimately. Ruby heard the girl’s delicate voice, which came in through the door.
“Levi, this restaurant is very hard to get an appointment, I’ve been trying to come but I couldn’t get an appointment for most of the year, I didn’t think you would be able to arrange it.”
The word Levi was familiar, and Ruby could not help but give the man an extra glance.
The man’s face was covered with a silver mask that blocked half of his face. He was tall and leggy, with an air of high coolness, followed by a young girl in a pure white dress, and the two entered arm in arm, intimately, looking like they should be a couple.
Even if only a side face could be seen, Ruby recognized him to be her fiancé Levi.
It’s really quite a coincidence that they have a chance encounter in a place like this.
Ruby felt a sense of emotion in her heart.
Levi seemed to feel something and twisted his head to look at the compartment with the door open. His gaze stopped on Ruby and then turned to fall on the man opposite her, his dark eyes could not help but narrow slightly.
