Chapter 37 Did Gu Beixiao drug you?

“Miss, I’m just a housekeeper. I don’t have that many powers. All I can do is try my best to help you preserve your hopes within my capabilities.”

As the butler spoke, his eyes welled up with tears. He handed the wedding dress to Luo Zhiwei, his eyes filled with affection and tenderness, the kind of love and care that an elder in the family receives from a younger generation.

"Young Miss, please don't blame me for turning you away today, I..."

Luo Zhiwei, clutching her wedding dress, quickly stood up, her eyes filled with gratitude.

She was standing on the edge of the cliff when someone suddenly pulled her down.

It was as if someone was yelling at her in the ear: "What do you mean 'die'? You have to live beautifully!"

Her hope had returned to her.

"Butler, thank you, thank you. I won't blame you, I..."

Luo Zhiwei felt only gratitude and awe for the housekeeper.

Seeing Luo Zhiwei's joyful tears, Lu Jingxiao's lips also curled into a slight smile. His Weiwei was most beautiful when she smiled.

The police officers breathed a sigh of relief; the group of thugs seemed to have improved their mood.

The leader coughed awkwardly: "Since this was a misunderstanding, shall we call it a day?"

Most importantly, he didn't really want to face the couple in the villa; it was too... unpleasant.

Moreover, what happened today is at most a family matter; nothing else really matters.

Lu Jingxiao didn't want to let it go so easily. Instead, he looked at the police officer and said, "This family has usurped so much property. Aren't you going to take them back and teach them a lesson?"

They finally understood.

This matter can be left in the past.

But we can't let this pass so easily.

And then... a very strange scene unfolded.

Zhao Tingguo, along with his wife and illegitimate daughter, went to the police station in their pajamas, and the three of them even moved in perfect unison.

One hand was covering his stomach, and the other hand was covering his buttocks.

All the people who escorted them out of the country were wearing masks.

Luo Zhiwei suddenly bowed deeply to Lu Jingxiao: "Thank you, President Lu."

Lu Jingxiao: "..."

"I've helped you so much today, and you think you can just send me away with an apology?"

"I didn't, I just..."

I just wanted to sincerely say thank you.

Luo Zhiwei knew there were too many things between them that couldn't be settled, so she could only leave him aside for the time being.

She turned to look at Gu Yulin and Li Huaijin, expressing her heartfelt gratitude. Luo Zhiwei bowed slightly at a 45° angle: "President Gu, President Li, thank you both very much for tonight as well."

Li Huaijin felt a little embarrassed by the thanks, and his ears started to turn red, which gradually spread to his face.

"You...you don't need to be so formal, it's nothing."

Li Huaijin had a strange feeling in his heart, as if this stranger had shown him kindness.

If it were anyone else, regardless of their status, they would receive strange looks simply because they know how to open a safe.

Especially when families are of similar standing, those people look at them as if they were looking at snakes; their gaze is nauseating.

In addition, his gloomy and unstable emotions made him a born bad seed in other people's eyes.

He has fair-weather friends, but no true friends.

So-called drinking buddies can drink and have fun, but when things get serious, they'll still look at you differently. But the eldest, third, and fourth brothers won't.

Oh, Miss Luo doesn't know either.

She even thanked him.

Luo Zhiwei felt as if she had been saved. She took a deep breath and said, "It's different. If it weren't for you, I probably wouldn't have been able to get my property deed and jade pendant. My wedding dress and jade pendant are the things my mother cares about the most."

Other things can be lost or given up.

But a wedding dress and a jade pendant are not acceptable.

Li Huaijin was so grateful that he didn't know what to say. He looked at Gu Yulin and then at Lu Jingxiao.

You two need to think of a solution.

How am I supposed to respond to that?

I've never talked to a girl like that before.

Lu Jingxiao was very unhappy. He had spent money and effort tonight, but he didn't get any benefits. At least he could have spoken more gently. Instead, he was... stiff and unyielding.

Am I some kind of jackal or tiger?

I'm your boyfriend!

Can't you be a little gentler?

Before Lu Jingxiao could speak, Gu Yulin spoke first: "Miss Luo, may I take a look at the dragon-patterned jade pendant on your hand?"

Luo Zhiwei's eyes instantly sharpened: "You... what are you going to do?"

Gu Yulin: "......"

I don't want to do anything.

There's no need to look at me like I'm a thief.

Lu Jingxiao quickly shielded the person behind him, frowning: "Boss, that's Weiwei's private property, don't force her."

Gu Yulin: "......"

I don't!

I did not force anyone to do anything!

"I just wanted to see..." A crazy thought popped into Gu Yulin's mind, but he quickly suppressed it: "It's okay, it's fine if you don't want to see it."

He's probably overthinking it.

Gu Yulin checked the time before looking at Li Huaijin and Lu Jingxiao: "It's getting late, I'm going back to sleep."

Li Huaijin followed and left immediately.

**

Outside the Luo family villa, only Luo Zhiwei and Lu Jingxiao remained. The two looked at each other in silence, seemingly waiting for the other to speak, but the other simply did not say a word.

Finally, Luo Zhiwei couldn't help but say, "President Lu, thank you for your help today. Go home and get some rest."

"I'll transfer the compensation to you for the demolition team's hard work tomorrow."

Lu Jingxiao: "..."

You're just trying to annoy me.

"You've moved out of the Luo family villa?"

Lu Jingxiao gave an irrelevant answer and instead posed a new question.

He just wants to know where Luo Zhiwei's new home is.

Luo Zhiwei nodded honestly: "Yes, I moved out a couple of days ago, I..."

"Whose place do you live at?"

It's impossible for someone without an ID card to rent a house; after all, landlords won't rent to someone without an ID card.

"A friend."

Lu Jingxiao's face immediately fell.

If it were Gu Youran, she wouldn't have answered like that. Moreover, as far as he knew, Gu Youran lived very far away, and he couldn't find any information about her renting or buying a house. If he hadn't found out the places she frequented... he really might not have been able to find her.

Therefore, Luo Zhiwei did not stay at Gu Youran's place.

So... the remaining friend.

Gu, Bei, Xiao!

wok!

At this moment, Lu Jingxiao was like a vat of vinegar, gulping it down, wishing he could punch Luo Zhiwei on the head twice.

"Luo Zhiwei, what kind of drug did Gu Beixiao give you? You didn't come to me when you had troubles, but you went to him and even lived with him?"

ha?

Luo Zhiwei looked up, somewhat bewildered: "I...."

"A man and a woman alone in a room, what kind of behavior is this? You...you...you...you..."

Lu Jingxiao was so angry that he couldn't even finish his sentence.

Luo Zhiwei instinctively took a step forward, but... a sharp pain shot through her knee.

hiss--

She twisted her ankle and almost fell to the ground.

Lu Jingxiao was extremely nervous. He quickly grabbed Luo Zhiwei's waist and said awkwardly, "Can't you watch your step? You're such a grown woman, how can you still twist your ankle while walking?"

My knee feels like...

Luo Zhiwei felt a little wronged. She lowered her head, wanting to lift her dress to take a look, but when she looked up at Lu Jingxiao, she immediately stopped what she was doing: "Mr. Lu, could you turn around?"

Lu Jingxiao: "..."
