Gu Lingxiao stepped out of the car, his upright posture and brisk steps carrying him toward them, his face grim.
Xiao Zhang touched his nose in the car. The captain was no longer just a little jealous, he had become a veritable vinegar vat.
The sudden stop startled him.
Lu Zhixia was surprised to see him. It wasn't even noon yet, so she immediately stood up and went over.
"Captain Gu! What are you doing here?"
"I was out running errands and just passing by."
"It's quite a coincidence that we met!"
Gu Lingxiao looked at the skinny man beside him. He looked quite refined and appeared to be in his early twenties.
Just as the car drove by, I happened to see Lu Zhixia slap him hard.
This person is not Song Weidong.
Who is he?
Lu Zhixia didn't ask him for help, which means it was a misunderstanding. He almost hit her the moment he got out of the car, and his fists clenched involuntarily.
Lu Zhixia followed his gaze and saw that the exchange of glances between the two men was like a battle.
Guo Chen adjusted his glasses and walked over, introducing himself.
"Hello, I'm Guo Chen!"
"Gu Lingxiao!"
He extended his right hand, and when the man reached out, they clasped hands simultaneously.
Guo Chen felt that the man's grip was very strong, and he could not shake it back, so he could only grit his teeth and persevere.
This is a contest between men, and he cannot admit defeat!
Lu Zhixia wondered what was going on when they kept holding on for so long.
So the only option was to reach out and pull them apart, one in each hand.
What are you doing?
Gu Lingxiao said in a calm tone, "Maybe I used too much force just now. I'm really sorry, I'm a rough person."
Guo Chen put his left hand behind his back. This man's grip strength was not just a little bit strong, it was incredibly strong!
I feel like my hand is being squeezed so hard it's about to burst. Who is he?
Lu Zhixia felt it was better to separate the two, so she turned to Guo Chen and said,
"Let's settle the previous matters first. You go ahead and get busy! I have something to say to Comrade Gu."
Guo Chen opened his mouth as if to refute, but then found himself speechless, since there was no relationship between the two of them.
It was said to be a life-saving grace, but that was 11 years ago. The most outrageous thing is that I was wrong and wasted my best years.
If he had dated and married Lu Zhixia back then, he could hardly imagine what kind of blissful life he would be living now.
Whether they have one child or two, or perhaps they already have several children.
But now he could only pick up his things and turn to leave, because he had no right to interfere.
After the person had walked away, Gu Lingxiao finally spoke up and asked.
"Who is this person? I saw you slap him just now?"
"It was all a misunderstanding. He knew something he shouldn't have known and impulsively hugged me, so I slapped him."
"You still haven't told me who he is."
"You really want to know?"
"Yes, that's right, I want to know." Gu Lingxiao's attitude brooked no refusal.
Lu Zhixia felt there was no harm in telling him, so she briefly explained the relationship between the three of them.
"He is Chen Jianing's ex-husband."
"Huh?" Gu Lingxiao didn't expect the other party to be this.
"I saved him in the car back then, and then Chen Jianing took the credit for saving my life and married him. He was talking to me about the past just now, and he suddenly realized the truth. He acted impulsively, and I hit him too. So let's just leave it at that!"
"Oh! I see." Gu Lingxiao stared in the direction the man had left, like a husband catching his wife cheating, and continued to question him, "So what was the thing you two agreed on?"
Lu Zhixia looked up at him, feeling that he was being a bit too nosy, but then she thought about the relationship between the two of them.
I owe him so many favors, so I spoke up.
“He wants to testify in court to prove that Chen Jianing cheated on him because the two of them are already divorced. I also came here to find another witness, a nanny who works at Song Weidong’s house and had a conflict with them not long ago. She can also be my witness.”
Gu Lingxiao then realized why Lu Zhixia was there, and looked at the bicycle beside him.
"Are all the mala tang (spicy hot pot) sold out today?"
"No, he took three portions just now and he paid for them. He didn't refuse to pay."
Lu Zhixia was genuinely worried that this guy in front of her would chase after her and demand money from her.
Gu Lingxiao's chauvinism seems to have a touch of obsession.
"I'll take the rest back for my teammates."
"Okay, I'll pack it for you right away."
Lu Zhixia dismissed her earlier thoughts. Gu Lingxiao was a generous and good man; buying all the spicy hot pot solved her immediate problem.
Time was tight today, and we only managed to sell three servings in such a short time.
Normally, the box would already be half empty.
Gu Lingxiao turned to Xiao Zhang and said, "Move the things to the car, and we'll treat them to a meal when we get back."
Xiao Zhang immediately did as he was told. The captain really does whatever he wants, spoiling women to an extreme!
Looking at the bag in his hand, he knew he would have spicy hot pot again for lunch today, but he didn't dare to eat it too spicy. He would eat something milder and wanted to have two servings!
Gu Lingxiao noticed there wasn't much spicy hot pot in the box, so he turned to Lu Zhixia and asked,
"Are you going to look for a nanny next? Do you want me to come along?"
"No need, I can find a place myself. Don't delay your work."
"Oh right, tonight we're having sweet and sour pork, braised pork intestines, and pork kidneys!"
Hearing that there was such delicious food, Xiao Zhang said, "Comrade Lu! Is there any for me today? I want two portions!"
