Chapter 187 Lu Jingxiao's Defenses Weakened
Lu Jingxiao's sharp voice reached Gu Hanchi's ears, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment before slowly raising his head.
Why is he at the mall at this time? Is the president of Lu's Group so free?
Lu Jingxiao held Luo Zhiwei protectively by his side, his eyes filled with tenderness, as if silently asking her if she was alright and if she had been bullied.
Luo Zhiwei simply shook her head slightly, indicating that nothing was wrong, and the two of them turned to look at Gu Hanchi.
"Uncle Gu, you haven't answered my question yet. What do you mean by this? Are you making things difficult for my Weiwei?"
Lu Jingxiao was clearly telling Gu Hanchi that Luo Zhiwei was his person, someone he cherished and no one could bully.
Gu Hanchi, being Lu Jingxiao's elder, didn't take his threat seriously at all. Instead, he looked at the two of them with a mocking expression: "Jingxiao, by what right do you question me?"
"In the end, Luo Zhiwei is a child of the Gu family. As her third uncle, can't I educate her?"
What's the logic behind this?
"If I remember correctly, Uncle Gu didn't acknowledge Weiwei as his relative. So who are you now, as an elder?"
Gu Hanchi: "......."
Seeing that Lu Jingxiao was still protecting Luo Zhiwei, Gu Hanchi was very displeased. He sneered sarcastically, "Lu Jingxiao, look at her, spending money so extravagantly, isn't she just after your wealth?"
"After Luo Huining died, the Luo family fell into decline, and they were also saddled with a good-for-nothing like Zhao Tingguo. The Luo Group has probably been completely emptied out."
Gu Hanchi wanted everyone to know that Luo Zhiwei was a spendthrift, and to make everyone stay away from and isolate her.
A vile woman like Luo Zhiwei deserves to be abandoned by everyone.
Who told her... to be the bastard child raised by Luo Huining, and now she actually wants to enter the Gu family?
She doesn't even deserve it?
[So she was a gold digger. That doesn't surprise me; after all, who among the average person could afford so many luxury items?]
[This must be Master Xiao, right? I've finally met him in person today! He's so handsome, so incredibly handsome!]
That's Luo Zhiwei, isn't it? The eldest daughter of the Luo family. Buying these things isn't something she can do casually, is it?
[Ah, actually I was thinking the same thing. Even if the Luo family isn't doing well, they should still be able to afford some luxury goods, right? A fallen camel is still bigger than a horse. Even in its decline, the Luo family is still better than a small company. Can't they even afford luxury goods?]
These days, which professional woman doesn't own a luxury item? Isn't that perfectly normal? Rewarding yourself for hard work, owning a luxury item is perfectly reasonable.
Gu Hanchi did not expect that he would not achieve the desired effect, but instead benefited Luo Zhiwei.
Gu Youran was extremely pleased with herself. She raised her eyebrows arrogantly and said, "See that, Third Master Gu? This is how a normal person thinks. What you're saying is clearly targeting Weiwei."
“I think I should go to the Gu family, or have Gu Beixiao go to the Gu family. I believe the Gu family will definitely ask all sorts of questions, and then... I don’t know how Old Master Gu will treat you.”
She had heard that the Gu family had many rules, which had to be strictly followed.
Gu Hanchi has repeatedly made things difficult for Weiwei. Everyone has their limits. Gu Hanchi is deliberately making things difficult for her. It wouldn't be a problem if she complained about him, would it?
"you..."
Luo Zhiwei, seemingly lost in thought, suddenly had an idea. She interrupted Gu Hanchi, saying in a deep voice, "Third Uncle Gu, let's just let this matter go today. After all, we're family now. Grandpa and Grandma are planning to hold a family reunion banquet for me at Second Aunt's birthday party..."
She glanced at Gu Hanchi with feigned reluctance and continued to fabricate, "My grandparents and second uncle and aunt have been very good to me. I haven't felt that way since my mother left, so... I've softened and want to go back to the Gu family. Third Uncle should welcome me, right?"
"What did you say?"
Gu Hanchi frowned. Why hadn't he heard that his second sister-in-law was going to have a birthday banquet? Wasn't it supposed to be a minor birthday celebration? Why was she having one now, and a big one at that?
"Yes, Gu Yulin said he wanted to hold a grand celebration and make a big splash in the entire capital. I'm sure the old man cares about it a lot."
Gu Youran has also become a big liar, and Gu Hanchi is more suspicious. He immediately called Gu Yulin: "Is your mother going to have a birthday party?"
"Yes, it's going to be a big event; the invitations are already prepared."
Gu Hanchi was still somewhat skeptical, so he called his grandfather again: "Yes, what's wrong with having a birthday party for your second sister-in-law? By the way, Weiwei and Beixiao are coming that day too; they're the most important part of our family..."
Gu Youran probably didn't expect that by following Weiwei's fabricated words, she would make the old man's ambiguous words seem true.
Gu Hanchi left with a dark face, giving them no further kindness.
Luo Zhiwei, since you insist on entering the Gu family, then don't blame me for being impolite.
Danger is creeping in silently; little do they know, they are also luring them into a trap.
**
Lu Jingxiao took all the bags from Luo Zhiwei's hands very naturally: "These shouldn't be yours, right?"
"You can tell that?"
Luo Zhiwei was somewhat shocked. Aren't all luxury goods the same? Why could Lu Jingxiao tell them apart?
None of these items are actually hers, but at least half of them will eventually be hers.
When Ranran buys things, she'll always get her share; in fact, most of it might even be hers.
"These aren't brands you usually use, and besides, you don't like anything I buy, how could you possibly...?"
Nonsense, when did I stop liking it?
I just... those things are too precious for her to wear; wouldn't that attract thieves?
Gu Youran looked at Lu Jingxiao with great pride, her tone boastful: "Can I be compared to you? Even if I gave Weiwei a blade of grass, she would keep it carefully. You..."
Tsk tsk, there's no comparison at all.
Lu Jingxiao's face instantly darkened. Did this mean, "I'm not as good as you?"
How could that be!
I am the most important man to Weiwei. You... are at most just a special one among friends.
"Ms. Gu, how's the project going? You still have time to play around here? Have you finished your work?"
Lu Jingxiao's barrage of questions left Gu Youran speechless.
You've broken down, you've broken down, haven't you!
Depend on!
You actually broke down and even threatened me.
Have some decency.
"Mr. Lu, it's the weekend. Don't I have the right to rest?"
Li Huaijin doesn't care about me, yet you're making things difficult for me?
Once she realized this, she immediately grabbed Luo Zhiwei's arm and wouldn't let go: "Weiwei, look, President Lu is bullying me!"
Luo Zhiwei: "..."
Lu Jingxiao: "..."
Are you really that lacking in martial ethics?
You're... serious about complaining to Weiwei right in front of me?
"Lu Jingxiao, you can't bully Ranran. Ranran and I finally have a chance to go shopping. What's wrong with going shopping? Nobody can only work every day."
Lu Jingxiao: "..."
Baby, how could you hurt me like this?
