Chapter 29 Gu Family Birthday Banquet (1)
The Gu family villa, or more accurately, the estate, was already full of cars, and people arriving for the banquet were walking towards the main villa in an endless stream. After getting out of the car, Luo Zhiwei also planned to follow them.
After taking only two steps, they heard Lu Jingxiao cough as if issuing a warning.
Luo Zhiwei: "......"
She seemed to have been put on pause, unable to move forward an inch. Lu Jingxiao looked like he was gritting his teeth, filled with hatred, but he couldn't bear to blame her. He could only awkwardly walk to Luo Zhiwei's side and then pull her hand through his bent hand.
Is there anyone more tragic than him?
He had to do it himself if he wanted Weiwei to hold his arm.
He glared angrily at Luo Zhiwei, and then added insult to injury with a few sarcastic remarks: "Is this how you act as a female companion?"
Luo Zhiwei: "......"
I'm really sorry, I've never done that for anyone.
Luo Zhiwei remained silent, resignedly taking Lu Jingxiao's arm as they entered the villa.
Li Huaijin and Si Ming arrived early and accompanied Gu Yulin to greet guests outside. This was a family banquet, the old man's birthday banquet, not a company banquet. As a junior, Gu Yulin should greet guests outside.
When the three saw Lu Jingxiao, they exchanged smiles. Gu Yulin looked like he was hiding his accomplishment, thinking to himself, "I knew you would bring Luo Zhiwei."
Li Huaijin was the first to step forward, pointing with his well-defined knuckles and making a mocking gesture, looking like he was enjoying the show: "We're all single, why are you the only one who brought a female companion?"
Luo Zhiwei: "......"
That was too hasty.
She should have stuck to her principles and not come over.
Lu Jingxiao's eyes held a warning, telling Li Huaijin what he should and shouldn't say. Li Huaijin naturally understood the meaning behind his gaze, and he tilted his head to look at Gu Yulin: "Big brother, the third brother is threatening me."
Gu Yulin: "......"
Good luck to you.
This is none of my business.
Gu Yulin walked slowly between the two of them. He didn't look at Lu Jingxiao, but instead focused his gaze on Luo Zhiwei. He smiled gently and said, "Miss Luo, your father and Mrs. Zhao have already gone inside. You don't need to worry. As long as they don't do anything out of line, I won't make things difficult for them."
When Lu Jingxiao approached him, he was prepared to do her a favor.
Five years ago, when Lu Jingxiao and she had just broken up... they said some hurtful things, and now that I think about it... they really shouldn't have.
The invitation is just a favor to do.
He went to the Lu family a few days ago, mainly to see Luo Zhiwei and gauge her temperament. He and Li Huaijin were preparing to apologize...
Back then, Si Ming was away in Beijing with his advisor on a research project and didn't participate in this matter. When he returned, they went to the United States together, so... Si Ming doesn't need to apologize.
Luo Zhiwei's heart skipped a beat; it seemed they all knew.
Come to think of it, people like them, the top elites, have everything under control, how could they not know about these people's underhanded tactics?
Perhaps, they even allowed it.
Now it seems that this is indeed the case.
"Then thank you very much, Mr. Gu."
Gu Yulin simply nodded slightly. After carefully preparing himself, he said softly, "Miss Luo, Huaijin and I were very offended by what happened five years ago. Please forgive us. If you ever need anything from Huaijin and me in the future, please don't hesitate to ask."
Luo Zhiwei felt like her brain couldn't keep up. She looked blank and asked, "President Gu, what happened five years ago?"
Gu Yulin thought she was pretending on purpose. Although he was a little unhappy, it was indeed him and Huaijin who had said hurtful things about her.
It's their fault.
Although many years have passed, I still should apologize.
If they never cross paths again in their lives, then there may be no chance to say this apology.
But now that they're tied together again, they should apologize and not avoid the issue.
They just hadn't anticipated that Luo Zhiwei's memories of many things were blurred due to depression. When people are pushed to the brink, they often forget or lose things inexplicably...
Luo Zhiwei truly had no idea what could have happened between her and Gu Yulin five years ago.
"do not you remember?"
That can't be right. Although he and Li Huaijin didn't use vulgar language, they were definitely kicking someone when they were down.
Anyone would remember that for a lifetime.
But why doesn't Luo Zhiwei remember?
Or was she doing it on purpose?
Luo Zhiwei was even more confused, her eyes sincere yet filled with suspicion: "What should I be careful about?"
As soon as she finished speaking, a familiar voice came from behind her: "Weiwei baby!"
No one knows what this call meant to Luo Zhiwei.
It was simply heavenly music.
She turned around in surprise and took two steps forward: "Ranran!"
Luo Zhiwei was overjoyed; at least she had some acquaintances at this banquet.
She was happy, but someone else wasn't.
Because Lu Jingxiao saw Gu Beixiao.
Hmph! ╭(╯^╰)╮!
**
Luo Zhiwei then looked at Gu Beixiao and greeted him politely, "Brother Gu, why are you only arriving now?"
Gu Beixiao feigned helplessness, looking down at Gu Youran: "A certain young lady was choosing a dress, which took up a little time."
Luo Zhiwei chuckled softly; this was something Ranran was capable of doing.
Gu Youran protested, huffing arrogantly, "How can you blame me?"
Gu Beixiao smiled indulgently: "It's my fault."
"Yes, it's your fault for not timing it properly."
Gu Youran held Luo Zhiwei's hand, and the two sisters walked forward together, naturally ending up holding each other's arms, showing that they had a very good relationship.
"Shall we go in?" Luo Zhiwei asked in a low voice.
"etc."
Gu Youran walked up to Gu Yulin and the others, her eyes no longer so kind, but rather carrying a hint of innate arrogance: "President Gu, you can ask me any questions you have. I know everything about Weiwei. Don't make things difficult for my Weiwei in public."
Immediately afterwards, Gu Youran left with Luo Zhiwei.
The abandoned crowd.
Gu Yulin: "???"
What's troubling me?
Lu Jingxiao: "..."
My Weiwei just abandoned me like this?
Gu Beixiao seemed to be used to it and didn't take it to heart at all. Instead, he followed behind her with doting affection. However, when passing by Lu Jingxiao, he looked at her with a condescending expression and said, "Weiwei can't remember many things from before. There's no need to force her to remember."
Depression is Weiwei's private matter, and neither he nor Gu Youran would tell anyone without Weiwei's permission.
Therefore, he could only touch upon the point.
Saying too much would be bad.
Lu Jingxiao's expression changed instantly. What did Gu Beixiao mean?
Watching Gu Beixiao's retreating figure, Lu Jingxiao was indignant: "What does he mean?"
Si Ming remained silent for a while before finally considering the issue from a doctor's perspective: "If Miss Luo hasn't been in a car accident or had any memory removal surgery, then there's only one possibility..."
hiss--
Will Third Brother be able to accept this?
"What's possible?"
Lu Jingxiao asked anxiously.
"Then...it must be depression. People who are tormented by depression to the extreme will subconsciously forget some things, so..."
Lu Jingxiao roared furiously at Gu Yulin and Li Huaijin, "What have you two done?!"
