Chapter 64: Express your confusion!
Lu Yuanzhou froze in place, his mind dazed as he asked, "Mengxue, is there anything you and Brother Yunting have to say that I can't listen to?"
Su Mengxue knew that Lu Yuanzhou had misunderstood her and Gu Yunting, but she also wanted to take this opportunity to make him completely give up on her, especially in front of his mother, so that his mother would not cause trouble for him when she returned.
She didn't say anything as a sign of agreement.
Seeing this, Zhu Li hurriedly said, "Yuanzhou, can't you see this? Come home with me quickly."
Seeing that Su Mengxue was silent, Lu Yuanzhou took a few steps forward and asked, "Mengxue, say something. You said, you..."
Su Mengxue turned to look at him and interrupted with a slightly indifferent tone, "Lu Yuanzhou, I've made it very clear to you before. I only consider you a friend. Go ahead. Gu Yunting will take me back later."
"Mengxue, what's wrong with you..." Seeing Su Mengxue's attitude change, Lu Yuanzhou spoke anxiously, but he didn't know what to say.
Zhu Li stepped forward and grabbed Lu Yuanzhou's arm: "Yuanzhou, she has already said so. It will be meaningless if you continue to pester her. Come home with me." As she said that, she pulled the still dazed Lu Yuanzhou away.
After Lu Yuanzhou and Zhu Li walked away, Gu Yunting looked at Su Mengxue and taunted her, "Su Mengxue, you used me as a shield to distance yourself from Lu Yuanzhou. Are you afraid that Aunt Zhu will go back and cause trouble for him? You're really good to Lu Yuanzhou."
Su Mengxue was already accustomed to Gu Yunting's sarcastic tone. She ignored his sarcasm and asked, "Gu Yunting, were you the one who paid the deposit for my hospitalization?"
Gu Yunting replied nonchalantly, "It's just a matter of convenience."
Seeing that he accepted it, Su Mengxue hurriedly took out money from her pocket.
Gu Yunting's eyes darkened and he stopped her, saying, "Su Mengxue, just because my dad likes you, I dare not take your money."
"Gu Yunting, this matter is between you and me, and I won't tell Grandpa Gu."
Su Mengxue said as she swiftly counted out five hundred yuan from her pocket, stacked them neatly together and handed them to Gu Yunting: "Gu Yunting, here are five hundred yuan. Count it together with the three hundred yuan you gave me before, and I'll return it to you."
Seeing her being so distant with him, Gu Yunting said in a cold and hard voice, "I won't take this money. Take it back immediately."
Su Mengxue handed the money to him and explained, "Gu Yunting, what happened before was consensual. I don't need compensation. I lent you the money back then. Now that I have money, of course I have to pay you back."
Gu Yunting's Adam's apple moved slightly, and a hint of coldness filled his eyes: "Take the money back, I'm going to the hospital to see my dad."
Seeing that he was in a hurry to leave, Su Mengxue pressed him, "Gu Yunting, were you put in solitary confinement for standing up for me?"
Gu Yunting stopped, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes: "How did you know?"
Just as Su Mengxue was about to thank him, she heard a deep voice: "Yun Ting, you're here early."
Su Mengxue turned around after hearing this and saw Jiang Weilong coming with Jiang Shiyi beside him.
Her eyes subconsciously looked around at Jiang Shiyi. She was wearing a silk dress, a pearl necklace on her neck that glowed softly, emerald green earrings on her ears, and a jade bracelet that was all emerald green on her hand. It was obvious that she was worth a lot of money.
She thought to herself, that's right, the Jiang family's beloved daughter has finally been found, so of course she deserves to be adorned with jewels and precious stones.
However, she quickly frowned. If she remembered correctly, the book had written a few words that Jiang Shiyi was three years younger than Gu Yunting, but she looked even younger than herself. What was going on?
Before she could think about it, Jiang Weilong said softly to Jiang Shiyi, "Shiyi, didn't you say you had a lot to say to your brother Yunting? Why, after not seeing each other for so many years, have you become estranged?"
It was the first time that Su Mengxue heard Jiang Weilong speak so gently. Every time she saw him before, he had a stern face. She was a little uncomfortable when she heard him speak so gently.
Jiang Shiyi's eyes fell on Gu Yunting, and her cheeks suddenly flushed. She lowered her head and said shyly, "Brother Yunting, long time no see."
Su Mengxue immediately turned to look at Gu Yunting with a gossipy look on her face, but he caught her red-handed. He glared at her fiercely, and she knew it was not good to stay here any longer. She said angrily, "You guys chat, I have something to do, so I'll leave first."
She was about to walk out when she heard Gu Yunting say, "To prevent you from getting into trouble again, I'll take you back."
Fang Rou had already been taken to the Public Security Bureau. What could possibly happen to her? She was about to refuse when Jiang Weilong raised his hand to block Gu Yunting's arm and spoke first: "Yunting, the public security in Jiangbei has always been very good. Besides, it's broad daylight. What could possibly happen to her? You and Shi Yi finally met, and you're just going to leave like this?"
Su Mengxue saw Jiang Weilong's anger boiling over. She didn't want to offend him, so she quickly said, "Gu Yunting, it's safe for me to go back by bus. You don't have to send me off."
"I'm not doing this just for you. If anything happens to you again, I'm afraid my dad's condition will get worse. I'll send you back."
Jiang Weilong raised his hand and pointed at Gu Yunting angrily, and asked in a stern voice: "Gu Yunting, are you sure you want to leave Shi Yi and me here and go see her off?"
Gu Yunting met Jiang Weilong's gaze and said calmly, "You and Shi Yi go in first, I'll be back soon."
"Gu Yunting, what do you think of my sister?" Jiang Weilong's forehead was bulging with veins. He took a few steps forward and raised his hand to punch Gu Yunting.
Seeing this, Jiang Shiyi immediately reached out and grabbed Jiang Weilong's arm, saying, "Brother, don't embarrass Brother Yunting. Uncle Gu is still waiting. Let's go see him first, okay?"
Jiang Weilong glanced at Jiang Shiyi, afraid of scaring her, and the expression on his face instantly eased a lot. He sighed heavily and walked quickly towards the hospital.
Jiang Shiyi glanced at Su Mengxue, his eyes flickering, and then he smiled at Gu Yunting with a curved eyebrow: "Brother Yunting, you know my brother's temper. Don't take his words to heart. I'll wait for you in the ward."
Seeing Jiang Shiyi being so understanding, Gu Yunting replied unnaturally, "Okay."
…
After the car started, Su Mengxue in the back seat said to Gu Yunting angrily, "Gu Yunting, why are you using me as a shield? Aren't you clearly trying to make me offend Jiang Weilong?"
Gu Yunting's eyebrows moved slightly. So this is what Su Mengxue thought. A dark light flashed in his eyes. Then he pursed his lips and said confidently: "Since you can use me as a shield, why can't I use you?"
He added, "As long as I'm here, Jiang Weilong won't do anything to you."
Su Mengxue glanced at him and said in a faint voice, "You don't like her?"
Gu Yunting glanced at Su Mengxue through the rearview mirror and blurted out, "Do you care?"
"Gu Yunting, please don't think too much about it. Everyone has a gossipy heart. I'm just curious. If you don't want to tell me, just pretend I didn't ask."
"I already have someone I like, and I only treat her as a younger sister."
Although Gu Yunting knew that Su Mengxue didn't care about these things, he was still afraid that she would misunderstand, so he explained it to her in a low voice.
Su Mengxue instantly thought of Gu Yunting's drunken confession and quickly coughed twice to change the subject: "Gu Yunting, don't you find it strange? Jiang Shiyi looks younger than me."
