The Lu family and the Gu family are now competitors this time.
The Lin family, who are also competitors, did not show up today, so everyone naturally thought that no one from the Lu family would come.
But I didn’t expect that Lu Ziying actually came!
and……
Everyone present exchanged knowing glances.
Lu Ziting, the only son of the Lu family, died suddenly, and Lu Ziying took over the Lu family.
Whenever Gu Jingchen was around, she couldn't help but be sarcastic, and many rumors had already spread.
Now here again...
"Ahem...Mr. Lu, how are you?"
Someone said hello.
Lu Ziying chuckled and said sharply, "President Lu is President Lu. President Ren has to be a little ahead of me. Is it because she thinks I'm too young? Or does she look down on me because I'm a woman?"
"Of course not, Mr. Lu, please don't misunderstand me!"
The other party looked a little embarrassed and quickly denied it.
As Su An listened, his brows couldn't help but frown more and more.
Ziying...
It's really become completely different from before.
Su An couldn't help but glance at Lu Ziying's body again. His heart felt sour and bitter, and he couldn't describe the feeling for a moment.
Then, she saw his gaze fall on her again, and there was a sharp flash in his eyes that she couldn't understand.
The next second——
"Hello, Miss Xia, nice to meet you again."
Lu Ziying actually took the initiative to say hello and called out Su An's name!
Su An paused slightly, not surprised by this.
Lu Ziying must have checked her out privately.
But what she could find out should not be much different from what Gu Jingchen found out.
Thinking about it, she nodded gently and greeted politely, "Mr. Lu."
Lu Ziying was stunned when she heard this. She didn't know what she was thinking about, and a cold look flashed across her eyes.
It's that feeling again...
When she first met Su An, she seemed so quiet, exuding a calm and approachable temperament!
Why does the woman in front of her give her the same feeling!
Does Gu Jingchen also like this about her?
Lu Ziying clenched her fingers around the wine glass, then suddenly changed the subject, "Ms. Xia is quite beautiful. I thought there would never be a woman around Gu Jingchen in his lifetime."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's faces froze.
Who doesn’t know that the word “woman” is a sensitive topic for Gu Jingchen?
Even everyone was gossiping about the fact that he suddenly hired a beautiful assistant.
But with Liang Dong in the lead, who dares to say anything?
After all, everyone knows what goes on between men and women.
It was just that Gu Jingchen had previously shown himself to be uninterested in women, which made everyone curious and gossipy about the relationship between him and Assistant Xia.
But Lu Ziying is asking for trouble so blatantly, is she trying to kill herself?
"Um... Mr. Gu, I'm going to say hello to Mr. Lin over there."
Some people hurriedly slipped away, preparing to run away, fearing that if Gu Jingchen got furious, they would be dragged into it.
Seeing this, the others also agreed, saying that they wanted to walk around and talk to people they knew, and then they made excuses to turn around and leave.
In just a few seconds, only Su An, Gu Jing and Lu Ziying were left there.
"Oh……"
Lu Ziying scoffed, her eyes sweeping disdainfully around the people who had just left. Then, in an even more brazen tone than before, she said, "Oh, by the way, I forgot to mention that Assistant Xia's aura... gives people the feeling of someone I know. I wonder if Mr. Gu... feels the same way?"
She looked at Gu Jingchen with a frown, and pursed her lips slightly with some reluctance.
Gu Jingchen paused when he heard this, and naturally knew who she was referring to.
Then just as he was about to speak——
Lu Ziying couldn't control herself anymore and continued, "I really didn't expect that at this age, you would still play this childish substitute game? No matter how much she resembles you, she can't be the person in your heart! Gu Jingchen, what on earth are you dreaming about? She won't come back, forever..."
"Lu Ziying!"
Gu Jingchen couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted her.
Su An stood aside with his eyes lowered and his brows furrowed.
Then I heard——
"Go and entertain the guests."
Gu Jingchen said in a deep voice.
Although there was no utterance, Su An knew that these words were spoken to him.
Gu Jingchen wanted to get her away.
"Mr. Gu from here."
Su An agreed without hesitation, then turned and left.
It felt like there was a little rabbit in my chest, jumping around everywhere, making me feel uneasy.
She knew the person Lu Ziying was talking about better than anyone else.
I originally thought that as long as I covered my face, I could achieve perfect disguise.
But now it seems...
This matter was much more difficult than he had imagined.
Maybe Lu Ziying hated her, which is why she had such a "deep" impression of her?
And Gu Jingchen is...
Su An blinked, thinking of the things related to himself in his office, and immediately forced himself not to think about it anymore.
Whether Gu Jingchen loves him or not, it doesn't matter anymore.
Well, she doesn't love him anymore.
Right now, no matter how many people and difficulties she has to face, she must grit her teeth and persevere!
Not far away——
Gu Jingchen's expression had completely darkened, and he warned in a low voice, "Lu Ziying, my tolerance for you..."
"There's a limit, right? So what?"
Lu Ziying took a step forward, her face filled with stubbornness and resentment. "What can you do to me? How dare you do anything to me? Am I wrong? You really have nothing to do with that woman surnamed Xia?"
She spoke very quickly, and after she said the last word, her heart was in her throat, waiting for Gu Jingchen's answer.
Gu Jingchen took a deep breath, his forehead throbbing.
Whether he has a relationship with other women or not, it is none of Lu Ziying’s business!
It's not her turn to question like this!
But……
It doesn't matter what others say.
But Xia Xiaomo cannot be involved in the matter between him and Lu Ziying. It has nothing to do with her.
Gu Jingchen was silent for a while, and finally said in a deep voice, "It's not your turn to question my affairs! But Xia Xiaomo is just my assistant. For the sake of her reputation, you'd better not say anything nonsense!"
This was the most lenient attitude he could show.
Lu Ziying scoffed and snorted coldly, then met Gu Jingchen's gaze forcefully and said aggressively, "Just an assistant? Do you believe that? If I remember correctly, you were recruiting openly at the time? There were so many people applying, but you chose her? Do you dare to say that it wasn't because she looked like Su An? Not to mention that you didn't think she looked alike, even I, who had only known her for a short time, felt that there were similarities, let alone you who had slept in the same bed with her!!!"
She almost squeezed out the last few words through gritted teeth.
A dark light suddenly flashed in Gu Jingchen's eyes, but he didn't say anything.
Of course, he also felt that Xia Xiaomo sometimes gave people a very familiar feeling...
He had already taken this into consideration when he was deciding whether to hire her.
Gu Jingchen took a deep breath, not wanting to continue arguing with Lu Ziying, and continued to lecture her, "Have you said enough? This is not the place for you to throw a tantrum today..."
"You want me to pay attention to the occasion again?"
Lu Ziying interrupted him immediately, then a mocking smile appeared at the corner of her lips.
"I know that my performance is not good enough, and it is far from enough to support the Lu family. If my brother were still here, he would definitely be the best successor of the entire Lu family. How could it be my turn? But can you tell me where he is now?"
Gu Jingchen fell silent again.
Lu Ziting’s matter is a hurdle that he will never be able to overcome.
A while——
He sternly said again, "If your brother were still here, he wouldn't want to see you..."
"You are not qualified to teach me!"
Lu Ziying interrupted him again, hatred gathering in her eyes.
"Gu Jingchen, you are the only one in the world who has no right to say such things to me! Remember what you just said, that Xia is just an assistant. Don't let me know what you two have going on. Even if I die, I won't let you be with the person you love! Not even a substitute! You are not worthy! You and Su An should live alone for the rest of your lives and atone for our Lu family!"
