Lu Ziying left with one final word and left without even looking back.
Gu Jingchen looked at her back in silence, but he could do nothing.
If someone else had spoken to him with the same attitude as Lu Ziying just now, they would probably have died without knowing how they died.
But, she is Lu Ziting's younger sister.
No matter how dissatisfied he was, he couldn't say anything other than warning.
All Gu Jingchen's mind was filled with the last harsh words that Lu Ziying had just said, word by word, and his heart began to beat uncontrollably again.
substitute?
No.
He didn't treat anyone as a substitute for An An.
No one can be An An's substitute.
But...where is An An?
He had been looking for her for so long, but couldn't find any trace of her...
But he was still stubborn and refused to believe that she really disappeared.
Gu Jingchen felt a tightness in his chest, so he picked up a glass of wine and walked towards the rest area in the distance.
On the other side——
Su An also held a glass of wine and stood silently in the corner.
Because she was a pillar of the family, many people looked at her with curiosity, but were reluctant to approach her.
The person who came to say hello was very polite to her and only asked her to help convey to Gu Jingchen that there would be a chance for cooperation in the future.
Su An took out his cell phone, checked the time, and frowned slightly.
She's been gone for almost ten minutes...
Are Gu Jingchen and Lu Ziying still chatting?
Lu Ziying's temper is worse now than before. If this really gets out of hand, it won't benefit anyone...
What's more, the current identity of "Xia Xiaomo" has nothing to do with Gu Jingchen at all!
What if more rumors spread, causing Gu Jingchen to avoid her even more?
Su An thought about it and couldn't help but look in the direction he had just left.
But through the crowd, she did not see the shadow of Gu Jingchen or Lu Ziying!
Are they done talking?
Where did Gu Jingchen go?
Su An's eyes flickered for a moment, and he was thinking about going to look for it, when...
"Miss Xia, can we talk alone?"
A figure suddenly blocked Su An's way.
It was Lu Ziying who was talking with Gu Jingchen just now!
Su An paused, his nerves tensed unconsciously, and he subconsciously became defensive.
After a two-second pause, she declined calmly, "Mr. Lu, I'm Mr. Gu's assistant. We need to talk alone. I'm afraid..."
"There's nothing inappropriate about it. I'm not asking you to do anything. Come with me."
Lu Ziying didn't give Su An any chance to refuse. As she spoke, she turned and walked towards the corner of the banquet hall.
Su An had no choice but to follow.
The two walked out one after the other.
Just outside the corner is a secluded corridor. Unless someone is going to the bathroom at the end of the corridor, they will not pass by here.
Lu Ziying stood lazily against the wall, with her arms folded across her chest, looking at the person in front of her.
Su An stood straight, lowered his eyes slightly, and stared at the tip of his shoes.
The air was somewhat quiet.
The next second——
"Your real name is Xia Xiaomo?"
Lu Ziying asked.
"yes."
Su An answered straightforwardly.
After all, she had been here for a while, and she had already accepted and gotten used to the name "Xia Xiaomo" from the bottom of her heart.
Thinking of this, she deliberately put on a puzzled look, as if she didn't understand why Lu Ziying asked this.
Lu Ziying's eyes were filled with suspicion as she scanned the person in front of her from head to toe, feeling a lingering sense of familiarity...
The two people confronted each other in silence.
Su An knew that she might have suspected something, so he hurriedly asked, "Mr. Lu called me out just to ask me this?"
"What? Are you impatient already?"
Lu Ziying raised her eyebrows and said, suddenly approaching Su An and warning him in a deep voice, "I don't care who you are, you'd better not have any thoughts about Gu Jingchen! Otherwise... don't blame me for not warning you!"
Su An pursed her lips slightly and said nothing.
Lu Ziying changed the subject and continued to warn him, "Also, don't think that just because he keeps you by his side, he cares about you. If you're smart, you'd have heard that you're very similar to the person in his mind. Even if he treats you preferentially, it's only because you've benefited from that person's influence..."
Every word she spoke was aggressive, trying to cover up the uneasiness in her heart, and even wanted to strangle any sign of the two of them being together in the cradle!
Su An naturally understood what she meant.
But, it doesn't matter anymore.
If Gu Jingchen kept her because she had some of his past shadow, then it would be a good thing for her.
It's also much easier to get close to him.
It’s just Lu Ziying…
Su An was a little annoyed that he didn't walk faster in the cemetery that day.
If Lu Ziying hadn't seen his back, even if she felt somewhat familiar with him, she probably wouldn't have reacted so strongly...
Thinking about it, Su An deliberately put on an indifferent look, and said respectfully, "I'm sorry, Mr. Lu, I don't understand what you are talking about. It's not my place to ask about your private affairs with Mr. Gu. I'm just a lucky person who has the opportunity to work with Mr. Gu. To put it bluntly, I'm just trying to make a living. Please don't make things difficult for me. In order not to lose this job, I will of course take care of myself."
Lu Ziying's eyes were fixed on the person in front of her, with disdain in her heart.
Oh……
In order not to lose your job?
If she really wanted to do that, why not just climb up to the position of the president's wife? Wouldn't she still not lose her job?
This woman may seem quiet, but she's actually not that easy to deal with!
Moreover, even when she said those words just now, she still had that calm and gentle temperament.
She couldn't help but think of the scene when she was with Su An and they were chatting together...
Why is this?
Is she really overthinking it?
Just as Lu Ziying was thinking, she saw Su An suddenly take a step back.
"Mr. Lu, if you have nothing else to say, I'll be leaving first."
After saying that, Su An was about to turn around and leave.
But just after taking one step——
"Wait a moment!"
Lu Ziying suddenly spoke, turned around and stood in front of Su An.
She was still a little unwilling to give up, and said hurriedly, "I have one last question. Who were you going to see when I saw you in the cemetery that day?"
Su An didn't expect her to bring up this topic again, and he immediately became defensive.
I quickly came up with a plan in my heart.
The time when Lu Ziying saw him at the cemetery was obviously a hidden danger.
She needs to ask Leng Yun to help her deal with this matter...
After thinking about it, she finally spoke, "I'm sorry, Mr. Lu, this is my personal matter, I have no comment."
"you!"
Lu Ziying raised her eyebrows as soon as she heard that, as if she wanted to say something.
Su An spoke first, "Mr. Lu, I really don't know what the past is between you and Mr. Gu, and I don't want to know. Please don't embarrass me anymore. If you insist on asking who is buried in that cemetery, why don't we go find Mr. Gu together? If Mr. Gu asks me to tell you, then I will tell you."
Su An pursed his lips, waiting for Lu Ziying to compromise.
This is the last possible solution.
Based on her observations over time, she found that Gu Jingchen was actually a person who was considerate of his subordinates, and not as ruthless as rumored.
It simply means paying more attention to details and professionalism in work.
As long as he does his job well, he won't scold others for no reason.
And in a situation like today, he would definitely not stand on Lu Ziying's side!
