Chapter 227 I heard that you broke up with the guy from the He family?

"He's just having a bad temper."

He didn't go home, but sent the dog back to accompany her. He refused to see her, but didn't stop Xu Zhen from telling her about his schedule. He didn't reply to her WeChat messages, but didn't block her either.

Shen Yu said calmly: "He is a man, does he need you to coax him?"

No brother would like to see his precious sister humble herself to a man, let alone the one he likes.

"He didn't even come home to avoid you. What are you waiting for? Come back with me."

Shuang Xu said, "Brother, let me solve it myself."

Shen Yu looked at her silently for a moment, then gave her an ultimatum: "I'll pick you up tomorrow. If you don't want to go home, go back to Songming Road. Don't stay in a place where you are not welcome."

After he left, Shuang Xu sat in the car and took out a candy from the glove box.

That was the candy prepared for He Tingzhou. He liked to eat candy while driving.

She peeled off the candy wrapper and put the candy in her mouth, only to find that it tasted like lemon and was very sour.

He Wenjing called and she picked up the phone. He Wenjing's smiling voice came from the receiver: "Are you off work? When will you come over?"

She looked at the date blankly, not remembering what she had agreed with He Wenjing about.

"Aunt He, what's up today?"

"Today is the 99th day since your uncle and I first held hands. I'm hosting a party at home and have invited some friends to come over. Come over when you get off work."

Is the anniversary so trivial?

"I won't go today..." She wanted to take advantage of this evening to visit He Tingzhou again.

"You must come. You are Tingzhou's dance partner."

Shuang Xu paused: "Brother Tingzhou is going?"

"Of course, he agreed."

"But he didn't invite me." It was strange enough that He Tingzhou would attend such a dance. He never mentioned it to her. Did he invite other dance partners?

"Why do you two have to be so polite when inviting him?" He Wenjing said as a matter of course, "Who else can be his dance partner besides you?"

Of course, she didn't need an invitation before, but now he didn't even talk to her, so how did she know there was a dance today? Could she have relied on telepathy?

"Oops!" He Wenjing seemed to realize that she had said something wrong, "I forgot that you two were arguing recently. Well, just pretend I didn't say anything."

She hung up the phone in a hurry with a guilty and perfunctory tone.

Shuang Xu frowned.

It's fine if he's just in a bad mood, but if he brings another woman to his aunt's party...

She started the car and stepped on the accelerator.

The Lu family villa was brightly lit, and the hall was filled with well-dressed people. The guests at the ball were all celebrities from Yancheng who had frequent dealings with the Lu family, so naturally they all recognized Shuang Xu.

As soon as she entered the door, she attracted a lot of attention.

"Xiaojiu!" Lu Manman leaned out from the second-floor railing, waved at her, and ran down with her skirt lifted up, "My cousin hasn't come yet."

"I haven't asked yet." said Shuang Xu.

"I am the worm in your stomach." Lu Manman handed her a glass of champagne. "Have you two reconciled?"

Shuang Xu shook his head, took a sip of champagne, and said, "He's having the cold shoulder with me."

"My cousin is so childish. He's already so old but still playing the silent game. When he comes, you two can have a good chat. It will be easy for you to coax him."

He is really hard to appease this time.

Shuang Xu looked around and saw that most of the guests today were rich ladies and wealthy people. It was more like a party for He Wenjing's close friends. He Tingzhou never liked such occasions.

"Did he really say he would come?"

Lu Manman said firmly: "Of course, my mother just called him and he is on his way now."

If he came to such a dance, he would definitely not come alone. The flame of fire had already begun to burn in Shuang Xu's heart.

If he really brought a female companion, then what would the cold reception she had received these days mean?

Lu Manman chatted with her for a few words and then ran away. Shuang Xu took the champagne, found a quiet sofa area, sat down and waited.

At the same time, he was thinking whether to slap him or give him a glass of wine when he met his female companion later.

After waiting for more than twenty minutes, the dance had already started, but there was no sign of He Tingzhou and his female companion.

She checked the time, stood up and prepared to look for Lu Manman, and happened to run into a few well-maintained ladies.

After greeting each other politely and exchanging a few pleasantries, a lady suddenly asked, "I heard that you broke up with that guy from the He family?"

This question stunned Shuang Xu: "Who told you that?"

"It's being spread around. I think it was the Yue family who said it."

They just had a quarrel and were in a cold war for a few days, so why would someone spread the rumor that they were breaking up? Yue Zifeng would definitely not say such nonsense outside...

Is this what He Tingzhou meant?

She clenched the handle of the cup with her fingers: "We didn't break up, we just had some disagreements."

"Then why did I hear that he hasn't been home for several days, nor has he returned to the compound? Maybe he's out there..."

When it comes to the He family's crown prince, everything will attract close attention. If they quarrel, news will always leak out.

Shuang Xu's voice was a little cold: "You can eat whatever you want, but don't say anything nonsense."

The other party seemed to have concluded that she was just being stubborn and refusing to accept reality.

"It's normal for young people to break up and get back together. Only a few relationships can have a smooth and successful ending."

The other wives echoed: "You can tell from his personality that he is not a long-term lover. When he is in a good mood, he is very affectionate and treats you like the apple of his eye. He wants the whole world to know that he loves you. But when the excitement is over, you are nothing more than a speck of blood on the wall in his eyes."

"It's rare that he can be with you for such a long time. You should be content."

"Men can change their minds in a flash. That woman called Shu was with him for two years, but he just dumped her. Now he can't even see her."

"When a man refuses to see you, it means he wants to break up with you through cold violence. You must not rush to find him. Girls should be more sensible and learn to let go. You can live without love, but you cannot lose your dignity."

"You are still so young and beautiful. It's okay to break up. There are many men in the world."

"Yes, yes, yes. I have a nephew who has liked you for a long time. He happened to be here today. I asked him to come over to meet you..."

The dance music was cheerful and cheerful, and couples were spinning and dancing with their skirts fluttering. Shuang Xu listened to their conversations, as if her breakup with He Tingzhou was an established fact.

They also advised her to respect herself and love herself. She didn't know whether to say these ladies were too talkative or too kind-hearted.

She couldn't bear to listen any longer, so she put down her cup and turned to leave, but she bumped into a wall of flesh without any preparation.

Before my eyes was a scene of exquisite suit fabric, and I could already discern the familiar scent of fir trees without even looking up.

He Tingzhou put his knuckles on her waist and raised his eyelids, which were as cold and sharp as a knife. The ladies immediately fell silent.

"Go ahead. Call your nephew over here so I can see him."
