Chapter 55 Chapter 55 This look of looking at someone like they are trash...
"Wow, what a rare guest."
Gu Qingxu happened to meet Lu Ji who walked in. He chuckled and said.
The latest hot topic in the circle is the multiple outsourcing murders that Nie Ying came up with, and the target was the person in front of him. Later, Nie Runhua issued an emergency public relations statement claiming that the culprit was Lu Ran and had nothing to do with his child.
"How come you have time to come over here? Now is probably not the time to come visit me." Gu Qingxu and Lu Ji didn't have much in common, but the victim was here, so he didn't mind eating a melon.
I don’t know what’s going on recently, but there are endless scandals in their circle, each one more exciting than the last.
Lu Ji checked the information of the person in front of him in his mind.
Gu Qingxu, the second young master of the Gu family, is very close to Nie Ying. He is almost the same type of person as Nie Ying, which means he is an idiot.
After making an equal arrangement in his mind, Lu Ji directly put Gu Qingxu on the blacklist.
He ignored Gu Qingxu's expression, which was obviously of watching the fun.
The servant had just passed the message, and Gu Yang came down from upstairs a few moments later.
"Are you here to see me?" Gu Yang asked. Because he was at home, he was only wearing a thin pajamas and a knitted blanket with black and white patterns.
Lu Ji hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.
Although he was in a daze when he walked over, he did have something to ask Gu Yang.
"Is that so?" Gu Yang thought for a moment and pointed upwards, "Let's talk in my room."
Lu Ji originally wanted to find a private space to talk alone, so he changed his shoes and was about to follow, but Gu Qingxu on the side sneered.
"Are you addicted to bringing people back to your room?"
Lu Ji paused as he was going upstairs and looked at Gu Qingxu in confusion.
"I don't know when you became so close to this new member of the Lu family?" Gu Qingxu was already upset because of Lu Ji's disregard for him, and now he was upset, "Or can you bring anyone back to your room?"
Facing Gu Qingxu's sudden attack, Gu Yang recalled the past with an expressionless face.
What he just said should be to go into his own room, not to dance on Gu Qingxu's bed with his shoes on.
Then he raised his head and looked at Gu Qingxu as if he was a fool.
Lu Ji became even more confused.
He didn't know how he had offended Gu Qingxu by entering Gu Yang's room.
But when he thought that this person was a friend of Nie Ying, he felt a little relieved.
It is true that birds of a feather flock together.
But no matter what, he is Gu Yang's younger brother, and Lu Ji cannot cause discord in Gu Yang's family because of his own reasons.
"It's almost time for dinner. I'd like to invite you out for dinner. Is that okay?" He found a compromise.
Gu Yang hesitantly looked at the sky outside which was already getting a little dark, and wrapped the blanket tighter around himself.
He actually didn't want to go out, but after mentally preparing himself, he nodded reluctantly and went back upstairs to change into clothes for going out.
Lu Ji was waiting for him downstairs, and Gu Qingxu did not leave during that time.
He originally thought that the other party disliked him, so he suggested going out to eat.
But Gu Qingxu's expression not only did not improve, but became even more weird. He looked him up and down without even pretending, as if he was comparing something.
After the incident at the Lu family, Lu Ji was very tired and had no energy to deal with Gu Qingxu.
Finally, he couldn't stand Gu Qingxu's gaze anymore. He raised his head coldly and was about to say something back, but the moment he opened his mouth, he suddenly felt blessed.
He looked strange and asked uncertainly, "Doesn't Gu Yang allow you to enter his room?"
Gu Qingxu's face froze, and he couldn't help but laughed in a somewhat ridiculous way.
After leaning against the handrail and sneering several times, he was about to say something when Gu Yang, who had changed his clothes, came down from upstairs and passed by him sideways.
"Let's go."
Lu Ji nodded, and the two left together.
Lu Ji found a restaurant with a private room. The waiter handed over the menu, but Gu Yang closed his portion without even looking at it, indicating that he could just order whatever he wanted.
But this made Lu Ji feel troubled. He didn't know what Gu Yang liked to eat, so he could only pretend to look at the menu while secretly sending a message under the table to He Mingan for help.
The reply came almost instantly: "It's all OK (^_^)."
What Lu Ji was most afraid of hearing was "anything is fine." He took a deep breath slowly, guessing that He Mingan might just be teasing him, so he simply asked the waiter to recommend a few signature dishes and placed the order directly.
After the waiter left, they were the only two people left in the box.
Lu Ji originally wanted to say something polite to warm up the atmosphere, but after searching for words, he found that this was indeed not suitable for him. He smiled helplessly and just got straight to the point.
"Lu Ran has been kicked out of the Lu family and returned to his original place."
After hearing this, Gu Yang's originally wandering gaze finally focused on him.
"Nie Ying pointed out that it was Lu Ran who asked him to help cause trouble for me. They originally planned to cripple one of my legs." At this point, Lu Ji's eyes were cold, "It's a pity that so many things went wrong in the middle, and they didn't succeed in the end."
"But just like this, there is no way to completely make Lu Ran leave."
After going through so many things, he has become desensitized to the Lu couple's coldness and he doesn't feel any pain unless the whip hits him.
Lu Ji looked into Gu Yang's eyes and spoke slowly, "If you hadn't given me the details of Lu Ran's private sale of the group's secrets, I wouldn't have been able to bring Lu Ran down so quickly."
"But Gu Yang, why do you want to help me?" When he said this, his eyes were no longer firm, but flickered unconsciously.
He had long ceased to be afraid of malicious intent, but he was helpless against unprovoked kindness.
Gu Yang leaned his elbow on the armrest, supported his face with one hand, and casually cast his eyes on the tea bowl in front of him.
"Nothing, just something that happened to me."
Naturally, Lu Ji would never accept such an explanation.
He knew that Gu Yang was not an ordinary person.
This piece of knowledge had been deeply imprinted in his mind since the first day he entered Class 11, when his three perspectives were reshaped when he heard the other person's inner thoughts.
Not only could he hear them, but those voices also contained news that he didn't know about, even news about the future.
It was through this that he was able to get a glimpse of his own unfortunate fate, shattering his unrealistic fantasies about the Lu family, and having the opportunity to take the initiative.
Invisibly, he already owed Gu Yang a lot.
But these are all passive. He really doesn't understand why Gu Yang is willing to take the initiative to look up this information for him and help him deal with Lu Ran.
Xie Wu helped because he was a chivalrous person who stood up for justice, but when Lu Ji looked at Gu Yang's expression, he couldn't associate this person with chivalry.
Or did he know too little?
Just when Lu Ji was still struggling, he heard Gu Yang's voice again.
[It’s good that it’s solved. Finally, we don’t have to watch those frustrating plots where fake young masters take over the magpie’s nest and the real young masters are beaten out. 】
[I remember that in the original plot, Lu Ran's reselling of secrets was later discovered by Lu Zhenxing, who was found to be wrong. However, Lu Zheng helped Lu Ran cover up the matter and even threw the dirty water on Lu Ji. 】
[Lu Ji had just had one leg broken by Nie Ying's men, and was then kicked out of the house by Lu Zhenxing in the middle of the night without even having to put on a coat. 】
[That night, the first snow fell in Jiangcheng. In the heavy snow, Lu Ji walked forward hungry and cold, and his leg bones that had not yet healed transmitted piercing pain. 】
[He didn't even have a walking stick with him, and he accidentally lost his balance and fell in the snow. He struggled to get up, but didn't know where to go. He just stood on the side of the road in confusion and despair until dawn. 】
Gu Yang even recited a passage of the original text.
Lu Ji: “…”
Even a little match girl can pick up a match in the snow and ice, so he just endured it, right?
Why didn't he freeze to death?
Because it was so ridiculous, he couldn't even feel sorry for himself.
What is going on here?
But he captured the key information from the pile of complaints just now.
Lu Ran actually teamed up with Lu Zheng to put the blame on him.
During the many days he lived in the Lu family, Lu Zheng seemed to be the most rational and calm person, but Lu Ji could feel that the other party was not so-called fair, but selfish, and only based on his own interests.
It can't be said that Lu Zheng is sincere towards Lu Ran. He is just following his parents' wishes and not causing trouble for himself.
I think the reason why they were willing to help Lu Ran cover up was, firstly, to get hold of Lu Ran's handle to make him obey, and secondly, to suppress him. After all, he was also a child of the Lu family and had the same inheritance rights...
etc.
When he thought of this, Lu Ji paused, and suddenly he felt like he was seeing through the darkness and fog.
Even if Lu Ran left, he had already lost his heart to the Lu family and wanted to distance himself from them as much as possible.
But it shouldn't be like this.
So what if we become distant? That group of people still lived a comfortable life, and his actions could not bring any revenge on anyone.
He has the blood of the Lu family, and everything in the Lu family should have a share in him. Instead of waiting for his parents' conscience to act up at any time, it is better to hold everything in his hands and never have to expect anyone's mercy again.
The more he thought about it, the more open his mind became, and even his eyes lit up slightly.
The ordered dishes were served one by one.
Gu Yang picked up the chopsticks and glanced at Lu Ji, who was the host, only to find that the other person's eyes were exceptionally bright at this moment, with a vigorous vitality that broke through the cold and hard shell and radiated from the inside out.
It's like a seed that has been lying underground for many years and finally sprouts.
That vitality even rubbed off on his body, causing his cold fingertips to slightly warm up.
That's great.
At this moment, these three words were the only ones printed in his mind.
When Ying Jiayi came back, he saw the bright smile on her face and the same thought came to his mind.
Ying Jiayi's unfortunate fate changed because of her encounter with a bitch.
Because the plot was different from the original, when he called to inquire about Ying Jiayi's situation, he also asked her why she suddenly thought of checking on her father.
As a result, Ying Jiayi told him seriously that it was because of his words that a son-in-law was not desirable that she suddenly understood everything.
So was it because of his insignificant words that led to such a big change?
Obviously at the beginning, I just thought it was interesting.
He stands as a bystander, no, it should be said that he looks at the fate of everyone in the book from a God's perspective, but because he is too detached, he cannot generate any real emotions.
But something has definitely begun to change.
Both parties ate absent-mindedly during the meal. After Lu Ji made up his mind, he was no longer confused.
He hasn't figured out why Gu Yang wants to help him, nor has he gotten an answer from the other party.
But he has come to terms with it now.
Anyway, as long as he works hard to climb up and holds the power of the Lu Group in his hands, there will always be a chance to repay him in the future.
After eating, Lu Ji planned to send Gu Yang back first. After all, too many things had happened in the past few days, which always gave him a feeling that the security in Jiangcheng was not very good recently.
It turned out that he was not overthinking.
Because they had just taken a few steps out of the restaurant when they saw Nie Ying's figure.
Nie Ying lit another cigarette irritably.
He is waiting for someone here.
Waiting for his biological mother.
Nie Runhua was unwilling to maintain a good attitude even for a moment after coming out of the Lu family. He was already under extreme pressure because of Mrs. Nie's insistence on divorce and the recent overt and covert attacks from his brother in the group.
As a result, that careless son caused such a big trouble for him at this time.
This made the Nie family once again the topic of conversation.
Naturally, Nie Ying couldn't empathize with Nie Runhua's difficulties. He was used to being obeyed by others, so even if this person was his father, when he was bullied, beaten and scolded, he would just feel angry.
He didn't want to go back to this place for the time being, so as to avoid becoming Nie Runhua's venting bag when he was in a bad mood.
But the more this happened, the more he wanted to be loved.
Nie Runhua and Madam Nie naturally couldn't give it to him, and neither could the group of servants in the house who only knew how to be yes-men.
Before she knew it, Nie Ying had arrived at the gate of a residential area.
After realizing where he was, he found it ridiculous, but his feet remained rooted to the ground and did not move.
This neighborhood looked so shabby that he would even get his shoes dirty just passing by.
But his biological mother lives in this community.
He heard the other party mention it when they met last time.
He obviously didn't want to remember it.
Nie Ying shook her head in self-mockery.
His self-esteem did not allow him to call the other party to tell them that he was here, so as not to appear to be rushing to come, but he did not leave either.
In the end, he could only lean against the wall decadently, smoking one cigarette after another to pass the time.
I don’t know how long it took, but a person walked out from the gate of the community.
The moment she caught sight of the figure, Nie Ying locked her eyes on it, revealing a hopeful look that she herself was not aware of.
He brushed off the cigarette ash on his body, straightened up his clothes, and wiped off his dishevelled appearance, trying to pretend to walk over and talk to the woman casually.
He still remembered that the woman had taken him to a small restaurant last time, and thought that she might never have been to any high-end restaurants in her life. Anyway, it was still early and he hadn't eaten yet, so he might as well take her out to eat.
He convinced himself and took a step forward.
Suddenly, he stopped as if he saw something.
Behind the woman, a little girl about four or five years old with pigtails came out skipping.
The woman held the little girl's hand and showed a gentle and doting smile on her face that he had never seen before.
The little girl called out "Mom" in a crisp voice, and her voice rang out clearly in the night, announcing the identities of the two of them and shattering Nie Ying's last fantasy.
Nie Ying's eyes were bulging with bloodshot.
Why.
Why would even his own mother betray him?
Unprecedented anger made it almost impossible for him to think calmly. He rushed forward and stood in front of the woman.
The little girl was stopping in front of a toy stall, looking at the glow stick on it with longing eyes.
A black shadow enveloped her, and before she could react, the stall in front of her was kicked over.
All the glow sticks were scattered on the ground and screams were heard from the vendors.
The little girl turned her head blankly and saw a tall man who looked like an evil ghost standing in front of her.
She was so scared that she burst into tears.
Hearing the weak cry, Nie Ying's expression did not relax at all, instead the hostility between his brows became even stronger. Combined with his absolute size advantage, it was enough to scare the onlookers.
Hu Xian was so frightened that she quickly stepped forward to stop Nie Ying. Because she was so excited, her nails dug into her flesh: "What are you going to do?"
The gentle look of anxiety that day was no longer in her eyes, and instead she looked anxious and fierce.
Nie Ying felt even more upset when he saw this. He pushed the other person away. Hu Xian was thrown into a street lamp post, but staggered back immediately.
While the two were struggling, the little girl, who had no idea what was happening, kept pushing back helplessly until she bumped into something.
Gu Yang half squatted down and caught the child who almost fell over.
The little girl must have been really scared. She hugged Gu Yang's neck and buried her head in his neck.
Gu Yang's body stiffened slightly, and his limbs became a little awkward.
He has always been in awe of human cubs, who are full of energy and have no taboos, so he has never had close contact with them.
Now I could only helplessly pick the person up in this position. Fortunately, this little kid was not heavy.
Nie Ying, who had completely shaken off the woman, looked over with bloodshot eyes.
Lu Ji supported the woman and at the same time put half of his body in front of Gu Yang.
If he was not mistaken, Nie Ying was about to have a crazy fit.
Gu Yang was still adjusting his hands carefully, but his contempt for Nie Ying was not lost at all on his face.
He forced out a sarcastic smile, but there was no smile in his eyes, and he looked at him coldly, as if he was looking at garbage.
Nie Ying confronted coldly.
Looking at Gu Yang's smile, he suddenly answered a question that he had never thought about before.
Why does he hate Gu Yang so much?
This kind of smile because she looks down on him...
She really looks like Mrs. Nie.
