Chapter 123
Gu Xing stretched his head to take a look, but couldn’t make out anything through the gift box. He turned to meet Lu Xun’s indifferent gaze and chuckled twice: “I’ll just take a look, I won’t open it, hehe…”
A cowardly look on his face.
Wang Jie couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Gu Xing didn't dare to challenge Lu Xun, so could he not be cured?! He grabbed Wang Jie who was about to go inside and said fiercely: "You, stand here with me!"
Wang Jie: “???!!”
"No, you are sick?" Wang Jie couldn't believe it.
He is not related to Mr. Gu, so what identity does he have to stand here? ! Is Gu Xing too stupid? !
Wang Jie wanted to shake off the hand on his arm, but Gu Xing was sweet and cute, and very strong. For a moment, he couldn't break free.
Gu Xing then took the opportunity to firmly hold his shoulders, turned to Lu Xun and said, "By the way, Brother Xun, my old man wants to see you, so I won't go in with you."
Lu Xun didn't ask him why he wanted to see the old man. He just nodded and followed the waiter's lead.
After taking two steps, Lu Xun paused when he saw that the girl had not caught up with him: "Jiang Qiao."
Hearing the man's faint voice, Jiang Qiao finally reacted. Meeting Wang Jie's "help" gaze, she responded with a helpless look and quickly caught up with Lu Xun.
There were many people coming, and I could hear people talking and wishing each other a happy birthday. Following the waiter's lead, I came to the quiet backyard, and the voices gradually became less and less.
Jiang Qiao stopped and said to Lu Xun in confusion, "I won't go in with you. I'll just wait for you here."
Mr. Gu only said that he wanted to see Lu Xun, and it was not good for her to go there.
Lu Xun was silent for only a few seconds, then said, "Okay."
After turning a corner, the man disappeared from sight, and the smile on Jiang Qiao's face slowly faded.
The scenery of the Gu family's old house is rather quaint, with red maple leaves swaying in the breeze. Under the maple tree, there are several stone benches.
Lu Xun didn't know when he would come out. Jiang Qiao thought for a moment and chose a place that looked relatively clean to sit down. He stepped on the dead leaves on the ground out of boredom.
The sound of dead leaves creaking, coincides with the sound of footsteps on the branches behind.
Jiang Qiao tilted his head and met the man's meaningful gaze.
He didn't go to the banquet hall? Jiang Qiao frowned tightly.
Ah, I was discovered...
Jiang Chao showed a warm smile and greeted her slowly: "Ms. Jiang, long time no see."
There was a hint of sigh in his tone, as if he was really looking forward to this meeting.
Jiang Qiao hated him very much. Thinking of the plan for this afternoon, he didn't want to waste time talking to him at this moment. He retracted his gaze and said coldly, "Oh."
The perfunctory and impatience in her tone were almost completely revealed in front of him without any concealment.
The inexplicable emotion in Jiang Chao's eyes became stronger, but the warm smile on his face remained unchanged.
He approached slowly, staring at the girl without blinking.
Jiang Qiao is very beautiful today, with her long black hair tied up gracefully, and light makeup on, she still looks gorgeous. Sitting under the red maple tree, she is even more colorful and eye-catching than the red maple leaves...
But such a beautiful person is so childish. She will be very stubborn when angry, and will look gloomy when upset. When she is bored, she will subconsciously do certain repetitive actions, such as stepping on leaves...
He thought that a lively person like Jiang Qiao was really suitable to be treasured, no wonder Lu Xun could not forget her so much.
Even though he was being "reversed emotionally", he still tightly occupied Jiang Qiao and was ruthless to Song Qingying. When Jiang Chao thought of this, he couldn't help laughing.
Facing the girl's confused and disgusted gaze, Jiang Chao restrained himself a little and said innocently, "Sorry, I thought of something very funny. Miss Jiang, do you want to hear it?"
What could be so funny? It was just something immoral. Jiang Qiao said bluntly, "I don't want to hear it."
A hint of obvious disappointment flashed across Jiang Chao's face.
Jiang Qiao couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so he stood up and said coldly, "Jiang Chao, stop pretending in front of me."
"What do you mean by hypocritical?" Jiang Chao pretended to be dumb: "I don't understand, Miss Jiang, can you explain it more clearly?"
Jiang Qiao's face turned colder. After a few seconds, he saw something and raised his eyebrows, saying with disdain, "You can't even understand what people are saying. What can I say to you?"
………………
Jiang Chao always knew that she was good at talking. After hearing this, he was not angry. Instead, he smiled again and was about to continue teasing her.
A cold and indifferent male voice sounded from not far away: "Jiang Qiao, come here."
“………………………………”
Jiang Chao didn't need to turn around to look, he knew who was speaking, and the smile in his eyes faded.
Jiang Qiao agreed, stood up, and walked past Jiang Chao, curling her lips provocatively at him, her beautiful peach blossom eyes clear and bright.
The girl walked past him, and Jiang Chao's fingers on his sides curled up nervously, as if he was trying to suppress some unspeakable and inappropriate impulse.
He opened his lips and whispered something. Jiang Qiao suddenly stopped, staring at him with his eyes wide open in disbelief. His eyes were red with anger.
If she hadn't considered that it was on Gu Xing's grandfather's birthday and it would be embarrassing if things got out of hand, she would have slapped Jiang Chao in the face.
The two of them were in a stalemate, which made Lu Xun feel a little more lingering. Lu Xun's eyes were cold and his tone was icy: "Jiang Qiao, come here."
Jiang Qiao remained unmoved and continued to glare at Jiang Chao fiercely.
Jiang Chao seemed to be finally satisfied. He turned around and met the man's icy eyes. A gentle smile appeared on his face: "Mr. Lu, Miss Jiang doesn't seem to listen to you very much."
Lu Xun said coldly: "What does it have to do with you?"
Then she stopped even looking at him, stared straight at the girl, and said, "Come over here."
The man spoke in a cold tone, urging her to come over again and again, as if he was impatient.
Jiang Qiaogang had just heard such insulting words and was treated like this by Lu Xun. He suppressed his sadness and turned around and walked forward without caring about anything.
After walking a few steps, the man grabbed his wrist tightly from behind. Lu Xun frowned and said, "Jiang Qiao, why are you so mad?"
It was she who was talking to Jiang Chao, she who was disobedient, and she who was angry. Lu Xun pursed his lips tightly, and a hint of annoyance was barely noticeable between his brows.
Jiang Qiao took all of this in, and her heart felt like it was blocked by something, making her feel uncomfortable. The redness in the corners of her eyes had not yet faded, and she said stubbornly: "He just scolded me."
"…………What?"
"Lu Xun, you didn't even think about helping me." Jiang Qiao choked up and continued to accuse, "You kept being mean to me."
Lu Xun frowned: "What did he scold you for?"
Jiang Qiao turned his head away and stopped talking.
After a while, Lu Xun said, "I'm sorry."
