Chapter 125
At the dining table, following Gu Xing's gaze, everyone looked at the man with a calm expression.
Even Jiang Qiao who was standing beside him felt an unprecedented sense of oppression.
What will Lu Xun do?
Jiang Qiao is not actually a person who cares about what others think, but at this moment, she really wants to know how Lu Xun will answer.
Lu Xun, who was being watched by everyone, raised his eyelids. In his peripheral vision, he saw the girl's fingers clenched subconsciously, which was a sign of nervousness and anxiety.
Lu Xun was silent for two seconds, then said “hmm” indifferently.
The girl's clenched fingers suddenly loosened and then curled up slightly.
The big guys looked at each other, smiled and quickly changed the subject, tentatively asking Guonan if there were any projects he wanted to get involved in recently, beating around the bush and talking about some random things.
Jiang Qiao could hear it all, and the translation meant: Mr. Lu, if there are any profitable projects recently, let's cooperate together. We have money and are willing to invest, but it's better to split the profits in half. We can't let Guonan take all the benefits, which is not conducive to the long-term development of the company~
A veiled threat. No matter how powerful Guonan is, it is just a company. It is better not to be too arrogant.
However, Lu Xun acted as if he didn't hear anything. He was distant and cold, and replied with a few words.
He is like an iron wall, making it impossible to find a way to break through.
Everyone was hurt by the cold words and turned their attention to today's "protagonist" Gu Xing.
Lu Xun is a deep-minded person who is not easy to talk to. This guy is different. He looks like a fool who is a little clever.
However, they misread it again. Gu Xing talked about all sorts of nonsense but he just didn't fall for their verbal traps!
Jiang Qiao ate the whole meal from beginning to end. At the end, he licked his swollen lips and said with admiration that the boiled beef made by the chef was excellent.
Suddenly, the man's warm fingertips pressed on her lips. Jiang Qiao was startled and looked up in confusion: "What's wrong?"
People were walking out of the lively banquet hall one after another. The girl raised her face with a confident look on her face. Her lips were swollen and red, almost to the edge of her lips.
It looks very...glutinous and elastic.
The two of them stayed there for too long, and some people were already looking over here. Lu Xun withdrew his hand expressionlessly: "It's okay, I thought it was chili oil."
Jiang Qiao: “………………………”
You are so humorous.
Less than an hour after returning from the Gu family's old house, Lu Xun simply packed the clothes and documents he needed to take with him on his business trip.
Jiang Qiao sat by the bed and watched him pack. Seeing that he didn't bring many clothes, he breathed a sigh of relief. He was a little unhappy: "Didn't you say you would go on a business trip tomorrow? Why are you leaving tonight......"
"I made a last-minute dinner appointment." Lu Xun explained calmly.
Wang Jie was waiting outside. Jiang Qiao followed the man out closely and said eagerly, "Lu Xun, let me take you to the airport..."
Lu Xun paused as he opened the car door. At that moment, Jiang Qiao almost thought he was about to turn around and say something.
However, the man just turned to her, his handsome and cold eyebrows slightly lowered: "No need."
Jiang Qiao felt a little lost.
The man seemed to have just realized how perfunctory and cold his tone was, and stiffly added a few words: "Go back, it's cold outside."
Jiang Qiao shook his head, was silent for a while, and said: "I'll watch you go."
Lu Xun was silent for a while and opened the car door.
The black Maybach started slowly and soon disappeared from sight. Jiang Qiao slowly withdrew his gaze, stood there for a long time, pulled his beige cardigan closer, and walked into the villa.
On the road, the vehicle was moving steadily.
The car was completely silent, almost eerie in its silence.
Wang Jie looked at his nose and his heart, not knowing what to say.
In the rearview mirror, the girl's figure gradually faded until she disappeared. Only then did Lu Xun slowly withdraw his gaze from the rearview mirror.
Wang Jie couldn't help but said, "In fact, I think that if you tell Miss Jiang about this, she will definitely not leave you. Instead, she will accompany you to Country M. Why do you have to bear it alone? Is it really okay for you to hide it from Miss Jiang?"
A few days ago, Lu Xun suddenly asked him to look up some "emotion reversal" drugs.
Wang Jie was very surprised at the time that there was such a strange medicine in the world.
Then he thought, why did Lu Xun suddenly ask him to check this? When he thought of some answers, he felt cold all over.
Lu Xun fell into the trap. Wang Jie confirmed this answer based on his observations over the past few days.
The reason for this "business trip" to Country M is because there is a top pharmaceutical research institute there. I heard that they are currently researching psychiatric drugs and may find some clues.
The air was quiet and silent for a long time. When Wang Jie thought the man would not answer, Lu Xun slowly said, "What can I say? She will be worried."
Emotional reversal? The more I love, the stranger I feel? It's not that I don't love you, it's that I can't love you, I don't know how to love you, how ironic, how absurd...
Who would believe it?
Even if you believe it, it will only add to your sadness and worry and will be meaningless.
No one could help him, not even Jiang Qiao.
“…………………………”
There was no emotion in the man's voice, but it made people feel inexplicably sad and powerless.
Wang Jie was two years older than him, but he didn't know how to persuade him.
Lu Xun looked like him when he first met him.
Silent, indifferent, cold and mechanical like a perfect machine.
Obviously... I will be happy soon.
The weather in City A changes quickly. The leaves of the sycamore trees turn yellow in late autumn and fall to the ground in circles. In the night, a villa stands quietly.
No one has lived there for years, and the yard is full of dead leaves and branches. Some weeds have grown in the cracks of the soil near the wall.
It hadn't been sold yet. She thought it had been auctioned off by the bank. If Ye Qingqing hadn't mentioned it by chance, she would have almost forgotten about it.
Jiang Qiao looked at the villa and couldn't describe the feeling in his heart.
Her emotions were not strong enough, just as Lu Xun commented, she was a little heartless.
However, after living here for more than two years, it is impossible to say that she has no feelings. There is only one thing, just like her feelings towards the "Jiang Father and Jiang Mother" in this world.
From the beginning, she only saw herself as a tasker. In her eyes, everything in this world was just a passerby, an NPC who cooperated with her to carry out the task.
In addition, Jiang's father and mother rarely appeared in front of her, which made her feel even more indifferent about their "parents".
So, when Jiang's mother died in the end, she just felt regretful and hated Jiang's father who absconded with the money from the bottom of her heart.
Two bodyguards were standing guard at the door, their black clothes blending in with the night. When they saw her coming, they bowed their heads and said respectfully, "Ms. Jiang, the person is inside."
Jiang Qiao nodded: "Thank you, the balance will be transferred to your account later."
"Thank you, Miss Jiang."
The list of thanks will be presented tomorrow~
