Chapter 389: Jiang Yuxu x Gui Qing "Unfamiliarity"
389. Jiang Yuxu x Gui Qing Extra "Unfamiliarity"
In the Hengan Law Firm office, half past five.
Jiang Yuxu, who was looking through the case files, was interrupted by the alarm clock. He took off his glasses and put them aside, pinched his eyebrows, and turned off the alarm clock.
Tonight is a banquet arranged by the Fu family, starting at six o'clock, and he needs to attend on time.
This was also the first time that the two families had dinner together after Fu Xijing and Song Yi officially got together.
Third uncle Jiang Jiang specially called his cousin to join him.
After reading materials for an entire afternoon, Jiang Yuxu's eyes felt a little dry. He opened the drawer and put a few drops of eye drops in. After a few minutes, he put on his glasses and set off.
The hotel was near the Third Ring Road, not far from the law firm. Jiang Yuxu happened to meet Song Yi and Fu Xijing when he parked his car, and accompanied them until they met several elders.
When they entered the elevator and went upstairs, Song Yi noticed that Jiang Yuxu's eyes were a little red, so he asked him, "Have you had a lot of cases recently?"
Jiang Yuxu: "There is a lot of information on Shen's case, so it won't be a problem if you spend a little time on it."
Song Yi: "Don't work too hard, make sure to rest."
Jiang Yuxu nodded, "Don't worry."
As the brother and sister were talking about this, the elevator stopped. Jiang Yuxu saw Fu Xijing diligently pushing Jiang Jiang's wheelchair out. He glanced at Song Yi and said in a low voice, "It seems that he performed well."
Song Yi laughed along, "It's more than just okay, it's like he's been completely transformed."
There was a strong filter in these words, and it could be heard that the two of them were getting along quite happily. However, considering Fu Xijing's previous suicidal behavior, Jiang Yuxu still reminded Song Yi: "Don't spoil him too much."
"Brother Xu, don't worry. I know what to do." Song Yi nodded, letting him rest assured.
Jiang Yuxu moved his lips and was about to say the next sentence when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye.
He paused for breath and immediately turned his gaze away——
"Yuxu, what a coincidence." The person who spoke was not the familiar figure, but the person next to her, "Are you here to eat too?"
Jiang Yuxu lowered his eyes and his gaze fell on the arms of the man and woman in front of him.
A very intimate gesture.
Jiang Yuxu's eyes darkened behind his glasses, his face expressionless as he nodded slightly: "With my family."
Song Yi stood beside Jiang Yuxu, looking at the man and woman opposite, a look of surprise flashed across his face.
In order to prevent her elders from noticing anything unusual, she quickly adjusted herself.
Song Yi unconsciously looked at Gui Qing and the man beside her——
The embarrassing thing was that when she looked over, her eyes met Gui Qing's. The other party did not show any abnormality and even smiled at her generously.
He seems to be in a good mood.
Finally, Jiang Jiang asked, "Yu Xu, who are these two?"
"Old classmates." Jiang Yuxu withdrew his gaze from the man and woman and introduced their identities lightly.
As he spoke, his peripheral vision unconsciously swept towards the figure again.
But her attention was not on him, she was just fiddling with her hair, and seemed to want to end this encounter.
Cheng Mi probably saw through her thoughts, so he hugged her and said with a smile, "Okay, then you guys eat first, and we won't disturb you. Yu Xu, we'll get together another day."
Jiang Yuxu nodded.
Then Cheng Mi took Gui Qing's arm and left.
Jiang Yuxu and the two families came into the box and sat down. Their faces were calm, but their attention was unconsciously drifting far away.
The scene just now kept replaying in my mind, and a faint sense of irritation rose in my chest.
Jiang Yuxu picked up the teacup in front of him and drank all the water in it.
——
In the open restaurant, Gui Qing and Cheng Mi sat at a window seat.
After ordering, Cheng Mi took the initiative to chat with Gui Qing: "Do you remember Yu Xu? He played with us a few times in LA before."
Gui Qing nodded, curling her lips nonchalantly, "Hmm."
Cheng Mi: "He's quite powerful now. You know Heng'an Law Firm, right? He—"
"I know." Gui Qing interrupted Cheng Mi and smiled at him with her head tilted. "I forgot to tell you that our property rights law firm in North City is Heng'an."
Cheng Mi was stunned for a moment. Doesn’t that mean that she often works in Hengan now?
Gui Qing saw his expression and couldn't help laughing: "Are you so surprised?"
Cheng Mi: "I haven't heard you say that before."
Gui Qing: "What's there to say about this?"
Cheng Mi: "Your company is so close to Hengan, so you and Yuxu should be quite familiar with each other. I didn't see you talking just now."
Gui Qing took a sip of red wine and shrugged, "It's just a work relationship, we're not familiar with each other personally."
"That's right," Cheng Mi nodded, "He has a cold personality. His family is very strict and he has a strong sense of propriety."
As Jiang Yuxu's roommate and classmate at the time, Cheng Mi has a deep understanding of these points.
Jiang Yuxu was very polite to others. He would reply when others spoke to him, but that was all he did. I had never seen him be particularly enthusiastic towards anyone, nor had I seen him take the initiative to talk to anyone.
Cheng Mi was the one who had the closest relationship with Jiang Yuxu among his classmates, purely because they were roommates.
At that time, the school dormitory was a double room, and Jiang Yuxu rarely went out to play. Cheng Mi would talk to him as soon as he came back, and ask him some questions from time to time, so he became his good friend and also got to know a little about his family situation.
Cheng Mi was surprised when she first learned about Jiang Yuxu's family background. It was really unfair that someone with such a background could study so hard.
"Really?" Gui Qing listened to Cheng Mi talking about Jiang Yuxu with little interest, even a little impatient, which was very different from her usual cheerful and cheerful state.
Cheng Mi carefully noticed that something was wrong with Gui Qing. Out of curiosity, he asked tentatively, "You don't seem to like him that much?"
"Not really." Gui Qing put down the wine glass, "Not as much as you like."
Cheng Mi: “?”
Gui Qing: "You asked me out for dinner and kept talking to me about him. Do you have a crush on him?"
Cheng Mi was choked: "..."
Why did he feel that Gui Qing was speaking in a rather aggressive manner today?
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about him anymore." Cheng Mi quickly waved his hand and changed the subject. "Going to play tennis tomorrow? I've already made an appointment."
——
The next day was Saturday.
Jiang Yuxu didn't sleep much that night, and his total sleep time was less than two hours.
But at six o'clock, his biological clock still drove him out of bed on time.
Jiang Yuxu took a shower to wake up, went to the kitchen to pour a glass of milk and took two slices of bread for breakfast, and simply filled his stomach.
It was a rare Saturday off, but he had no mood for entertainment.
The words Song Yi said to him in the car last night were still fresh in his mind. He thought about it all night but couldn't come up with any solution.
Without an answer, you can only do other things to divert your attention.
Jiang Yuxu turned on the computer and continued to look at Shen's case.
I had just opened the document and browsed a few lines when my phone vibrated.
Jiang Yuxu picked up his phone and saw the name on the screen. His originally sharp expression softened a little.
He pressed the answer button and put the phone to his ear.
Then, a lively and smart voice rang out: "Cousin, take me to play tennis!"
