Chapter 398 Why did you come back so late?
To be honest, Jiang Yuxu really didn't remember Xu Yeqing very well. If she hadn't introduced herself and he hadn't seen her face, he would have had no impression of her at all.
Jiang Yuxu was indeed pursued by many people when he was in school, but he never met anyone he was attracted to. At that time, he was fully focused on studying, and it was normal for him not to remember the appearance of the opposite sex.
He has no interest in studying whether a member of the opposite sex is beautiful or not, and it has nothing to do with him.
Just like when he first met Gui Qing at the law firm, he had no memory of her. It was only when she told him where she had seen her that he remembered her.
Zheng Liling was right. There was a reason why he had been single for so many years.
But he really didn't have any thoughts about the opposite sex at all. He even confidently thought that he could stay like this for the rest of his life.
until--
"Senior, let's go over there and talk?" Xu Yeqing's voice interrupted Jiang Yuxu's thoughts.
As she spoke, her hand was still on his forearm, but the force was not strong.
Jiang Yuxu sensed this, glanced down, and was about to raise his hand to brush her away when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure out of the corner of his eye.
Jiang Yuxu immediately looked towards the figure.
They were Gui Qing and a manager from NV Haicheng branch. No one knew when they came.
The manager saw Jiang Yuxu looking over and asked with a smile, "Jiang Lu, do you know Miss Xu?"
Jiang Yuxu nodded.
Xu Yeqing said to the manager, "Lawyer Jiang is my senior. We graduated from the same school."
Manager: “That’s a great coincidence.”
Xu Yeqing: "Yeah, I didn't expect that senior also has cooperation with your company."
Manager: "Lawyer Jiang is working with the North City branch, on a project for our Qinggong Development Center."
The manager naturally mentioned Gui Qing and introduced Xu Yeqing and Gui Qing to each other. "Engineer Qing, this is Xu Yeqing, a colleague from DC Technology. We have a technical partnership."
"Hello, Mr. Qing." Xu Yeqing smiled and extended his hand towards Gui Qing.
Gui Qing glanced down, gave her a polite smile, and briefly shook her hand. "Hello."
Xu Yeqing.
Senior.
After hearing these two key words and combining them with his colleague's introduction, Gui Qing immediately guessed the other party's identity - he was really impatient.
"You guys chat, I'll go over there and take a look." Gui Qing shook hands with Xu Yeqing and left.
Jiang Yuxu looked at her back, his eyes behind the lenses showing a complicated look.
…
Xu Yeqing hadn't seen Jiang Yuxu for many years and was very enthusiastic and proactive towards him.
The two of them came to the drinks counter. Xu Yeqing wanted to have a drink with him, but Jiang Yuxu stopped him: "Drink juice, it's safe."
Jiang Yuxu has good living habits. He doesn't smoke and rarely drinks.
Even if you drink, it's just a small amount and you won't drink to the point of losing consciousness.
One of his major principles in life is to know when to stop and never to overdo it. He will not allow himself to become addicted or obsessed with anything.
But Xu Yeqing didn't know this.
She understood Jiang Yuxu's brief "safety" as concern for her.
Xu Yeqing gave a well-behaved smile, nodded, and switched to juice.
She clinked glasses with Jiang Yuxu, took a sip of juice, and took the initiative to ask about his movements in recent years: "Have you been in North City since graduation?"
Jiang Yuxu: "Yes."
Xu Yeqing: "I've heard of your law firm. You've achieved this in just a few years. That's impressive."
Jiang Yuxu: "Thank you."
Xu Yeqing: "I heard from Senior Cheng that you haven't had a girlfriend in all these years - but you're so outstanding, so you must have a lot of people pursuing you, right?"
Jiang Yuxu: "Busy with work."
Each of his responses was very stiff. It seemed like he was responding, but it gave people a sense of distance.
Although they were standing face to face, Xu Yeqing felt as if there was an invisible wall between them.
Although Jiang Yuxu did not ignore her, he only maintained basic social courtesy. She was the one who initiated the topic, and he did not seem to want to have a too in-depth communication with her.
Realizing this, Xu Yeqing felt a little disappointed, but she quickly convinced herself and cheered up to continue chatting with Jiang Yuxu.
Jiang Yuxu drank the juice in the cup in small sips.
He reluctantly chatted with Xu Yeqing for a while, and when he was about to put down his cup and leave, Gui Qing suddenly came over.
Jiang Yuxu stopped and looked up at the person opposite him.
Gui Qing took a glass of juice, and after their eyes met, she once again ignored him.
Jiang Yuxu's hands at his side tightened slightly.
At this moment, Xu Yeqing, who was standing beside him, invited him: "Senior, are you free tomorrow? Let's go have dinner together."
"Okay." Jiang Yuxu agreed without hesitation.
He was talking to Xu Yeqing, but his eyes unconsciously looked at Gui Qing opposite him.
Gui Qing didn't react much. She drank the juice and left.
Jiang Yuxu clenched his fists and stared at the direction she left, not coming back to his senses for a long time.
Xu Yeqing saw the clue this time. She looked at Gui Qing's back and tentatively asked Jiang Yuxu, "Senior, do you have something to say to Qing Gong?"
Jiang Yuxu came back to his senses: "Oh, I suddenly remembered a few work arrangements, but there's no rush."
"It's a rare opportunity to relax, so let's not talk about work." Xu Yeqing said with a smile, "You're still the same as before. When you were studying, you were all focused on studying, and now you're all focused on work."
He said this as if they were very familiar with each other.
Jiang Yuxu found it strange, but due to his upbringing, he did not directly refute Xu Yeqing.
——
It wasn't too late when the party ended. At 9:30, Haicheng's nightlife was at its most lively.
However, Jiang Yuxu has never had a nightlife, so he returned to the hotel after the show.
After arriving at the hotel and going upstairs, Jiang Yuxu subconsciously looked towards the door opposite.
Gui Qing didn't come back.
Just now in the lobby, he saw several colleagues who had accompanied her on the business trip, and they had all returned.
Where did she go?
Jiang Yuxu frowned slightly, and subconsciously reached into his suit pocket to touch his cell phone.
But the next second, the words Gui Qing said to him yesterday and the chat with Cheng Mi in the morning echoed in his ears again.
Now Cheng Mi and Gui Qing have reconciled.
Gui Qing was right, he had no right to ask about her private life.
Jiang Yuxu calmly swiped the room card, walked in, and went straight to the bathroom to take a shower.
I thought that taking a shower would help me clear out the messy thoughts in my mind, but it had little effect.
Jiang Yuxu stood at the door and paced back and forth. Whenever he heard any noise outside, he couldn't help but open the door to see.
This behavior continued until eleven o'clock.
When Jiang Yuxu opened the door again, he finally saw Gui Qing.
At that time, she had just stopped at the opposite door and was rummaging through her bag for the room card, and had not had time to turn around.
Perhaps she heard the sound of the door opening, and Gui Qing gave her a rare look.
Jiang Yuxu didn't have time to think before asking, "Why are you back so late?"
Gui Qing ignored him, turned around, swiped the room card, and closed the door with a bang.
The noise made by closing the door was so loud that even a fool could feel the displeasure she was emitting.
Jiang Yuxu's expression turned a little ugly - just because of the question he asked just now?
