Chapter 431 Yin and Yang
Jiang Yuxu didn't expect Gui Qing to be so accurate in her guess, which made him even more embarrassed. However, he still nodded, "I was inappropriate in this matter, whether it was my initial prejudice or the fact that I hired someone to follow you later—so I'm here to apologize. Can you please not be angry?"
When he asked so cautiously, he sounded more like an elementary school student.
Gui put down the coffee in her hand and looked at him with a half-smile: "Jiang Lu, I still like your unruly look."
Jiang Yuxu: "..."
"Jiang Lu, who used to be so indifferent, suddenly apologizes to me. Honestly, I'm not used to it." Gui Qing shrugged. "How can I be so worthy of this?"
"Besides, Lawyer Jiang misunderstood me, isn't it because I have a long criminal record and have always been too frivolous? I should reflect more on my own reasons and not dare to be angry with Lawyer Jiang, right?" Gui Qing spoke slowly, bringing out the sarcasm to the extreme.
Jiang Yuxu was not good at verbal confrontations in life, and he had no idea what to do when facing Gui Qing. She said so much at once that he was stunned for a long time and didn't know how to respond.
Gui Qing folded her arms across her chest, observing Jiang Yuxu's speechless expression. She asked again, "Isn't Lawyer Jiang always invincible in court? Why is he speechless now?"
Jiang Yuxu: "We are not in court now."
We use aggressive language in court because that is our job and the person on the other side is our competitor.
But she was the one he liked, and even if he had never been in love and was slow-witted, he couldn't fail to tell the difference.
Gui Qing didn't like him very much in the first place. If he continued to treat her in this way, he would be asking for trouble.
Gui Qing: "Oh, it seems Jiang Lu is giving me face. Thank you."
Jiang Yuxu: "..."
He was really speechless because of her attitude, as if everything he said was wrong. After holding it in for a long time, Jiang Yuxu coughed and asked with a stiff upper lip, "Are you still angry?"
Gui Qing: "Why am I angry?"
Jiang Yuxu: "I misunderstood you and your... mother's husband."
He originally wanted to say "stepfather", but when he thought of Xie Yuan's age, he couldn't even say these two words - to be honest, he was not making excuses for himself, but normal people would subconsciously think that Gui Qing and Xie Yuan were in a relationship when they saw them together, and no one would guess that Xie Yuan was her stepfather.
Gui Qing rolled her eyes at Jiang Yuxu's punctuation: "Are you scolding me?"
Jiang Yuxu then realized that his previous sentence was ambiguous: "...No."
How could he possibly scold her? He had never said a single uncivilized curse word in his entire life.
Jiang Yuxu quickly explained to her: "I just don't know how to call him. Calling him your stepfather is a bit strange."
Gui Qing was amused by his submissive, well-behaved and pitiful appearance.
But she only smiled briefly and then stopped, not giving him a very good look - although she was in a very good mood.
Training a man is a big topic. It requires not only skills but also patience. You can't take the relationship to the next level as soon as you see him perform well.
It was the first time that Jiang Yuxu acted so well-behaved and humble in front of her. His cautious look was really enjoyable.
"Have you finished your apology?" Gui Qing glanced at her phone screen. "It's almost nine o'clock. I have to go to work. Lawyer Jiang should also get back to work. I heard that your court hearing is about to begin. Don't let it interfere with your work."
Jiang Yuxu: "You haven't given me an answer yet."
Gui Qing: "I accept your apology, but you've misunderstood me for so long. You can't just apologize and expect me to let it go immediately, right?"
Jiang Yuxu: "...I didn't mean that."
"That's all." Gui Qing made a "please" gesture, signaling him to leave.
Jiang Yuxu: "Want to play tennis together on Saturday?"
Gui Qing: "Sorry, I have an appointment with a friend on Saturday."
…
When Jiang Yuxu came out of Gui Qing's office, he ran into several colleagues in the corridor.
Jiang Yuxu himself remained relatively calm. After nodding and greeting his colleagues, he walked towards his office.
Several colleagues gathered behind me and chirped crickets.
"Have you noticed that Jiang Lu and Qing Gong seem to be acting strangely lately?"
"Take away the 'seemingly'. I've seen Jiang Lu and Qing Gong take the elevator together more than once."
"It's just an elevator ride, aren't you overthinking it?"
"How can you call this overthinking? Qing Gong has been at the law firm for almost two years. When have you ever seen her and Lawyer Jiang in the elevator alone?"
"That's right, Lawyer Jiang has never been to Qinggong's office before!"
"Tsk, I saw Jiang Lu buying breakfast at the cafe downstairs today. Do you think it was for Qing Gong?"
"That's unlikely..."
"That's easy. Just go to Qinggong's office and take a look." The person who said this was Lin Di, a member of Guiqing's work team and one of her closest colleagues in NV.
Lin Di had previously felt that Gui Qing treated Jiang Yuxu a little differently, but Jiang Yuxu was so aloof and only cared about talking about work. It seemed that he was indifferent to Gui Qing, an outstanding person of the opposite sex with both beauty and intelligence.
Is it possible that the iron tree is blooming now?
Lin Di knocked on the door and entered Gui Qing's office.
When he pushed the door open, Gui Qing was drinking coffee. Lin Di saw the thermos bag next to it and immediately recognized the logo of the coffee shop.
...Did that colleague really come true?
Jiang Yuxu usually invites his colleagues to have coffee, but I have never seen him bring coffee to anyone alone.
"What's the matter?" Gui Qing asked her a question when Lin Di was surprised.
Lin Di came back to his senses and chatted with Gui Qing for a while about something related to work.
After the conversation, Lindy glanced at the thermos bag on the desk and asked casually, "Qinggong, you haven't had breakfast yet?"
Gui Qing: "I've eaten."
Lindy: "Then this——"
"Someone gave it to me." Gui Qing replied casually.
Lindy: "Others? Which colleague is so considerate?"
Gui Qing: "Which colleague is so gossipy?"
She raised her eyes and glanced at Lindy, "Go and do your work."
Lindy laughed and left.
After coming out of Gui Qing's office, Lin Di casually said a few words to several colleagues who had just gathered together to play crickets, and then returned to his workstation.
All I could think about was Gui Qing and Jiang Yuxu.
I'm really anxious and want to know what's going on with these two people——
Jiang Lu brought breakfast to Qing Gong. Was he pursuing her? When did he fall in love with Qing Gong? Why did he suddenly pursue her?
Who will give her an answer?
——
Jiang Yuxu had no idea that he had become the center of gossip.
After returning to the office, he did not work immediately, but took out his mobile phone to contact Tao Jiu.
Jiang Yuxu: [Excuse me, did she go out with you on Saturday?]
Gui Qing just said that she had made an appointment with a good friend. As far as he knew, this was her only good friend in North City.
Zhan Mo is still very reliable in this matter. He is right. With Tao Jiu's addition, many things have become convenient.
