A familiar male voice with a slightly husky tone rang out, and Niu Fangfang subconsciously turned around, only to find that Xiang Dongcheng had arrived at some point and was now standing not far from her, looking at her with a slight smile.
Feeling that there was something else in his smiling gaze, Niu Fangfang's face flushed involuntarily.
"No...no..."
She was a little embarrassed, but in front of Xiang Dongcheng, she admitted that she was indeed envious, envious of Jiaojiao's relationship with Changzheng.
I always feel that admitting to envying others in front of your partner is somewhat like putting pressure on them. Niu Fangfang is an honest girl; she wouldn't do something like that.
Xiang Dongcheng chuckled.
Seeing that the fourth brother might need to stay with his younger siblings for a while, he stepped in first.
His gaze swept over the clerk's face, then returned to Niu Fangfang's face. He reached out and took her hand.
"What happened just now? Fourth Brother didn't explain clearly on the phone, Fang'er, can you tell me?"
A thirty-year-old man is calm, composed, and reserved, rarely showing his emotions, yet his words carry an undeniable authority.
Of course, this authority wasn't directed at Niu Fangfang.
Instead, he was watching the clerk inside who had been sitting there, secretly observing him.
Niu Fangfang couldn't imitate Lu Huaijiao's soft, coquettish way of complaining. But she still used her usual tone and spoke quickly as she recounted the story.
Xiang Dongcheng's expression darkened slightly after hearing this.
"The Zhao family..."
He pressed his tongue against his back teeth, murmuring the three words with great interest. It was just ordinary speech, but the way he spoke it carried a different flavor.
The Zhao family, whom the clerk was somewhat wary of, was like a toy to be kneaded at will in Xiang Dongcheng's mouth.
Niu Fangfang knew that the man was somewhat powerful, but she also knew that he was now doing business with Brother Changzheng and was no longer involved with him.
So she didn't want him to go back to his old ways because of her.
"Brother Dong..."
Niu Fangfang grabbed Xiang Dongcheng's hand: "I'm fine."
The once fearless and fiery girl now chooses to swallow the grievances brought on by Zhao Lei because she is worried about her boyfriend.
This made Xiang Dongcheng feel very sorry for him.
He reached out and touched her hair: "Don't worry, I'm a good person now."
After saying that, he seemed to realize that his statement was somewhat ambiguous, so he immediately added, "Of course, he was a good person before, just not obviously so."
Niu Fangfang, who was originally worried about him, couldn't help but burst out laughing. Then, as if she had been tickled, she held her stomach and laughed non-stop.
Perhaps Xiang Dongcheng also felt that his later addition was a bit exaggerated? He reached out and touched his buzz cut, looking somewhat embarrassed.
He used to be a really good person, just not obviously so. That's the truth, why doesn't his girlfriend believe it?
On the other hand, he seemed a little embarrassed?
Hmm, is that a slight exaggeration?
Absolutely not!
Just as Xiang Dongcheng was thinking about how to ease the tension, Gu Changzheng finally finished listening to his precious wife's complaint. He pinched her puffed-up cheeks.
"Don't be sad, your husband will take care of it."
"Um?"
Lu Huaijiao blinked, curious about his solution.
"Should we beat him up? Break his legs?"
Amused by her suggestion, Gu Changzheng smiled but didn't say anything. He took her hand, called Xiang Dongcheng, and headed straight for Zhao Lei's department.
While it's not appropriate to actually break someone's leg in broad daylight, a slight warning wouldn't hurt.
Lu Huaijiao followed Gu Changzheng around like a puppy, seemingly enjoying the spectacle. This made Niu Fangfang, who was standing to the side, wonder if Jiaojiao was really older than her.
Why does she always seem like a child who never grows up in front of Brother Changzheng?
But then again, if she could, she'd like to stay a child forever...
(Xiang Dongcheng: ??? A child? That's great, he likes him very much!)
A large group of people arrived at the classroom where Zhao Lei was having class.
Yes, a group of people.
Besides Lu Huaijiao and Gu Changzheng and his group who came to support her, there were also many onlookers following behind.
Most of them were classmates at this school, so naturally they had all heard about Zhao Lei's pursuit of Lu Huaijiao.
This young master Zhao pursued Lu Huaijiao relentlessly even after he knew she was married.
Many people found this devotion quite touching, while others thought Zhao Lei was probably sick, and seriously so.
Even if the girl is already married, she made her attitude clear from the beginning and never gave Zhao Lei a hint. Zhao Lei should have backed down. That's the behavior of a proper gentleman.
But not only did he not back down, he even persisted, popping up every now and then to make his presence known. I don't know where he got the audacity.
Gu Changzheng didn't come looking for Zhao Lei before, probably because neither he nor his wife took him seriously. Now that he's come looking for him, the outcome is hard to predict.
Sure enough, after they followed Gu Changzheng and the others to the classroom where Zhao Lei was having class, Gu Changzheng squeezed the small hand wrapped in his palm, then released it in a moment, and strode towards the classroom with his long legs.
"Excuse me, could you please let Zhao Lei come out and say a few words?"
Gu Changzheng stood at the door, his handsome features framed by a slight smile on his thin lips.
That smile, however, was cold and distant, completely detached from his eyes.
The weather was still cold, even quite frigid, but the man was only wearing a shirt, a wool sweater, and a wool overcoat.
The long black wool coat worn by Lu Huaijiao, who was just a few steps away, was designed by the same designer.
It's obvious at a glance that they're the same style, a couple's style for men and women.
The two people wearing this outfit, whether man or woman, are both very good-looking and have a very compatible aura, as if they were a match made in heaven.
Looking at Zhao Lei, who was forced to come out from inside under everyone's gaze, he was far inferior to Gu Changzheng, who was standing at the door, in terms of physique, appearance, and aura.
Some classmates knew that Gu Changzheng studied at a vocational high school.
Logically speaking, vocational school students should lack presence and be timid in front of these proper college students.
But when Zhao Lei compared himself to Gu Changzheng, he realized that Gu Changzheng was like a god on a high mountain, while Zhao Lei was just a tiny, insignificant ant in the human world.
If Gu Changzheng wanted to, he could crush him with a wave of his hand.
That aura is just too overwhelming!
"You...you're looking for me...what do you want?"
