Chapter 185 She just looks obedient
Jiang Xuxu couldn't see what was happening downstairs, but she could clearly feel the moment of awkwardness and silence in the air downstairs after Chu Beihe said this.
But it was only for a moment.
Lu Xuexi changed her words without hesitation, her tone still the same,
"Sorry, Mr. Chu, I just heard Xiao Su call you that, I won't do it again."
Then she asked, "Mr. Chu, is Xuxu here with you?"
Chu Beihe just said, "I asked her to help with some things, I will have someone send her back later."
Hearing this, Lu Xuexi immediately showed just the right amount of curiosity, and naturally replied,
"Mr. Chu asked Xuxu for help? Mr. Chu also believes in Feng Shui?"
Jiang Xuxu stood at the stairs, wondering if Lu Xuexi was planning to talk to her until she came out?
If so, she really couldn't hide.
After all, the boss didn't like to socialize with people at first glance.
However, before she could go downstairs, she heard Chu Beihe speak again, but he did not answer the question from Lu Xuexi. He simply said,
"Miss Lu, if you have nothing else to do, you can go back first."
After that, without even looking at Lu Xuexi's reaction, he stood up and said,
"Jiang Xuxu is safe here with me. If Jiang Huai is worried, you can ask him to call me."
The implication was that Jiang Huai, his biological brother, did not even come to visit, so it was inappropriate for you, a distant relative of the Jiang family, to come over to look for him.
Although Lu Xuexi had known for a long time that Chu Beihe was not easy to conquer, she did not expect that this man was even harder to conquer than before. At least in the past, when the two families occasionally met and contacted, he would not speak so bluntly and shut up all her words right away...
Feeling depressed, Lu Xuexi still maintained a gentle and generous appearance on the surface, and stood up.
"Don't get me wrong, the family is definitely not worried about you. I just came to ask. Since the person is here, I feel relieved. Then I will go back first."
Lu Xuexi said politely and appropriately, and did not linger. She turned around and followed the housekeeper out of the villa gate.
Chu Beihe saw people leaving and ignored them. He raised his legs and was about to go upstairs when he saw Jiang Xuxu at the corner of the stairs.
And it was obvious that he had been standing there for a while. With
his eyebrows slightly raised, he asked,
"Since you're awake, why don't you go back with me?"
Jiang Xuxu felt relieved when he heard that he didn't mean to expel her. She didn't hide it and said,
"I don't want to go back with her."
Although she and Lu Xuexi had not had a direct conflict since she returned to the Jiang family, Jiang Han, Jiang Cheng, and even Jiang Su in the early days had been against her. She didn't believe that Lu Xuexi hadn't instigated her.
So in front of Chu Beihe, Jiang Xuxu didn't have the slightest intention of hiding the fact that she and Lu Xuexi had a bad relationship.
Chu Beihe seemed to think that there was nothing wrong with her attitude.
Nodding, "Then wait a little longer, eat something, and I'll have someone take you back later."
Jiang Xuxu wanted to refuse, but she was really hungry, so she followed Chu Beihe to the restaurant.
There were a lot of food on the table, obviously for dinner.
It was almost eight o'clock now, so it wasn't too late to call it dinner.
When Chu Beihe took Jiang Xuxu over, the aunt in charge of the kitchen had quickly removed the lid of the food on the table. The moment it was removed, there was steam coming out of it, and it was obvious that it had been kept warm underneath.
Chu Beihe didn't explain why he asked someone to heat up the food, he just raised his hand and motioned her to sit down and eat.
Even if there were bowls, plates and chopsticks specially for guests at home, Chu Beihe didn't like to have people eat at home.
Even Jiang Huai had rarely eaten at the Chu family.
It was even more impossible for others.
So tonight, when Chu Beihe specially asked the housekeeper to heat up the food and wait for everyone to go downstairs to eat together, the housekeeper and the chef in charge of cooking at home were obviously a little surprised, but because of Chu Beihe's temper, they did not dare to ask more.
Jiang Xuxu didn't know the meaning of this. Seeing that the food was ready, she sat down to eat without hesitation.
After this afternoon's trouble, she consumed a lot of spiritual power, and she really needed to replenish some energy.
Although she was very hungry, Jiang Xuxu's eating rules were also very good. She ate one bite at a time, chewed slowly, and there was no sound of the bowl and chopsticks colliding in the middle.
Chu Beihe, who also ate quietly, said that he was a little satisfied.
A big part of the reason why he doesn't like to eat with others is because he doesn't like people making noises to disturb him while he's eating.
Even if he attends a dinner party, he only eats and doesn't talk about things.
After all, in his opinion, talking about things must be done in a proper setting.
The meal was quiet and peaceful. It was n't
until Jiang Xuxu finished her meal and thanked Chu Beihe that Jiang Xuxu returned to the Jiang family under the personal escort of the housekeeper.
When the housekeeper came back from the Jiang family, he saw Chu Beihe sitting in the living room reading the news. After thinking about it, he couldn't help but ask,
"Young Master, why don't you personally send Miss Jiang home?"
The two families were not far apart. After dinner, they walked back with others. There were all kinds of decorative lights on the road. How romantic.
Chu Beihe obviously didn't get the housekeeper's point. He turned his head and asked, "What did Jiang Xuxu say to you?"
"..." The housekeeper was helpless. "No, Miss Jiang is quiet and well-behaved. She even thanked me when I left."
Chu Beihe's ears moved slightly when he heard the housekeeper's evaluation of her. When he looked at the housekeeper, his black eyes were a little bit smiling.
After a while, he just said,
"You may have seen it wrong."
That person is not well-behaved. She
just looks well-behaved.
Thinking of Jiang Xuxu's sharp and serious look when facing those evil creatures, Chu Beihe felt that the housekeeper's evaluation was humorous.
Without continuing to discuss this topic, Chu Beihe got up and went upstairs.
But when he returned to the study and looked at the study room which had not changed at all from the daytime, he could still remember the bright eyes when she talked about the spiritual energy that he had absorbed and refined.
For some unknown reason, he took out his cell phone and sent her a message.
…
On the other side, Jiang Xuxu had just walked in when she saw Lu Xuexi coming over, still with a gentle and caring look on her face,
“Xuxu, you’re back. I just went to Chu’s house to look for you, but I didn’t see you. I thought you were gone somewhere.”
“Yeah.” Jiang Xuxu replied vaguely, with no intention of talking to her.
If it were before, Lu Xuexi would have smiled and let her go when she didn’t talk to him, but today she pretended not to notice the perfunctory look on Jiang Xuxu’s face, and asked herself,
“I didn’t believe it when Brother Han told me. Xuxu, when did you become so familiar with Brother Beihe?”
The word “also” sounded very subtle, and with the word Brother Beihe, people who didn’t know would think she and Chu Beihe were very familiar with each other.
If Jiang Xuxu hadn't heard Chu Beihe ask her to call him Mr. Chu, she would have thought that they were very familiar with each other. What
Jiang Xuxu didn't expect was that Chu Beihe had just corrected her way of addressing him, and she changed it in front of Chu Beihe, but continued to do her own thing in private.
Big Boss, do you know that you address me twice in front of others?
Jiang Xuxu didn't say anything, but heard Lu Xuexi continue,
"But Xuxu, although the Chu family and our family have a good relationship, Brother Beihe is a man after all. It's not good for a girl like you to stay so late at someone else's house."
With a tone of admonition, Jiang Han and other members of the Jiang family who were listening to the conversation from the other end of the living room looked subtly disapproving.
Jiang Xuxu was about to step out when she stopped.
She thought, why is it that someone always comes up to her and says something ambiguous to annoy her when they clearly don't want to pay attention to her?
Jiang Xuxu looked at Lu Xuexi, without much emotion on her face, just looking at her quietly, and asked slowly,
"Just now at the Chu family, Mr. Chu clearly told you to call him Mr. Chu, and you agreed to it at that time. Why are you calling him brother now behind his back? Does Mr. Chu know about you doing this?"
