Chapter 83 Gu Xiangsi, are you shameless? !
On the same day, at 5 p.m.
Jiang Xinghe, who was far away in Australia City, received a call from Li Xiaoyao and raised the volume as soon as the call was connected.
"What did you say? Brother Lu Wang is pursuing my fiancée?"
Li Xiaoyao was on speakerphone. When Fu Sinian, who was sitting behind the president's desk, heard the word "fiancée", his hand holding the pen suddenly stopped, and the tip of the pen left a small ink stain on the document.
He raised his eyes and looked over. There was no emotion in his eyes, but there was an invisible sense of oppression.
Li Xiaoyao felt a chill on his back and quickly tried to smooth things over: "Young Master Jiang, you two were just childhood sweethearts. Actually... you don't have any real relationship, right?"
"Why not? I have the advantage because of the child marriage!"
Jiang Xinghe said confidently, "Brother Lu Wang, this is called taking advantage of someone's misfortune! We talked about fair competition, but where's my brother? He doesn't care?"
Fu Sinian coughed, his voice calm but with undeniable weight: "You lost all your money in Macau and why don't you come back?"
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds, and then Jiang Xinghe's urgent voice came: "I'll call back! Right away! I was just about to chat with my sister Sisi. When it comes to chasing girls, men always have to take the initiative."
After a pause, he seemed to suddenly remember something and shouted into the phone, "Brother, you never take the initiative to send messages to Sister Sisi, do you? No wonder you are still single, you deserve it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the phone was hung up with a "bang".
Li Xiaoyao held up his cell phone, his whole body frozen.
Young Master Jiang is really brave enough to say that!
He secretly glanced at Fu Sinian. The other party had lowered his head and held the pen again, but his knuckles were slightly white and the coldness around him seemed to be even heavier.
In the days that followed, Jiang Xinghe's message would pop up on Gu Xiangsi's phone every day.
Sometimes it's a hilarious talk show segment, sometimes it's a heartwarming "It's getting colder today, remember to put on more clothes." There's even a photo he took of his pet dog making a face, with the caption, "Does it look like someone who always frowns?"
Gu Xiangsi stared at the screen, often in a daze.
She really didn't expect that the person who had disappeared for a long time after the last blind date would suddenly reappear in such a frequent manner.
Just as she was thinking about it, the Gu family called again. Their tone was not polite at all, asking her to go back to the old house before the New Year.
Gu Xiangsi held her cell phone, wondering what the Gu family was going to do next.
But thinking that she would take her grandmother back to Lam Tsuen to celebrate the New Year the next day, she still took the time to go back to the Gu family's old house first.
Returning to the Gu family villa for the second time.
What Gu Xiangsi had not expected was that she would meet a strange woman in the Gu family. The servant called her Miss Zhao, which suddenly reminded her of the information she had accidentally seen on Fu Sinian's computer that day, Zhao Niesen's sister, Zhao Xiaoshan.
What is her connection with the Gu family?
Gu Xiangsi calmed himself down, walked to the center of the hall, and nodded slightly to greet the old lady of the Gu family.
"Are you here? Please sit down." The old lady raised her eyes and said in a calm tone.
She sat down on the single sofa beside her, and the servant quickly brought her a cup of her usual Longjing tea.
"Oh, this must be the daughter of Gu Laoer that my aunt mentioned?" The strange woman spoke first, her voice sweet and with a familiar smile.
"Aunt?" Gu Xiangsi was stunned, and a detail that had been ignored for a long time suddenly flashed through his mind.
Her grandmother's original surname was Zhao, and her original name was Zhao Yun. After she married into the Gu family, she was called Mrs. Gu. Over time, her original surname was gradually forgotten.
So, her grandma and Zhao Niesen are...
Once an idea comes up, it grows like a vine.
Gu Xiangsi's fingers holding the teacup trembled slightly, and the scalding hot tea overflowed from the wall of the cup, splashing on the back of her hand, causing a burning pain.
"Miss Gu, be careful of the heat."
Gu Xiangsi suppressed the surging emotions in her heart, raised her eyes to look at the other person, and asked in a slightly hoarse voice: "Excuse me, who are you?"
"I'm your grandma's niece, Zhao Xiaoshan."
The other person smiled politely and said in a natural tone, "According to seniority, you should call me cousin."
Seeing the woman greeting him enthusiastically, Gu Xiangsi knew clearly that she must have called her back for something.
Sure enough, the next second, Mrs. Gu spoke, her tone scrutinizing: "I asked you to come back today to ask you first, how are you getting along with Young Master Jiang of the Jiang family?"
Xiang Si thought about the last time Jiang Xinghe helped her get out of the blind date forced by the Gu family, and said vaguely, "That's good."
"Very good?" Old Madam Gu sneered, her tone suddenly becoming rude. "Then why did I hear that you were involved with Dr. Lu from the Lu family again?"
Gu Xiangsi clenched her fists, but before she could respond, Zhao Xiaoshan on the side started talking, adding fuel to the fire.
"Oh, Xiangsi, I can't hide this. Xianglian has fallen for Lu Wang, the young master of the Lu family. I didn't expect... that you got there first."
Gu Xianglian?
Gu Xiangsi frowned. It was her again.
Just as he finished speaking, footsteps were heard on the stairs.
Gu Xianglian came down wearing an exquisite Chanel-style suit, with a smug smile on her face, and looked at Old Lady Gu: "Grandma, I'll tell you, Xiangsi will definitely not admit it."
She glanced at Gu Xiangsi, her eyes full of provocation, "Lu Wang and I were engaged when we were children, so why did he turn around and get so close to you? Gu Xiangsi, do you really like to steal other people's things?"
Another child marriage? Gu Xiangsi had a headache.
"Doctor Lu and I are just..."
"Just what?" Mrs. Gu interrupted her, her tone sharp, "Just like your mother, all she knows how to do is flirt!"
"Grandma, please be kind with your words."
Gu Xiangsi stood up suddenly, "You know better than anyone what kind of person my mother is!"
The air in the living room froze instantly. Gu Xianglian pretended to pull Old Lady Gu's arm, but in fact, it added fuel to the fire: "Grandma, don't be angry. Xiangsi is also anxious..."
Gu Xiangsi looked at the two people in front of her who were singing the same tune and felt nauseous.
She clenched her fists until her knuckles turned white.
"Gu Xianglian, if you really like Lu Wang, you can pursue him openly and honestly. There's no need to be so hypocritical here. Also."
She turned to Old Lady Gu, her voice as cold as ice, "I call you Grandma only out of respect for my father. This villa you live in now, every inch of it wasn't earned by my father back then."
"If there's nothing else, don't call me back. We've broken off our relationship long ago."
With that, she turned and walked towards the door.
Old Mrs. Gu did not expect that Gu Xiangsi would be so stubborn and would not give Zhao Xiaoshan any face in front of her.
She stared at Gu Xiangsi, and suddenly felt a little dazed. This child was born to be well-behaved, with a pair of lively almond-shaped eyes, but when she was not smiling, there was always a layer of cold and distant mist in her eyes, like ice-hardened glass, which made people feel alienated when looking at her.
In the past, she always thought that this look was pleasing, gentle, quiet and easy to control.
But at this moment, those eyes looked straight at her, clearly without any intense emotions, but with a sense of determination that made her inexplicably frightened.
"You..." Old Madam Gu pointed at her, her chest heaving with anger, "You've grown wings, haven't you?"
Gu Xiangsi didn't look back, nor did he stop, leaving her with only a cold back.
When he reached the front yard gate, Gu Xianglian pulled him to a corner of the villa gate.
"Gu Xiangsi, do you have any shame?" Gu Xianglian slapped him after he finished speaking.
