Chapter 2267: Chapter 2269: Gu Linxi vs Cui Jiangjing
Cui Hao’s face turned livid, his fists clenched tightly as he gave a forced smile, “That brat’s girlfriend and all, it’s nothing serious. He’s just messing around. Today there’s a scandal with this movie star, tomorrow he’s trending with that model, I’m used to it. Nothing to see here, let’s go eat.”
Zhao Hengyang wasn’t willing to give up, trying to get people over, “You can’t say that. I heard Mr. Cui is particularly serious about this girlfriend, even told others that she’s marriage material. It’s not often you run into them, might as well go say hi, who knows, they might become family someday.”
Family, my ass! Cui Hao’s face darkened, his brush-like eyebrows giving him a wolfish look as he glanced at Zhao, saying coldly, “If you want to say hi so much, go yourself. I’m hungry, going to the private room first.”
As he strode off, the others quickly balanced gains and losses and said to the one getting embarrassed.
“Mr. Zhao, we’re heading off first.”
“Mr. Zhao, taking a step ahead.”
“Mr. Zhao, I’ll save you a seat, when you come over, you must drink a few more glasses.”
The group briskly walked past him, leaving Zhao Hengyang looking extremely uncomfortable, unwillingly glancing over at Gu Linxi’s group.
The assistant beside him naively asked, “Mr. Zhao, should we go over?”
He slapped the assistant and said angrily, “Go to hell! Has your brain stopped working? Think it over, I’m not going!”
He just wanted to watch the fun; who knew that old bastard Cui Hao would publicly turn against him, leaving him no way out. Everyone was following Cui Hao, and if he went over to greet Cui Jiangjing, what would he even say? That nephew of his, same as the old bastard, is a damn wolf, smiling like he’s harmless but much more ruthless behind the scenes than his father.
That little wolf never regarded him as an uncle, and it’s gracious he hasn’t come to him for trouble. If he slapped on a friendly face and went over, who knows how badly he’d get handled.
The assistant, having been scolded from head to toe, watched as Zhao stormed off, feeling aggrieved yet having no choice but to follow.
…
Forty minutes later, after finishing her meal, Gu Linxi was the first to put down her chopsticks, saying, “I’m full, you guys take your time.”
Then she took out her phone and started playing with it.
Seeing her bored, Cui Jiangjing had initially chatted a few words with Huo Xiahe, but then stopped talking, also putting down his knife and fork, saying, “I’m about done too.”
“So soon?” Three people at the table, two were full already, leaving her no choice but to put down her chopsticks, feeling both anxious and guilty, “Shall I order a dessert?”
Cui Jiangjing glanced at the woman seated next to him, making Gu Linxi inexplicably irritated. Why was he looking at her? If they wanted to eat, they should go ahead, she wasn’t rushing anyone.
As their eyes met, Cui Jiangjing was amused by her playful eye roll, turned his head, and absentmindedly told Huo Xiahe, “No need, my girlfriend doesn’t like cakes.”
“Then maybe a cup of coffee…”
“Also not necessary.” His eyes were full of indulgence, “She only likes mineral water, rarely touches drinks like coffee or juice.”
Huo Xiahe said sourly, “Bro, you’re too good to sis-in-law, you even remember her little habits in life.”
The habit of not liking drinks was only known by Rong Yan, since when did he notice it? Gu Linxi’s lashes drooped slightly, not joining in their conversation.
