My CEO Husband Has Some Issues

Chapter 2299: Chapter 2101: Gu Linxi vs. Cui Jiangjing

The long legs wrapped under the jeans are both long and well-proportioned, purely judging by the figure, it’s indeed eye-catching. Although the facial features are average, the skin is fair, and Gu Linxi’s skin is genuinely white. She is considered fair-skinned among yellow-skinned people, but compared to Gu Linxi’s cold fair skin, her once-proud fair skin seems like a dull yellow complexion.

Good temperament, good figure, fair and tall skin; apart from the average looks, such a girl has no flaws at all, and finding a boyfriend would certainly not be a problem.

Nowadays, many men value figure almost more than looks.

“Hm.”

Upon reasoning it out, Lin Wei didn’t find it surprising, gave a chuckle, and teased, “Then next time, bring your boyfriend out to play together.”

She was still not comfortable with being too close to people, nodded slightly, “If there’s a chance.”

Everyone is an adult. Adults understand adult small talk. Lin Wei didn’t push further and led her to the reserved private room.

As they approached the room, they heard lively chatter inside.

“We’re here.”

Just as Lin Wei was about to open the door, Gu Linxi, with her sharp ears, heard her name being mentioned.

“Hey, have you guys heard? Lin Wei says our classmate, Gu Linxi, is coming?”

“She’s coming? I haven’t seen her since high school.”

“I think I saw her on my way to work a few days ago. She… I don’t know how to say.”

“Just say it. Don’t leave things half-said.”

“Yes, go on.”

People are like that; the more something is half-said, the more it grabs people’s attention.

“Okay, I’ll say it. I saw her at a construction site, wearing worker’s clothes, covered in dust, moving bricks, sitting with workers on the ground eating boxed lunch. That appearance… Tsk, I almost didn’t recognize her. Honestly, I’m afraid to acknowledge knowing her as classmates publicly; it’s embarrassing.”

Gu Linxi attended a prestigious high school. Her classmates, to varying degrees, had backgrounds, none of whom were living at the bottom of society. In the eyes of these aloof individuals, jobs like brick-moving, dishwashing, or cleaning were deemed low-end. They don’t see others earning through labor; they only maintain distance from those occupations they look down upon, fearing they might lower their status. So when someone mentioned seeing her at a construction site, everyone in the room fell silent.

Lin Wei felt uncomfortable outside, silently observing her reaction, not knowing how to comfort her, she placed her hand on her shoulder, “Xixi, don’t mind them; they’re surely just talking nonsense.”

Gu Linxi’s cool eyes showed calm composure. With hands casually in her pockets, meeting her gaze, she said, “She wasn’t talking nonsense; the person she saw at the construction site was indeed me.”

Lin Wei was stunned, full of words but not knowing where to start. She knew her seatmate’s family had a major issue during high school, as she didn’t come to school for the latter half of senior year. But she didn’t know things had gotten so bad for her. Her gaze was filled with both heartache and discomfort, yet devoid of disdain towards Gu Linxi. She bit her lip, patted her shoulder in comfort, “It’s okay, seen is seen; I don’t think there’s anything wrong with working at a construction site. You’re earning with your hands; how does it bother them! Later, sit next to me, and we’ll leave after eating. If anyone dares speak against you, I’ll stand up for you!”

Gu Linxi openly acknowledged that the person seen by her high school classmates at the construction site was indeed her because she didn’t care about others’ opinions. However, she didn’t expect such a reaction from Lin Wei. A trace of emotion crossed her eyes, and she gently said, “Hm.”
