Chapter 171 Going to work
Chapter 171 Going to work
the next day.
When Gu Xi got up and went downstairs, he saw Jiang Jingchi eating breakfast in the restaurant.
He smiled handsomely, stretched out his hand and greeted her: "Good morning, wife."
Gu Xi rolled his eyes at him, did not agree, and walked straight towards the door.
Jiang Jingchi quickly shouted, "Where are you going?"
"work."
"Don't you want breakfast? I've prepared it for you."
"Don't eat."
"Then wait for me a moment. My car broke down. Can you give me a ride today? I'll be well soon. Wait for me a moment."
Jiang Jingchi hurriedly finished his breakfast and ran out, only to see that Gu Xi's car had already driven away.
He looked at the shadow of the car going farther and farther away, gnashing his teeth and saying, "This damn woman is so ruthless!"
Gu Xi worked for a whole morning and had lunch as usual at the western restaurant next to the group building.
As soon as she sat down, she said to the waiter, "Same as yesterday."
After saying that, he started looking at his work plan on his phone again.
Soon, the set meal arrived.
Gu Xi ate while looking at his phone.
Suddenly, a figure appeared beside me, and then a teasing voice sounded: "It's not good for your stomach to look at your phone while eating, and it will cause indigestion."
Gu Xi just picked up a piece of steak with a fork, but before he could put it in his mouth, he turned around and looked at Jiang Jingchi beside him and said, "What are you doing?"
Jiang Jingchi narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "How dare you ask? I clearly asked you to wait for me this morning. Why did you run so fast? You made me late. Do you know that, Gu Xi, you did it on purpose!"
"Can you please keep your voice down!"
Gu Xi stuffed the steak in his hand directly into Jiang Jingchi's mouth, blocking his mouth.
At the same time, she glared at him and said through gritted teeth, "Do you wish everyone in the world would know that we live together?"
Jiang Jingchi's mouth moved slightly and he chewed slowly, "Well, this steak is quite delicious."
Gu Xi rolled his eyes, picked up the orange juice beside him and took a sip.
Jiang Jingchi also picked up her cup and drank the remaining orange juice.
Gu Xi's eyes widened, "Jiang Jingchi! Are you sick?"
Jiang Jingchi said confidently, "You made me late for work, so what's wrong with treating me to a meal?"
"Okay! Then you can eat as much as you want!"
After saying that, Gu Xi stood up and left.
……
After the Han Group's anniversary celebration, Han Lingyue was put in solitary confinement by Han Wentian, who asked her to reflect at home and not go out to cause trouble again. So, she couldn't go out for several days.
This was a great torture for Han Lingyue, who enjoyed shopping, beauty treatments, drinking tea, chatting and spending money.
She felt like if she stayed like this any longer she would start growing mushrooms.
At this moment, Han Lingyue's cell phone rang. It was Lu Xinyao calling.
She picked up the phone and said weakly, "Hello? What's going on?"
"Yueyue? What's wrong with you? You sound like you're in a bad mood. How about we go shopping together today and I'll relax with you?"
"Oh! I want to go shopping too! But I can't get out!"
"Ah? What's going on?"
"It's all because of our Han Group's annual meeting..."
So, Han Lingyue told Lu Xinyao everything that happened that day on the phone, "This is what happened, so my dad won't let me go out. It's so annoying! That bitch Jiang Li is just as annoying as Yan Chenqi! Oh, and Gu Xi, Yaoyao, you don't know, Gu Xi was so arrogant that night."
"Ha ha……"
Lu Xinyao on the other end of the phone laughed bitterly, "Of course I don't know whether our Lu family is eligible to participate in your Han Group's anniversary celebration."
There was a hint of sarcasm and complaint in her words.
Han Lingyue sat up straight and said, "Yaoyao, my brother is in charge of all matters concerning the group. I can't interfere at all. I would like you to come, but my brother will definitely not let you! If it were in the past, my brother would definitely not exclude you. Now, because of that bitch Yan Chenqi, he has a grudge against your Lu family."
"I know. I can only blame my sister. Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Yueyue, you can't go shopping with me today, right? Can't you think of a solution? We haven't seen each other for a long time."
"Okay! Wait for me, I'll think of a solution."
After hanging up the phone, Han Lingyue had an idea and she planned to attack Yuan Yiying.
Han Lingyue took out a super white liquid foundation and deliberately painted her face pale, trying to make herself look as pitiful as possible.
Looking at her pale self in the mirror, Han Lingyue nodded with satisfaction. "Now, when my mother sees me like this, she will definitely be soft-hearted. This time, no matter how hard I try, I must make her agree to let me go out and play."
Han Lingyue opened the door and went downstairs.
Just then she heard Yuan Yiying talking on the phone in the living room downstairs, so she walked over quietly out of curiosity.
Even when she was on the phone, Yuan Yiying still maintained her dignified and elegant appearance, with a smile on her face, and said gently to the person on the other end of the phone: "Okay, Xixi, thank you for your kindness, then it's settled, you must come tonight, Auntie will prepare a big meal for you, I guarantee you will be satisfied, that's it for now, I won't disturb you from work, bye, see you tonight."
After hanging up the phone, Yuan Yiying's face was still filled with a happy smile.
Suddenly, Han Lingyue's sharp voice came from behind: "Mom! What's wrong with you? You actually invited Gu Xi to your house for dinner? Why?"
Yuan Yiying was startled and patted her chest in fear. She turned around and saw Han Lingyue with a resentful look on her face. She said, "Why are you so silent, kid? You really scared me to death."
"What? You were so engrossed in the phone conversation that you didn't even notice I was behind you. Mom, you haven't answered me yet. Why did you invite Gu Xi to dinner at home? You know very well that she and I are sworn enemies! She is a thorn in my side."
Yuan Yiying smiled slightly, "Yueyue, you are too sensitive. Since childhood, you have always regarded Xixi as an imaginary enemy. You have to compare everything with her, which makes you so tired. During the last anniversary celebration, I chatted with Xixi and found that she is a person with strong opinions and connotation, good temper and capable. She is not as bad as you say."
Han Lingyue was almost mad when she heard Yuan Yiying praising Gu Xi.
She sat down next to Yuan Yiying, "Mom, have you been bewitched by her? No matter what I say, I always side with her! I am your biological daughter!"
