Chapter 20
On the way to the second floor, Xie Wanru always held Gu Xue to ask for warmth, and Xia Xier fell behind the two of them, looking a little lonely.
The three of them walked into the study one after the other, and Xie Wanru shouted with a smile as he walked, "Dad, I brought someone to you." ”
Her voice is very crisp, but the content is very vague, only saying that she brought people, but she does not mention who they are.
Wen Tingshu raised his head and saw three people standing opposite, he couldn't help frowning, he only asked Xie Wanru to bring Gu Xue, but he didn't expect Xia Xi'er to come too.
Wen Tingshu has never seen Xia Xier in person, but he has seen it on the cover of the magazine a few times, Xia Xier in the photo is always wearing heavy makeup and revealing clothes, and the real person in front of him looks similar to the photo, still the sexy and bewitching appearance.
In contrast, Wen Tingshu prefers Gu Xue's dress today, simple and dignified, and generous, while Xia Xier's bells and whistles are really not appreciated.
"Dad, let's talk, I'll go out first." After Xie Wanru finished speaking, he walked out of the house with a sense of humor, and closed the door with him.
Xia Xi'er stepped forward with a smile and greeted respectfully: "Grandpa Wen, hello." ”
Wen Tingshu didn't say anything, his eyes crossed Xia Xi'er, and looked at Gu Xue behind him, "Xiaoxue, come and sit." ”
Xia Xi'er was stunned for a moment, her smile instantly froze on her face, she looked at Gu Xue a little helplessly, but the other party didn't look at her, Gu Xue stepped forward according to her words, pulled out the rattan chair and sat down, and shouted softly: "Grandpa Wen." ”
Wen Tingshu nodded and asked with concern, "Is your father's health better?" ”
"It's much better, thank you for your concern."
Gu Xue and Wen Tingshu started to talk as if no one was around, Xia Xi'er was on the side, unable to interject at all, looking a little embarrassed.
Wen Tingshu put up a shelf, neither greeting Xia Xier nor issuing an eviction order, he didn't have the spare time to take care of his grandson's little lover.
However, Xia Xier thought that this was Wen Tingshu's dismissal for her, and called the two of them over at the same time, but she warmed up Gu Xue and snubbed herself, which was obviously trying to support Gu Xue.
Xia Xier didn't know that Wen Tingshu didn't call her at all, she was Xie Wanru's ghost, but whether it was Xie Wanru or Wen Tingshu, she would not be resentful, because they were Wen Minxuan's elders after all, and she would only transfer all her grievances to Gu Xue.
After chatting for a while, Wen Tingshu looked up at the wall clock on the wall, then propped up the chair and slowly got up, "The drinking party has begun, let's go down." ”
Gu Xue hurriedly stepped forward and hugged Wen Tingshu, and then, the two walked out of the study side by side, and Xia Xier had no choice but to follow behind stupidly.
In the living room on the ground floor, bursts of laughter rang out from time to time, and the guests gathered together in twos and threes, pushing cups and changing lamps, talking and laughing, and the scene was very lively.
Sui Yun and Han Yiqing stood in the corner and waited for a while, but they never saw Gu Xue come down, both of them realized that it seemed a bit silly to wait like this, so they went to Buffet Terrace, took a cocktail, and took some snacks.
Han Yiqing was really hungry, she looked around, and saw that no one was paying attention to her, so she ate the cake in a big gulp, but she was only halfway through eating, and suddenly put down the plate, and subconsciously wiped her mouth with the back of her hand.
Because, she caught a glimpse of Wen Minxuan walking towards this side.
Wen Minxuan's attention was obviously not on Han Yiqing, he paced to Sui Yun unhurriedly, the smile on his face was a little frivolous, "I didn't expect Xiaoxue to bring you too?" Are you Gu Xue's driver tonight, or a bodyguard? Won't it be family members? ”
Sui Yun put down the cocktail glass, put his hand into the pocket of his trousers, and replied indifferently: "Yueheng Pictures is like a big family, and the members are very united, so, in a sense, I can be regarded as Mr. Gu's family." ”
Wen Wenxuan sneered, as if he was laughing at the other party's brazenness. He turned his face slightly, and caught a glimpse of Gu Xue walking down with Wen Tingshu in his arms, so he said "unaccompanied" and walked towards the staircase instead.
"Minxuan, all of you are acquaintances who came today, you go and introduce Xiaoxue to you." After standing still in the living room, Wen Tingshu commanded Wen Wenxuan, who was not far away.
"No problem." Wen Minxuan stretched out his right hand and handed it to Gu Xue, "Miss Gu Xue, let's go." ”
Gu Xue was slightly embarrassed, "Grandpa Wen, I'm still here to talk to you." ”
"Go ahead, get to know more people, it's good for you." Wen Tingshu patted the back of Gu Xue's hand and motioned for her to let go.
Gu Xue had no choice but to let go of Wen Tingshu's arm and followed Wen Minxuan a little reluctantly.
Wen Tingshu didn't know that his grandson had been pestering Gu Xue recently, and he only thought that the relationship between the two was very stiff now, so he wanted to break the deadlock and improve their relationship.
However, his inadvertent action made the two women present unhappy.
Xia Xier stood under the wall lamp, biting her lip hatefully, she was wearing an eye-catching evening dress, but she was treated as air one after another. Wen Tingshu ignored her, even Wen Minxuan was the only one in her eyes, Gu Xue was alone, which couldn't help but make her jealous, and the strong jealousy was gradually devouring her reason.
Wen Wenxuan led Gu Xue around and introduced several CEOs to her, and Gu Xue greeted those people warmly and toasted each other. After a few glasses of wine, she obviously felt a little drunk, and hurriedly made an excuse to sneak outside to breathe.
The courtyard was empty, silent and cold, in stark contrast to the hustle and bustle of the house. Gu Xue stood under the night sky, blown by the cold wind,
On the contrary, the mind was clear, and the drunkenness gradually subsided.
She walked aimlessly along the path, and before she knew it, she had come to the pool.
The light of the European-style street lamp is dim and elegant, the water in the pool is crystal clear, the swimming pool under the moonlit night appears quiet and quiet, and suddenly there is a kind of artistic conception of the moonlight of the lotus pond.
Gu Xue couldn't help but stop and admired the bright moon above her head, she was standing on the edge of the pool, her face was as white as jade, and her black eyes were full of moonlight, but in the next second, her gaze suddenly froze......
After a few seconds, Gu Xue gradually came back to her senses, and she looked down at her feet. Her shadow looked vague and narrow in the street light, but another shadow was moving in this direction, gradually reuniting with her shadow.
Gu Xue took a deep breath, then took a big stride and flashed to the side.
At this time, Xia Xi'er had already raised her hand, and was about to exert her strength to push the person in front of her into the water, Gu Xue suddenly dodged like this, which made Xia Xi'er behind her push into the air, she hurriedly withdrew her hand, wanting to stabilize her center of gravity, but it was already too late.
With a plop, a fiery red figure plunged into the water.
After Xia Xi'er fluttered a few times, her head emerged from the water, she wiped the water stains on her face while snorting and panting, looking at Gu Xue who was safe and sound by the pool, her anger rose up, and she couldn't help but scold: "Gu Xue, you, haven't you already run away from marriage?" Why do you want to come and rob me of Minxuan. How? Do you regret it? Want to eat back grass? ”
Gu Xue glanced at her and opened her mouth coldly: "No one wants to rob Wen Minxuan with you, if you like it, just take it." While there is no one now, I advise you to get up quickly and change your clothes, so as not to be embarrassed in public. ”
Just when she looked up to admire the moon just now, an illusion appeared in front of Gu Xue's eyes again, she saw Xia Xi'er walking behind her and pushing her off the pool, so Gu Xue would be prepared in advance.
But she didn't expect that Xia Xier couldn't hold back her strength, and she fell into the pool instead. This must be the so-called modern newspaper.
After Gu Xue finished speaking, she was about to leave, but at the moment she turned around, a wet hand suddenly reached over and grabbed her ankle.
Gu Xue was shocked in her heart, and subconsciously kicked her legs a few times, "Let go of me." ”
Xia Xi'er grabbed the other party's feet tightly, but he refused to let go, why did he fall so wolf, but Gu Xue was still clean and unscathed? If you want to get out of the trouble, everyone will be out of the way, and she must pull Gu Xue into the water.
Xia Xi'er went crazy and desperately dragged the other party into the water, Gu Xue was obviously a little overwhelmed.
The ground by the pool was very smooth, there was nothing to borrow, and the shape seemed to be very unfavorable to Gu Xue, she sighed, almost ready to get wet, but at this time, someone suddenly grabbed her arm, and at the same time, the other hand wrapped around her waist and dragged her body out little by little.
Gu Xue raised her head in surprise, but saw Sui Yun appear beside her, the other party pursed her lips, frowned slightly, and looked quite stern, from this point of view, Sui Yun's handsome face looked so resolute and tough, Gu Xue inexplicably felt a sense of security in her heart.
Sui Yun's appearance made Xia Xi'er panic, and his hand unconsciously loosened, Sui Yun took the opportunity to exert his strength and pulled Gu Xue to a safe area.
"What's wrong?"
Perhaps it was the movement outside that was too loud and alarmed the people in the house, Wen Minxuan walked out of the cocktail party and walked straight towards the pool, accompanied by more than a dozen guests who came to see the excitement.
The group came to the pool in a majestic manner, however, the scene in front of them was shocking, only to see the popular movie star Xia Xier soaking in the pool, and not far from her, stood Gu Xue, the president of Yueheng Pictures, and her artists.
Xia Xi'er's appearance at the moment is extremely wolf, her well-groomed hairstyle has long been messy, her wet messy hair is constantly dripping water, and the bandeau dress on her body has also been displaced because of her previous movements, and it can hardly cover the spring light on her chest.
Xia Xier hurriedly lifted the skirt on her chest up, lowered her head in embarrassment, and let so many peers see her appearance, she was embarrassed and thrown home, she was very glad that there was no media present at the scene, if this set of photos was published, she would really have no face to see people.
Wen Minxuan took two steps closer, and Xia Xi'er, who was flushing into the water, asked, "What's going on?" ”
Xia Xi'er opened her mouth, but she didn't say anything, after the previous madness, she had gradually regained her senses, and finally realized what a stupid thing she had done, she looked at Gu Xue worriedly, for fear that the other party would tell the truth of the matter.
However, Gu Xue was equally silent. Wen Minxuan's little lover wants to push herself into the water, this is not a glorious thing, Gu Xue will not be stupid enough to publicize this kind of thing everywhere, if it is not good, others really think that she wants to compete with Xia Xier for Wen Minxuan.
Sui Yun on the side seemed to see her concerns, and replied lightly: "Miss Xia Xier accidentally fell into the pool and almost took Mr. Gu down with her, but fortunately I grabbed Mr. Gu in time." ”
Wen Minxuan frowned, he knew in his heart that things must not be so simple, but he didn't bother to care about this kind of open and secret struggle between women, so he ordered the servant beside him: "You go and help Miss Xia up." ”
Gu Xue didn't want to stay here and let others watch the excitement, so she left the courtyard with Sui Yun and returned to the reception scene.
After this incident, Gu Xue and Xia Xi'er completely tore their faces, and the beams between the two became deeper and deeper. Gu Xue was a little helpless, she didn't have anything to do here, but someone just wanted to get along with her.
