Chapter 471: A Warm Invitation
"Mr. Jiang? I'm Selena. Guan Tong still used his previous name to talk to Jiang Chu, and there was no lack of arrogance in his words.
Jiang Chu casually put down the watering can he was carrying, turned around and walked to the side of the sofa, sat down softly, and said loudly, "Selena, long time no see." ”
Responding lightly, Jiang Chu did not continue. She and Si Zhengyao are rivals, although Selena is now friend or foe and there is no evidence to prove it, but Jiang Chu just feels that she is definitely not a good stubble.
Selena didn't care when she heard this, she still maintained a grinning attitude, and her words were more intimate, as if the two had been old friends for many years.
"There's nothing to do, tomorrow is my birthday, my dad specially held a birthday party in order to let me get to know everyone, I don't know if Mr. Jiang has time, will he be willing to appreciate his face?"
Jiang Chu frowned when he heard this, his face full of doubts. The sudden overture was a bit unexpected to her. In the current situation, isn't it better to have as little contact with her as possible?
"What's wrong? Isn't it convenient for Mr. Jiang? Selena's voice was a little disappointed, and her mood was lowered.
Jiang Chu suddenly chuckled and pulled his thoughts back: "No, no." I really want to go to Selena's birthday party, but my current physical condition is really inconvenient, and going there will make you a mess. ”
Although Jiang Chu's arm was fine, she was still not very happy to go over, especially at the banquet with so many irrelevant people, it was really a headache.
Selena didn't want to give up just like that, but comforted when she heard the voice: "Don't worry about this, you just need to stay good after you come." Oh, by the way, Mr. Shen also has an invitation, and Mr. Shen can also take care of you at that time, I can rest assured. ”
Jiang Chu frowned slightly, and a layer of doubt rose in his heart. Isn't the news of her injured arm already blocked? But how did Selena know?
The more she thought about Jiang Chu, the more she felt that something was wrong, it seemed that she had to go, whether it was to sell Selena a face, or to find out Selena's true identity.
"Since Selena has said so, I don't know what to do. Then I'd like to thank Selena for the invitation. Jiang Chu responded briskly, and his tone was deliberately relaxed.
The two exchanged some pleasantries, and hung up the phone. Holding the mobile phone in his hand, Jiang Chu's mind couldn't help but think of Zhao Chengwu, Qian Qiang and Xiaoyi, especially the two kidnappers who were killed on the spot. If the manipulator behind the scenes is Guan Tong, then she shouldn't be so blatantly about the birthday party now, is it a pre-plot to divert the attention of others?
Jiang Chu was puzzled, and when he was hesitating, a person suddenly approached his side. Shen Mu, who had come back after dealing with the company's affairs, quietly walked behind Jiang Chu and asked in a low voice, "What do you want, so loud?" ”
The sudden sound made Jiang Chu tremble, and then he looked back at the person behind him, his brows furrowed slightly, and the frightened expression on his face had not disappeared.
"Why didn't you make any noise when you came back?" Jiang Chu couldn't help but complain.
Shen Mu's face was full of grievances, and when he came back, he called Jiang Chu first, but who knew that she was too focused and didn't react at all, so he had no choice but to get closer and ask.
Shen Mu coughed lightly, hiding the embarrassment of being reprimanded on his face, turned the sofa on one side and sat down, and asked Fang Cai's question again.
"Guan Tong invited me to her birthday party." Stating simply, Jiang Chu turned his eyes to look at Shen Mu, only to see that there was not the slightest surprise in his eyes.
Frowning slightly, Jiang Chu saw that Shen Mu had no reaction, and couldn't help asking, "Aren't you curious?" Or ......" Suddenly, Jiang Chu seemed to think of something, and said firmly, "Guan Tong has also looked for you, right?" ”
Just on the phone, Guan Tong said that she would also invite Shen Mu, Xu just hung up the phone, and she contacted Shen Mu directly, so he was not surprised.
Who knows, Shen Mu smiled lightly, shook his head, and said vaguely: "Yes, it doesn't count." It was not Guan Tong who was looking for me, but Si Zhengyao. ”
A string of questions entangled in Jiang Chu's mind, Si Zhengyao? She clearly remembered that Guan Tong caught the evidence of Si Zhengyao and Yin Luo's reluctance, and declared that their marriage was annulled in front of reporters, how could Si Zhengyao invite Shen Mu in the name of Guan Tong now?
Jiang Chu couldn't help but think of the previous speculations of the two, and then contacted Si Zhengyao to keep filling the vacancy, and in an instant, she seemed to understand something.
"So, there is still a constant relationship between Si Zhengyao and Guan Tong? So it's possible that our guess is true, right? ”
A small gesture made Jiang Chu more determined in his heart. Shen Mu smiled and closed his eyes and nodded, and said leisurely: "Tomorrow may be a very interesting day." ”
The next day, after Jiang Chu cleaned up, he went out of the room, walked to the hall, and found that someone below had already cleaned up, and was drinking coffee at the moment, leaning leisurely on the sofa with Erlang's legs crossed.
The closer he got, the more familiar Jiang Chu felt that the clothes on his body were more familiar, he looked down at the blue fishtail skirt on his body, and then looked up at the blue suit on Shen Mu's body, well, it was indeed a couple's outfit.
Hearing the sound of high heels, Shen Shen rolled his eyes, and his eyes lost his mind for a moment. Then he slowly got up and approached Jiang Chu. Before Jiang Chu could say anything, he looked Jiang Chu up and down, and asked first, "Why am I so familiar with your clothes today?" ”
Jiang Chu tugged at the corners of her mouth, this was obviously what Shen's mother took them to buy before, she always thought it was a single piece, who knew that Shen's mother made up a couple's outfit in order to be angry.
"Didn't Shen always refer to what I was wearing, and deliberately dressed like this?" Jiang Chu was not to be outdone, and went straight back.
Shen Mu shrugged his shoulders, raised his hand to take the bag of the same color that Jiang Chu was carrying, bent his arm, pushed it in front of Jiang Chu, and said in a low voice: "If you think so, then let it be." ”
Glancing at Shen Mu lightly, Jiang Chu rubbed Shen Mu, walked straight to the door, opened the car door, and sat in.
The two of them drove to the designated hotel, and as soon as they arrived at the door, they saw an eye-catching sign erected, which clearly read: The joy of the birthday of Guan's daughter.
Stopping the car, Shen Mu stretched out his arm in front of Jiang Chu again, Jiang Chu hesitated for a few seconds, stepped on the crook of his arm with some reluctance, and the two of them walked towards the hall in unison.
At this moment, the hall has already been arranged into a golden appearance, pink hydrogen balloons rise in the air, huge LED light signs flashing dazzling words, goblets rise and fall in the hands of everyone, waiters shuttle among them, and replace the wine in the hands of guests from time to time.
Before Jiang Chu's eyes could be withdrawn from the field, a person appeared in front of him. Guan Tong, who was dressed up, dragged a white feather dress, and Ying Ying walked in front of Jiang Chu.
"Mr. Shen, Chu Chu, are you here?" Guan Tong's title is very intimate, as if the two of them are good friends who talk about everything, such intimacy makes Jiang Chu a little surprised.
The hand on the crook of Shen Mu's arm gently pinched Shen Mu, and Shen Mu immediately understood what she meant, looked around, and saw a few acquaintances, so Shen Mu said: "You talk first, and I'll come to you later." ”
Gentlemanly nodded at Guan Tong, Shen Mu handed the bag to Jiang Chu, whispered a few words, and left.
Guan Tong's gaze has never left Shen Mu, and the scenes just now naturally did not leave her eyes. As soon as the person left, Guan Tong looked at Jiang Chu with a very strange gaze, and said: "Mr. Shen is really caring for Chu Chu, no wonder it is a sweet cake couple praised by everyone, your relationship is so stable, there will definitely be no cheating as speculated outside, it is really enviable." ”
Jiang Chu understood the deep meaning as soon as she heard it, this cheating was obviously for herself, if she didn't guess wrong, the meaning of these words was inseparable from Si Tingye.
Although Jiang Chu had already noticed that Guan Tong's feelings for Si Tingye were not ordinary, she didn't expect that Guan Tong would use these words to probe herself and warn herself.
"Poof" laughed out loud, Jiang Chu pretended to be modest and said: "Emotional things, such as people drinking water and knowing their own warmth, what outsiders see is only what outsiders see, the title of fairy couple is naturally unbearable, and Miss Guan is also too famous." ”
These words were vague and meaningful, and Guan Tong was puzzled for a moment, but she quickly reacted, and her eyes couldn't help but be a little dissatisfied when she looked at Jiang Chu.
"Tongtong." A somewhat whispered male voice came, and the two of them raised their eyes to look over, it was Guan Sheng, the chairman of the Guan Group and Guan Tong's father.
Guan Tong's face stiffened for a moment, and then a smile appeared on his face, and he shouted affectionately: "Father, why did you come to the door?" ”
Guan Sheng's eyes were full of doting eyes looking at Guan Tong, standing firmly beside Guan Tong, and said loudly: "I'm not worried about the things in the front hall, so I came to take a look." ”
Immediately, Guan Sheng seemed to have just seen Jiang Chu, his eyes lit up, and he said politely: "Isn't this Mr. Jiang?" Fortunately, I will be honored. ”
As he spoke, Guan Sheng gave birth to his hand. Out of politeness, Jiang Chu chuckled faintly, put his finger on Guan Sheng's hand, shook it gently, and immediately let go.
I don't know why, Guan Sheng's eyes made Jiang Chu feel very responsive, and he was very resistant in his heart. Fortunately, after shaking hands, Guan Tong said loudly: "I am here, Dad, you can rest assured." It's too cold in the front hall, so you might as well go to the back. What's more, there are your guests in the back hall that you can go and receive. ”
Guan Sheng chuckled, raised his hand and touched Guan Tong's hair, his movements were gentle, his eyes were full of unconcealed doting and love, and he said leisurely: "It's still my daughter who cares about herself, haha, then I'll go to the back hall first." ”
