Chapter 31: Birthday
Because Gu Tian missed Lu Jinchao's birthday during the time when he was injured, he insisted on making up for him after the injury was healed.
Lu Jinchao wanted to forget it, but after all, he couldn't resist her, so he had to agree and rebook a seat at the Green Forest Restaurant.
When the time came to make an appointment in the evening, Lu Jinchao went directly from the company, and Shi Yu first sent Gu Tian to the restaurant alone.
While sitting in the seat and reading the menu, Gu Tian touched the small box on the table again, which contained the birthday gift she had prepared for Lu Jinchao.
A Patek Philippe limited edition men's watch, with a classic pattern designed by her and engraved by her own hand, this watch is arguably unique in the world.
Gu Tian was full of joy and imagined what it would be like for him to receive the watch, the corners of her mouth unconsciously rose, she ordered the food in advance, glanced at the time, and asked the waiter to push the cake she had made with her own hands.
Everything is ready to go.
They made an appointment at 7 p.m., but Lu Jinchao still didn't arrive until an hour and a half later, and he didn't say any hello to her or let others inform her.
I don't know if it's because of the company's affairs or the traffic jam in the evening rush hour.
Shi Yu helped her call Lu Jinchao's private number on the side, but the busy line was still unanswered.
Gu Tian gradually became a little worried about whether something had happened to him, and after dialing the number again and still hearing a busy sound, there was a sudden movement at the door of the restaurant.
Gu Tian hurriedly got up and leaned over to look, only to see that the person who came was dressed in a straight suit, and his steps with two long legs were calm and elegant.
But the person is not Lu Jinchao.
"Are you still waiting here? Everyone is ready to party. Xu Peiyan grinned and threw an invitation letter on the table.
Gu Tian was confused, wondering how Xu Peiyan would know that she was here, and at the same time picking up the invitation he threw over and looking at it.
She looked at it word by word, and her face changed as Xu Peiyan expected: "Who arranged this?" ”
Gu Tian believed that Lu Jinchao would not do such a thing and leave her here alone, while he held a birthday party in the Lu family's old mansion.
"Who do you think it will be? Who else in T City would dare to do such a fanfare in his name? Xu Peiyan shook her head, as if she was extremely worried about the brain IQ of her falling in love.
It was Lu Yingxian.
Except for Lu Yingxian, no one dared to do such a thing.
It seems that what happened last time still affected her image in Lu Yingxian's heart, but she can't have both fish and bear's paws, if she wants Lu Jinchao's heart to be on her, she has to make dangerous moves.
But this price was something Gu Tian didn't expect, and he didn't expect Lu Yingxian to use such a means to drive a wedge between the two of them.
But no matter what, it is impossible for Lu Jinchao to agree, and she did not receive an invitation, what kind of occasion did she need to take advantage of Lu Jinchao's birthday, but also avoid her, and invited celebrities from all walks of life to participate....
A terrifying thought suddenly flashed through Gu Tian's mind.
She excitedly grabbed the clothes on Xu Peiyan's chest, looking nervous: "Did Lu Ying arrange a new marriage partner for Jinchao first?" ”
Xu Peiyan gave her an affirmative look: "You're not too stupid after all." ”
The Gu family was crumbling, and Lu Jinchao caused such trouble because of her. She knows too well what kind of granddaughter-in-law Lu Yingxian wants, and what kind of housewife of the Lu family she wants.
Comparable to the background of the Lu family, virtuous and virtuous, educated and responsible, calm and serious, she is the most perfect housewife of the Lu family.
Once she also thought that Lu Jinchao would like such a woman and marry such a person who only existed as the mother of the Lu family and not as his wife.
She had wanted to change herself like this, but that wasn't who she really was.
For her, it doesn't matter whether she is the housewife of the Lu family or not, she knows her heart, and now she just wants to be with Lu Jinchao.
Now, she is no longer the right person. I'm afraid that Lu Yingxian has already regarded her as the praise of King Zhou You, the Daji of King Shang, and regarded her as a demon concubine of the country.
Gu Tian didn't know how to get out of trouble right now, but tonight, if Lu Yingxian really wanted to arrange a new marriage partner for Lu Jinchao, and Lu Jinchao was just forced to agree....
Gu Tian's hands were cold in an instant, and she was so frightened by her guess that her heart almost jumped out.
Shi Yu saw that her face was not good, and offered to send her back to Pingshu: "Miss Gu, the boss wants me to protect your safety, if you don't feel well now, do you want me to send you back first?" ”
Gu Tian tried to calm his mind, stopped the nonsense in his mind, and arranged it clearly: "Shi Yu, the only person I can trust now is you." ”
"You go and contact all the people related to Lu Jinchao now, and tell me as soon as you find out his whereabouts." Gu Tian loosened the clothes on Xu Peiyan's chest and whispered sorry.
Shi Yu was actually worried about Lu Jinchao's situation, but now that the situation was urgent, he could only leave Gu Tian to find Lu Jinchao's whereabouts first, so he agreed to Gu Tian's arrangement and immediately set off to return to Lu's company first.
"Since you have an invitation, then I will be your female companion again this time, and you can take me to Lu Mansion to attend this birthday party, okay?"
The pleading in her eyes was so obvious, Xu Peiyan didn't even want her to let go of the clothes on her chest that she was holding tightly, she rarely leaned so close to him.
Xu Peiyan cleared his throat and replied to her: "Okay." ”
As long as she wants, he can help her do it.
************
The prince of the Xu family and the fiancée of the Lu family, such a combination attracted the attention of everyone present from the moment he appeared.
Gu Qian calmly accepted the scrutiny of everyone, took Xu Peiyan's arm and walked into the hall from the main entrance, and saw that everything was arranged in a golden pink, and everywhere he went was exquisite and gorgeous decorations.
It didn't look like a birthday party, it looked like an engagement party.
Gu Tian knew that he would definitely not be able to hide his arrival, and the people below went to inform Lu Yingxian as soon as they entered the courtyard, and at this moment, before Gu Tian and Xu Peiyan arrived in the front hall, a servant had already come up to ask Gu Tian to come over.
Xu Peiyan grabbed her arm and silently signaled her not to go, but Gu Tian stroked his hand, showed an apologetic expression, and then turned around and left with the servant.
Xu Peiyan was stunned in place, his heart was indescribably empty, when she came in with him, he couldn't hide the excitement in his heart, wishing that everyone would misunderstand her relationship with him, so that he could have the opportunity to be with her naturally.
But the cold reality quickly made him understand that everything Gu Tian did was for Lu Jinchao, and he was just a springboard tonight.
Thinking of this, Xu Peiyan pulled the corners of his mouth self-deprecatingly, took the champagne presented by the waiter, put away the sparseness all over his body, and walked towards the small pile of shadows again in high spirits: "Miss Cheng and Miss Song are here." ”
The young ladies who were called pursed their lips and chuckled, and they all came up to tease him: "Didn't Yan Shao come with the Gu family?" Why are you alone? ”
"The beauty has an appointment, and I can't force it."
Xu Peiyan snorted and was about to go through this article, but Miss Song sneered and snorted coldly: "Who can she make an appointment with, Lu Shao is probably going to get engaged tonight." ”
"However, it is said that Lu Yingxian's fiancée is not surnamed Gu." Miss Cheng next to her took the words over, with a look of preparation to see a joke.
Xu Peiyan naturally knew it, and he didn't intend to laugh at Gu Tian with them, but was unhappy with their words about Gu Tian, and he politely interrupted: "I'm out of company first." ”
Seeing that he was about to leave as soon as he came, Cheng Song's two eldest ladies said to stay, but Xu Peiyan was not nostalgic. He himself was slightly surprised, he had always lingered in the flowers, and he rarely refused to retain and summon beautiful women, but today when he heard them say this, he suddenly felt that these two people were hateful, and he couldn't be interested in flirting with them.
He walked resolutely, and he was even more anxious to find Gu Tian's figure, where was Lu Yingxian so easy to deal with, I don't know if she would be bullied by others.
He shouldn't have let her go alone just now, otherwise he wouldn't be so restless now.
