Today's Gu Xiu was wearing a white suit, and everything from his hair to his leather shoes was carefully cared for, which was completely different from what Zhong Qing had seen before.

Although Zhong Qing didn't want to admit it, Gu Xiu, who was standing in front of her at this time, was really handsome.

"I ......"

"Is Xiaoqing here?" At this moment, Chu Shuzhi took Zhong Jingtian's hand and walked towards the two, Zhong Qing didn't have time to refuse Gu Xiu's invitation, he felt that his right hand was held by him, and naturally grabbed Gu Xiu's arm.

Xu Zhiyan's pace of welcoming her came to a halt halfway, and she saw Gu Xiu and Zhong Qing standing together, and the relationship between the two seemed to be more than just "project cooperation".

At least in Xu Zhiyan's opinion, Gu Xiu's expression at this time was gentleness that she had never seen before.

Facing Chu Shuzhi's smirk on her face, and the distress that her father deliberately concealed, Zhong Qing smashed her teeth and swallowed it in her stomach, but she couldn't say anything with a "congratulations".

"Uncle Zhong, Aunt Chu, congratulations." Gu Xiu took the gift that Wei Lan had prepared in advance and handed it to Chu Shuzhi: "Zhong Qing and I have been busy with the project in the past few days, and the gift was prepared in a bit of a hurry, I hope you don't mind." ”

Chu Shuzhi hurriedly said: "Gu Xiu, where are you talking about, in the future, Xiao Nian and Zihan will get married, we will be a family, so there is no need to be so polite." ”

Holding Gu Xiu's hand unconsciously tightened, Zhong Qing overestimated his ability to bear this matter. Now, at most, she can only force herself not to turn around and run away, and she can no longer make other hypocritical expressions.

But Chu Shuzhi obviously refused to let Zhong Qing go, she deliberately said in front of many people present: "Xiao Qing, Xiao Nian has been waiting for you for a long time!" Didn't you sisters say that they would be each other's bridesmaids? She's waiting for you upstairs right now. ”

Zhong Jingtian felt sorry for Zhong Qing, whose face was getting paler and paler, and said loudly: "Today is just an engagement banquet, it doesn't matter if there are no bridesmaids, Xiaoqing has been too busy with work recently, let her rest today." ”

Chu Shuzhi took Zhong Qing's hand and pretended to be affectionate: "Oh, their sisterhood is so good, Xiaoqing must want to witness her sister's happy moment, right?" ”

Gu Xiu raised his eyebrows, and was thinking about how to relieve Zhong Qing when he suddenly heard Zhong Qing speak:

"If you want to testify, you have already witnessed it when they associated behind my back and played me like a fool." Hearing the uproar in a small area of the people around her, Zhong Qing said again: "It's still Aunt Chu who wants Zhong Nian to tell me in front of me how she deceived me......"

"Zhong Qing!" Zhong Jingtian scolded her loudly, and warned her with his eyes not to say any more. The guests who came to the banquet today are all among the best people in the circle, and the faces of the four major families and the Zhong family must not be discredited.

Even if everyone knows the triangular relationship between Gu Zihan, Zhong Qing and Zhong Nian, as long as no one picks it up, they can maintain the superficial peace.

Gu Xiu took Zhong Qing and turned to leave, Zhong Jingtian also pulled Chu Shuzhi, who had an ugly face, to entertain the other guests, the small turmoil that had just happened was calmed down in an instant, and no one dared to make irresponsible remarks about the Zhong family and the Gu family on such an occasion.

"Xiaoqing, ...... you" Wei Mengjun and Grandma Zhou were sitting together, and just wanted to say a few words to Zhong Qing, they saw Gu Xiu standing next to her.

"Why are you here?" Wei Mengjun didn't show disgust because of the large number of people around, but his tone was very bad: "Today is an important day for the Gu family, what does it have to do with you?" ”

Gu Xiu first nodded politely to Grandma Zhou, and then looked at Wei Mengjun.

"My father asked me to come over." Gu Xiu said: "When the banquet is over, I will leave immediately." ”

"You're going to get me out now!" When Wei Mengjun saw Gu Xiu, the root of his teeth itched, that face similar to Yun Ling was Gu Xiu's biggest sin, every time he saw Gu Xiu, Wei Mengjun would think of that woman.

Even if Yun Ling is lying unconscious on the hospital bed now, she has to let this wild breed come back and make them uneasy! If it weren't for Gu Guosheng saying cruel words, how could she agree to this wild seed entering the Gu family's door!?

Grandma Zhou took Wei Mengjun's hand and played a round: "Today is a happy day, Mengjun, don't move your liver." The children also came to join in the fun, nothing more. ”

Since Grandma Zhou had spoken, Wei Mengjun could only swallow her anger even if she was unwilling, she glared at Gu Xiu viciously, and then looked at Zhong Qing who was holding Gu Xiu's arm, and blocked her chest in one breath.

"Thank you."

It wasn't until the two of them walked to the side that Zhong Qing had a chance to thank Gu Xiu, if Gu Xiu hadn't been by the side to round the field for herself, her mentality might collapse the moment she saw Chu Shuzhi.

Looking down and seeing Gu Xiu's bandaged hand, Zhong Qing asked, "Is your hand hurt?" ”

"It's just a small injury." Gu Xiu said very casually, in fact, the injury on his hand was cut by the person with a knife that day after catching the private detective who was following Zhong Qing, although the detective was later beaten violently, but the wound on the palm of his hand was left.

To this day, Gu Xiu doesn't know what crazy he is doing in his head, he will actually help Zhong Qing out, whether it is to catch that private detective, or to deliberately relieve her today, it doesn't seem like he would do something.

Long before Gu Xiu returned to the Gu family, he set rules for himself, one of which was that he would never get involved in the affairs between the four major families, but because of a Zhong Qing, he had to follow up the progress of the Shibei project first, and he also acted as a ridiculous flower messenger on this occasion.

Maybe he was born with a sense of justice, Gu Xiu thought, he just couldn't see Zhong Qing's pitiful appearance of being willing to be wronged.

"What, are you moved?" Seeing Zhong Qing staring at the floor in a daze, Gu Xiu deliberately joked.

Zhong Qing withdrew his arm and said, "No." ”

"If you want to repay me for this favor, it's easy to do." Gu Xiu said: "Think about the sale of land, you won't suffer." ”

Zhong Qing frowned and looked at Gu Xiu, and just as he wanted to say something, Xu Zhiyan and Gu Zimo walked over to the two.

"I don't know how to tidy up my collar if it's crooked." Xu Zhiyan stepped forward and wanted to sort out Gu Xiu's clothes as he spoke, but the latter took a step back without a trace and pulled his tie casually.

"Who invented such a strangulating thing?" Gu Xiu changed the topic and deliberately avoided answering Xu Zhiyan's ambiguous words.

Thinking of the picture of Gu Xiu and Zhong Qing standing together just now, Xu Zhiyan's expression was a little not good. She knew that Gu Xiu was very charming, and when he was abroad, many women threw themselves at him, but Gu Xiu had never taken the initiative to approach any girl like today.

Why Zhong Qing? Xu Zhiyan sighed in his heart, maybe he thought too much, maybe it was just a coincidence that the two appeared at the same time, they were really ordinary and cooperative.

"Xiaoqing, I'm really sorry about what happened that day." Xu Zhiyan said: "I really don't know the ins and outs of the matter. ”

Zhong Qing smiled generously: "It's okay, it's not your fault." ”

"I have already called Xu Ruo, and he was overjoyed to hear that it was not you who was engaged to Gu Zihan." Xu Zhiyan winked mischievously at Zhong Qing, and said ambiguously: "This kid was originally angry and refused to come back, but now that he heard about it, he didn't care about the exam and bought a plane ticket directly." ”

Zhong Qing's eyes lit up, not because Xu Zhiyan deliberately said that Xu Ruo's relationship with herself was ambiguous, but because she heard that Xu Ruo was coming back, she was happy in her heart.

Gu Xiu next to him frowned slightly, he knew that the children in the four major families knew each other, but when Xu Zhiyan mentioned Xu Ruo just now, Zhong Qing's expression was obviously a lot brighter, could it be ...... Is their relationship special?

"Xu is coming back? That's great. Zhong Qing still remembers that when she and Gu Zihan got engaged before her rebirth, Xu Ruo didn't appear, and the two of them hadn't seen each other for more than two years.

"Yes, when he comes back, you can catch up with the old days, and the door of my house will be open for you at any time." After Xu Zhiyan finished speaking, he glanced at the time: "The ceremony is about to start, I'll go and prepare first." ”

Zhong Qing smiled and nodded, but drank a whole glass of red wine after Xu Zhiyan turned to leave. Gu Zimo and Gu Xiu didn't have time to stop it, and they saw Zhong Qing pick up the second glass of wine.

"What are you doing?" Gu Xiu grabbed Zhong Qing's raised wrist and stopped her from drinking.

Gu Zimo next to him also cared: "Drinking on an empty stomach is very harmful to people's bodies, Zhong Qing, you calm down." ”

"I don't drink because I'm sad, I'm drinking because I'm ...... Glad. Looking at the dimming lights around and the concentrated spotlights at the stairs, Zhong Qing said stubbornly even though his eyes were red: "I'm happy because the person who is engaged to Gu Zihan today is not me......"

The two people who walked down the stairs slowly, like princes and princesses that only exist in fairy tales, the corners of Gu Zihan's mouth were happy smiles that could not be concealed, he held Zhong Nian's hand, and the warm and beautiful picture stung Zhong Qing's eyes.

"It turns out that he doesn't like to laugh, but he doesn't want to smile at me."

Every word Zhong Qing said trembled, Gu Zimo felt very uncomfortable when he heard it, and a certain nerve in Gu Xiu's heart was even more touched.

"That's fine...... It's good to ...... like this" Zhong Qing poured the second glass of red wine into her throat, she wasn't drunk, she just wanted the alcohol to numb her feelings.

The other hand clenched into a fist, and the nails were dug into the flesh, Zhong Qing kept herself calm in this almost morbid way, and she couldn't hear what the two people on the stage said.

"Here, I want to thank my sister the most, if it weren't for her fulfillment, I wouldn't be engaged to Brother Gu today."

Zhong Nian looked at Zhong Qing in the corner of the audience, and said deliberately: "Sister said that she will personally hand over the engagement ring to us today, and she will bless us personally." ”

Zhong Nian's voice was like the voice of a spell destroying Zhong Qing, her brain was blank, she didn't expect Zhong Nian to say such a thing in front of so many people!
