224 High profile engagement

Since Xia Chaolu nodded and agreed to get married, the old lady of the Li family has been calling. Either she likes styles of clothes or even asks her that she likes jewelry. Xia Chaolu was so scared that she didn't even dare to go to the Li family, and she didn't dare to answer Grandma Li's phone call again.

"Li Jun, it's all your good things!" Xia Chaolu stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, her delicately made cheeks covered in anger, "How to end now?"

"Hahaha." The man held his cell phone and smiled happily, "What are you nervous? My grandmother loves you so much, just take whatever you want. Lulu, let me tell you, my grandmother has a treasure chest, and everything in it is good. Anything you pick it up is an old item, which is very valuable."

"I don't want money." Xia Chaolu pouted in frustration and said aggrievedly: "I don't want others to misunderstand. Li Jun, you promised that you can solve it. Why has it become like this now?!"

"Don't be anxious." The man restrained his joking tone and said again: "My grandma is still intriguing recently, so I can't just say it directly. When she calms down in a few days, I will tell her the truth."

"Really?"

"certainly."

Well, listening to Li Jun's promise, Xia Chaolu could only believe it. She hung up the phone helplessly, leaning against the window and looking disappointed.

In recent days, Gu Yining's phone has not been able to be connected. She sent a message, but he ignored none of it. Xia Chaolu sighed and wondered why she fell in love with such a reluctant man?!

At that time, the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

After Li Jun hung up Xia Chaolu's phone call, the smile on his lips gradually became calm. He stood there, then put his phone back in his pocket, turned around and walked towards the elevator.

There was another figure in front of the elevator door in front of him. Li Jun raised his eyebrows and looked over, and happened to see the cold eyes of the man looking over.

Li Jun lowered his eyebrows, stepped forward with a smile, and took the initiative to say hello, "Mr. Gu."

In front of the elevator door, Gu Yining put one hand in his pocket. When he saw the man walking in front of him, his thin lips couldn't help but curl, "Junior Li."

"I didn't expect to meet you here. It's such a coincidence." Li Jun put his hands in his pockets, his tone sounded gentle.

The elevator door slowly opened, Gu Yining stepped in, and Li Jun followed in. Although the man beside him looked gentle, Gu Yining still read the other from the smile on his lips.

"Did Mr. Gu come to have dinner alone? Why didn't you see Miss Dong?" Li Jun bent his thin lips slightly, and his tone was gentle.

Hearing his question, Gu Yining's dark eyes sank, "Young Master Li is also alone, don't you take care of your fiancée?"

The expressions of the two men seemed to have no ups and downs, but there was a certain emotion in each other's eyes. Li Jun smiled and shrugged, saying, "Lulu has been busy with her artists recently, so where can she have time to have dinner with me."

"Is that true?" Gu Yining smiled faintly, something suddenly flashed in his introverted eyes. He lowered his head and played with the phone in his palm, and whispered: "But Li Er Shao's fiancée seems to like calling her ex-boyfriend very much. Do you know this?"

It seemed that Gu Yining could point it in person, and Li Jun's deep eyebrows and eyes fluctuated for a moment. Then he smiled faintly and whispered, "You should know Lulu's personality. She is always very enthusiastic about people. We have an agreement between us, and we do not restrict each other before getting married. But after getting married, I believe that she will become a competent Mrs. Li!"

Mrs. Li's words made Gu Yining squint his eyes instantly. He smiled in agreement, "So that's it. I didn't expect that Li Er Shao could tolerate his fiancée so much and not dislike him!"

Li Jun naturally understood his words "disgusted". The two men also looked calm, and there seemed to be no fluctuations at all, but Li Jun's hands, which were hanging beside him, had already clenched into fists.

bite!

The elevator door opened, Li Jun pursed his lips, greeted the man beside him first, and then strode away.

After a moment, the elevator door closed, and Gu Yining, who was standing inside, had a cold face like ice, and was so cold that there was no trace of temperature.

The selection of the film queen is about to begin, and Xia Chaolu has been busy working until late at night for several days. Today, she finally came to an end when she finally got her job on time.

When she drove home, Xia Chaolu opened the door tiredly. Before she could gain a foothold, someone came over and hugged her, "Sister, why did you go home?"

The boy in front of her was already one head taller. Xia Chaolu looked up at her brother, her face full of fatigue was hidden, "Why are you back? Today is the weekend?"

"Yes," Xia Yang nodded, bent down and took out the slippers from the shoe cabinet, and put them directly in front of Xia Chaoli. "I heard from my second sister that you have been out early and come back late recently, and you stayed up all night the day before yesterday."

After changing his shoes, Xia Chaolu pulled his younger brother into the living room and smiled and said, "Well, the artist I brought recently will win awards, and many things need to be prepared."

"It's time to eat." When Xia Qiong came out with dinner, she happened to see that everyone in her family was all there.

The aroma of food was wafting in the restaurant, Xia Chaolu quickly ran to wash her hands. When she pulled open the chair and sat down, there was already a hot beef hotpot in the middle of the table.

Xia Chaolu picked up the chopsticks and was about to start moving, but was pulled by her younger brother, "Wait."

Seeing her younger brother running into the kitchen mysteriously, Xia Chaolu couldn't help but hold her lips and smile. The younger brother, who was only at her shoulder back then, is now one head taller than her. Not only is he handsome, but his academic performance is also very good.

"Here, roast goose legs." Xia Yang put the food box on the table and said, "Sister, I went to Chen Ji's house to queue up to buy it. I know I like it, so I bought a lot."

"Wow--"

Xia Chaolu exclaimed and smiled, "We Xiaoyang has indeed grown up and I know I feel sorry for my sister."

"Of course." Xia Yang nodded sensiblely, suddenly reached out and held Xia Chaolu's shoulders, and said, "Sister, I know that it is very hard and difficult for you to make money to support me and my second sister over the years. But you don't have to work hard for too long. After I graduate, I will make money to support my family and support you and your second sister."

Over the past six years, Xia Chaolu gave up her studies, gave up love, and was willing to start from the bottom. In the two years she had just been in the entertainment industry, she had really suffered a lot, looked at her many eyes, and suffered a lot of grievances. I still remember that the first New Year when the three of them arrived abroad, only dumplings were eaten on the night of New Year. At that time, Xia Yang was young and wanted to eat roast goose legs, but she really had no extra money. That night, the three of them hugged each other and cried. It was also from that moment that Xia Chaolu vowed to make a name for herself and give her younger brothers the best living conditions.

"Xiaoyang." Xia Chaolu's eyes turned red and she reached out to hug her younger brother in her arms. "Sister promised her mother that she would raise you well."

"Sister!" Xia Qiong pulled open the chair and ran over with red eyes. The three siblings hugged each other again.

The atmosphere that should have been happy suddenly became sad. Xia Chaolu tried hard to sniff and forced the tears in her eyes back, "Okay, we have all been through the most difficult days, don't cry. Now I'm very happy to see that you are all so well-behaved."

"Sister, second sister." Xia Yang stretched out his arms and hugged the two sisters, and said with a smile: "The three of us must be together forever, forever."

Xia Chaolu smiled and rubbed her brother's hair, "Okay, let's have a meal, your second sister's beef hotpot is about to be cold."

“Yes, eat.”

After the three siblings calmed down, they sat down and started eating. Xia Qiong's cooking skills have always been very good, and tonight's beef hotpot undoubtedly satisfy everyone's cravings.

The next morning, when Xia Chaolu washed up and went downstairs, it was already bright outside. When she was carrying her bag downstairs, she saw Xia Qiong sitting on the sofa looking at her cell phone.

Hearing the footsteps, Xia Qiong raised her face, then quickly put her phone beside her and said, "Sister, are you going out so early?"

"I just received a call and Gan Jia has been nominated for the film queen." Xia Chaolu chose a brightly colored dress today, which matched her very well and was very compatible with her mood.

"Oh, that's great, congratulations."

Seeing that Xia Qiong looked something wrong, Xia Chaolu couldn't help frowning, "Xiaoyang hasn't risen yet?"

"Not yet, he will sleep in at home on weekends."

"Well, let him sleep."

Xia Chaolu nodded and responded, reminding: "Xiaoyang is back home, you should pay attention to the situation of that person. Don't let him see Xiaoyang alone, do you know?"

"I see."

Usually in the morning, Xia Qiong would prepare breakfast early. Xia Chaolu turned her head and glanced at the dining table, but it was unexpectedly empty and there was nothing.

"Oh, I forgot to prepare breakfast." Xia Qiong seemed to have just remembered it and stood up in panic. "Sister, wait a moment, I'll prepare immediately."

"No need." Xia Chaolu grabbed her sister with a slightly dark face, "Second sister, what's the matter hidden from me?"

"Uh...no." Xia Qiong instinctively lowered her head and slammed her hands nervously. She was obviously not telling the truth.

Xia Chaolu pursed her lips and said, "Tell me, what's the matter?"

After a moment, Xia Qiong took a deep breath and slowly raised her eyes, "Sister, have you not read the news this morning?"

"What news?" Xia Chaolu's eyes moved. She was a little excited after receiving the call from Gan Jia's selection, but she didn't have time to read the news this morning.

"That," Xia Qiong lowered her head slightly, pursing her red lips tightly, "Gu Er..."

She paused, then picked up her phone, opened the news page, and said, "The Second Young Master of the Gu family is about to get engaged to the daughter of the Dong family."

“…”

Xia Chaolu opened her eyes wide and looked at the news page that kept jumping out, her face gradually turned pale.

Seeing her sister's expression, Xia Qiong couldn't help but sigh. The three siblings also had a happy family back then. Their parents had a good relationship, but one day their father suddenly said he wanted to divorce his mother and had a decisive and decisive attitude. The mother later learned that the reason why her father wanted to divorce was because there was a woman outside, so she abandoned the family and even wanted three children. Faced with such a ruthless father, the mother chose to commit suicide in despair and sadness. In the summer of that year, she had just been admitted to university, her eldest sister had just graduated from college, and her younger brother was still in junior high school. However, overnight, their world turned upside down and fell apart.

Later, Xia Chaolu took Xia Yang's custody from her father, and the three of them left afar. When the incident happened, Xia Qiong was a little older, so she knew that her sister had a good boyfriend. But after the incident at home, her sister not only broke up with her boyfriend, but also took them away.

Six years have passed in a blink of an eye. Although Xia Chaolu never mentioned it, Xia Qiong knew that her sister always had a knot in her heart. That knot was her boyfriend Gu Yining, the second young master of the Gu family.
