Chapter 18 Not a Local(1/2)
All the dresses in Mu Xiangqing's room were for appreciation, and she had never worn them.
But that doesn't stop Zhong Nanming and Mu Qingsong from having their clothes sent to them every quarter, thinking about what Mu Xiangqing would wear to a banquet one day.
Lu Rifeng did not hesitate to praise Hong Andong, "An Tong, you are very beautiful today."
"Thank you." Hong Antong curled his lips slightly.
Lu Rifeng added, "Ruxuan was in front and was entangled by her cousins."
"oh."
This is the reason why Mu Xiangqing doesn't really want to come. She is most annoyed by places where relationships are messy and there are many people. Most people have their own purposes.
Lu Rifeng knew that Mu Xiangqing was not in high spirits, so he gestured to the balcony on the left with his right hand holding the champagne, "The small balcony over there is very quiet. You go over there first, and I will get you drinks."
But some people don't want Mu Xiangqing to be quiet.
As soon as Lu Rifeng left, someone came up to chat with Mu Xiangqing and Hong Antong.
Looking at the boy blocking them in front of him, who was tall and thin with ordinary facial features, Mu Xiangqing looked at Hong Antong with a questioning look in his eyes.
Hong Antong replied, "I haven't seen it."
Mu Xiangqing didn't know much about the children of wealthy families in Jing City, but Hong Antong went to banquets with his mother Zhong Keqi from time to time, and he knew many people, especially the daughters of wealthy families of the same age. He had basically met all the famous ones.
That's why Mu Xiangqing asked her. She had never seen Hong Antong before. Either she was not a local or she came from a small family.
But no matter who he was, Mu Xiangqing didn't want to pay attention to him. He turned back and said coldly, "Get out of the way."
"Hello, my name is Gu Chong. I wonder what the names of the two young ladies are?" Gu Chong stretched out his right hand and raised a smile.
Mu Xiangqing still didn't mean to pay attention. Seeing that the other party didn't move, she wanted to go around, but the other party also moved. His cold eyes were covered with a layer of frost, and his voice was lowered, "Get out of the way."
Hong Antong on the side already knew that Mu Xiangqing was on the verge of anger. If the boy in front of him didn't leave, he would be embarrassed.
Gu Chong thought the girl was being reserved, so he spoke in a gentler voice, "Miss, I don't mean any harm, I just want to be friends with you."
As soon as the other party came in, Gu Chong was attracted by the cool and delicate appearance of the girl in front of him. Even if she was simply wearing casual clothes, he could not stop her charm.
However, Gu Chong thought that she came in to attend the banquet.
"I'm not interested." Mu Xiangqing said patiently and wanted to leave.
Gu Chong took another step forward and stopped, "Miss, why don't you give me a chance? I sincerely want to be friends with you."
Mu Xiangqing originally wanted to watch Cui Ruxuan's birthday party without causing any trouble, but now she couldn't bear it any longer. She raised her thick eyelashes, her eyes were piercing, and her aura was full, "Your existence disgusts me."
,roll."
Gu Chong was frightened. At this moment, he felt an unprecedented chill, sweeping through his body. His feet were frozen and he couldn't move. He just watched the person in front of him leave.
Hong Antong followed Mu Xiangqing away without squinting. She had seen this kind of situation too many times.
After the two of them left, Gu Chong's friend came to see him and saw a frightened look on his face.
"What's wrong?"
Gu Chong suddenly came back to his senses. When he came to his senses, he felt so embarrassed and angry. So he put the fright behind him and gritted his teeth and said, "I was tricked by a woman just now."
"It is rare for a prince in love to be tricked by a woman."
"Which woman is so bold and dares to play tricks on Mr. Gu?"
Gu Chong didn't answer. He turned around and looked around. After a while, a smirk appeared in his eyes, "I found it. Follow me."
Lu Rifeng came back with drinks, and Gu Chong arrived with his two friends.
Mu Xiangqing ignored them, took the champagne from Lu Rifeng, and turned to look at the scenery outside.
Lu Rifeng thought that they also wanted to come here to see the scenery, so it was not easy to drive them away, provided they did not disturb Mu Xiangqing.
Hong Antong took the champagne and said, "I'm here to pester Ah Qing."
Lu Rifeng's face darkened, but before he could speak, he heard, "It's none of your business, go away."
Lu Rifeng's eyes dimmed, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, with a hint of chill. He slowly turned around and looked at the three people in front of him, "Aren't you a local?"
Although he was asking, his tone was very firm.
"You can't afford to offend me. Get out of here." Gu Chong stepped forward and stretched out his hand to push.
Lu Rifeng did not dodge, but raised his hand and waved.
Gu Chong was pushed away and staggered back two steps. If the two people behind him hadn't supported him, he would have fallen ugly.
Gu Chong's face suddenly turned as black as ink. He felt humiliated and became angry. He quickly stood up straight and said, "I, Gu Chong, am from Bei'an. How dare you offend me."
"I'm from Bei'an. I've never heard of my surname Gu." The smile on Lu Rifeng's face faded, and he spoke each word slowly, with a strong and cold tone. His eyes darkened, and the atmosphere around him changed, "Now
You, get out of here."
An invisible pressure pressed down on Gu Chong and the three of them, as if they were being pressed up under water, and their chests felt uncomfortable.
Gu Chong was shocked. He came from the capital Bei'an. Although his family could not arrange a big family in Bei'an, the average family in Bei'an was somewhat stronger than the families in other places.
He has met many children from wealthy families in Bei'an, but there are very few children of the same age who can give him such a strong sense of oppression, unless they are from the top four families.
Gu Chong's current fear evoked the chill that the cold girl gave him just now.
Chen Chen and the other five people also came forward. They had actually seen Mu Xiangqing coming a long time ago and knew that she didn't like many people, so they didn't follow Lu Rifeng. However, they came over when they saw someone bothering them.
Gu Chong saw five more people appear, and the momentum of the three of them disappeared instantly.
"You are here."
A brisk voice broke in, breaking the oppressive silence and saving Gu Chong and the three of them in disguise.
Cui Ruxuan walked over and looked around. Sensing the awkwardness in the atmosphere, she looked at Gu Chong and said, "Master Gu, my cousin and the others are inside."
Although his tone did not have any ups and downs and was considered gentle, his intention to chase away guests was obvious.
Gu Chong kept in mind what his family said to him before going out. When he came to Jing City, the people of the five major families could not afford to offend him.
Cui Ruxuan cannot be offended.
And since there are so many people on the other side, retreating is the best option.
Gu Chong quickly answered with a smile, "Okay, Miss Cui, let's go over first and you can talk."
After the three people left, Cui Ruxuan asked, "What happened?"
"It's okay, beautiful Ruxuan, happy birthday." Lu Rifeng instantly changed his expression to happy, "You are so beautiful today."
At the same time, Lu Rifeng motioned to Chen Chen and the others to go in first.
Today, Cui Ruxuan wore a tube top purple gradient dress, showing nobility and elegance. Her waist-length hair was slightly curled, she had her hair styled like a princess, and she wore a pink diamond crown.
Hong Antong also said, "Ruxuan, happy birthday."
Mu Xiangqing also turned around and said, "Happy birthday."
Seeing that they didn't mention it, Cui Ruxuan didn't ask any questions, and raised a sweet smile, "Thank you, let's go in, the party has started."
Although Mu Xiangqing didn't like to be crowded with so many people, it was hard to dampen Cui Ruxuan's mood when people came.
The four people immediately attracted everyone's attention as soon as they entered.
"Mu Xiangqing is really here."
"There's nothing strange about this. She and Cui Ruxuan have been playing together since childhood."
"But I heard that their relationship is not good."
"I've also heard that, if you look so good now, you must be pretending. How can there be sincerity in a big family?"
"Don't care if you are really nice or just pretending, in short, we can't afford to offend either of them."
"But why isn't Mu Xiangqing wearing a dress?"
"Mu Xiangqing always does things based on her mood, so it's good to be here."
"Second Young Master Lu is so handsome."
"You can only appreciate it, but you can't afford to climb up to the Lu family."
"Who knows, maybe Second Young Master Lu likes my delicate look."
"Sister, please wake up. Look, not to mention Miss Cui and Miss Mu, even the decent and dignified Hong Antong is countless times more beautiful than you. It's good to have dreams, but they must be realistic."
"Second Young Master Lu and Mu Xiangqing are the best. Who do you think he likes?"
"Don't talk nonsense. There are many people from Deyuan Class 11. It's not good for them to hear you."
Gu Chong and the other three were listening in the crowd and couldn't help but curiously asked the people around them, "Which one is Mu Xiangqing?"
Before Gu Chong came to Jing City, he only knew that he could not get people from the five major families, and the one he could not offend the most was Mu Xiangqing.
The man glanced at Gu Chong and said, "Not a local?"
"He's from Bei'an."
When the man heard that Bei'an was coming, he immediately put aside his contempt and explained, "The beautiful woman walking with Miss Cui, wearing casual clothes and with shoulder-length hair, is Mu Xiangqing."
When Gu Chong heard this, his heart suddenly lifted, and he asked again, "Where is that boy?"
