Song Qiao was sitting in the car, staring at the iron gate outside and the people coming in and out. He didn't move for a long time, and his mind began to think about how to escape from here.
Apart from anything else, she came to his family banquet as Gu Jingting's female companion. What was going on? The relationship between the two didn't seem to be at this level at all.
Gu Jingting pushed the door open and walked around the back of the car to Song Qiao. Seeing that she was still in the car and not moving, he reached out and knocked on the window.
Song Qiao frowned and was forced to lower the car window to look at him.
"Come down," he said.
Song Qiao tried to struggle, "Mr. Gu, when I came here I didn't expect that I would be attending your family banquet. I feel that this seems a bit inappropriate..."
"Don't make me say it a third time, get off the car." Gu Jingting didn't listen to her at all.
Song Qiao gritted her teeth and had no choice but to open the door and go out. When she stood beside him, she found a new excuse, "By the way, I remembered, the crew..."
"Anything that needs to be done, you can tell Xiang Chen and I will let him help you solve it." Gu Jingting said, directly cutting off all her escape routes.
"..."
Song Qiao forced a smile and muttered, "There must be some things that Assistant Xiang can't accomplish."
"For example?" Gu Jingting lowered his head and asked.
Song Qiao ran around in his mind, trying to find something to refute, but found that with Gu Jingting's power, there seemed to be nothing that could affect him.
It seems that there is no way to escape today.
She let out a long sigh and turned to look at Gu Jingting, "It's okay, let's go."
Gu Jingting turned sideways and slightly bent his arm. Song Qiao stretched out his hand to hold his arm, and the two walked into the Gu family mansion together.
When you walk into the gate, you can see endless lawns on both sides. Both sides of the road are arranged according to color and filled with various flowers. Gardeners and servants shuttle between them to tidy up the lawn.
Looking forward, there is a four-story white villa. Next to it, there are several independent small buildings. It looks more like a separate villa area.
As expected of the Gu family, even the residence is so luxurious.
Song Qiao secretly looked at it and followed him into the hall. There were already guests passing through, the lights were bright, and the glasses were intertwined. Their appearance immediately attracted the attention of others.
"Mr. Gu is back."
"Jing Ting, it's rare that you're free today."
"Who is this?"
The guests immediately gathered around and greeted Gu Jingting with wine glasses in their hands with smiles on their faces. Some of them cast curious glances when they spotted Song Qiao next to him.
After all, Gu Jingting had attended banquets before, either alone or with Xiang Chen. This was the first time that he brought a woman to the banquet.
Could it be said that he is going to make some noise?
Gu Jingting's face was dull, and he didn't care about the many teasing questions. He just replied, "The old lady at home wants me to come back, so of course I have to obey. You guys talk first, I will go see her."
After finishing his words, his eyes signaled others to get out of the way.
Wherever the guests dared to stop him, they all moved to both sides to give way.
Gu Jingting led Song Qiao out of the encirclement, took her to the corner, and whispered, "There are many people today and it's a bit chaotic. You stay here for now. I'll come find you later."
Song Qiao wished she could separate from him quickly. Wherever this man went, there would be crowds of people focusing on him. She really couldn't bear those eyes.
"Okay, go ahead." She nodded.
When Gu Jingting heard this, he stood still for a long time, even squinting his eyes to look at her. Suddenly, he lowered his head and came closer, instantly closing the distance between the two.
So close...Song Qiao could feel the heat of his breath spraying on her cheeks.
She was startled and took half a step back, "What are you doing?"
Gu Jingting's dark eyes were locked on hers, and he stretched out his hand to pinch Song Qiao's chin, "You look like you are expecting me to leave quickly?"
Otherwise?
Song Qiao secretly rolled her eyes. She was not stupid enough to argue with Gu Jingting. She took a breath and explained, "No, Mr. Gu is wrong. You'd better go quickly."
Do you think he is blind?
Gu Jingting raised his eyebrows, wanting to tear off her mask of disguise, but after thinking about it, he thought it was very interesting that she was clearly unwilling but still wanted to please him against her will.
He didn't pursue it further, "Stay here and don't wander around."
Song Qiao, "Okay."
Gu Jingting left quickly. Song Qiao took a quick look and found no one she knew at all. She was afraid that wandering around would cause trouble for herself, so she simply walked to the long table, picked up a piece of dessert and ate it slowly.
She hadn't even had a drink of water since morning, and her stomach was already growling with hunger.
Before taking a few bites, a dark shadow suddenly appeared in front of her eyes. Song Qiao lowered her eyes and looked at the skirts of dresses of various colors. She looked at the dessert in her hand with some regret, as she seemed unable to continue eating.
Since she followed Gu Jingting to the banquet, it would definitely arouse the dissatisfaction of other women who were eyeing her. Those who came here now were probably looking for trouble.
"Hey, are you polite enough to say hello to someone you see?"
Song Qiao thought for a little longer and heard someone dissatisfied with the question.
She put down the plate slowly and looked up at each other. There were four or five people, all wearing high-end dresses and exquisite makeup, but it was obvious that they were all holding the person in the middle.
Song Qiao shifted his gaze and looked at the person closest to him.
She was wearing a small white dress, with the hem of the skirt spread out like an umbrella. Her hair was combed into a bun with a small crown on her head. Her cute and cute face was filled with arrogance and disdain.
"Where did you come from, a wild cat and a wild dog, and you dare to follow brother Jing Ting?" she asked.
Song Qiao smiled and asked instead, "What does this have to do with you? Besides, if you curse people when we meet, you must not be a daughter of a good family, right?"
"After all, from my understanding, all the wealthy families in Haicheng pay attention to quality."
This was as close as pointing the woman to her face and telling her that she was uneducated. How could she bear it? She yelled angrily, "Who do you think you are? You dare to fight against me?"
Wen Shuya's face was livid, and she raised her hand to slap Song Qiao in the face.
Song Qiao had been on guard against her move for a long time, and quickly dodged it sideways, with a more serious look on his face, "I'm just stating the facts, now I can't bear to hit someone?"
Wen Shuya was even more angry when her attempt failed.
She simply didn't bother to do it herself, and took two steps back to yell at the women around her, "Why are you still standing there, hold her down!"
When the others heard this, they rushed forward to arrest Song Qiao.
The veins on Song Qiao's forehead twitched twice, and he grabbed one of them and pushed him back hard. Several people immediately became confused, and the commotion attracted guests to watch.
Wen Shuya secretly scolded them for being useless. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a servant passing by, picked up the wine glass from the tray, and poured it at Song Qiao.
