Chapter 152: Encountering My Ex-Husband by Occasion
In the evening, Gu Nianxi walked out of the house wearing a business suit. As soon as she got into the taxi, she received a call from Zhao Zimu.
Zhao Zimu said that Tudou was sick and he could not attend tonight's dinner. Gu Nianxi was ruthlessly let go.
Gu Nianxi rubbed her temples with a headache in the car and went to the restaurant alone.
Xiangyue House is a well-known private restaurant in S city. It is located at the top of the remote Jinshan Mountain. When driving halfway up the mountain, Gu Nianxi saw a residential area. The gate of the community was very grand. There were two handsome guys at the door, one and a half meters tall.
Miba, wearing a black suit, stood at the guard booths on both sides. This place completely presents the high-end luxury residence.
"Jinshan Villa?"
The name sounded familiar, but Gu Nianxi couldn't remember where she had heard it before. Just when she was curious, the driver started chatting with her.
"All the rich people live here. I heard that when this place was for sale, it was sold out in seconds. You said that we ordinary people have worked hard for a whole life for a house. People can buy villas and houses in just a few seconds. Alas, the people inside and
We are two worlds."
The driver sighed, but Gu Nianxi didn't answer and just smiled politely.
Suddenly, Gu Nianxi thought of something, looked back at Jinshan Villa, and hurriedly asked the driver to stop.
"Miss, what's wrong?"
"Master, please drive the car to the entrance of Jinshan Villa."
"Ah? Miss, you are not allowed inside."
"I'm not going in, please drive to the door and I'll just take a look."
The driver drove the car to Jinshan Courtyard suspiciously. As soon as the car stopped, Gu Nianxi got out of the car.
She stood at the gate and stared for a long time, feeling very sad.
It turns out that this is the home Su's father gave them in City S. This is her first time here.
When she came back this time, she specifically returned the house to Su's father.
Gu Nianxi got into the car in a depressed mood. The driver didn't dare to ask any questions and drove away in a muffled voice.
The car stopped at the entrance of Xiangyue Building. Gu Nianxi walked into the restaurant. She specifically looked at the text message Zhao Zimu sent her and confirmed the name of the private room again. The waiter led her up to the second floor and walked to the private room "Fu Sheng Ruo Meng".
Gu Nianxi arrived neither early nor late. When she entered the private room, there were three people sitting on the sofa chatting.
They looked up when they saw someone coming in. One of the men stood up immediately when he saw Gu Nianxi.
"Gu Nianxi!"
"Lu Zhiyao?"
Gu Nianxi was surprised to meet Lu Zhiyao here. He walked up to her with a smile and spoke to her softly.
"Zhao Zimu asked me to help you stop drinking."
Gu Nianxi raised her eyes and looked at him with questions on her face, "You? Help me stop drinking?"
Lu Zhiyao smiled and nodded. He was genuinely happy to see Gu Nianxi today.
When Zhao Zimu called him and entrusted him with this task, he pushed another dinner party over without saying a word.
"I'm quite familiar with them, let me introduce them to you."
"Thanks."
Lu Zhiyao is a second-generation official. Now he is engaged in construction engineering business. He has abundant natural resources and wide connections. He knows everyone who came today. Lu Zhiyao led Gu Nianxi to greet everyone at the dinner table one by one.
Gu Nianxi couldn't help but think to herself that the substitute Zhao Zimu had found was really useful.
During the meal, Gu Nianxi and Lu Zhiyao naturally sat next to each other. In fact, they had known each other for seven or eight years, so they were considered old acquaintances.
Lu Zhiyao chased Gu Nianxi for two years when she was in college. Gu Nianxi never called him, so he gave up. But for Lu Zhiyao, what he can't get is definitely the best, so what he saw today
When Gu Nianxi returned from the United States, he was a little moved again.
During the banquet, Lu Zhiyao took great care of Gu Nianxi. He helped stop almost everyone else's drinks. Everyone saw the unnatural relationship between them and made fun of him and Gu Nianxi.
"Mr. Lu, what are you planning to do by protecting Miss Gu like this?"
Until the matter was revealed, Gu Nianxi could still pretend not to notice Lu Zhiyao's overtures, but when it was put on the table, she couldn't pretend anymore.
"No, no, Gu Nianxi is Zhao Zimu's sister. I came here today to promise to take good care of her. Zhao Zimu's sister is my sister." Lu Zhiyao was afraid that Gu Nianxi would be shy, so he quickly came to the rescue.
"Oh? That's not necessarily the case."
Seeing this situation, Gu Nianxi couldn't help but stand up. She picked up the white wine glass and stood up.
"Mr. Liu, Lu Zhiyao and I have been friends for many years. Please don't make fun of us. Let me toast you with a toast to make up for my previous rudeness."
After Gu Nianxi finished speaking, she drank a glass of wine.
Her drinking behavior frightened the people at the table, and even the men at their table did not dare to drink a glass of liquor easily.
"Miss Gu has a good drinking capacity."
"No, I don't really drink. I'm just happy."
Gu Nianxi sat down, and Lu Zhiyao approached her ear with concern and asked, "Are you okay?"
He was so close, which made Gu Nianxi feel a little uncomfortable. She subconsciously leaned back and said, "It's okay."
After that, there were a group of men chatting about a lot of topics at the dinner table. Gu Nianxi couldn't say a word and only occasionally drank a few drinks with them. When Lu Zhiyao saw her grabbing a drink from him, he couldn't act like a hero anymore, so he just watched Gu Nianxi drink a few drinks.
One cup, a thousand cups to keep you from getting drunk, he also lost the opportunity to help her drink.
Gu Nianxi stared at the empty chair opposite, and couldn't help but be curious. The meal was already halfway through, so the person in the empty seat probably wouldn't come.
Just as I was thinking about it, the door to the private room was pushed open, and the waiter led a person in.
"Sorry, I'm late."
Hearing the sound of the subwoofer, Gu Nianxi's scalp suddenly went numb. She looked towards the door and saw Su Yuheng standing there in a suit and leather shoes.
The two looked at each other, and Su Yuheng looked at her with the same look in his eyes.
"Mr. Su! Sit over here."
Lu Zhiyao, who was beside Gu Nianxi, walked up to Su Yuheng in a few steps, held his hand enthusiastically, and invited him to sit on the empty seat opposite Gu Nianxi.
Su Yuheng's arrival made the men at the table greet him enthusiastically, as if they were drunk.
Gu Nianxi felt as if she was sitting on pins and needles in her seat. She was sitting opposite him, and there was nothing she could do if she didn't want to look at him. She couldn't eat with her eyes closed.
Su Yuheng didn't expect to meet Gu Nianxi today. He reluctantly came to this dinner, mainly because Lu Zhiyao was responsible for his project and was close to home, so he forced himself to go out, but he didn't expect to meet her.
He looked at Gu Nianxi and noticed that she was unnatural. He cast his gaze on Lu Zhiyao next to her. He turned his head and was talking to Gu Nianxi. The distance between the two was unreasonable and the intimacy was provocative.
Disgusted.
Could it be that the person she was talking about getting married to was Lu Zhiyao?
"How's it going? What else do you want to drink? Do you want a glass of watermelon juice?" Lu Zhiyao asked Gu Nianxi as gently as water.
"Okay, thank you."
After Su Yuheng appeared, Gu Nianxi no longer refused Lu Zhiyao's kindness. She deliberately got close to Lu Zhiyao. Her pink face looked extremely charming under the light. Her smile made Lu Zhiyao bump into each other, and the relationship between the two people
There was an air of ambiguity flowing around, making others jealous.
"Xiao Gu, I respect you."
A man at the table held up a wine glass and invited Gu Nianxi to drink. As soon as Lu Zhiyao picked up the wine glass, he was attacked by a group of people.
"Hey, hey, Mr. Lu, you are wrong. Xiao Gu can drink it himself, but you insist on buying it for him. Tell me honestly, what is the relationship between you two?"
"It's just that Mr. Lu didn't eat a bite of the food today, so he gave Dr. Gu a drink instead."
"us--"
Just when Lu Zhiyao was about to explain, Gu Nianxi put her hand on the back of his hand and stopped him from talking.
"Lu Zhiyao is worried that I will lose my temper after drinking too much. The leaders should not be offended. I will punish myself with one drink."
Gu Nianxi said nothing and drank a glass of white wine. She frowned slightly and pretended to be weak. Lu Zhiyao quickly held her arm to support her limp body.
Everyone at the table saw Gu Nianxi and Lu Zhiyao's intimate behavior and made fun of them.
"I see, Mr. Lu is going to treat us to a wedding banquet at the end of this year."
"Come on, let's just choose a different day. Let's have a drink here."
A few years ago, at Zhao Zimu's wedding, she and Lu Zhiyao were provoked by classmate Zhao Zimu to have a drink with each other. Gu Nianxi refused to agree because Su Yuheng was sitting there and looking at her at that time.
Today we have to face the drama of the past again.
Gu Nianxi and Lu Zhiyao were in a dilemma under the commotion of a group of people.
Lu Zhiyao's regret was that he was the best man for Gu Nianxi last time, but he didn't even get to drink.
Su Yuheng sat there, his back molars clenching loudly.
The woman sitting opposite him is no longer the Gu Nianxi she used to be. She has learned how to deal with a group of men with ease, and also learned how to smile at men. She must know that her smile just now will make the person next to her
Men are obedient to her.
Su Yuheng's hands placed under the table were squeezed tightly. He remained silent and stared at Gu Nianxi with fire in his eyes.
How dare she try to drink that damn cup of wine!
"How about a drink, come on."
Su Yuheng was still betting on whether she would do this, but he didn't expect Gu Nianxi to pick up the wine glass faster than he thought.
Lu Zhiyao looked at Gu Nianxi with a silly expression, as if the words "happiness came too soon" were written on his face.
"When Zhao Zimu got married, I was too young to have a drink with you. Let's make up for it today."
Gu Nianxi rambled nonsense, and after she finished speaking, she felt a little regretful. Could she make up for it with a glass of wine? She was really lacking in brains.
Amidst the applause of a group of people, Lu Zhiyao picked up his wine glass as if stunned. His eyes kept looking at Gu Nianxi, completely immersed in a state of selflessness.
Gu Nianxi and Lu Zhiyao's arms hooked together, and the people at the table held their breath as they watched their heads almost touch each other. At the most exciting moment, crisp applause sounded in the private room.
One after another, clear and powerful.
Gu Nianxi was stunned for a moment, then looked over and saw Su Yuheng clapping his hands and standing up. As soon as he stood up, she gave people a terrible sense of oppression. For some reason, the wine glass in her hand slipped from her palm and spilled all over her body.
liquor.
"Oh, what a pity. I originally wanted to say a few words of congratulations to you two, but it seems that I can't drink this wine."
Su Yuheng's words were so sour that it made his stomach hurt. Gu Nianxi turned her face away from him and turned red with anger.
"It doesn't matter, let's have another drink."
Gu Nianxi ignored him, quickly picked up the beer glass in front of Lu Zhiyao's table and passed it around Lu Zhiyao's arm.
"Drink."
"Nian Nian, you can't be a bartender." Lu Zhiyao remembered that Gu Nianxi told him that she couldn't be a bartender.
As the saying goes, impulse is the devil. In order to compete with Su Yuheng, Gu Nianxi didn't care about anything.
She didn't care whether she could mix the wine, or whether the cup she drank was from Lu Zhiyao's cup.
