"Chu Lingjue!"
Gu Xiwan couldn't help but call out this name.
Looking in the direction where the sound came from, Chu Lingjue had passed the housekeeper and walked out of the courtyard gate to meet her.
The orange light emitted by the lamp at the entrance of the yard complemented the bright moonlight. The noble and noble Chu Lingjue was bathed in this light, which made Gu Xiwan mistakenly think that she saw a god descending to the mortal world...
Her vision was gradually obscured by shadows, and a cold and alluring fragrance like snow lotus from Tianshan Mountain came to her nose. Only then did Gu Xiwan realize that Chu Lingjue was already standing in front of her.
A chill spreads across the skin.
The coolness came from Chu Lingjue's fingers.
Chu Lingjue gently pinched Gu Xiwan's face with his thumb and index finger, opened his white teeth and thin lips and said,
"Where have you been? Your cell phone can't be connected. You haven't turned on the locating bracelet I gave you. I can't contact you. Don't you know how to borrow someone else's cell phone to call me?"
"My phone was stolen..."
Gu Xiwan took out her mobile phone and waved it in front of Chu Lingjue's eyes.
"..." There was something strange between Chu Lingjue's eyebrows, which looked like an ink painting.
"However, after my phone was stolen, a kind person helped me find it, so it is now in my hands." Gu Xiwan explained awkwardly.
Then, he said guiltily,
"I heard from the housekeeper that you were anxious because you couldn't find me. I'm sorry. My master is right. I am indeed impulsive and too emotional when things happen. Maybe they have seen through my personality and know that I am impulsive. You just lost your ability to think rationally and you dared to act in that not very clever scene to lie to me. If I had just asked someone to borrow a mobile phone to call you, there wouldn't have been such a big misunderstanding."
Gu Xiwan's master?
His wife actually has a master that he never knew about?
They had seen through Gu Xiwan's character and were they acting to deceive her?
Who do they refer to?
What drama did they perform?
What does Gu Xiwan mean by misunderstanding...
Gu Xiwan's words contained so much information and doubts that Chu Lingjue didn't know where to start.
At this time, Gu Xiwan suddenly asked,
"Didn't you say you were waiting for me outside the bathroom at 'Pearl of the City'? Why did you suddenly leave me without saying a word?"
"Because my mother called me and said she was suddenly ill. She said she wanted to see me for the last time."
"ah?!"
Gu Xiwan was so frightened that her eyes were filled with panic.
"Isn't Mom fine this morning? What disease is she suffering from? Where is she now? Is she okay?!"
Chu Lingjue's perfectly carved face showed a hint of helplessness, and he said calmly,
"Mom is as safe and sound as she was this morning. She's asleep."
Gu Xiwan felt more and more confused.
At this time, Butler Cheng came to Gu Xiwan and explained helplessly,
"Speaking of which, the old lady is quite childish sometimes. She knows that the second young lady likes to play nonsense, but she still wants to fight with the second young lady to win or lose by calling the young master. When the old lady made that call to the young master, I was by her side. She was in good health, but she said in an angry tone that she might be dying soon...
The young master is a filial son. Hearing the old lady talking like this, he was surprised not to panic. So the young master hurried home. When he got home, he realized that the old lady was making a bet with the second lady. "
"What kind of bet did my mother-in-law make with Chu Yujiao?" Gu Xiwan asked hurriedly.
"Isn't it just a matter of women competing for favor?"
Butler Cheng shook his head,
"Speaking of which, the second young lady made a bet with the old lady this afternoon. Around three o'clock this afternoon, the second young lady came home and sat with the old lady for a while. The second young lady complained to the old lady that the young master is thinking about you now. , even the old lady’s position in the young master’s heart is not more important than yours; you also know that the old lady is stubborn, but she insists that her position in the young master’s heart is more important than yours...
As a result, neither of the two could beat the other, so the second young lady proposed to make a bet with the old lady. Naturally, the old lady refused to admit defeat and agreed immediately.
The content of their bet is——
When the young master and you go to Ling Xiao's birthday dinner in the evening, see if the old lady can let the young master leave you alone and rush home to see her. "
After hearing what Butler Cheng said, Gu Xiwan understood everything immediately.
really!
Chu Yujiao and Sheng Xinyi had planned the good show tonight. Gu Xiwan's cell phone was stolen, and Chu Lingjue was taken away by the old lady. Every step, Chu Yujiao and Sheng Xinyi were carefully planned and thought out...
At this time, the steward continued,
"Although the young master is eager to see the old lady, the young master has never forgotten you. He called you while driving home, but your mobile phone was turned off and you couldn't get through;
At that time, Ling Xiao was probably surrounded by friends and couldn't hear his cell phone ringing. The young master wanted Ling Xiao to tell you, but he called Ling Xiao's cell phone and Ling Xiao never answered, so the young master had to give The second lady called and asked the second lady to tell you, but the second lady replied to the young master and said that as soon as the young master left, you left on the back. No one knows where you went.
well!
When the young master returned home and found out that the old lady was lying to him, he immediately rushed back to the Pearl of the City to look for you. However, you had disappeared. Only Ling Xiao told the young master that you left alone before he cut the cake. The young master was very anxious. Fortunately, a strange man called him and asked him to go home and wait for you...
That's all. "
Although the butler Cheng's words were simple, Gu Xiwan still figured out the ins and outs of this matter.
Chu Lingjue clearly cared about her so much.
However, if she had not sneaked into Sheng Xinyi's house and discovered the truth, she would not have known how deeply she had misunderstood Chu Lingjue. She might have done something stupid this time...
Gu Xiwan looked away from Butler Cheng's face and looked at Chu Lingjue's extremely handsome face, her eyes could not help but be gentle.
"I'm sorry. It's all my fault for being impulsive. I should have believed in you. If I believed in you, I wouldn't have given opportunities to those with sinister intentions."
"You don't need to apologize to me for something as trivial as this."
Standing in the backlight, Chu Lingjue's eyes, which were originally as cold as ice crystals, reflected the light of the orange-red street lamp, showing a bit of coquettishness and charm that was completely different from his temperament.
Even his voice seemed to be made extraordinarily warm and charming by this coquettishness and charisma,
"Should you explain now why you left without saying goodbye?"
"Yeah." Gu Xiwan nodded.
She opened her petal-like lips and was about to speak when a red Maserati suddenly sped up and stopped suddenly.
"Click!"
Accompanied by this crisp sound, the door of the car's cockpit opened, and then, a slender, snow-white leg poked out of the car, then a luxurious white dress with diamonds, and finally that beautiful face.
"Sheng Xinyi."
Gu Xiwan read out the name lightly.
The next second, her eyebrows were raised coldly and arrogantly, and her eyes suddenly turned cold.
Gu Xiwan was discovered while lurking in Sheng Xinyi's home, and she fled.
But Gu Xiwan was not sure whether Ji Shaoting and Sheng Xinyi had seen her face, or whether her identity had been exposed.
Now it seems that her identity has been exposed, so Sheng Xinyi went to her home in a panic to find out!
Gu Xiwan said silently in her heart——
Sheng Xinyi!
You came just in time!
I was about to expose your conspiracy. Now that you are here, let us confront you face to face!
