"Shh! Don't show off!"
Another person quickly covered the mouth of the man with small eyes, glared at him fiercely, then pushed the man under the table and said:
"Who doesn't know about this yet? Suyou has already spread the news! But no one dares to mention it! Have you forgotten Mr. Jiang? That man is at the peak of the Tribulation Stage! This time he has been in seclusion for more than ten years to reach the Ascension Stage, so be careful with him Get out of seclusion and take your life!"
When the small-eyed man heard this, he didn't need anyone else to cover his mouth. He covered his mouth tightly himself, his eyes widened as he was afraid of making any sound.
Jiang Lianxin was a little at a loss, but it was quickly covered up. The ice crystal four-leaf clover she held was slightly tightened and then loosened.
Luo Heng went up for a formality and presented a box of thousand-year-old cistanche deserticola. He waved the bone fan in his hand gracefully, and his slight smile made the women around him so excited that they couldn't help but bite their handkerchiefs.
Someone suddenly grabbed his sleeve, Luo Heng pulled it back with a smile, turned around, and looked at Jiang Lianxin with a smile.
"Hey, Luo Heng, Zhizhou..." Jiang Lianxin still couldn't help calling Luo Heng.
The head of the Jiang family looked worried. Although he didn't say anything, the expression on his face said everything.
Gu Zhizhou flew bravely, but Luo Heng was carried away when something happened.
The villain in Luo Heng's heart couldn't help but think of this motto, and he accepted his fate to smooth things over for Gu Zhizhou.
"He can't eat spicy food. He just made a bet with me and took a mouthful of hot sauce. He has gone back to drink water now. Don't worry."
"Okay then."
Gu Zhizhou can't eat spicy food?
Jiang Lianxin sneered in her heart.
She might have believed it before, but the waiter just now reported to her that Gu Zhizhou ate two chopsticks of spicy food without changing his expression. Not only did he not find it spicy, he also said that their chef had changed!
How hilarious.
However, although Luo Heng's reason was far-fetched, it also solved the problem for her. At least for the time being, no one would talk about her engagement with Gu Zhizhou.
Returning to his seat, Gu Zhizhou immediately gathered around Luo Heng: "Luo Heng, Luo Heng, I see Jiang Lianxin grabbed you. What did she ask you?"
Luo Heng elegantly picked up the tea cup and took a sip. He found that it was a little cold. He reached out and handed the tea to Gu Zhizhou, signaling with his eyes.
Gu Zhizhou understood instantly, took the tea cup, and respectfully added new tea, "Drink it, warm!"
Luo Heng raised his eyebrows and took a sip, "Actually, I didn't say anything. I just asked you why you were walking so fast without even saying a word to her."
Gu Zhizhou's eyes widened, he shook Luo Heng's sleeves, and asked impatiently: "What about you? How did you respond?"
"I said you ate spicy food and your throat was filled with smoke. You were busy coming back to drink tea to quench your thirst."
"Ah?" Gu Zhizhou was stunned, "No, this is so..." Fake!
Before the last two words were uttered, a boy came dragging a large purple clay pot, "Young Master ordered me to bring tea specially to quench Young Master Gu's thirst!"
Gu Zhizhou was stunned!
He watched the young man remove the spiritual food in front of him, then put down a large pot of tea with a "boom", took out a large teacup and filled half of it, and looked at him with a smile: "Master Gu, drink it!"
Gu Zhizhou's Adam's apple slipped under his gaze. He swallowed hard, picked up the tea cup with trembling hands, and drank it all in one gulp.
Before he could swallow the tea in his mouth, the servant quickly repeated the previous action, "Young Master Gu, please!"
Gu Zhizhou knew that he was in the wrong and could not refuse, so he drank it all in one gulp.
Then pour again, drink again, pour again, drink again...
What goes around comes around.
Gu Zhizhou mechanically repeated the movements in his hands, and the light in his eyes gradually faded until the pot of tea was finished.
The waiter smiled and put the removed food back on the table, and said to Gu Zhizhou thoughtfully: "Young Master Gu, these are the dishes specially ordered by the young master. They are not spicy. I hope you will enjoy them!"
"Hehe, hehe... Thank you, young master, for taking care of me. Thank you... hehe..." Gu Zhizhou stretched out his belly, and his smile was uglier than his pain.
After the boy left, Jiang Qingyu gave a thumbs up without hesitation: "A real man never says no!"
Luo Heng shook his bone fan and smiled with a look of gloating on his face.
Gu Zhizhou stood up and slapped the case: "Are you still laughing!?"
Luo Heng had an innocent face: "Why can't I laugh?"
"Should you laugh?"
Luo Heng: "...shouldn't I laugh?"
Gu Zhizhou's eyes were filled with resentment as he looked at Luo Heng, as if he were looking at his husband who left early and came home late.
"Okay, okay, the corners of my mouth are naturally raised. I didn't smile just now!" Luo Heng was willing to give in.
Bai Xun smiled and said nothing.
He felt quite comfortable with their way of getting along.
In his early years, he read a travelogue. The author of the travelogue named this kind of friendship "harmful friends", which means both harm and friendship, which is quite vivid.
It was noisy here, but Jiang Lianxin was having a hard time on the other side.
After dealing with the female family guests in front of her, she returned to the backyard tiredly. As soon as she entered the courtyard, Aunt Bai was waiting at the entrance.
She called out in confusion: "Mom?"
Aunt Bai had a sullen face and did not respond.
Suddenly she remembered that Aunt Bai never allowed her to call her mother, but she had to call her mother, because calling her mother would make her feel that she could not bear the honor of Mrs. Jiang's family.
Jiang Lianxin felt uneasy and nervous. She walked up to Aunt Bai and said, "Mother - bang!"
A slap fell on the face, and the originally tender and fair face suddenly turned red.
The slap mark was on the right cheek, burning.
Jiang Lianxin's eyes suddenly lost focus, focusing on a stone protruding from the ground, feeling the pain on her face.
With trembling hands, she slowly caressed her cheek, and the sparkling eyes slipped unconsciously.
She seemed to be crying, but the corners of her mouth were rising.
Her voice was also trembling: "Why? What...did I do something wrong?"
She turned sideways and tilted her head. It was unclear whether she was disappointed or sad, but perhaps more disappointed, she questioned.
"You still don't know what's wrong!?"
"How dare I ask mother, what is wrong with my daughter?" Jiang Lianxin refused to give in and retorted.
"Okay! Do you still dare to talk back?" Aunt Bai's face trembled with anger, her red phoenix eyes and big red lips made her face bitter and mean.
After Aunt Bai gave birth to Jiang Lianxin, her figure was no longer what it used to be. Her bloated body was covered with a luxurious dress, like a bucket with gold rim.
She pointed at Jiang Lianxin's forehead and nodded again and again: "You damn girl? Do you know how all this happened to you?"
"It's me! It's me! If I hadn't deceived that bitch fool of the Su family into the Ice Abyss Valley, if I hadn't been saying good things about you in front of your father all the time, if I hadn't given birth to you regardless of everything! Do you think you would still be alive? Can it happen now?"
"How many stumbling blocks have I killed for you? How many treasures of heaven and earth have I bought for you? For you, my appearance, figure, everything has been forgotten! Who am I doing this for? Isn't it you? "
"Lianxin, you have to know that in your father's eyes, I am always a concubine. It is for you that I try my best to please him!"
