Lu Xueshi kept watching Gu Ningning.
He felt a bit relieved when he saw that her expression didn’t change at all when Lu Jingchen was mentioned.
“En, if Yu Lili likes Jingchen, I’ll tell Grandpa.” Lu Xueshi’s reply was half-hearted; he was more concerned about Shen Xiuxiu’s matter.
“Oh, no, that’s not necessary, I was just joking.” Yu Lili got anxious. She thought about the conversation she’d overheard in the car earlier and felt that Lu Xueshi must have an issue, which meant he wasn’t absolutely set on Gu Ningning.
If that were the case, Yu Lili might have a chance too.
Gu Ningning didn’t say anything further.
She took out a Centenary Spirit men’s watch from her pocket: “Oh, by the way, Brother Xueshi, I had someone buy you a watch. See if you like it?”
She handed it directly to Lu Xueshi.
Looking at the watch, Lu Xueshi’s eyes lit up.
This watch was hard to buy.
He fell in love with it at first sight.
He raised his hand to take it: “Thank you, Ningning, I like it very much.”
“Then, Brother Xueshi, you must always wear it.” Gu Ningning said with a beaming smile, her face full of satisfaction, “That way, when you see the watch, it’s like seeing me.”
When she spoke, her little face was a bit red.
This was something she had taken from the Xiao Family’s belongings.
She wanted to make Lu Xueshi suffer.
Lu Xueshi also had a smile on his face, his eyes shining.
He knew that Gu Ningning cared about him very much.
This watch cost over three thousand yuan.
He couldn’t bear to buy it himself.
He eagerly took off the watch on his wrist and put on the one Gu Ningning gave him.
His eyes and brows were full of smiles.
Yu Lili, standing by, watched with envy.
“And also,” Gu Ningning said earnestly, “Brother Xueshi, you should stay away from Xiuxiu from now on. The way she looks at you now isn’t quite right.”
These words immediately sobered Lu Xueshi: “Ningning, don’t overthink it.”
Gu Ningning consoled herself: “Maybe I am overthinking it. After all, yesterday Xiuxiu was still hugging and kissing Xiao Hongshi, they even kissed.”
She said it as if in a huff.
She pouted as she spoke.
She looked like a spoiled, naive girl who didn’t consider other people’s feelings.
These words, however, made Yu Lili stiffen.
And made Lu Xueshi’s face change drastically.
He wanted to raise his hand to cover Gu Ningning’s mouth, but it was too late.
“But Xiuxiu and Xiao Hongshi also grew up together. Although they’re not exactly a match in social status, Uncle Shen shouldn’t be someone who cares about family background.” Gu Ningning continued speaking to herself, completely ignoring Lu Xueshi’s expression.
She even very sweetly picked up a piece of spare rib for Lu Xueshi.
At this moment, Lu Xueshi’s face was so dark it looked like water could drip from it.
Yet Gu Ningning didn’t notice.
Yu Lili, standing nearby, was so scared she didn’t dare to breathe loudly.
She somewhat regretted coming out.
She really wanted to cover her ears and pretend she hadn’t heard anything.
Gu Ningning continued: “And since they’ve already kissed, they can only be together. After all, we saw it, and Uncle Xiao and Aunt Xiao also saw it. That guy Xiao Hongshi really got a bargain.”
Lu Xueshi was so angry he almost broke the chopsticks in his hand.
He felt again that he shouldn’t bother with an idiot like Gu Ningning.
But the Old Master had given his word: only by marrying Gu Ningning would he get the villa in Chongwen District.
Only then would he get this twenty thousand yuan dowry.
If he didn’t marry her, Lu Jingchen would benefit.
That was absolutely unacceptable.
“Gu Ningning, is what you’re saying true?” At this moment, someone nearby asked loudly, “Shen Xiuxiu and Xiao Hongshi are together? And they were kissing and hugging? I really didn’t realize our troupe’s star performer liked that kind of person.”
