Gu Ningning had long noticed that the people at the next table were acquaintances.
And they were all jealous of Shen Xiuxiu.
“Ningning, what nonsense are you spouting!” Lu Xueshi couldn’t hold back any longer and flared up directly, “You, like this, will ruin Xiuxiu.”
“I, I didn’t say anything wrong!” Gu Ningning’s eyes instantly turned red, seemingly badly frightened, and she spoke cautiously.
She edged closer to Yu Lili.
Yu Lili was also scared; she had a very good impression of Lu Xueshi before, thinking him gentle and refined.
But now, with him flaring up like this, he was no better than Lu Jingchen.
Wang Haixia from the next table laughed, “Ningning, why is your boyfriend so fierce!”
Her eyes were full of gossip.
But the way she looked at Gu Ningning was as if she were looking at an idiot.
They all knew that Lu Xueshi often picked up and dropped off Shen Xiuxiu.
Of course, Gu Ningning also knew; they had reminded Gu Ningning before to be careful.
But this idiot had said they had ill intentions, harbored malice, and were speculating on her and Shen Xiuxiu’s revolutionary friendship.
After that, they never spoke of it again.
Today, they heard such juicy gossip.
Gu Ningning looked eagerly at Lu Xueshi: “Brother Xueshi, you’re so fierce. Everything I said is true, they were… kissing very passionately yesterday.”
In everyone’s eyes, she was an idiot.
So, it was fine for her to speak more directly, more uninhibitedly.
This way, the time, place, and people were all revealed.
Everyone also got the full scoop.
Wang Haixia’s smile deepened, her eyes full of calculation.
With a “smack!”, Lu Xueshi slammed down his chopsticks.
This time, he didn’t try to coax Gu Ningning anymore.
He always felt that Gu Ningning was doing it on purpose.
But then he also felt that she didn’t have such a scheming mind.
After all, she was stupid and foolish.
“Lu Xueshi, do you really need to go that far?” Wang Haixia scoffed, “Gu Ningning just spoke the truth, and Gu Ningning is your girlfriend. Who is Shen Xiuxiu to you that you need to get so angry!”
As she spoke, she rolled her eyes.
In the Cultural Troupe, Shen Xiuxiu always outshone them, whether in looks, family background, or personal ability.
They had always been annoyed.
Now, finally, there was some gossip that could bring Shen Xiuxiu down a peg.
Xiao Hongshi, everyone in the circle knew, was a good-for-nothing, like a hooligan.
Tsk tsk tsk, being with such a character, her life was pretty much ruined.
Gu Ningning went with the flow, tears immediately gushing out, looking particularly heartbroken: “Brother Xueshi, you’re being mean to me for Xiuxiu!”
As she spoke, she pulled Yu Lili, “Let’s go.”
In fact, Yu Lili also broke out in a cold sweat.
When immortals fight, this little devil was truly afraid of getting caught in the crossfire.
“Ningning, maybe your boyfriend didn’t mean anything else,” Yu Lili said cautiously.
Between Gu Ningning and Shen Xiuxiu, she would choose Shen Xiuxiu with her eyes closed.
After all, that was Chief Shen’s daughter.
Gu Ningning was nothing.
Lu Xueshi’s forehead throbbed; he was really angry.
He had tried every possible way to make Shen Xiuxiu distance herself from the Xiao Family, but unexpectedly, things went against his wishes.
Now, there was no way to distance themselves.
The Xiao Family was even more insistent.
Shen Xiuxiu and Xiao Hongshi had no choice.
Lu Xueshi wanted to tear Gu Ningning apart.
He couldn’t suppress his anger: “Gu Ningning, you’re just jealous of Xiuxiu, you did it on purpose!”
“Brother Xueshi, you actually think that of me, I, I didn’t.” Gu Ningning cried profusely, feeling extremely wronged, “I really didn’t, if you don’t believe me, I’ll go apologize to Xiuxiu right now.”
She had been pinching her own thigh the whole time to cry so smoothly.
Her thigh was probably bruised.
Lu Xueshi was truly angry; his white moonlight, the woman he wanted to protect for a lifetime, was actually going to marry another man.
He couldn’t bear it.
He no longer wanted to coax Gu Ningning.
“Ningning, find a way to make the Xiao Family back down, otherwise, let’s not get engaged either.” Lu Xueshi said cruelly, he had had enough.
During this time, nothing had gone smoothly.
Although Gu Ningning acted as if she couldn’t do without him, she seemed to be manipulating him everywhere.
This time, he had to get a handle on Gu Ningning.
“Brother Xueshi, I, I’ll go find Xiuxiu now.” Gu Ningning didn’t eat anymore, she got up and left, crying sorrowfully.
It didn’t affect her beauty; instead, it added a touch of fragility.
She was so pitiful.
But Lu Xueshi didn’t fall for it at all.
He just watched her coldly.
This time Gu Ningning didn’t pull Yu Lili; she ran out of the restaurant by herself.
She had to leave Yu Lili behind to comfort Lu Xueshi.
Let this lackey of Shen Xiuxiu perform well.
Preferably to the point of getting into bed.
After leaving the restaurant, Gu Ningning’s tears stopped. She only felt hatred for Lu Xueshi, not a shred of grievance.
She walked quickly towards the bus stop.
But after only a few steps, a jeep stopped beside her.
Lu Jingchen poked his head out and looked at Gu Ningning: “Ningning, what’s wrong? Have you been crying?”
He was actually waiting here on purpose.
Knowing what happened at the Xiao Family yesterday, he was afraid Gu Ningning would be bullied.
From the moment Lu Xueshi picked her up from school, he had been watching from the side.
In his mind, Gu Ningning was his woman, even though she refused to marry him.
But he only recognized her.
After all, he had always liked her quite a bit.
“Brother Jingchen.” Gu Ningning was quite surprised; she felt that her chances of encountering Lu Jingchen were somewhat high.
Although they had a one-night stand, she didn’t want to bring it up.
Lu Jingchen gripped the steering wheel tightly: “Did Big Brother bully you? Why?”
He knew that what happened that night would definitely affect Lu Xueshi and Gu Ningning.
This was originally Lu Xueshi’s scheme.
Although the two of them hadn’t admitted to having a relationship, how could Lu Xueshi not know? And how could he not care?
“Get in.” Lu Jingchen looked at Gu Ningning’s red eyes, feeling uneasy.
He didn’t understand what she was going to do.
But he knew that she had no intention of harming him.
“I…” Gu Ningning stopped acting in front of Lu Jingchen, “I’m going to the Military District Compound to find Shen Xiuxiu and apologize to her.”
The four words “apologize to her” were spoken with particular emphasis.
Lu Jingchen’s eyes darkened.
He looked deeply at Gu Ningning, who was getting into the passenger seat: “How will you apologize? I’ll help you!”
He didn’t want Gu Ningning to suffer.
As he spoke, he started the car and headed towards the Military District Compound.
Shen Xiuxiu didn’t go to work; she went straight home.
Shen Zhengshan’s status meant he lived in a villa area, a detached house.
At this moment, Shen Xiuxiu was also physically and mentally exhausted.
Thinking of Mother Xiao’s words, she hated her to death.
Now, she could only wait for Lu Xueshi to resolve the situation.
She believed that Lu Xueshi would definitely find a way to control Gu Ningning.
Shen Xiuxiu, who was rubbing her forehead and irritably drinking tea, heard a burst of crying.
There were also many people gathered around.
They were all saying something.
At this moment, Shen Xiuxiu had a gut feeling it concerned her.
And she had a bad premonition.
