Chapter 178 (2/2)
Xiang Chaojue is still so cold, ”very good, very consistent with your temperament.”
People around him all know that he is perfunctory, but Song Wen smiles.
They chatted as they walked, and then sat down behind the screen in the living room. The servant brought them snacks and tea, and reminded them, ”let's wait a long time, and the dinner will begin soon.”
Song Wen is unusually patient. She says directly, ”no problem. Anyway, I'm not hungry.”
She is not interested in those delicacies. It's important to stay with Xiang Chaojue.
The servant, who was also a wise man, quickly stepped down and left the space for the two of them.
It doesn't matter how they talked. The important thing is that Xiang Chaojue didn't get angry in the end.
For Gu luanqing's sake, he put up with it.
The housekeeper received the instruction from Xiang Defeng and immediately went to the waiting room to report, ”young master is already receiving Miss Song, please rest assured.”
”This kid is quite smart. How can I let that kind of woman come to our table to face home? It's like losing our face to face home.” To de Feng cold hum a, has been the face of plate finally show relaxed God who.
Unexpectedly, at the beginning of the banquet, Xiang Chaojue suddenly changed his mind. He ran to Xiang Defeng and took the old man to the study to talk.
”Where is Gu luanqing now? Let her out. ”
He couldn't help it after so long.
He smoked his old pipe to the old man, very calm. He just glanced at Chaojue, and the folds of his eyelids could not cover the sharp eyes in his eyes.
”The dinner will only last for two hours. Do you want to humiliate Xiang for a lifetime, or do you want that woman to stay for two hours?”
It's hard for Xiang Chaojue to make a choice, but he's still not reconciled, ”the two don't conflict.”
”The decision is not in your hands. For me, if she attends, she is insulting me. Now I ask you whether you want this Xiang family who can protect you all your life or a woman who is in trouble. You choose.” Force him to make a choice.
Seeing Xiang Chaojue's embarrassment, Xiang Defeng said again, ”but you can rest assured that she will not break her promise if I say she will be OK. No one will abuse her. It's up to you whether you want to take her or not after that. I won't stop her.”
”But Luan Qing has claustrophobia.” Xiang Chaojue hesitated because he was worried about this.
”It's only two hours. What can happen? Besides, I've turned on the lights for her. How afraid she can be.”
This confrontation was meaningless to Xiang Chaojue. On the contrary, it destroyed his last will to find Gu luanqing. He began to change his mind and think about things.
As long as he gets through these two hours, he will go to Gu luanqing immediately.
Five minutes later, Xiang Chaojue came back downstairs from his study. Song Wen was waiting for him at the end of the stairs. Her brow was slightly wrinkled and she worried about him. ”That's great. I thought what happened to you.”
”Nothing. I just went to talk to my grandfather for a while.” To Chao Jue light, his face is expressionless, let alone can see the anger, his eyes are completely empty, like a walking robot.
Song Wen took his arm, still worried about him, ”he didn't say anything about you.”
”No, you can rest assured.”
Song Wen breathed a sigh of relief, she showed a relaxed smile, ”that's great. Let's go into the restaurant and take a seat. Later, the old man will come downstairs to have dinner.”
”Good.”
The housekeeper bowed to the guests in gorgeous clothes and reached out to the restaurant at the end of the corridor, where the European style table had been set with exquisite head plate. The servants were standing on the left and right, and the chefs were nervously looking at the gorgeous plate, afraid that the color and fragrance would not meet the guests' requirements.
This kind of family dinner, only once a year, so more cautious.
Looking at such an exaggerated and grand display, Xiang Chaojue suddenly remembers the disdain on her face when she took Gu luanqing to a banquet similar to this one.
What she said is still fresh in people's memory. ”Chinese style ostentation is no longer enough. Do these rich people pretend to be forced? All day long they have so many moths. As a result, they still regard the banquet as a place for business. That kind of thing can be done in a coffee shop.”
”So it is.” Xiang Chaojue blurted out the words in his heart.
Song Wen immediately looked at him, ”what did you just say?”
”Nothing. You heard me wrong.”
”Really? Don't lie to me
“……”
In order to do the so-called friendship of the landlords, Xiang Chaojue pulls Song Wen behind the guests instead of robbing them of the limelight. From time to time, he turns his head and looks at the upstairs. The corridor in the railing looks calm.
Where is Gu luanqing?
”Chao Jue, what are you looking at?” Song Wen interrupted his thoughts.
He returned to Chaojue, but his eyes were full of fear.
”Nothing. Let's get in.”
”Good ~”
