Xuxu seduces him

Chapter 33 Also Known as Uncle Gu
Lu Yuan retracted his gaze and said, "It's not like we know each other."

Gu Zhengchen did not say anything. He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Liang Jingwan's graceful back with an especially long gaze.

Liang Jingwan walked up to the man, and that person spoke, “I thought I saw it wrong, but I didn’t expect it was really you.”

Liang Jingwan smiled faintly and called, "Sister Shu Ning."

"Do you have anything else to say?" Lu Shuning pointed to the dining area and said, "Shall we talk while we eat?"

Liang Jingwan looked a little hesitant, "I'm sorry, Sister Shuning, I'm not sure either." She didn't really want to be with Lu Shuning.

"How about a cup of coffee?"

After hesitating for a long time, Liang Jingwan couldn't refuse for the second time, so she nodded and agreed, "Okay."

The two walked into the dining area. Perhaps because it was still early, there were not many people dining there. They took a drink and found a corner to sit down.

"I thought you knew how to drink coffee?" Lu Shuning smiled and stirred the coffee in the cup.

“Milk is nutritious.”

Hearing Liang Jingwan's answer, Lu Shuning's smile deepened, "Has Jingcheng contacted you recently?"

Liang Jingwan shook her head, "We haven't seen each other for a long time."

The last time they had contact was when Xi Jingcheng pushed the message to her on WeChat, which was more than ten days ago.

Lu Shuning looked a little disappointed. He picked up the cup with his right hand and sipped it. "Jingcheng hasn't been home for a long time."

The sudden words startled Liang Jingwan, and then she thought that Xi Jingcheng might be with his girlfriend, but she couldn't tell Lu Shuning about this, so Liang Jingwan chose her words carefully, "Maybe he was with a friend."

But after seeing Lu Shuning shaking his head affirmatively, Liang Jingwan couldn't help but wonder why he was so sure.

"At first we lost contact and he didn't answer the phone. Later, maybe after I asked around among his friends, he sent me a message saying that he was busy. But when I asked him where he was, he refused to tell me." Lu Shuning frowned, and was quite annoyed with his cousin.

Hearing this, Liang Jingwan could only comfort him, “He might really have something wrong. If he contacts me, I will ask him too.”

"Thank you very much. Are you still working at Lindu Law Firm?" Lu Shuning asked.

Liang Jingwan nodded, "Today the organizer invited lawyers from our law firm to be legal advisors, and Brother Xu An arranged for me."

"I thought you came with Liang."

Liang Jingwan was absent-mindedly drinking the milk in the cup. Suddenly she heard Lu Shuning's question and the milk went into her nose.

"Do you and Jingcheng want to get engaged early?"

Liang Jingwan quickly reached out to pull the napkin on the table and stuffed it into her nose, but the smell of milk had already spread to her entire cranial cavity. She didn't have time to do anything about it, so she asked tentatively, "Why did Sister Shu Ning say that?"

Lu Shuning lowered his head, took out a newspaper from the handbag at his side and handed it over.

Liang Jingwan saw at a glance the title above: "The Xi family's prince has changed his taste and has a night out with an innocent female kindergarten teacher." The corners of her mouth couldn't help but twitch.

"This is the report I saw earlier and then stopped."

Liang Jingwan then realized that Lu Shuning was the editor-in-chief of the magazine, so he would naturally have a way to know it first. She thought of the newspaper sent to Xu Yan, but the time periods of the two newspapers were different.

Liang Jingwan lowered her head and looked carefully at the photo in the newspaper. Unlike the one with Xu Yan, the one in front of her showed two clear faces, Xi Jingcheng and Su Rong. The two of them were leaning against each other, looking very sweet.

"What does this mean?" She looked up at Lu Shuning. Lu Shuning pursed his lips and said, "When I saw it, I also sent a copy to your parents."

Looking at Liang Jingwan's gradually gloomy face, Lu Shuning explained, "I just want to borrow your parents to let Jingcheng go home as soon as possible."

"But after Jing Cheng came to visit, I found that your Liang family didn't seem to react, so I guessed that your parents kept it a secret from you, so I sent a copy to your friend Miss Xu as well. However, her copy was taken by a reporter two days later, so I..."

Liang Jingwan interrupted Lu Shuning and asked, "What does Miss Lu mean?"

"After you and Jingcheng got engaged, he gave up." Seeing Liang Jingwan's straightforward words, Lu Shuning also answered directly.

Liang Jingwan couldn't help but sneered when she heard this, "Ms. Lu is so capable that she dares to confirm that I can make Xi Jingcheng settle down."

Lu Shuning's expression was calm. "I don't know if you can do it, but the Liang family can definitely do it."

"I'm sorry, Miss Lu, you want to use me or the Liang family to try to bring Xi Jingcheng back, but it's impossible. I'm not the kind of person who wants second-hand goods, and the Liang family doesn't want any son-in-law. I won't arrange this marriage."

"Don't you Liang family want to start construction in Lincheng?"

Liang Jingwan put her hands on the table and stood up. "I want to see if you, Miss Lu, can interfere with the affairs of the government."

"Engagement is good for you and the Liang family." Lu Shuning calmly took a sip of coffee and said slowly.

"Not getting engaged won't be bad for me or the Liang family."

After saying this, Liang Jingwan turned and left, leaving Lu Shuning sitting there alone, sipping the coffee in his cup with his head down.

Liang Jingwan walked out of the dining area angrily, but after a moment, she saw the person in front of her and restrained her expression.

"Director Gu."

"What happened?" Gu Zhengchen put his left hand in his trouser pocket, holding a cigarette between the two fingers of his right hand, and was lighting the ash to the side.

"It's okay." Liang Jingwan shook her head, "I have something else to do first."

Gu Zhengchen could tell that this was an excuse, so he spoke slowly, "Legal advisor, I have a legal question. Can I consult you?"

Liang Jingwan paused and took a deep breath, "What legal problems does Director Gu have?"

"Let's talk while walking?"

Liang Jingwan nodded to show her agreement.

But Liang Jingwan found that they were getting farther and farther away, and there were fewer and fewer people around them. She looked back and asked, "Have we gone too far?"

Gu Zhengchen did not answer this question, but lowered his head to look at her, waiting for her to turn around, "You were not in a good mood just now?"

Liang Jingwan happened to turn around and saw the person in front of her lowering his head, staring at her without blinking.

Liang Jingwan's heart skipped two beats, and then she took a small step back. Her face flushed unnaturally, and her ears were also stained red. Thinking that Gu Zhengchen was the uncle Gu called by Xi Jingcheng, she couldn't help but sarcastically said, "Nothing, Uncle Gu."

When Gu Zhengchen heard this name, he was stunned at first, then a smile filled his eyes, and he couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth and laughed a few times with his chin lowered.

Liang Jingwan rarely saw him laughing so happily, and she couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth, but... she remembered Lu Shuning's words and then evened it out.

The smile on Gu Zhengchen's face disappeared, as if he could see through Liang Jingwan's mind, and asked meaningfully, "Is your unhappiness related to Xi Jingcheng?"
