Chapter 33 Also known as Uncle Gu
Lu Yuan withdrew his gaze and said, "It's not really acquaintance."
Gu Zhengchen didn't say anything. He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Liang Jingwan's swaying back with a particularly long gaze.
Liang Jingwan walked up to the man, and then the man spoke, "I thought I saw it wrong, but I didn't expect it was really you."
Liang Jingwan smiled slightly and called, "Sister Shu Ning."
"Are you okay?" After saying that, Lu Shuning pointed to the dining area, "Let's chat while we eat?"
Liang Jingwan looked slightly hesitant, "Sorry, Sister Shu Ning, I'm not sure either." She didn't really want to be with Lu Shu Ning.
"How about a cup of coffee?"
After hesitating again and again, not wanting to refuse a second time, Liang Jingwan nodded and agreed, "Okay."
The two of them walked into the dining area, probably because it was still early and there were not many people dining. They took a drink and found a corner to sit down.
"I thought you knew how to drink coffee?" Lu Shuning smiled and kept stirring the coffee in the cup.
"Milk is nutritious."
Hearing Liang Jingwan's answer, Lu Shuning's smile deepened, "Have Jingcheng been in contact with you recently?"
Liang Jingwan shook her head, "We haven't seen each other for a long time."
The most recent contact was when Xi Jingcheng pushed 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 lowered his head to sip, "Jingcheng hasn't been home for a long time."
The sudden words made Liang Jingwan startled, and then she thought that Xi Jingcheng might be staying with his girlfriend, but she couldn't tell Lu Shuning about this, so Liang Jingwan thought carefully about her words, "Maybe with friends."
But after seeing Lu Shuning shaking his head in the affirmative, Liang Jingwan couldn't help but wonder why he was so sure.
“At first, he lost contact and didn’t answer the phone. Later, maybe after I asked around his friends, he sent me a message saying that he had something to do, but when I asked him where he was, he refused to tell me. "Lu Shuning frowned, and was quite troubled by his cousin.
Hearing this, Liang Jingwan could only say with relief, "He may really have something wrong. If he contacts me, I will ask him too."
"Thank you then. Are you still working at Lindu Law Firm?" Lu Shuning raised his eyes and asked.
Liang Jingwan nodded, "Today the organizer invited a lawyer from our law firm to be a legal advisor, and Brother Xu An arranged for me."
"I thought you came with Mr. Liang."
Liang Jingwan was absentmindedly drinking milk from her cup, and suddenly heard Lu Shuning's question, and the milk choked into her nose.
"Should you and Jingcheng get engaged in advance?"
Liang Jingwan quickly reached out to pull the napkin on the table and blocked her nose, but the smell of milk had spread to the entire skull cavity, and she didn't have time to pay attention. She asked tentatively, "Why did Sister Shu Ning say that?"
Lu Shuning lowered his head and took out a newspaper from the handbag beside him and handed it over.
Liang Jingwan saw at a glance that the title above was "The Crown Prince of the Xi family has changed his taste a lot, and the innocent female kindergarten teacher has a night party", and the corner of her mouth couldn't help but twitch.
"This is a report I stopped after seeing it before."
Only then did Liang Jingwan realize that Lu Shuning was the editor-in-chief of the magazine, so she would naturally know about it immediately. She thought of the newspaper that was sent to Xu Yan, but the two newspapers were at different times.
Liang Jingwan lowered her head and looked at the photo in the newspaper carefully. Different from Xu Yan's photo, the newspaper in front of her showed two clear faces, Xi Jingcheng and Su Rong. The two leaned on each other, very sweet.
"What does this mean?" She raised her eyes and looked at Lu Shuning. Lu Shuning pursed her lips and said, "When I saw it, I also sent a copy to your parents."
Looking at Liang Jingwan's increasingly gloomy expression, Lu Shuning explained, "I just want to use your parents to let Jingcheng go home as soon as possible,"
"But later when Jingcheng came to visit, I found that the Liang family didn't seem to have any reaction, so I guessed that your parents had hid it from you, so I sent one copy to your friend Miss Xu, but hers was two copies. It was photographed once again by Tianhou Entertainment, I..."
Liang Jingwan interrupted Lu Shuning, "What does Miss Lu mean?"
"After you and Jing Cheng got engaged, he gave up." Seeing Liang Jingwan's straightforward words, Lu Shuning also answered directly.
When Liang Jingwan heard this, she couldn't help but sneer, "Miss Lu is so capable and dares to confirm that I can make Xi Jingcheng feel at ease."
Lu Shuning's eyebrows were calm, "I don't know if you can, but the Liang family can definitely do it."
"I'm sorry, Miss Lu, it's impossible for you to try to bring Xi Jingcheng back through me or the Liang family. I'm not the kind of person who wants second-hand goods, and the Liang family doesn't want any uncle. This marriage, I won’t order it.”
"Don't you, the 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 intervene in the affairs of the Zhengxun Mansion with your hands and eyes."
"The engagement is good for you and the Liang family." Lu Shuning calmly took a sip of coffee and said slowly.
"Not getting engaged is not bad for me or the Liang family."
After saying these words, Liang Jingwan turned around and left, leaving Lu Shuning sitting alone, lowering her head and sipping the coffee in the cup.
Liang Jingwan walked out of the dining area aggressively, but after a moment, she calmed down when she saw the person in front of her.
"Director Gu."
"What happened?" Gu Zhengchen put his left hand in his trouser pocket, held a cigarette between the two fingers of his right hand, and was lighting the ashes aside.
"It's okay." Liang Jingwan shook her head, "I have some work to do beforehand."
This was an excuse. Gu Zhengchen heard it, so he spoke slowly, "Legal Counselor, I have a legal problem. 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 and agreed.
But Liang Jingwan discovered that they were getting farther and farther away, and there were fewer and fewer people around them. She looked back and asked, "Did we go too far?"
Gu Zhengchen did not answer the question, but looked down at her, waiting for her to look back, "Were you in a bad mood just now?"
Liang Jingwan happened to turn around and saw the person in front of her lowering her head and looking at her intently.
Liang Jingwan's heart skipped two beats, and then she took a small step back. Her face flushed unnaturally, and her ears were also dyed red. Thinking that Gu Zhengchen was the Uncle Gu that Xi Jingcheng called him, she couldn't help but said sarcastically, "It's nothing." , Uncle Gu.”
When Gu Zhengchen heard this title, he was startled for a moment, and then his eyes filled with smiles. He couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth, lowering his chin and laughing a few times.
It was rare for Liang Jingwan to see him smiling so heartily, and she unconsciously raised the corners of her lips, but...she thought of Lu Shuning's words, and immediately made up her mind.
The smile on Gu Zhengchen's lips disappeared, and as if he could see through Liang Jingwan's mind, he asked with a hint of meaning, "Is your unhappiness related to Xi Jingcheng?"
