Chapter 80 Door-to-door request
Gu Xueying only felt a heat gradually spreading from her ears to her whole body. She wanted to struggle, but she was controlled harder by the other party.
Just when she felt like she was about to suffocate to death, Gu Yuji suddenly let go.
Gu Xueying retorted with red eyes: "I don't know what you are talking about. I never thought of provoking you."
"Really?"
Gu Xueying wanted to continue to refute, but she was stared at by Gu Yuji. She was so frightened that she swallowed her words and lowered her head to avoid looking. Just when Gu Xueying thought she would be stared into by him, Gu Yuji suddenly laughed, and then Gu Xueying felt the warm touch on her forehead.
"Bad thing, if you don't want her to come back, then what price are you willing to pay?"
"I..." Gu Xueying didn't know for a moment whether Gu Yuji was really willing to help her.
Gu Yuji didn't seem to be in a hurry and said, "Think about it slowly."
Gu Xueying was gently pulled aside by his movements.
The door opened and closed, and she was the only one left in the house.
Gu Yuji had obviously left the room, but Gu Xueying still felt the lingering scent of sandalwood lingering on her nose.
She stood there, and after a long time, she seemed to have finally found her strength, and looked at the cloakroom not far away. There were gorgeous clothes and jewelry in it. Just one piece of clothing might be comparable to the wealth that an ordinary person would spend a lifetime striving for.
Gu Xueying reached out and pinched the necklace pendant around her neck.
This necklace was a birthday gift from Gu Yuji. It was said to be handmade. The pendants were two long-haired figures, a man and a woman. One had a bird on his head, and the other had a clay pot on his head.
Gu Xueying didn't know what the pendant pattern meant, so she could only attribute it to the artist's peculiar taste.
She didn't like the necklace and was afraid of Gu Yuji.
But what she is more afraid of is: "I don't want to live in poverty."
There was no audience left in the room, and the low murmur gradually dissipated in the air.
Xu Youyou didn't know about the storm in the Gu family, so she sent Zhao Menglian away. She thought she could be clean for a while, but she didn't expect any guests to come to the door in person.
"Mr. Lu? Are you back from Gan Province so soon?" Xu Youyou asked.
Lu Jingyao said: "I followed your travel guide for five days, but I really couldn't squeeze in more time. The company's affairs didn't wait for anyone, so I had to return to Shanghai early."
Xu Youyou knew that he was a busy man, unlike himself who made money by picking up leaks, and a flash of sympathy suddenly flashed in his eyes.
Lu Jingyao rarely visits empty-handed, so this time he brought a gift, which was a set of the four treasures of the study.
Xu Youyou frowned slightly, wondering how the news of her learning calligraphy reached Lu Jingyao's ears. She couldn't help but suspect that there was a mole in the family.
Lu Jingyao explained: "I also studied calligraphy with Teacher Zhang, and I happened to meet him downstairs. I heard him mention you and praised you for being a late learner, but you are very talented. I didn't expect that we would become the same master." Brother and sister.”
Lu Jingyao didn't lie either. This coincidence made him feel outrageous.
Of course, if Lu Jingyao hadn't owned a house in this building, there would have been no chance of him meeting Teacher Zhang.
Xu Youyou felt relieved and said: "I couldn't understand the beauty of calligraphy before. Recently, I got a new collection and I can deeply understand its beauty."
Lu Jingyao's eyes lit up and he asked, "Can I take a look?"
Xu Youyou did not refuse. After all, if this Zeng Gong family letter was to be auctioned in the future, Lu Jingyao might be one of the bidders.
"The words are refined and delicate, the writing is coherent, smooth and graceful, and it is unique and majestic. It is truly a masterpiece handed down from generation to generation." Lu Jingyao praised it repeatedly.
Xu Youyou feels similar to him, but due to her cultural level, she can't speak these words of praise as smoothly as he does. But every time she saw it, Xu Youyou couldn't help but admire it. She had copied it in private, but in the end, she only succeeded in feeling the differences in the world.
She had dealt with jade jewelry and handed-down porcelain in the past. Although she was shocked by the beauty of the treasure's light, she had never wanted to keep it as her own and was unwilling to sell the work like this calligraphy.
"If one day, Miss Xu wants to auction this painting, she must inform me in advance." Lu Jingyao was afraid of missing the auction.
Xu Youyou nodded: "Don't worry."
Although she particularly likes this calligraphy, she is still a common person after all. Her favorite thing is always money. Even though there are many zeros in her account now, she still feels that it is not enough.
"I came here rashly today. Actually, I have something to ask for. The assistant who has been acting as my female companion is on vacation. I won't be able to find a suitable female companion for a while. I hope you can come to the rescue and accompany me to attend the performance tomorrow night." Lu Jingyao said suddenly.
Xu Youyou gave him a confused look. Compared to the prosperity of the upper class, she still preferred to stay at home. After all, the few upper class banquets in the past did not bring her many good memories.
"It's not like you're abroad, so you still need a female companion?"
Lu Jingyao lowered his head slightly and followed Assistant Liu's instructions and said with a bit of pity: "Except for you, I have almost no other female friends. Maybe my request is too presumptuous. Maybe you don't think I am a friend."
Xu Youyou:......
Xu Youyou felt as if there was a scent of tea lingering on the tip of her nose.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
But for adults, it seems normal to use emotions to maintain interests. Xu Youyou thought that Lu Jingyao was a big customer, and he was the one who sent away those Japanese people for the big business before. Extremely inhumane.
"You said so, why should I make it difficult for you." Xu Youyou said politely.
She looked at Lu Jingyao's eyes and suddenly lit up.
"I don't even know how to thank you." After Lu Jingyao said his request, he left without going overboard in inviting Xu Youyou to dine.
Early the next morning, as soon as Xu Youyou got up, the housekeeper Sister Zhang said with a smile: "Boss, Mr. Lu has invited the styling team to come to the house for the dinner tonight. Although they came early, Mr. Lu gave instructions in advance. Throughout the day They only serve you, so you don’t have to rush.”
Xu Youyou nodded casually and asked, "Remember to entertain them well."
Sister Zhang said: "Don't worry, I know what's appropriate. But speaking of which, Mr. Lu really values you."
Xu Youyou is young and beautiful, and she and Lu Jingyao look like a perfect couple when they stand together. Sister Zhang also hopes that the two of them will make good things happen.
Xu Youyou shook her head and said, "He doesn't value me, but he values this dinner."
She couldn't help but think of the dinner party she attended abroad. It was said that the business she won was the most important deal of the Lu Group in the past three years.
Xu Youyou still thinks that Lu Jingyao is a businessman, but a businessman who spends money very generously.
Although she likes fancy clothes and jewelry, it is inevitable that she will think too much about these dazzling lights, but she always warns her repeatedly that she can afford these things herself, and she must not treat Lu Jingyao differently because of the filter of fancy clothes. thought.
Xu Youyou only met the styling team after having breakfast, but after hearing their self-introductions, she couldn't help but be surprised.
"Lan Yu Studio?"
Xiyu, the chief stylist of Lanyu Studio, said with a smile: "Ms. Xu has also heard of us? That is really our honor."
Lan Yu Studio is the top styling team in the country. It is said that it is extremely difficult to hire. Xu Youyou should not have known about them, but in her previous life, when Gu Xueying got married, she wanted to ask Lan Yu Studio to create an exclusive look for her, but she was rejected.
Gu Xueying made a bad face for many days because of this incident. It was not until her fiancé spent a lot of money to hire a top styling team from abroad that he allowed her to show off her beauty again.
Xu Youyou didn't expect that she would meet this top team before a dinner party.
She became more and more certain: this dinner must be particularly important!
