Chapter 89: Always Standing There, Won't Leave
The next second, the radiance on her face dissipated, and even her whole temperament dimmed.
The others who saw this scene all showed at a loss expressions.
In such an upper-class wine party, it is normal for single men to bring female companions to participate. It is not necessarily that everyone is in an intimate relationship, but at this time, the two looked at each other with lingering affection, and the girl's eyes looking at Jiang Cheng were unusually lingering.
The relationship between the two is clearly not simple.
Shen Ci looked at Gu Lianxing with some worry, and just when she wanted to say something, she saw Gu Lianxing suddenly tidy up her appearance, then put on a suitable smile again, and walked quickly towards Jiang Cheng.
"Lian..."
Before Shen Ci's words came out, she found that Gu Lianxing's back revealed a stubbornness at this time.
This made her even more worried.
Several good sisters also observed the trend nervously, and couldn't help but say: "Is Brother Jiang Cheng in love?"
"Don't know, it's too sudden!"
"If it's really a girlfriend, what should Lianxing do..."
Jiang Cheng was greeting Gu Shangyou and Mrs. Gu at this time. His voice was as gentle as his person, and he said appropriately: "Uncle and Aunt, my second uncle asked me to apologize to you on his behalf. He was allergic a few days ago, and the doctor ordered him not to drink for half a month, so I came here on his behalf to congratulate Uncle and Aunt on their relocation."
Gu Shangyou and Mrs. Gu were shocked when they heard this, and hurriedly cared: "Chairman Jiang is allergic? Is it serious?"
"If it wasn't serious, he would have come himself today," Jiang Cheng said truthfully: "Sudden anaphylactic shock, almost life-threatening. But fortunately, there is no danger, Uncle and Aunt don't have to worry."
Only then did the Gu Shangyou couple nod with relief. Mrs. Gu noticed the girl beside Jiang Cheng, her expression flashed with surprise, and she was about to ask a question, but saw her daughter walking towards them, so she subconsciously stopped her voice.
They knew that their daughter liked Jiang Cheng.
Who knows, Mrs. Gu didn't ask, but Jiang Cheng took the initiative to introduce out of cultivation: "Introduce to Uncle and Aunt, this is my fiancée, Tian Tian."
This sentence was not loud or small, just falling into Gu Lianxing's ears, making her outer shell, which was pretending to be tough, shatter.
She stopped abruptly behind Jiang Cheng, her legs as if filled with lead, unable to take another step forward.
Good news, not a girlfriend.
Bad news, is a fiancée.
Even more uncompromising than she expected.
Mrs. Gu saw her daughter's astonishment and the gradually reddening corners of her eyes, and felt distressed in her heart. But she could only show a stiff and awkward smile on the surface: "Are you going to get engaged?"
"Yes, Aunt, we will get engaged in the middle of the month. You and Uncle must come then," Jiang Cheng invited with a smile.
Mrs. Gu nodded, and looked up at her daughter again, only to find that her daughter had disappeared.
Gu Shangyou sighed slightly, but Jiang Cheng was already going to get engaged, so he couldn't say anything more, and could only silently feel distressed for his daughter in his heart.
Gu Lianxing almost fled back to the villa. Shen Ci, who had been silently paying attention to her, saw this and hurriedly chased in.
All the way to Gu Lianxing's room on the third floor, Shen Ci was afraid that something would happen to her, so she hurriedly patted the door: "Lianxing, Lianxing, are you inside? It's Shen Ci!"
"Lianxing?"
Shen Ci called while patting the door. As a result, the door was pushed open by itself after two pats. Shen Ci went straight into the room but did not find Gu Lianxing's figure.
The cloakroom and bathroom were all searched, and Gu Lianxing was not found.
She exited the room and shouted a few more times in the corridor, but did not get Gu Lianxing's response. But as an outsider, she couldn't rashly look for it room by room.
What's more, this villa has at least dozens of rooms, and it is not realistic for her to look for it one by one.
Perhaps, she just wants to be quiet alone?
Shen Ci calmed down and let herself not be worried. She went downstairs and returned to the front yard. Her gaze subconsciously swept across the crowd pushing cups and changing cups, and finally settled on Jiang Lingchuan.
He was holding a tray and serving guests.
"Jiang Lingchuan." Shen Ci suddenly spoke when she came to him, which startled Jiang Lingchuan. His hand shook, and the cocktail on the tray spilled out uncontrollably.
"W-what's wrong, classmate Shen Ci." He hurriedly stabilized and looked at Shen Ci and asked.
Shen Ci whispered: "Lianxing is in a bad mood and hid. If you see her, remember to tell me."
"In a bad mood? What's wrong with her?" Jiang Lingchuan's expression was visibly nervous when he heard this.
Seeing his reaction so big, Shen Ci stared at him for a few seconds.
And feeling Shen Ci's gaze, Jiang Lingchuan dodged his eyes in hindsight and said: "I mean, is she, is she okay?"
"If she's okay, who would hide?"
"I'll go find her." Jiang Lingchuan put the tray in his hand on the lawn and ran towards the villa.
Shen Ci was worried about Gu Lianxing, and her interest was gone in an instant. She simply found a quiet corner and sat down casually.
After Jiang Lingchuan entered the villa, he didn't look around like a headless fly, but ran directly to the top floor. The door to the villa rooftop was ajar. Seeing this, Jiang Lingchuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
She is still the same as before, hiding on the rooftop to blow cold wind when she is in a bad mood.
On the rooftop is an open-air outdoor swimming pool. Gu Lianxing's thin back was curled up on the lounge chair, and her whole person was wrapped in huge sadness, like a poor little rabbit.
Hearing the approaching footsteps, she slowly raised her head. Jiang Lingchuan stopped and didn't dare to go up again, just staring at her straight.
"It's really you."
Gu Lianxing opened her mouth weakly, her tone a bit impatient: "It's you who finds me every time."
Jiang Lingchuan was a bit at a loss when he heard this, his mouth moved, and he said softly: "Classmate Shen Ci is worried about you, so I..."
"I want to be alone for a while." Gu Lianxing buried her head in her knees. Her shoulders trembled slightly, and she sobbed silently.
Jiang Lingchuan looked at her from afar, his heart aching under his lenses, but his feet never dared to take a step forward.
Just like Gu Lianxing looking at Jiang Cheng from behind.
After a while, he turned to leave, but heard Gu Lianxing suddenly call him: "Don't go."
Jiang Lingchuan subconsciously wanted to turn back when he heard this, and heard Gu Lianxing order him: "Don't look back either, just stand like this, just stand there..."
Jiang Lingchuan really didn't move again, standing with his back to Gu Lianxing at a distance of less than ten meters from her.
Gu Lianxing didn't speak again, buried her head and continued to shed tears unscrupulously, as if she wanted to discharge all the sadness in her heart through tears. And she also knew that Jiang Lingchuan had been standing there and would not leave. ===== CHAPTER 90 =====
