On the way to the next table, Su Muqing felt something was strange, so he stopped Luo Keke and asked softly, "Have you noticed that every time we toast, they look at us with unhappy faces and always look in Jiang Qi's direction. Madam Jing did the same just now."
"Really? I didn't notice it." Luo Keke said and looked up in the direction of Mrs. Jing.
Su Muqing knew Rococo's personality, she was carefree and wouldn't care about these small things. "Why?" Su Muqing murmured softly, frowning as he thought.
At this moment, Rococo's voice interrupted her thoughts: "Hey, what else could it be?"
Su Muqing looked at her, and Luo Keke continued, "Did you cause trouble for her in the beginning? I told you. She is an elder in our circle, and her image and reputation are so good. There is no one who doesn't like her. It would be strange if they would treat her well after you caused her so much trouble just now."
"I already said it wasn't me." Su Muqing wanted to defend himself.
"Okay, okay, I know it wasn't you, it was Grandpa Gu." Luo Keke said as he held her back to comfort her. "Although it didn't work. But I felt really relieved at the time. Why don't we think about how to disgust her again later?"
"Keke." Su Muqing called her urgently, stopping her from talking.
"Okay, okay. I know. The overall situation is important. We can't make things too ugly today." Luo Keke quickly comforted her. After saying that, she stuck out her tongue and made a face.
Then they went to the next table.
Until finally they arrived at the table of Jiang Qi and Tang Xin.
When they went over, Jiang Qi and Tang Xin were talking happily. They were talking about something, but they were both smiling. Su Muqing looked at Jiang Qi and was stunned for a moment. The emotions that she had just suppressed began to spread again, and her thoughts began to become chaotic. What did she and Gu Jingcheng do just now?
Tang Xin noticed someone approaching, looked up at them, and after seeing the two of them clearly, the smile on her face visibly disappeared, she sat up straight but didn't move or speak, just looked at them quietly, waiting for them to explain their intentions or take the next step.
Jiang Qi noticed that Tang Xin looked a little strange, so she turned her head and looked behind her. After seeing who it was, she immediately put on a gentle smile, stood up, took a step closer to them, and said in a very intimate tone, "You're here." Every word and action was graceful and dignified without any hint of rudeness.
But Su Muqing was sure that the moment Jiang Qi turned around and saw that it was them, the disgust that flashed across her eyes was extremely obvious, and she was definitely not wrong.
Luo Keke at the side couldn't help but shudder. She and Jiang Qi had never gotten along since they were little. Although the woman looked at them with a smile in her eyes, she didn't feel a trace of friendliness.
But with Jiang Qi in this state, Su Muqing had no choice but to cooperate and smiled as she talked to her: "I'm sorry for not being nice enough. Please forgive me."
"How could that be? Gu Jingcheng treated me very well." Jiang Qi continued to smile and didn't feel that there was anything wrong with what she said.
"Really?" Su Muqing's tone was a little stiff at the moment. But he continued to speak in a kind tone: "That's good. Is the food good? If you need anything, just tell me directly. If I can't take care of you, don't take it to heart." Su Muqing said polite words in general situations.
Most people would just go along with her. But Jiang Qi didn't intend to be polite with her, and directly took over the conversation: "It's great that you can do it like this, it's really hard for you. How can I take it to heart."
These words, like those of a master, were undoubtedly a provocation to Su Muqing, but she could only pretend not to hear it: "What's so hard about it? This is what I should do."
"Heh." Jiang Qi chuckled and just looked at her for a while without saying anything else.
Su Muqing also wore high heels today. Although she was still a little shorter than Jiang Qi, the difference was not too obvious. But at this moment, she felt that this person was looking down at her from a high place, and she felt inexplicably flustered. This person just looked at her quietly without saying anything, and his eyes were gentle. But she felt that Jiang Qi had a strong aura. It was a bit like the feeling that the lady gave her. She was looked down at like this, as if she was completely naked and exposed to the sun, with nothing to hide.
Luo Keke stood quietly beside Jiang Qi from the moment she saw her. She didn't even dare to make a sound. She was afraid of Jiang Qi. She just thought she didn't like this person when she was young. It wasn't until she grew up that she realized she was afraid of her. As she got to know her more and got older, she became afraid of her. She thought she should have overcome it after not seeing her for two years and growing up. But she didn't expect that she would get chills just by approaching her and seeing this person.
Su Muqing stood there, clenching his fists to calm his slightly shaking body. He closed his eyes and took a breath. Then he opened his eyes and said to Jiang Qi in a calm manner, "Then you play first. I'll go take care of the other guests. If you need anything, please tell the waiter." After saying that, he was about to take Rococo away.
As a result, as soon as he took a step forward, Jiang Qi reached out and grabbed his arm.
"Don't worry. Let's talk for a while."
"We probably don't have much to talk about." Su Muqing's tone was stiff and awkward. She just wanted to leave quickly now. She couldn't bear to stay with him any longer.
"Who said we have nothing to talk about? There are many things we can talk about. For example, we can talk about Gu Jingcheng." Jiang Qi's voice was still gentle, but it didn't make people feel warm.
"What do you want to talk about?" Su Muqing's voice was cold and there was no smile on his face.
Seeing her look, Jiang Qi smiled even more: "You can talk about your marriage. You like him very much, but he hates you, right?"
Su Muqing paused for words. She didn't answer, waiting for the man in front of her to say the next word.
"It seems to be true. This is what my brother told me himself. I thought he was teasing me." Jiang Qi looked at her with an expression of sudden enlightenment and continued, "He also told me that he hates you so much. He feels sick just by seeing you. It seems that he is not teasing me."
Su Muqing clenched her hands tightly at this moment, and her palms hurt a lot, probably because she pinched into her flesh. But it still didn't relieve the cramping pain in her heart. But she still pretended to be calm and said, "So, what do you want to say? No matter what, we are already married."
Jiang Qi hadn't said anything yet. Luo Keke on the side said directly: "Yes, they are already married. No matter what, it's their business. If you have any dignity, don't get involved." She had just been preparing herself for a long time. She kept telling herself that Jiang Qi was nothing to be afraid of. When she saw Su Muqing being bullied, she didn't even think twice and directly spoke up to help her.
Similarly, before Jiang Qi could react, Tang Xin said directly: "That has nothing to do with you. Why do you need to talk too much here?"
Tang Xin spoke, and Luo Keke's anger suddenly rose. She hadn't gotten over her anger just now. If it weren't for the fact that this was Mr. Gu's birthday party, she wouldn't have let it go. Now this shameless guy is trying to provoke her.
Just as he was about to roll up his sleeves and go forward, he heard Jiang Qi's calm voice floating into his ears. "It doesn't matter if you quarrel or fight. Go away. I haven't finished talking to her yet."
Luo Keke's movements were suppressed instantly. But he still said "you" in anger. Jiang Qi glanced at him lightly, and Luo Keke understood the word "threat" in that look. Instantly, the bad memories of his childhood came to his mind, and he immediately fell silent, not daring to show any anger.
Jiang Qi wanted to laugh when she saw Luo Keke's expression. But she suppressed it. However, her lips still curled up slightly but not too obviously. She turned to look at Su Muqing and continued, "Let's continue our conversation. So do you want to consider taking the initiative to divorce him?"
Su Muqing calmed down because of the incident just now, and replied in a steady tone: "Whether he and I are in a harmonious marriage or not, or whether we get divorced or not, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with Miss Jiang."
Although Jiang Qi knew that she was still in a storm, he still felt that she was quite impressive when he saw how quickly she managed to maintain her calmness.
He adjusted his tone and voice and continued to recite his lines.
"Well. Does it have nothing to do with me?" Jiang Qi thought for a moment and took two steps closer to her, separating Luo Keke and Tang Xin before continuing, "I have known him since I was six years old. It has been eighteen years now. We have eaten, lived and slept together. Even though I have been away for two years, it is still the same now. I have slept in the same bed with him. He has eaten my leftovers and drank my water. And he said that the person he loves is me. Do you think this has nothing to do with me?"
Su Muqing stopped talking, her hands were clenched as tight as they could be, she clenched her teeth tightly, her lips trembling uncontrollably.
Jiang Qi said in a voice that only the two of them could hear clearly: "So Su Muqing, what do you have to fight with me? What right do you have to fight with me? Or do you think he will choose you over me?" Jiang Qi's voice was still gentle, but it was like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue.
"That's enough!" Su Muqing growled. She didn't want to listen anymore.
"So, why did you leave in the first place? Why didn't you want him?" Su Muqing's voice was shaking, she was crying, and her eyes were slightly red. She was emotionally broken.
Jiang Qi looked at her and shook her head silently: I still overestimated her.
Jiang Qi sighed softly: "There is no need to tell you. You just need to know. Now that I'm back, you should leave."
"Oh. It's time to leave." Su Muqing smiled somewhat miserably, and said as if talking to himself: "You have been with him for eighteen years, so my ten years are meaningless?"
Jiang Qi took her hand and leaned over to get closer to her. He whispered, "Ten years? Did he participate in your ten years? I know you like him. I knew it when I first saw you when I was 16."
Su Muqing turned around and looked at her in shock.
Jiang Qi said in a gentle tone: "I have always remembered you. Because I could always see you within my sight at that time. I also know that you were the marriage arranged by Grandpa Gu for him. I remember you wrote him love letters, it seems that there were more than one, and they were quite thick. But unfortunately, I threw them all away, and he didn't even see them. Including the gifts you gave him. So he didn't even know there was such a person as you. So what do you mean by the ten years. Has it got anything to do with him?"
"You." Su Muqing shook her head in disbelief. She just wanted to get away from the person in front of her, but she couldn't pull her arm back, so she could only shake it off.
Jiang Qi was paying attention when she was talking to her. Gu Jingcheng's movement happened just when Su Muqing raised her hand. Gu Jingcheng was about to turn over, and Jiang Qi fell backwards due to the force of her raising her hand.
