Night Fire Lingering

"son!"

Lou's mother rushed over upon hearing the commotion. Seeing Gu Yueyue standing awkwardly to the side, and Lou Qi standing next to Jiang Xing, even bowing his head to speak to her in a conciliatory manner, she knew something had happened.

She glanced at Jiang Xing, deliberately not greeting him, and said directly to Lou Qi, "Come here, your dad wants to see you."

It was obvious that they wanted to get Lou Qi away from Jiang Xing.

Lou Qi grabbed Jiang Xing's hand and asked, "Is there something you have to say now? If it's urgent, I'll bring my girlfriend along."

Lou's mother never expected that her son would be so bewitched by Jiang Xing, this vixen, and she gave Jiang Xing a cold glare in anger.

Jiang Xing didn't seem to care much, smiled, and said to Lou Qi, "Go ahead."

Because of her pregnancy, Wen Yan will no longer participate in such non-essential activities. Lou Qi is worried about not having a reliable person to take care of Jiang Xing.

Before he could say anything, Jiang Xing lowered his voice slightly and said, "Your parents are already unhappy with me, don't let such a small thing make them dislike me even more."

She... wanted to deliberately get him away?

Lou Qi's heart stirred slightly, and he nodded a few seconds later.

A short while later, Jiang Xing suddenly saw a familiar figure.

The other person happened to see her, strolled over, and greeted her generously: "Miss Jiang, long time no see, you're still as beautiful as ever!"

"Miss Han, it's been a long time." Jiang Xing didn't expect the other party to take the initiative to greet her.

The person who came was the very person who had caused her to break up with Ying Kaian!

Miss Han smiled and said after hearing that Jiang Xing and Lou Qi had a good relationship: "Don't blame me for what happened back then. It was all Lou Shao who made me do it. He likes you so much! I can't stand a man like Ying Kaian... But Ying Kaian is a hundred or two hundred streets inferior to Lou Shao. It's a good thing that you've turned over a new leaf!"

Jiang Xing was stunned.

She guessed that Lou Qi was behind it all, but hearing the news for sure still left her with a suffocating feeling.

Miss Han did not stay long, exchanging a few pleasantries before leaving.

Gu Yueyue greeted Jiang Xing with a smile: "Miss Jiang, are you very sad to attend your aunt's birthday banquet?"

Jiang Xing ignored her and quietly searched for Cheng Jiang among the guests.

If she were to take action against Ying Kaian here today, the Lou family would be criticized, and the relationship between the Lou family and the Cheng family might even deteriorate further, ruining Lou's mother's birthday—Jiang Xing felt somewhat soft-hearted and hesitant.

Just then, Gu Yueyue continued, "Today is Aunt Lou's fiftieth birthday, but your mother will never have the chance to celebrate her fiftieth birthday. I heard that your mother's death is related to you. How can you not be heartbroken?"

Jiang Xing's gaze instantly sharpened, shooting towards Gu Yueyue like a blade.

The surrounding guests looked at each other in bewilderment.

People had heard rumors about Jiang Xing's affairs, which caused quite a stir for a while, but Lou Qi forcefully suppressed them and bluntly stated that anyone who dared to mention it again would be going against him.

Gu Yueyue smiled and said, "Don't be angry. Aunt Lou told me all this. Given your situation... it's no wonder Aunt Lou is not satisfied with you."

To kill someone, you must first destroy their spirit. Others should give Lou Qi face, but Lou's mother cannot be deceived!

She wanted to expose Jiang Xing's wounds in front of everyone and make her hate the Lou family!

Gu Yueyue took a trivial matter as an imperial edict, willingly becoming the first to confront her love rival!

"Ha!" Jiang Xing finally saw Cheng Jiang, his eyes lit up, then he looked away, lowered his eyes and laughed abruptly.

She shouldn't be soft-hearted.

Today is the perfect occasion and opportunity!

A few seconds later, Jiang Xing raised his eyes again: "Miss Gu, should I say you're stupid or dumb? Trying to please your future mother-in-law by offending a man is not a good way. If I give you the apartment, can you handle it?"
