Su Ye opened the car door, this time he chose a safe place to park, Lu Wanqing and Gu Xiao each opened the door at hand and got out of the car.

"Why don't you go back?" Lu Wanqing raised her head and stared at the front of the restaurant.

This is an antique restaurant, even the name is very old-fashioned, it is called Shuiqinglou.

I don't know if it's because the original owner seldom goes out, and in Lu Wanqing's memory, he doesn't know that there is such a place in Yuncheng.

Gu Xiao didn't reply, and walked straight into the restaurant.

It was Su Ye who came to Lu Wanqing's side: "Master Lu, you successfully won the first game. Master Jiu said that you must celebrate it for you. I have already ordered me to book a seat here yesterday."

Lu Wanqing was stunned for a moment: "It was already decided yesterday? But I won today."

The corners of Su Ye's mouth twitched twice, showing a bit of embarrassment. He turned sideways and made a gesture of invitation to Lu Wanqing, which was a clever way to avoid the topic.

Lu Wanqing didn't ask any further questions, and followed Gu Xiao straight inside.

The decoration style of Shuiqing Building is the same as its name, it is pure Chinese decoration style.

Just entering the restaurant, I saw a red wooden screen head-on, with a landscape painting painted on the top of the screen.

The picture is clear and beautiful, the color is rich, and it also reveals a faint fragrance.

Lu Wanqing took a closer look and smelled it, her expression paused slightly: "Is this screen scented with pine wood?"

Su Ye was full of praise: "Master Lu is really amazing, he even understands this kind of ancient knowledge?"

Lu Wanqing rolled her eyes and thought to herself: What kind of ancient learning is this?Didn't Su Ye smell the screen?

While the two were talking, Gu Xiao went straight up to the second floor accompanied by a man dressed as a manager.

Su Ye hurriedly led Lu Wanqing to go upstairs together.

The name of the box upstairs is also antique, divided into four boxes of "plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum", each box has a corresponding couplet written on it.

Gu Xiao entered the "Mei" box, followed closely by Lu Wanqing, while Su Ye stood by the door in a regular manner, put away his joking expression just now, and looked around vigilantly.

A table of dishes has already been set up in the box.

It seems that what Su Ye said is right, Gu Xiao was indeed prepared.

The manager smiled all over his face: "Jiu Ye, this is our own place, if you need anything, just call Jiu Ye."

Without looking back, Gu Xiao raised his hand and waved his fingers casually twice.

The manager understood immediately and exited in a well-mannered manner.

Lu Wanqing sat opposite Gu Xiao.

The window of the box he selected happened to be able to see the lobby on the first floor.

At the moment, in the performance hall of the hall on the first floor, many people are busy moving something.

It looks like something important is going to happen here in a while.

"The manager just said that this is your place?" Lu Wanqing looked at Gu Xiao and asked softly.

Gu Xiao casually agreed.

"But Yuncheng is Gu Xilie's territory. As far as I know, even the head of your capital city needs to seek his advice if he wants to do business in Yuncheng. Doesn't he know about this place?" Lu Wanqing continued to ask.

Gu Xiao didn't change his face: "This is my territory, not the Gu family's territory."

What he said was so cloudy that it confused Lu Wanqing.

Just as he was about to ask again, Gu Xiao pointed to the stage downstairs and said softly, "Do you know that person?"

Lu Wanqing looked in the direction of Gu Xiao's finger, but saw a woman with a high ponytail and professional attire standing beside the stage.

How could she not know him?

Isn't that Shangguan Qi who made things difficult for him at Yang Wenshuo's house not long ago?

After Lu Wanqing went back, she made a special inquiry.

This Shangguan Qi has a deep affection for Yang Wenshuo.

I heard that during these years when Yang Wenshuo was abroad, Shangguan Qi accompanied him as a student, and also returned to China with him.

It's a pity that I don't know if Yang Wenshuo is being unsympathetic or deliberately delaying. In short, he never gave Shangguan Qi any response.

From the perspective of a woman, Lu Wanqing sympathized with Shangguan Qi very much.

But as soon as she thought of Shangguan Qi's making things difficult for her, Lu Wanqing immediately put away all her sympathy.

"Isn't that Yang Wenshuo's little fan girl? I heard that she is now the number one reporter in Yuncheng." Lu Wanqing said, calmly picked up the teacup in front of her, and drank the tea calmly.

Gu Xiao stared at Shangguan Qi for a long time, then looked sideways at Lu Wanqing: "The Shangguan family also has a place in the capital. Shangguan Qi's biological mother died a long time ago, so she was exiled by the Shangguan family in Yuncheng since she was a child."

Lu Wanqing had also inquired about some of these things, so she wasn't surprised to hear Gu Xiao mention them.

She shrugged her shoulders and curled her lips: "So what?"

Gu Xiao slowly retracted his gaze and looked at Lu Wanqing: "Mother Gu, who is my mother in name, wants me to marry Shangguan Qi."

pat.

The teacup in Lu Wanqing's hand fell to the ground, and the tea scattered along the floor.

Su Ye outside heard the sound and rushed into the room quickly.

But seeing Lu Wanqing staring at Gu Xiao in surprise, her hand was still holding a teacup, her fingers trembling slightly.

Su Ye wanted to step forward, but Gu Xiao raised his hand to stop him.

He raised his right hand, looked indifferent, stared at Lu Wanqing intently, his face was expressionless, and there was no emotion in those eyes.

After a long time, Lu Wanqing finally recovered.

She forced a smile, squatted down immediately, picked up the pieces of the teacup on the ground, and responded to Gu Xiao: "That's a good thing. Jiu Ye will also have a family in the future, which is very good."

As she spoke, she put the fragments of the teacup on the table, and when she was careless, the fragments slipped across her fingertips, and blood immediately spread from the gap.

Lu Wanqing immediately raised her hand to hold her fingertips, and the bloody smell gradually diffused from her mouth.

Gu Xiao raised his head, stared at Lu Wanqing, and sighed helplessly.

He got up and grabbed Lu Wanqing's wrist, forcefully pulled her hand in front of him, and said to Su Ye in a deep voice, "Bring the medicine box."

When Su Ye left, Gu Xiao stared at Lu Wanqing's face, and continued: "She wanted me to marry Shangguan Qi, because she wanted to use Shangguan Qi's identity to humiliate me, and at the same time cut off my desire to inherit the Gu family. Besides , as far as I know, Shangguan Qi also has a sweetheart."

Facing Gu Xiao's dark eyes, Lu Wanqing's heart trembled.

She pulled her hands slightly, trying to let Gu Xiao loosen herself, but the latter pulled him even tighter.

Lu Wanqing lowered her eyelids, and said in a low voice: "Why did Master Jiu tell me these things? This is all about your Gu family's business, and has nothing to do with me."

"I need your help." Gu Xiao stared at Lu Wanqing, his voice was low and calm, and his palms felt warm.

Shangguan Qi was busy on the first floor.

Shuiqinglou is going to hold a charity auction.
