It was as if he had sensed her. Although she was hidden in the crowd and wore a particularly inconspicuous uniform, Chu Zhaoyang still noticed her gaze and looked over immediately.
Seeing that Gu Nian was among them, Chu Zhaoyang's heart sank and he frowned displeased.
For such a dangerous matter, why did Mo Jingsheng send Gu Nian here!
But Gu Nian mistakenly thought that Chu Zhaoyang was not happy to see her.
Did he think her being here was hindering him?
Gu Nian held the empty tray and turned away in embarrassment.
In just a few days, he was already tired of her?
Chu Zhaoyang frowned and called He Haoran over, hoping that he would take Gu Nian to a safe place.
"Brother Chu."
A soft female voice came from behind Chu Zhaoyang.
Chu Zhaoyang's eyes showed impatience, and even his lips formed a stern line.
Gu Nian stood there blankly and saw Chu Zhaoyang turning around.
And behind him, it was Jiang Xiangxue who was walking towards him.
Jiang Xiangxue came with her father Jiang Wanli and her mother Tian Xinyue. At this time, she was still holding Jiang Wanli's arm and walked towards Chu Zhaoyang together.
"Mr. Jiang." At this time, Chu Jiahong also came over with Xiang Yulan.
"Mr. Chu." Jiang Wanli called with a smile.
Xiang Yulan smiled and called: "Mr. Jiang, Mrs. Jiang."
"Brother Chu." Jiang Xiangxue called shyly from the side.
When Chu Jiahong and others saw this, they all laughed.
Jiang Wanli looked at them with satisfaction and said with a smile, "It's a double blessing for our two families tonight."
Chu Jiahong knew that Jiang Wanli was reminding himself.
He was a little dissatisfied with Jiang Wanli's strength in his heart, but he still endured it, laughed a few times, and said, "Of course, I can't wait to announce it quickly."
Tian Xinyue smiled and said to Jiang Wanli: "Xiangxue is so thin-skinned that she blushed at what you said."
"I think, let's go and chat aside, let the two of can them chat and get along more comfortably." Xiang Yulan also said with a smile.
"Yes, yes." Jiang Wanli actually handed Jiang Xiangxue's hand directly into Chu Zhaoyang's palm, "Zhaoyang, then I will hand my daughter over to you. You should take good care of her."
He said it as if he was going to marry Jiang Xiangxue to Chu Zhaoyang tonight.
Chu Zhaoyang's eyebrows skipped a beat. He suppressed the disgust in his heart and resisted the temptation to throw away Jiang Xiangxue's hand. He waited silently for Jiang Wanli and the others to leave.
Gu Nian stood there and watched the two families talking happily, as if they were about to talk about marriage. No one around them could fit into their small circle.
The fingers holding the tray involuntarily clenched, and the fingertips were tightly clasped on the brown tray, glowing with a bloodless paleness.
Seeing that Chu Zhaoyang and Jiang Xiangxue were alone together, Jiang Xiangxue raised her head and looked at Chu Zhaoyang with a sweet smile, full of affection.
One of them was handsome, the other was gentle and sweet, they look perfect together.
The picture pierced her eyes, which made her feel uncomfortably painful, as if she had been pricked by needles.
Gu Nian quickly turned around. If she continued to look at it, she was really afraid that tears would come out.
But even so, the picture was still as if it was engraved in her mind and couldn't be erased.
She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, forced herself to stabilize, and played her role well.
At this time, she heard four women standing next to each other chatting.
"Have you seen Chu Zhaoyang and Jiang Xiangxue?"
"I saw, I heard that their two families are planning to get married. Are the rumors true?"
"Didn't you read today's news? The reporter even photographed the two of them eating together and blocked them at the door."
"I read it, and from what they said to reporters, it seems that in addition to Chutian's new product launch tonight, they are also going to announce their engagement."
"Engaged? There were only rumors that the Chu and Jiang families were interested in getting married, but we didn't see any close contact between Chu Zhaoyang and Jiang Xiangxue. Isn't this too sudden?"
"What kind of contact is needed for this kind of marriage? Even if they have never met before, they still have to get engaged."
"Tsk, tsk, Jiang Xiangxue is also lucky. She brought so much dowry, even the Chu family is chasing her."
"You, it's useless to be envious."
"Hey, I'm really envious of her. Look at Chu Zhaoyang's character. Although he's a bit cold, he also has the advantage of being cold. At least he's not easy to mess around outside."
What they said next was something Gu Nian didn't want to listen to.
Her head was buzzing and she couldn't hear anything around her, so she could only keep walking towards the corner.
She feel a little regretful. She should have listened to Shen Xiaoman and asked for a leave. She didn't want to come anymore.
But she was always worried about Chu Zhaoyang's safety, and she couldn't rest assured if she wasn't here to see it with her own eyes.
Unexpectedly, she saw him with another woman here and heard the news that they were getting engaged.
So, what he said before about worrying about her safety and not meeting each other for the time being was actually perfunctory to her so thathe could make time to spend with Jiang Xiangxue?
Gu Nian's face was pale and she stared blankly at the air in front of her.
***
Chu Zhaoyang shook off Jiang Xiangxue's hand without leaving a trace, and looked away, but Gu Nian was no longer where she was.
He frowned. At this time, he couldn't go all over the place to look for Gu Nian openly.
"Brother Chu——" Jiang Xiangxue called out softly. She was very unhappy when she saw that Chu Zhaoyang's attention was not on her at all, as if he was looking for someone.
In front of her parents, Chu Zhaoyang was very cooperative.
But as long as they were away, he wanted to leave her far away.
She had never seen a person so disrespectful of her.
Chu Zhaoyang was impatient and turned around and left without looking at her.
"Chu——" Jiang Xiangxue shouted and was about to catch up, but was stopped by He Haoran.
"Ms. Jiang, I'm sorry, our president has met a few clients that we have cooperated with all year round and wants to say hello." He Haoran said without moving, actually preparing to keep an eye on Jiang Xiangxue to prevent her from following Chu Zhaoyang.
Chu Zhaoyang didn't go far, so he asked the passing waiter for a pack of wet wipes, and carefully wiped the hand that had just held Jiang Xiangxue clean, even under the nails.
It wasn't until He Haoran saw that Chu Zhaoyang had gone far and was difficult to find in the crowd that he smiled at Jiang Xiangxue: "Miss Jiang, excuse me."
Jiang Xiangxue gritted her teeth and watched He Haoran leave. She tensed her jaw and muttered to herself, "You want to get rid of me? It's not that easy!"
Tonight, she came as Chu Zhaoyang's girlfriend. How could she be easily thrown away by Chu Zhaoyang?
"Xiangxue."
When Jiang Xiangxue was looking for Chu Zhaoyang, a girl about the same age as her walked towards her. It was one of her friends, Han Yitong.
"Congratulations. I've heard that you are with Chu Zhaoyang and are about to get engaged to him." Han Yitong pursed her lips toward Jiang Xiangxue, "You are so shameless that you didn't even tell me such a thing. I only found out after seeing the news."
Of course, it was impossible for Jiang Xiangxue to admit that it was her passion. She smiled sweetly and shyly, and whispered: "It has been kept secret before. It involves many things, so I can't say anything."
"You are going to be the center of attention tonight. I heard that after releasing a new product, the two of you will be announced immediately?" Han Yitong asked.
Jiang Xiangxue enjoyed Han Yitong's envious gaze. She hid her pride and nodded implicitly: "They... seem to have planned this."
Just after she finished speaking, Jiang Xiangxue's eyes suddenly stopped, her face changed suddenly, and her face was even a little distorted: "Why is she here!"
"Who?" Han Yitong asked in confusion.
Jiang Xiangxue didn't bother to answer Han Yitong at this time. She stared at Gu Nian, who was walking in the crowd wearing a waiter uniform, and walked towards her with a look of hatred on her face.
Han Yitong hurriedly followed. When Jiang Xiangxue walked up to Gu Nian, the original look of hatred on her face had been replaced by a look of superiority and pride, with a hint of lust.
"Miss Gu, what a coincidence, why are you here?" Jiang Xiangxue looked at Gu Nian up and down with contempt, "Miss Gu still works part-time?"
Since the last time she met Gu Nian at Chu Zhaoyang's house, she asked Jiang Wanli to investigate Gu Nian when she went back and found out that Gu Nian was a policeman.
A policeman came to serve as a waiter at this banquet?
Jiang Xiangxue lowered her eyes slightly, thinking about it in her heart.
Either,Gu Nian also saw the news about her and Chu Zhaoyang, so she came in disguised as a waiter to find out what was going on.
Or maybe Chu Zhaoyang and Gu Nian have broken up, and Gu Nian was unwilling to give up and still came to entangle them.
Although Sheng Yue's management was strict, Jiang Xiangxue felt that as a police officer, Gu Nian must be able to find loopholes or find connections to get her in.
However, there was another possibility.
Gu Nian has a mission tonight.
But she didn't care why Gu Nian came here, whether she came to pester Chu Zhaoyang or whether she had a mission, she would not make it easy for Gu Nian.
If Chu Zhaoyang came to pester her, she would not let Gu Nian go.
As for having a mission?
Jiang Xiangxue sneered in her heart, it was none of her business, she didn't care if she messed up Gu Nian's mission.
Han Yitong saw that the atmosphere between the two was not right, so she asked: "Xiangxue? This is——"
"Oh, I don't know what Miss Gu does. She seems to do everything. But this is the first time I know that she actually works part-time as a waitress." Jiang Xiangxue said with disdain.
"Do you know each other?" Han Yitong asked strangely, and she chuckled, "How do you know a waiter?"
"It was also by chance that we met once." Jiang Xiangxue said calmly, "She may have thought that there would be many rich people on such an occasion today, so she came here to try her luck."
Looking at the eyes, looking at the nose, and the nose looking at the heart, if she have a mission, she didn't care what Jiang Xiangxue said.
Unexpectedly, Han Yitong pulled Jiang Xiangxue: "Since we are not familiar with her, you should stay away from her. This kind of money-worshiping girl who speculates everywhere can easily ruin your reputation. Especially you and Chu Zhaoyang. When you two are together, don't let him misunderstand you. Especially on such an important occasion tonight, you must never let her see Chu Zhaoyang, who knows what rude things she will do?"
Gu Nian tightened her grip on the tray and said calmly: "If you two don't have anything to serve, I'll leave first."
"Wait!" Jiang Xiangxue called to Gu Nian when she turned around.
Gu Nian stopped, looked at her, and heard Jiang Xiangxue say: "Since you have come in as a waiter, go and get us two glasses of champagne."
At this time, Gu Nian was calm, and her heart was not disturbed at all.
"Okay, please wait a moment." She said lightly, then turned to get the champagne.
"Gu Nian, what's going on over there?" Seeing Gu Nian being entangled, Li Shaofeng's voice came from the headset.
Gu Nian lowered her head slightly, avoiding the eyes of the people around him, and whispered: "I met someone, I wonder if she knows my identity."
"Don't let her disrupt tonight's plans." Li Shaofeng said seriously.
"I know, I will find a way to take her away later." Gu Nian whispered.
She raised her head and observed the surrounding situation with her peripheral vision, then took two more glasses of champagne and walked back.
When Gu Nian went back, Jiang Xiangxue and Han Yitong were no longer at their original positions.
