The ex-wife is rebellious, which makes the CEO feel troubled

Chapter 373 You Have to Come Out

The newspaper agreed to Ning Xi's request and asked her to go back and wait for news.

Ning Xi was finally able to take a breath. She looked up travel guides for S City and surrounding areas on the Internet, planning to take Lu Ruoxing out for some fun in the next few days, putting everything else aside.

After returning from Nanyu Street last time, Ning Xi unexpectedly discovered that her daughter was very interested in traditional culture. There happened to be a real-life garden exhibition in the city recently, so she grabbed the tickets in advance and prepared the things in her bag early.

However, due to the unfamiliar climate and water, Ning Xi's face suddenly developed an allergic reaction. After prescribing medicine, the doctor reminded her to take good protection. So when she went out, she was fully equipped with a mask, sunglasses, and a sun hat.

She looked in the mirror and murmured with a smile: "I can hardly recognize myself after covering myself like this..."

Lu Ruoxing came over and hugged her waist: "I recognize you. No matter what mom looks like, I will be the one who recognizes her the fastest!"

Ning Xi patted her head lovingly: "Good baby."

The garden exhibition was held in the southern suburbs of City S. As it was about to be acquired by a private individual, it was the last exhibition and the scene was packed with people.

The garden is of elegant and refreshing Chinese style, with pavilions, towers, waterside terraces and corridors, every part of which is exquisite.

Such a unique scenery made Lu Ruoxing, who grew up abroad, very excited. She touched the fairy statue and the mahogany railing, and was much more lively than when she stayed at home.

"Mom, look, there's a little monster on the roof!"

The tour guide explained: "Children, this is not a little monster, it is called a Chiwen, which has the ability to defend against fire. Every brick and tile on it was designed and built by Master Liu himself."

Ning Xi held her daughter's hand and couldn't help but sigh: "Master Liu is really amazing..."

At the end of the corridor is a tightly closed stone archway, and not far behind the door is a small wooden teahouse, isolating itself from all the noise and disturbance.

The "Master Liu" that Ning Xi mentioned was sitting in the teahouse.

Old Master Liu looked at the man opposite him and said with emotion: "Why do I feel that Huai Jing has lost a lot of weight? Is it because I haven't seen him for a while, so I am wrong?"

Gu Yanyu glanced at his nephew distressedly and took over the conversation: "He, once he gets busy, he doesn't take care of his own health. No matter what I say, he won't listen. I don't know who this personality resembles."

"Who else can you follow? Your old man. He is smart, capable, and has a strong sense of character." Old Master Liu took a sip of tea and said, "But I really have to advise you. Health is the capital of revolution. You should return to S City as soon as possible. After all, your home is here. Let your aunt take good care of you."

Gu Huaijing still had that calm look on his face, as if no topic could move him, and he just brushed it off.

"I'll pay attention. However, A has some key development projects going on there, so I won't be back in the short term."

Gu Yanyu understood as soon as he heard it.

The reason why he stayed in City A was obviously Ning Xi. Ning Xi's home and the place where she disappeared were both in City A. If there was any news, he would be able to know it first in the local area.

This time, he came back to S city to discuss cooperation. He stayed with her for two days, but in the blink of an eye, he had to leave again.

Gu Yanyu couldn't stand his persistence, which almost became a mental illness. So he found Mr. Liu, hoping that he could help persuade him.

As a close friend of Mr. Gu, his words still carry a lot of weight.

"I think the first draft of the design of my garden was drawn by Lao Gu and me. Now my garden is completely completed and handed over to your family, but he has been gone for many years." Mr. Liu knew that persuasion should be done slowly. He recalled the past leisurely, with a bit of sadness in his tone, "When he was still here, he mentioned you the most."

"How sad would your grandfather be if he saw you like this?"

Thinking of the love his grandfather had shown him when he was alive, Gu Huaijing lowered his deep eyes slightly.

Seeing that he remained silent, Gu Yanyu couldn't help feeling anxious.

Is it true that even this cannot persuade my nephew?

Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of Mr. Liu winking at her, and Gu Yanyu understood what he meant.

"Excuse me for a moment. Huaijing, you stay with Uncle Liu and have a good chat."

He got up and went out, leaving the two of them some space to be alone.

Gu Yanyu smoothed her hair and prepared to go out for a walk before coming back.

The moment she caught a glimpse of her wrist, she stopped abruptly.

Her bracelet is gone!

The money is secondary. The main thing is that it was a birthday gift her father gave her when she was a child, and it means a lot to her.

Gu Yanyu suddenly thought of the time when she took a walk around the garden before it was opened.

I guess it fell over there.

On the other side, next to the circular flower bed in the garden.

Lu Ruoxing found a shiny object among the colorful peonies all over the ground. She picked it up and saw that it was a colorful gemstone bracelet.

"Hey, who lost this?"

"Ruoxing, show it to mom."

Ning Xi took a look at her hand. Just looking at the dazzling texture of the colorful gems, she knew it was very expensive. She must be very anxious at this moment.

She was about to take her child to hand over the bracelet to the organizer. A middle-aged woman who heard them talking came over eagerly and said in surprise, "Oh, I was wondering where I lost my bracelet. It turns out that you found it, little girl. Thank you."

As she said this, she was about to reach out to take it.

Lu Ruoxing turned away, her grape-like eyes turned cleverly: "Mom said this bracelet is very expensive, I can't just give it to someone. Auntie, do you have any evidence to prove that the bracelet is yours?"

Ning Xi felt relieved to see her so alert.

So he did not intervene and planned to let Lu Ruoxing gain experience on his own first.

The middle-aged woman pursed her lips and said, "What are you talking about? I wouldn't bring all the receipts with me when I go out. You're complaining about something, I think you want to keep it all for yourself, right?!"

Ning Xi felt something was wrong when she saw the woman's appearance.

She stepped forward at the right time, protecting the child behind her, and said in a deep voice: "If this is really your bracelet, we can go to the organizer to check the surveillance and find out at a glance."

The middle-aged woman choked and muttered, "There are so many people here, and the surveillance... the surveillance may not be able to capture it, so why bother with so much trouble!"

A sharp female voice interrupted her argument: "I think you are feeling guilty!"

Gu Yanyu went back along the same route he had taken to look for her, and as soon as he reached the flower garden he heard this farce.

Look at the bracelet the child is holding. Isn’t it the one she lost?

"I didn't expect that someone would be so shameless in broad daylight." Gu Yanyu glanced at the woman coldly, "This bracelet is mine. I have been wearing it for several years."

"Miss, I am willing to go with you to the organizer to check the surveillance."

Now it is clear who is right and who is wrong.

The middle-aged woman saw that it was actually the real owner and said, "Maybe I made a mistake."

Then he slipped away from the scene where everyone was talking about it.

Under the witness of the organizer, Lu Ruoxing returned the bracelet to Gu Yanyu.

Gu Yanyu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after getting her beloved item back. She said gratefully, "Thank you, little friend. You are very brave. Can I give you a gift?"

Lu Ruoxing shook her head: "No need, mom said that when doing good things, you shouldn't expect rewards from others."

Gu Yanyu looked at Ning Xi with a sigh in his eyes: "You really taught the child very well. However, I still have to thank you, otherwise I will feel bad."

Ning Xi's face was wrapped tightly, and her facial features could not be seen at all. However, Gu Yanyu still heard a slight smile from her words.

"Really, that's not necessary. Since there's nothing wrong with the stuff, we'll leave first."

Ning Xi took Lu Ruoxing out of the door. At the same time, Gu Huaijing, who had received the news, was walking towards this side.
