Chapter 353 Who do you think she will choose?
Gu Huaijing didn't want to pay attention to him, and turned to Rong Qingyun and said, "By the way, my aunt asked me to say hello to you on her behalf."
"It's rare that Yanyu still misses me so much while she's abroad. Is she not busy recently?" Rong Qingyun was relieved but also curious.
Gu Huaijing smiled and said, "She just returned to China recently and is still suffering from jet lag. She kept saying that she would treat you to a meal if she had the chance."
The two of them started chatting about Gu Yanyu, and the topic expanded to the past relationship between the Gu family and Rong Qingyun. At this point, He Zhao, who had been chatting and laughing with Rong Qingyun just now, could not get a word in.
Gu Huaijing lowered his head and sipped his tea slowly. Out of the corner of his eye, he met He Zhao's gaze.
In He Zhao's opinion, this look was clearly a provocation.
In an instant, the smell of gunpowder between the two of them quietly spread.
So the moment Ning Xi opened the door, she saw the two people sitting opposite each other. The atmosphere was so subtle that it was hard to describe.
Her eyebrows jumped and she was silent for a moment.
How come these two people arrived earlier than her, especially Gu Huaijing. As soon as Ning Xi saw him, she couldn't help but think of what happened that night, and she really didn't know how to face him.
Rong Qingyun greeted, "Xiao Xi is here, is the road congested?"
"A little bit, luckily I'm not late."
Gu Huaijing looked at Ning Xi and answered with a smile, then sat down next to He Zhao very naturally, his eyes darkening.
Ning Xi didn't notice his change, and turned to ask He Zhao: "Why didn't you say hello in advance if you were coming?"
He Zhao suddenly smiled: "Wouldn't it be nice to give you a surprise?"
Rong Qingyun was so experienced that she could tell that He Zhao was interested in Ning Xi. Seeing that Gu Huaijing looked unhappy, she interrupted at the right time: "Xiao Xi, you haven't had breakfast yet, right?"
Gu Huaijing understood immediately.
"...I brought some blueberry bread and milk, which can be used as a snack for now."
He Zhao glanced at him, not wanting to be outdone, and said gently to Ning Xi: "There is a dumpling from the most famous restaurant on the corner in the car. It's still hot. Can I get it for you?"
The smell of gunpowder became stronger.
Ning Xi: "..."
Rong Qingyun thought she didn't know how to make a decision, so she smiled and said, "You still have to eat. If you're in a hurry, you have to drink the milk anyway."
"No...I've had breakfast."
This one sentence temporarily ended the secret rivalry between Gu Huaijing and He Zhao.
It was not until fifteen minutes before the exhibition started that Ning Xi went out to supervise the staff to personally remove the red cloth from the exhibits. The seemingly frozen atmosphere was slightly broken.
Ning Xi would ask Rong Qingyun to check every exhibit with her, after all, these were her hard work.
He Zhao didn't have a deep understanding of embroidery, but he was still shocked by the exquisite technique: "Teacher Rong, your craftsmanship is simply amazing!"
Ning Xi stepped forward and adjusted the position of a painting of two dragons playing with a pearl.
"Let me help you." He Zhaoji stepped forward with foresight.
Gu Huaijing couldn't help but clench his hands as he watched from the side. If he had known, he would have been faster!
During this time, He Zhao went to answer a phone call, and Gu Huaijing went to the bathroom. He turned off the faucet, and after taking a few steps, he saw He Zhao leaning against the wall and raised his eyebrows at him.
"Let's talk, Mr. Gu."
The light in the stairwell was dim.
After isolating themselves from irrelevant personnel, the two men who equally admired Ning Xi came together, and the atmosphere immediately became tense.
Gu Huaijing's expression was cold: "I have nothing to talk to you about."
He Zhao put one hand in his pocket, seemingly nonchalant, but in fact, every word he said was powerful, "I'm here to remind you. Ning Xi doesn't like being with you. Please don't bother her again and again except for work matters. Can't you see that you're making things difficult for her?"
"When will it be your turn to interfere between her and me?" Gu Huaijing narrowed his eyes dangerously, emitting a powerful pressure in his every move.
He paused, a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "After all, she and I were married before. As for you, you are not qualified to give me instructions."
He Zhao's chest rose and fell more violently, and the corners of his mouth that were raised froze instantly.
"How dare you bring that up? If you had treated her well, how could she have left? Ning Xi is my fiancée now! If you know what's good for you, stay away from her!"
Hearing this, Gu Huaijing couldn't help it.
The past of being deceived and misunderstood by others has always been his regret and his Achilles' heel. He does not allow anyone to judge him. "What do you mean she is your fiancée? When did Ning Xi admit it? But you are the one who shamelessly clings to her!"
His eyes were full of mockery as he said word by word, "You don't know Ning Xi at all. She has never considered you as her fiancé."
He Zhao was so angry that he was speechless. He felt his anger rising to his head. He reached out and grabbed Gu Huaijing by the collar.
"What did you say?!"
"I said, Ning Xi can't possibly fall in love with you."
The sights of both men were extremely sharp, and their eyes meeting each other was like the sound of swords.
The stalemate lasted for a while, and finally, He Zhao forced himself to calm down.
Ning Xi was still outside, so he couldn't make a scene here.
Gu Huaijing shook his hand away, frowned and smoothed his collar, as if he had touched something dirty.
He Zhao snorted coldly: "Don't say that too early. Then we will rely on our own abilities to see whether Ning Xi will choose you, the person who broke her heart, or me."
……
The two returned to the exhibition hall. Rong Qingyun saw Gu Huaijing's cold face and quickly pulled him aside and asked quietly, "What's wrong?"
Gu Huaijing calmed down and shook his head: "Nothing."
Seeing that he couldn't get any answer, Rong Qingyun went to look at He Zhao again, but saw that he was still smiling and chatting with Ning Xi, and didn't notice anything unusual.
"Don't worry, Auntie will help you..."
Halfway through her words, she was suddenly interrupted by a sweet female voice not far away.
"Brother Huai Jing——!"
Following the sound, I saw a girl in an exquisite dress.
Gu Huaijing was stunned.
