Chapter 176 Undercurrents at the Banquet
Fu Linzhou turned his head indifferently, his eyes calmly looking at Lin Zhier, who was like a madman and had given up. "I asked her for the 40 million."
"I originally wanted to give it to Zhizhi for her birthday, but she got mad at me last night, so I asked her for 40 million."
"Miss Lin, do you have any objections?"
Only then did everyone suddenly realize.
It turned out to be from Fu Linzhou, so it must be the original one without a doubt!
but……
Everyone who suddenly realized something looked at Lu Zhi, then at Fu Linzhou, and then at Gu Qiancheng.
Are they thinking too dirty?
Why do I feel like there's something wrong with these three people?
Lu Zhi was also stunned. Was she angry with him last night?
Have it?
She subconsciously thought of last night when she accidentally fell and knocked someone down. Was this what she was referring to?
She was a little dazed. After the ambiguity and physical contact last night, she didn't know where she touched him.
But could it be that kind of place that could make him so angry that he asked her for 40 million?
Lu Zhi shrank his neck, became embarrassed and blushed.
Fu Linzhou explained it personally, so even if Lin Zhier still had any objections, no one would believe what she said.
The farce finally came to an end.
Gu Yan glanced sharply at the three young people, then turned to Gu Qiancheng and scolded him, "Cheng'er, why don't you take your girlfriend back to your seat? What are you standing here for?"
He turned around and looked at Fu Linzhou with a smile: "Mr. Fu, would you like to stay for dinner?"
He made a gesture of invitation, naturally wanting to invite Fu Linzhou to the main table.
Gu Qiancheng's eyes lit up slightly, and he pulled Lu Zhi to sit at the table for immediate family members next to him.
Fu Linzhou followed his gaze.
Seeing that Lu Zhi was somewhat reluctant, but still sat down, he turned his head and nodded slightly to Gu Yan: "Then I'd better obey your command."
With Fu Linzhou present, the banquet suddenly became stiff.
Many young girls couldn't help but glance at the main table.
The old man at the table made Fu Linzhou look unusually handsome, and his white jade-like face looked surprisingly fresh and youthful.
The well-tailored dark blue suit made him look particularly tall and straight.
His deep eyebrows and eyes, like those in an ink painting, possessed a very peaceful divinity. He sat dignified and steady among the elders, and exuded the air of a superior with his aura. He was even more composed than Gu Yan who was sitting next to him.
Lu Zhi couldn't help but look over at him.
The person next to him was talking to Fu Linzhou.
He raised his hand, picked up the wine glass on the table, took a sip, and had no expression on his face.
But Lu Zhi felt that he didn't like to drink.
Sure enough, he never picked up the glass of wine again at the subsequent banquets.
Lu Zhi, who had guessed correctly, was inexplicably in a good mood.
"Zhizhi..." Gu Qiancheng's voice suddenly sounded beside him.
She turned to look at him: "?"
Gu Qiancheng held her hand under the table and apologized in a low voice: "I'm sorry for what happened just now..."
Lu Zhi pursed her lips and said nothing.
Gu Qiancheng looked at her sincerely: "In that situation just now, if I had continued to defend you, I was afraid that Grandpa would think that you had bewitched me and affected my judgment, so I deliberately distanced myself from you..."
"Zhizhi, I don't want our relationship to be strained because of this incident."
Lu Zhi glanced at him coldly: "I understand the truth, but it doesn't affect my anger."
Gu Qiancheng smiled, "Of course, it's me who made Zhizhi angry, so I should be punished."
He picked up a few shrimps and began to carefully peel them for Lu Zhi.
Lu Zhi glanced at him.
Gu Qiancheng's appearance is undoubtedly excellent.
His eyebrows and eyes were as cold as pine trees, and he carried the arrogant aura of someone who had been raised in an aristocratic family since childhood.
This kind of gifted boy, when he lowers himself to coax a girl or peels shrimp for her, is often more likely to attract her heart.
But what made Lu Zhi most angry was not the other party's distrust.
But when the other party introduced her at the beginning, he did not reveal her identity as a girlfriend.
As early as a month ago, Gu Qiancheng said he would bring her home to attend the birthday party of his family elders.
He hugged her and said, "I finally got a girlfriend, so of course I have to bring her home to show her to the elders."
He added, "Don't worry, Zhizhi. Grandma introduced you to me. If grandma likes it, grandpa and grandma will definitely like it too."
He also said: "Zhizhi, you are so nice, my family will definitely like you."
His words and actions almost made it clear that he wanted to take her home to meet the elders and acknowledge her as his girlfriend.
Although having a girlfriend doesn't necessarily mean you'll get married.
But he had started whispering in her ear a month ago.
He made her feel very excited, and she thought they were going to meet his parents.
She thought he was going to introduce her to his family, so she couldn't help but feel nervous every time she thought about it this month.
In order to choose a birthday gift for the old man, she went through all the available resources on the list before finding out what Mr. Gu liked.
Originally, she thought of letting Gu Qiancheng help with the preparations and she would pay for it.
She has this thoughtfulness and can give a gift that is more to the old man's liking, which is good for everyone.
But when Gu Qiancheng came to pick her up in the morning, he had completely forgotten what she had asked him to do, which was to help her prepare a gift.
Luckily she prepared it herself.
These are secondary.
The most important thing is that when Gu Qiancheng introduced her to his family just now, he didn't even give her an identity.
But she was allowed to sit at the table with her immediate family members.
Doesn't she want to lose face?
How does this make everyone else view her?
But he had no idea what she was angry about.
Lu Zhi endured it and just focused on eating, and she also ate the shrimps he peeled.
why do not you eat?
There's no need to be hard on yourself.
When they were almost done eating, Lu Zhi was about to stand up and say goodbye, but saw Fu Linzhou had already stood up: "I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Gu Yan politely tried to persuade Fu Linzhou to stay before sending him out.
When he reached the door, Fu Linzhou looked at Lu Zhi who was sitting on the seat and said, "Zhizhi, go back."
The tone was so intimate as if he was calling his own junior.
Gu Qiancheng tightened his grip on the chopsticks slightly and stood up: "How dare I trouble Mr. Fu? I'll just send Zhizhi back in a bit."
Lu Zhi stood up and said, "No need. He and I are going the same way. I can just take his car back."
After saying that, she stood up and was about to leave without even looking at Gu Qiancheng beside her.
Gu Qiancheng grabbed her hand under the table.
Fu Linzhou's eyes were slightly cold, his lips were pressed into a line, and his jawline was extremely tense.
Lu Zhi shook off his hand and took two steps at a time to hide behind Fu Linzhou: "Let's go."
Fu Linzhou glanced at Gu Qiancheng lightly with his slightly cold eyes.
At that moment, almost everyone present understood what he meant.
Gu Qiancheng made him unhappy.
Gu Yan frowned slightly and looked at his eldest grandson with some worry.
Lu Zhi got into Fu Linzhou's car and the two left the manor outside Beijing.
Without Fu Linzhou, the banquet hall suddenly became relaxed.
Everyone felt as if the huge rock pressing on them was suddenly lifted away. Not only did they breathe harder, but even their voices became louder.
Gu Qiancheng looked at the sudden return of liveliness in the banquet hall and was the first to gain a physical understanding of a person's aura.
But he didn't understand.
Isn’t it the Fu family?
Although they are stronger than the Gu family, Fu Linzhou is only about the same age as them. Why do these people fear him so much?
