The appearance of Lu Jinghao instantly attracted everyone's attention.

He had a calm expression, and his whole body was free from the turmoil and impetuosity of the scene. His noble air was reserved, and his demeanor was natural. He walked towards Xia Zimu at a leisurely pace.

From the moment he appeared, Gu Huaixi had been staring at him closely, with a cloud over his face.

It wasn't until he walked to Xia Zimu's side, like a cold statue, protecting her very naturally, that Gu Huaixi said in a deep voice: "Mr. Lu, no one should invite you to the party tonight."

Lu Jinghao didn't answer his words, and glanced at Mo Ke's swollen face, then turned around and asked Xia Zimu, "Have you hit someone?"

The man's voice was deep and mellow, and he smiled slowly.

Xia Zimu remembered a previous conversation.

She asked him, in his eyes, is he just a person who only quarrels and hates people all day long.

His answer was that she would still fight.

Lu Jinghao had never seen her beating someone before, and she could still comfort herself that her image in his heart might not be so completely destroyed.

But today, she not only quarreled, but also fought.

Then, it was all known by this person.

Inexplicably, Xia Zimu felt a little hot on the tips of his ears.

She pretended to be calm, "Well, I did."

After finishing speaking, she added: "Don't pick things up first."

The speed of the explanation was as if he was afraid that Lu Jinghao would think that she was a vexatious person.

Listening to her words, Lu Jinghao's smile became more and more obvious.

Xia Zimu turned his head away uncomfortably, not daring to look into his eyes.

The two were talking as if no one was there, Gu Huaixi stared at the two of them, some inexplicable emotion crazily tore at his chest.

Behind him, Mo Ke suddenly said, "It's obvious that Xia Zimu came here by himself to provoke trouble, how could he slander me..."

Xu Shi was scolded by Gu Huaixi just now, but Mo Ke's voice was a little softer this time, not as loud as before.

Although her voice is not loud, everyone around can hear it.

Including Xia Zimu.

Her gaze passed by Lu Jinghao, and landed on Yan Man, feeling a little more cold, "Ms. Mo thinks that the injury on her face is not serious enough, and you want me to slap you a few more times?"

Mo Ke suddenly felt that the swelling on his face that hadn't subsided became more painful, and he retracted into Yan Man's arms, without speaking again.

Seeing that Gu Huaixi's expression was not right, Yan Man worried that if Xia Zimu and Lu Jinghao stimulated him like this, it would make Gu Huaixi regret the marriage or take other drastic actions, so she hurriedly spoke up.

"Mumu, it's wrong to treat what happened today. I'll make it up to you on her behalf. She's young and ignorant, so don't be so fussy with her."

"What are you apologizing to her for?" Yan Man suddenly succumbed, Gu Huaixi was a little displeased, "It's just that she did something wrong first, and she is the one who should apologize!"

Seeing that Lu Jinghao was still protecting Xia Zimu, he felt extremely glaring in his heart, and wished he could throw Lu Jinghao out now.

"Xia Zimu, since you refuse to apologize, don't blame me for being rough on you!"

He raised his voice: "Come here, arrest Xia Zimu and Lu Jinghao!"

Xia Zimu took a step forward, preparing to subdue Gu Huaixi before his men rushed over.

"Excuse me."

As soon as she took a step, Lu Jinghao who was standing in front of her spoke.

He said apologetic words, but there was no trace of guilt on his cold face, "When I came here just now, a gentleman refused to let me in—"

His tone was unhurried, "By the way, I changed all the people guarding outside."

His voice fell, and the scene was in an uproar.

"Really? I didn't even hear the sound of fighting outside."

"He said so, it should be true, right?"

"When I came, I saw a lot of bodyguards outside. How did he do it?"

"By the way, who is this person? How dare he confront Gu Shaogang head-on? Are you not afraid of accidents?"

"Don't you read the news? This person is Xia Zimu's suitor, and he has met Young Master Gu not once or twice. At Mo Ke's engagement banquet last time, I heard that Young Master Gu's people were beaten by him."

"Isn't it? So Young Master Gu didn't clean him up?"

"You haven't thought about it, maybe it's not because you don't want to, but because you don't have enough ability?"

"Impossible. Although the Gu family can't cover the sky with one hand in Yucheng, there isn't any rich family that can match it, right? What is this Lu Jinghao's identity?"

When Gu Huaixi heard the comments from the people around him, he felt that Lu Jinghao was getting more and more annoying.

Why does this person always overwhelm him?

He gritted his teeth "clucking", and there was unstoppable anger in his eyes, "Lu Jinghao, are you deliberately provoking trouble?"

"Just in case." Lu Jinghao's voice was flat, "Young Master Gu often bullies others, so I naturally have to pave the way in advance."

Gu Huaixi was very angry at his attitude, and wanted to do something.

Jiang Ximian, who was following behind Lu Jinghao, took a step forward, squeezed his fingers, eager to try, "What's the matter, want to fight? I'll accompany you anytime!"

Yan Man hurriedly pulled him back, "Huaixi, forget it, tomorrow is our wedding day, it's not good to make things worse tonight."

Gu Huaixi was unmoved, and grabbed her hand, wanting her to let go.

Yan Man lowered her voice, "Huaixi, just pretend I'm begging you, okay? We're getting married soon, and I don't want to make any more trouble."

Gu Huaixi's expression was relaxed, she remained silent, and did not push her away again.

Seeing him settle down, Yan Man managed to maintain her smile and looked at Xia Zimu, "Mumu, I'm really sorry tonight. Huaixi seems to be unwell, I'll help him upstairs first, you play with Mr. Lu Have fun."

After finishing speaking, Yan Man directly supported Gu Huaixi to go upstairs.

Before leaving, I didn't forget to call Mo Ke upstairs.

The farce ended, and the two protagonists tonight also left the scene, and the air was awkwardly quiet.

Zhou Ren came to the stage to preside over the order of the scene, liven up the atmosphere, the music sounded again, and the young masters and ladies in the hall began to entertain again.

It's just that the atmosphere was worse than it was at the beginning.

Xia Zimu was planning to go home, but Bai Yiyi saw that Lu Jinghao wanted to let people get along more, so she called Jiang Ximian, dragged the two of them to find a clean place in the corner, and took a few bottles of wine to let people get along with each other. opened.

Xia Zimu looked at Lu Jinghao, "Why are you here?"

When she saw Lu Jinghao appear just now, she was somewhat surprised.

This person always suddenly appeared around her. If she didn't know his character well, she might feel that this person was following her.

Lu Jinghao picked up the transparent glass goblet, poured a glass of red wine for Xia Zimu and handed it to her, "Miss Bai invited me here."

Xia Zimu understood, and didn't ask any more questions.

Just chatting is boring, Jiang Ximian suggested to play a small game, and the loser will be punished with alcohol.

Neither Lu Jinghao nor Xia Zimu refused.

Jiang Ximian and Bai Yiyi looked at each other and reached a tacit understanding.

The two operated in secret and poured Xia Zimu with a lot of wine.

Not long after, Xia Zimu got drunk.

Bai Yiyi and Jiang Ximian slipped away quickly, leaving the drunk Xia Zimu to Lu Jinghao.
