Apologize to My Wife

The daughter of the Gu family had hurt someone, and the person whom she hurt was the Third Young Master of the Lu family. Overnight, Yun City was in an uproar. Even if the Gu family's methods were strong and they immediately removed the trending searches, it would be difficult to stop people from talking.

In the morning, Lu Jinxing sat at the dining table and read the newspaper. When Jiang Jiu went downstairs, she heard his phone ringing on the table. However, he had no intention of answering it.

Jiang Jiu pulled out a chair and sat down, eating her breakfast quietly. She quietly waited for Lu Jinxing's attitude towards Gu Anning's treatment.

"Third Young Master." Ji Chen picked up a call and came in. He glanced at Jiang Jiu at the table and did not avoid her. "Chairman Gu called me."

Lu Jinxing chuckled. "You know what to say, right?"

"Third Young Master, don't worry. I won't say anything I shouldn't." Ji Chen had always been considerate and had never made a mistake.

Jiang Jiu put down his knife and fork and glanced at the man beside him. "Gu Anning's case can at most be considered a dispute and she'll be out in a few days. Third Young Master, you don't have to make things difficult for the Gu family because of me."

"Is that what you really think?"

The man's black eyes were deep, and Jiang Jiu was speechless for a moment. Yes, was this her true thought?

After a moment, Lu Jinxing stood up, picked up his suit jacket, and put it on. "This is the Lu family. The man in front of you is Lu Jinxing. If you still want to compromise, you're slapping my face!"

A certain part of her heart suddenly moved. Jiang Jiu couldn't describe that feeling. Perhaps no one had ever said such a thing in front of her, but her heart was beating so fast.

Jiang Jiu was silent and looked at him with her clear eyes. Lu Jinxing suddenly bent down and placed his handsome face in front of her. "Are you touched? If you are, continue to bathe me tonight."

"…"

What had just popped up in Jiang Jiu's heart was suppressed again. This man could always act shamelessly as a matter of course.

On the way to work, Jiang Jiu turned on the stereo and chose a song she liked. She was in a good mood. Although she didn't want to admit it, the way Lu Jinxing chose to deal with Gu Anning still made her heave a sigh of relief.

In the past few days, the Gu family had thought of all kinds of ways to find Lu Jinxing. Unfortunately, the man was stubborn and the Gu family could not contact him. Gu Tengda was furious. His heart ached for his precious daughter's suffering, but he was at his wit's end.

Five days later, Gu Anning returned to the Gu residence. Rumor has it that when the Gu family went to pick her up, she had lost weight and her eyes were swollen from crying.

In the evening, Jiang Jiu returned to Ci Garden. Lu Jinxing sat on the sofa in the living room. She took off her coat and walked over.

Pa!

The man threw a gold-plated invitation on the table. Jiang Jiu opened it and saw the words 'Gu family'.

"The Gu family invited us to the banquet tomorrow night."

Hongmen Banquet?

Jiang Jiu smiled. Lu Jinxing stared at her face and asked, "Are you afraid?"

"I'm not afraid." Jiang Jiu put down the invitation and shrugged indifferently. "I don't have money or a background. The Gu family's target won't be me."

"Black-hearted woman." Lu Jinxing pulled her to his side. "Don't forget that I locked Gu Anning up because of you."

"Oh."

The man's upper body pressed down, and Jiang Jiu shrunk her shoulders and dodged backwards. "Third Young Master wants me to take the blame again? Miss Gu is getting more and more lawless. Isn't this the result of Third Young Master's indulgence?!"

Hearing her words, Lu Jinxing couldn't help but sigh. Her little head was indeed not filled with straws. She was really smart.

"Shall we go together tomorrow?"

"Okay."

No matter what, Lu Jinxing was helping her, so Jiang Jiu naturally had to advance and retreat with him.

The next day, Jiang Jiu left the law firm after work and carefully got into Lu Jinxing's car. The black Bentley drove into the driveway. Lu Jinxing frowned unhappily. "Why are you sneaking around? Am I shameful?"

Jiang Jiu retracted her gaze. After confirming that no colleagues saw her, she said, "No, we'd better be careful."

Did she think that he didn't know about her thoughts? Lu Jinxing glanced at her coldly and didn't say anything else.

About 40 minutes later, Ji Chen drove to the suburbs. The townhouses built along the lake in front were luxurious and imposing, and they naturally occupied a lot of land.

This was the first time Jiang Jiu had come to the Gu family, and she couldn't help but be secretly shocked. The Gu family's ostentation wasn't inferior to the Lu family at all. One occupied the mountain, and the other faced the lake. No wonder everyone outside said that the Gu family's status was comparable to the Lu family.

Jiang Jiu lowered her eyes and began to understand. No wonder Lu Jinxing didn't show mercy to Gu Anning this time. The Gu family's arrogance was burning too brightly.

The car drove all the way into the Gu family's villa and stopped in front of the main building. The Gu couple personally stood in front of the door to welcome them. It could be said that they gave them enough respect. Lu Jinxing got out of the car and held Jiang Jiu's hand. The two of them walked side by side. "Uncle Gu."

"Third Young Master is here." Gu Tengda did not call him by his name. There was something else in his words.

When his gaze swept past Jiang Jiu, the smile in Gu Tengda's eyes deepened. "Third Young Master and Third Young Madam are a perfect match."

Jiang Jiu greeted them politely, not losing out to anyone in the formalities.

Walking into the living room, the magnificence once again far exceeded Jiang Jiu's imagination. Gilded paintings and antique calligraphy could be seen everywhere, indicating the ostentatiousness and extravagance of the Gu family.

Mrs. Gu instructed the servants to serve tea and at the same time, ordered someone to invite Gu Anning down. Although her daughter had already returned home, this matter was not over yet if Lu Jinxing did not relent.

On the sofa in the living room, Lu Jinxing crossed his legs. His expression was as usual.

Compared to Lu Jinxing's calmness, Jiang Jiu was a little nervous. She sat beside the man. Every time she saw his silent and reserved eyes, her uneasiness would stabilize.

"Anning has been spoiled by me since she was young," Gu Tengda said kindly. "Third Young Master, please don't be petty on account of our families' many years of friendship."

The wound on the back of Lu Jinxing's hand had already healed, and there was a faint scar. He picked up the tea bowl and played with it, but he had no intention of drinking it. It was blue and white porcelain, and it was worth at least a few million yuan on the market.

Jiang Jiu didn't understand this and looked around in boredom. Suddenly, she realized that a man was standing in front of the railing on the second floor. That person's long and narrow peach blossom eyes were staring at her intently.

Jiang Jiu knew him. He was the young master of the Gu family, Gu Peng. He was a famous playboy in the circle. He was a profligate son. Fortunately, Gu Peng did not stay long and disappeared quickly.

Even so, Jiang Jiu still felt uncomfortable when she thought of his gaze just now.

There were footsteps in the stairwell. Gu Anning reluctantly walked downstairs. When she saw Jiang Jiu, the anger in her eyes could shoot fire.

"Anning, quickly apologize to Third Young Master."

Hearing her father's words, Gu Anning turned around and walked towards Lu Jinxing. She really didn't mean to hurt his hand that day.

"Jinxing, I…"

The man looked up and interrupted Gu Anning before she could speak. "Miss Gu, you've made a mistake. The person you need to apologize to is my wife."

"…"

Everyone was stunned. The atmosphere changed drastically because of Lu Jinxing's words.

Jiang Jiu was also stunned. She met his gaze and only saw Lu Jinxing's gentle smile.
