Chapter 829: Chapter 829: How can you not even keep an eye on one person?!
Yu Li reached out to take Jiang Li’s bag.
“It’s cold at night, let walk you ho.”
Jiang Li had already sent Ji Yanbai back early on, and since Yu Li offered, she was naturally willing.
Yu Qing saw her agree and gave a knowing smile, even running ahead to claim she would pick the best car for Yu Li.
Yu Li shook his head helplessly at her departing figure.
“Sorry, Yu Qing is spoiled, she can be thoughtless at tis.”
“No worries.” Jiang Li also looked over, “She’s quite cute, and not impolite at all.”
“That’s good then.”
The two of them talked as they walked out of the house.
Yu Qing was probably overwheld by the choices in the garage as she didn’t co out for a long ti.
Yu Li had no choice but to let Jiang Li wait by the front gate.
But before they exchanged a few words, a car horn suddenly blared.
Yu Li thought it was Yu Qing coming over with the car, but upon closer inspection, the license plate wasn’t theirs.
Just as he was puzzled, the car stopped, and a familiar person stepped out.
The mont he saw that person, the light in Yu Li’s eyes flickered.
Jiang Li was also a bit surprised.
“Zhao Lang? What are you doing here?”
Zhao Lang naturally opened the passenger side door.
“Of course, I’m here to pick you up.”
Jiang Li: ?
Changqing, who had also co out, witnessed this scene and unexpectedly gave a knowing smile.
Yu Li was silent for a mont, then handed the bag back to Jiang Li.
“Since Mr. Gu is here to pick you up, I won’t be escorting you then.”
“Alright.”
Jiang Li took the bag and naturally walked over to Zhao Lang.
As she stopped in front of him, she even reached out to pat his shoulder.
“Isn’t Young Master Gu usually very busy? Why suddenly decide to grace with your presence today?”
Zhao Lang chuckled, resting his hand on the car door, “Get in and we’ll talk.”
Just as Zhao Lang drove away, Yu Qing ca out with the car.
Seeing Yu Li standing alone at the gate, she was extrely puzzled.
“Where’s Lili? You didn’t let her go back on her own, did you?”
“No.” Yu Li’s expression was calm, “Gu Yu just ca to pick her up.”
Yu Qing: ???!!!
“What?!” She was so anxious she almost stamped her feet in place, “I was only gone for a little over ten minutes!”
She knew a bit about Gu Yu and Jiang Li’s situation.
After all, she already sensed sothing was off when watching Wilderness Survival.
But with matters of feelings, who can say for sure?
In her eyes, the Gu Family is much more complicated than theirs, maybe her brother has a better chance.
Thinking of this, Yu Qing crossed her arms in frustration, “What’s wrong with you, couldn’t even keep an eye on soone?”
Yu Li looked in the direction they left, his eyes deep.
It was a long ti before he spoke softly, “Because I think the captain seems more relaxed when with him.”
He could see that Jiang Li was always very polite and never made any slips.
Only in front of Gu Yu did she temporarily hide that politeness that actually concealed her distance.
It was very clear.
She sowhat rejected physical contact with outsiders, yet never shy away from contact with Gu Yu.
Even her own brother said so, Yu Qing had no choice but to sigh and shake her head as she turned back inside.
Yu Li turned and found that Changqing was still standing not far away, smiling.
When their gazes t, Changqing chuckled, waving a dust whisk.
“Well, then I trouble Young Master Yu to see this poor monk back ho.”
…
After driving for a while, Jiang Li couldn’t help but ask, “So you ca to find because…”
Zhao Lang smiled, “Can’t you predict things? Try guessing.”
Jiang Li also smiled, “Do you really want to guess?”
“Yes.”
She fiddled with her fingers for a bit and said, “Void, ChiKou, speedy joy. Judging from the signs, you had a verbal argunt with soone, and there aren’t many people in All of Jing City who can argue with you, it’s likely your elder.”
“Just a while ago at the Yu Family dinner, Mr. Yu suddenly wanted to take a photo with . He was fiddling with his phone with so pride afterwards. If anyone could trigger this behavior, it could only be soone of his own generation, and given the amicable ties between your two families, it’s likely your grandfather.”
“I boldly guess that Mr. Yu sent photos of dining with to your grandfather. Your grandfather has long wanted to invite to your ho for a al, but I went to the Yu Family first and was mocked by Mr. Yu, and in his anger, placed the bla on you, am I right?”
Zhao Lang: “………….”
He gave an embarrassed cough.
“Sorry, next ti I won’t let you guess, you’re about to strip bare.”
Jiang Li smiled, withdrawing her gaze, “As long as you know.”
“So, are you willing?”
“Willing for what?”
“To co to my house for dinner.”
Taking advantage of the red light, Zhao Lang earnestly looked at her, “You don’t want to see getting kicked out of my house, do you?”
Jiang Li raised an eyebrow, “Is it just because of this?”
“Of course not,” Zhao Lang said, “Primarily because personally, I really want you to co. This is the most important reason.”
Jiang Li pondered briefly and then suddenly smiled.
“I’m open to dinner, but I have another proposal.”
“What proposal?”
“Are your family close with the Rong Family?”
Zhao Lang nodded without much thought, “Yes.”
But he quickly added, “But I have no special relationship with that Rong Kexi.”
“I know.” Jiang Li looked straight ahead at the car, her eyes deep, “So you can invite them too, right?”
Zhao Lang slightly furrowed his brow, “You want to dine with them? Why?”
To his knowledge, their family doesn’t get along well with the Rong Family.
“You don’t need to worry about that, just invite them over.”
“Alright, I’ll tell my grandfather as soon as I get back.”
Jiang Li looked at him.
“Aren’t you going to ask why?”
Zhao Lang chuckled, the dim car lights reflecting in his eyes.
“As long as you don’t commit murder or arson at my house, my grandparents are old, they can’t take such scares.”
Jiang Li laughed.
“Of course not.”
After all, rather than using weapons, she prefers to kill without leaving a trace.
As if afraid she would change her mind, Zhao Lang quickly said, “It’s settled then, next month on the fifteenth, don’t stand up.”
Jiang Li patted his shoulder, “Rest assured, since I’ve promised you, I won’t go back on my word.”
“But…” Jiang Li’s smile turned reflective, “That Rong Family’s young miss seems to have a thing for you. Are you sure inviting her won’t stir up trouble?”
Zhao Lang sighed exaggeratedly.
“What can I do? Since you said it, I have to comply, but don’t worry.”
He looked at her through the rearview mirror, giving a soft smile, “Do whatever you want, I’ll back you up.”
Jiang Li was taken aback, slowly turning her head.
“Since you like taking on things, prepare an outfit for the banquet for . I can’t be bothered with the hassle.”
Zhao Lang: ?
“What, can’t do it?”
“I can, leave it to .”
