Chapter 56 Everyone Looks Like Gu Huaizhou?
Just as Li Xi finished eating the crab roe soup dumplings, she noticed Gu Zhen's gaze was fixed on the area behind her.
"Is that your adopted sister?"
Li Xi turned around and saw the manager leading a young couple dressed in expensive clothes into the room.
Li Xi had never seen the man before, but he immediately recognized the watch on the man's wrist as an Audemars Piguet Christmas limited edition from five years ago.
Only 5 pieces will be released worldwide.
That year, Xie Jiaoyue wanted to buy this watch as a birthday gift for Gu Huaizhou, but she failed to purchase it.
This watch, which was originally priced at 16 million, was only sold to distinguished high-end VIP clients.
This shows that the stranger's identity is not ordinary.
The woman standing next to the man was wearing a mask and a high-necked black trench coat, but Li Xi still recognized her as Xie Jiaoyue.
Knowing that Xie Jiaoyue was deeply in love with Gu Huaizhou, Li Xi didn't think much of it and assumed that Xie Jiaoyue was having dinner with her friends.
After all, she is the daughter of the Xie family and a big star, so it's normal for her to know some men of high status.
Even though Li Xi hated Xie Jiaoyue's hypocrisy and despicable nature, she wouldn't assume that Xie Jiaoyue's relationship with a man was ambiguous just because she saw her with him.
Li Xi looked away, scooped a spoonful of caviar onto Gu Zhen's plate, and said, "Don't look at dirty things while you're eating."
"This caviar is delicious."
The caviar was plump and round, with a mild fishy and salty taste, probably because the chef used some special method to process it.
Li Xi is someone who can't stand the fishy smell, but she also thinks this caviar tastes great.
Gu Zhen then obediently focused on eating.
Behind them, Xie Jiaoyue and the man, led by the manager, walked to table number 8 behind them.
Xie Jiaoyue glanced around and saw that there were only two tables of people on the entire terrace, and the guests at table number 9 were also strangers.
Only then did she feel relieved enough to take off her mask.
"The sun is so strong, and your collar is completely covered up. Aren't you hot?" Zhou Yaoguang looked at Xie Jiaoyue's fully armed appearance with amusement.
Xie Jiaoyue glared fiercely at the culprit, "Why do you think I'm dressed so conservatively?"
Zhou Yaoguang chuckled.
He picked up his glass of red wine, took a small sip, and apologized with a smile: "I'll be more careful next time, and I'll make sure there's no trace left where I shouldn't leave it."
Their voices weren't actually very loud.
But Li Xi's hearing was truly exceptional.
Her eyes widened slightly.
Is this man Xie Jiaoyue's new lover?
Did Xie Jiaoyue wear a turtleneck coat to hide hickeys?
Good guy!
Grandpa Gu's birthday banquet just ended a few days ago, and Xie Jiaoyue has already found a new love?
The staff started serving the dishes, and Xie Jiaoyue and Zhou Yaoguang stopped talking about those ambiguous topics.
Li Xi finished eating, put down her chopsticks, and picked up a damp cloth to wipe her mouth when she suddenly heard the man behind her say, "Are you going to the charity auction tonight?"
Xie Jiaoyue nodded, "Yes, I'll go with my brother."
"What about you?"
Zhou Yaoguang: "Go, I'll go with her."
Xie Jiaoyue had no particular thoughts upon hearing this.
But the thought of having a hickey on her neck and not being able to wear a pretty dress that night made Xie Jiaoyue a little irritable.
She wasn't in the mood to eat, so she just drank something and rinsed her mouth.
"Not eating?" Zhou Yaoguang laughed. "This restaurant is hard to book. I'm a VIP member, and I only get one chance a month to cut in line."
"I brought you here specifically to enjoy the food, and you're just going to be so disrespectful to me?"
Xie Jiaoyue wasn't interested, saying, "Celebrities need to maintain their figure."
“You guys are living such a boring life.” But then Zhou Yaoguang added, “But girls look better when they’re a little thin.”
"Women whose eyes light up at the sight of food are usually from poor families and haven't seen much of the world..."
When Li Xi saw the dishes on her table that she had almost completely eaten, she felt a sense of being betrayed.
Gu Zhen had obviously heard Zhou Yaoguang's words as well.
Seeing Li Xi staring blankly at the empty plate on the table, he calmly comforted Li Xi: "My grandfather likes children who eat well the most. He says that children who eat well are healthy."
"Only children who know how to eat well can manage their lives well."
"When I have the chance, I'll take you home to have a meal with my grandfather. If he sees you, he'll definitely be very pleased with you."
After saying that, Gu Zhen waved to the manager and said, "Excuse me, could you please bring us two bowls of digestive tea soup?"
"Okay, Mr. Gu."
Mr. Gu?
Xie Jiaoyue subconsciously looked up, her gaze passing over Zhou Yaoguang and Li Xi, and landing on Gu Zhen.
She scrutinized Gu Zhen's appearance and felt increasingly that he looked familiar.
But I can't remember where I've seen it before.
"What are you looking at?" Zhou Yaoguang waved his hand in front of Xie Jiaoyue's eyes and said with a half-smile, "I'm telling you, you don't have to assume that just because someone has the surname Gu, it's Gu Huaizhou."
Zhou Yaoguang glanced back at Gu Zhen, then quickly looked away and asked Xie Jiaoyue, "Have you looked enough? Is that your Gu Huaizhou?"
Xie Jiaoyue had never seen Gu Huaizhou's true face.
But she recognized Gu Huaizhou's voice.
Gu Huaizhou's voice sounds warm and refined at first glance, but upon closer listening, it feels cold and distant.
Mr. Gu's voice is quite the opposite; at first listen, it sounds cold, but upon closer listening, it becomes delicate and heartwarming.
It was just a coincidence.
Xie Jiaoyue lowered her eyes, picked up her juice and took a sip, saying thoughtfully, "This person looks familiar."
Where have you seen it before?
On the day Jiang Qingkong got engaged to Xie Xingyun, Gu Zhen appeared for a very short time, and Xie Jiaoyue did not speak to him face to face.
Therefore, she felt a sense of familiarity with Gu Zhen's face, but couldn't remember where she had seen him before.
Zhou Yaoguang smiled noncommittally and teased Xie Jiaoyue: "You're thinking about that person, so you see his shadow in everyone you meet."
"Then look at me, don't I resemble your sweetheart a little?"
Xie Jiaoyue said expressionlessly, "In what way can you compare to him?"
These words sounded heartless and cruel, but Zhou Yaoguang laughed, "Haha, it's good that it doesn't seem like it."
He hates being used as a stand-in.
Even if it's just a bed partner, he doesn't want to be a substitute.
Li Xi never expected that she could get such a juicy juicy story about Xie Jiaoyue while having a meal. She rested her chin on her hand and sipped her digestive soup slowly.
Only after Xie Jiaoyue and Zhou Yaoguang at the next table got up and left did she put down her spoon and say to Gu Zhen, "Let's go too."
Gu Zhen knew that she was intentionally avoiding Xie Jiaoyue, but he was tactful enough not to pry into the affairs between the sisters.
As they were leaving, they noticed that Gu Zhen hadn't paid the bill, and the manager hadn't reminded them either.
"Don't we need to pay?" Li Xi was worried that they would become a trending topic on Douyin (TikTok) for dining and dashing.
"No need," Gu Zhen said. "I'm the second largest shareholder."
Upon hearing this, Li Xi gave Gu Zhen a meaningful look.
"Don't look at me like that." Gu Zhen said helplessly, "I'm not short of money, and I've never hidden this from you."
“I know you’re rich.” But what Li Xi wants to know now is, “Do you have a lot of money?”
"Ah."
Li Xi restrained himself and did not press the matter further, as it would be impolite to ask any more questions.
After dinner, Li Xi asked Gu Zhen what they were going to do next. Gu Zhen offered several options, saying, "Because I don't know your preferences, I didn't make any arrangements on my own."
Because he didn't know whether Li Xi would wear high heels or flats today, and considering that Li Xi's health might not be able to handle it, Gu Zhen did not make a hasty decision.
