Gao Ge picks up a call. It is from Lou Zhoutian.
He is a bit surprised but he still puts it through quickly.
“You are not going to Song City?” Lou Zhoutian asks lazily on the phone.
Gao Ge stays silent for a few seconds and then says slowly, “I haven’t decided yet.”
“Well, if you haven’t decided yet, take your time to think about it. You still have time,” Lou Zhoutian says, “A gentleman must be prudent but a true hero can’t be heartless.”
Gao Ge laughs, “Thank you for your concern, Mr. Lou.”
“Actually, it is the young people’s business. Supposedly, I shouldn’t intervene too much but everyone has his own period of confusion. I thought your teacher could deal with his problem well because I had confidence in him. However, the truth proves otherwise. You know the result. He didn’t handle it well. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be faced with the predicament now.”
Gao Ge is speechless.
In the hotel, Wu Jinxiu’s face is covered with traces of tears.“You, Xia Lu has gone too far! I just went to take a look at your future wife. What did she do? She hit me!”Wu You is drinking tea on the sofa, listening to Wu Jinxiu talk about what happened in the Xia Family’s house exaggeratedly.Wu Li is a bit unhappy. After hearing Wu Jinxiu out, he flies into a rage and even smacks his hand down onto the table, yelling, “The Xia Family is so outrageous! Just because there is a cultivator at the realm of Grand Master in their family, they can take us lightly at will?”“Hell no!” Wu Jinxiu hastens to chime in with him.Wu You heaves a sigh, puts down the teacup and squints at Wu Li, asking, “Do you really believe her?”“What?” Wu Li is muddled by his question and can’t figure out what he meant.“You, what do you mean? You think I lied to you?” Wu Jinxiu says in grief.Wu Y
After they do it, the room smells like rust.Wu You is still gasping heavily. Holding a cigarette, he looks composed and pleased.“You, what do you think is so special about the Xia Family?” Wu Jinxiu is leaning against Wu You’s chest like a lazy cat.“Xia Shengtang. And that is enough,” Wu You answers calmly.He raises his arm and flicks off the cigarette ash, which drops to the carpet.After a while, he stands up and puts out the cigarette. He turns around and says to Wu Jinxiu, “Have a rest first. I’ll go out to get some fresh air.”“Oh...” Wu Jinxiu nods her head. She is used to Wu You’s heartless style. After all, Wu You always treats her so casually.He puts on the clothes, pushes open the door and walks out of the hotel. It is about ten o’clock at night now.There are a lot of passers-by in the street. Wu You finds a barbecue stand and sits down.“Ten oy
The plane is about to land. “Uncle Lu, you had better not talk too much after we arrive at Shan City,” after thinking about it, Xie Zhuolian turns around and says to the middle-aged man next to her.The middle-aged man nods with a smile and says, “Your Ladyship, please rest assured. I know it well.”Then, Xie Zhuolian heaves a long sigh, her face clouded with worry.The middle-aged man ponders for a while and says, “Actually, Your Ladyship, don’t worry too much. It’s a good thing for Gao Ge. After all, there are so many cultivators hoping to join our family in the whole Huaxia.”“That being said,” Xie Zhuolian shakes her head and insists, “Uncle Lu, you haven’t dealt with Gao Ge before. Hence, you don’t know him. You are right. In Huaxia, a lot of people want to join the Xie Family but likewise, many people want to rope Gao Ge in too. However, by now, do you think they make it?”Uncle Lu nods his head and also f
In fact, Wu Jinxiu and Wu You didn’t communicate about this before. Of course, Wu Jinxiu also didn’t know that Wu You would say so now.However, her face is extremely calm as if everything were within expectation.She knows that she can be abandoned by Wu You anytime.If it were not for this merit of hers, Wu You wouldn’t tolerate her.Is she grieved?A little, more or less.Will she go mad or fall out?That is never going to happen in her life.After all, Wu Jinxiu is a smart woman. She knows clearly what role she plays in Wu You’s life.Therefore, she is still brimming with smiles now.The people around also look at Wu You with praise.In their eyes, Wu You is a man of sensibility. His attitude is also good enough to prove that he won’t look down upon the Xia Family. Besides, he must truly like Xia Lu so he comes to propose marriage.
All the resentment and anger just turn into her strength of kneeling.With a bang, a brick of the Xia Family’s yard is smashed by Wu Jinxiu with her knees. Every crack of the brick is like the shattered piece of her self-esteem.She never expected that she would fall into such a miserable situation for what she did yesterday.As to whether she regrets it, only she knows it well.All the people stare at Wu Jinxiu with complicated eyes.The ringleader is Xia Shengtang but he only stares into the distance as if what happens now had nothing to do with him.“Go ahead!” Wu You shouts through gritted teeth.Wu Jinxiu only kneels without moving.She thought it was good enough that she could be so humble.In fact, Wu You also thought so.However, Xia Shengtang’s attitude makes him realize that Xia Shengtang is still not satisfied.Wu You feels
“Now that the Dragon Court members are here, is he also coming?” Xia Shengtang walks to the woman in a cheongsam, saying with a sarcastic smile, “It will be the best if he doesn’t come. If he really comes, I will kick him out.”“Oh?” The woman squints at him and says, “You are so confident?”“Or else?” Xia Shengtang says confidently, “If I cannot deal with him, can I be Xia Lu’s brother?”The woman is dazed and cannot figure out what the relationship between the two matters is. Is the mindset of the cultivator at the realm of Master so different from that of an ordinary man?“Has he come here yet?” Xia Shengtang continues asking.The woman is a bit confused, “Do you want him to come or not?”Xia Shengtang cannot utter a word now. After a while, he snorts and says, “Women are so irrational.” Then, he just leaves.The woman feels so angry that she wants to give him a serious beating.
When the window is closed, the atmosphere gets a bit weird.Most people didn’t seem to expect Xia Lu to react like this.However, as they think of Xia Lu’s character, they suddenly seem to find it unsurprising.Yue Xincheng laughs happily.He was a bit worried before. After all, that he knows Gao Ge doesn’t mean that he also knows Xia Lu. Moreover, people always say that women’s minds are elusive, which is also the bitter lesson he learns from Su Hui and Qingrou.A woman’s mind is the most difficult thing to comprehend.Maybe, Xia Lu really falls for Wu You?Luckily, as it appears, it is basically impossible.Xia Lu is still Xia Lu. She is not changed at all. She never tries to cater to others. It was her style of doing things and still is now, which makes Yue Xincheng feel somewhat secure.Wu Li and Wu Jinxiu both subconsciously turn around and look at Wu You.
“Are you sure you are not running away?” The fox spirit asks the question again.Actually, it has asked this question tens of times these days.In fact, the fox spirit is in a pickle now.After all, Gao Ge asked it to protect Xia Lu. Now, she is not in danger. By reason, she doesn’t need protection from the fox spirit. Moreover, it has nothing to do with the fox spirit who Xia Lu wants to marry. However, if it really watches Xia Lu agree on another man’s marriage proposal and marry him...Will Gao Ge really not get mad?Regarding this question, the fox spirit feels that it will have a mental breakdown.This time, Xia Lu doesn’t answer the fox spirit’s question.She probably thinks that she has answered the question too many times so she can’t be bothered to answer again.Seeing Xia Lu really starts to dress and make up, the fox spirit can hardly retain its composure now.
