Lu Zhi stood still and his dark and deep eyes swept across the messy crowd before finally landing on Jiang Yining. He said coldly, “Didn’t I send you a message to go in first and not wait for me outside?”
“I didn’t see the message.” Jiang Yining shrugged.
She only cared about studying the code, how could she think of anything else?
Lu Zhi looked at her slightly pale face and quickly walked up to her.
Then, he took off his coat.
He threw it at her.
“Wear it.”
Jiang Yining was speechless.
Could he not use such a stiff tone when he tries to care for someone? It didn’t sound like he wanted her to put on the coat, but rather, it sounded like he wanted her to block a bullet.
However, she still tightened her grip on his jacket.
His clothes were still warm, and the smell made her feel a little drunk.
“Let’s go in.”
Lu Zhi retracted his gaze in satisfaction and was about to leave.
However, Jiang Yining said, “I’m afraid I can’t accompany you to the banquet tonight. The host doesn’t welcome me.”
Lu Zhi stopped in his tracks.
Tao Niannian snorted and said in a coquettish tone, “Big Brother Ah Zhi, it’s your freedom to be with whoever you want. As an outsider, I won’t interfere. But today is my birthday party. I’m not happy that you’re bringing some shady people over. Please let her go.”
“Did you hear that? Jiang Yining looked at Lu Zhi calmly.
She didn’t feel that there was anything embarrassing about being blocked outside the door.
She was not very willing to attend a grand banquet because she was afraid of meeting Gu Zhanqing.
Now that she was asking her to leave, she only needed Lu Zhi’s approval.
She would leave immediately!
Lu Zhi frowned. “Since you won’t let Yining in, I won’t go either. This is a gift for you. Please tell your grandfather that I came over, but you chased me away.”
Tao Niannian looked at him in disbelief. “You’re leaving just like that?”
The Tao family and the Lu family had been friends for generations and had a good relationship.
The Lu family was a very important presence at the birthday party, how could he just leave like that?
“Didn’t you chase us away?”
“I only wanted her to leave!” Tao Niannian emphasized.
“She’s my wife. If you chase her away, you’re chasing me away. Either the two of us go in together or we both leave. You decide for yourself.”
Lu Zhi’s attitude was domineering.
Tao Niannian was furious. This little vixen really had some tricks up her sleeve!
She was able to make Lu Zhi stand up for her and even destroy the relationship between the Lu family and the Tao family.
“Since you’re unwilling, we’ll take our leave.”
Lu Zhi only waited for a few seconds before he held Jiang Yining’s hand and turned to leave.
Tao Niannian panicked.
It was true that her family doted on her, but they were not ambiguous when it came to important matters.
If her grandfather knew that she had chased Lu Zhi away, he would definitely punish her!
“Don’t go! I won’t tell her to get lost, okay?”
Tao Niannian gave in.
“Please apologize to my wife,” Lu Zhi stopped and said coldly.
“Why should I apologize to her? I didn’t do anything wrong!”
Tao Niannian’s expression changed as she shouted.
“You just accused her of being indecent and even chased her away in front of so many people. Shouldn’t you apologize?” Lu Zhi’s gaze was as cold as ice. “If you don’t apologize, I will never step foot into the Tao family again.”
Tao Niannian felt so aggrieved that her eyes turned red.
Instead of helping Kexin teach this third party a lesson, she allowed herself to be humiliated again and again.
But she had no other choice…
After all, the Lu family and the Tao family still had many important collaborations.
There was absolutely no benefit to falling out.
After a moment of silence, Tao Niannian said word by word, “I’m sorry. Is that okay?”
“Miss Tao, what did you say? I can’t hear you.”
Jiang Yining said calmly.
“I’m sorry.”
Tao Niannian apologized again, and she no longer gritted her teeth.
Jiang Yining smiled and said magnanimously, “Ah Zhi, Miss Tao is just playing with me. Don’t scold her.” She turned to Tao Niannian and said with a faint smile, “Don’t you think so, Miss Tao?”
Tao Niannian ignored her and said with a straight face, “Please come in..”
