After the three people came, things basically had nothing to do with Jiang Muye.
Lu Tingxiao invited Michelin star chefs to come and cook for them, Lu Jingli had brought two bottles of fine wine from home, and Little Treasure monopolized Ning Xi.
Five people sat around the table in a strange atmosphere.
It was fortunate that Lu Jingli was here, which helped prevent an awkward silence. They ate and chatted idly.
"Come, letâs welcome home our big star! Second Uncle raises a glass to you!"
"Thank you!"
"By the way, I havenât been able to ask you yet, how do you know Xiao Xi Xi?" Lu Jingli fished for information casually for his brother.
Hearing this question, Jiang Muyeâs expression turned a little bad. It seemed he was reluctant to talk about it, and he replied vaguely, "We knew each other at school overseas. We graduated in the same year."
Lu Jingli squinted at him, and spoke meaningfully. "I donât think it was that simple, right? Donât tell me she was one of the ex-girlfriends you chased and then dumped? After all, the women around you, if theyâre not your mother or your fans, theyâre your ex-girlfriends!"
Jiang Muye: "âŚ"
Ning Xi laughed and gave Lu Jingli a thumbs-up. "Second Young Master, you're brilliant!"
"Oh, it seems I guessed right!" Lu Jingli was pleased with himself. As expected, there was nothing in this world that he couldnât guess correctly, haha.
"Only half right!" Jiang Muye contradicted with a blue face.
"Hmm? What do you mean?" Lu Jingli didnât understand.
"Sheâs my ex-girlfriend, thatâs true, but she was the one who chased me, and she was also the one who dumped me!" Jiang Muye said, glaring at Ning Xi in front of him like a bitter housewife.
After he said that, there was a faint gleam in Lu Tingxiaoâs cold eyes, as he helped to cut up steak for Ning Xi and Little Treasure.
Even Lu Jingli was stunned. After all, it was the first time his guess was wrong. He slapped his hands on the table with a bang, and asked excitedly, "Really? True or not? This doesnât make sense!"
Whatever Ning Xi did when she was abroad, she couldnât have been as absurd as Jiang Muye this kid, so he always thought that of the two, he could at least be sure that it had been Jiang Muye who made the first move. Who would have thought that in the endâŚ
Jiang Muye poked angrily at a steak rib. "If you don't believe me, you can ask her!"
Why did this issue have to be dragged up again when everything was going so well? Ning Xi said helplessly, "It was a complete accident!"
Lu Jingli, who at first had simply intended to fish for information for his brother, was now thoroughly fired up by the gossip, and was insanely curious to hear more. "What on earth is going on? Quick, tell me! Quick, quick, quick!"
Jiang Muye was speechless.
Youâre an elder, should you be gossiping about your juniorâs private life?
Ning Xi saw how ugly Jiang Muyeâs face had become, and she also didn't intend to embarrass him in front of his elders, so she replied, "Nothing special. At that time, so many girls in the school liked him, and I was just one of them. As for breaking up, it was probably because after we got together, I realized he was different from what I had imagined, so I was a bit disillusioned!"
Ning Xiâs words didnât seem odd, but Lu Jingli knew that things werenât that simple, otherwise Jiang Muye's expression wouldnât be like that.
Tsk, later Iâll force Jiang Muye that kid to drink a little more wine, then see if I can get anything more out of him.
Because Little Treasure was there, Ning Xi didnât drink tonight. After she finished eating, she sat at the table feeling a little bored, so she asked, "Mister Lu, can I take Little Treasure to go play games for a while?"
Lu Tingxiao nodded. "Go ahead."
The way he spoke to Ning Xi didnât seem very different, but it gave off the feeling that he was gentler with her than with other people.
Jiang Muye looked gloomy. It was clearly his game console, and the latest equipment that he had specially brought back home, yet she asked another man for permission, and took yet another man to go play!
