Chapter 1651: Chapter 1652: Overly Protective
âShe knows that I went on a blind date with you and deliberately humiliated me, saying something like Iâm just like my mom, which is why my mom gave birth to me. Would a normal person say such things to their aunt? Shouldnât I be angry?â
Cui Jiangjing hadnât turned around yet, or rather, his expression didnât change at all. There wasnât any emotion other than rejection and indifference towards her.
âI think youâd better go back and ask Mrs. Gu why Xixi would say that. She surely has her reasons; I believe she wouldnât slander any innocent person.â
Which means⊠Ning Qing is not innocent at all.
Gu Xueâs expression went from aggrieved and ashamed to blue with fury. Her eyes were filled with disappointment and disbelief. In the end, she bit her lip and swallowed her pride, saying, âSince Doctor Cui wants to protect her, I have nothing more to say. But as her child, I canât forgive her. Doctor Cui, youâre a nice person; I thought at least we could be friends⊠From now on letâs pretend we donât know each other.â
Cui Jiangjing is the most prestigious among the men she could meet; she was really unwilling to let go of such an excellent guy. After all, with Gu Linxiâs poor status, thereâs no way she could marry into the Cui Family. Madam Cui would always need someone to fill the position; maybe she could still bypass and succeed in reaching that position.
But today Gu Linxi joined forces with Cui Jiangjing to humiliate her mother. As her daughter, if she didnât show some reaction, sheâd really become a joke.
She hated Gu Linxi to death but couldnât do anything about it. After saying these words, no matter how reluctant she was, she could only pick up her handbag and turn to leave.
Who would have thought, at this moment, Cui Jiangjing suddenly called her.
âMiss Gu.â
Gu Xue was utterly disappointed in him, and she realized she had no chance. Who wouldâve guessed that just when she had given up hope, Cui Jiangjing seemed to stop her from leaving.
She couldnât describe the complex feelings in her heart, forced herself not to turn her head, and stiffly said, âIâve just made my point really clear and wonât change my mind.â
âI donât mean that, Miss Gu. You misunderstood. I stopped you just to explain that initially, when my mom mentioned going on a blind date with you, I rejected it. Later, I heard you were related to my girlfriend. At that time, I hadnât won her over yet and wanted to know more about her past, so knowing you two were sisters, I went. Later, I found that you knew less about her than I did, so I gave up the idea. You didnât mention it, so I wasnât aware she cared about this issue, hence why I wanted to explain.â
Gu Xue, ââŠâ
She never knew being humiliated could reach such a level. Thinking about how, a moment ago, she was still making self-critical remarks made her face burn with shame. The feeling of being crushed in spirit was so embarrassing that she lost the dignified demeanor she had always been proud of as a high-class young lady. After he finished speaking, she couldnât say a word, thankful she hadnât turned around to embarrass herself further, and fled hurriedly.
Her steps were staggered, with high heels making her run faster than walking, disappearing in an instant, showing how much she didnât want to stay.
âPhew.â Cui Jiangjing turned back only after she had left, grabbing the girlâs arm, his handsome brows unusually tense, âHow did you run into her?â
âHow should I know? Isnât it the place you chose for dinner?â
âIâŠâ Cui Jiangjing was rendered speechless, half of his frustration dissipated, and he said irritably, âYou blame me for this too. How would I know who would show up before choosing the place?â
