My CEO Husband Has Some Issues - Chapter 2232 - 2234: Gu Linxi vs Cui Jiangjing

“Beep…”

The phone rang a full eight times.

A mechanical female voice came through again: “Sorry, the number you dialed is currently on a call, please try again later.”

“Tsk.” She leaned against the wall, her long and straight beautiful legs resting by the side of it. Suddenly, she curled her lips into a sneer, her plain features were suddenly lit with color, both beautiful and fierce, captivating at first glance.

Gu Linxi lowered her eyelids, watching her phone as she redialed that number.

“Beep…”

This time it was quicker, it disconnected after three rings.

Her pale fingers gripped the phone as she pulled up the contact list, sending over a text message.

[I don’t do the same thing four times, don’t test me.]

After the message was successfully sent, she dialed the number again.

“Beep…”

This time the phone rang over a dozen times, no one answered and no one hung up. It was clear the person on the other end was struggling internally, but finally, before hanging up, they picked up.

“Hello, Xi-jie, sorry, I just took a call and didn’t notice yours come in. Is there something you need?”

Gu Linxi, hearing her affected voice, instinctively touched her pocket, only to find that her shorts had no pockets. She hadn’t brought her usual tea plums used to quit smoking. Just when a worker finished smoking and casually left the lighter on the cabinet next to her and forgot it, she picked it up and toyed with it, lowering her gaze, silently processing her anxiety and annoyance.

“Gu Nuan, is your face made of titanium?”

The person on the other end clearly had an unstable breath, “What do you mean by that?”

She flicked the lighter open, and a wisp of bluish flame emerged. The flame reflected in her eyes, deep and unfathomable, indifferent like a demon.

“If the call connected, it can’t just turn into a call in progress midway unless the person answering hung up. Even a kindergartener knows this common sense, and yet you still have the nerve to lie, so I’m asking if your face is made of titanium.”

“…”

Her little scheme being exposed and laid bare, Gu Ran’s face lost its light, her voice irritated and urgent, “I’m not as disgusting as you say, I was just on another call and didn’t catch yours. Do you have to be so harsh? After all, we’re relatives!”

Of course, she didn’t want to admit having a car mechanic sister!

Every time she dined with equally positioned socialites in Lin City, someone would always bring up Gu Linxi, maliciously commenting like, ’I heard your cousin opened a car repair shop in Capital City, should go support her business,’ just to disgust her.

She deeply felt ashamed of having such a relative at home!

But now that she’s participated in a talent show, with a high chance of debuting in the entertainment circle to become a star, it’s inevitable that her relatives will be dug up by gossipers, she has no choice but to acknowledge them.

Gu Linxi, unwilling to bicker further with her, directly questioned, “You said on the show that I stole your boyfriend?”

The previously aggressive person suddenly deflated, becoming guilty, “Who told you that? Oh, this I need to explain, I was playing a game with them and lost. They kept pestering me about relationships, and I just randomly made up an excuse. Who knew online strangers would pin this on you, my bad.”

She casually said ’my bad,’ not even willing to say sorry.

Gu Linxi smiled, extinguished the flame of the lighter, and started playing with it again. Her lips, thin with a slight chill, twitched casually, “So you’re saying, the person who posted my information online has nothing to do with you? You also don’t know that your fans came to cause trouble for me.”
