My CEO Husband Has Some Issues - Chapter 2243 - 2245: Gu Linxi vs. Cui Jiangjing

Some were so scared they couldn’t even lift their heads, let alone use their sharp tongues to slander Gu Linxi like before.

Gu Ran’s face turned red and green in anger. Just now, she was inciting others to curse Gu Linxi while she stood aside pretending to be a good person. Now, facing the steamer, her pride was hurt. She didn’t dare offend Cui Jiangjing, so she forced herself to bypass him and greeted those inside.

“Sis, what a coincidence, you’re here for a meal too?”

Compared to them being dressed head to toe in designer brands, Gu Linxi dressed casually, even shabbily, but as soon as she sat down, her presence was undeniable, even among these offspring of the rich.

“Rubbish doesn’t stay in the dumps, coming out to be refined, this world is getting more and more magical.”

She called herself trash! Gu Ran realized this and showed a face of dare anger but not dare speech, her face red with anger, yet she dared not confront Gu Linxi head-on.

“Sis, whether you believe it or not, I didn’t come here following you, our encounter is just a coincidence.”

Gu Linxi raised her eyelids, her eyes adding a few more scrutinizing glances, “I believe you, why wouldn’t I? Right now, the person you least want to meet must be me, right?”

“…”

“Exactly, that’s how I feel too.”

Though she was merely stating the truth, Gu Ran felt as if she’d been slapped in the face for no reason, squeezing out a forced expression, “Since that’s the case, I’ll take my friends and leave first, we won’t eat here.”

The guy beside her, hearing this, anxiously tugged at her arm, lowering his voice and softly saying, “Ranran, didn’t you say you wanted to eat at this private kitchen? I went through a lot to secure a spot. If we don’t eat this time, who knows when we’ll get another chance? We can eat our food while your sister eats hers, it shouldn’t bother us, right…?”

This guy was one of the sycophants surrounding Gu Ran, his family ran a machine factory, with a bit of money, but compared to a truly noble family like Cui Jiangjing’s, it was certainly insignificant!

Upon hearing his reluctance, Gu Ran’s face darkened even more, glaring at him fiercely, and shook off his hand, “You stay and eat if you want, but I’m not eating.”

“No, Ranran, that’s not what I meant, don’t get upset.” Seeing the goddess angry, the rich second-generation sycophant quickly caught on and immediately said, “We won’t eat then, let’s go, there’s a good seafood restaurant nearby, we’ll have seafood for lunch, my treat.”

“Wait a moment.”

Just as they were about to leave, Cui Jiangjing suddenly called them back.

As soon as Mr. Cui spoke, even though these rich kids in Capital City were spoiled beyond imagination by their families, they still knew when to be cowed. The moment he called out, they didn’t utter a word, obediently stood in line, and turned around waiting for him to speak.

Cui Jiangjing casually draped an arm over Gu Linxi’s shoulder, still wearing a T-shirt with an auto repair shop’s advertisement, yet it did nothing to hide his inherent nobility. In a menacing tone, he said, “Before you leave, aren’t you forgetting something?”

The rich kids looked at each other, exchanging bewildered glances. Only Gu Ran, standing in the center, seemed to have realized something, casting a glance at Gu Linxi, her expression gradually darkening.

As expected.

Cui Jiangjing said, “Apologize to her.”

“…”

“Apologize to my girlfriend for what you just said.” His expression was indifferent, protecting the petite woman beside him with unrivaled grace, even though he knew she didn’t need his protection, he did so nonetheless, “I’m not holding grudges against you youngsters, you know well what you just said, apologize to my girlfriend.”
