Chapter 261 His Past 3
Even though he thought Gu Xixi was dead, he still kept his promise to her. He had been paying tribute to her for three years after her death. Three years later, he gathered his feelings and returned to China to find Qiao Xia. Before that, Qiao Xia was just a responsibility to him.
A beautiful responsibility.
Mu Liang had lived for more than 20 years. He was always quick and decisive. He never hesitated on anything. Even if he hesitated, he could make the right choice.
This time, he hesitated.
He would hurt someone in the end.
Gu Xixi had lost too much.
Qiao Xia woke up the next day. Most of the people in the circle downstairs were strangers to her.
Gu Xiaowu was also downstairs, Fang Manning, Liao Mengying and others, as well as a group of men and women. She knew Lu Bai and Lin Jingsheng. Lu Bai sat aside with a cold look in his eyes, forming a circle by himself. He always looked pale, but he was particularly handsome.
Qiao Xia always suspected that Lu Bai could faint at any time.
The others were all around Gu Xixi, asking about her well-being. It was conceivable that Gu Xixi should be a princess in Mu Liang's circle of friends. Qiao Xia stood at the stairs, feeling like a needle piercing her heart.
The other party entered her house with the attitude of a hostess. Her husband's friends all knew her well. Gu Xixi was very popular. What about her?
"Baby, where are your manners? You didn't even say hello to your brother when you saw him in the morning." Lu Bai was the first to find her. He looked at her gently and stood up as if he was welcoming his princess.
Qiao Xia was quite surprised to see so many people in the house after waking up one night.
"Brother." Qiao Xia was willing to follow suit. Since Lu Bai wanted to be her elder brother, she was naturally happy. She and Lu Bai were not familiar with each other at all, but she was grateful that Lu Bai helped her in such an embarrassing situation.
The people around Gu Xixi looked at Qiao Xia with very complicated eyes. Some of them even showed a kind of impoliteness that the hostess had returned and you didn't leave quickly.
Qiao Xia felt cold on her back. Who gave them the confidence to be so rude to her in her home!
Lin Jingsheng interrupted with a smile, "Abo, you are going too far. You have taken all the good things. Why should the little goddess recognize you as her brother? Little goddess, how about I be your brother too?"
Qiao Xia smiled, "Hello, just call me Xia Xia."
"Little goddess, you have a nickname called Da Qiao, right? I'll call you Da Qiao. You can tell you are a beauty at first glance." Lin Jingsheng is also a wonderful person, as if he didn't know the embarrassment in the living room.
There is no way. Gu Xixi is indeed too popular, and Qiao Xia does not belong to their circle. He is not surprised that he can't get recognition all of a sudden. What surprised him was that Lu Bai liked her so much. Lu Bai never had any sympathy for women.
It was rare that he was waiting to help her out.
"Madam, have breakfast." Mrs. Pan came over with a smile, "Young Master's friends have all had breakfast, I left a portion for you."
"Okay."
Gu Xiaowu kept silent on the side, Lin Jingsheng and Lu Bai went over to have breakfast with her, Fang Manning's eyes were full of gloating, although she was surprised that Gu Xixi was alive, but no one knew what happened back then, she felt proud when she thought of Qiao Xia's future fate, even if she couldn't get it, if that person was Gu Xixi, she would still be willing, what about Qiao Xia, why did she get Mu Liang's love.
Qiao Xia ate this breakfast without any taste.
She knew that Lin Jingsheng and Lu Bai were kind and well-intentioned, afraid that she would be embarrassed, everyone in this room had some relationship with Gu Xixi, and they were very good friends, she and Mu Liang were the blessed couple.
She was like a woman inserted between them, unwelcome.
This was her home.
