Chapter 110 Who Is She Holding?
The day Lu Zheng drowned was also the day of Lu Chi's wedding.
She and Gu Jingyan also attended the wedding that day, but did not see Lu Zheng at that time.
Because it was a beach wedding, it was still a bit far from the city center, so the Lu family booked a lot of rooms in a seaside hotel for the convenience of guests.
However, just after the wedding that day, they received a call from home, saying that the old lady had fallen, so they did not spend the night there and hurried back.
The drowning incident occurred on the night they left.
There are many rumors about what exactly happened, but the Lu family has never given a clear reason to the outside world, only saying that it was an accident.
The guests staying at the hotel that night had no idea about this. When they knew it, the hospital vehicle had already taken the person away, and he was pronounced dead not long after.
The wedding turned into a funeral, and the white-haired people gave away the black-haired people.
It is unknown what kind of mental journey the Lu family went through that day.
I only know that Lu Zheng's funeral was handled very low-key, and there were very few media reports on the matter.
When people in the Jiangcheng circle mentioned Lu Zheng, they couldn't help but say "retribution", but Qiao Ruoxing always felt sorry for him.
On the wedding day, although Lu Zheng appeared drunk, Qiao Ruoxing did not smell the smell of alcohol at all when he passed by.
He was not causing trouble when he was drunk at all. She was more willing to believe that he was doing chivalrous acts through being drunk.
It's just that this person has passed away, and the truth can no longer be explored, but the gratitude is always there, which is why she can easily feel good about Lu Chi when she looks at his identical face.
"That's what happened. If it hadn't been for Lu Zheng's intervention, I would have been taken to the hospital on our wedding night," Qiao Ruoxing said calmly, "Before I had time to repay the favor, they left. Now Lu Chi has come to ask for me. Help, even for Lu Zheng’s sake, I have to help.”
Gu Jingyan looked at Qiao Ruoxing with complicated eyes, and asked after a long time, "Why have you never mentioned these things to me in the future?"
Qiao Ruoxing smiled and raised her eyes to look at him, "Gu Jingyan, when you left me alone at the wedding, didn't you think about what would happen?"
Gu Jingyan pursed his lips, his Adam's apple slid, and after a moment of silence he said, "I have something urgent that day."
Qiao Ruoxing lowered her eyes, "You always have things to do."
When she got married, when her mother was critically ill, when she needed signatures from family members in the hospital...
As long as Yao Kexin calls, she will always be the forgotten one. After too many times, she never wants to talk about it again.
Gu Jingyan pressed the corners of his lips and said nothing for a long time.
Although she was trying to fool Gu Jingyan to prevent him from exploring the true purpose of her willingness to help, she didn't feel so good when she actually cut open the scar.
"Anyway, I have agreed to help with this. If you think it will embarrass your Gu family, we will go through the formalities first. When your family asks about it, I am not considered a Gu family, and I will not involve you."
Gu Jingyan had a sullen face and glanced at her with an unkind expression, "You can take pictures if you want. Anyway, I won't be embarrassed by you once or twice!"
Qiao Ruoxing...
She was just about to talk to Gu Jingyan about how she had embarrassed him, when she saw that most of the lights in the audience were extinguished, with only a few left, dimly.
"Dear guests, please come forward in an orderly manner, avoid crowding, and avoid stampedes. I am as excited as everyone else, but safety comes first. Please put away your mobile phones and do not take pictures. The flash of your mobile phone will affect the display effect of the Luminous Pearl. We have The professional photography team will record the entire display process for a while and send it to everyone's mobile phones..."
It turns out that the Night Pearl is coming.
Qiao Ruoxing walked forward unconsciously, and Gu Jingyan followed him with pursed lips.
After all the mobile phones in the audience were turned off, the lights above their heads were also turned off one after another. There was only the faint red light from the infrared monitor and the green light from the escape tunnel.
It was pitch dark all around, and even if you stood very close to the person next to you, you couldn't see their face clearly.
I can't see my fingers.
"Thank you all for your cooperation," the host's voice sounded again, "Next, please let our staff lift the curtain and enjoy this rare treasure that has been sealed for more than two thousand years."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a faint light emitting from the stage. As the curtains were lowered, the light gradually spread out to the surroundings until all the curtains fell. The soft lavender light instantly enveloped the front stage, and the body emitting this light , which is exactly a bead the size of a table tennis ball inside a glass cover.
There was a burst of exclamation around.
It’s not like everyone has seen night pearls before, but most of them are turquoise light, or yellow-white light. This kind of lavender light is the first time for many people to see it.
People who were far away couldn't see clearly, so they pushed forward.
Qiao Ruoxing staggered due to the squeeze. The person next to her put an arm around her waist, brought her into his arms, and used his body to protect her between the display cabinet and himself.
Gu Jingyan seemed like a human being today and knew how to protect her. Is it because those words she just said made him feel a little guilty?
The host was introducing the origin of Ye Mingzhu on the stage, but there were still people squeezing forward. From time to time, a fingernail or bag would touch Qiao Ruoxing, and she would shrink into the arms of the person behind her.
The person behind him stiffened for a moment, and moved back unconsciously, keeping some distance from her.
Qiao Ruoxing frowned, "You bitch, if you dislike her so much, why did you sleep with her before?"
She gritted her teeth and moved closer to him, but he still dodged. Qiao Ruoxing was annoyed and simply reached out to hug his waist, "If you push me away, I will tell grandma that you have a mistress outside and want to divorce me!"
The other party paused and really stopped moving.
Qiao Ruoxing maintained this posture and looked at the night-shining pearl on the stage.
The light emitted by the pearl was very beautiful. The host on the stage slowly told the origin of the pearl.
This pearl was produced in Yan State and was awarded to his beloved concubine by a king. After several transfers, it became a burial object of a lady in the Yuan Dynasty. Later, the tomb was robbed and the pearl was lost abroad. Mo Shiyun saw it at an auction by chance and spent 8 million US dollars to buy it.
In order to let people from all over the country who came for no reason to appreciate the charm of the night-shining pearl, an exhibition will be held in the middle of each month from now on, and it will be officially donated to the National Museum at the end of the year.
Qiao Ruoxing listened for a long time before he understood that the exhibition of the night-shining pearl was a gimmick, using it to attract people to participate in the jewelry exhibition, and the real purpose was to sell jewelry.
"The sales volume of jewelry this evening alone must far exceed the money earned from bidding for this bead. If it is exhibited eight or ten times, the money earned will be enough to buy dozens of beads. It seems that Lawyer Mo's aunt is quite similar to you, with a dark heart."
The person in his arms was stunned for a moment, and Gu Jingyan's voice came from behind, "Qiao Ruoxing, who are you talking to?"
Qiao Ruoxing was stunned. Why did this voice come from behind?
Gu Jingyan was behind?
Then who was she holding?
