Chapter 179
I ask Gu Chi to spare you all. Consider it as me repaying you for your bloodline." 。From now on, I don't want to have any more relations with the Lin family. I think you've always felt this way too....Cheng Luo ordered a cup of Italian espresso and then said to Ji Xiangru, "You're still the same as always, nothing has changed. What time hasn't there been a beautiful woman around the prodigal son Ji Xiangru"
Ji Xiangru smiled and nodded, saying, "No need for formalities between us, haha."
Cheng Luo said, “Well then. What brings you to see me today despite your busy schedule”
"Huh Can only things bring you to look for me" This Cheng Luo really knows people, thought Ji Xiangru.
Cheng Luo said, "If other people don't understand you, do I not understand you"
Ji Xiangru thought, it's better to be straightforward with Cheng Luo and not beat around the bush. But then he thought again, what if Cheng Luo didn't admit it He'd have to resort to a roundabout strategy.
He asked him, "Cheng Luo, do you know about the closing of my silk factory a while back"
Cheng Luo nodded, spread his hands, and said: "I heard that it shut down instantly. It's amazing. You really don't care about the factory at all, what a pity!"
“Isn’t that right! What a pity!” Ji Xiangru cursed inwardly, damn it, all because of that goddamn cunning Gu Chi, otherwise his silk scarf wouldn't have been so popular and wouldn't have had to close down! Thinking about this, his heart ached!
Ji Xiangru's eyes rolled, and she asked Cheng Luo, "I remember two years ago, I gave you several silk scarves, right You didn't lose those scarves, did you"
Cheng Lu couldn't guess what Ji Xiangru was trying to say. It was obvious there was something hidden behind his words, but he wasn't being direct.
He deliberately said, “Things that happened two years ago are so long gone, how could I possibly remember clearly”
Ji Xiangru still wanted to make sure.
He hung his head, sighed, and decided to just be direct. "Alright, you're always smarter than me, I won't beat around the bush. Just say it. I did give you a silk scarf two years ago, right"
Cheng Luo admitted that he had given her several.
Ji Xiangru then asked, "So, did you go to the Century Hotel two years ago Did you meet a beautiful woman who had been drugged Did you sleep with her Did you take off her scarf"
Cheng Luo listened, the matter was quite serious, and he hurriedly said, “Wait a minute, what’s going on here Can you explain things clearly What kind of drug, woman, sleeping”
Ji Xiangru also couldn't bring himself to tell Gu Chi the whole story about Su Kexin, after all, he didn't want to embarrass his good friend.
He said, "Did you go to the Century Grand Hotel two years ago"
Cheng Luo carefully recalled the important things that happened two years ago.
He answered him, "I have been there."
Ji Xiangru's eyes widened immediately when he heard Cheng Luo had been there, and he asked, "Did you see a woman who was drugged"
Cheng Luo said, "No. I've seen plenty of women, all of whom were smitten with me. Women who were drugged... none."
"Haven't you slept either"
Cheng Luo tilted her head, looking at Ji Xiangru. What was he up to today
He replied, "Don't you know me I'm famous for being a saint. Don't you know that I like women, but I'm a very principled person, not you."
Ji Xiangru also felt that this was true. Cheng Luo was indeed known for his integrity. Among the people in the circle, every time they went out to have a good time, only Cheng Luo never went, and there had never been any gossip about him.
He truly is a young master from a scholarly family. He has such taste and refinement, even Gu Chi admires him for it.
Cheng Luo was uninterested in Ji Xiangru's questions. He found them boring, though he didn't know why the other person asked them or what purpose they served.
What he wanted to know was something else, such as, Gu Chi.
Cheng Luo asked, "Gu Chi, what have you been up to recently"
Ji Xiangru also felt that it was time to change the subject, so as not to be repeatedly questioned by Cheng Luo.
Ji Xiangru casually replied: "Oh, him He's riding high these days, with a beautiful woman in his arms. The old man has long forgotten about righteousness and become a model husband."
Cheng Luo slightly furrowed his brows, which only accentuated his melancholic air. He asked Ji Xiangru: "Has Gu Chi gotten married"
Ji Xiangru nodded and replied, "Yes, a flash marriage. My grandfather forced me into it."er had something to do with Cheng Ruo'er. But a lot of things happened afterward, so I didn't continue investigating. Now that Cheng Ruo'er has brought it up, I must get her to tell me exactly what ha...
