Night Fire Lingering

Chapter 350 How did Miss Jiang evaluate my girlfriend?

Jiang Xing froze.

Before she could turn around to look back, everyone in the private room had already stopped smiling and stood up properly.

"President Gu, President Lou."

Gu Yanci waved his hand and said, "We were eating over there when we heard you were here, so we came to check it out."

Several high-ranking officials exchanged glances: "We heard we're here? Listen to what you're saying! We're dining here and we've already reported it to you; we'll use the company account!"

For a moment, everyone looked at each other in an awkward atmosphere, and finally, they all looked at Jiang Xing in unison.

Because the person who just said 'Is that so?' is Lou Qi.

Previously, some people had privately suspected that Jiang Xing and Lou Qi had something going on, but Jiang Xing had clarified this in his office. In addition, the difference in their family backgrounds was too great, so no one thought about it anymore.

Surprisingly, today Boss Lou actually took the initiative to talk to Jiang Xing, and he was even staring at her!

"Is this how Miss Jiang describes my girlfriend?" Lou Qi continued to ask.

Jiang Xing closed his eyes.

If she had known she would run into Lou Qi here, she wouldn't have even wanted to attend this celebration banquet.

She lowered her eyes, looking as if afraid of offending someone: "I was just talking nonsense, I'm sorry, Mr. Lou. I don't know your ex-girlfriend very well, so I shouldn't have commented on her."

Lou Qi asked, "How did you know it was your ex-girlfriend?"

"..." Jiang Xing felt a dryness in her throat.

She never imagined that she would meet Lou Qi again in such an unexpected way after their breakup. They were from completely different circles, so why were they meeting again so soon...?

“I heard—” Jiang Xing took a breath without making a sound, raised his eyes, and calmly looked back at Lou Qi, “Young Master Lou has recently changed two girlfriends. The previous ones are naturally his ex-girlfriends.”

Are you bothered by this?

"..."

Wow!

The people around them looked at each other: What's going on? Why is this conversation so ambiguous?

Do you mind? Do you mind changing girlfriends?

Jiang Xing felt something was amiss, even though she had tried her best to act nonchalant. What exactly did Lou Qi mean?

"Mr. Lou, you're joking. I have no right to mind." Jiang Xing smiled. "--I don't mind either."

Hearing the first half of the sentence was fine, but when the second half came out, Lou Qi's face instantly became even more unpleasant.

Just as Jiang Xing thought Lou Qi wouldn't say anything more and was preparing to find an excuse to leave, Lou Qi spoke again: "I was sick a while ago, and my girlfriend specifically asked my assistant to take care of me. What does Miss Jiang think this means?"

"Mr. Lou, I think your ex-girlfriend meant well by caring about others, but didn't want to overstep her bounds, so she reminded your assistant to take care of you."

"So, casually commenting that she's not as pretty as a celebrity or as well-off as a socialite isn't considered overstepping boundaries? In your assumption, I'm a superficial person who only cares about a woman's family background and appearance, and that's not considered overstepping boundaries?"

With each word Lou Qi spoke, he took a step forward, getting closer and closer to Jiang Xing. "When I was still calling her 'girlfriend,' you kept calling her 'ex-girlfriend.' Wasn't that overstepping your bounds?"

The surroundings were so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Someone accidentally bumped a wine glass, making a sharp, jarring sound that sent chills down my spine.

Jiang Xing could feel everyone's eyes on her. She had difficulty breathing, like a duck being forced onto a shelf, with no one able to take another step back.
