Chapter 1651: Chapter 1652: Overly Protective

“She knows that I went on a blind date with you and deliberately humiliated me, saying something like I’m just like my mom, which is why my mom gave birth to me. Would a normal person say such things to their aunt? Shouldn’t I be angry?”

Cui Jiangjing hadn’t turned around yet, or rather, his expression didn’t change at all. There wasn’t any emotion other than rejection and indifference towards her.

“I think you’d better go back and ask Mrs. Gu why Xixi would say that. She surely has her reasons; I believe she wouldn’t slander any innocent person.”

Which means… Ning Qing is not innocent at all.

Gu Xue’s expression went from aggrieved and ashamed to blue with fury. Her eyes were filled with disappointment and disbelief. In the end, she bit her lip and swallowed her pride, saying, “Since Doctor Cui wants to protect her, I have nothing more to say. But as her child, I can’t forgive her. Doctor Cui, you’re a nice person; I thought at least we could be friends… From now on let’s pretend we don’t know each other.”

Cui Jiangjing is the most prestigious among the men she could meet; she was really unwilling to let go of such an excellent guy. After all, with Gu Linxi’s poor status, there’s no way she could marry into the Cui Family. Madam Cui would always need someone to fill the position; maybe she could still bypass and succeed in reaching that position.

But today Gu Linxi joined forces with Cui Jiangjing to humiliate her mother. As her daughter, if she didn’t show some reaction, she’d really become a joke.

She hated Gu Linxi to death but couldn’t do anything about it. After saying these words, no matter how reluctant she was, she could only pick up her handbag and turn to leave.

Who would have thought, at this moment, Cui Jiangjing suddenly called her.

“Miss Gu.”

Gu Xue was utterly disappointed in him, and she realized she had no chance. Who would’ve guessed that just when she had given up hope, Cui Jiangjing seemed to stop her from leaving.

She couldn’t describe the complex feelings in her heart, forced herself not to turn her head, and stiffly said, “I’ve just made my point really clear and won’t change my mind.”

“I don’t mean that, Miss Gu. You misunderstood. I stopped you just to explain that initially, when my mom mentioned going on a blind date with you, I rejected it. Later, I heard you were related to my girlfriend. At that time, I hadn’t won her over yet and wanted to know more about her past, so knowing you two were sisters, I went. Later, I found that you knew less about her than I did, so I gave up the idea. You didn’t mention it, so I wasn’t aware she cared about this issue, hence why I wanted to explain.”

Gu Xue, “…”

She never knew being humiliated could reach such a level. Thinking about how, a moment ago, she was still making self-critical remarks made her face burn with shame. The feeling of being crushed in spirit was so embarrassing that she lost the dignified demeanor she had always been proud of as a high-class young lady. After he finished speaking, she couldn’t say a word, thankful she hadn’t turned around to embarrass herself further, and fled hurriedly.

Her steps were staggered, with high heels making her run faster than walking, disappearing in an instant, showing how much she didn’t want to stay.

“Phew.” Cui Jiangjing turned back only after she had left, grabbing the girl’s arm, his handsome brows unusually tense, “How did you run into her?”

“How should I know? Isn’t it the place you chose for dinner?”

“I…” Cui Jiangjing was rendered speechless, half of his frustration dissipated, and he said irritably, “You blame me for this too. How would I know who would show up before choosing the place?”
