Chapter 234
Coming out of the study, Jun Jingting's face was still a little heavy.

Grandpa only gave half of the map, and the rest, if he guessed correctly, should be in the dealer's hands, most likely in the hands of Zhuang Han.

"what happened?"

Seeing that his expression was not right, Qiao Xi lowered her voice and said, "Did something happen?"

"No."

Jun Jingting pulled out a smile, "They are talking about old things."

Qiao Xi nodded with a half-understood understanding, and didn't ask any further questions, but looked at him uncomfortably, "Well, grandpa said it's not safe to drive too late, so someone cleaned up a room, you're here today have a rest."

"Okay."

Jun Jingting readily agreed, raised her eyebrows and glanced at Qiao Xi, "It's really hard for my fiancée to invite me like this."

Facing the mockery in the man's eyes, Qiao Xi couldn't help but glared at him, "Why don't you go back to live."

"That won't work."

Jun Jingting laughed lowly, reached out to hold Qiao Xi's hand, "Let's go, take me there."

"This is at home."

Qiao Xi broke away from Jun Jingting's hand, and warned him, "You can't touch here."

Jun Jingting chuckled, and followed her slowly to the guest room.

"You rest here."

Facing the man's smile, Qiao Xi couldn't help but blush a little. She stepped back and was about to go out, but before she could turn around, she was wrapped in the man's arms.

"What are you doing?"

Qiao Xi glared at him, but didn't dare to make too much noise, for fear of being discovered by grandpa and elder brother, so she could only wink at him.

"What are you hiding from?"

Jun Jingting looked at her flushed and shy face, the more she was like this, the more he wanted to play tricks on her.

"Let me tell you, Grandpa and the others are all here. If I let them see you like this, I can't guarantee that their impression of you will change."

The man was still about to say something, when there was a knock on the door, "Are you asleep? Brother asked me to bring you some fruit."

It was Lu Xizhou's voice.

Jun Jingting's face froze, so she had to let go of Qiao Xi, cleared her throat and said, "Second brother, come in."

As soon as Lu Xizhou opened the door, he saw Qiao Xi standing there, and he was surprised, "A Jin, why are you here?"

She also felt a little embarrassed to be stared at by the second brother, "I'll take him to the room."

Lu Xizhou nodded, and suddenly understood why the elder brother had to let him come over to deliver the fruit just now!

"Ajin, it's getting late, you should go to rest."

After reacting, Lu Xizhou looked at Qiao Xi with a serious face, as if he was protecting the calf.

Qiao Xi was crying and laughing, seeing Jun Jingting's devastated expression, her mood improved a lot, "Then I'll go back first."

Qiao Xi saw Lu Tingyun at the corner as soon as he left the house, "Brother, why are you here? You scared me."

Qiao Xi patted her chest, and couldn't help feeling a little funny, these two people were really guarding against Jun Jingting like thieves.

"Brother didn't do it on purpose."

Lu Tingyun's face was a little stiff, he turned his head and explained, "Grandpa asked you to go to the study too."

"Grandpa looking for me?"

Qiao Xi felt a little uneasy, wondering what would happen to her grandfather looking for her, maybe it was out of fear of the elders, whether it was the old man Qiao or Lu Zhenye who loved her very much, but Qiao Xi felt more for them in his heart. Respect.

"go quickly."

Lu Tingyun reached out and touched Qiao Xi's head, "Don't be nervous, Grandpa just hasn't seen you for a few days, so I want to talk to you."

Qiao Xi nodded, opened the door and entered the study.

"Grandpa, you are looking for me."

Standing in front of Lu Zhenye, Qiao Xi noticed that Lu Zhenye was writing calligraphy with a brush. The calligraphy was very strong. Qiao Xi felt a slight movement in her heart. She got up and walked to the desk, "I'll grind it for you."

"Okay."

Lu Zhenye immediately agreed, and talked to Qiao Xi while writing, "In the past, you were always restless and didn't like writing here, but now, you have grown up."

Said that Lu Zhenye still has some emotions.

Qiao Xi felt a little guilty. If she hadn't been reborn on Lu Ruojin's body, she might still have the temperament of that arrogant and domineering young lady.

"I came here for nothing else, just to talk to you. In a blink of an eye, all the big girls are going to be engaged."

Lu Zhenye looked up with a loving smile on his face, but Qiao Xi saw his gray hair and the wrinkles around his eyes, couldn't help his nose sore, and almost couldn't hold back his tears.

"That kid from the Jun family is good to you. Grandpa sees it. You can't be too willful in the future. Since you are going to be engaged, you are the one who will live."

Lu Zhenye said one sentence after another, Qiao Xi couldn't help but get red eyes.

Originally, she didn't feel much about the engagement, but hearing what grandpa said, it seemed like she was about to part.

"Why are you still crying?"

Lu Zhenye looked at the corners of her red eyes, and laughed, "We're all in the imperial capital anyway, so it's not easy to go home? If that kid dares to bully you, see if I won't teach him a lesson!"

Qiao Xi was amused by the old man's words, and his heavy heart was relieved a lot, "Grandpa, don't worry, I will definitely come back to see you often in the future."

Coming out of the study, Qiao Xi was still in a delicate mood, as if her rebirth was just yesterday, but she didn't expect that more than a year had passed in the blink of an eye.

Early the next morning, before Qiao Xi left the house, she heard the butler say that someone was coming to visit.

"It's from the Zhou family."

Qiao Xi's heart moved slightly. There was probably only one Zhou family that could be called by name, and that was the Zhou family that she just dismissed yesterday.

"What are they doing here?"

Lu Zhenye frowned slightly. If I remember correctly, the Lu family and the Zhou family shouldn't have much contact with each other, right?

"It should be looking for me."

Qiao Xi's face was a little mocking, but Zhou Minghai was so bold this time that he brought someone directly to her house.

The eyes of several people fell on Qiao Xi, Lu Zhenye just frowned, then nodded, "Let someone come in."

Zhou Minghai and Zhou Ran came in together, carrying a lot of things in their hands.

Qiao Xi just glanced at the two of them indifferently, and then slowly began to drink the porridge in the bowl, as if she didn't see it.

"It turns out that Mr. Lu was eating, and I interrupted him."

Zhou Minghai bowed his waist, and his tone was extremely respectful. They can only say that they are a little famous, but they are completely incomparable with a family like the Lu family that has occupied the capital for many years.

Qiao Xi didn't even look at the two of them, and ate the porridge alone.

"Boss Zhou is being polite. I don't know what's the matter with Boss Zhou coming over this early in the morning?"

Lu Zhenye was silent for a while before opening his mouth slowly, his tone could not detect any emotion.

"Didn't I bring my nephew here to apologize to Miss Lu?"

Zhou Minghai smiled contemptuously, looked at Lu Zhenye, and seemed to be talking to himself, "Mr. Lu doesn't know what happened yesterday, does he? But it's still a trivial matter."
