the knife of love

Chapter 28

Guan Lue directly asked the taxi to drive to Xinyue Bay.

Tang Jingcheng sat up straight from the seat, opened the car window again, and let the cold wind outside blow on his face, and he became more awake.

Because Xinyue Bay is in the suburbs, taxis have to drive for more than half an hour.

When the two arrived at the villa, they saw several security guards around the door, and the other one in casual clothes was the property manager who called Tang Jingcheng just now.

"Miss Tang, I'm really sorry that I called you here so late."

Tang Jingcheng blew the wind all the way. Although her mind became clearer, her brain hurt badly. She asked displeasedly, "What's the matter?"

"It's like this. Just now a few gardeners came to repair your flower garden. After digging the soil for a while, they left. It might be a bit noisy, so other owners called to complain."

Tang Jingcheng felt very novel after hearing this: "You are not mistaken, I didn't ask anyone to repair any flower garden for me at all!"

The property manager couldn't answer for a while, so he turned around and asked the security guard behind him: "What's going on? Did you ask clearly?"

"I made it clear. I just said that the owner of this household let me in, and said that the house is waiting for a wedding, so I urged us to come and catch up on work at night!"

Tang Jingcheng exhaled irritably.

"First of all, I am the owner of this house. I am sure that I did not call any gardening company to repair the flower garden; secondly, my house was decorated three months ago; finally, I am not in a hurry to get married!" She was displeased Emotions are written all over his face.

The property manager saw that she was plausible, and since she was the owner, he didn't dare to offend her too much.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Tang, maybe we didn't understand the situation clearly, or maybe the other party got the house number wrong. Don't worry, we will definitely investigate this matter!"

"Investigate clearly? You called me in the middle of the night, just throw me a sentence to investigate clearly? Since your property has a regulation that construction cannot be done at night, why did the security at the gate let them in? Our owner pays such a high property price a year Fei, is this how you protect the owner's safety?" Tang Jingcheng spoke sharply.

Guan Wei was almost overwhelmed, but he didn't expect that this woman's thinking was quite clear at the critical moment.

The property manager was really embarrassed by what she said, so he could only keep apologizing.

"I'm really sorry, because this villa area was just handed over a while ago, and many owners are renovating, and there are more people coming in and out every day, but we will definitely strengthen management in the future."

Tang Jingcheng didn't bother the business manager anymore.

Everyone thought it was just a misunderstanding, which gradually dissipated.

Tang Jingcheng was still wearing Guan Lue's coat, standing in the wind, his eyes and lips were red.

"Do you have time? Come with me in."

Xinyue Bay is a high-end community of single-family villas in the suburbs. Each villa has an independent wall and iron gate. The iron gate enters the flower garden and lawn.

At this time, the iron gate was slightly open, and nothing had been planted on the flowerbed in front of the building, but the soil had obviously just been turned over.

Guan slightly stepped on the soft and wet soil, and asked casually: "Since it has been decorated, why is the iron door not closed?"

"Maybe my dad forgot to turn it off."

"Your father?"

Tang Jingcheng smiled slightly: "Renovation of the villa a while ago, Qiu Qiguan and I were very busy preparing for the exhibition, so my dad has been helping me keep an eye on the progress of the renovation. He has the villa key in his hand."

Guan Lue didn't speak, but the light in his eyes gradually gathered together.

"Come on, come in with me!" Tang Jingcheng took out the key from his bag and opened the door.

Guan Yue didn't forget to look back before entering the door, his eyes fell on the two probes inside and outside the iron door, he couldn't help but twitched his mouth, and smiled faintly.

Tang Jingcheng fumbled to turn on the light, and the whole hall became bright.

Guan Lue glanced at it, and found that the interior of the villa was exquisite from the overall decoration to the furnishings. It was a wedding room for a couple of artists, and it was elegant and tasteful.

"A mansion!" He deliberately laughed, "No wonder that Yang Xi wants to fight for this house."

When Tang Jingcheng heard the name, his heart began to panic again, and thinking of what Qiu Yueyi said to her in the hospital tonight, he couldn't swallow his breath.

"I haven't returned to this house since his accident, and I probably won't move in in the future, but even so, I will definitely not give this house to Yang Xi."

Tang Jingcheng's tone was firm.

Guan Lue didn't reply. This was a personal grievance between the two women, and he wasn't interested.

"Since I'm here, for the first time, shouldn't you at least buy me a cup of tea?"

"..." Tang Jingcheng finally came to his senses, Chong Guan slightly smiled, "Sorry, there is no hot water here, but there is a newly bought coffee machine in the kitchen, do you want to try it?"

"Okay."

"Then sit in the living room for a while." Tang Jingcheng put down his bag and went to the kitchen.

Sitting on the sofa, Guan Lue looked away, calmly remembering the general structure of this villa in his heart, but soon he heard Tang Jingcheng shouting from the kitchen: "Could you come here, please?"

Guan Lue went over and saw Tang Jingcheng was leaning on the cooking table and facing the coffee machine.

"It's the first time I do it, and I'm not good at it." She raised her head and asked Guan Lue for help with a smile.

Guan slightly glanced at it, and only asked, "Where are the coffee capsules?"

"Coffee capsules? Is it this thing?" She took out a plate from the upper cabinet, which was filled with small round things.

Guan took a quick look, picked one of them, unpacked it, put it in the slot above the coffee machine, and pressed the start button...

"This is a capsule coffee machine. The operation is actually very simple, and only lazy people will use it."

Soon a cup of fragrant coffee will be ready.

Guan Lue handed the cup to Tang Jingcheng: "You try it first?"

She shook her head: "No, I rarely drink coffee."

"Then you still buy a machine for your home?"

Tang Jingcheng's eyes flashed suddenly: "Qiu Qiguan likes to drink this." After speaking, he walked out of the kitchen, as if he didn't want to stay any longer.

Guan Lue looked at the coffee in the cup, but he didn't take a sip in the end, and poured it all into the sink. When he came out, he saw Tang Jingcheng standing in front of the French window in the hall smoking a cigarette. He took a puff and exhaled smoke rings.

She stood behind the smoke and looked at Guan Lue: "Come here!" Seriously.

Guan Lue couldn't meet her eyes, and he began to be more and more afraid of seeing this woman compete.

"Come here." She called again.

Guan Lue could only get closer, standing one meter away from her, was enough to see her face clearly.

She experienced a lot of things during this day, the exhibition, being exposed by Yang Xi in public that Qiu Qiguan had a mistress and illegitimate child outside, and being forced and threatened by Qiu Yueyi, going to a nightclub to get drunk and indulge in lust. At this time, her face was only haggard and grief.

In the dead of night, she was only willing to look haggard to him alone.
