Chapter 997
In the evening, on the third floor of the Hyatt Hotel, the scene of the Lu family's celebration banquet was filled with fragrant clothes and glasses, and it was very lively.

Gu Ningxi sat on the sofa in the corner for the guests to rest with the juice in hand, looking at King who was surrounded by people at this time.

Under the light, he always maintained a slight smile on his handsome face, and he looked gentle and elegant. Many wealthy ladies present cast admiring glances at him.

She sipped the juice, glanced at a few celebrities who were often on the news, and secretly wondered whether they were suitable for King.

Xu Shi noticed her gaze, and one of the ladies looked over.

The two looked at each other.

Gu Ningxi smiled awkwardly, then looked away.

Unexpectedly, the other party actually came over.

"You are Gu Ningxi?"

Gu Ningxi raised her head, only to see that the other party looked at herself with uncomfortable eyes.

"I am, are you?" She stood up.

"It's really you." The other party didn't hide the contempt in his eyes, "I have to say that she looks pretty, but her heart is really too bad."

Hearing this, Gu Ningxi frowned, "What do you mean? Also, do I know you?"

"Literally." She suddenly approached, "As for me, you don't deserve to know me."

Gu Ningxi raised her eyelids, her haughty look came into view, her red lips curled up, "In that case, please don't talk to me, lest you lose your identity."

As long as you are not stupid, you can hear the ridicule between the lines.

The other party understood, and his face became ugly, "It seems that Qingran is right, you are really sharp-tongued. Also, people of our background, of course, don't speak as badly as you."

The sense of superiority in her words made Gu Ningxi feel very uncomfortable, and immediately turned cold, "So you are Su Qingran's friend, so what should she do?"

The other party fell silent.

So, she "kindly" continued, "It's people of your background who actually want to strangle an elder who is lying on a hospital bed..."

Having said that, she sneered, "It's better for me to speak badly than for her to commit a crime."

The other party's face turned blue and white, as ugly as it could be.

"Sorry, my friend is looking for me." Gu Ningxi smiled at her and strode towards King.

When she approached, King asked with concern, "Who is she? Is she your friend?"

Gu Ningxi took a sip of the juice, shook her head, "I don't know."

"Then what did you talk to her about?"

"It's nothing, just a casual chat." She didn't want to say more, so she changed the subject directly, "Where's Lu Jingchi? Isn't he the protagonist of the night? Why haven't I seen anyone until now?"

King didn't ask further, "Something happened temporarily, and he arrived late."

Gu Ningxi frowned, and asked tentatively, "Are you guys hiding something from me?"

King was taken aback, "Why do you ask that?"

"Because my intuition told me that something was wrong." Gu Ningxi pursed her lips, and asked again: "How did you deal with the troublemaker last time?"

"Detained for [-] days and still hasn't come out."

Gu Ningxi frowned, "No, what I mean is, have the old residents been properly resettled? Have they all signed the demolition agreement?"

At this question, King fell silent.

I knew my intuition must be right.

It's been almost an hour since the banquet started, and Lu Jingchi hasn't shown up yet. This sudden incident is obviously not a trivial matter, and now Lu's focus is on projects in the DC area.

Therefore, Lu Jingchi should be dealing with this project right now.
