Chapter 413 Acting as a Former Lover?
As he said that, Chu Xiao turned his eyes to the visitor with indifference.
The girl, named Luo Yu, is the youngest daughter of the Luo family. Because the head of the Luo family and the old head of the Ling family, that is, the grandfather of "Ling You", are brothers who worship...so, a long time ago, they made a point. belly for marriage.
In recent years, the young master of the Ling family and Luo Yu have met several times, and they are not in harmony as in some novels, but they appreciate each other quite a lot.
At that time, Ling You was an inexhaustible genius of the Ling family, with lofty ambitions, good character, and a limitless future...
However, after he was forced by the three families and had to go to the dangerous Tianqi Mountains, everything changed.
At that time, the first thing Ling You did was to take the initiative to break off the engagement with Luo Yu, and completely disregarded the woman's objection, almost completing the breakup with extreme paranoia!
Afterwards, the two separated and agreed not to communicate with each other until death.
It can be said that this is the last person Chu Xiao wants to see after he impersonates "Ling You"!
Because, in order to deal with such a person, he needs to display his strong acting skills. Even if there is a slight mistake, he will be seen through and ruin the plan!
only……
Even if I don't want to, I've bumped into them now! Therefore, Chu Xiao had no choice but to bite the bullet and develop his acting skills!
So far, it looks pretty good!
Seeing Luo Yu, she didn't blame Chu Xiao for the intentional "disrespect" at all, but secretly said in her heart: You are still the same as before, it's great...
Thinking about it, she asked with a trace of concern in her words: "Long time no see... Are you okay?"
Hearing this, Chu Xiao showed a "complicated" expression, nodded, and said, "I'm fine..."
Luo Yu nodded slightly, but didn't speak any more, just looked at Chu Xiao quietly. There was a complex emotion in her eyes, and her lower lip was also tightly pursed, as if she was thinking about whether to say it or not...
Finally, she sighed, and said softly, "I... am engaged to someone..."
As she said that, her gaze became soft, mixed with a strange shame, she avoided the other party's gaze intentionally or unintentionally.
Chu Xiao pretended to twitch the corners of his mouth, and then said flatly, "Then congratulations."
As soon as these words came out, Luo Yu suddenly clenched his right hand into a small fist shape, and he was amazed: he actually reacted like this, could it be... he, he finally let go?
After thinking about it again, Luo Yu felt that this was human nature.
After all, they are all separated.
If Chu Xiao yelled at her, it would make her feel strange...
"Congratulations to you too."
With this in mind, Luo Yu raised her head and looked at Chu Xiao, but when she saw that the other person's eyes were as calm as water, she couldn't help feeling an indescribable feeling in her heart...
It seems to be happy and relieved that the other party has figured out and relieved, and it also seems...a kind of complicated sorrow...
"Um."
Chu Xiao nodded, thinking that of course I am as plain as water, and I am not really the young master of the Ling family. I have nothing to do with you, and I don’t even know you at all. I just saw the portrait on purpose!
With you like this, who you are engaged to is none of my business...
Of course, these inner thoughts cannot be said directly.
Chu Xiao considered his words and said, "Let's get down to business...what are you here for?"
"No reason, just to see you..."
Luo Yu looked at the other party and spoke with complicated emotions.
"I knew you would say that! It's time to escape!"
Chu Xiao was secretly happy. He had seen all kinds of conversations between infatuated men and women in his previous life, so he easily led the topic to the current one. Talk more and give away!
"In that case, we've met now. I'm fine, don't worry about it."
Chu Xiao said, turned around, and said, "Third Uncle, I'll go back to my room to refresh myself, after all there will be an auction later... I'm leaving."
"Wait a moment!"
Just when Chu Xiao turned to leave, Luo Yu suddenly stood up and said loudly, "Wait, wait a minute!"
Chu Xiao was startled in his heart: Damn, he couldn't be seen through, right?
but……
Luo Yu just pursed her lower lip, paused, and said with complicated eyes: "You...you don't have anything, do you want to tell me again?"
"Oh my god! It's troublesome to play the former lover of the infatuated daughter's family..."
Chu Xiao's scalp felt numb secretly. After thinking about it, he turned his head and said, "Miss Luo, please take care from now on."
"I... I see."
Luo Yu's expression was complicated, and it seemed to contain resentment.
"That's how it is. Our Ling family will treat you well. I'm tired, so I'll take my leave first."
After saying that, Chu Xiao gave Luo Yu a very polite salute, then quickly ran back to the room, leaving only Luo Yu with a lonely face...
"Ah, niece Xian, don't take offense..."
Ling Duan was about to be polite, but Luo Yu had already interrupted: "Ling You... he did nothing wrong. Today is my niece taking the liberty, and I will visit Uncle Shi some other day..."
Ling Duan was about to smile and persuade Luo Yu to stay, but seeing Luo Yu's resolute face, he had no choice but to say a few polite words and let Luo Yu go.
"Ling You, do you really want to be so unfeeling to me..."
Luo Yu stepped into the carriage, but she was still thinking about it all the way...
She couldn't tell herself, what kind of feeling it was...
Two hours later.
The auction held by Zhoufu was held right here. The three local families and the former giant family, the Ling family, all quickly entered the venue, followed by some small and medium-sized families in the wine city...
It can be said that all the respectable figures in the city gathered here tonight. Even small and medium-sized families were arranged in a nice private room—this move immediately won a burst of applause: It really deserves to be a state mansion, and the move is generous!
Seeing that all the private rooms in the auction are full of gorgeousness, some small and medium families even began to feel ashamed...
Compared with others, the auctions in this city in the past few years are really nothing!
Soon, the Zhoufu Auction will officially begin.
Chu Xiao lay lazily in his private room, ignoring the vulgar opening remarks, waiting for the first auction item to appear...
For this auction, he is very ambitious. Of course, this ambition is not for those medicines that can improve strength - after all, relying on medicines to directly improve is not the right way, and Chu Xiao has such a clever cultivation method, why do you need this?
His ambition mainly lies in some natural and earthly treasures, as well as the things that must be acquired...
Among them, it includes the antidote for Wumengmian—although there is no cure for Wumengmian in the wine city, but the world is so big, and in the vast knowledge that Chu Xiao once learned, there is a record of a kind of restraint against Wumengmian. sleeping flowers.
This flower, called Tianxin Begonia, is usually used as a medicine to soothe the mind, but Chu Xiao knows it has another use.
As long as the real essence is injected into the pool water first, and then the Tianxin Begonia is soaked in it for an hour, its hidden effect can be induced! And the hidden effect is to restrain the 'dreamless sleep'!
