Gu Changge squeezed between the two of them.
He blocked Su Qingzhou with his not particularly broad back, and cut off Jiang Yuechu's murderous gaze.
"Oh, what a coincidence! Miss Ji—Miss Jiang, you're here too?"
As Jiang Yuechu looked at Gu Changge, who had suddenly darted out, the murderous glint in her eyes slowly faded.
"Inspector Gu."
She nodded slightly, her tone softening somewhat.
"You like joining the commotion too?"
Gu Changge gave a wry smile.
"How could I call it joining the commotion? I was... forced to come by the old man at home."
He gestured around them, his face full of helplessness.
"My sister isn't in the Capital, so naturally this thankless job of showing my face fell to me."
Hearing this, Jiang Yuechu could understand.
In a great family, there were always some social engagements one simply couldn't avoid.
"Since we've run into each other, let's sit together."
Jiang Yuechu pointed to the empty seat beside her.
In this hall full of false pleasantries, running into someone familiar was actually rather nice.
"Sure, sure, sure!"
As if granted a pardon, Gu Changge hurriedly plopped down, conveniently shoving Su Qingzhou to the side.
Su Qingzhou stumbled two steps from the shove, his face black as the bottom of a pot.
"Gu Changge! What do you mean by this?!"
He gritted his teeth and glared at Gu Changge.
The Gu Family was a prominent clan too, but Gu Changge was nothing more than a martial brute who knew only how to wield a blade. Usually, Su Qingzhou wouldn't even deign to look at him.
And now he dared to ruin his plans?
Gu Changge turned to look at Su Qingzhou's furious face, feeling utterly speechless.
Bro, I'm saving your life here!
Could you have even a little sense?
