Chapter 180 Wielding Swords and Spears
His eyes were gleaming; it was impossible to tell what she was thinking.

The women sitting behind Song Jin'an, who were gossiping, saw Gu Xijue arrive and quickly pulled their companions away.

Gu Xijue took a sip of wine, coldly glanced at the group of women gossiping behind his back, and walked indifferently to Song Jin'an.

Thinking about Jiang Ciyu talking to her just now, her mood worsened for no reason. Her eyes turned slightly cold as she walked straight up to Song Jin'an.

From Song Jin'an's perspective, a pair of familiar leather shoes came into view as she lowered her eyes.

She looked up at the man in front of her, his eyes seeming to say, "How dare you come here?"
The couple seemed to have some unspeakable thoughts on their minds.

Gu Xijue asked calmly, "What did he say to you when he came over?"

Song Jin'an glanced at him, and for some reason, a strange anger spread through her chest.

—It's nothing, he just came over and said a few words.

But at that very moment, another man came between them.

Jiang Ciyu, as if by some cruel twist of fate, stood right in front of her, glanced at Song Jin'an and then at Gu Xijue, her eyes crinkling and a smile playing on her lips.

"Mr. Gu."

Gu Xijue's eyes were sharp and pointed as he looked at Jiang Ciyu. His gaze was deep, and his words were sharp and harsh.

"Young Master Jiang, you're so fond of married women? Why are you always by my wife's side? What are you trying to do?"

"If it's about poaching someone from another company, I can only say to Young Master Jiang that you can't knock down that person right now."

Who is he to dare to "wield swords and spears" in front of me?
Jiang Ciyu merely smiled slightly, glanced indifferently at Song Jin'an, and said with a slight parting of his lips, "President Gu, isn't it a bit late to pretend to be so deeply in love now?"

"It seems everyone knows that you're keeping a mistress on the side. I heard it's your daughter's tutor. You dare to keep her in the house right under your wife's nose. I'm afraid a divorce isn't far off."

These words pierced Song Jin'an's heart.

All eyes were on them, as if Su Ruoya's stage was about to become a battleground for these three.

It was truly terrifying. Everyone was thinking, "Is there some juicy gossip coming?"

I quite enjoy watching gossip; after all, it brings a lot of joy and is enough to conjure up a whole drama in my mind.

Song Jin'an's lips twitched slightly. She always felt that she would be harassed every time she went out. For a moment, she really felt tired.

"Young Master Jiang, what nonsense are you spouting?"

Gu Xijue found it all quite ridiculous, his eyes flashing with impatience.

"Whether I'm lying or not, you know in your heart."

Jiang Ciyu raised an eyebrow, and Song Jin'an looked at the two of them, feeling a slight headache coming on.

She felt really embarrassed, so she moved back a bit, telling anyone who wanted to make a scene to stay away from her.

But Gu Xijue grabbed his wrist: "You believe what he said?"

Gu Xijue's voice was somewhat impatient, and he looked at her with a deep gaze. If she said "yes," he would definitely lose his temper on the spot.

—Then give me a reason to believe you?
—Let me go first. Today is Miss Su's engagement party, and I don't think you want to ruin it.

Mentioning Su Ruoya again, Gu Xijue smiled, his eyes flickered, and the corners of his lips curled slightly: "You're jealous, aren't you?"

"This vinegar has been aged for many years, don't eat it."

Gu Xijue added this sentence at the end, which was quite rare for him.

Song Jin'an frowned, then began to gesture.

—Can we talk about this when we get home?
—Of course, it also concerns the matter of Yu Yousheng.

She never liked arguing at these kinds of banquets because it was embarrassing. Song Jin'an also always cherished her reputation, after all, she held the position of Gu Xijue's wife.

Every word and action is scrutinized and magnified by others.

Gu Xijue gave Jiang Ciyu a look, as if to say, "Who do you think you are?"

Jiang Ciyu smiled and looked at Song Jin'an: "You trust him so much, don't let your sincerity be misplaced..."

Just as Song Jin'an was about to leave, Gu Xijue suddenly grabbed her hand and said, "Stay with me, the banquet isn't over yet."

Song Jin'an frowned slightly, struggling to pull her hand back, but she couldn't break free.

He could only be pulled along: "We're going to dance in a bit, and I remember you can dance."

The implication was clear: he wanted Song Jin'an to dance with him.

Soon, the emcee took the microphone and said, "Next, please welcome the newlyweds to perform the opening dance!"

The lights immediately dimmed, and soon a beam of light shone on the center, where Su Ruoya was wearing a haute couture gown, as was her fiancé.

The two had already assumed their dance poses when the music started, and the ball began.

The two danced gracefully. Song Jin'an looked at Su Ruoya's face, which had a calm expression, but there was a sense of emptiness deep in her eyes.

Her fiancé's eyes held a hint of love, but more than that, they were filled with possessiveness. She also noticed that Su Ruoya's fiancé had been looking at Gu Xijue for a long time, and even tightened his grip on Su Ruoya's waist.

As the two were whispering, Su Ruoya turned around and looked at Gu Xijue.

There were some indescribable emotions in his eyes, but they quickly subsided and became as calm as still water.

This back and forth also caught the attention of her fiancé. Song Jin'an knew that Xiao Yi liked Su Ruoya, and after looking around, she did not see Xiao Yi.

Gu Xijue noticed her looking around and leaned close to her ear: "Who are you looking for?"

—Your friend.

"Xiao Yi?"

Song Jin'an nodded.

"He won't show up." Gu Xijue only said this, and before Song Jin'an could ask why, the opening dance was over.

Applause erupted, followed by music, and Song Jin'an was dragged into the torrent by Gu Xijue.

Song Jin'an isn't a very good dancer, but she's not bad enough to step on Gu Xijue's foot.

She pursed her lips, feeling somewhat embarrassed and angry but unable to vent her frustration, so she could only follow his movements and dance. However, he seemed to be deliberately trying to embarrass her, as he quickened his pace considerably.

Song Jin'an was in a bit of a panic, and in full view of everyone, she stepped on his foot several times.

"Your dancing skills haven't improved at all. Haven't you been practicing a lot lately?"

Song Jin'an did indeed practice secretly. The reason was simple: last time Gu Xijue took her to a party, there was a dance segment. She didn't know how to dance, so she didn't participate. However, she was maliciously injured by some wealthy ladies, so she decided to practice hard at home.

She was very satisfied with the result achieved in just one month.

Song Jin'an looked up at the man in front of her, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, and this time she deliberately stepped on him several times.

I felt much better after stepping on it; I did it on purpose.

Jiang Ciyu also randomly pulled a rich young lady to dance. In this kind of group dance, there is a part where you exchange dance partners. You just need to find the right time and throw your dance partner out.

Exchanging dance partners is a gentlemanly act.

Therefore, Jiang Ciyu and Gu Xijue exchanged dance partners.

"meet again."
