Chapter 857: Chapter 857: Gu Family’s Hierarchical Status (1)
Lu Kexin looked up at her, frowning slightly.
Her hand rested on her belly, fingers tightening slightly.
"How are you doing?" Gu Anjin asked with concern, "You should be alright, right?"
Just now, she had only caught a glimpse of someone in the corner of her eye, but it was a little too late by the time she stopped walking.
She thought the other party would stop, but who knew they would continue walking in without any intention of stopping.
Luckily, she didn’t fall down, or else she would have really felt guilty.
Lu Kexin glanced at her, not responding immediately, just slightly tilting her head with a voice carrying some restrained grievance, "Mingze..."
Gu Mingze, who was behind her, just chuckled dryly and said to Gu Anjin, "Jinjin, you’re back?"
"Is she your wife?" Gu Anjin asked with some curiosity.
"My fiancée." Gu Mingze looked at Lu Kexin, seeing that slight grievance on her face and the way she held her belly, "Are you okay?"
Lu Kexin bit her lip and then nodded, "It’s just that I was startled just now. My heart is still pounding... Sorry, Mingze, I was too nervous, always afraid something would happen to the baby. You can’t blame this lady, she didn’t do it on purpose either."
Gu Anjin was taken aback by her words, feeling something was a bit off.
Although she did accidentally, it didn’t seem like she had done anything too excessive.
Why did she seem unsatisfied with the apology just now?
Gu Mingze is the grandson of the Fifth Grandfather; she remembered he was a mild-tempered, uncompetitive person, not like some who always scheme to enter the upper echelons of the Gu Family for a share of benefits.
This fiancée...
However, considering she’s a pregnant woman, judging by her belly, she seems to be four or five months along, probably making her more emotionally sensitive.
"I’m really sorry, I’ll be more careful next time." Gu Anjin sincerely apologized once again.
Gu Mingze felt very apologetic, knowing that Gu Anjin was making concessions.
In the Gu Family’s hierarchy, Gu Anjin was absolutely like a Princess, merely annoyed by people’s fawning, to the point where Grandfather would publicly rebuke others.
But Kexin is always worried about various things, so he couldn’t say much.
He cast a grateful look at Gu Anjin.
Lu Kexin smiled slightly, speaking softly, "It’s alright. But... let’s not have a next time, okay?"
"Kexin, let it go." Gu Mingze advised.
In fact, Gu Anjin has a good temper and is very reasonable; it’s fortunate to meet her. If the Grand Lady knew about this, she wouldn’t tolerate seeing Gu Anjin being wronged.
The Gu Family truly has such strict status levels.
"What’s going on? Jinjin, who is this person?" came a voice from behind, enjoying the spectacle, "Mingze, is she your woman? Make it clear, what do you mean Jinjin didn’t do it on purpose? Jinjin didn’t do it on purpose, she walked right into it herself."
"Sister Xue." Gu Mingze was a bit helpless.
This was exactly what he feared, that even if Gu Anjin didn’t stand up for herself, there would be others who would.
Gu Xue, tall and always meddlesome, enjoyed stirring the pot.
She was just about to have a chat with Jinjin when she saw her being pestered endlessly by a pregnant woman.
Lu Kexin glanced at this Sister Xue, who appeared overbearing, completely disregarding her.
She immediately wilted, "I’m sorry, it’s my fault."
"Jinjin truly has a good temper, already apologized to you, yet you’re still not letting it go." Gu Xue’s lips curled slightly, speaking to Gu Mingze, "It’s not that I intentionally want to trouble a pregnant woman, you’d better explain it to her clearly, if the Grand Lady sees this, hehe, let’s see who won’t be able to handle the consequences."
