Chapter 489 Hidden Purpose
At this moment, only Gu Tingyan noticed that Liang Jiahui's attitude was not quite right.
Although Tony Leung Ka-fai appeared to be chatting and laughing with everyone, a hint of shrewdness and calculation would occasionally flash in his eyes.
Gu Tingyan was secretly on guard, intending to handle this seemingly warm gathering carefully in case there were any ulterior motives.
Inside the elegant private room of "Tingfeng Pavilion," the atmosphere gradually became subtle and tense.
The food on the table smelled enticing, but no one seemed to have the heart to taste it.
Gu Tingyan sat there, feeling extremely uncomfortable. He was very resistant to Liang Jiaxin's deliberate attempts to get close to him.
The strong scent of perfume emanating from Liang Jiaxin kept wafting into his nose, causing him to frown slightly.
He tried his best to remain polite, but the aloofness in his eyes became increasingly obvious.
Every time Liang Jiaxin struck up a conversation with him, he would only give a brief and indifferent response, thinking about how to get out of this awkward situation.
Gu Suiwan, however, did not have as many concerns as Gu Tingyan.
She had always disliked Leung Ka-yan, and now she was even more ruthless.
She put down her cutlery, a hint of disdain in her eyes, and said directly, "Liang Jiaxin, don't waste your time."
"Tingyan has a fiancée, and Tingyu also has a fiancée, so don't meddle here."
Her clear and loud voice shattered the false harmony in the private room.
Gu Tingyu also took the opportunity to say sarcastically, "Yeah, Liang Jiaxin, you're older than both of us, how come you're still so immature?"
His lips curled slightly upward, a mocking smile playing on his lips, his eyes filled with amusement.
Liang Jiaxin heard their words but was not angry.
She gently tossed her hair, her seemingly sweet smile still on her face, but a barely perceptible hint of annoyance flashed in her eyes.
"Oh, I was just chatting with Brother Tingyan. We're all friends, why take it so seriously? Besides, age isn't a problem."
Her voice was delicate and affected, and her slang and flirtatious remarks only made people more disgusted.
Gu Suiwan snorted coldly, "Who said I'm your friend? I've hated you since I was a child. Stop pretending."
She crossed her arms over her chest, making no attempt to hide her dislike for Leung Ka-yan.
Just then, Li Yan and Duan Yujing happened to walk to the door of the private room, ready to go in and give everyone a surprise.
However, they overheard the conversation inside.
Liang Jiaxin's witty and sarcastic voice clearly reached their ears, and Li Yan's expression immediately turned somewhat unpleasant.
She stopped in her tracks, silently revealing a hint of surprise and dissatisfaction.
Tony Leung's words made them even angrier.
"Jiaxin was just joking, don't take it too seriously."
Tony Leung's voice carried an indifferent attitude, showing no regard for the feelings of the Gu siblings.
Duan Yujing's face also darkened. He gripped Li Yan's hand tightly, signaling her not to go in yet.
His suspicions about Tony Leung Ka-fai deepened.
"What on earth is Tony Leung Ka-fai up to? How could he treat our children like this?"
Duan Yujing lowered his voice, sounding somewhat angry and dissatisfied.
Li Yan nodded, "Yes, I thought he was genuinely good to us, but I didn't expect it to be like this. Let's see how things go first."
She stared intently at the door of the private room, as if trying to see what was really going on inside.
The atmosphere in the private room became increasingly awkward and tense.
Gu Tingyan, Gu Tingyu, and Gu Suiwan all looked at Liang Jiaxin, their eyes filled with vigilance and dissatisfaction.
Liang Jiaxin, however, continued to pretend that nothing was wrong and kept trying to strike up a conversation with Gu Tingyan.
