<h4>Chapter 1228: Chapter 1240</h4>


    Gongsun Lihan looked at Chu Ge with a face full of grievance, and said displeasedly, "Chu Ge, do you hate me that much?"


    Before Chu Ge could answer, Yuwen Kangli next to him spoke first, "Miss Lihan, why are you so oblivious? This isn’t about hating or not hating, it’s about whether you have any sense. We two men are here drinking tea, and you bring your sisters to cause a disturbance. What man would like that?"


    Gongsun Lihan looked even more aggrieved, puffing her small mouth, feeling very upset sitting there.


    She looked like Chu Ge had done something to her.


    Yuwen Kangli looked at Gongsun Lihan, and continued, "Moreover, Mr. Chu already has a girlfriend. As a girl, you should understand shame."


    Gongsun Lihan’s cheeks turned red with embarrassment. She red at Yuwen Kangli angrily, then looked at Chu Ge, asking, "Chu Ge, is what he said true?"


    Does Chu Ge really have a girlfriend? When did this happen? Howe she didn’t know?


    Did she miss something while she wasn’t at the Gambling Stone Fieldtely?


    While she was pondering doubtfully, she saw Chu Ge gently nod, "Yes, he’s right, so I’m very sorry, Miss Lihan. I can’t dance with you, otherwise my girlfriend might get jealous if she sees it."


    Gongsun Lihan pressed her lips tightly, tears spinning in her eyes.


    The other girls sitting nearby heard Chu Ge’s words and curiously asked, "Do you mean your girlfriend is also at the party? Who is she? Why isn’t she sitting with you?"


    "Yeah, are you lying just to shake off our Lihan?"


    "I think so. If you really have a girlfriend, why aren’t you with her, instead of drinking tea with another guy?"


    Chu Ge chuckled lightly and shook his head helplessly, "Who says I have to be with my girlfriend?"


    "Exactly, you people have such immature thoughts. We all have our own space; you can’t always be with your girlfriend."


    Yuwen Kangli snorted irritably; he waved at those people, "You better leave quickly, don’t interrupt our tea and chat. The strong perfume scent is suffocating me."


    Immediately, Yuwen Kangli’s words sessfully angered all the women, who red at him and said, "Yuwen Kangli! Don’t think we’re afraid of you just because you’re the Eldest Young Master of the Yuwen Family! Don’t be too arrogant with your words!"


    "Exactly! It’s really infuriating. Lihan, let’s go!"


    After dragging Lihan away, Chu Ge and the others finally returned to calm.


    Chu Ge looked up at Yuwen Kangli, a bit curious, "Yuwen Kangli, I didn’t see it; you actually treat girls like that."


    Yuwen Kangli coughed lightly and chuckled at Chu Ge, "These women, if you’re not tough on them, they won’t appreciate it."


    Chu Ge smiled, "Aren’t you afraid they’ll retaliate?"


    "Retaliate?" Yuwen Kangli waved his hand, smiling, "I’m not afraid. It’s just a woman. Even if they retaliate, how far can they go? Can they throw acid at me?"


    Yuwen Kangli smirked.


    Chu Ge chuckled lightly; he paused for a moment, "I thought, given your rtionship with Gongsun Linhua, you’d treat Gongsun Lihan well."


    Yuwen Kangli paused, then his face sank, "In that case, I especially won’t show Gongsun Lihan any favor. Those siblings from the Gongsun Family, huh, none of them are decent."


    Chu Ge looked at him puzzled, "Aren’t you and Gongsun Linhua good friends?"


    "Hm, good friends? Don’t insult the term good friends. When I had some trouble, Gongsun Linhua immediately distanced himself from me, afraid of getting implicated. I get it now. When you’re sessful, everyone’s in on it with you, ttering you. But when you’re down, things are quite different."


    When you’re down, they don’t want anything to do with you, wishing to keep their distance.


    Chu Ge knows that in their wealthy world, this reality is really sad; when you have money, everyone praises you, but when you’re in need, they pretend not to know you.


    Even the offspring of such big families like the Gongsun Family having this mindset is hard to understand.


    "It seems you and Gongsun Linhua are merely surface brothers."


    Chu Ge said softly.


    "Exactly."


    Just as Yuwen Kangli was speaking, he saw Gongsun Linhua walking toward them angrily from a distance. Yuwen Kangli paused, then sneered, "Mr. Chu, speak of the devil, herees the devil. Looks like someone wants to stand up for his sister."


    Chu Ge was taken aback. He looked confusingly at Yuwen Kangli.


    Yuwen Kangli pointed behind him, Chu Ge turned around, and saw Gongsun Linhua striding toward them.


    "Chu Ge! Oh, Chu Ge, my sister wanting to y with you is giving you face, but you dare make her cry. See if I don’t teach you a lesson today!"


    Gongsun Linhua suddenly lunged forward wanting to grab Chu Ge’s cor, but Chu Ge was vignt; he nimbly dodged.


    Gongsun Linhua grabbed air, and a lowugh sounded by his ears. He looked up at the source of theughter, meeting Yuwen Kangli’s teasing eyes, which angered him even more.


    "Yuwen Kangli! Are you just going to watch your friend’s sister be bullied?"


    Gongsun Linhua shouted angrily.


    Yuwen Kangli shrugged, "My friend’s sister? Who? I don’t seem to have friends."


    Gongsun Linhua’s face turned very unsightly; he knew what Yuwen Kangli was holding onto; when he had trouble, he wanted help, but was refused.


    "Yuwen Kangli! Don’t forget who helped you get to where you are today!"


    Knowing he couldn’t win over Yuwen Kangli emotionally, Gongsun Linhua decided to switch tactics.


    "The fact that you’ve be this way is all thanks to Chu Ge. Yet now you can still smile in front of your enemy and even drink tea together?"


    Yuwen Kangli looked at Gongsun Linhua nonchntly, "No matter what you say, I won’t interfere. Besides, this is my own business, nothing to do with you. You should worry about yourself."


    Seeing it’s futile to sway Yuwen Kangli, Gongsun Linhua became even angrier.


    He shot a re at Yuwen Kangli, then stared fiercely at Chu Ge, "Chu Ge, I demand you apologize to my sister immediately!"
