054: Gu Jun's confession, the Shen family's grudge

Gu Jun felt that there was no need to let Jiang Zhiyan know that Xu Yao was Chen Yan's ex-fiancée.

But now the situation has changed. Gu Jun is afraid that Jiang Zhiyan will fall into Shen Zhongjun's trap, so he can only confess the complicated relationship between Xu Yao and the Shen family.

Jiang Zhiyan was speechless for a long time after listening to this.

Just when Gu Jun suspected that this guy had hung up the phone, Jiang Zhiyan let out a strange cry: "So, three years ago, you defeated those people from the Shen family, and three years later, you stole the fiancée of Shen Zhongjun's nephew? I even suspect that the Shen family has a grudge against you for killing your father... Wait, you have offended the Shen family so badly, how can I dare to go to the engagement party today? I'm worried that the Shen family will find someone to assassinate me!"

"You're thinking too much. If they want to kill someone, they'll kill me. What's the point of killing you?"

Some situations can be told to Jiang Zhiyan, while some situations are absolutely impossible to tell. Gu Jun would rather let Jiang Zhiyan misunderstand that he has poached Chen Yan's girlfriend than let Jiang Zhiyan know the inside story of his flash marriage with Xu Yao!

Jiang Zhiyan's train of thought is unusual. Xu Yao married Gu Jun right after she broke off her engagement with Shen Yan, and Jiang Zhiyan didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Gu Jun should have been so awesome!

As long as Gu Jun puts away his petty temper, behaves well and has a lot of money, he can chase any kind of woman!

No, no, Jiang Zhiyan felt that he had missed the point. "Xu Yao didn't even know that you were the boss of Huahu, and you just made up an identity as a Huahu engineer to pry Xu Yao away from Shen Zhongjun's nephew? After all, she is a genuine second-generation rich kid. Brother, you are really awesome!"

"That's not the point—"

Gu Jun also wanted to talk about his mother-in-law Lin Meixian's remarriage and Lin Meixian's current husband Wen Zhicheng's plan to cooperate with the Shen family.

Jiang Zhiyan interrupted him, "That's the point! I used to be so proud of my ability to pick up girls, but now I realize that you have a lot to learn from me in this area."

Gu Jun couldn't stand it any longer. "Xu Yao went to the restaurant. Come here and I'll talk to you face to face!"

"Oh, I'll come over then."

The first thing Jiang Zhiyan did when he came over was to look at the bed. Seeing that the quilt and pillow were flat, Jiang Zhiyan was very disappointed.

"Your wife is so virtuous! Does she have to make the bed herself in the hotel?"

Jiang Zhiyan originally wanted to tease Gu Jun, but he didn't find the opportunity.

Before Jiang Zhiyan arrived, Gu Jun had indeed made the bed again, but it was to cover up the fact that he and Xu Yao had slept in separate beds last night. Resisting the urge to kick Jiang Zhiyan out of the hot spring, Gu Jun briefly explained Xu Yao's family changes, Lin Meixian's remarriage, Wen Yiyi's long-standing entanglement with Xu Yao, and the Wen family's cooperation with the Shen family, with Wen Yiyi becoming Shen Yan's new fiancée.

The key point is that after Xu Yao's family went bankrupt, it was the Shen family who looked down on Xu Yao first, not because Xu Yao cheated that they broke off the engagement with Shen Yan.

Gu Jun's explanation was clear and to the point. He did not mention his initial suspicion of Xu Yao at all, and he defended Xu Yao's personal reputation in front of Jiang Zhiyan.

Jiang Zhiyan's head felt swollen.

"Your messed-up relationship is on par with some TVB melodrama about wealthy families! Let me summarize: only a small group of people, like Shen Zhongjun, know who you are, but they don't know you're married to Xu Yao. And the rest of the people who know you and Xu Yao are a couple all think Xu Yao married an ordinary programmer?!"

I have to say that Jiang Zhiyan has made some progress in recent years. When Gu Jun first met Jiang Zhiyan, he didn't have such ability to summarize and generalize.

"Yes, that's how you summarized it."

Gu Jun acknowledged Jiang Zhiyan, but Jiang Zhiyan didn't feel proud. His brows were knotted in a knot. "So, you're hiding your identity now not just to have some pure love affair with your wife, but also to get to know the Shen family's movements through Xu Yao's ex, oh, that guy named Shen Yan? Shen Yan doesn't know who you are, so he won't be wary of you."

“…About the same.”

Gu Jun was too lazy to attack Jiang Zhiyan. He wanted to know what was going on in the Shen family, so why would he expect Shen Yan to be the breakthrough point? Shen Yan was not a particularly important figure in the Shen family, so Shen Zhongjun would not tell Shen Yan what his plans were.

Gu Jun is hiding his identity not to guard against Xu Yao, on the contrary, it is because he wants to be a real couple with Xu Yao that he cannot break the current balance.

Jiang Zhiyan stroked his chin thoughtfully. "Even though you stole Chen Yan's girlfriend, and Chen Yan found Xu Yao's mother's daughter from her second marriage as his fiancée, after all the twists and turns, you're still in the same big family. So Chen Yan changed his fiancée but not his mother-in-law. Wait, with a relationship like yours, you have plenty of opportunities to see each other, right? The Shen family already looked down on Xu Yao. After she broke off her engagement with Shen Yan, she found a 'programmer' like you. Isn't that embarrassing?!"

Gu Jun glared at Jiang Zhiyan fiercely, "How did I embarrass Xu Yao?"

——Of course it’s because the fake character is too poor!

——Programmers are considered high-paying jobs in the eyes of ordinary people, but in the eyes of rich people, programmers are still just wage earners!

Jiang Zhiyan soothed Gu Jun's fragile heart, "Oh, I said the wrong thing. When you finish your hibernation of enduring humiliation, you will definitely earn Xu Yao a lot of face. Just bear with it for now."

Although he said this, Jiang Zhiyan felt that Gu Jun and Xu Yao were too pitiful.

No wonder Gu Jun wanted to bring Xu Yao to the hot spring hotel for vacation this weekend. It turned out that he didn’t want to attend Chen Yan’s engagement party!

Jiang Zhiyan's eyes rolled, "Do you mind if I use Chen Yan's engagement party to gain some traffic?"

Gu Jun's mind raced. "You want Tangtang to live stream the engagement party? The Shen family won't agree."

Jiang Zhiyan was very single: "Anyway, Shen Zhongjun wanted me to attend the engagement party. I was willing to go there to give him face, so he should also give me some face in return, right? If he doesn't agree, I will say I have something to do."

Jiang Zhiyan did what he said and called Shen Zhongjun in front of Gu Jun, saying that his girlfriend was very interested in the engagement banquet of a wealthy family in South City and might take some videos at the banquet. He wondered if the Shen family minded?

Gu Jun thought Shen Zhongjun would not agree, but unexpectedly Shen Zhongjun agreed.

"Everyone who comes is a guest, and we respect their ideas."

Shen Zhongjun was very straightforward. Jiang Zhiyan hung up the phone and asked Gu Jun what he thought. Gu Jun felt that Shen Zhongjun was going to set a big trap for Hua Hu.

"He doesn't care whether the Chen Yan family and other guests are happy or not. He must let you pass. You must be careful."

"I know."

Jiang Zhiyan sneered: "That old fox Shen Zhongjun has bad intentions. There must be something wrong with that piece of land!"

…

Xu Yao waited in the restaurant for a long time but Gu Jun didn't show up.

After breakfast, she started taking selfies all over the hotel.

Xu Yao doesn't care what other guests think of her. The materials she shoots now will definitely be used. Tangtang is Xu Yao's role model.

Xu Yao's phone vibrated, Tangtang sent her a new message.

"Boss Jiang and I have to leave first. I have to accompany him to an engagement party for a wealthy family in South City. Wait for my account to be updated!"

An engagement party for a wealthy family in South City?

Xu Yao had a vague premonition in her heart. Just as she finished replying to Tangtang's message, Gu Jun had already found her.

“The Shen family invited President Jiang to attend Shen Yan’s engagement party.”

Gu Jun got straight to the point.

Xu Yao was surprised, "Boss Jiang and the Shen family have such a good relationship?"

Gu Jun shook his head. "The relationship is just average. Mr. Jiang sometimes has no choice. After all, it was Mr. Shen Zhongjun who invited him personally."

Xu Yao felt even more puzzled.

Gu Jun looked at her expression and asked her what she was thinking. Xu Yao hesitated and said, "I just feel a little strange. In fact, the relationship between Shen Yan's family and the Shen family mansion is not good. I heard from my mother that Shen Yan's engagement was so grand, and the Shen family mansion was not very happy. I thought Uncle Shen would not attend Shen Yan's engagement party, but I didn't expect that Uncle Shen would not only attend it himself, but also personally invite Mr. Jiang to come."

On the one hand, there was dissatisfaction with Shen Yan's high-profile engagement, and on the other hand, Jiang Zhiyan, the now popular boss of Huahu, was invited to attend the engagement party. Xu Yao felt that the attitude of the Shen family mansion was very contradictory.

Gu Jun remembered that he had gone to the Shen family mansion with Jiang Zhiyan last time and indeed had not seen Chen Yan there. He casually asked Xu Yao, "Are they on bad terms? I thought you couldn't write two characters for the word 'Chen' with one stroke. They are a family that is united and supports each other."

Xu Yao whispered, "I've heard a rumor, but I'm not sure if it's true... Uncle Shen and Uncle Shen's second uncle are actually half-siblings of Shen Yan's father. Uncle Shen and Uncle Shen's second uncle are siblings, but Shen Yan's father was born to a woman outside. As soon as Shen Yan's grandfather died, Uncle Shen and Uncle Shen's second uncle separated their half-brother."
