Chapter 130 She is the “accomplice”
Jiang Yunyao picked up the red wine on the coffee table and poured her another glass.
Shen Zhao came over and asked, "Why are you so late? You can't be studying all the time, right?"
Ji Shuyao was in a bad mood and spoke in a somewhat aggressive tone, but not to them, "The Ji family wants to form an alliance with ours!"
"Damn it!" Shen Zhao couldn't help but curse, then realized, "That's not right, doesn't Uncle Ji only have a daughter? She's about the same age as us!"
Ji Shuyao's elegant upbringing made her suppress her urge to curse. She gritted her teeth and pronounced the man's name, "Ji Zeheng!"
Shen Zhao couldn't sit still this time. "Damn it!! That Ji guy has spread all over the city with his romantic scandal, and they still have the nerve to ask your family for a marriage proposal?! Are they trying to wipe out your entire family?"
As everyone knows, Ji's father has only one daughter, Ji Shuyao, so the Ji family's company must be left to Ji Shuyao.
Ji Shuyao's face looked grim, but she was still very confident about the outcome of this matter.
"My dad wouldn't agree! He'd rather I find an obedient son-in-law. Someone like Ji Zeheng, who has ulterior motives, is simply not acceptable to him!"
Jiang Yunyao was puzzled. "Isn't the Ji family planning to form an alliance with the Fang family? Why are they looking for you again?"
She also saw the news yesterday, saying that Ji Zeheng stood outside Fang's house for three hours holding flowers in order to pursue Fang Anyue again!
At the time, she was still complaining in her heart: "It's only three hours. The law stipulates that the working hours are eight hours! Not even half of the time, how insincere!"
Shen Zhao was relieved when he was sure that Ji Shuyao would not marry Ji Zeheng.
He said casually, "They see that the Fang family's attitude is unclear, so they want to find other people! To put it bluntly, they want to cast a wide net!"
Ji Shuyao, whose net was cast widely, looked more and more ugly.
Jiang Yunyao handed her a small fruit cake with less cream and comforted her, "Since you rejected them, they probably won't have any ideas about you again!"
Ji Shuyao thought it made sense, and her anger immediately subsided. She took the small cake and sat down next to Jiang Yunyao.
Shen Zhao was very enthusiastic and obviously hadn't said enough about this matter. "Didn't Uncle Ji announce that they wanted to split the family? Without the support of the Ji family, why would they still want to seek marriage with your family?"
The Ji family and the Ji family have similar power, but the Ji family is an old and wealthy family that has been among the top ranks more than 40 years ago, while the Ji family was originally second or third rate and has achieved its current status thanks to Ji Chen.
If the eldest wife of the Ji family was not a family member of Ji Chen, she would never have seen the Ji family!
Ji Shuyao was almost arranged to marry, so she knew more about the inside story than others.
She swallowed the cake in her mouth, wiped her mouth with a tissue, and then said, "They said that Uncle Ji would give Ji Clan to Ji Zeheng. I don't know where they got such confidence from!"
Her father was the same. He insisted on listening to those people's reasons for marriage arrangement, but in the end, he just listened to a lot of nonsense!
Jiang Yunyao refreshed her perception of the Ji family's eldest wife's shamelessness.
Although she didn't like Ji Mengxi very much, she was Ji Chen's daughter. Ji Chen's head wasn't kicked by a donkey, so why would he choose his nephew instead of his daughter as the heir?
Just because Ji Zeheng is a boy? So he must be the heir? Don't be too ridiculous!
Shen Zhao was shocked. "What a huge ambition! Uncle Ji is about to split up with them, yet he still covets the Ji family!"
Ji Shuyao felt annoyed when she thought of their expressions, and she shoveled the cake even harder.
Seeing that her mood was about to deteriorate again, Shen Zhao quickly stopped her and said, "Let's not talk about them. I asked you to come and play today, so you should have fun! If you are not happy, you are not giving me face!"
Ji Shuyao's attention was diverted. "What are you playing?"
Shen Zhao introduced them to her with great enthusiasm, "Truth or Dare, poker, mahjong, werewolf, script killing...any game you can think of, we can play it!"
Ji Shuyao chose poker and turned to ask Jiang Yunyao, "Do you want to play?"
Seeing that Xie Yixing had almost rested, Jiang Yunyao nodded and joined the group of people playing poker.
Seeing this, Xie Yixing quickly said, "I'll play too!"
Shen Zhao brought out a few decks of cards and called over a few people who wanted to play poker, asking them to form a group and play.
Halfway through the party, Jiang Yunyao felt a little stuffy in the box. After finishing a game, she found someone to take her place and got up to go outside to get some fresh air.
Xie Yixing was worried about her at first, but when he heard her say that she was in the corridor, he thought that this was their territory, so he let her go out alone.
There is a fence on the west side of the second floor of the bar, and there is no wall blocking the view. From the second floor, you can directly see the stage on the first floor, and even most of the first floor.
Jiang Yunyao turned to look at the end of the corridor. There were still two bodyguards standing at the stairs leading to the third floor, just like six years ago.
Six years ago, she also came out to get some fresh air and stood in a similar position to here.
The difference was that a woman rushed down from upstairs. She was wearing a mask, her long straight black hair was messy, and her body wrapped in a black leather jacket was trembling slightly. It was unknown what she had experienced.
Jiang Yunyao's gaze fell on a place one meter away where the woman stumbled. She wanted to reach out to help her up, but the woman supported herself with one hand and quickly stood up.
The elegant fragrance of roses emanated from the woman, mixed with a hint of cologne, which was very unique.
"What are you doing here alone?"
Ji Shuyao's voice suddenly sounded, interrupting her thoughts.
Jiang Yunyao saw Ji Shuyao coming out of the bathroom and walking towards them. She said, "Come out for some fresh air and enjoy the new pole dancing on the first floor!"
At this moment, on the stage on the first floor, a man and a woman wearing black tights, holding steel pipes, cooperated with each other and performed one difficult move after another.
Ji Shuyao stood beside her, glanced downstairs, and casually commented, "The makeup looks good, but it smudges easily, and it's not as mysterious as when she danced with the mask on!"
When Jiang Yunyao heard the words "wear a mask," she became interested. "Did you dance with a mask before? Why aren't you allowed to wear a mask anymore?"
Ji Shuyao knew that she seldom came to this place, so she told her the rumors she had heard.
"It's said that a thief wearing a mask, disguised as a staff member, sneaked in and stole a VIP's watch. Since then, masks are no longer allowed in bars!"
Jiang Yunyao was sure she was sober now and had heard correctly, "You went through so much trouble to get in here just to steal a watch?!"
If this is true, the world is going crazy!
Ji Shuyao was used to hearing outrageous rumors in the upper class, so her reaction to this matter was very calm.
"Who knows? It's probably just a random excuse. After all, they're making such a big fuss about searching people in a bar, there has to be a reason!"
Jiang Yunyao thought it was right.
Ji Shuyao told Jiang Yunyao the gossip she had heard from other places.
"That woman seems to have an accomplice. They made a handover on the second floor, and the manager who brought people over arrested her accomplice, so we missed the best opportunity to catch the woman!"
"Later, the bar denied the rumor, saying the woman had no accomplices and that they had misunderstood the customer. Anyway, only the person herself knows the truth, so we just listened for fun!"
Jiang Yunyao didn't think much about it at first, until she heard the last two sentences, she fell into a strange silence.
The so-called "accomplice" was probably just her, the wronged passerby!
