Chapter 12: Such a man was actually digested internally?
“Ah~”
Xu Si let out a sharp cry and happily hugged Jian Yao into his arms, "Sister, you have guts!"
Jian Yao was held tightly in her arms, his nose filled with the sweet scent of her perfume, and he felt extremely safe.
Overly excited Xu Si simply stayed at Jian's house and found out everything about how Jian Yao and Gu Zhiyan got together.
After learning that the two were just partners and that Gu Zhiyan was most likely attracted to men, Xu Si sighed three times, "What a pity!"
"A man like this actually digested himself internally?"
Xu Si rolled over in bed in his pajamas, holding his heart with one hand as if in grief.
Jian Yao smiled and pushed her, "Okay, stop making trouble!"
"Look at it in a positive way. If he didn't like men, how could I have taken advantage of him?"
Xu Si turned over and sat up, thinking of Lu Chengze, and sneered, "Yeah, if you want to slap Lu Chengze in the face, there is no one more suitable than Gu Zhiyan in the world."
It was the middle of the night, and if Jian Yao hadn't stopped him, Xu Si would have wanted to post 800 messages on WeChat Moments to piss Lu Chengze off to death.
The makeup artist and stylist arrived at around five o'clock the next morning.
Jian Yao sat in front of the dressing table and let the makeup artist work on her face.
She has fair skin and good facial features, so she just needs some simple makeover. Her hair is combed into a princess bun with slightly curled ends.
There were two dresses chosen, one was a red strapless dress to wear during the ceremony, and the other was a set of ruby jewelry left by Jane's mother.
The other set was sent by the Gu family. It consisted of a white silk shirt and a red brocade horse mask, and the matching jewelry was an emerald phoenix-head hairpin and bracelet.
The first set was okay. The dress and jewelry together cost no more than a few tens of millions, which was pretty average.
But when Xu Si saw the hairpin and bracelet, even he, who prided himself on having grown up in a wealthy family, was surprised.
Material of this quality is truly luxurious to use to make hairpins.
She made two "tsk tsk" sounds. The total amount of these two amounts was at least one or two hundred million. She just casually put the box on the bed.
For a moment, she didn't know whether to say that the Gu family was generous or that Jian Yao was careless.
Although Jian Yao's face was worry-free enough, it still took more than two hours. When we left Jian's house for the hotel, it was already past eight o'clock.
In the carriage, Jian Yao sat in the middle of the back seat, watching the scenery outside the window rapidly receding. Thinking about meeting Gu Zhiyan's family soon, she nervously held the phone in her hand.
Buzz.
The phone suddenly vibrated.
Jian Yao turned on her phone and a photo popped up.
In the VIP ward of the hospital, a man in a white shirt and black trousers was serving porridge with his back to the bed. His coat was casually draped on the sofa beside him, and the whole picture looked lazy and casual.
Even without seeing his face, Jian Yao could recognize at a glance that it was Lu Chengze.
Even though she had already decided to give up on Lu Chengze completely, when she saw this photo, Jian Yao's heart still skipped a beat and she felt sore and numb.
Xu Simin, who was standing by, noticed Jian Yao's change of mood quickly, frowned and looked at her phone, "What's going on..."
The remaining half of the sentence got stuck halfway and turned into a curse.
"Why don't these two bastards just die!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he was about to grab Jian Yao's phone to take a screenshot, but the person on the other end quickly withdrew the message and added another sentence.
"Sorry, Miss Jian, I made a mistake."
Xu Si tightly grasped his phone, his face dark as ink dripped out, and he angrily uttered, "Fuck!"
This dead green tea!
Jian Yao had already calmed down the emotions that had just surged up instinctively, and calmly raised her hand to help Xu Si calm down, "Why are you angry? If she wants Lu Chengze, then give him to her."
Jian Yao took her phone, tapped her finger, sent a message "It's okay", and blocked the message.
In a ward far away in Shanghai, Liu Yiyi leaned on the bed, looking at the message she had just received on her mobile phone, and was stunned for a moment.
Liu Yiyi was almost tired of this trick of using torture to get Lu Chengze to release Jian Yao to accompany her. She would take a photo and send it to Jian Yao almost every time.
For several years, Jian Yao has always been proud of her status and pretended not to see it.
The more dignified, graceful and at ease she was, the more she looked like a clueless little clown.
That feeling of being ignored, of never taking her seriously, made her feel powerless, as if she was punching cotton.
She admitted that she did it on purpose.
She knew how much Jian Yao was looking forward to her engagement with Lu Chengze, so she deliberately chose today to send it to her at this time to stimulate her.
She wanted to make Jian Yao go crazy and mad, and even better, insult and scold her, so that she could let Lu Chengze see Jian Yao's true face.
Look at the kind, gentle and considerate Jian Yao in his eyes and find out what kind of person she is.
After sending the message, she kept staring at her phone, watching the person typing, waiting for Jian Yao's reply.
Unexpectedly, only three words.
"It doesn't matter."
Not crazy, no insults or curses, even so calm that it's frightening.
With a woman's intuition, Liu Yiyi felt that something was different this time.
She looked at the phone screen which had gone dark due to long periods of inactivity.
The dark screen reflected her pale face, which looked particularly pitiful because it had been specially groomed.
Special Assistant Lin came in from outside and looked at the bed expressionlessly, "Ms. Liu, President Lu will take a flight back to Beijing today. You should take good care of yourself. The work has been handed over to someone else."
The sudden voice brought Liu Yiyi back to her senses instantly.
She bit her lip unwillingly, "Boss Lu is leaving?"
She has already cut her wrists, but she still can't keep this man?
Liu Yiyi felt a chill in her heart, but considering the presence of Special Assistant Lin, she forced herself to suppress it.
"Then can I go back to Beijing with Mr. Lu?"
No matter what, Lu Chengze is already the best choice she can get, and she will never give up easily, even if he is engaged or even married.
Special Assistant Lin frowned. He had specially asked Liu Yiyi to come to Shanghai on a business trip in advance because he was afraid that she would cause trouble at President Lu's engagement banquet and send people away.
Unexpectedly, despite all the precautions, she still managed to bring Mr. Lu over.
Now, the engagement party has been half ruined because of her. If I stop her from going back now, who knows what more trouble might happen.
The marriage between the Lu and Jian families was imminent. Special Assistant Lin did not dare to gamble anymore. He nodded in disgust and said, "Then you pack up and I'll go book the ticket."
He said, and walked away.
Liu Yiyi looked at his departing back and clenched her fingers. Her long nails dug into her flesh, as if she didn't feel any pain.
This damn Assistant Lin is so difficult to deal with. No matter how she tries to please him, he remains unmoved.
Liu Yiyi lowered her eyes, a hint of cruelty flashing in her eyes.
When she becomes the wife of President Lu, she will get rid of him first.
The banquet hall of the Jingshi Hotel was already full of people.
The Jian family does not have many relatives, and most of the people who came are business partners, company shareholders, and close friends of the Jian family’s parents.
Among these people, there were those who were truly kind to the Jane sisters, and naturally there were also those who came here deliberately to make fun of them.
It was no secret that the daughter of the Jian family, who had been brought back from the journey, had been chasing after the illegitimate son of the Lu family every day.
What's even more ridiculous is that after spending a huge amount of resources to promote this person, not only did he not get any respect from the Lu family, but not even a single member of the Lu family attended the engagement party.
