Chapter 124: Keep Male Ethics

Pei Yi was full of righteousness in his heart. When he heard what Assistant Xu said, he almost squeezed out a few words from between his teeth.

"It's all because of you, Boss Gu. You broke your back and are now seeking revenge!"

Thinking of the scratches all over Gu Zhiyan's back, he touched his face exaggeratedly, "You have forgotten your old love because you have a new one. You actually want me, who is so handsome, to go to Shadu to scout the new dungeon."

"Is there still justice? Is there still law?"

Assistant Xu was already used to Pei Yi's various funny remarks and could accurately extract useful information from his nonsense.

This guy is being mean again, mocking Mr. Gu for being sent out, and it’s still Shadu.

Assistant Xu took a look at Pei Yi's skin. As a programmer who sat in front of a computer all day, his skin was indeed too good.

He looked at Pei Yi's thick hair again, touched his own slightly sparse hair, and comforted him.

"In fact, although the climate in Sandakan is a bit bad and there is more sand, the scenery is still very beautiful. Just think of it as a public-funded tour."

After that, he changed the subject and asked, "When are you leaving? Can you give me the skin care products and shampoo brands before you leave?"

Assistant Xu patted his face. He was a hard worker at work and had acne. "My girlfriend complains about my bad skin every day. If I don't take care of my skin, I'm afraid my wife will run away."

Pei Yi covered his chest and said, "Assistant Xu, our brotherhood ends here!"

He never wanted to talk to anyone with a partner again!

Assistant Xu waved from behind, "Before we part ways, can you give me some skin care products and shampoo first?"

Pei Yi stood in the elevator and pressed the close button hard.

…

Before leaving, Jian Yao finally pulled out a simple white shirt from the closet and buttoned it up to the collar, just enough to cover the marks on her neck.

A message popped up on the phone, it was from Gu Zhiyan.

"I'm at the door. Just come out when you're done packing."

Jian Yao replied, "Okay."

Then pick up your bag and go out.

When I opened the car door and got in, I found that Gu Zhiyan had put his jacket and tie aside. He was only wearing a simple white shirt with two buttons undone at the collar, revealing his slender, cold white neck and collarbone.

At first glance, it looked like the two of them were wearing couple outfits on purpose.

Gu Zhiyan saw Jian Yao's eyes sweeping across his neck, and he slowly buttoned up his collar one by one. The delicate pink diamond cufflinks on his wrists sparkled, so bright that it was stunning.

Jian Yao's eyes froze.

It seemed that since she gave him this pair of cufflinks, Gu Zhiyan never used any other cufflinks.

The anger in my heart finally dissipated a little.

"Why tie it up?"

Same as the old cadres.

Didn’t it look pretty just now?

Gu Zhiyan said seriously, "You must observe male ethics."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Jian Yao thoughtfully and said, "Of course, if Madam wants to see it, I can show it to you alone tonight."

Jian Yao: "Thank you!"

Gu Zhiyan took the steering wheel and started the car. "You're welcome. Fulfilling the duties of a couple is the duty of every husband."

The car slowly merged into the traffic and headed towards Jufulou.

Gu Zhiyan concentrated on driving, and Jian Yao's gaze gradually shifted from the road ahead to Gu Zhiyan's handsome profile.

Jian Yao discovered that her personality seemed to have changed a little after being with Gu Zhiyan.

It seems like... I have a tendency to let myself go, especially when I'm alone.

Before, she would think carefully before speaking each word.

But now, she is in a relaxed state, doing whatever she wants.

When she gets angry, even Gu Zhiyan will be scolded by her.

Jian Yao tightly grasped the strap of her bag in her hand, thinking hazily.

Does this count as...being spoiled?

In the private room of Jufulou.

Everyone hadn't seen each other for many years, and more than 20 people gathered in groups of three or four to chat.

Squad leader Zhao Chen glanced at his watch, pushed his glasses, frowned and looked at Lu Jiajia.

"Will Mr. Gu and Jian Yao really come?"

Lu Jiajia also glanced at her phone. "He should be here soon. It's still early. Why are you in such a hurry?"

The days are longer in the summer, and it gets dark after eight o'clock. It's only seven o'clock now.

When the others heard Zhao Chen and Lu Jiajia mention Gu Zhiyan and Jian Yao, they stopped talking and looked over.

"Yeah, Mr. Gu and Jian Yao are so busy, they won't miss coming, right?"

"Lu Jiajia, did you really meet Mr. Gu and Jian Yao that day?"

After all, up to now, only Lu Jiajia said that Jian Yao and the others would come, and there was no evidence, it was all her one-sided statement.

The classmates finally got together, and Lu Jiajia was originally very happy, but now being questioned by everyone, she felt a little uncomfortable and her face looked a little unhappy.

Among my classmates, some are senior executives in large companies, some are self-employed, and some are taking shortcuts by marrying rich men.

With a family background, poor academic performance, poor looks, and a poor job, Lu Jiajia is the worst off among them, so the others either act critically critical or stand by and watch, unwilling to cause trouble and seek a sense of presence.

For a while, I felt a bit isolated.

One of the girls, who was wearing a white designer dress and had a delicate face, snorted softly.

"Lv Jiajia, you didn't meet Gu Zhiyan and Jian Yao at all, and you said this on purpose to attract attention, right?"

She lifted her carefully styled hair, the latest ring on her finger reflecting a cold silver light, and said sarcastically, "You still say that they are in love? They and I went to the same university, and I have never heard of them having any intersection."

If there is any intersection, it is the fight between Gu Zhiyan and Lu Chengze. What does it have to do with Jian Yao?

She felt that the possibility of Gu Zhiyan and Lu Chengze being in true love was greater than that of Gu Zhiyan and Jian Yao.

Even if they get married, it is a family marriage.

However, the Gu family and the Jian family are not at the same level at all. The Gu family is a century-old family with complicated rules and regulations. Jian Yao's life after marriage is probably not going to be easy, so she didn't dare to come.

Lu Jiajia could tolerate them talking about herself, but why did they involve Mr. Gu and Jian Yao?

She suppressed her anger and retorted, "They've already received the marriage certificate and have also done a live broadcast together. Mr. Gu has no connection with Jian Yao. Could it be that he has connection with you?"

She remembered that Bai Yue's family ran a chain of breakfast shops and she had some money. When she was in school, she would often show off her luxury goods in front of her classmates and even extended an olive branch to Gu Zhiyan.

It's just that people look down on her.

After graduation, I heard that she became a beauty blogger and had 400,000 to 500,000 fans. I thought that as a public figure, she would be more cautious in her words, but I didn't expect that she became even more arrogant.

Bai Yue was arrogant to begin with and looked down on Lu Jiajia, a young teacher. Now that she saw that she dared to confront her, she stood up and was about to argue with her.

"Who do you think you are? How dare you..."

"That's enough."

Zhao Chen scolded, and Bai Yue swallowed the rest of the sentence back into her stomach. She looked at Zhao Chen aggrievedly, "Brother Chen!"

Zhao Chen winked at her, and she glared at Lu Jiajia and sat down reluctantly.
