Chapter 16 It's a bit like a love rival meeting

Jian Yao shook her head and said firmly, "No."

Special Assistant Lin is Lu Chengze's confidant, and his every word and action almost represents Lu Chengze's thoughts.

If it was because of other things, such as her conflict with Lu Chengze, with Special Assistant Lin providing a stepping stone, she might have stepped down.

But this time things are different.

Lu Chengze even missed the engagement party for Liu Yiyi, which had already touched her bottom line.

Every time, as long as Liu Yiyi had a headache or fever, Lu Chengze would leave her and go to find Liu Yiyi immediately.

Because she is gentle, generous and non-calculating, she deserves to be the one abandoned.

But she is also a human being, she has a heart, and she gets tired too.

From now on, whether Lu Chengze wants to repay her or pledge his love to her, it has nothing to do with her.

Xu Si observed her expression and saw that she had really figured it out. He breathed a sigh of relief and took out his phone. "Then I'll post today's photos on Weibo."

Jian Yao closed her eyes to make it easier for the makeup artist to touch up her makeup, and nodded softly.

She was officially engaged and there was nothing to hide.

There was a knock on the door. Xu Si opened it and saw Gu Zhiyan standing at the door.

Seeing that it was her who opened the door, the warmth in the man's eyes faded in an instant, revealing a bit of alienation, gradually overlapping with the Gu Zhiyan she had heard about.

Indifferent and cold.

Xu Si raised his eyebrows, looked him up and down, and thought to himself: He changes his face so quickly, he is really hypocritical and does not hide it at all.

Gu Zhiyan let Xu Si look at him, took a half step back to keep a distance from Xu Si, and nodded politely, "Hello, I'll pick up Yaoyao."

Xu Si was satisfied when he saw his actions.

Not to mention anything else, the most important thing is his sense of propriety. This alone makes him far better than the man named Lu.

She stepped aside to let him in.

Jian Yao had just finished packing and came over, "I've already packed."

She raised her head to look at Gu Zhiyan. As she moved, the tassels on the jade hairpin swayed slightly, and the moist green color made her black hair look as black as ink. There was a hint of confusion on her fair face.

"Why are you here?"

Gu Zhiyan readily raised his arm and let her hold his hand, saying in a gentle voice, "You don't understand."

"Now that you're no longer there to support me, it's hard for me to stand in front of the Gu family."

Jian Yao was at a loss.

Gu Zhiyan rarely kept the secret and winked at Jian Yao, "You'll know in a moment."

When he said this, he moved closer to Jian Yao, with a look of grievance and mockery between his brows.

Jian Yao looked into his eyes which were so close to her, and her small self was reflected clearly in them, crystal clear and flawless.

She was in a trance for a moment, then came to her senses, leaned back half an inch, and her stagnant breathing slowly recovered.

She heard herself say, "Okay."

Then, the fingers holding Gu Zhiyan tightened slightly.

As expected of the person who dominated the campus forums and confession walls for many years, a single look from him is enough to make people fall into depravity.

As we were talking, we had already arrived at the front hall.

Their seats were at the main table, and when Jian Yao came over, almost everyone's attention was focused on her.

Being watched by so many people, she unconsciously leaned closer to Gu Zhiyan.

Gu Zhiyan squeezed her hand soothingly, preparing to introduce her to the elders at the main table.

Old Mrs. Gu stood up enthusiastically and pulled Jian Yao to sit down, without even looking at Gu Zhiyan who was standing beside her, "We are all family, so let's not talk about those empty words."

The old lady patted the back of Jian Yao's hand and said, "You've been busy for so long today. Are you tired?"

"What do you like to eat? Grandma will give it to you."

When she looked up, she saw Gu Zhiyan had already picked up a piece of shrimp. She narrowed her eyes and said, "Yaoyao hasn't eaten yet, and you dare to pick up your chopsticks first?"

Gu Zhiyan kept smiling as he put the shrimps into Jian Yao's plate. "I dare not, I dare not, it's for Yao Yao."

As he spoke, he also took the time to glance at Jian Yao.

As if to say: See, I was right, wasn’t I?

The old lady gave him a look that said "this is good enough" and she also picked up a piece for Jian Yao and put it in the bowl. "Are you hungry? Eat slowly, no need to rush."

Jian Yao blushed, and when she smiled, her peach blossom eyes sparkled and her voice was sweet, "Thank you, grandma."

Mrs. Gu was so delighted when she heard the word "Grandma" that before she could say a few more words to Jian Yao, Mrs. Gu beside her picked up another piece of goose liver and put it in front of her.

"Yaoyao, I'm mom."

"Thank you, Mom."

Then came Gu's father, uncle, aunt and aunt.

In less than three minutes, Jian Yao's plate was already piled with food.

When the toasts started after dinner, Jian Yao was surrounded by various gift boxes.

With Gu Zhiyan and the Gu family around, those who had originally planned to laugh at Jian Yao and the Jian family shut up one after another.

Apart from the Gu family's extraordinary enthusiasm which made Jian Yao feel a little flattered, the toasting process went surprisingly smoothly.

The last table was occupied by a group of handsome young men. When they saw Gu Zhiyan and Jian Yao coming over, they all stood up and shouted with a smile, "Hello, Brother Gu, Hello, Sister-in-law!"

Gu Zhiyan glanced at them calmly, then lowered his eyes to look at Jian Yao, "They were my teammates and brothers when I played e-sports before."

When the group of people heard Gu Zhiyan introduce them, they all stood up straight, like little white poplars in the wind.

Jian Yao nodded and scanned their faces one by one. Almost all of them were familiar faces.

It’s not that she has ever paid attention to the e-sports circle, but that the friends of geniuses are also geniuses.

Some of the people at this table are still active, and some have retired but are still big anchors on the live streaming platform.

In this age of information explosion, it is hard not to recognize her face.

The one who concerned her the most was probably Pei Yi.

Among the rumors, the most popular one is about him and Gu Zhiyan.

The two grew up together, went to school together, and started a business together after graduation.

In Gu Zhiyan's life, Pei Yi's participation is as high as more than 90%.

The most important thing is that he has a good family background and good looks, and is on par with Gu Zhiyan, and they are evenly matched!

When he greeted her just now, everyone stood up except him, who sat lazily in his seat, sipping the red wine in the glass slowly. When he raised his narrow, rosy phoenix eyes and looked over at her, he was captivating.

Jian Yao opened her eyes wide, her dark pupils sparkling as if stars were falling from them.

Hiss~

This look, this posture, it's like a meeting between rivals in love!

Gu Zhiyan saw Jian Yao staring at Pei Yi, pursed his thin lips, and calmly took half a step forward to block Jian Yao's sight.

From an angle she couldn't see, a cold look flew towards Pei Yi who was spreading his feathers like a peacock.

After receiving Gu Zhiyan's warning, Pei Yi chuckled, drank the wine in the glass, straightened his clothes and stood up, "Hello, sister-in-law, I'm Pei Yi."

He stood up straight and looked like a serious person when he was serious.

The change was so fast that Jian Yao was a little slow to react. After two seconds, she whispered, "Hello, I'm Jian Yao."

The young boys standing by watched the interaction between the three and made faces.

One of the brave little red-haired ones laughed loudly, "Sister-in-law is so beautiful!"

As soon as he opened his mouth, others immediately echoed, "Sister-in-law is so beautiful!"

Gu Zhiyan gave him a cold look, but the little red-haired boy was not afraid and chuckled twice, "Brother Gu, today is a happy day, you can't punish me!"

He shouted and asked Jian Yao for help, "Sister-in-law, is that right?"
