Chapter 17 Is it really over?

Jian Yao didn't expect that the war would suddenly spread to her, and she subconsciously turned her head to look at Gu Zhiyan.

In fact, Jian Yao had no idea whether a proud man like Gu Zhiyan would give her face in front of his brothers.

But despite the burning gazes of the people around her, she still mustered up the courage to gently tug at Gu Zhiyan's sleeve, and looked at him with a pleading look.

Gu Zhiyan paused, his eyes darkened.

When he turned around again, the expression on his face had softened a lot.

"For your sister-in-law's sake, you can have fun today and I won't bother with you guys."

"Really?" Red Hair's eyes lit up, and he pressed on, "Then let's go drink after the party? Brother Gu will come too!"

They all play electronic games, which require very high physical fitness and hand speed. They are especially careful about what they eat, and tobacco and alcohol are strictly controlled.

I finally got Gu Zhiyan to agree, so of course I have to let myself go for once.

Gu Zhiyan kept looking at him in that position for a few seconds. When Red Hair thought his request was too outrageous and was about to lower the standard, Gu Zhiyan spoke.

"You can drink if you want, but you need to ask your sister-in-law if I can go."

As he spoke, he lowered his eyes to look at Jian Yao, a hint of smile spreading in his dark pupils. He perfectly portrayed the image of a young couple who enjoyed being controlled by their wife and showed off their affection by showing off their affection.

Jian Yao was amazed at Gu Zhiyan's superb acting skills and felt that she should not let him down either.

She twitched her lips, revealing a perfect smile, and said in a gentle tone, "Of course you can. You have come all the way here, and today's consumption will be paid by your brother Gu."

“Wow~!”

Amidst a burst of strange, teasing cries, Jian Yao whispered a few words into Gu Zhiyan's ear and went to the bathroom.

As soon as I turned the corner, I saw Mr. Li standing at the end of the corridor making a phone call.

He was a close friend of Jane's father. After her father passed away, he stood firmly behind her and her sister under great pressure, allowing her sister to take over Jane's smoothly.

It was only right for Jian Yao to greet him when she saw him, but when she saw that he was on the phone, she politely stood at a distance and waited.

"Boss Li, there's a problem with the materials Lu sent over this time. This is the third time. Are we still going to pretend we didn't see it?"

There was obvious anger and dissatisfaction in the assistant's voice.

The Li family is rich, but they can't keep being taken advantage of! Three batches of goods have had problems. Not only did the company lose hundreds of millions, but they also had to rent a warehouse to store the inferior goods. It's a waste to waste them!

Li Hao frowned upon hearing this, "Got it, I'm busy now, I'll go back and deal with it later."

After hanging up the phone, he took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a deep puff.

Given Li's position in the real estate industry, he actually has a lot of partners to choose from, and he doesn't have to be embarrassed because of the Lu family.

But the cooperation between Li and Lu was promoted by the girl Jian Yao, and she has always been fond of the boy from the Lu family.

He was afraid that something might go wrong in the cooperation, and the little girl would be caught in the middle and have a hard time, especially since the two of them were about to get engaged, so he could only suppress his anger and endure it.

Thinking of the engagement, Li Hao couldn't help but think of Gu Zhiyan, who had just come over with Jian Yao to toast him.

This little girl has been chasing after the boy from the Lu family for so many years, and now she’s about to be replaced by someone else. What’s going on?

"Uncle Li."

When Jian Yao saw him hang up the phone, she took the initiative to step forward and greet him.

"Hmm?" Li Hao turned around and saw Jian Yao, and quickly put out the cigarette in his hand, "Why did you come out, Mr. Gu... No, where is Zhiyan?"

He glanced behind Jian Yao but did not see Gu Zhiyan.

Jian Yao smiled shyly, "He's talking to his friends. I came out to get some fresh air."

She looked at Li Hao's tense brows and asked concernedly, "Did Uncle Li encounter any problem?"

Looks like he's worried.

Li Hao was afraid that she would think too much, but he did not refute her. "Don't talk about me first. Tell me first, what happened between you and that kid from the Lu family?"

"Really broken?"

Li Hao was a little bit unconvinced. How could a relationship of more than ten years be let go just like that?

If I really provoked Gu Zhiyan on impulse, it would be very irrational.

Jian Yao knew that Uncle Li really cared about her, so she didn't hide it and nodded honestly, "It's over. I didn't see clearly these years and insisted on doing it, which made Uncle Li and my sister embarrassed."

Looking back now, whether it was when her parents were alive, or her sister, Xu Si, and even Uncle Li, all the people close to her were not optimistic about her and Lu Chengze, and there was a reason for that.

Li Hao looked at the little girl in front of him, and when he thought that she was his brother's only blood, his heart softened and he tried to soften his voice.

"Okay, uncle got it."

"Now that I'm engaged to Gu... Zhiyan, I'll just live a good life from now on and forget about the past."

Jian Yao nodded obediently, "Okay, I'll listen to Uncle Li."

Watching Jian Yao's back disappear, Li Hao let out a heavy breath, picked up his phone and called the number just now, "I can't leave, you take the information to Lu's first, don't bear it anymore."

Having time to go to Shanghai to find his little lover shows that Lu Chengze is too idle.

In that case, let's find him something to do and let him see it carefully.

Humph, what is that!

＊

When the show was over, Jian Yao and Gu Zhiyan saw the guests off together.

After watching Old Lady Gu and others, as well as Jian Ning, and Xu Si leave, Pei Yi came out of the hotel with a group of laughing little white poplars, speaking in a casual tone.

"You send your sister-in-law back first, and we'll go to the old place to wait for you?"

Gu Zhiyan's lips curled slightly, "Okay, keep an eye on them and be careful on the road."

Several drivers have already driven over to pick up people.

Pei Yi snorted and chuckled, opened the car door, and stuffed the people in the back into the car one by one like a herd of sheep.

They had already drunk quite a bit at the banquet and their faces were all flushed. Even after being crammed into the car, they did not behave themselves and rolled down the windows and waved to Gu Zhiyan and Jian Yao.

Gu Zhiyan stood beside Jian Yao, like an emotionless human stand, ignoring their enthusiasm. If anyone shouted too loudly, he would glare at them.

In contrast, the gentle and beautiful Jian Yao not only responded one by one, but also patiently reminded them not to drink too much.

In just a few minutes, he had easily gained a lot of goodwill.

Even after the car had gone a long way, someone could still be heard shouting, "Goodbye, sister-in-law!"

The black convoy disappeared at the end of the road. Jian Yao turned around and saw Gu Zhiyan standing there lazily, looking at her leisurely with a faint smile on his face.

"You seem to like them."

From the time they appeared until they left, the smile on his face never faded.

Jian Yao blinked.

I didn't understand what Gu Zhiyan meant for a moment.

Why can't she like this group of enthusiastic and sweet-talking little cuties?

Jian Yao inadvertently recalled Pei Yi's charming face...

They are all Gu Zhiyan's brothers, so they should all know the relationship between him and Pei Yi, right?

Is that possible?

Is Gu Zhiyan testing her, warning her not to get too close to his friends and let Pei Yi misunderstand?
