Gou An: Can I reopen it? The farce ended when the white Rolls-Royce stopped at the door of the restaurant, and the person who came to take charge of the situation today arrived late.

When everyone's attention shifted to the man who got off the car, as if he was blind or couldn't read the air at all, Ye Lang stubbornly held the hand of the young master of the He family, as if as soon as he let go, the latter would rush towards Gou An like a rabid dog.

But Gou An doesn't care.

Looking at He Jinxing who was approaching step by step in formal attire, Gou An realized that this was a great moment: the men in the original novel were holding a meeting.

A cold and unfamiliar (and extremely stupid) fiancé.

A powerful uncle.

A wolf bodyguard in sheep's clothing.

Just like that, without any warning, the three people who wanted to kill her suddenly showed up.

——Of course, her stupid brother who hasn’t even fully grown his hair and is undoubtedly uncompetitive does not count.

He Ran was humiliated and bared his fangs at Ye Lang: "Get your dirty hands off me!"

Instead of scaring Ye Lang away, Gou An subconsciously took a step back.

The bodyguard's face was expressionless, and at this time, the current leader of the He family approached. His height of nearly 1.9 meters completely overwhelmed the other two. He stood about one meter behind Ye Lang and asked with a smile: "What's going on?"

Ye Lang seemed to have just noticed that there was someone here, and slowly turned his head -

In fact, his black eyes flashing with vigilance betrayed his motives. It was obvious that he had known that someone was approaching from behind.

He Jinxing was slightly startled when he looked at him. After a few seconds of silence, the man's faint smile did not change at all: "Why is Alang here?"

It seems that they have known each other for a long time.

Ye Lang's face was blank: "Work."

As he spoke, the force in his hands increased. He Ran cried out in pain unexpectedly. Then, perhaps realizing that he was being completely suppressed and quite humiliating, he swallowed the sound in his throat. He gloomily confronted Ye Lang -

The latter turned sideways, secretly competing with him, while staring at He Jinxing.

"Why are you working here? Master Hong Jiu is here too today?" He Jinxing asked.

"He fired me," Ye Lang said in a nonchalant tone, as if he were talking about someone else's business, "The Jiang family's business was not handled well."

He Jinxing raised his eyebrows.

"Now I work for Gou Yu."

He finished.

"Ah, yes, I did hear some rumors that Master Hong Jiu was very unhappy with the chaos that happened a few days ago in Ye Weiyang... It was Master Hong Jiu who let go of Alang because of his impulsiveness that allowed those of us outside to take advantage of him. We really have to thank him."

While He Jinxing was talking to him, he raised his hand calmly and gently patted the back of Ye Lang's hand, which was tightly holding He Ran's hand, causing veins to bulge.

"If Gou Yu doesn't make a move, the invitation letter from my He family will be placed on the table at Alang's house tomorrow."

The man's tone of voice didn't change much from beginning to end.

At this time, Gou An saw that He Jinxing also had several bandages wrapped around his hands.

At the same time, he also noticed that when Ye Lang's hand was touched, his muscles tensed up, just like a cat that suddenly stood up and arched its back.

But it only lasted a few seconds, and soon he relaxed again.

Staring at He Jinxing's gentle face, Ye Lang was silent for two seconds, then let go of He Ran without warning.

He Ran was freed and immediately stepped back, staring at Ye Lang with vigilant eyes, and said in a bad tone: "Are you the new bodyguard of the Gou family? Don't you know who I am?"

No one paid any attention to him.

The moment Ye Lang let go of He Ran, He Jinxing stepped back and gestured to the people gathered at the door of the restaurant to go to the private room, and the huge group of people began to move.

Gou An huddled aside and watched the whole show. When most people had left, she slowly moved to Ye Lang, who was still staring at He Jinxing's back.

"Are you afraid of him?"

It couldn't be said that her tone was not gloating.

"His hand is injured, are you still afraid of him?"

It’s like discovering a new world.

There was no answer for a long time. He raised his head and tried to look at the person in front of him, and found that he pursed his lips - others might not know, but Gou An knew the person in front of him very well. This subtle movement was probably the reaction he would have when he was unhappy and didn't know how to deal with it.

………………My heart was instantly filled with joy.

It was difficult to control the corners of his lips from curling up like Doraemon. Gou An sighed, stood on tiptoe, raised his hand, and patted the bodyguard's stiff shoulder quite unnecessarily.

"It's okay. I understand."

After throwing down these words that were totally adding fuel to the fire and hitting Ye Lang's self-esteem like crazy, Miss Gou passed him by with a "( ///*v*///)" face.

Afraid of He Jinxing?

She is afraid too.

But the enemy of my enemy is my friend. This principle is eternal and always applicable.

Because of the little incident at the door of the restaurant, Gou An became particularly friendly towards He Jinxing today, so when arranging the seats, the parents asked her and He Ran to sit on the left and right of He Jinxing like protectors, and she did not resist at all.

Even though their ultimate goal might very well be to get her and He Ran to politely shake hands and make peace, and then part ways amicably.

Except for Mr. He who was absent from the dinner table, even Gou Xun was present.

Gou An didn't know what he was doing here, he saw Jiang Yuan standing behind him, frantically poking his back with his fingers and pushing him towards him. He frowned tightly and made impatient "hiss" and "hiss" sounds.

Gou An took the initiative to walk in front of him and looked up at him——

Before she knew it, her brother, who was two years younger than her, had grown so tall.

What a pity, the older I get the more I hate it.

This tall but brainless kid suddenly lost his voice at this moment because of his sister's approach. The arrogance on his face disappeared, and his hands and feet became stiff.

"An An." Gou Xun's throat tightened, "I'm sorry about Jiao Jiao. I shouldn't have said that to you."

Gou An: Do you forgive him?

【Jiao Jiao: QWQ meow! 】

Gou An: "Oh, Jiao Jiao will not forgive you."

Gou Xun: “…”

Gou An: "Relax and feel guilty. After all, not every 'I'm sorry' will be forgiven."

Gou Xun: “…”

Gou An: "By the way, do you have to invite Lu Wan to your coming-of-age ceremony?"

Gou Xun was stunned and didn't say anything.

So his sister, who was a head shorter than him, raised her hand and tore off the Band-Aid on his chin. Gou Xun was caught off guard and let out an "owl" and covered his chin, looking at him in panic and aggrieved look.

"Now I say that I don't forgive you either." Gou An shook the Band-Aid in his hand, looked at the scabbed wound on his chin caused by He Ran's beating, and sneered, "It wasn't me who did it, why are you showing off your pity?"

Gou Xun's expression changed again and again.

Gou An stuffed the Band-Aid back into Gou Xun's stiff hand with an expressionless face, then turned and left.

Behind the two, He Ran was leaning on a cane. He looked miserable but that didn't stop him from watching and sneering. He seemed to be mocking Gou Xun: "Look, you work so hard, but what good can you get from her? " Gou Xun: "What are you looking at? Do you still want to fight?"

He Ran, who was also in a bad mood, threw away his crutches again and hopped forward on one foot: "Come on?"

Then Jiang Yuan slapped the two young men on the back at the same time.

As Gou An took his seat with stiff steps, he could still hear Jiang Yuan continuing to poke his son's back: "I've already told you, your sister is super angry, she really hates that Miss Lu... Don't think you can get away with it this time."

Gou An sat down, and the area around He Jinxing was very quiet.

The only people left at the table were the parents of the two families. They had been neighbors for many years and had long since given up on the hypocritical etiquette. They each found someone to chat with and chatted about this and that.

Gou An thought about it, then tilted his head to secretly look at the man next to him. Well, after changing into formal clothes, he became the decisive Mr. He sitting in the office again.

The only thing that reminded her was the bandaged hand, which lasted about twenty minutes yesterday, when the whole style of the painting seemed to be thrown out of whack.

"……hand."

He Jinxing lowered his eyes.

"What's wrong?"

Gou An looked at him and swallowed. Under her nervous gaze, the man raised his hand and said, "Secretary Liu is just making a fuss."

"oh."

The atmosphere was too peaceful, and the theme of "breaking off the engagement" suddenly became unclear.

"My son is ignorant."

"An An is a little willful sometimes."

"It's us, He Ran, who are unlucky."

"Don't ever say that."

"The old man has said that the male members of the He family will have to compile a roster for An An to select. Even my little nephew who is studying at an Ivy League school in the United States was forced to send in his daily life photos."

"Oh ha ha ha ha, this is really troublesome for the old man, thank him for me."

Gou An pricked up his ears and listened for a while and felt a little bored. He glanced at He Ran across He Jinxing. He Ran had a gloomy face and no one knew what he was thinking. The bowl of soup that the waiter had helped to serve at the beginning was left there, untouched.

He seems very distressed.

Gou An just wants to be a bit of a masochist.

He casually picked up the small wine glass filled with a little Wuliangye liquor and raised it to He Ran: "Come on, Master He, if you can't drink the closing drink, how about a parting drink?"

Hovering in the air, only Meow Meow Meow was going crazy——

[Jiao Jiao: ...Can you take a break? ]

[Jiao Jiao: Do ​​I have to invite cats and dogs to arrange everything on the list?! ]

He Ran looked up at her with a gloomy face.

The smile on her face was flawless, and there was no sign of forced smile at all.

The veins on He Ran's forehead throbbed, and he was about to curse when he heard He Jinxing say calmly, "Okay, A'ran, I taught you to finish what you start."

So he had to stand up with a gloomy face, support himself on the table, and drink this inexplicable farewell drink with tea and wine, with his swollen and smelly face, reluctantly.

Putting down the wine glass, Gou An accidentally caught a glimpse of Ye Lang in the corner, standing there motionless with a serious face.

Gou An: “…”

[Jiao Jiao: The share of money used to provoke him has already been used downstairs! ! ! ]

[Jiao Jiao: Please!!!]

[Jiao Jiao: Damai!!!]

Gou An: “…”

Silently moving her eyes away, Miss Gou unfortunately discovered that the person she liked the most tonight was actually her next-door neighbor, the uncle—

He was a great hero today as he killed Ye Lang and He Ran without making any noise and without making any appearance.

At this time, the man took off his suit jacket and was only wearing a shirt. The shirt was folded slightly above the wrist, revealing the wrist closest to her, on which was an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak watch.

Made of stainless steel, with a dark dial.

With each slight movement of his hand, she seemed to hear the ticking sound of the stopwatch. At the same time, the familiar scent of the same cologne as the murderer drifted into her nose.

His eyes were fixed on the protruding joints on his wrists.

Before Gou An could react, she muttered in her heart, "Why do you keep talking? You need to be full to have the energy to fuck others." Then she stretched out her chopsticks to pick up the shrimp dumplings that happened to be in front of her and put them in the man's white porcelain bowl next to her.

The round, bite-sized crystal shrimp dumplings rolled into the ceramic bowl, and Gou An even used his own chopsticks.

The whole process was done silently.

"Chen Jinli told me a few days ago that he hopes the development of Jinshan Wharf will still be based on environmental protection as the first principle."

Only He Jinxing's obvious pause and unnatural and strange punctuation revealed that he did not miss the fact that he was being fed.

And He Jinxing didn't have to react at all...

The person who was feeding him, who had come to his senses, cracked first.

【Jiao Jiao: ……】

【Jiao Jiao: What are you doing? 】

Gou An: ...

Gou An: I don’t know.

Gou An: Maybe it was because of your words “all the people on the list have been arranged”.

[Jiao Jiao: Are you blaming me? ………………Please be a good person. Who among us is the beast? You did something stupid and you actually want to blame a poor cat! ! ! ]

Gou An: It is also possible that he was bewitched and confused by the male protagonist who had sex with Ye Lang and He Ran.

Gou An: Wouldn’t it be even more outrageous if I took it back and ate it myself now? [Jiao Jiao: Yes.]

Gou An was about to break the chopsticks in her hand, especially when Chun Mao asked in a confused tone, "Are you the one who is trying to win over the male protagonist or is the male protagonist trying to win over you?" She felt that her face might not be much whiter than the cooked shrimp in the crystal shrimp dumplings.

The soul floats out of the body from the corners of the mouth.

He Jinxing didn't touch the food she picked up at all.

…………This is even more miserable.

In Gou An's mind, she was already grabbing her hair, twisting and crawling wildly, screaming: Ahhhhhh I'm being rejected, help me, the friendship level hasn't moved, is it stuck? Does he have mysophobia? If so, it's completely screwed. I'm afraid the friendship level will be directly reset to zero. Then can I go directly to the next world! [Jiao Jiao: The next world is only in front of the desk of the King of Hell. ]

[Jiao Jiao: You are a female supporting character who has awakened in a book, not a female supporting character who is about to be awakened. ]

Gou An: “…”

Otherwise, you'd better be smart and jump off the building yourself.

When she was so embarrassed that her toes were digging the ground in her shoes frantically, she saw He Jinxing's hands move. He picked up his cell phone while talking to Gou Yu.

He unlocked the phone and entered a certain page, tapped a few times, then put it down with a normal expression.

At the same time he put down his phone, Gou An saw his phone screen light up, indicating that there was a new WeChat message coming in.

She stopped meddling in Mr. He's affairs and stretched her neck to take a look at her phone.

Then I was shocked to see that the Crayon Shin-chan avatar that had been on the list for a while lit up and appeared at the first position in the chat list.

【HJX:? 】

Just a question mark.

This question mark contains a lot of information. Based on Gou An's understanding of him (actually he doesn't know him well), he may feel that he is hopelessly stupid and has lost his ability to pick up food, so the food he wanted to eat ended up in his bowl.

It’s a wonder he didn’t turn hostile on the spot.

Holding the phone, Gou An did not reply to him, but took action as an answer -

She picked up a similar shrimp dumpling with her chopsticks and put it in her bowl, then started eating it seriously.

In fact, the ears are erected high.

The tips of his ears were suspiciously red.

Beside her, He Jinxing acted as if nothing had happened, still chatting with Gou Yu across from He Ran about a piece of land at Jinshan Wharf. It sounded like her father was asking for a lot of money, daydreaming in broad daylight -

"An An really likes marine animals," Gou Yu said. "When he was a child, he got mad at me because I couldn't revive the Mosasaur, and I couldn't appease him no matter what I did."

"So she stayed in the College of Oceanography at Jiangcheng A University, which is the most complete source of marine research in the country."

"Yes, with her college entrance examination score, she could have gone to a better school."

Gou Yu said so much just to get He Jinxing to advance the money to build the country's (even world-class) largest seaside oceanarium at the Jinshan Wharf which is under development. Mr. Gou was even shameless enough to say that building a purely simulated living environment marine life museum without animal performances was An An's second dream besides resurrecting the Mosasaur when she was a child. How could an elder not satisfy her?

Gou An sipped the soup in the shrimp dumplings and thought, "At that time, your answer was that if An An asked for the moon in the sky, his father would give it to him." Now, you've drawn the pie yourself and you've given it to He Jinxing to bake? I'm afraid he'll pay any attention to you.

Just as she was sighing, "Oh, men," she heard He Jinxing say, "It's not impossible to consider it."

Gou An: “?”

While Gou An thought there was something wrong with her ears, she saw out of the corner of her eye that the man was talking to Gou Yu, and he picked up the spoon very naturally and put the shrimp dumpling that had been neglected for a while into his mouth.

No one at the table noticed anything was wrong.

Only Gou Yu, who was paying attention to He Jinxing the whole time and had to pay attention to the series of small movements of his daughter who was sitting next to Mr. He, reacted.

Gou Yu's psychological quality is obviously not as strong as He Jinxing's.

This caused him to stop talking halfway through. The usually eloquent Gou opened his mouth and got stuck...

At this moment, the expression on his face was hesitant and confused, as if he was a little doubtful about what he had just seen.
