Chapter 18: Watch out for the camera
Gao Li and Jian Yi were invited to the Jian family villa for dinner.
On the way, No. 13 reported to her the completion status of the mission.
"Host, your current mission progress is [238/840], miraculous medicine [12 (internal) + 22 (external)/120], keep working hard."
Gao Li nodded in a daze.
She was not sleepy at first and was full of energy, but then she slowly fell asleep without knowing why.
By the time they were woken up, Jian Yi had already recovered his energy, but she had not gotten enough sleep because she was interrupted.
She threw away her dress and changed into a comfortable Japanese cotton and linen apricot-colored dress, which was lazy, loose and casual.
How could she not be lazy at this moment?
His head moved little by little like a chick pecking at rice, and finally rested on Jian Yi's shoulder, where he found a comfortable position and began to catch up on his sleep.
Jian Yi did not push her away and let her get close to him.
The driver saw all this through the rearview mirror, and then reported it to Jian Zhengyuan calmly.
The car stopped and Gao Li stared at the huge mansion in front of him with his eyes wide open in amazement.
——[What a huge, luxurious villa.]
——[I wrote all of this.]
The gate opened automatically, and groups of servants stood in two rows, bowing to welcome them.
Gao Li was startled.
——[It’s like traveling back to the royal nobility of ancient times.]
"This way, please."
A maid led them along the way, skirting rockery and clear lakes, a quiet and peaceful place.
——[I have to say, Jian Zhengyuan really knows how to live life. This is so enjoyable.]
They were led into the main hall.
"Wait a moment."
The servant prepared tea and snacks for them and left.
Gao Lishui's bright eyes looked left and right but he didn't touch the tea and snacks.
She still remembered the poisoning incident at the Jian family.
The first to come in were this morning's protagonists, Jian Sili and Su Sangwan.
Seeing them, Gao Li's subconsciously raised corners of his mouth suddenly stopped, and finally turned down in a hurry.
——[I don’t have Alzheimer’s, I still remember what happened this morning.]
——[My daughter-in-law and son-in-law are not like that, how could they be OOC?]
Number 13 spoke up, "Actually, it can't be said to be OOC. It might be because of different standpoints. From their perspective, they really hate Jian Yi, and in their eyes, you and Jian Yi are in the same group, so they also have a preconceived aversion to you."
——[I don’t care. Their behavior hurt me, and I’m unhappy.]
No. 13: "...Okay, whatever you say is fine."
Gao Li's expression change was too obvious for Su Sangwan and Jian Sili to ignore.
They looked at each other and didn't care.
Who cares about the preferences of someone you hate?
The next people to come in were Zhou Lan and Jian Shaoyi who was being carried by her.
Zhou Lan was dressed elegantly, wearing jade bracelets and jewelry that were very valuable. She looked like the wife of a wealthy aristocrat.
The redness and swelling on Jian Shaoyi's face had not yet subsided, clearly showing Gao Li's battle record.
As soon as she saw Gao Li, she got furious and wanted to tear her apart.
Zhou Lan pulled her, and Jian Sili glared at her, the majesty in his eyes was self-evident.
Jian Shaoyi pouted and sat down feeling aggrieved.
The last person to appear was Jian Zhengyuan.
At this point, all the people in the Jian family were present.
Oh, there is also Zheng Hui, but she is traveling. She doesn't live here since the old man died.
Jian Zhengyuan sat at the top seat, while Gao Li and Jian Yi were placed at the bottom.
After they were formally seated, servants came in with dishes. Soon, the table was filled with dishes.
Gao Li's eyes followed them as they put the disc on the market again and again.
——[Every one of them looks delicious. Can I eat them? Are they poisonous?]
Jian Shaoyi couldn't bear to watch it any longer, "You're just a country bumpkin who has never seen the world."
The sound is small, but audible.
Zhou Lan nudged her arm with a stern look in her eyes.
Jian Shaoyi pursed his lips, thinking of the repeated warnings from his family, and held his breath without making a sound.
Jian Zhengyuan started eating, and then the others followed suit. They ate slowly, but kept staring at Jian Yi.
Jian Zhengyuan suddenly laughed and said, "I don't know when your face recovered. Your family members don't even know."
——[Oh, if I could tell you what would happen, I wouldn’t even be able to see the sun tomorrow.]
"Well..." Jian Yi frowned, "To be exact, I'm not sure, it was probably last night. When I woke up this morning and saw it myself, I was shocked. I really don't know if something magical happened to me."
Except for Gao Li, everyone else at the table was very dissatisfied with this answer.
What do you mean he suddenly got better in the morning? Who are you trying to fool? If you want to make up a reason, can you at least make one that makes sense?
After they exchanged glances, Zhou Lan picked up a piece of food for Gao Li and said, "Jian Yi is such a joker. Where's Miss Gao?"
Gao Li looked down at the carrot that suddenly appeared in the bowl, feeling angry.
——[You must be doing that on purpose. I hate carrots the most.]
——[These people are crazy, asking such direct questions. They think Jian Yi has lost his memory and that I can be fooled just because I am mute, right?]
No. 13: "Yeah, host, you didn't see it. They exchanged glances countless times. So stupid."
She raised her innocent little face and pointed to her mouth.
——［I am just a mute and cannot speak, what can you do to me?］
Zhou Lan gave another look, and the servant quickly brought paper and pen.
Gao Li smiled sweetly and wrote on the notebook.
[I don't know either. I was in a hurry this morning and didn't see him. I was just as surprised as you were, okay?]
[Isn't there a video recording? If you have any doubts, you can replay it live.]
As soon as the cardboard was revealed, Jian Zhengyuan was immediately furious.
The two men had made a plan and teamed up to fool him.
This topic stops here for now.
They were sitting at a square table, and some dishes were too far to reach.
But it didn't matter. The Jian family's dining table was like that of ancient nobles, with dedicated servants waiting by the side. If you wanted to eat something, you could just ask the servants to serve it to you. This was called serving food.
——[That steamed egg has little flowers blooming on it, it’s so pretty, and it must be delicious too.]
——[Is that a clam? Or a shrimp paste? It's delicious.]
——[Lychee shrimp balls, woo woo woo.]
——[Why, are you so far away from me?]
Gao Li's voice was extremely miserable, and No. 13 sympathized with him.
"Host, shall we ask the lady who serves the dishes to come?"
——[I've already been called a bumpkin, and I can't speak. It's so embarrassing. I don't want to be ridiculed. I'll just bear it for now. When I get rich one day, I'll definitely experience it all.]
The two of them were so miserable here that they didn't notice that Zhou Lan winked at Su Sangwan, wanting her to come forward.
Su Sangwan lowered her eyes and clenched her fists.
This was an insult to her. Everyone knew how Jian Yi felt about her, but she was already married today.
Suddenly, a big palm covered her hand. She looked up and saw her husband giving her a reassuring look.
Jian Sili looked at Zhou Lan and answered with his eyes.
Zhou Lan gritted her teeth.
"Hello."
Jian Yi smiled apologetically and asked the servant to come forward. He pointed to the dishes that were farther away and said, "Excuse me, could you please share a portion of the dishes over there?"
Soon, the servant brought him the prepared dishes.
Jian Yi didn't even put it down and pushed it directly in front of Gao Li.
Gao Li was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes lit up.
——[For me? For me?]
"Eat it, it's for you."
Jian Yi's tone was gentle.
God knows what he has been through. His ears are filled with miserable wails one after another, as if it were a crying girl coming to summon the soul. Who could bear it?
Gao Li stared at Jian Yi's face, which seemed to be shining with a sacred light at this moment.
——[Wow, I’m so moved I’m about to cry.]
——[Family members, who understands? Woo woo woo.]
Jian Yi gently stroked his temples, took a deep breath of cool air, and then smiled gently, "Eat quickly."
Eat quickly and don't get excited.
But in the eyes of others, this scene is full of love and affection.
Jian Shaoyi pouted.
Su Sangwan watched, but felt an indescribable strangeness in her heart.
In the past, Jian Yi always stood behind her, begging for her love madly and humbly.
Jian Yi pestered her so much that she once thought that unless he died, he would pester her to death.
She breathed a sigh of relief when she learned that he had been abandoned in Qingshan Villa with his broken leg.
But in less than half a year, there was no trace of her in his eyes anymore.
She had never seen him treat another woman so helplessly and tenderly.
Is it because he lost his memory and forgot everything in the past?
What if he regains his memory?
After dinner, the Jian family showed no intention of letting anyone go.
On the way to the living room, Gao Li was cursing behind me.
——［Why aren’t you allowed to go back?］
——[He, Jian Zhengyuan, wouldn't think he's the emperor and act so arrogantly.]
——［Why don’t you take a look at yourself in the mirror? You have slanted eyes, a crooked mouth, a pointed face, and are so ugly. You scumbag, you are just a piece of shit, a beast who can’t control his lower body. If you hadn’t shaken those two times, there wouldn’t be such a big deal.］
——[I’m so angry, so angry, bring me a pen, I’m going to write you to death right now!]
Jian Yi couldn't help laughing and almost laughed out loud. He immediately put his fist to his lips to cover it up.
I was stunned for a moment before I realized what those two shakes meant.
At this time, he still wanted to applaud and praise, saying that the scolding was very good.
Since her output is very pleasing to him, he should take better care of her in the Jane family.
The Jian family prepared a room for the two of them. Zhou Lan explained, "Although you haven't gotten married yet, I see that you have a good relationship. Do you mind?"
Gao Li nodded.
——[You're asking this on purpose, so shameless.]
Jian Yi said, "I don't mind."
Zhou Lan pushed Su Sangwan aside, and wanted to ask more questions indirectly with a hypocritical smile, so she found Gao Li, who was relatively easy to deceive.
Jian Yi asked for a rest on the grounds of being tired, and helped Gao Li out of his sleep on the grounds of being physically unwell.
The servant brought some clean clothes, and after washing up, Gao Li lay down on the bed with his legs spread out.
After Jian Yi washed up, she looked at the only bed and considerately folded her limbs and moved to the side.
Her pajamas were loose, and as she moved, her snow-white shoulders were exposed.
Jian Yi took a look and lowered his eyes, "Gao Li."
Gao Li turned his head and asked in doubt.
--[Um? ]
He leaned over and pulled her nightgown up.
When Gao Li thought about what had just happened in front of him, his face suddenly turned red.
However, the man's face suddenly moved closer, and the fresh fragrance of the bath filled his nose.
——［No, no, what are you going to do?］
——[Ahhhhhhhh.]
Jian Yi leaned over and whispered in her ear, "Be careful, don't do anything strange, there might be cameras."
