Chapter 43
"...Huh?"
Yu Keke looked at the rectangular gift box in front of her with some surprise.
She turned her head and found that it was indeed Ji Jingye.
He was standing beside her at this time, looking down at her.
The man's tall and straight figure blocked the light from above his head and cast her in his shadow.
Yu Keke raised her eyes slightly and met those deep and cold black eyes.
At that moment, she did not see any emotion from them, but her heart moved inexplicably.
From this angle, Ji Jingye's eyes clearly reflected her own figure.
It was as if the people around him did not exist, and there was only her in his eyes.
Yu Keke couldn't help but smile, took the gift box, and blinked gently: "Is this... for me?"
Ji Jingye was just going to pick up the auction items, so there was no need to open it. She could guess that the beautiful emerald necklace must be inside.
She just didn't expect Ji Jingye to buy the necklace just to give it to her.
Ji Jingye responded lightly.
When she tried to open the gift box, he paused and said, "Gift."
Yu Keke paused, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise.
So what does this "gift" mean? Is it a response to her question before attending the banquet, "Is the sapphire necklace a return gift?", indicating that now this necklace is the gift;
or because she gave him two ties, he also has to reciprocate and give him two gifts?
...Or maybe, he just wanted to give it to her purely?
What can I do? It seems even cuter.
Thinking of this, Yu Keke did not ask him for his specific meaning.
After all, he was so frugal with words, and it was quite surprising that he was reluctant to explain now. If she continued to ask, she was afraid that he would really get angry out of embarrassment.
Yu Keke thought of something: [By the way, has Ji Jingye's blackening value dropped a little? ]
I still remember that when they first met, Ji Jingye's blackening value was already full to the point of overflowing, just like him, stubbornly refusing to drop.
Even if it really dropped, it would be stingy to only drop a little, and it looked completely no different.
So Yu Keke told the system not to tell her again unless there was an obvious change.
But it should have come down a bit now, right?
The system was also reminded and took a look, and suddenly exclaimed in surprise: [It fell, it fell, and now it is already eighty. When did it fall, and I didn’t even notice it? ]
She said, no wonder it is getting more and more lovely now.
Yu Keke couldn't help but reveal an expression of understanding.
She opened the gift box, and sure enough, the necklace was lying inside.
Looking closely, the emerald was even more dazzling, and it seemed to absorb all the light around it, flashing rich and mysterious colors as it flowed.
It is really beautiful to the extreme.
Yu Keke admired the gem up close.
Half an hour ago, she was still sitting below, admiring the beautiful necklace in the auctioneer's hand. And now, this top-selling item has become hers.
This feeling is really amazing.
She savored it carefully in her heart, and couldn't help but sigh sincerely: [...It's great to have money.]
[? Is this the main point?] After the system questioned, it couldn't help but sigh in the same way, [But the villain's black value has dropped so much, rounding it up, we have saved the world.]
Yu Keke: [? Isn't the range of your rounding up a bit exaggerated.]
[Just think about how you did the mission at the beginning. And the villain's black value always increases instead of decreasing. To be honest, I was prepared for the mission to fail.] The system sighed, [Who knew there would be a sudden turn of events, the villain is really working hard.]
Yu Keke: [? 】
She was originally going to question with dissatisfaction, why wasn't it her own efforts, but after carefully recalling the interactions between the two of them.
There was actually a subtle sense of approval.
Yu Keke: "..."
She was silent suspiciously, then raised her eyes and looked at Ji Jingye as if nothing had happened, her eyes sparkling: "Thank you, Ji Jingye, whether it's sapphire or this, they're both so beautiful, I really like them very much!" Ji
Jingye: "...Yeah."
He was in a subtle mood because of the system's words "he works so hard". He
felt that something was indeed wrong with him recently.
However, before he could think about it, he met her smiling eyes, which were sparkling and almost full of "like".
Looking at her happy expression, Ji Jingye paused, responded lightly, and then withdrew his gaze expressionlessly.
The brows that were wrinkled just now, unconsciously relaxed.
One of them gave the gift naturally, and the other received it with confidence, as if no one thought there was anything wrong.
However, Uncle Yu and others who were still standing by and were obviously ignored, could not help but gasp after seeing this scene.
Not to mention how valuable emeralds are, it is a collection designed by Master Leon.
Even if they had no idea about the Muzo Emerald from Columbia, just listening to the auctioneer's introduction as the top item and seeing the sky-high price that Master Ji paid for it at that time, was enough for them to recognize the value of this necklace.
And now, this necklace, which no matter who owns it, must be carefully kept, was just given to Yu Keke by Master Ji.
Not to mention that Yu Keke just said that the set of sapphire jewelry she wore today was also given by him.
The Yu family was deeply shocked. He
is really worthy of being Master Ji. He is so generous for just a gift. His spending is extraordinary!
Especially Uncle Yu's eyes became more eager.
He still remembered that Ji Jingye basically did not make any movement at the auction, and the only necklace he bought was also given to Yu Keke.
This was enough to prove the status of his niece in Ji Jingye's heart.
Then, taking it a step further, couldn't they just get married right there? !
Just thinking about it, Second Uncle Yu couldn't help but feel like he was injected with chicken blood, and he just wanted to go back now to help Ji Jingye pull down that damn illegitimate child.
By then, this would be the glory of the Yu family! !
Second Aunt Yu and Yu Ran were also jealous and sour at this time.
Second Aunt Yu was not used to seeing Yu Keke being valued by Young Master Ji, but she had to rely on her current increasingly high status.
After seeing the necklace, Yu Ran's expression was distorted simply because of jealousy and indignation.
But thinking about how Ji Jingye just passed by her, even though he treated her like air, his dark eyes were calm and indifferent without any emotion. She could still feel that invisible pressure, and couldn't help shivering, even breathing became difficult.
Yu Ran hurriedly put away her messy thoughts.
Thinking about what her mother said at the beginning, that she would find her a better marriage partner than Ji Jingye in the future.
It's just a dream, right?
In her opinion, it would be better to find someone like Song Quan, who she can control at will.
If Yu Keke hadn't intercepted her halfway -
Yu Ran couldn't help clenching her teeth again, until she heard a slight "click".
She couldn't help but say in her heart: Damn, no way? !
System: [Hahaha look, Yu Ran actually hated you so much that she bit off a small piece of her back teeth!]
Yu Keke:?
She didn’t have time to admire the necklace anymore and quickly turned her head to look at Yu Ran.
Sure enough, her expression was stiff at this time. She wanted to raise her hand, but it seemed that Aunt Yu misunderstood what she wanted to do and held her tightly to prevent her from moving.
So now she looked desperate, as if she wanted to die.
Yu Keke really couldn’t help laughing out loud: [Hahahaha, is there really someone who can bite off a tooth? I thought it was just an adjective!]
[Not really, her teeth were not very good to begin with.] The system was kind enough to help explain, [She was depressed because she was confined at home some time ago, so she turned her grief into appetite and ate a lot, and her teeth became a little loose. 】
That is to say, it is an unexpected event with a low probability.
Yu Keke pointed and said: [This means that we still have to protect our teeth well, and don’t play with our teeth for no reason. 】
Ji Jingye: “…”
Listening to her wanton laughter in his mind, he was silent for a while with an indifferent face, and turned his eyes away without making a sound.
It seemed that he wanted to know how she could laugh so happily at such a boring thing.
So when Yu Ran finally got rid of Aunt Yu’s restraint, wanted to cover that side of her face, and tried to spit out the broken tooth quietly.
But suddenly she met Yu Keke’s interested eyes.
Yu Ran: “…”
It felt like her little movements had been discovered by her, which made her scalp numb.
What was even more terrifying was that Ji Jingye beside her also cast a scrutinizing gaze at her.
Those two emotionless, cold and sharp black eyes brought great pressure to people.
Yu Ran's throat suddenly choked and she was frightened.
And the tooth that was about to be spit out was accidentally swallowed.
Yu Ran: “……?”
——Ahhhh!!!
Just as Yu Ran’s expression was twisted in pain, the black car that came to pick them up finally drove slowly.
Yu Keke, who heard the system report, suddenly took Ji Jingye’s arm and lowered her head to suppress a smile.
Hahahaha, she swallowed it, she actually swallowed it!
What a social death scene, it turns out that the Yu family is her source of happiness hahaha!!
Ji Jingye: “…”
He was originally looking at Yu Ran with a frown, still not understanding what was so funny.
Then he was caught off guard by her approaching him, and his arm muscles subconsciously tensed slightly.
He lowered his eyes and watched her using this action to hide her overly arrogant smile.
If he hadn’t noticed that she was trying so hard to hold back her smile that her shoulders were shaking slightly, Ji Jingye would have suspected that she was deliberately taking this opportunity to touch him.
After all, she had expressed this intention more than once before.
But listening to the cheerful and lively laughter in his mind, it seemed as if the atmosphere around him was rendered relaxed and cheerful.
Ji Jingye paused, and still seemed to restrain his emotions indifferently, and his body unconsciously relaxed slowly.
Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that the Yu family seemed to have some doubtful expressions, but Yu Keke did not hold back at all.
His eyebrows twitched, but he quietly turned his body slightly to cover this too obvious movement for her.
Ji Jingye: "Get in the car."
He did not notice at all that he had inadvertently fulfilled his previous wish.
Yu Keke finally laughed enough with the system, and could not help but quietly wiped the corners of her eyes that were about to burst into tears. After hearing his cold reminder, she raised her head and responded briskly: "I know."
Then she cleared her throat, but did not let go of his arm. Instead, she maintained her current posture and turned her head naturally.
Yu Keke's eyes passed over Yu Ran inadvertently, and she said goodbye to the Yu family with a smile: "Uncle and aunt, Ranran. Ji Jingye and I will leave first, see you next time."
She noticed that there was still moisture in the corners of her eyes, obviously from laughing.
Yu Ran couldn't help but scream in her heart with helplessness and fury: She knows, she really knows! How can Yu Keke know everything? !
As for Second Uncle Yu, he didn't mind at all that Ji Jingye had ignored them since he came here. After all,
Young Master Ji was in such a high position. To put it bluntly, he didn't even bother to give face to Old Master Ji, let alone them?
For Second Uncle Yu, as long as he cares about Yu Keke, it's enough.
So when he saw the close relationship between the two, his eyes became even more eager. He subconsciously took a few steps forward and opened the door for them.
He froze until he realized what he had done. He
twisted his neck a little stiffly, and met the somewhat surprised eyes of the driver in front of him. It was as if he was puzzled as to why he stole his job.
Did they meet someone in the same industry? But it didn't look like it.
Second Uncle Yu: "..."
Seeing that the driver thanked him politely after a moment of confusion,
he immediately tensed up and felt hot on his face.
After an awkward silence, Second Uncle Yu tried his best to maintain his dignity, and said in a solemn voice with a dignified expression: "You too, Keke. I know that you and your wife have a close relationship, but you can't be so reckless in front of outsiders. All right, get in the car now."
Yu Ran: "..."
Second Aunt Yu: "..."
Yu Keke almost couldn't help laughing.
She blinked lightly and said sincerely: "Okay, Second Uncle you are really thoughtful, then thank you for opening the door for me. Although the driver is Ji Jingye's man, it's really nothing."
The driver also nodded in agreement.
Second Uncle Yu tried his best to forget what he had just done: "..."
He gripped the handle of the car tightly, and the veins on his forehead jumped: This damn girl, she is really talking nonsense!
However, in front of Ji Jingye, he did not dare to show off his power as an elder.
He could only look at Yu Keke's particularly sincere expression and said reluctantly with a fake smile: "It's okay, who asked Second Uncle to love you."
Second Aunt Yu, seeing that Ji Jingye had already got on the car, finally remembered the main purpose of coming to Yu Keke this time.
So she hurriedly stepped forward a few steps and squeezed the troublesome Yu Er away.
Second Uncle Yu: “…?”
Ignoring his incredulous expression, Second Aunt Yu pretended to lift the hem of Yu Keke’s skirt and whispered in her ear earnestly: “Grandpa Ji’s birthday is coming soon, and Young Master Ji will definitely take you back to the Ji family. We have already prepared a gift for you in advance for Grandpa Ji, so remember to go home and bring the gift with you, and don’t make any mistakes.”
Yu Keke paused as she was about to get in the car, and thinking of the truly magical Ji family, she couldn’t help but become interested: [Hey, when is that?]
She checked the system: [In half a month.]
That’s going to be soon.
She immediately perked up, and then tilted her head slightly, and responded very sincerely: “Okay.”
… Did she really understand?
Thinking of Yu Keke's incompatibility during this period, Aunt Yu paused, but still worriedly instructed: "If there is anything you don't understand, remember to ask me in advance, understand?"
So Yu Keke replied sincerely: "Okay, understand."
She sat comfortably in the car with the help of Aunt Yu, and couldn't help but sigh: The Yu family is really a good helper.
No matter what, they have already thought about it for her and put it into action, so she doesn't need to worry about it at all.
It's really good.
————
Grandpa Ji's birthday banquet was just half a month later. Yu Keke was looking forward to the Ji family, but she didn't even lie at home for a few days, but she got a job first.
Although the agent knew that Yu Keke had moved, he didn't expect that she actually moved to the Yunyu Community.
After confirming for a long time that the address was really here, the agent could not help but bring the assistant An Cheng, who was in a daze and was received by the life assistant Xiao Ye who had been waiting at the door early, with a smile on her face.
Even after getting on the elevator, Sister Zhang still felt a little like she was dreaming.
This is the Yunyu community where the rich are trying their best to live!
Their own artists actually live here?
She suddenly understood why Yu Keke didn't work hard.
As soon as she was brought in by Xiao Ye, before she found Yu Keke, she was so surprised by the luxurious large flat that she almost sprained her waist.
Sister Zhang: "..."
The assistant: "..."
Although she has accepted the fact that her own artist is actually quite rich, it seems that Yu Keke is still underestimated.
Thinking of this, the agent couldn't help but look around the living room in shock.
Especially on the eye-catching panoramic French window, he stayed for a while.
"Because Miss Yu is still packing up, you may need to wait a while." At this time, Xiao Ye suddenly handed over two cups of tea, and said with an apologetic smile, "Please have some refreshments first."
Hearing her voice, Sister Zhang suddenly realized.
Thinking that her own artist is now the fiancée of Mr. Ji, it is not surprising to live here.
She quickly calmed down and sat on the sofa pretending to be calm: "Okay, then trouble you."
"It's nothing, it's what I should do."
Xiao Ye just replied with a smile, and suddenly felt a strong gaze.
She looked up in confusion, and saw the little assistant who was tense and seemed a little nervous.
Xiao Ye: “......?”
As if she remembered something, she couldn't help but reveal a dazed look, and looked over carefully again.
When the two looked at each other, they were stunned, as if sparks were rising in their eyes.
Xiao Ye: Is this the assistant who accompanied Miss Yu before? It seems that he is very much in line with Miss Yu's preferences.
Assistant An Cheng: How come Sister Keke suddenly has another assistant! And he looks so professional, she won't be left behind, right? ?
Maybe they felt a sense of urgency from each other.
So when Yu Keke just came over and greeted them slowly, they saw the two of them stand up almost at the same time, and then walked forward diligently.
"Miss Yu, please have a seat, the refreshments are ready."
"Sister Keke, sit here, be careful, I'll help you."
Yu Keke paused: "......?"
This seems to be her own home, is there any need to be so polite?
However, seeing that the two had already come to greet her, she didn't care, just nodded, and was helped to sit down by the assistant with peace of mind.
Then she took the cup brought by Xiaoye, took a sip, and thanked with a smile: "Thank you for your help, it's so thoughtful."
The two of them smiled immediately and looked at each other calmly.
They could see the provocation in each other's eyes.
... Damn!
The agent didn't notice the eye dispute between the two. After seeing Yu Keke sitting down, he went straight to the point: "I came here this time to ask if you want to participate in "Friends Are Coming."
Sister Zhang came here specially, just for this?
Yu Keke asked in confusion, "Is there anything special about this variety show?"
The agent nodded and gave her a brief introduction.
"Friends Are Coming" is a variety show about celebrity socializing.
The five invited guests need to bring a friend to a bonfire party in the quiet wilderness.
"Forget about what you said you were not interested in before. I think you should consider this." The agent said, "But you are not among the guests invited by the program team this time."
Yu Keke: "......?"
She quickly reacted: "Who wants to bring me to the program?"
"Yes, it was Yin Jingya who wanted to invite you to participate in the program as her friend." Sister Zhang looked at her strangely, "But she didn't have your contact information, so she asked her team to find me."
It turned out to be her?
Yu Keke was a little surprised.
Yin Jingya was the victim of Henghe's cheating incident.
After Yu Keke's reminder, although she was furious, she was also very sober to find Henghe's wife Fang Fei.
In the end, the two teamed up to kill Henghe.
As for Yu Keke, apart from that one-sided gossip-eating, she and Yu Keke had only met in the crew before, and they had no social interaction since then.
Why would Yin Jingya invite her now, and be on the show as a friend?
The system went around, and even though it was confirmed that Yin Jingya really wanted to invite the host and had no bad intentions, it didn't understand her train of thought.
I couldn't help but guess: [Maybe she wants to thank you and promote you, or maybe she really regards you as a friend?]
Yu Keke thought about it and felt that it was really possible.
After all, in her impression, although Yin Jingya looked gorgeous and arrogant on the surface, her methods were actually very clumsy.
After she reminded him, she knew that Henghe was secretly married, but she still took a lot of detours.
Until she almost forgot about it, Yin Jingya finally found out that Henghe's wife was his agent.
So based on her way of doing things, maybe she really racked her brains for a long time. In the end, I don't know how she suddenly hit her head and came up with this way to contact her?
When she thought about it, Yin Jingya's bright but always unhappy face emerged in her mind.
Yu Keke couldn't help laughing out loud.
System: [But I suggest you go. The guests invited by this program group are quite interesting.]
She was originally interested in this bonfire party, and she became even more excited when she heard this: [What, there are gossips to eat?]
The system gave a positive answer: [In addition, Lu Chong and Chu Xue will also participate. 】
Author's words:
Make a note in advance: the variety show starting from the next chapter will involve yuri melon.
It will be described but not counted as a secondary CP. There will be no sequel after the variety show ends. If you are not interested, you can wait until the variety show ends and skip it.
It will be written in the chapter summary at that time. 噠=3=
In addition, congratulations to Mr. Ji for finally reducing his black value to 80!
Congratulations, congratulations
