Qi Jun didn't say anything and was hurriedly dragged back to the villa by Qi Jing. He wanted to watch the fun. Nothing was more lively than a party with many people.
Gu Zhou followed behind and returned the two dragons to Qi Jing while changing his clothes.
He didn't know if it was because he was used to it, or if Zhe's inner elixir really worked, but he didn't feel as tired as before. In short, he could still hold on for a while.
After changing his clothes, Qi Jing sat down obediently and let Gu Zhou tie his hair. "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"I was going to tell you two days ago, but Mo Qian also sent me a message, so I thought I'd hurry back to tell you." Gu Zhou tied his braid with a rubber band, then switched to the other side and continued.
Qi Jing has long hair, which is well maintained and very smooth, so tying her hair became Gu Zhou's job.
Qi Jing hugged the small pillow with great anticipation, "Is Du Huanhuan engaged to the man in the plot?"
"I don't know, probably. I haven't paid much attention to it recently."
Qi Jing said "oh" with a lack of interest, and then asked him, "Will she get pregnant soon? Three?"
"You go and take a look, maybe you can find it." Gu Zhou really didn't know. He didn't have the time to care about these things now.
After the two of them packed up, Gu Zhou took Qi Jing there first. They went there by car. Qi Jing leaned on Gu Zhou and fell asleep the whole time without using any sleeping talisman.
The completely different customized model was very eye-catching in the traffic, attracting countless people's attention, and it still became a beautiful landscape at the hotel entrance.
The engagement party was held in a luxury hotel. When the two arrived, quite a few people had already arrived, most of whom were relatives of the two families, who came to help entertain the guests and supervise the scene.
Gu Zhou's identity was clear, and the one who received them was Du Xiuyuan, the eldest son of the Du family.
Du Xiuyuan is a few years older than Gu Zhou and they are in the same circle. They know each other but have little contact.
It was still early for the banquet, so Du Xiuyuan took them to a private room where some people were already playing mahjong and it was quite lively.
Qi Jing was pressed down on the mahjong table by Gu Zhou. He had played the game once, but he was not very good at it. The last time Gu Zhou taught him, he was too busy eating.
This time, Gu Zhou ordered some drinks and fruits, and while feeding Qi Jing, he taught him how to play mahjong and asked for some news from the rich second-generations who played with him.
The Qi family had heard that Lin Youyou had been released, but what he didn't expect was that Lin Youyou actually moved into the Du family.
Gu Zhou frowned upon hearing the news and looked up at Du Xiuyuan who was sitting opposite him. "Does your biological sister have any objection to bringing your illegitimate daughter back?"
Du Xiuyuan took out the cigarette from his mouth and said, "She's just an illegitimate daughter. Just use her as a tool for marriage."
Du Xiuyuan's tone did not show any significant reaction to this, and there was no sign of liking for Lin Youyou, perhaps even dislike.
But the more this happened, the more Gu Zhou felt something was wrong. It was impossible for the Du family to be unaware of Lin Youyou's existence for so many years. They didn't care about bringing her back before, so why did they suddenly change their minds now, especially after she went to jail? This was very wrong.
Qi Jing also felt something was wrong. He ate his apple while looking at Du Xiuyuan. He had never seen him before, but Du Xiuyuan's face looked a little strange, but he couldn't tell what was strange.
Gu Zhou had no intention of interfering in other people's affairs. He could only wait and see whether Lin Youyou would show up at the engagement party and then see what the situation was.
After a few rounds of mahjong, Gu Zhou won all the games and defeated the other two rich second-generations at the mahjong table.
Du Xiuyuan also chose to give up, "If you keep playing this game, my sister's dowry will be lost to you."
"It's not that exaggerated." Gu Zhou smiled and gave the chips to Qi Jing. They were all money, and he would take them to exchange for cash later.
Qi Jing counted, but still didn't understand the rules of mahjong, but the money was his.
Du Xiuyuan smoked a cigarette and looked at Gu Zhou. "I saw you on the live broadcast before. Can you help me?"
"how?"
Du Xiuyuan glanced at the people around him, stood up first, and took them to another lounge.
After pouring the wine, Du Xiuyuan took a big sip before saying, "There's something wrong with Lin Youyou."
"What's the problem?" Qi Jing was curious. Wasn't his tone quite calm before?
Gu Zhou also felt strange, "What's the problem?"
Du Xiuyuan opened his clothes to reveal a peace charm, which was drawn on yellow paper and folded into a triangle, and was obviously the work of Xuanmen.
Du Xiuyuan said, "This amulet was won by Huanhuan in a lottery during the live broadcast, and we each got one."
"Yes, it's something from Xuanmen, so it's authentic." Gu Zhou gave an affirmative answer, "But it only has a one-time protective effect."
Du Xiuyuan looked at him and said, "The two times I got hot were when Lin Youyou approached me and said bad things about Huanhuan."
Du Xiuyuan took off the amulet and handed it to Gu Zhou. "I feel something is wrong. I asked the Xuanmen people to deal with it, but their investigation results are all fine. They can't explain why the amulet is hot."
"If that's the case, Xuanmen should have reported it. I haven't received any information."
"That's strange, because the information we received shows that there is no problem." Du Xiuyuan stared into Gu Zhou's eyes. "I found it strange because you asked me, Lin Youyou, just now. If the people from Xuanmen really reported it, why didn't you know anything about it?"
Gu Zhou also realized this. He opened the amulet, but there was no remaining breath on it, so he didn't know what had attacked Du Xiuyuan.
Gu Zhou asked him, "Lin Youyou just said bad things about Du Huanhuan and didn't do anything else?"
"No, that's why I didn't investigate further and look for other people after Xuanmen confirmed that Lin Youyou was fine. But now there are obviously more questions." Du Xiuyuan picked up the wine glass and drank the rest. "Besides, my father is planning to disclose Lin Youyou's identity and give her the inheritance rights. Even my mother has started to get close to her, thus alienating Huanhuan."
This was a more serious problem. Qi Jing took a sip of champagne, his eyes fixed on Du Xiuyuan. "You were bewitched. You failed because of the amulet."
Bewitching?
Gu Zhou quickly thought of the system. Any other attack would leave a trace, but the system would not.
Just like how the system had bewitched Qi Shuo and Qi Mo before, they failed because of the protective jade token he gave them, it was just subconscious.
This amulet was drawn by Qi Huang and was improved by Gu Zhou. It can block more attacks, including mental ones.
Gu Zhou looked at Du Xiuyuan sympathetically, "Your family is really unlucky to have such a woman."
Du Xiuyuan frowned, "And I think something went wrong at tonight's engagement party. Zhuo Tong's attitude towards Huanhuan has been a little strange recently."
"Your brother-in-law?"
Du Xiuyuan nodded. "Zhuo Tong has always been very good to Huan Huan, which is why they're planning to get engaged. But a few days ago, I saw Zhuo Tong and Lin You You meeting alone. I don't know if I saw it wrong or if it was real, but I don't have any solid evidence. I mentioned it to Huan Huan once vaguely, but she didn't take it too seriously."
