Chapter 11 (1)
It was not a book that was popular among the masses, the style of writing was strange, and Gu Xueyi would read such book? Chen Yujin suppressed the astonishment in his heart.
"Thanks, I've eaten."
Chen Yujin looked at the fruits Gu Xueyi pushed towards him and said his refusal. Madam Yan had a lot of tricks up her sleeves and he was really afraid of being accidentally involved.
At the same time, Chen Yujin had already prepared on how to deal with Gu Xueyi's outburst.
Gu Xueyi nodded her head, without slightest change of emotion on her face.
She also took her time eating as she asked Chen Yujin while eating elegantly.
"Secretary Chen is here for the matter of Mr. Jian's visit, is there something you want to instruct to me?"
Chen Yujin still has a smile on his face, his eyebrows were especially gentle to look making it easy for the people to accept the words that come out of his mouth.
"I hope madam will please not say anything when the time comes."
But the words coming out of Chen Yujin's mouth as this moment were not gentle and even seemed unforgiving to the point of coldness.
Gu Xueyi paused, her eyes shifted slightly upwards as she pondered.
In this world, she was new to everything and has a lot to learn. Chen Yujin was more professional than her, if Chen Yujin comes forward of course it would be good not to talk so as to avoid saying the wrong thing causing unnecessary trouble.
"Okay."
Gu Xueyi answered.
This was Chen Yujin's turn to pause.
She was this amicable to talk?
Chen Yujin quickly gathered his emotions and smiled.
"Okay."
At that moment, a sound of footsteps arrived downstairs.
The maid went up to the second floor with a complicated look as she came forward to Gu Xueyi.
"Madam, Ms. Jian Rui has arrived and…. Also Mr. and Mrs. Gu."
Gu Xueyi frowned.
Did she let Gu Xuemin and his wife in?
They could have followed the lady name Jian Rui when she came in.
Thinking of this, Gu Xueyi couldn't help but turn her head and look at Chen Yujin.
Chen Yujin was a little puzzled by her look, and slowly blinked, while he slightly tilted his head showing a little inquiring look.
Gu Xueyi's evaluation of this Chen Yujin, the secretary was raised to another level.
He was very clever. When he came in, he still kept Gu Xuemin out of the gate not afraid of offending him. His gentle smile seems friendly but hidden underneath was an unyielding character.
Gu Xueyi likes smart people.
"Now that they we're in, let's invite them downstairs for tea."
Gu Xueyi said, she then turn to ask Chen Yujin.
"How is Jian Rui related to Jian Chagming?"
Chen Yujin was silent.
Does she really not know?
It shouldn't be, especially since the Gu family is good at currying favor so it is impossible that they don't know about the Jian family for a long time.
"She is Mr. Jian's niece."
Gu Xueyi nodded her head, and just sat there steadily not moving.
Chen Yujin thought she was ready to get up and welcome her, but now that he saw her posture he was surprise once again.
The Gu family was good at currying favor, always showing their pandering enthusiasm at untimely time. They tend to always forget that they already have a relationship with the Yan family and that means they were also part of the Yan family's face. Fortunately Yan Chao didn't care much about these things at all.
But no one knows better than Chen Yujin about matter of Gu Xueyi.
Early in the morning, she already learned directly from Yan Wenjia's mouth that Jian Changming was a close friend of Yan Chao which mean they were in the same generation. Jian Rui on the other hand was Changming's niece so she was in the junior generation, no matter what it was, it was not her turn to get up and warmly welcome her.
Normally it should be fine welcoming a guest but since the Yan family's head was not around, and she was the wife of the head, how could she smear the prestige of the family and show short on her position first?
Downstairs.
The maid asked Gu Xuemin and his wife to have some tea.
Gu Xueming was still a little disappointed, he wanted to meet Jian Changming first who know what that girl has been spouting without his supervision. But there was no need to mention talking to her, he couldn't even get into the Yang's house.
Fortunately, Jian Rui with her good manners let them inside together with her.
So right now, Gu Xueming refused to do anything much less having tea.
"Is Xueyi upstairs? I'll go meet her."
The maid was quiet, what could she say to him?
'Sorry Madam doesn't want to see you.?'
The maid was momentarily speechless.
Jian Rui waited for a while, but did not wait long enough for the people downstairs to come down. She also understand how things works, they were obviously waiting for them to go up themselves.
Jian Rui glance at Gu Xueming.
Madam Gu who was following them, nodded in agreement and said.
"Yes, let's go upstairs and see Xueyi. She must be in lot of fear lately."
Hearing Madam Gu said this, the maid recalled what Gu Xueyi looked like.
In her opinion, it doesn't seem to be that case…
Jian Rui stopped staring at the husband and wife, and just went straight upstairs.
The Gu family is indeed a troublesome relative.
How could a man like Mr. Yan who was a magnificent man marry such a wife?
Seeing Jian Rui going upstairs, Gu Xuemin also no longer wait for his daughter to come downstairs and directly went up. The maid downstairs couldn't stop them, so she could only watch as people went up.
"Madam Yan."
Jian Rui walked up the last step and turned on a corner to arrive at the drawing room.
Before coming, her mind already combined and roughly outlined Gu Xueyi's appearance with the help of the past magazines, but when she actually saw the person Jian Rui froze.
The young woman leaning on the sofa, raised her eyebrow as she look at her after hearing her call. With that eyebrow alone she looked like a painting of an elegant and outstanding young noble lady.
"Please sit down."
Gu Xueyi moved her lips.
"Coffee or tea?"
Jian Rui instinctively replied.
"Coffee please."
After answering, she slowly walked to the sofa and sat down. The bottom of her heart still has a lingering shock that even her hands and feet were inexplicably feeling numb.
She was just… overwhelmed by Gu Xueyi's aura?
Jian Rui slowly come back to her senses and only then did she notice that there was another person next to the sofa. She immediately greeted him.
"So, Mr. Chen is also here, what a coincidence. My uncle just went to the Yan's company and said he was waiting for Mr. Chen there."
Chen Yujin was a capable right-hand man of Yan Chao, many people in the circle showed their respect to him by calling him "General Chen" and only few people called him 'Secretary Chen.'
"….It's not really a coincidence."
Chen Yujin responded.
He was already here and it was not good to get up and leave immediately. He could not give Gu Xueyi face but not in front of outsiders, otherwise it was the face of the Yan family that would be tarnished.
Seeing Chen Yujin sitting there steadily, without any intention of walking out Jian Rui's was a bit puzzled.
This doesn't look right.
Gu Xueyi who was observing the whole action thinks that she was not stupid and does not need Chen Yujin always guarding her.
After the conversation died down, Jian Rui wanted to say something.
She was not the type of person who was not good at socializing within her circle but when she was in front of Gu Xueyi she suddenly didn't know what to say instead.
"Madam Yan looks good."
Jian Rui said.
After saying this, Jian Rui realized that it sounded a bit like she was taunting her.
Gu Xueyi nodded.
"En, since I slept well and eat well."
Hearing these words, the corner of Chen Yujin's mouth twitched.
Jian Rui was also stunned.
Doesn't Gu Xueyi care about Mr. Yan?
"Especially this strawberry, it taste good."
Gu Xueyi, added and pushed the plate that has strawberries.
"Want to try?"
This was the plate that she failed to sell to Chen Yujin.
Still quite friendly?
Jian Rui froze before she took the plate.
"Thank you, I'll try it."
Chen Yujin looked at the peaceful atmosphere and could not help but raised his eyebrow.
At this time, Gu Xueyi turned her head to look at him.
"Secretary Chen you go out first."
It was great that Gu Xueyi took the initiative to ask him to leave first.
Chen Yujin smiled and stood up.
"Good, then I will not accompany you."
But Gu Xueyi also slowly stood up with her graceful figure.
And said.
"I'll go too."
Chen Yujin: "?"
Chapter 11(2)
In that instant, he almost thought he had heard it wrong.
Jian Rui hurriedly put down the fruit and stood up after her.
"Madam Yan is also going? No need. Let's stay here and talk, I still have a lot of things I want to say to Madam Yan."
If she let Gu Xueyi disturb his meeting with Chen Yujin won't her uncle be angry with her?
"Xueyi."
Gu Xuemin's voice sounded to the drawing room.
Jian Rui suddenly cried out for a headache.
How did the situation become so chaotic?
"Xueyi."
The original owner's mother, Zhang Xin walked in front but when she got closer and saw Gu Xueyi's appearance Zhang Xin choked. It took her a few seconds to let out some words.
"…Are you doing okay lately?"
"I'm fine."
Gu Xueyi lifted her eyelids and saw her parents, unlike how she welcome Jian Rui, she looked at them with a cold and subdued atmosphere.
She paused and said.
"The younger brother of Yan Chao are very considerate."
Yan Wenjia who had just walked near the drawing room halt in his steps when he heard this.
Did he mishear? Or did Gu Xueyi say it wrong?
In the drawing room.
The corners of Chen Yujin's mouth twitched again.
Even Zhang Xin could not continue the conversation.
Who doesn't know that Gu Xueyi and the Yang's don't have a good relationships? So, how could they suddenly get into a 'considerate' relationship?
But it was a good to look at the big picture.
Chen Yujin thought.
Much better than before… no to be precise, they don't grow much like the same person anymore.
"It's getting late, and it's not good to keep Mr. Jian waiting."
Gu Xueyi said, not sharing any more extra glances to Mr. and Mrs. Gu Xuemin, and just turned her head to look at Chen Yujin.
"Let's go first."
Gu Xueyi then said as she looked towards the door.
"Wenjia."
No one has even called Yan Wenjia like that.
In the entertainment industry they called him 'Yuan Ge'1, while Yan Chao calls him with his full name and his father calls him second child. In short, this was the first time he was called this.
The relationship between the two people seems to be suddenly drawn closer. It was obviously calling his name but after excluding the surname, it become inexplicably intimate.
Yan Wenjia clenched his fingers and did not respond.
"Ms. Jian has had a long journey, why don't you rest here first? Secretary Chen and I will go meet Mr. Jian so Wenjia will be the one to entertain you."
Gu Xueyi lightly said—they really couldn't see any fault at her etiquette.
Jiang Rui did not expect that Gu Xueyi would be able to arrange the situation so soon.
What else could she say?
Chen Yujin also didn't say anything.
Who told her to let Gu Xuemin and his wife in? From the looks of it, Gu Xueyi doesn't seem to really want to see them. And when Chen Yujin arrived earlier, he didn't let anyone in, it shows that Chen Yujin does not welcome them either.
On the other hand even Yan Wenjia didn't expect to be set up like this.
It was never his turn to worry about the Yan family, nor was he willing to worry about it. But now… Yan Wenjia purse his lower lip and walked to the drawing room.
When Jian Rui heard footsteps, she turned her head to look.
Jian Rui's family has a lot dealing with the Yan family so of course she knows that Yan Wenjia was in the entertainment circle and was the second child of the Yan family.
Just seeing Yan Wenjia again, she couldn't help but marvel.
The Yan family's genes were just too superior.
"Second young master."
Jian Rui greeted.
The Gu couple on the other hand froze for a second before they could also said hello.
Gu Xueyi nodded her head slightly and said.
"Well, we'll go first."
Chen Yujin had to go downstairs with Gu Xueyi and get into the car. Gu Xueyi was the legal spouse of Mr. Yan, to put it bluntly when Mr. Yan dies she has the right to inherit so of course she could ask about the affairs of Mr. Yan.
On the second thought, Jian Changming was supposed to come directly to the Yan family so going there with Gu Xeuyi was not a bad after all.
Gu Xuemin would like to follow but also know that Chen Yujin would not relent, so why bother discuss it in front of Jian Rui?
He and Zhang Xin looked at each other and were more shocked by Gu Xueyi's changes.
"When was she able to get the support of the second son of the Yang's?"
The two exchanged quick glances under their eyes.
In fact, if they were more attentive they would have found that all the servants in the Yan family had become subliminally obedient to Gu Xueyi's commands.
On the other end, in the car.
Chen Yujin looked back at Gu Xueyi, who surprisingly took the book with her.
She wasted no time at all, at this time she was looking through the book Human Chair with her head down.
If not for the people around her, it was never clear what her hobbies were.
Chen Yujin was close to think that Gu Xueyi was deliberately pretending to be out to win his goodwill.
Chen Yujin closed his eyes.
Also it's strange enough that Yan Wenjia would listen to her.
Yan Wenjia this person, to put it bluntly was a mongrel. He give face to no one, even the sky and the earth—he would do anything he wish. Even the Yan family could not contain him.
Chen Yujin suddenly opened his mouth.
"Some time ago, the young master and Jiang Jin of the Jiang family fought and was brought to the police station?"
"Yes."
"Mr. Jiang also came to the mansion?"
"Yes."
Gu Xueyi slowly lifted her head and flipped the page with one hand.
Chen Yujin's eyelids twitched and looked down to see her movement, but found her movements to be gentle as she flipped through the page.
Chen Yujin moved his gaze away and then heard Gu Xueyi asked rhetorically.
"Did Jiang Er went to find you and complained?"
Chen Yujin lost the smile on his face.
"Mr. Jiang want to save his face, so even if he wants to complain it will be directed to President Yan and not me."
Gu Xueyi nodded.
"En, isn't that enough?"
"I don't meant to question you, I'm just a little curious, how did you handle it?"
Gu Xueyi frowned.
She raised her hand and got close to Chen Yujin's face.
Chen Yujin was caught off guard, his heart instantly missed a beat and had a hard time breathing.
But Gu Xueyi's hand withdrew before it could touch him.
She raised her eyebrow and coldly asked.
"Were you afraid?"
Chen Yujin's heart beat was like a thunder and was unable to answer.
"That's how it was handled."
After that, she went look down at her book, as if that action was really not worth mentioning.
Chen Yujin however was in a state of confusion.
He had so many questions, and now not only he failed to understand everything clearly he had more doubt as to why Gu Xueyi change so much.
How did she handle it?
She touched Jiang Er's face?
She remove her heavy makeup, then change her angry, unruly and arrogant attitude—so the Gu Xueyi now was beautiful, she was indeed very beautiful that it could be said to set the majority of people's aesthetics.
There were only very few people who could resist such beauty.
But this matter…
Chen Yujin frowned more tightly.
Fuck, this is a big fucking affair.
Isn't this making the Yan wear green?

Chapter 12
The last time the original owner went to Yan's company, she sat directly at the bench chair. Without Yan Chao speaking no one pays attention to her at all, finally the original owner left in rage and kicked the door on the way out.
And right now, Chen Yujin got of the car and entered the building followed by her, the receptionist was momentarily baffled and suddenly did not know how to address her.
Chen Yujin glance at her.
Gu Xueyi herself came less and more likely they did not recognize her.
So Chen Yujin whispered.
"This is Madam Yan."
The receptionist came to a realization and hastily called out.
"Madam Yan."
Gu Xueyi nodded slightly and entered the elevator together with Chen Yujin.
The elevator door closes and their figure quickly disappear from the lobby while the receptionist was not yet able to return to her senses.
It…it was the same person? She isn't Miss Gu, is she?
Jian Changming was sitting in the small conference room on the tenth floor.
From the tenth floor up involved more secret so no matter how many people in Yan's family know that Jian Changming was a good friend of Yan Chao they still did not invited him upstairs.
At this time, another secretary of Yan Chao was also sitting in the small conference room and was accompanying him for a small chat.
"Mr. Chen is already downstairs."
The secretary turned back around and said with a smile.
Jian Changming nodded.
As soon as he finished nodding, they heard the sound of footsteps in the corridor outside the door and then followed by clamored of human voices.
Immediately after, the door was pushed open.
"Mr. Jian."
Chen Yujin's voice rang out first.
Followed closely by Gu Xueyi faintly saying.
"Mr. Jian."
As the words fell, she raised her eyes and scowled at the man inside the conference room.
Every part of this building makes Gu Xueyi couldn't help but marvel.
The 'technology' of this era was really remarkable compared with the western style decoration at the Yan's mansion that makes her feel 'cheap', everything here makes her respect from inside and out.
In contrast, the man sitting on the sofa was not so eye-catching.
The man wore a gray suit from this era, a pair of rimmed old-school glasses and a fountain pen pinned at his breast pocket. His figure was tall, he was sitting upright, his features were the definition of elegance and handsomeness, and his age should around thirty five or thirty six.
Not much bigger than Jian Rui.
But he should has a higher seniority.
"Mr. Chen."
At the end, Jian Changming slowly stood up and extended his hand to shake hands with Chen Yujin before parting his gaze a bit for Gu Xueyi.
"Who is this?"
"Gu Xueyi."
Gu Xueyi directly reported herself.
Jian Changming was surprised for a moment.
But it was just for a moment.
After all, what in the world has he not seen yet, he quickly returned to business as usual.
"Where is that niece of mine?"
Jian Changming asked.
"Yan Wenjia is receiving Ms. Jian."
Jian Changming nodded and did not asked anymore questions.
All three quickly settled around the small round table and the secretary earlier brought over a coffee and tea before closing the door to the small conference room.
There as immediate silence after the door was closed.
Jian Changming glanced at Chen Yujin, who looked pale and did not make any other moves. The former immediately understood that Gu Xueyi could stay here.
Since this was the case, Jian Changming also would not delay. He directly opened his mouth.
"Jian's family has gone to Niger, that area has perennial terrorism and terrorist. The group …. Organizational activities did not able to find Yan Chao, only little clue was found and it's likely that Mr. Yan has gone to Mali."
"Thank you for your hard work Mr. Jian."
After hearing these words, Chen Yujin's expression didn't change much.
"It was supposes to be what I should have done."
When Jian Changming said this, he suddenly looked in Gu Xueyi's direction, his gaze were cold and unhurried.
"I'm the one who owes it to Mr. Yan."
Jian Changming said.
Gu Xueyi: "?"
What else does she have to do with this?
When Chen Yujin heard such words he did not show any doubt or curiosity, he always uphold the professionalism of a secretary.
"The search and rescue teams and mercenaries raised by the Yan family are also continuing their search within Africa. With Yan Chao's ability, he should be definitely be safe and sound. The rest we can do is to keep the situation at home."
Chen Yujin said without haste.
Search and rescue teams, mercenaries.. These people raised by the Yan family itself, presumably equivalent to the private soldiers like the ancient time?
It looked like the business of the Yan family was even bigger than she had imagined.
The choice to be a quiet listener now was really the right one.
Jian Changming asked rhetorically.
"You mean the stock price of Yan Chao?"
Jian Changming smiled shallowly.
"Yan's foundation is strong, and the decline is only temporary. Soon they will react that even if the Yan Chao the president is abroad, the Yan Family can still maintain the normal operation. At that time the stock price will go up. Secretary Chen should be very experience in dealing with these matters, I've heard about it in Haishi and some of those who are trying to make a hostile acquisition are all suppressed."
Stock price.
Stock market.
Gu Xueyi silently digested these new words again.
Chen Yujin said indifferently.
"The stock price of the Yan would not be turbulent, and the stock market will be even less turbulent. Naturally there is nothing to worry about."
"You said Baoxin?"
Jian Changming seemed to have some interest at this point.
Chen Yujin nodded.
"A mess."
Jian Changming said after a pause.
"This matter has to be handled cleanly. I'm afraid Mr. Chen will be inappropriate."
Baoxin.
That should be the name of the company.
Gu Xueyi said silently in her mind.
Is it a subsidiary of Yan?
The concept of 'subsidiary' was something she had just read about in a book.
Jian Changming followed and opened his mouth.
"I can only play a very small role in this mess, the best way is to share out his risk…."
Chen Yujin nodded lightly.
"Baoxin's loss is not a significant amount for the Yan's. But the hidden risk it poses is huge, it is best to have other equally large business to share the risk."
"Then it would have to be the …. Jiang family? The Song family?"
Jian Changming named several families in one breath.
The looked as usual and talked openly not minding Gu Xueyi was listening to them, probably because they felt that even if Gu Xueyi heard she would not understand.
"The roots of the Yan family are still overseas after all."
Only then did a bit of helplessness appear on Chen Yujin's face.
Jian Changming nodded and commented.
"This is not the right time to introduce overseas companies, but the Jiang family's Jiang Er, the Song family's Song Jing…. Seemed to be very difficult to deal with."
It's more than just dealing with it.
If Jiang Er is really wearing Yan Chao a green hat it's too damn hard to deal with!
Chen Yujin thought and couldn't help but turn his head to look at Gu Xueyi.
Chapter 12(2)
But when he saw Madam Yan looking calm with her head slightly lowered not knowing what she was thinking and not talking or rather interrupting their conversation makes her appearance quite beautiful and moving.
"So what Mr. Chen means is?"
Jian Changming spoke up.
"Please we are asking Mr. Jian to mediate from it and delay the time for a while…. at least until the return of President Yan Chao."
Jian Changming took another look at Gu Xueyi at this time.
"I will try my best."
Listening to the end of the conversation Gu Xueyi has briefly deduced that there was some kind of trouble in between that they were facing now.
She did a little homework in advance for this man called 'Jian Changming' though there was very little information about him on the internet. But still Gu Xueyi was able to catch some few key words, the Jian family has a certain relationship with the political arena of China.
China's political arena was also equivalent to the past officialdom.
In short, Jian's family has a bit relationship with the official's family.
Chen Yujin mentioned that the loss brought by 'Baoxin' were not worth mentioning for the Yan's but there were greater hidden risk which could not even be shared by the overseas enterprises.
In other words, the loss of 'Baoxin' must have something to do with the government's relationship.
That's why Chen Yujin mentioned that Jian Family should be allowed to mediate between them.
Because that's when the Jian family had a big role at this time.
And according to Chen Yujin's words the Jian family turned out to be that powerful?
Then she remembered hitting Jiang Er—she admit was a bit cruel.
There was also the Song family, which currently she does not have any contact yet but she should see them sooner or later.
The word 'official' may be very scary and oppressive for others.
But for Gu Xueyi, doesn't feel any oppression or the like.
She had dealt with too many princes and nobles in her last life…which of course since she also already have the knowledge.
Gu Xueyi's brain gradually formed an idea in her mind…..she might as well give it a try.
From the ancient time, not all things could only be done by man.
"Is there anything else Madam Yan would like to ask?"
Jian Changming suddenly asked out.
On then did Gu Xueyi stops her thoughts and raised her eyes to look at Jian Changming and shook her head.
"Is there anything else Madam Yan would like to ask about the news of President Yan?"
She still shook her head.
Chen Yujin all tasted a little bit of ruthlessness from it.
Jian Changming now also could not help but doubt himself.
At first Gu Xueyi doesn't care if she lives or die as long as she could marry Yan Chao which was 3000 times more brain dead than a celebrity fan but now why does it feel like she was stepping down all of the sudden.
Even though it was clear that it was just a transactional deal, Jian Changming still felt a subtle sense of guilt at the bottom of his heart.
Yan Chao's life and death was unknown, but even if that was the case the wife who should be close to him were not the least bit concert about his whereabouts, thinking about it in the end it was a bit saddening.
"Then I'll have someone sent Madam home."
Chen Yujin stood up.
Gu Xueyi nodded her head and also got up.
The two walked side by side towards the door.
When she reached the door, Gu Xueyi suddenly remembered something as she looked back down and said faintly.
"I believe he will come back alive."
This was the second sentence she said today after she entered the door.
Naturally in this situation to put it crudely, was an utter rubbish.
However Jian Changming's gaze changed slightly.
Chen Yujin's steps also stalled.
These words were far more powerful than crying and anxious shouting.
When she stepped out of the door from the small conference room, Gu Xueyi suddenly called out the other secretary again and asked for a note pad and pen from her.
Turning against the wall, he wrote a line so quickly.
She handed the pen and the note pad back to the young secretary right afterwards.
Then shoved the notes where she wrote something to Chen Yujin's palm.
Chen Yujin's heart jumped violently and was startled.
Then there was a loud thud.
Followed closely by the whole person frozen up.
The warmth of her fingertips seems to linger on the notepad…
Jian Changming suddenly narrowed his eyes.
The people in the corridor was also shaken.
Chen Yujin then remembered that before coming here, he told Gu Xueyi—"don't talk."
So the whole time she barely spoke.
But, that doesn't mean she couldn't ask! At this time, what was the use of giving him a note? It looks like there were on some kind of private messaging. Was she teasing…
Chen Yujin unfolded the note in his hand with a wooden face.
[ Secretary Chen, your pants is wet. It should be stained from the tea. ]
The characters were written very beautifully.
Chen Yujin: "…."
Gu Xueyi's expression was faint as she walked towards the elevator.
Behind her was Jian Changming who's brows were wrinkled and eyelids were twitching.
Gu Xueyi and Chen Yujin?
On the other end.
The mentioned Jiang Er looked at himself in the mirror, specifically on the marks on his face that had almost faded.
Jiang Jin was recently grounded at home and was bored out of his mind. He came downstairs when he saw his second brother at this time, he couldn't help but ask.
"Did your call get through Gu Xueyi?"
Jiang Yue paused in his movements.
"Yan Wenjia should have returned home safely."
In other words these could also be interpreted that Gu Xueyi didn't answer his call.
Bullshit!1
Jiang Jing said in the back of his head.
This was really the first time he had known someone ignoring his second brother's phone call.
Thinking of how scary his second brother's dark face was and how much psychological shadow it had brought him, Jiang Jing couldn't help but burst out a little bubble of psychological balance and joy.
The next moment, Jiang Yue's phone suddenly rang.
Jiang Yue picked up and connected the call, there came the voice of the owner of some phone that had been on the line came from the other end.
"Are Mr. Jiang and Mr. Jiang's family member available on the 17th?"
What's she up to?
Want to invite me to dinner?
Jiang Yue pursed his lips and his cheeks still hurt a little.
He smiled as he said.
"Yes, there is sometime."
Across the table, however Jiang Jing shivered hearing the laughed.

Chapter 13(1)
The next day Jiang Yue found himself thinking too much.
Not only him but also the whole upper class circle who has good relationship with the Yan family and even those who didn't have much contact with them. As long as they were in the circle—since the Song family and Feng family were not invited.
Jiang Yue felt good and amused as he pinched the cigarette in his fingers but accidentally burn himself instead, making a 'sizzle' sound.
He thought he was going to be invited to make amends.
As a result she turned her face ruthlessly and stepped on him more firmly.
Few days ago, it was him who went to the Yan's house and took some fruit with him before he left. It was a peaceful and happy atmosphere so what news could spread these days? It was time for him to participate in the Yan's party again except for Song and Feng who were absent. Would the Jiang family shake hands and make up with the Yans?
As soon as he looked up, he saw Jiang Jing holding a PSP and shouting at the top if his lungs.
"Aunt Wang! I was to eat! Food! I'm hungry!"
Is he starve to death?
It's all this bastard's fault! If it weren't for him it wouldn't have happened.
There was also this person who he does not know where he get the news about the fight between Jiang Jing and Yan Wenbo, and just immediately passed this information to him.
After the falling into that situation, no one would be able to escape.
Aunt Wang was quick to bring the food but when Jiang Jing received the food he felt that the atmosphere was a bit not quite right and couldn't but asked.
Jiang Jing looked back at Jiang Yue.
"Your old man, in a bad mood?"
"I'm in a good mood though?"
Jiang Er showed a little sneer.
"The Yan family will held a banquet, the Songs and the Feng have not received an invitation at all only our Jiang family…."
"Doesn't that mean our family is extra awesome?"
"Awesome fart. When we went to the Yan house with our front feet then what would we say with our back feet 1 , that we had fun with the Yan's house—the fruit in my hand when I went to the Yan's house for you a few days is called corroboration, do you understand?"
Jiang Jing thought for a moment.
Then was I the who to take the fruits away?
How can I be blamed for this?
"Then we won't go this banquet?"
Jiang Jing asked.
Jiang Yue looked at him coldly as if he was looking on a pig.
"That's called being guilty as a thief."
And…
Jiang Yue instantly thought of that day at the Yan's mansion, she slowly got up and walked towards him as she personally put the box of strawberries into his hand…to strike a slap and give him jujube at the same time2.
So what sweet jujube should she give this time to appease him?
Jiang Yue got curious.
"So…. Are we going or not going?"
Jiang Jing was confused.
After few seconds Jiang Jing smacked his lips.
"That Yan Wenbo, his sister-in-law is really fucking powerful!"
Jiang Yue looked at Jiang Jing again with a gaze looking at a fool.
No susceptibility at all.
If this was born in a political family, his grass was already three meters high in the grave.
"…..very powerful… don't speak rudely."
Jiang Jing close his mouth into a thin line: "…"
Didn't you just call her yourself 'Lao Tzu?2
…
…
It was not difficult for a mistress to find out from everyone to figure out who was befriending whom and was not, which was in a small circle and which status was different… It was not a difficult task.
Only one day has passed but Gu Xueyi has already integrated everything.
And Yan Wenjia was force to become the provider of these great deal of information.
Yan Wenjia was leaning on the sofa.
He was supposed to be wearing a robe while his feet was stepping on the carpet barefeet.
But because Gu Xueyi was in front of him, he had to dress neatly. He wanted to crouched lightly to lean more comfortably on the sofa but his shirt would wrinkled so he had to sit straight again.
Yan Wenjia was unhappy at the buttom of his heart so he asked lazily and sarcastically.
"Do you understand the meaning of these?"
"Of course I do."
These four words were with no urgency nor slow but was instead, her voice was stable and there was no superfluous explanation, hearing this Yan Wenjia's voice chocked his throat.
When he wanted to rile up Gu Xueyi but instead of being punched back hard, it felt like he was hitting a cotton.
Gu Xueyi closed the file in her hand and stood up.
"I should go out."
Yan Wenjia instinctively asked.
"Where are you going?"
"The mall."
"You want to go to the mall?"
Yan Wenjia frowned.
"Are you going for a shopping?"
Gu Xueyi nodded her head.
"Madam Xia asked me out."
Which Madam Xia? The famous prodigal? Can't Gu Xueyi see what the other party was after? Doesn't she know the other party asked her out just to get the situation of the Yan house out of her mouth?
Yan Wenjia's internal organs were stirred up with anger, and his tone was gloomy.
"…my eldest brother is missing but you are going to the mall to go shopping as if nothing is happening?"
Gu Xueyi reasoned with him.
"Your big brother is missing and yet you went to play extreme sports as if nothing had happened."
Yan Wenjia choked.
"If I didn't come back I'll throw myself into the sea and die together with him okay?"
"Don't spread the net if you're going to die."
"…"
"…."
"Next time you have to tell me so I will also not let go when pressing you into the water."
Gu Xueyi said a light-hearted manner.
"…."
"You don't have to sacrifice yourself."
"I'm leaving."
"Ah.
"Will there be gossip reporters filming me?"
"Of course."
Yan Wenjia snorted and paused violently but when he looked up again Gu Xueyi had already pushed open the door and walked out.
There were no stupid people in the Yan family.
Yan Wenjia immediately understood what she meant.
The Yan's going to shopping malls were only telling the outside world and letting them know that the Yans were still running as usual without any turbulence.
Yan Wenjia pursed his lips and his head swept up with complicated emotions.
And at this time, Gu Xueyi outside the door paused. She asked the maid.
"The food for the youngest today has been delivered?"
The maid replied.
"Madam, it's been sent to the young master's school."
"En."
Gu Xueyi asked asked again.
"He's not coming home tonight?"
"Yes, he says he's not going home…."
"Call and make sure he has to come home for dinner tonight. Prepare some food and give him a tonic good for brain, he goes to school and needs to balance his nutrition."
"Yes."
Soon a sound of footsteps was heard walking away.
She's really like a big boss…
Yan Wenjia thought it was funny but even if he wanted to laugh he couldn't laugh. Not only he couldn't laugh it out, he was also little depress.

Chapter 13(2)
Madam Xia and Gu Xueyi were not what they called themselves friends, they just meet occasionally to shop together. Honestly it was the original owner who was more active to stick herself to Madam Xia.
Madam Xia has a strong character and firmly holds her husband's money. If she could spend eleven points she would never stop spending at ten so most of the mall shop assistants like her very much.
With such money thrown down, many brand names invited her to see the show from time to time. She has gradually developed a sense of fashion and this was exactly what the original owner lacks.
In order to get better luxury good and really join the upper class society, the original owner contacted the fashion circle and lowered her noble head in front of Madam Xia.
But for Madam Xia the most important thing was that in this circle, she doesn't like to have equal footing with the original owner. All she wanted was the fawn and favor she gave and of course the original owner looking up to her. After all who doesn't know that her marriage to Yan Chao was just formality?
And now, she stood in front of Gu Xueyi, surprised.
"You're not wearing makeup today?"
Gu Xueyi does wear makeup but she was too busy and just skip this step.
And since it was no important for Madam Xia to require her to dress up for the occasion she did not bother with the makeup.
"Lazy."
Gu Xueyi replied succinctly.
Madam Xia was instantly contemptuous.
No wonder you can't please President Yan, your fashion sense is a mess. In the past you still know to put on makeup and prim yourself but now you don't even bothered to get…
Although, although… it looks like you are more beautiful, even a bit prettier…..amazing.
Madam Xia suppressed that moment of amazement in her eyes, and that subtle bit of jealousy.
But her eyes flickered as she asked.
"You're not too sad because you watched the news are you?"
"News? What news?"
Madam Xia froze.
"So you didn't see it?"
Madam Xia didn't despise Gu Xueyi now but felt a little bit of superior pity welled up on her face.
"It's overwhelming that Jiang Meng is pregnant with President Yan's child. Is that true?"
"Not true."
Gu Xueyi answered directly and efficiently.
Where would Madam Xia believe? According to what she could see Gu Xueyi was trying to save her face and it was not a matter of one or two days.
It must be a lie to whitewash peace now.
"Aren't we going to the Gucci shop?"
Gu Xueyi shifted away from the topic.
Madam Xia's attention followed for a moment and nodded.
"Go."
Somewhere in Africa.
This time it was another change of venue.
The light this time was much brighter.
Only the phone remained casually placed on the table.
The signal was weak, but receiving text messages does not affect in any way. After all, China's infrastructure run quite far. In such desolate place it would still be convenient for Chinese to go around the world because of the signal tower that was built all over the world.
The phone screen lights up one at a time followed by another.
"Your credit card *** number paid 230,000 yuan at 14:11 on October 15…"
"Your credit card *** number paid 230,000 yuan at 14:11 on October 15…"
"….quick payment 410,000."
"Is it really not stolen?"
Several people stared at the screen and looked at each other.
The young man was sitting while leaning on the mound of earth but still with upright figure and a indifferent temperament. He slightly lowered his gaze and incorporated the information on his phone screen into his eyes.
"It's Gu Xueyi."
The man gently opened his lips, coming out was his soft and low timbre voice
"The Madam?"
Few people said,
That's a lot of spending.
But the men were not surprise.
Because this should how Gu Xueyi was, it was her returning to normal.
The man looked cold and unaffected, as he quickly changed the subject away.
"How far is Kaza from here?"
At this time at another shop, Madam Xia was frozen.
She knew that Gu Xueyi was using the secondary card of the Yan Chao.
Unluckily for her she has run up against the slag1 since Yan Chao had no feelings for Gu Xueyi. As soon as she recommend luxury good on her, she would buy all those luxury items, but even if she bought all the luxury items she could only buy tens of thousands out. After all she came out of a small family like Gu family, she was timid and afraid of spending too much and really scared to angered Yan Chao—she really wouldn't dare.
But today…
Madam Xia looked stunned.
According to her spending progress… in just more than ten minutes of shopping she already have spent a few million compared then, it would take her a few hours. She shouldn't be allowed to spend more than ten million?
Madam Xia prides herself on being a shopper so even though the money she could use was limited since she only goes shopping often, and not spending so much out every day.
Jiang Meng didn't made Gu Xueyi mad, does she?
"What else does Madam Xia recommend?"
Gu Xueyi turned her head and asked.
Madam Xia had a lump in her throat.
This shop was also particular about luxury items.
If one were not a VVVIP and had no experience of shopping luxury items, they wouldn't give you those new luxury items at all. Even if you take out a card and say I have money and I can buy it all, people on the shop would still be lazy to entertain you.
However Madam Xia happens to belong to the category of VVVIP customers.
Those new itmes luxury brands was left intended just for her. But since Madam Xia also has limited cash not everything could be bought in one swoop.
Today Gu Xueyi asked the shopkeeper to take out all the new luxury item in front of Madam Xia's face, the old customer.
At first glance, none of the items were considered expensive either.
The most expensive bag was only 410,000.
But what if she buy it all.
Madam Xia looked a little dull as if she felt that she had lost her usual position.
She was qualified to ask for those luxury items, and she should have been the top priority.
But today, positions seemed reverse. She look like a little servant girl who opens the way for Gu Xueyi, carry her bag as Gu Xueyi becomes the madam who generously swipes her card.
"There are, there are, there are still a few shops left to go."
Madam Xia gritted her teeth and made a fierce attack.
She would see how bold Gu Xueyi would be today and how much money she dares to swipe away from Yan Chao!
Gu Xueyi nodded.
"Let's go then."
Gu Xueyi buy things quickly, she does not even looks closely and even bothered to change and check if it was fit to her body or compare if it look good or bad on her, she was just too lazy to do it.
In the blink of eye, half an hour had passed.
Again, several millions were swiped out.
The corners of Madam Xia's mouth twitched.
She suddenly realized that if Yan Chao really died outside, then what a huge fortune would Gu Xueyi share would be.
The little sense of superiority she had in front of Gu Xueyi was gone in a flash.
Chapter 13(3)
At this time, Gu Xueyi stretched slowly.
Looking at her, she was a beauty with lazy temperament.
And this lazy beauty was even more beautiful than before.
Madam Xia gritted her teeth in jealousy.
"I bought enough, but Madam Xia doesn't even seem to be doing much shopping today?"
"What else can I buy when you've bought so many of the items reserved for me?"
Madam Xia stiffened her face and smiled.
"Then I am really grateful to Madam Xua for giving way."
"…..no thanks."
"Then I'll go back first. Our youngest family member is going home for dinner today."
Gu Xueyi got up and let her bodyguard carry her things.
There were still many items that she was not able to bring back and needs to be personally delivered afterwards.
When Gu Xueyi said she need to go back first here was no longer any reluctance to give up on the opportunity she suppose to work hard just like in the past.
In the past, Madam Xia almost every time after their shopping were called by her mahjong partners and would always left first. Leaving the original owner behind all alone, with a secret hatred that she could not get into Madam Xia's social circle.
Madam Xia stood in the same place, this time she really could not say what she was a feeling with the reversal of roles.
When Gu Xueyi went back home.
The maid was waiting for her and said in a weak voice.
"The fourth youngest said….that he was going to have fun with his friends tonight and would not go home."
Gu Xueyi held out her hand.
"Give me the phone."
The maid busily went to fetch the phone for her.
In school.
Yan Wenbo stared at the thermos bucket.
If Gu Xueyi is really acting, does she really need to play it like this every day?
At this time there were people sitting next to him, patting his shoulder.
"Young master is very lucky, they sent you food every day. The food does not look expensive but the who person made this must think of you and cared about you every day…. This taste is more valuable than anything."
The student said with his gloomy face.
"Unlike my parents, just because I'm now big they don't really care about me. They were either busy with the company or traveling around the country…. Fuck."
"….Ok let's stop, are we still going for the next class? We could go home early today after the next class."
Another voice interjected.
Yan Wenbo slowly held his eyes.
That's right.
The thermos was worthless and the food especially cooked by the cook was also worthless. But the thought of someone caring about him… he hasn't felt it since he was young, it's probably something more fucking difficult than a crude oil field.
Yan Wenbo responded.
"No, let's go…."
Before the words were out of his mouth, his phone rang.
Yan Wenbo picked up the phone.
"Didn't I say won't home?"
"Where are you going to play tonight?"
Gu Xueyi's cool and nice voice came out from the other end.
Yan Webo's body instinctively stiffened and surprisingly forgot to reply.
"Is it fun? How about taking me along to play?"
He could have just let her tag along to play.
A group of rich second generation rich kids invited young madam to play…. how fun could it be?
Yan Wenbo only outlined in his mind the picture of Gu Xueyi going and his mind was buzzing. He quickly blurted out.
"It's not fun so you don't have to come. I'll go back after class."
Waiting for him to finish his call and hanging up the phone.
The people on the sidelines were stunned.
"Young master, you're not going?"
"Go to hell yourself."
At the filming site.
Jiang Meng browse through the news again with apprehension.
Very good, third in on the hot search.. I can, I can definitely survive this crisis.
After five minutes.
Jiang Meng swipe the news once more.
And this time, she was pinned down to fourth.
Jiang Meng fixed her eyes on the third hot search—
Yan's stunning and breath taking appearance, swept a lot of harvest
Then she looked at the second hot search—
Will Yan Chao possibly returned safely?
Then look at the first hot search—

When she clicked it, the comments section was full of:
[Fuck, front row to eat the luxury melon!]
[I'm coming, I'm coming let me see an abundant and healthy rich people look like….]
[This is the same Madam Yan that was greened by Jiang Meng? Damn! Big beauty!]
Jiang Meng two black eyes bulged.
She thinks she had invited enough water army and spends a lot of money to buy the hot search and attract traffic but at the end they were all sent to pavement! by Gu Xueyi

Chapter 14 (1)
Rich and powerful families were far away from ordinary people's life, not to mention some top rich and powerful families who were not really reported casually by media magazines.
And what kind of ordinary people who do not watch some news especially gossips?
After that incident three years ago, Jiang Meng's scandal rose up and didn't make any good film last year and fell back to second line. However after the news of her cooperation with Director Li on a new film that came out this year the degree of attention went up again. Her fans was also injected with chicken blood one by one, which set up a strong backing for her career.
And at this critical time, news of Jiang Meng's pregnancy broke out and she was immediately pushed to the top of the traffic.
The Yan family also came into the publics eye.
Celebrity, rich families, cheating, lovers… several gossip keywords most loved by the public have all come together, whether it's a scandal or Jiang Meng's has really caught the limelight.
The comment section was full of fans who were washing the ground for Jiang Meng.
[Mr. Yan's wife's name is Gu Xueyi right? She was on the news a few years ago, she's arrogant emmmm, I can't stand her. Just a passerby no identity.]
[Found a picture of Gu Xueyi [picture], er, the Yan family seems to be very good, how could they marry her? She's really ugly. Her makeup looks like she's going to eat people….]
[Do you know that Jiang Meng is pregnant? Any knew if the Yan's and Gu's are divorced? Take NIMA's rhythm. Wait for the company's statement, wait for Yan's statement….]
[U1S1, Jm Yan press ten Gu.]
The phrase 'JM Yan press ten Gu', Jiang Meng still remembers.
She had met Gu Xueyi before.
Underneath the clumsy heavy makeup, concealed was a face with picturesque face.
Jiang Meng has a little weakness, but was indescribable hidden. A secret pleasure.
…then it came to a screeching halt at that moment.
While the comment section was covered by more eager netizens pouring in.
[No makeup? The way she dress was also simple, but she has a really classy beauty ah! this temperament is rally great!]
[My cousin works in Yan family said, Mr. Yan had long divorced Gu Xueyi? Are divorced people still holding the title of Madam Yan and invite major giants to dinner parties? The brain is a good thing.1]
[Please ask Miss Jiang Meng who is the most beautiful Gu Xueyi to come out and take two steps–]
[U1S1, Gu Yan presses 100JM. Please Jiang Meng don't fry in red carpet who presses countless actresses!]
Jiang Meng almost had myocardial infarction.
But when her agent saw that she was covering her stomach and was out of breath the agent hastily snapped the phone shut for her.
"Do you want to be so angry that you miscarry on the spot? Don't forget your purpose!"
The agent said with hatred.
Originally she though that Jiang Meng would be longest person she would handle, she was good looking enough and had a mixed race persona to add to it. Both male and females fans like her face, later on president Cao fell in love with her and she had more resources but she got pregnant.
If she got pregnant, then she got pregnant after all she knows Jiang Meng has the means.
But how come in front of Gu Xueyi, with just only one round she could not stabilized?
"I can't talk to Gu Xueyi… She won't even see me. The second and fourth young master of the Yan family don't care… no one will recognize the child in my belly."
Jiang Meng sharply gasped two breaths, barely slowing down.
"What do you mean…."
"Look for Yan Wenshu."
….
Yan Villa.
Yan Wenbo hung up another call without moving.
While Yan Wenjia who was sitting across him looked at him indifferently.
"You're really back."
This was something that he really didn't expect.
Yan Wenbo reacted quickly as he clasped the phone with one hand and looked up with a slightly cold gaze.
"You heard Gu….. Gu Xueyi call me?"
"En."
Yan Wenbo's phone rang again, he didn't even look at it and hung it up.
"Isn't that the Shi Chengbin's gang that keeps on calling you out?"
"…."
"Not going?"
Yan Wenbo finally opened his mouth,
"Don't you have to go to the set?"
Yan Wenjia tilted his head up and thought for a moment, then realized that he has been in the Yan house for several days now and hasn't been in the crew. Of course he seldom went to the crew but he didn't go anywhere else either.
Yan Wenjia slowly collected his thoughts and redirected his gaze to Yan Wenbo's body.
He replied rather casually.
"Don't want to go."
Yan Wenbo said coldly.
"I don't want to go either."
Yan Wenjia sat up straight and smiled softly, but even if he covered it with his smile his gloomy shadow still looked demonic.
"Now, you're not afraid that Shi Chengbin won't take you for a ride if you keep ignoring that?"
Yan Wenbo looked at him with even colder gaze.
The atmosphere in the room immediately became saber-rattling.
Not only was the Yan family doesn't care with Gu Xueyi but in face several young master and young miss living in the Yan family don't deal with each other very well.
The servants were not surprised and just lowered their heads and pretended that they didn't see or hear anything.
When a sound of footsteps approaching suddenly resounded.
Gu Xueyi came down from the stairs, she changed into a more comfortable clothes and her waist belt was loosely tied outlining her slender figure.
"Madam."
The maid called out and said.
"Dinner is ready."
The atmosphere in the room was instantly pressed down.
Both men closed their mouths as if no one had just opened them.
Gu Xueyi took in the appearance of the two but said nothing.
It was Yan Wenbo who could not stand the excessively quiet atmosphere first and opened his mouth.
"Are you really going to host a dinner party?"
"Well, the invitations have all been sent."
You really don't know how far the sky from the earth is.
Was the words that came out from Yan Wenbo lips but swallowed it back.
"…..Do you know how many people will come at that time? Can you control the scene?…. these are all minor matters, have you chosen the venue? Have you decided on the banquet and service staff?"
As he talked about it, Yan Wenbo was getting anxious.
"Those little things I handed it over to Chen Yujin."
Yan Wenbo choked.
It was only after a long time that his voice resounded again, he gritted his teeth as he was a little angry and a hint of disbelief could be heard in his voice.
"Chen Yujin agreed with you to do this?"
"En."
Is Chen Yujin crazy?
Chen Yujin is more than crazy.
Yan Wenjia took a deep look at Gu Xueyi
At that moment, a phone suddenly rang again.
Yan Wenbo hung up the phone without even looking.
Isn't this another fucking crazy one?
I'm crazy too.
On the other side.
Several people gathered together and asked.
"Did you get through?"
"What is the fourth young master up to?"
"Suddenly not going? Fuck. Without him as our backer how can we get in?"
Several people looked at each other, no one knew the answer to this question and their expression were not looking any good either.

The weibo was still in a melon frenzy.
[Am I the only one who went through the party list one by one? The big guys are gathering, or rather the big guys' families are gathering?]
[The Yan family's name is on 6. I now cannot help but suspect that Jiang Meng is deliberately attaching her name in the Yan family….]
[It's impossible, the Yan family is real 6 and Jiang Meng dares to touch porcelain1? The Yan family is too miserable, the wife was obviously the original partner and a great beauty but she was ridiculed by Jiang Meng and made herself the center of attention!]
[##Jiang Meng rolls out to apologize ##Jiang Meng rolls out to apologize ##obviously she is a blood sucking vase, pretending to be a strong career woman! The biggest joke of the year.]
[In fact the wife was not too miserable ah… in low voice: if Yan Chao really can't come back most of the family's property must go to the wife? The Yan family has enough money to buy a small country…]
[Then the hand that eats melons suddenly stops.]
[The melon in my mouth doesn't smell good either…]
[This is what the great beauty deserved, woo woo woo why can it I be a beauty like this?]
Most netizens were concerned about the life of rich families and celebrity gossip.
But there were more people pry into a different angle from the hot search.
In those days, Gu Xueyi made a scene to forcefully marry Yan Chao. The upper class circle almost knew it, and even the financial circle hear about it.
Gu Xueyi's love for Yan Cho has been proved thoroughly with his subsequent events.
She could go shopping happily, of course not because she was about to inherit Yan Chao's wealth. After all they didn't see her go out happily a few days ago, from the disappearance of Yan Chao until today. Now that she was seen this happy there could a biggest possibility that she knew Yan Chao's whereabouts.
For a while, there were happy investors, relieved financial practitioners and of course there were many who felt regret..
Jian Changming folded up the newspaper in his hand.
It was a stack of financial newspapers.
The secretary then knocked on the door and came in with another stack of statements.
Jian Changming didn't open it immediately but looked at Jian Rui who was sitting on the sofa.
"You've been sitting with me for an hour now, come on what's the matter?"
Jian Rui was a little embarrassed.
Even if she was already twenty nine years old and not young anymore, and even though she was tough and strict outside but in front of Jian Changming, she became a little girl.
"It's Cao Jiaye…."
"Well, which actress did he have rumored to be with again?"
Jian Changming's tone was flat as if he was not surprised by it.
"….it's not that."
"Oh?"
"It's just suspicion, I think I'm right but…."
Jian Rui simply got up and walked over to Jian Changming and hand him the phone.
In the narrow screen of the phone, what Jian Changming's eyes saw was a capture photo.
Jian Rui said in the side.
"This actress is called Jiang Meng, little uncle since you don't watch TV you don't much but she is an actress who was a big hit years ago. She was working in Cao Jiaye's company, I have heard a little bit from last year…. She looks very charming, very suitable for Cao Jiaye's taste…"
Jian Rui intermittent voice seemed to be a background sound.
Jian Changming looked at the young woman in the photo, wearing a light almond-colored dress draped with a white shawl outside and carrying a small LV bag.
She was slender, tall, has a white-snow skin, her facial features were ink depiction, her black hair was casually scattered and her body exudes a solemn atmosphere. She slightly turned her head sideways and was talking to the person beside her looking cold and indifferent but the lines of her side face were softened by the light and her eyebrows and eyes were shining like autumn water.
The sunlight sprinkled behind her as she walked as if the person in the picture came out slowly.
There was a kind of quiet but firmly pressing beauty.
Anyone in the same frame with her would be instantly compared.
Although Jian Changming had seen the changes in her that day at the Yan building it was still not as impactful as this snapshot.
The slim figure in the photo rushes into the eyes of everyone who sees it in a more powerful way.
"But now I'm confused, could it be that the news I received was wrong? Little uncle you see.. now the news all over the internet is that, she's pregnant with Yan Chao's child… Jiang Meng this woman has some means if she accidentally misses it, it may become a big trouble…"
Jiang Meng….
Only then did Jian Changming see that the original photo of the actress was in front of Gu Xueyi.
Jian Changming: "You mean that overwhelming news?"
"Yes."
Jian Rui nodded.
"That's why I suspect that I made a mistake here…."
Without waiting for Jian Rui to finish her sentence Jian Changming suddenly talked about another matter.
"Do you know why Gu Xueyi held this dinner party?"
Jian Rui startled.
Jian Changming calmly recounted.
"It is to great and openly strategy to let more people know the recent situation of the Yan family, turning passivity into initiative and achieving some of her goals."
Jian Rui took a few seconds to respond.
"Then the overwhelming news is also for more people to know about…."
"If you want to know the real situation, you might as well ask Gu Xueyi directly if Jiang Meng really has something to do with Yan Chao."
Jian Rui was silent for a moment and nodded.
"I know."
Jian Changming suddenly spoke up again and asked.
"That day when you stayed at the Yan's house what kind of person did you think Gu Xueyi was?"
Jian Rui couldn't figure out the topic and froze for another ten seconds or so before she weighed in an said.
"She's a…."
"A woman who is nothing like the rumors."
"It's going to be the 17th soon."
Jian Changming said.

Chapter 15(1)
The attraction of rich life to ordinary people was too great, this mouthful of melon froze a few days so they has been eating this melon until the seventeenth before the netizens have digested it.
But just after digesting the last bite the next melon came right after.
On the 17th the Yan family's dinner party would be held at 7:30 p.m on the most luxurious Celica Hotel in the Beijing.
It's 2:00 pm now.
The maids busily bought out expensive dresses and little by little filled the room.
Gu Xueyi glance roughly but she was not satisfied, even after the maid talked endlessly about which one was made by master XX and which one was limited edition, in Gu Xueyi's syes it was all cheap.
But she couldn't attend in her hanfu.
The well dressed and well groomed secretary Chen who was wearing a dark blue suit was standing at the door looking at Gu Xueyi inside the room and could not help but asked.
"Madam doesn't have a piece that looks good on you?"
"Hmm."
Gu Xueyi turned around.
She has almost completely adopted to this world, she also grasps the knowledge more and more. Probably only some of the more remote things could be difficult for her.
She suddenly yanked something out of her memory.
"Just hire a styling team."
Chen Yujin raised his eyebrow and said.
"That's good, you're finally not tossing your own hands."
"Then I will comply with your wishes."
After saying these, Chen Yuji went on his phone.
Yan Wenshu flew back to China overnight.
Jiang Meng's agent wore a duck-tongue hat and went to pick up the person.
Yan Wenshu came out of the airport and stared at her coldly for five minutes, the agent that was being stared was sweating profusely. She was uncomfortable all over, she squeezed out a voice from her throat and said.
"Miss Yan, let's go….get in the car first."
Only then Yan Wenshu avert her gaze but instead of taking the nanny car prepared by her agent she took the car she called.
Half an hour later, Yan Wenshu met with Jiang Meng.
By this time it was 2:30 pm.
"You want to go the Yan family's banquet?"
Yan Wenshu's tone was sarcastic and unrelenting. It was clearly saying that Jiang Meng did not deserve to go to the Yan family's dinner party.
Jiang Meng's expression was stiff, and her facial muscles could hardly hold up a smile.
"Yes…. this matter always has to be solve doesn't it? Isn't that why you came back here for?"
Yan Wenshu said coldly.
"Then go ahead."
Jiang Meng breathed a sigh of relief.
The agent has found a good stylist team for her privately, and just waited for the time to go to the dinner party and once again crushed Gu Xueyi, washing away the comments of those who abuse and despise her in the weibo.
The agent turned to make a phone call.
But not a moment later, she came back with a stiff face.
"Studio X….is not taking orders, they took Ji Mingming's order as a priority."
Jiang Meng's face changed dramatically.
"Ji Mingming is also going to the Yan family's dinner party? Is she worthy to go?"
The agent said to herself.
"You've been matched" haven't you?
Jiang Meng bit her lip and looked at Yan Wenshu.
Yan Wenshu said impatiently,
"You don't expect me to help you, do you?"
Yan Wenshu was one of the Yan family and the circle of celebrities at local and abroad was quite open so of course she could invite better team….or even the top team was impossible allowed to invite.
But Yan Wenshu's attitude threw a pot of cold water on Jiang Meng.
Jiang Meng's heart was anxious, she doesn't want to lose to Gu Xueyi at such time. She could only call Cao Jiaye.
In a flash it was 6pm.
Gu Xueyi has just finished styling her hair, she opened her eyes slowly and had the maid bring her food first. Slowly and methodically she used up the snack and fruits and then drank a hot tea before getting up and preparing to head to the hotel.
The styling team froze as they watched from the side.
They have served top flow stars, movie stars of various film festivals and of course the major giants…
Among these people, there were those with exquisite and beautiful facial feature, those outstanding temperament and customs, and those with the spirit of being a madam but they have never seen a rich madam who could integrate all of these.
"You…"
A young man suddenly took two steps and reached Gu Xueyi, he bend down and straightened her dress.
Gu Xueyi looked back.
The young man met her gaze and paused before finishing the rest of his words smoothly.
"You should be careful."
Gu Xueyi smiled faintly at him.
"Yes."
Turning her head again, she caught a glimpse of Chen Yujin who was waiting for her.
The smile on Gu Xueyi's face has not yet completely faded and Chen Yujin just caught the fleeting smile. Her eyebrows were slightly curved and there seemed to be light leaking out from her eyes, it was completely different beauty from her usual cold and indifferent aura.
Chen Yujin paused and turned sideways.
"Madam please."
Who was Chen Yujin?
One of the powerful right hand men of Yan Chao.
As the spokesperson of the Yan Chao he often attends various occasions and his circle of friends has gathered numerous bigwigs. He made a phone call and hire the top styling team, of course it was for Gu Xueyi.
Gu Xueyi has not yet carefully looked at herself in the mirror and was oblivious to her current appearance.
At 6:30 their car arrived at Silica Hotel.
The banquet venue has been almost set up, waiters' shuttled back and forth even reporters have ben squatting outside the hotel doors but Gu Xueyi and Chen Yujin took the side door and was not caught by the reporters.
As the two walked inside, Chen Yujin asked in a loud voice.
"Second and fourth master's won't be present?"
"En."
Gu Xueyi faintly answered, just like a big parent.
"Yan Wenjia went to the crew to film, Yan Wenbo wanted to study so why let the younger generation follow this boring party."
Younger generation?
Only Gu Xueyi woul treat them like a children.
The person in charge of the hotel quickly greeted them and when he got close he was instantly stunned.
The young man was dressed in a suit and had a handsome face, while the young woman's long dress trailed the ground looking stunningly beautiful. At a first glance he could tell they were a match.
If he did not happened to reach the hot search and seen the photos of Madam Yan, the person in charge would have mistaken her as Secretary Chen's female companion.
"This is…. This is the list, please ask Madam Yan to look over it again."
The person in charge carefully handed over the banquet list.
Madam Yan was too beautiful, it was clearly that today's makeup was not overpowering on the contrary Madam Yan's temperament today was also a bit on the quiet and soft side but the person in charge just feels an inexplicable pressure.
Chen Yujin sighed lightly.
"I'll do it."
"Hmm?"
Gu Xueyi turned her head to look at him.
Chen Yujin has never been this kind.
….but today's banquet was the face of the Yan family.
And….
Chen Yujin said lightly.
"Madam is dress up today, how can she bend down to do such a small thing?"
Gu Xueyi drew back her hand, neither humble not arrogant, not urgent nor slow and nodded slightly.
"Then I will leave the hard work to Secretary Chen."
Chen Yujin took her appearance into his eyes and could not help but curse "fuck" in his heart.
Where was the previous Gu Xueyi?
Chapter 15(2)
Though now he's more….more feeling helpless facing her. But it doesn't change the fact that she has changed herself, she has become wise, would take measure, her temperament was overpowering and she don't make mistakes in her words and deeds.
She moves between charm, and would sometimes use silent intrusion but also come face to face with a head strong.
It gives birth to an unstoppable sense of absurdity.
Not long after, another person in charge of dealing with the media came to see Gu Xueyi.
"Madam Yan, this is the list of today's media."
Chen Yujin took a gentle breath, upholding the principle of sending the Buddha to the west, and took it with one hand,
"I'll do it."
The person in charge of checking guests followed suit.
"Madam Yan this is…."
Not waiting for the other party to finish his sentence.
Chen Yujin: "I'll do it."
Chen Yujin's strong ability to handle a party was naturally more than enough.
Though Gu Xueyi was not afraid to take up occasion but it would be a good thing if there was a more suitable model in era to let her take a look and take the best of it as she learn.
Gu Xueyi settled on the couch and just sat there until 7:30.
She slowly stood up and walked towards the front hall.
While Chen Yujin had already taken care of everything, he immediately followed half a step behind Gu Xueyi.
Outside the hotel, Chen Yujin's assistant was responsible for receiving and guiding the guests.
Only when a guests at the level of Jian Changming would Chen Yujin personally meet them.
The hotel gradually became crowded.
Outside the hotel, reporters were excited to capture every luxurious cars and everyone who got off the luxurious car, such group of people gathered together could really shake the power of European country.
Only a few giants could bring these people together.
"Mr. Jian is here!"
"Mr. Jian…."
Immediately a stream of people surged past trying to make an impression of Jian Changming.
Mr. Gu and his wife were caught in the middle and could not help but sigh even more.
If Gu Xueyi could capture the heart of Yan Chao and make the Yan family truly acknowledge their marriage how great would they be?
To the extent that the Yan family and the Jian family could not rely on more money.
Jian Changming was followed by Jian Rui and Cao Liaye.
Looking at the hospitality of the countless people in front of him and Cao Liaye couldn't help sighing at this time. The most beautiful moment of marrying Jian's daughter was here, his eyes flickered. He don't know how much investment and project he could talk about today?
Jian Changming however did not even look at those people and turned to Chen Yujin's assistant and asked.
"Where is Secretary Chen?"
Without waiting for a reply, there was a sudden burst of exclamation.
"That's…..Jiang Er!"
"Why is Jiang Er here?"
Someone even couldn't hold back and burst out a rude remark.
"Holy Shit!"
Jiang Yue took his young brother Jiang Jing, wearing a black suit they mixed in a group of businessmen and right away he most resemble a criminal underworld.
He strode forward without looking elsewhere.
The media raised their cameras frantically.
Fuck!
This is really a big news!
The Jian family and the Yan family were already close friends so it's not unusual for Jian Changming to show up!
But Jiang Er appeared here, what does that mean?
….that represents so much behind the scenes!
This was more powerful and worth much more than the actress who followed a rich businessman to the party and almost showing half of her breast!
Jiang Meng also arrived at the entrance of the hotel at this time.
Yan Wenshu got out of the cat first and she followed closely behind.
Cao Jiaye finally hired one of the top stylist team in China for her, even better than what her agent originally contacted.
Jiang Meng hooked her lips, revealing a graceful and more charming smile.
Today, she's still the only one who could impress others.
But after getting off the car, Jiang Meng found that in front of her was Jian Changming and Jiang Yue. Everyone turned around to the two big men and no one noticed her at all.
Of course, this was not important what was important was the time when she meet with Gu Xueyi.
Jiang Meng steadied her mind and followed the steps of Yan Wenshu.
Inside the hotel, Chen Yujin went to welcome Jian Changming but saw Gu Xueyi also moved.
Chen Yujin paused, still half a step behind.
He thought Gu Xueyi was going to pick up Jian Changming, who knew that only when he got close did he hear Gu Xueyi gently open her lips and smiled slightly.
"Mr. Jiang good evening."
Her voice was extraordinarily nice and comfortable to listen to in the ears.
The people around instinctively parted to make way for Gu Xueyi behind them.
Gu Xueyi leisurely approached Jiang Yue.
She was wearing a floor-length dress, with beautifully arched eyebrows and crimson lips.
Chen Yujin's eyelids suddenly twitched, before reacting to what he had done he instinctively bent down first and lifted the hem of Gu Xueyi's dress.
In that moment.
Everyone gave birth to an illusion of freezing the time.
Jiang Yue also fixed his eyes on her.
…is this some romantic date?
Jian Changming frowned.
Chen Yujin and Gu Xueyi…..
And there's Jiang Er….? was going on….
Also.
Gu Xueyi was not here to welcome him.
The media suddenly returned to their senses and pressed the shutter hard.
There really was a beauty in this world that everyone feel for her, bend and lift the hem but still it was a great honor to them.
