After Li Nian left, the house was instantly much quieter. Xu Chenghao was lying on his bed; YY1YY – yì yín (意淫), fantasizing. Can also mean sexual thoughts but in this case I believe fantasizing is the best word for the sentence. how to take revenge on the villain and possibly hurt him too, when he received a call from Father Xu.

After a long time, Xu Chenghao felt a pattern – Mother Xu usually called him to go home. In contrast, Father Xu usually called to ask him to attend a banquet to supervise his interpersonal relationship.

Sure enough, as soon as the phone was connected, Father Xu said that he had received an invitation to attend the banquet the day after tomorrow, but he was too old to deal with these occasions and hoped that he would attend on his behalf.

To some extent, Father Xu was only hoping to transfer his network to his son so he could use his connections to help him go further.

These were all gifts from the elders, and Xu Chenghao naturally couldn’t refuse.

This is a gift from the elders; Xu Chenghao naturally can not resist; it just so happens that his cold will be almost gone the day after tomorrow, so he agreed directly.

​​

After Father Xu gave his instructions, he suddenly said, “Your voice doesn’t sound right. Are you smoking?”

Xu Chenghao touched his throat subconsciously: “No, it’s just that my throat is not comfortable. I’ll just put a piece of watermelon frost on it later.”

Father Xu took out a straight man’s comfort: “Drink more hot water.”

Xu Chenghao: “OK.”

Father Xu: “Yes. It’s OK, get some rest.”

“OK, good night.”

After finishing the call with FatherXu, the sky outside had already turned dark, and it was just the time for the nanny to get off work, so she reminded Xu Chenghao to eat and then left.

Xu Chenghao took a look and found out that the other party had actually prepared a light medicinal meal for him, one that was especially researched with great care. Xu Chenghao was so delighted that he felt he hadn’t increased her salary in vain, so he happily ate dinner.

Tonight, the chili seedlings in the large flowerpot that were supposed to bear fruit still failed. Xu Chenghao sighed and replanted the chili peppers. When he turned to look at the little yellow duck’s beak flowerpot for comfort, he happened to see the pepper seedlings in the little yellow duck slowly blooming little white flowers. 

Xu Chenghao’s smile of relief had not yet shown, and then he reacted – the banquet day was actually the harvesting day for the pepper seedlings in the little yellow duck pot!!

After what happened yesterday, Xu Chenghao felt that the outside world with the villain’s neurotic disease was too scary. The little yellow duck is so weak and helpless; how can it be outside during its harvest time?!

If he leaves the little yellow duck at home while he attends the banquet… It seems more unsafe to leave by himself…

Xu Chenghao fell into deep thought and finally decided to inquire whether the villain would go and then choose whether or not he should take the little yellow duck!

That’s it! Xu Chenghao used a red envelope of six yuan and six cents to coax Li Nian back and asked him to help investigate Jing Yicheng’s recent movements and whether he would go to the banquet the day after tomorrow.

Li Nian arrogantly said, “Do you think a red packet of six yuan and sixty-six cents can buy me off?”

Xu Chenghao: “Then you give it back to me!”

Li Nian: “Dream on!!!”

Xu Chenghao: “It’s a deal.”

Li Nian: “……”

It’s a mess, but the boss’s orders must be obeyed. Although Li Nian’s mouth is a little bit broken, his business ability can pass Father Xu’s test, which means he is one of the best.

Fifteen minutes later, he sent a message saying: “His occupation seems to be very secretive, and there is no exact news. But he was not invited to the banquet the day after tomorrow, and there is an 85% probability that he will not attend.”

This is completely good news. Xu Chenghao was very happy and rewarded Li Nian with a red envelope of 22 yuan and 22 cents to praise his business ability.

Li Nian, who harvested two in a row: “???”

Blocked!!

————

Here, Li Nian reported the investigation results, and over there, Jing Yicheng quickly learned that someone was investigating his whereabouts.

​​

Because of his special occupation, Jing Yicheng’s whereabouts and personal safety were very important. Suddenly, a person appeared to inquire about his whereabouts, which made all the bodyguards nervous. They began to investigate back and report the information to Jing Yicheng together.

​​

“Li Nian is investigating me? Jing Yicheng coughed uncontrollably after saying this.

The bodyguard beside him brought a warm glass of water and whispered, “Yes, it seems to be confirming whether or not you will attend the banquet.”

Jing Yicheng took a sip of warm water to ease his throat: “Which banquet?”

“On the 60th birthday of Mr. Jiang in the circle, it is reported that he will announce his resignation from the board of directors on the same day, and his grandson Jiang Changming will officially assume the post of president Jiang’s group. It can be regarded as taking this opportunity to support his grandson.”

Jing Yicheng tapped the teacup with his fingers, and the slight sharp pain in his throat made him frown.

… The chili peppers that day were really too hot, and he ate them so fast that it hurt his throat.

Seeing his frown, the bodyguard thought he was impatient, so his speech speed increased immediately: “We guessed that the other party wanted to find out if you would go to the banquet, but after failing to find any information about your whereabouts, he retreated and chose to investigate the banquet.”

Jing Yicheng asked, “is Li Nian Xu Chenghao’s employee?”

Bodyguard: “Yes, and it is very likely that Ruan Chenxuan and An Rouyu will also attend the banquet that day.”

After speaking, the bodyguard carefully looked at Jing Yicheng’s expression and whispered: “The news just came out today… Ruan Chenxuan broke the engagement and became the president of the Ruan family again. Neither the Ruan family nor the Zhou family stopped him, and the head of the Ruan family seemed to be overridden. “

Jing Yicheng said calmly: “It’s faster than I thought, Ruan Chenxuan is really Ruan Chenxuan.”

The bodyguard bowed his head silently, eyes looking at the nose, nose pointing at the chest2眼观鼻鼻观心 means ‘look down and lower head’; It is a graphic description of a posture. It’s used to express humility and submission in the bodyguards case..

Jing Yicheng thought for a moment, then suddenly said, “Find me an invitation.”

Bodyguard: “Yes.”

At this time, no one dared to ask whether Jing Yicheng had given up and why he had to request an invitation to participate in this kind of thing again. Probably no one would have thought that the purpose of Jing Yicheng going to the banquet was not An Rouyu but another person.

……

The venue was fully booked with high-profile guests on the night of the banquet.

At this time, Old man Jiang hadn’t appeared yet, and most of the time, his grandson Jiang Changming came forward to entertain the guests. Xu Chenghao handed him the gift, exchanged a few pleasantries, and entered directly, holding his little yellow duck’s beak flowerpot.

The little yellow duck has been making a lot of appearances around Xu Chenghao lately. It was almost taken wherever he went. Everyone was accustomed to it. When talking to Xu Chenghao, they will make a few jokes asking about what kind of valuable species it is.

Whenever this happens, Xu Chenghao will show a mysterious smile and say to those who ask, “This is the pepper seedling ah.”

Everyone: “…”

A group of buddies who grew up with golden keys3 Literally means born into rich families. had indeed never seen pepper seedlings. So after being speechless for a while, they began to study pepper seedlings with great interest, saying: “It turns out that pepper seedlings look like this, and the flowers seem to be pretty.”

Xu Chenghao blocked their hands: “The flowers that have just bloomed are very fragile, don’t touch them… Go, go, don’t touch them.”

The person who was just about to reach out angrily retracted his hand and asked, “Brother Hao, can your pepper seedlings bear fruit? How long does it take to plant them?”

“I’ve just started planting, and I’m not quite sure… Let’s try it out.” Xu Chenghao blurted out vaguely.

Someone said: “Brother Hao, why do you suddenly like planting pepper seedlings? Isn’t it better to plant a small orange or a small tomato?”

Xu Chenghao did not change his expression and said, “Recently, I have a heavy palate, so I like to eat pepper.”

The other party said, “No wonder your voice doesn’t sound right, is it burning?”

Xu Chenghao coughed lightly: “A few days ago, I got a cold, so my throat is not too comfortable.”

“So that’s the case ……”

“The temperature has cooled down recently, so you still have to pay attention to your health.”

While everyone was chatting, they suddenly heard a commotion coming from the door. Everyone turned their heads to look together and saw Ruan Chenxuan and An Rouyu walking in, arm in arm, in an intimate manner.

Ruan Chenxuan wore a suit and leather shoes, looking elegant and in high spirits. With a smile on his handsome face, he tilted his head slightly, whispering something to An Rouyu.

An Rouyu was obviously nervous and shy, her right hand wrapped around his arm like she was grabbing duckweed, leaning tightly against Ruan Chenxuan.

At this moment, Xu Chenghao clearly felt that the atmosphere around him had changed, and all the people who were laughing just now silently shut up, seeming to be even more embarrassed than him. There seemed to be a huge halo on his head that attracted attention. After everyone discovered that the male and female protagonists came to the banquet, they began to observe his expression and reaction secretly. The light of gossip in their eyes shone brighter than the crystal lamp above his head.

——After all, in the eyes of everyone, their relationship can probably be described with four words dog blood stimulation.

Ruan Chenxuan snatched Xu Chenghao’s fiancée, and Xu Chenghao stepped back on the other party by spreading the news of his withdrawal.

The fact that the two sides have reached such a level is already a clear-cut confrontational relationship. It is impossible to shake hands and make peace. If they meet suddenly, they will either rip each other apart or throw sarcastic comments at each other. There must be a good show to watch!

With this thought in mind, everyone glanced at the three people absentmindedly, looking forward to seeing what new information came out.

In this atmosphere, Ruan Chenxuan and An Rouyu would find it difficult not to notice Xu Chenghao’s existence, not to mention Xu Chenghao’s brilliance cannot be erased. He stood in the crowd as if he was a crane standing in a crowd. He was hard to ignore with such a handsome figure and shining face that was so obvious in a crowd. 

But he didn’t pay attention to Ruan Chenxuan and An Rouyu, just glanced at them lightly, then calmly retracted his gaze, lowered his head, and fiddled with his pepper seedlings as if he didn’t know them at all.

Ruan Chenxuan showed a stunned expression for a moment and then quickly turned cold. After that, no other expressions appeared, and the people around him who looked straight at him couldn’t stop worrying. They whispered amongst themselves; these two people who are not enemies are more like enemies; how can they be so calm when they meet? It’s really strange!

An Rouyu tugged Ruan Chenxuan; the two whispered something and suddenly walked towards Xu Chenghao together.

The people around who were disappointed suddenly became excited again and moved closer to them intentionally or unintentionally, expecting to hear some exciting news.

“Hao gege…” An Rouyu stood still before Xu Chenghao and whispered, “I heard that you rescued me and sent me to the hospital the day before yesterday; thank you.”

Ruan Chenxuan also smiled and said, “Thank you, Mr. Xu, for saving my girlfriend.I will definitely thank you another day.”

Xu Chenghao could hear him bite out the word ‘girlfriend’ heavily, but he was not stimulated at all; he just calmly said: “I did not save her; it was Jing Yicheng who did it.”

Xu Chenghao originally wanted to throw the pot at Jing Yicheng, but he didn’t expect to hear someone behind him whisper, “Why don’t I know?”

The author has something to say:

Xu Chenghao: Suddenly so embarrassed.

Jing Yicheng: I won’t carry this pot!
