It was only after Jian Zhou rejected Ji Pengkun that he realized something was wrong. He was already the eldest lady's plaything. Ji Pengkun was tolerant enough without blaming his daughter for her mischief. How could he go to such great lengths to help his daughter play with others.

Jian Zhou knew something was wrong, but he didn't want to explore it. After all, he would never be able to take the initiative in this game.

If Jian Zhou didn't cooperate, Ji Pengkun could only find another way and think of other solutions.

He held a banquet and invited many wealthy families and elites in the capital.

This banquet was held for Ji Yan. She had only seen Jian Chuan before. In fact, Jian Chuan was not the only outstanding child in Beijing, but Jian Chuan's family was the best.

There are people who are better than him, and there are people who are better looking than him. There are so many outstanding children, and there is always someone who can catch her eye.

Jian Zhou is even more inconspicuous inside. There will always be someone more beautiful and with a better personality.

Ji Pengkun personally invited all the juniors from the aristocratic family. The children who came tonight were all dressed up carefully and had been told by their elders to behave well in front of the Ji family's daughter and strive for the opportunity to get married.

The banquet was in the name of "making friends", but it was actually a blind date.

Ji Yan understands her father's painstaking efforts, and also knows that she cannot go against his ideas at this time. Only by obeying but not compromising can she slowly let them see clearly her feelings for Jian Zhou.

The only thing Ji Yan was unhappy about was that she didn't visit Jian Zhou, and Jian Zhou stopped visiting her. He seemed to be avoiding her recently.

Maybe her father had also visited Jian Zhou, but Ji Yan was not sure what they talked about.

But no matter what his father talked about with him, it would arouse Jian Zhou's rebellious psychology, and he would definitely alienate her again because of his father's words.

"Miss, the banquet is about to begin." Lin Shen knocked on the door.

A soft voice came from inside the door, "Okay."

She changed her usual gentle outfit today and wore a burgundy dress with a tube top style. Her gentle long curly hair covered her round and beautiful shoulders. The hem of the skirt was too long. Half of it was lifted up and pressed on her legs. A blanket was thrown over it.

Under her skirt was a pair of comfortable slippers. She didn't have to get down to walk. As long as she looked decent, no one would care what kind of shoes she wore under her skirt.

It was the first time Jiang Yurong saw the eldest lady wearing such a brightly colored skirt. She just thought she was beautiful and looked good in anything she wore. She carefully put the ruby ​​necklace given by her husband on the eldest lady, and then pushed the young lady out. Door.

Jiang Zhuo had been waiting at the door early in the morning. When he saw Ji Yan coming out, he was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but blush. He lowered his head and took the wheelchair from Jiang Yurong: "I'll push you down, Yan Yan."

"it is good."

Jiang Zhuo also wore a new suit today. It was well-cut, and the fabric and style matched his figure and face. It almost magnified the young master's advantages. He was able to see a new level tonight.

Jiang Zhuo dressed up like this on purpose. He hasn't given up completely yet. One day Yanyan will also see how good he is and want to touch him, not just as a friend.

"Good evening, Miss Ji." The guests greeted her politely.

It seems that someone has told her in advance that when people look at her, their eyes will always avoid her legs, probably to avoid making her angry. Her reputation in the circle is still irritable, and only a few people know that she has changed. Be different from before.

Ji Yan raised her head and looked around. Many familiar faces were here, even Jian Chuan was here.

Her eyes stayed on the male protagonist for a moment before slowly moving away.

Zhou Shuyue stood in the corner, observing her all the time, and saw her gaze lingering on Jian Chuan for a long time.

She couldn't help but be convinced: "The eldest lady still can't forget Jian Chuan. Her personality has changed so much now. It's most likely not a personality change caused by the butterfly effect, but a new way of pursuit. She's not as obsessed with him as before. , but the current tricks are indeed very clever.”

The system agreed: "It's not impossible. Under normal circumstances, it's impossible for the female supporting character to be so different from the original work. It's really not right for the eldest lady to do this."

Zhou Shuyue is still ready to observe again. As long as everything goes well, tonight will be a good time to make a move.

It was difficult for Ji Pengkun to intervene in the children's situation, but Ji Yan was smart and understood what he meant. She had always been very obedient and would not disobey his wishes.

Even if Ji Yan doesn't need to take the initiative tonight, all the guests present will find the right opportunity and take the initiative to talk. Whether they are younger or older than Ji Yan, they all come to contact her with the task of being verbally instructed by the family elders.

These are Ji Pengkun's carefully selected guests. Ji Yan doesn't want to let down her father's hard work. It's always right to get acquainted with them, but it is destined to not achieve the effect her father wants.

The girl surrounded by layers of people always had a faint smile on her lips.

Gu Xiuyun and Jian Chuan were sitting in the corner. The young master of the Gu family was pouring wine for him. His face was already red, "Jian Chuan, I'm jealous of you."

"Ok?"

They had a fight that night and it was a draw. Gu Xiuyun didn't say anything, just stared at him with eyes that were almost killing people. Today, he came to Miss Ji's banquet and got himself drunk again. Jian Chuan also found out. His was abnormal.

Gu Xiuyun looked at Ji Yan from a distance and expressed his bitterness to Jianchuan: "Why does she only like you? What's so good about you? Your eyes are so bad."

Jian Chuan:?

Gu Xiuyun went crazy when he was drunk, and this was not the first day Jian Chuan knew about it.

He frowned, "Who is she? Miss Ji?"

"What do you think?" Gu Xiuyun really wanted to slap him in the face that attracts bees and butterflies, "You know what you're asking, but you still act like a good boy when you get an advantage!"

Jian Chuan sighed: "You misunderstood, Miss Ji doesn't like me."

Gu Xiuyun sneered coldly and looked carefully at Jian Chuan's annoying face: "I probably know how you broke her heart."

Jian Chuan: "..."

"Stop drinking, you've drunk too much." Jian Chuan said solemnly, and patiently took the wine glass from his hand.

Jian Chuan doesn't look at Moments, so he doesn't know what Ji Yan posted some time ago. If he saw it, he would definitely think of the words that the girl said gently but firmly in the hospital.

You will also definitely find out that the person mentioned in Ji Yan's circle of friends is Jian Zhou.

Gu Xiuyun mistakenly thought that person was Jian Chuan, and the misunderstanding between the two stemmed from the information gap.

Gu Xiuyun couldn't listen to Jian Chuan's words at this moment. He was almost obsessed with Ji Yan. She was so good, why didn't Jian Chuan cherish her?There were so many people who wanted her, but only Jian Chuan got her favor, but Jian Chuan, he...

He is blind!

Gu Xiuyun lay on the table and cried like a child.

Jian Chuan was at a loss for a moment.

When a man cries, it is also very troublesome.

Ji Yan quickly noticed the movement here. She stared silently for a long time before confirming that the person sobbing on the table was indeed the young master of the Gu family.

Why are you crying?

She controlled the wheelchair and walked over there. She was worried that Master Gu didn't want others to see her current embarrassment. When she came over, she gently asked others to do their own thing without following.

She came here alone, looked at Gu Xiuyun, and then looked at Jian Chuan: "What's wrong with him?"

Jian Chuan whispered: "I drank too much. I must have thought of something sad."

"Send him to the guest room to rest, and I'll ask the servant to make some hangover soup."

"Okay, trouble."

Gu Xiuyun also heard Ji Yan's voice, and he couldn't even raise his head, so he pretended to be drunk and unconscious.

It wasn't until Ji Yan finished ordering the servants and left to entertain other guests that he raised his head. His face, which had always been proud and handsome, was red and white from crying. Jian Chuan had a headache after looking at it.

"Let's go and have a rest. Don't let Miss Ji down."

Gu Xiuyun nodded.

Zhou Shuyue saw the whole process clearly just now. Sure enough, the eldest lady was paying attention to Jian Chuan all the time. When she found the opportunity, she would go over and brush her face. Sure enough, she had not forgotten Jian Chuan!

"System, I think this method is almost perfect. I've also inquired about it. Jian Zhou will be back tonight. As long as he sees the eldest lady pestering Jian Chuan, he will definitely be disheartened."

"Well! The host is one step closer to the success of the strategy!"

Zhou Shuyue curled her lips, and an interface that others could not see clearly appeared in front of her. It was the system's props mall. Zhou Shuyue read page by page, delineating a few props that might be used later.

Gu Xiuyun was taken to the guest room, and soon the sobering soup was served.

Jian Chuan stared at him and drank.

Unexpectedly, he finished drinking, and he felt wronged somehow, and tears fell one by one. This night, he refreshed Jian Chuan's understanding of his good brother for many years.

Has he ever cried so much before?

Gu Xiuyun cried because he felt that Ji Yan was so good. Not only was she considerate and attentive, but she also touched his g-spot in every aspect. It was the first time that he wanted to have someone so urgently.

In his opinion, this turbulent emotion is love.

But he had no chance. She had declined him politely last time.

She likes Jian Chuan...

Gu Xiuyun actually wanted to wash and tie Jian Chuan and send him to her bed for her pleasure.

If Jian Chuan knew what Gu Xiuyun was thinking, he would definitely call him a madman.

But he liked her so much that he was willing to do anything for her.

"Jian Chuan, if you are a brother, please accompany me to a place."

He got out of bed, seemed to be awake, and spoke seriously.

After Jian Chuan hesitated, he nodded.

Zhou Shuyue has been secretly observing Jian Chuan. As long as he keeps an eye on Jian Chuan, he can always find opportunities for the eldest lady to contact him secretly.

As a result, she saw Gu Xiuyun and Jian Chuan entering the utility room.

Um?What were they doing there?

Zhou Shuyue didn't dare to get too close, so she watched carefully from a distance.

There was a movement in the utility room, and then a person came out.

The young master of the Gu family came out, but Jian Chuan did not come out.

The young master of the Gu family locked the utility room, his eyebrows were downcast, and his handsome face was filled with a dark aura. Zhou Shuyue was dumbfounded on the spot, and accidentally met those eyes. Her heartbeat suddenly skipped a few beats, and she didn't know what was going on. was not discovered by the other party.

However, Gu Xiuyun left quickly and did not come to find her.

Zhou Shuyue breathed a sigh of relief and lowered her head again, her palms already sweating.

what happened?

Didn't it say that the young master of the Gu family and the male protagonist are good brothers?

Will someone lock the best friend in the utility room?

What does he want to do?Why is the world becoming more and more strange?

Zhou Shuyue felt very uneasy.

The feeling was too strong, as if she had taken a fake script.

She was numb and stood there for a long time. No one noticed that Jian Chuan was locked in the utility room, only her.

Zhou Shuyue was worried that she might have seen it wrong. She walked over quietly while no one was around, and listened for a while with her ear against the door panel. Sure enough, there was a sound of struggle inside, and the male protagonist was really locked in by his good brother. !

Zhou Shuyue was very hesitant and didn't know whether to let the male protagonist out.

Just as she was hesitating, she heard footsteps coming back again.

Gu Xiuyun came with the eldest lady!

Zhou Shuyue hid in a corner again, planning to observe secretly first.

Gu Xiuyun was still drunk and said in a softer tone than usual: "Sister Yanyan, Jian Chuan has something to say to you. He said it is very important. I guess he wants to apologize to you."

Ji Yan said: "He has already apologized to me."

"Huh?" Gu Xiuyun was startled for a moment. He didn't expect Jian Chuan to move so quickly, so his tone couldn't help but become lower. "Maybe it's not an apology, but something else important. He's in there. Go in and take a look. Whatever he wants to say, I’ll wait for you outside.”

Ji Yan glanced at the utility room in front of her and felt that Gu Xiuyun was acting strange today.

Is it because of drunkenness?

"Why is the door locked from the outside?" she asked, tilting her head.

Gu Xiuyun said: "Who knows? He said he didn't want others to see him talking to you alone. He was afraid that his little girlfriend would find out and make her unhappy. I also scolded him just now."

This reason sounds a bit far-fetched.

Ji Yan knew that Gu Xiuyun would not harm her, and he had never lied to her. Ji Yan couldn't figure out why Gu Xiuyun might lie to her, so she complied with his wishes and played games with him.

He pushed her over and nimbly opened the utility room door.

It was very dark inside. Ji Yan raised her eyes and saw nothing. First she heard some strange movement.

"Brother Xiuyun, are you sure Jian Chuan is inside?"

Gu Xiuyun said "Yes" in a muffled voice, and then pushed her in.

The wheelchair slid forward. Before she could see Jian Chuan clearly, she heard a bang from behind, the door was closed again, followed by the sound of locking.

This utility room is a long time old. It was the storage room of the old housekeeper of the Ji family. It used a wooden door and an ancient lock. The lock is now a little rusty, but it is still strong.

Since the old housekeeper resigned, the storage room has become a utility room and public property. The servants of the Ji family can put unused sundries in it, but few people will put things here. I always feel that Public things are not safe.

There is a key in the lock and anyone can open it.

The space inside is quite open, with not much clutter, but the lights are broken and it's very dark, with only a small window at the end letting in light.

Ji Yan was a little surprised when Gu Xiuyun locked the door of the utility room.

After a pause, she saw Jian Chuan, who was handcuffed to the legs of the pear wood table.

He looked over at her, his lips also covered with tape.

The girl blinked blankly: "Master Jian?"

*

Zhou Shuyue covered her mouth and looked at the young master of the Gu family who was crying in front of the utility room door with a look of disbelief.

Is that what she meant?Is Gu Xiuyun helping the eldest lady and the male protagonist create opportunities to be alone?

Didn't he hate the eldest lady in the original novel?And he very much approves of the male and female protagonists being together. As for the eldest lady who causes destruction, he hates her as much as the male protagonist does.

How could he help the eldest lady?

There was no time for her to think, Zhou Shuyue saw Jian Zhou.

Jian Zhou came back. Although Gu Xiuyun's behavior was weird, his actions did help her indirectly and saved her a lot of trouble. Zhou Shuyue hurriedly looked through the props in the mall and finally spent a third of her points to redeem A prop called "The Lock That Can't Be Opened".

She used the prop on the utility room so that even if Gu Xiuyun regretted it, he would not be able to open the lock.

After using up the props, Zhou Shuyue glanced at Jian Zhou and then went to find Butler Lin Shen without stopping.

"Mr. Lin, you'd better go take a look in the utility room. I just accidentally saw Master Gu pushing the eldest lady into the utility room and locking her inside. It concerns the eldest lady's safety. Whether you believe it or not, It’s best to go over and take a look.”

Lin Shen immediately frowned, skeptical of Zhou Shuyue's words, but he glanced around and found that he did not see the eldest lady. The young master of the Gu family did come and take the eldest lady away just now.

He went to the utility room with Zhou Shuyue.

Gu Xiuyun was still there, looking struggling and regretful.

Zhou Shuyue did not take a step closer and said to Lin Shen: "I won't follow him, Mr. Lin. I'm afraid that if I expose his behavior to you, I will offend the young master of the Gu family."

Lin Shen nodded and let Zhou Shuyue leave.

He walked towards Gu Xiuyun: "Master Gu, why are you here alone, where is the eldest lady?"

As soon as he finished speaking, before Gu Xiuyun could answer, a girl's soft voice came from the utility room: "Lin Shen, I'm in there."

Gu Xiuyun's face turned pale.

Lin Shen was still polite and patient: "Where is the key with you? Master Gu."

"Yes." Gu Xiuyun finally regretted it and handed the key to Lin Shen with red eyes.

Lin Shen sighed, thinking that these rich young men were really crazy.

Lin Shen inserted the key into the keyhole and turned it several times, but failed to open the door.

Gu Xiuyun was also stunned: "Can't you open it? I opened it just now, let me try."

The key was passed back to Gu Xiuyun's hand. He lowered his head to open the lock, but couldn't open it. His palms were already sweating with anxiety, but he still couldn't open it.

The lock seems broken.

Lin Shen had also seen the key to the utility room, and had the impression that the one Gu Xiuyun handed him was real. It was not a problem with the key, but with the lock.

"The lock should be broken." He whispered, "It doesn't matter, just find a locksmith."

"It's all my fault." Gu Xiuyun cried again before the alcohol was over.

Lin Shen watched Young Master Gu cry and was shocked. He thought only the young master of the Jiang family could cry, but it turned out that Young Master Gu could cry too.

He stepped aside politely and dialed the locksmith's number.

Fifteen minutes later, the locksmith arrived at Ji's house.

"This lock is a bit weird. I can't open it no matter what. I'm sorry, Mr. Lin. My ability is limited. You can find someone else to try."

Lin Shen:?

The situation seemed to have become serious, and the guests noticed this one after another.

Lin Shen made a prompt decision, announced the end of the banquet, arranged for servants and bodyguards to send the guests off in an orderly manner, and quickly cleared the place.

Zhou Shuyue was not idle at the side and spread the news that the eldest lady was locked in the utility room.

Zhou Wan didn't like to attend banquets, and because of Ji Yan's circle of friends, he had been closed off for a long time. He heard the noise outside, so he came out to take a look and heard the news that Ji Yan was trapped.

There was such a big commotion, and it was impossible for Jian Zhou to be unaware of it.

He was silent for a long time before getting up and going to the utility room.

When Lin Shen saw him, he smiled: "Master Jian Zhou, you came just in time. Miss needs you very much now."

Among the people who came, only Jian Zhou was the one the lady really cared about.

Although Mr. Ji objects to the young lady being with Master Jian Zhou, Lin Shen personally prefers Ji Yan.

Jian Zhou remained silent, but also walked towards Butler Lin.

"What's going on?" Zhou Wan also came over.

"The lock is broken, Miss Ji is inside, we are going to break the door open now."

Gu Xiuyun hesitated to speak. He wanted to say that Jian Chuan was also inside, but he couldn't say it.

He watched everyone busy and found tools to cut open the door lock.

creak.

The door of the utility room opened, and the light came in, and everyone could see clearly what was inside.

...

ten minutes ago.

Ji Yan first tore off the tape on Jian Chuan's lips, but the handcuffs on his hands were not easy to remove. Ji Yan saw some keys on the shelf and guessed that the keys to the handcuffs might be inside.

Jian Chuan also said that Gu Xiuyun found the handcuffs in the utility room.

Jian Chuan's posture was uncomfortable, and his wrists were already red.

So Ji Yan lifted up her skirt, got out of the wheelchair, took two steps, reached for the keys on the shelf, and grabbed a handful. When she went back, she accidentally tripped over her skirt. The wheelchair was also knocked far away.

Ji Yan gave up her wheelchair, sat on her skirt, and tried the keys to Jian Chuan one by one.

Just none of them matched.

After everyone came in, they saw the girl kneeling and Jian Chuan squatting on the ground. The two looked very close. After the door was broken open, they looked over at the same time.

Jian Zhou was the first one to come in. Jian Chuan had not raised his head when he came in. He lowered his eyes and looked at Ji Yan. The look in his eyes was very special. He was no longer disgusted with her before. He had a different view of her.

Jian Zhou was stunned, and the scene in front of him suddenly became particularly dazzling.

She succeeded, she succeeded in making Jian Chuan's eyes fall on her again.

So when I said I liked him before, I was just trying to trick him, and it was never true.

Those beautiful eyes gradually turned dark and cold, and then turned away.

Ji Yan also stiffened for a moment. She lowered her eyes, glanced at the dirty skirt under her knees, and remained silent.

Jian Chuan apologized: "I'm sorry, I made him misunderstand you."
