Fatal temptation

The Zhanjia dinner was held in the old house.

This is a villa in the middle of the mountain, with a single door and a courtyard, with a radius of [-] li, and no one is inhabited.

I don't know why Mr. Zhan chose this place for the villa. Could it be that he wanted to live in seclusion completely and not care about world affairs?

In Zhan Qi's words, "If it wasn't forced, who would come to this ghostly place?"

yes……

Cheng Simu got out of the car, stood outside the courtyard and looked up at the villa, feeling that it was like the legendary vampire's castle, mysterious, full of temptation, and frightening.

They were a little late, and most of the guests had already gone in.Cheng Simu and her parents stood at the door waiting for her elder brother to park the car and go in with them.

Cheng's parents looked very right, they stood there harmoniously, with a dignified air, they were not ordinary people at first glance.And their son, Cheng Simu, is even more graceful, with an outstanding temperament.As soon as such a combination appeared, it naturally attracted countless eyes.

Therefore, during the period before they went in, they had already dealt with several waves of people who came to say hello.

Especially since this was Cheng Simu's first appearance after ten years, it naturally attracted those noble ladies and young ladies to come to inquire.

Cheng Simu was very annoyed, and kept a cold face the whole time, causing Mrs. Cheng to secretly wink at him.Just when he was about to explode, Brother Cheng appeared in time and rescued him.

"Big brother."

"Stop it, let's go in." Cheng Siqin patted Cheng Simu's shoulder, and walked in ahead of them.

This Young Master Cheng looks seventy percent similar to Cheng Simu, but gives people a completely different feeling.As the youngest ministerial-level cadre, he will of course appear to be a bit mature in character, otherwise he will not be enough to convince the public.

So as time passed, the gap between his brows became deeper and deeper, and he could only smile in front of Cheng Simu, his only real brother.

When they went in, of course, the dinner party had already begun.

In the huge living room, nobles standing in twos and threes talking and laughing with each other, all holding a goblet in their hands, either quietly waiting for the main event, or exchanging messages with each other.

On the white spiral staircase, there are two rows of people standing neatly, playing the so-called tasteful European music.The crystal chandelier above the head is also so bright that people can't keep their eyes open.

All of this is completely different from the bleakness outside the door, as if you have suddenly stepped into another world full of flowers.

But Cheng Simu knew that this was the real hell.

"Xiaomu, you and Grandpa Zhan will come down later, go and say hello to him with your father."

"Okay." Cheng Simu was bored, and when she heard Mrs. Cheng's words, she answered absent-mindedly.

He misses Jiang Yiran in his heart, he has been out for so long, how is he doing?Have you taken your medicine and rested well?

I don't know why, since he entered this villa, his heart has been in a state of ups and downs, and he always feels that something is going to happen.

He was thinking that he would find a chance to escape after seeing Grandpa Zhan present his birthday gift.He was really fed up with that group of hypocritical people, they all came to inquire about his marriage one by one. After hearing that he was doing business abroad, they all pretended to praise him, but he couldn't hide the calculation in his eyes.

He was upset when he suddenly heard a very flat voice, "Hey, isn't this Xiao Simu? Why don't you come to your uncle's house after returning to China?"

It turned out to be from Jiang Shi!

"Uncle Jiang."

"This child, why didn't he say hello when he saw his aunt?"

"..." Cheng Simu not only ignored her words, but also became more and more angry in his heart.

The tragedy of Jiang Yiran's youth was caused by two women, one was his biological mother, and the other was the smiling woman in front of him.

When he thought of the past about Aran, he felt pain in his heart, how could he have a good face towards her.

He only asked Jiang Shiren to go to the corner and say something to him, "Uncle Jiang, Yiran is ill, I hope you can take time to visit him."

"What? Yiran... has returned to China?"

"..." Cheng Simu suddenly didn't want to say anything.A person who doesn't even know that his son has returned to China, let alone know that his son has been sick and hospitalized twice, no wonder he is played by such a woman in the applause.

"Simu, don't leave. Tell me, what happened to Yiran?"

Cheng Simu had no choice but to stop, "Didn't your wife report to you? She has already sent an assistant to look over it."

"..."

For the rest, he doesn't need to say more.He thought, if Jiang Shiren still has some IQ, he should immediately understand what's going on.

At this time, the main event begins.

Surrounded by the juniors of the Zhan family, old man Zhan slowly descended the spiral stairs while leaning on a cane.

He is 70 years old, with gray hair and wrinkled face, but his eyes are full of insight, which reminds people that he was once a half-life general.

"I haven't seen you for many years, but the old man still looks handsome."

"The old man has never held a birthday banquet in the past few years. What do you think is the reason for this sudden big fanfare?"

"Unworthy descendants. The third father and son of the Zhan family have done a lot of tricks in the past ten years. They really think everyone else is a fool."

……

Cheng Simu had been standing not far away, listening indifferently to the whispers around him. He raised his eyes and saw that Zhan Qi looked like a dog today. He was wearing a custom-made white suit and a dark blue bow tie at the neckline. Really like a little prince.

Of course, ignore his evil eyes and rotten heart.

"Thank you for coming to my father's birthday banquet in spite of your busy schedule, please have a good time tonight."

"This opening remark, what's the matter, it's not the third child's turn to speak, right? I didn't see the boss is still there."

But no matter what they think in their hearts, at least everyone has a very face-saving look on their faces, and they have stepped forward to congratulate and send gifts carefully prepared by their respective families.

Mr. Zhan smiled kindly, as if he was very satisfied with such a crowd of stars, and all the members of the Zhan family behind him were also beaming, and kept greeting and thanking those who came to congratulate.

Only Cheng Simu noticed that Zhan Qi quietly went upstairs again when everyone's attention was not on him.

He was about to follow up to see what he wanted to do, but someone held his shoulder.

"I wish Uncle Zhan a happy life and a long life." Patriarch Cheng came forward with his two sons to say hello, and handed the gift to the servant who was waiting beside him.

"Good! Good! How is your father? How is his old rheumatism?"

"My father is still in good health, but he always misses you. He said that the old brothers haven't been together for more than ten years."

"Hey, why don't I want to get together? It's just that I'm old and my bones are lazy."
