The delicate green leaves on the thorny vine are beautiful, and among the leaves, heart-breakingly white camellia flowers are quietly blooming. The flowers are pure white, clean as jade, obviously heart-breaking, yet extremely beautiful, with a pale charm, like a touch of beauty in spring, quietly blooming with elegance.
He himself did not like the camellia flower, as he thought it was sad, but Xinya liked it very much and even planted a cluster of it outside the window of his study.
He laughed and said, "When the camellia flowers are in full bloom, I will imitate Fan Zhen in the Song Dynasty. Under the camellia frame, flowers will fly and wine will be drunk. The camellia flowers will fall on the wine, and the wine will float on the flowers. The fragrance of the camellia flowers will be very beautiful. Isn't it beautiful?"
Compared with the beauty of the end of the tea blossom, he prefers the red of the crape myrtle for a hundred days.
He lowered his head and gently carved the silver hairpin in his hand. The clusters of silver hibiscus blossomed into gorgeous white flowers, and almost every texture on the petals was carved delicately and perfectly.
A group of footsteps, neither deep nor shallow, slowly approached. Si Yiyan did not even raise his head, only focusing on the actions of his hands.
Gu Yuehan watched his men's movements, which had gone from clumsy at first to skilled at it. Under his skillful hands, the silver ore gradually revealed its beautiful and gorgeous outline.
He still remembered that when Jiu Shao first started learning carving, his hands were covered with wounds almost every day.
At that time, he also advised Jiu Shao: "Jiu Shao, if you want to give Miss Wen a gift, we can find the world's top jewelry engraving master. Why do we have to do it ourselves?"
At that time, Jiu Shao's answer was: "In my lifetime, there are many things that I have never done before, or even didn't want to do. I am now willing to try to do them for her. It's just a small decoration. What others have done, I can do as well."
"Something?" Si Yiyan put down the tools in his hand and asked calmly, but his eyes were fixed on the silver iris in his hand. The clusters of silver flowers blossomed out of her pale skin, and the strings of flowers hanging from the edge were his most perfect masterpiece. He could almost imagine that the two clusters of flowers hung down to her ears and temples, swaying gracefully beside her ears as she walked slowly, like the enchanting hairpins.
Xinya's beauty is a kind of prosperous and graceful beauty. The flowers in the sky are so gorgeous that no other gorgeous colors can highlight them.
From the paleness to the allure, from the burning beauty to the radiant beauty, this is her beauty.
Only when things get darker do you realize how gorgeous the flowers are.
Gu Yuehan pulled back his wandering thoughts and replied, "The head of the Ivanov family, Amo Gong, personally invited you to attend his 70th birthday."
Years ago, Young Master Jiu and Miss Wen went to Nantong, and had some unpleasant encounters with Anatoly of the Ivanov family. After that, Lucifer began to interfere in some JH businesses in the east and central regions. Lucifer has absolute authority in the central and east regions, and the Ivanov family suffered considerable losses as a result. This time, Grandpa Amo personally put aside his face and invited Young Master Jiu to attend his 70th birthday, but he intended to seek peace.
Si Yiyan frowned slightly and said nothing.
Gu Yuehan continued, "Mr. Amo is willing to give 20% of the Ivanov family's JH business to Lucifer, and also mentioned that the mayor of the capital of Country E will attend his birthday banquet, so please be sure to attend."
There are three meanings here. Inviting Jiu Shao to attend the banquet is a request for peace, giving up 20% of JH's business is a retreat, and mentioning the Ivanov family's support means using courtesy before force.
Si Yiyan raised his beautiful eyebrows to his temples, and said with a calm and sharp tone: "Mr. Amo is cunning and greedy. It's rare that he would be so generous." He changed the subject and said lightly: "Just refuse it."
Gu Yuehan hesitated: "Lucifer is a recluse. If the relationship with Country E becomes too strained, it will not be good for Xia Si's company."
Gu Yuehan knew that the series of measures taken by Jiu Shao against the Ivanov family were all due to the anger of his beloved.
Si Yiyan's face was cold, and his eyes revealed a look of insight into the world: "Amo Gong is rushing to give us benefits like this, do you think it's really to show his goodwill? He is just under pressure from the mayor. Who wouldn't covet the oil in the central and eastern parts? The new mayor wants to promote cooperation with Lucifer on oil resources to gain political achievements for himself so that he can participate in the election conference. These two old guys are more cunning than the other. Talking about cooperation with them is tantamount to seeking the skin of a tiger."
Gu Yuehan's cold face was filled with astonishment: "Young Master Jiu is right."
He couldn't help feeling a little ashamed that he didn't see through such a simple question because he had a prejudice against Jiu Shao in his heart. He believed that Jiu Shao was angry because of his beloved, so he disregarded Lucifer's interests and insisted on fighting with the Ivanov family.
Si Yiyan said calmly: "Once Lucifer really accepts the benefits offered by the Ivanov family, then he will inevitably form a relationship of interest with the Ivanov family. With the help of the mayor, the Ivanov family will gradually erode Lucifer."
How could he not know what Gu Yuehan was thinking? He would not comment on it, because although he would not disregard Lucifer's interests, the balance in his heart did lean towards Wen Xinya.
Gu Yuehan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Young Master Jiu's suppression of the Ivanov family is also to show his own attitude and demonstrate Lucifer's strength, so as to maintain Lucifer's transcendent status in Country E. In this way, both the Ivanov family and the mayor of the capital will be afraid of Lucifer and dare not act rashly."
Si Yiyan nodded, his eyes turned cold, "Just tell Amo Gong directly, how can you resolve the hatred of humiliating your wife and humiliating yourself?"
Gu Yuehan said, "I understand. I will call Amo Gong in a moment and tell him your intentions, Jiu Shao."
Si Yiyan asked calmly: "Anything else?"
Gu Yuehan said calmly, "Miss Wen's room has been redecorated, and the clothes and accessories you requested have also arrived. Do you want to go over and take a look?"
Si Yiyan placed the hairpin in her hand on the stone table under the flower stand, slowly stood up and said, "Let's go! Let's go take a look."
Gu Yuehan was not surprised at all. Jiu Shao was always extra careful about matters concerning Miss Wen.
The layout of the room is somewhat similar to Wen Xinya's boudoir in the Mo family, but the items inside are more valuable than those in the Mo family's boudoir. The furnishings in the room remain the same as before, but his things have quietly moved into this room.
Si Yiyan opened the door of the cloakroom, which had a brand new feeling. All the shoes in the cupboard had been replaced with shoes suitable for her age and season, and all the jewelry, the latest models on the market were placed in the most conspicuous position.
He opened the cloakroom again, and Meili's eyebrows were relaxed with a happy arc.
His clothes were placed closely next to hers, and the indescribable sense of intimacy immediately pleased him.
