When Gu Xiyu woke up the next day, he was still the only one on the bed, but the white cat was no longer there.
The phone's battery was only ten percent, and dozens of missed calls were displayed, all from Gu Xun and Xu Caiting.
He pressed the screen off without calling back, rubbed his cheeks and sat up from the bed, staring at his toes exposed outside the quilt for a long time.
There was an extra bottle on the table by the window. After he got up, he walked over to pick it up and took a look, and found that it was medicine related to eye diseases.
Does Ji Chen have bad eyes
The curtains were open, and he could just see the man coming out of a small branch not far away through the window. He held the phone by his ear and his lips moved slightly, surrounded by a white cat who was running and shaking his body.
I don't know if it was a coincidence or if the other party was keenly aware of his gaze, the man in the call suddenly raised his head and his gaze met him exactly.
"Yes, tell Mr. Andry that I want to meet him in advance to talk about the transfer of shares." Ji Chen walked out of the courtyard while speaking in a low voice, stuffing his trouser pocket with the other hand. , put the key in his palm in.
"Gu's family? It has nothing to do with Feng Ming, so you don't need to help me deal with it."
After speaking, he suddenly raised his head, his eyes fell on the window on the third floor of the mansion in front of him, and the smile on his lips deepened: "I want to see who dares to intervene."
After Gu Xiyu washed and changed his clothes, he walked towards the door.
The world is very foreign to him, and staying in Ji's house and Gu's house is just as uncomfortable. It's just that he is now more or less a guest as a junior, so it's not good to stay in the room for too long.
"Yeah, that year's drama performance was really risky, but it was also very successful..."
As soon as Gu Xiyu opened the door, he met two people who happened to be talking and laughing in the corridor. The moment he saw what one of them looked like, he subconsciously closed the door with a 'bang'.
The boy next to Ji Zixuan looks a lot like Fu Nian
"… "
Calm down, Fu Nian probably doesn't know that the original body likes him, and emotional troubles shouldn't fall on him, so there's no need to worry.
After preparing himself mentally, Gu Xiyu opened the door without changing his face, and nodded to the two people outside the door who were stunned: "Good morning."
The attitude is natural as if what just happened was just an illusion.
"... Xiyu?" The flaxen-haired boy came back to his senses, his tone even more surprised.
"Long time no see, Fu Nian." Gu Xiyu greeted him calmly.
Ji Zixuan hesitated: "You know each other?"
Fu Nian smiled generously: "Didn't I mention to you before that I met a very good friend when I went to China to study in middle school? It was him."
Seeing a little doubt on Fu Nian's face, Ji Zixuan explained: "Didn't I just tell you that my uncle is married? You are still curious about what kind of person can be attracted by a big devil like my uncle, he is that object."
Gu Xiyu was caught by the words in Ji Zixuan's mouth: "Great Demon King?"
Ji Zixuan thought he was angry for Ji Chen, and explained: "Sorry, it's mainly because we met my uncle several times when we were abroad before, and his attitude has always been indifferent, and I've heard many of him in business rooms. Some ruthless means, so Fu Nian gave him such a name in private."
Gu Xiyu gave a rare laugh: "It doesn't matter, it's quite suitable."
After he finished speaking, he noticed that Fu Nian's eyes were always on him, and when they looked at him, the gentle and sensible boy nodded to him: "Long time no see, I didn't expect that we would meet again in this way. , I was a little surprised."
After Ji Zixuan knew about the relationship between Gu Xiyu and Fu Nian, his attitude towards Gu Xiyu became a lot more friendly and close, at least he was no longer the same as when they first met, and his attitude was alienated and cold.
People of the same age always have more topics to talk about when they get together, and Fu Nian is a more careful person, probably knowing Gu Xiyu's situation, he will deliberately throw topics to him. Although Gu Xiyu doesn't like to chat, but in front of him one is the male lead and the other is the male second, he doesn't mind making friends with them.
The closer it was to noon, the more people in the Ji family mansion.
Some of them are immediate family members of the Ji family, while others are some branches or distant relatives who are invited to the Ji family as guests.
Most of the guests were very interested in him after knowing that he was Ji Chen's partner.
But the way they show interest is not well-intentioned.
"Ah? It turns out that you graduated from a domestic university. I have never heard the name of the university you mentioned."
Gu Xiyu said calmly: "The resources of domestic universities are also good, and many times they are no worse than those abroad."
"Gu's Technology? There are many big companies with Gu's name. Which one is your father's?"
Gu Xiyu: "It's just a small personal company, it's not enough to talk about."
"I thought Ji Chen's vision would be higher, but I didn't expect... ah, sorry, I didn't say you were embarrassed, please don't care."
Gu Xiyu: "His eyes are really not very good."
Otherwise, he wouldn't be directly attracted to the person who was going to mess with him.
It's annoying, but it's actually okay for him, after all, he's just a passer-by in this world, and the attitudes of those people won't affect his way of life.
Until a middle-aged uncle with a small beard under his nose sat down on the single sofa and glanced at him with a disgusting tone: "I used to think that Ji Chen was just withdrawn, but at least he was a normal person. , I didn't expect that he is also a mentally ill guy who actually likes men."
"Sir, liking the same sex is not a disease."
"I hope you can read more related books or materials before you make a statement about one thing in the future, so that it will not make you appear uncultured."
Ji Chen just heard the two words Gu Xiyu said to one of his uncles from the study upstairs. The tone and attitude sounded good, but the content was particularly direct and ruthless.
The middle-aged and elderly people on the sofa stood up angrily and scolded: "This is how you talk to your elders? Sure enough, what kind of character matches what kind of person, and Ji Chen, who has such a bad mother, will look for it. You're such a horrible person!"
His voice was a little loud, and almost everyone in the hall stopped talking and looked at them in astonishment.
The raised slap didn't hit Gu Xiyu.
The uncle's hand was gently squeezed by Gu Xiyu, and he was no longer able to resist. He looked at him with no anger, but only doubts: "I don't know the things about your Ji family, but objectively speaking, even if Ji Chen His mother really did something bad, what does it have to do with him?"
Human minds and emotions are always so complicated, and after living for so long, he never understood.
When the other party was asked by his serious tone, he was stunned for a moment, and said angrily: "Why doesn't it matter? It's not good for him to beat his brother until he can't get out of bed in the hospital for the rest of his life. son!"
Ji Chen leaned against the wall at the entrance of the stairs and looked at Gu Xiyu silently, as if the things they were talking about had nothing to do with him, he was just a bystander to join in the fun.
After a brief silence, Gu Xiyu suddenly replied, "Then he's still too light."
As he spoke, he let go of the hand of the person in front of him, and he didn't mind that other people in the hall were watching him, and added warmly, "If I had a brother like that, his grave grass should be one meter tall now. "
"When the third wife was found cheating on the little white face outside, the fifth young master was only one year old and had just learned to walk and talk. He was so young and didn't know anything, so he would start to suffer from the disgust of his biological father, as well as his siblings. bullying him."
The old butler probably regarded him as someone who could really bring 'happiness' to Ji Chen, or he finally had someone to talk to. After delivering coffee to Ji Chen last night, he dragged him in the corridor again. A corner said a lot.
"Other people say that he is too cruel to the young master, but who knows that he has been bullied by the young master before high school? The worst time was when he was less than ten years old, and his hands were broken when he was trampled on. Well, it took a long time to get better, and now as long as the weather is cold, you will suffer."
"He didn't cry at that time, he sat alone in the back garden, and in the end it was the hospital where I found him bleeding all over. I asked him why he didn't ask for help, and he told me that because he knew what to say, he wouldn't. Will get any help. He was so small at the time, but his head was clearer than anyone else. If he didn't go back to the house, he just had to remember those things carefully, and then he would know how to get it back."
"It's obviously just the age when he should go to school carefree, but he has never experienced the word 'happiness' when he is so old in this parent."
It is said that hateful people must be pitiful, and it is probably his embarrassing past that makes Ji Chen a hateful person in the eyes of others.
"You... you you!" Gu Xiyu's rebuttal words really didn't give face to the Ji family, stunned the other crowd watching.
But he didn't have the intention to pay attention to the content of their broken words, because the system's prompt happened to sound at this time.
"The target's risk value is -5, and the current risk value is 70."
Gu Xiyu saw Ji Chen at the entrance of the stairs, the latter was wearing the dark clothes he saw in the morning, leaning against the wall, looking at him with eyes that were so dark that he couldn't tell his emotions.
Before he could react to Ji Chen's attitude, the cold voice of the intelligent system came over.
"There's definitely something wrong with this evaluation process."
Gu Xiyu wondered: "?"
But the system did not answer him again.
Ji Chen raised his hand to cover half of his face, lost in thought.
There must be something wrong with the evaluation process.
He repeated to himself again in his mind.
How could he be easily pleaseed by Gu Xiyu's words for not giving his uncle face
"The wife is here!"
Lin Fangru's appearance interrupted all the quarrels. She only glanced at Gu Xiyu, who had caused quite a stir, and said nothing. She may not know exactly what happened, or she may know but not care.
"I'm here with everyone today, mainly because I want to officially announce the old man's will to everyone in the Ji family."
Ji Yan, the head of Ji's hometown, died of illness not long ago, and his will has not been made public until now, and Lin Fangru finally let go. After receiving her instructions, the lawyer in charge stood up with the will and began to read it.
Most people in the Ji family don't care about the distribution of property. What they care most about is the candidate for the new head of the Ji family. The Ji family has a great business, if they don't come with a person who can convince them, how can they suppress everyone.
Although in fact, according to the current situation, except for Ji Chen, who grew up alone to the point where other people dare not provoke them easily, whoever takes that position will have opinions. But as long as Ji's family knew about the bad relationship between Ji Chen and Ji Yan, it was basically impossible for him to get that seat, and in this case, there were not a few people who thought they had the ability to inherit, so everyone on the court had different thoughts.
Gu Xiyu, who knew the result through the system introduction in advance, was very calm.
The conflict between the goals of this world and the protagonist officially begins after the will is announced.
Ji Zixuan was designated by Ji Yan to succeed the new head of the family and take over all the properties under the Ji family, and he was only a 25-year-old young man. The moment the result was announced, he naturally got a lot of questions from the side.
"Zixuan? He's so young and he hasn't achieved much in the world for a while. Is he really competent?" Sure enough, when the lawyer read out Ji Zixuan's name, everyone in the hall started chatting.
Lin Fangru said unhappily: "What do you mean by not having great achievements? How many companies has Zixuan stabilized for Ji's family abroad over the years, and how much cooperation has he helped Ji's family get, which has increased the income of Ji's foreign branches, and even climbed the Foreign reports, aren't these enough to prove his ability?"
"It's not that we don't agree with the old man's decision, it's just that you think, Zi Xuan is still too young, and he has just returned from abroad."
"What we mean is that before he thoroughly understands the operation of all the Ji family's industries, should he bring some more experienced elders to assist him in the management of the Ji family?"
Lin Fangru sneered: "Do you think that you still need a regent to manage the government in ancient times? Don't think that I don't know what you're thinking. I'm assisting and assisting, why don't you just climb on your head?"
"Oh, don't think like that either..."
Only Ji Chen and Gu Xiyu, who were 'husbands', stood side by side without any communication.
Gu Xiyu noticed Fu Nian's gaze, who was sitting next to Ji Zixuan. He approached Ji Chen a little and said, "Aren't you surprised?"
Ji Chen looked directly at the noisy crowd in front of him, and said casually, "It was expected."
Gu Xiyu was quiet for a few seconds, and then asked him in a low voice, "Then are you angry?"
This time, Ji Chen finally turned his head to look at him. After a short pause, he smiled inexplicably: "I'm very angry, do you want to coax me?"
The system suddenly pops up an automatic notification.
"Special order has been triggered."
special order
“After the special instruction is calculated by the main system through the feedback in the background, it is inferred that it is very likely to alleviate the danger (threat) value of the target and contribute to the follow-up development of the task executor. There is no fixed danger value that can be reduced after the completion of the special instruction. Values, everything is random, please do your best, host.”
As soon as Gu Xiyu listened to this explanation, the instructions were sent over.
"Special order: Please host to find a way to make the target happy."
Gu Xiyu: "?"
Is this underworld system kidding him

Ji Chen: ? I am not unhappy.
