"What if I refuse to complete the order?" This was the first question Gu Xiyu considered after listening.
The automatic answer jumped out again.
"If the host refuses to complete the system's instructions or tasks, it will be treated as a rebel and given a certain degree of punishment."
"… "
This mission was completely different from what he thought.
Gu Xiyu's head hurt a little.
He felt that he was more suitable for the kind of straightforward task that only required a knife to hack the enemy to death.
He glanced at Ji Chen beside him resentfully, only to see him staring forward with one hand on his chin, as if he was slightly lost for something.
"This is the decision of the old man. No matter how much you say, you can't change the fact. Lawyer, please continue to talk." Lin Fangru's not very loud but very powerful voice interrupted everyone's discussion.
In fact, in addition to not believing in Ji Zixuan's ability, the opposing side is also deliberately trying to find it unhappy because of psychological imbalance. Now that the goal has been achieved, Lin Fangru also has the attitude that they will be angry if they continue to talk, and they calm down for a while.
Gu Xiyu heard the names of Ji Yan's other children and grandchildren from the will, including this mansion was also left to Lin Fangru.
Until the end, it was Ji Chen.
The five million yuan and the small courtyard separated from the main house were the only inheritances Ji Chen received. And this is because Ji Chen can only get it after he gets married. If he is still single now, he probably won't get a penny.
Even Ji Yan's little granddaughter, who is only a few years old, can get several hundred million yuan and a piece of land as a dowry after turning 21, and there is a high probability that it will increase in value later.
The amount of five million is indeed not small, but for a big family like Ji's family with a fortune of tens of billions, it is only a small amount. Especially since Ji Chen is also Ji Yan's own son, it is indeed too much for him to be so blatant.
But this is someone else's family matter, and Gu Xiyu is not qualified to give advice from anyone's point of view.
Ji Chen was very calm, even if he received strange looks from other people, he didn't mind. He even took his mobile phone and started sending messages to people, probably because of work.
But Gu Xiyu was standing beside him, maybe others couldn't see it, but he could sense the gloom in Ji Chen's eyes to some extent.
Rather than being sad, it was more like being disheartened and on the verge of breaking out.
Gu Xiyu suddenly asked, "Ji Chen, are you short of money?"
Ji Chen stopped tapping his fingers on the phone screen and asked, "What gave you the illusion?"
"Since there is no shortage, there is no need to care about the part that others donate."
When Gu Xiyu said this, his eyes were still on the noisy Ji family, and even his tone was very light.
This was the first time Ji Chen noticed that Gu Xiyu always had a gentle look in his eyes, no matter how high his mood was.
It's not a gentleness towards an individual, it's more like... an attitude he has towards his own life, towards the world.
"Money earned by oneself is more fulfilling, isn't it?" The moment his eyes suddenly met, Ji Chen subconsciously looked into Gu Xiyu's lighter eyes, and a kind of inexplicable flashed in his heart. It was so familiar that he accidentally sent out the unedited information with a trembling of his hand.
He looked down and saw the conversation between him and Jinke.
Assistant Jin: [I just received news that Mr. Andrei and Mr. Gu's father's company had a conflict. His character is more cautious, if he misunderstands that you have a cooperative relationship with the Gu family, I am afraid that he will refuse this transaction. Now that you and Mr. Gu have obtained the certificate, you want to deal with the Gu family better. Do you need to follow the plan you said before?]
Ji Chen looked at the message he had just accidentally sent, and clicked the retraction before Jin Ke replied.
Jin Ke's news just jumped out: [Okay.]
'Assistant Kim retracted a message'.
C: [I'll make plans for the Gu family's affairs. First, I will put down the marriage of Gu Xiyu and me. When the contract is signed, it will be too late for him to go back on it.]
Assistant Jin: [Okay.]
Ji Chen exited the chat page, but when he tried to find out the weird feeling that had arisen in his heart just now, he couldn't find it.
The lawyer in the hall has read Ji Yan's will and is packing up. Lin Fangru also stood up with the help of Sister Liu, and was talking to Ji Zixuan next to her. Ji Zixuan's expression is very serious, it can be seen that he does not really want to take power directly, and he is also under certain pressure for such a decision.
Gu Xiyu, who was talking to him just now, is no longer there. In the blink of an eye, he didn't know where he went.
"May I borrow the kitchen, please?" When Gu Xiyu came to the kitchen, there was only one servant who was busy beside the sink.
She glanced at him and took her eyes back: "please feel free, just don't break things."
Gu Xiyu doesn't seem to have coaxed anyone since he was conscious, and his thoughts on the system's instructions are very direct, that is, as long as the target can be happy.
And the way to make the target happy, doesn't it have to start with the things he likes
The messy introduction about Ji Chen that was sent by the system that day finally came into play. Gu Xiyu learned from the information that Ji Chen especially likes to drink coffee-like beverages, and his requirements are very high.
It seemed too dishonest to buy a cup directly. In order to ensure that the order could be completed, he decided to make a cup by himself.
Gu Xiyu's days in the Administration were relatively leisurely. Generally, he didn't need to do anything when nothing major happened, so he had a lot of time to study other things.
For example, he likes to use his spare time to get himself some drinks and sweets, or to research new dishes on a whim. When he concentrates on these things, his mind will become calmer, and being immersed in that atmosphere is a way for him to relieve stress.
By the time he started grinding coffee step by step and finished with latte, he was the only one left in the kitchen.
Gu Xiyu just picked up the small cup with milk foam when a person suddenly walked in.
He took time to look at it, and found that Fu Nianhou didn't care, he lowered his head and started to move.
Until Fu Nian walked up to him and said something to him.
"I saw the love letter you stuffed in the album back then."
Gu Xiyu shook his hand, and the little tiger that had gradually formed on the surface of the latte cracked directly.
He held the cups for a few seconds before slowly setting them down on the table without changing his face.
… Grass.
What love letter
Fu Nian saw that Gu Xiyu didn't look at him but stared at the cup with a dignified expression, worried that he would become angry, so he said again, "Don't worry, I'm not here to refuse or tell you."
"Speaking of which, I was really surprised when I first discovered it. If I hadn't taken out the handmade photo album you gave me that day and looked at it carefully, I probably would never have found the stationery you tucked behind that photo in my life."
Gu Xiyu's face was expressionless, and his mood was turbulent.
Why didn't the original body mention this in the diary
No wonder Fu Nian always had an unspeakably weird expression when he saw him this morning. When Ji's family was in a meeting, they glanced at him and Ji Chen from time to time. He originally thought that Fu Nian, as a friend of Ji Zixuan, was helping him pay attention to the situation and attitude changes of future strong competitors, but he didn't expect... Maybe it was because of this
Gu Xiyu was in the midst of a huge shock, and when the kitchen fell into a strange and quiet atmosphere due to Fu Nian's sudden confession, a crisp sound broke the embarrassment.
It also pushed this embarrassment to another peak.
Ji Chen leaned against the entrance of the kitchen and looked at them, holding a small mountain of cookies in his hand. Those artisan cookies were caramelized and looked thin and crispy, and squeaked when you put them in your mouth.
Gu Xiyu: "..."
How long has Ji Chen been standing there
He pursed his lips and asked the system in his heart, "How much do you say he heard?"
The intelligent system, which has always asked three questions, gave a positive answer this time: "I heard it all."
Ji Chen chuckled: "Go ahead, don't mind me, I just happened to pass by."
Gu Xiyu's head started to ache again.
Although, he knew that Ji Chen had no relationship with him, but outsiders didn't know. As for a man like Ji Chen, he is a very good-looking man at first sight. Even if he doesn't like him, can he endure the feeling of being cuckolded
As if to echo Gu Xiyu's idea, the system's automatic notification jumped out the next second.
"The target's danger value is +10, and the current danger value is 80."
Gu Xiyu: "..."
This thing didn't move when Ji Chen was slapped in the face by the inheritance.
Fortunately, Fu Nian is a person who is very knowledgeable about current affairs. Ji Chen's appearance temporarily interrupted his intention to have a good talk with Gu Xiyu: "I will make an appointment when I have time. My contact information has not changed."
After Fu Nian left, Ji Chen was still eating the little biscuits he got from somewhere.
Gu Xiyu looked at the latte that had failed completely, and was angry at Ji Chen's soaring dangerous value just now, so he didn't redo it for him. After he walked to the table, he pushed the latte to him: "Here for you. "
"It turns out that you've been busy here for a long time, and you're making something for me." Ji Chen raised his eyebrows, took a small bowl from the side and poured all the biscuits in his hand into it, washed his hands by the sink, and then came back .
Gu Xiyu knew the metaphor in his words, so he didn't answer.
This man is good. When he came back, he looked at the cup and asked, "I guess, are you drawing a pig or a dog?"
Gu Xiyu faced him expressionlessly: "If you don't drink it, you will fall down."
Ji Chen took a sip, surprised: "It's pretty good."
Gu Xiyu didn't answer any more and went to wash the cup spontaneously.
Ji Chen looked at his back full of depression, and his mood was inexplicably and uncontrollably changed for the better.
"Special order completed."
The automatic notification of the system suddenly popped up, and before Gu Xiyu had time to be happy, he added another sentence.
"The target's risk value is -1, and the current risk value is 79."
Gu Xiyu: "?"
His movements of rubbing the cup were a lot heavier, and those who didn't know thought he was rubbing against an enemy.
If it is full, he can stab people to death directly at that time.
"The five million your dad gave you can just be used for the wedding banquet between you and Xiyu. No matter what you say, you are a well-known person, so you can't perfunctory." Before Ji Chen and Gu Xiyu left Ji's house, Received a reminder from Lin Fangru.
Gu Xiyu took the opportunity to look in the direction of the small courtyard, and the servants of Ji's house had already begun to move Ji Chen's things there.
"Okay." Ji Chen agreed readily, and gently helped Gu Xiyu open the front passenger's door.
Lin Fangru said with a stern face again: "You can also bring him to the party at the Four Seasons Hotel next weekend. It can be regarded as an introduction to those old acquaintances first, and a vaccination."
Ji Chen responded and watched Lin Fangru walk to the door of the house, when he happened to see Fu Nian who was talking to Ji Zixuan at the door.
His gaze was absent without a trace.
"Where to go back?" Ji Chen was the first to break the silence when the car was halfway through.
Gu Xiyu looked at the phone that had been turned off, and replied, "Gu's family."
There is probably still a mess at home waiting for him to deal with.

The author has something to say:
Gu Xiyu: Extremely mean.
Ji Chen: Don't worry, I will give you a lot in the future, you have to ask for it.
Gu Xiyu: ...
