"Huh?" Lu Yao asked subconsciously and glanced sideways at Jian Chengli. This was only an afterthought. He just asked her what she thought of Ji Guanxin.
Lu Yao didn't answer but asked: "Which aspect are you talking about?"
Jian Chengli said: "Just look at him."
Lu Yao said: "He has a pretty face, his eyes are moving around, and he looks like a fox."
In fact, she didn't say a word. Ji Guanxin's eyesight is too dark. It simply ruined his good skin.
Jian Chengli heard Lu Yao compare Ji Guanxin to a fox, speaking from appearance. He raised his eyes slightly and said, "Do you think he is good-looking?"
Lu Yao answered very sincerely: "One size fits all. I don't like him. But he is indeed good-looking."
She couldn't tell lies with her eyes open.
Jian Chengli couldn't help but snorted coldly, and then said: "I really don't know what taste you women have."
Before Lu Yao could answer, Qi Ji went out to pick them up. He was wearing a light linen shirt and ginger trousers. When she smiles, there are shallow pear dimples on both sides of her cheeks. Compared to Jian Chengli's temperament, which looks colder. Whether Qi Ji smiles or not, he gives people a warm feeling.
"Cheng Li, Yaoyao."
Lu Yao raised her lips. He smiled and called: "Stepbrother."
Qi Ji looked at Lu Yao at a glance. He smiled and said: "Yao Yao is so beautiful today."
Lu Yao still smiled lightly: "Thank you step brother."
Jian Chengli, who was standing next to her, said: "Why are you thanking him? He praises whomever he catches."
Qi Ji raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't criticize me. Who else should I praise besides Yaoyao?"
Jian Chengli said the names of five or six women without blinking an eye, and then asked him: "Did you say these words?"
Qi Ji was choked by Jian Chengli. He choked for a moment before saying, "Those are just polite words. I really mean my compliments to Yaoyao."
Jian Chengli snorted, and then said to Lu Yao, "Have you seen his humanity?"
Lu Yao just smiled and said nothing.
The three of them entered the VIP private room upstairs together, where a table of people was already sitting. They were all friends of Jian Chengli. They all knew Lu Yao, so they greeted her out loud.
Lu Yao responded one by one. When facing Su Shanyun, whose temperament was obviously different from that of the men on the table, and who exuded a warm and bookish atmosphere, she smiled and called: "Seventh Brother."
The Su family is a well-known scholarly and musical family in the Night City. His father and mother are calligraphers and cellists respectively, and his grandmother and grandfather are writers and piano masters respectively.
Su Shanyun has been influenced by it since he was a child, and his temperament is naturally different from that of these young men. As for why Lu Yao called him Seventh Brother, it was because he was the seventh eldest child in the family.
Seeing Lu Yao, Su Shanyun had a beautiful smile on his elegant face and said, "Yao Yao, I haven't seen you for a while. Have you grown taller again?"
Lu Yao almost raised her high heels to show him, but later she realized she was wearing a skirt. She smiled and replied: "It can't grow any longer. I'm quite satisfied with this height."
After saying hello to Su Shanyun, Lu Yao couldn't help but cast her eyes on Guan Wan not far away. Guan Wan is not yet twenty years old this year. She looks very pure and cute, like Yamaguchi Momoe in her youth.
Wearing a white dress, she smiled at her, nodded and said, "Hello, Miss Jian, I am Guan Wan."
Lu Yao knew her and knew that Jian Chengli was attracted to her.
Lu Yao raised her lips and nodded with a smile: "Hello, my name is Lu Yao. My surname is Lu, not Jian."
As soon as these words came out, the expression on Guan Wan's face was naturally a little embarrassed. How could she know that Lu Yao and Jian Chengli had different fathers and mothers.
He glanced at Qi Ji next to him with pleading eyes. Seeing that Qi Ji didn't say anything right away, Guan Yuan had to bite the bullet and change his words: "I'm sorry, Miss Lu."
Lu Yao's expression remained unchanged and she smiled lightly and replied: "It doesn't matter."
Seeing that the atmosphere in the room was a little strange, someone smiled and changed the subject and said, "Yao Yao is so beautiful. If you ask your brother to sign you directly after graduation, you will definitely become famous in the future."
Jian Chengli took Lu Yao to sit down. When he heard this, he said indifferently: "Obviously she can rely on her face to make a living, but she has to rely on her brains. When she graduates, she will come to me, but she will not be an artist. But be a reporter.”
Lu Yao had already sat down, and Jian Chengli was halfway there. Qi Ji suddenly stood up and said, "Cheng Li, your seat is over here."
Lu Yao and Jian Chengli looked up at the same time and saw that the person sitting next to Qi Ji was Guan Wan.
Jian Chengli glanced at Lu Yao subconsciously, then smiled and said, "It's okay, I can sit anywhere."
Qi Ji said: "Huh? Didn't you always say you want to discuss cooperation with Miss Guan? I specially invited Miss Guan here. Come on, come on, you sit here with me, and I'll sit over there with you. I happen to be so tall. I haven’t seen Yaoyao for a while, I want to chat with her for a while.”
While he was talking, Qi Ji had already walked over. He stretched out his hand to pull Jian Chengli and winked at him. Jian Chengli also half-pushed him, got up and walked to the opposite side.
Lu Yao watched him sit next to Guan Wan, and Guan Wan smiled politely at him: "Mr. Jian."
Jian Chengli nodded and replied with a smile: "Miss Guan."
Qi Ji sat next to Lu Yao. He looked at Jian Chengli and Guan Wan opposite him and said, "Once you get to know each other twice, you don't need to be so formal. You should talk about work and life, and you don't need to care about us. It would be better if we were air.”
As soon as these words came out, everyone laughed. Jian Chengli glared at Qi Ji: "You talk a lot in the whole room. If you shut up, I will treat you like air."
After saying that, he looked at Lu Yao again and said, "Yao Yao, let them pick up whatever you want to eat."
Qi Ji immediately answered: "Don't worry, I will take care of Yaoyao. Just take good care of Miss Guan."
Lu Yao sat on the chair with her back straight. There was no mirror in front of her, but she could feel that she always had a smile on her face.
This was not the first time that she had watched Jian Chengli pick up girls with her own eyes. In fact, when Jian Chengli was seventeen years old, he had brought other women to his home. He was caught up by her when she returned home unexpectedly, and he promised to buy them for her later. He ate the mango mousse cake and asked her to look out for him and not to tell anyone else about it.
Over the years, he has had as many girlfriends as she knows from three or four football teams. At first she would hide and cry silently, but when sadness became a habit, she could no longer shed tears.
She really felt soft-hearted for a moment and was coaxed here by his sweet words. But sitting here, she had to watch him show off his affection with other women. She couldn't blame anyone else for what happened, it was all her own fault, and no one would feel sorry for her if she told her.
Lu Yao lowered her gaze slightly, really wanting to take off the contact lenses from her eyeballs. When the eyes are out of sight, the mind is out of trouble.
Before the food was served, Qi Ji chatted with Lu Yao. After the food was served, he was even more considerate and almost enthusiastic, wanting to put every dish in front of her.
Lu Yao would not stop him, but said habitually: "Thank you."
Opposite them, Jian Chengli and Guan Wan also hit it off like old friends. It can be said that they had a very happy conversation.
At such a large round table, many people were talking. Lu Yao tried desperately to ignore the voices of Jian Chengli and Guan Wan, but she became more and more afraid of something.
She heard Jian Chengli say to Guan Wan: "Miss Guan, actually I admire you very much and have always hoped to have the opportunity to cooperate with you."
Guan Wan smiled and replied: "To be honest with Mr. Jian, I told my agent today that if there is an invitation from Tian Cheng, you must tell me in time. I have long wanted to cooperate with Mr. Jian."
"Really? Then we really hit it off."
"I think it is really not easy for Mr. Jian to take charge of an entertainment company at such a young age. If it is possible, I would like to know how Mr. Jian has gone through this journey since he founded Tiancheng."
"That's really a long story..." Jian Chengli said with a smile.
There was a smile on Guan Wan's delicate face, and she said softly: "It doesn't matter, as long as Mr. Jian has time, I am willing to hear the details at any time."
Lu Yao has been in Jian's family for ten years, and Jian Chengli is also good to her, so she knows all the people close to him. But that doesn't mean she can blend in. In fact, all she could do while sitting here was laugh with him besides eating.
Qi Ji kept adding dishes to the plate in front of her. If one plate couldn't fit, he asked the waiter to bring another one.
Lu Yao's stomach started to feel clogged even after she had eaten a few mouthfuls. Finding a suitable opportunity, she stood up, and Qi Ji beside her asked, "Where are you going?"
Lu Yao whispered: "I'm going to the bathroom."
She stood up and walked out. Jian Chengli looked up at her back. Guan Wan followed his line of sight and then smiled and said, "Mr. Jian, your sister is so beautiful."
Jian Chengli looked away, with a touch of imperceptible pride in his eyes, and said with a slight smile: "Miss Guan is also very beautiful, she is also a beautiful woman, do you still think other people are good-looking?"
Guan Wan nodded: "Of course, good-looking is good-looking. What's more, Mr. Jian's sister is much prettier than me. I can't admit it even if I want to."
The curve of the corners of Jian Chengli's lips widened, and he said with a smile: "You're welcome, Miss Guan, but please don't say this in front of her, she will be proud."
Qi Ji, who was opposite, saw the two of them chatting all the time. He raised his voice and asked: "Why are you two chatting so lively? I told you to treat us like nothing, do you really take it like that?"
Jian Chengli glanced at it and replied half-truthfully: "Miss Guan and I are talking about a very important topic. Why are you interrupting?"
Qi Ji smiled and said, "What are you doing? You think I'm redundant? Don't forget that I was the one who set you up."
Jian Chengli looked away in disgust and ignored him. Guan Wan smiled and said, "I know, I appreciate Young Master Qi's kindness."
When Qi Ji heard this, he realized that there was something going on between the two of them, so he smiled and joked: "It's useless for you to be grateful. You have to let Cheng Li appreciate it. His happiness may make me chase Yaoyao."
As soon as these words came out, the smile on Jian Chengli's face became a little uncontrollable and became slightly stiff.
