Oops! The sickly Mr. Gu fainted again

With each flattery, the wealthy elites all raised their glasses to toast Gu Yuchen with Ji Yan's so-called high-end French inventory. Ji Yan's words, "We must treat the nobles from City A well, as City B will still rely on Mr. Gu in the future," made everyone raise their glasses to show their faces in front of Gu Yuchen and establish a relationship.

Gu Yuchen picked up the wine glasses and drank them one by one, calm and composed. The people around him were all bigwigs from various industries, most of whom were seniors or even elders. No matter how capable he was, he couldn't lose face in such an occasion. Besides, this cocktail party was organized by Ji Yan for his jewelry exhibition tomorrow, so it was not an exaggeration to say that it was organized for him. He couldn't refuse.

But Ye Xingyao had seen how he endured yesterday, so she would not believe that Mr. Gu in front of her was really fine. She had been carefully observing him secretly, and found that his lips had begun to turn slightly pale, and a little sweat had seeped out of his forehead. If she hadn't known that he had just been sick last night, it would have been difficult for her to notice his abnormality.

A few more drinks. Ye Xingyao couldn't bear it any longer.

Not to mention that he had stomach problems and was in excruciating pain yesterday. Even if it was a normal person, who could stand this?

But why did Brother Ji Yan do this? Is it just normal socializing?

She didn't understand, she just knew that Gu Yuchen really couldn't drink anymore.

"Mr. Gu..." Seeing Ji Yan was about to pick up the wine glass again.

"Ji Yan, I feel a little bored and want to go to the rooftop. Can you accompany me?" Ye Xingyao interrupted Ji Yan who was about to speak, holding Ji Yan's arm with both hands and swinging slightly left and right. To others, they were simply a couple in the passionate love period.

She actually started to act like a spoiled child for Gu Yuchen. A look of disappointment and shock flashed across Ji Yan's eyes.

"Okay, okay, I'll go with you. Mr. Gu, I'll leave you first." Ji Yan quickly adjusted his state and gently comforted the girl beside him. Then he was pulled away by Ye Xingyao.

On the rooftop.

"Do you know Gu Yuchen?" Ji Yan asked casually as soon as he got on the rooftop.

"I don't know him..." Ye Xingyao answered hesitantly. She didn't know whether this counted as knowing him or not.

"It turns out that my sister Xingyao has learned to lie after not seeing her for so many years." Ji Yan turned around and looked at her with a smile.

Ye Xingyao was puzzled.

"What? You felt so sorry for him that you blocked the wine for him, and you still want to say you don't know him?" Ji Yan narrowed his eyes and said with a smile like the bright moon.

Ah, he found out after all.

"It's not that I feel sorry for him! He was sick last night and can't drink too much!" Ye Xingyao tried to defend herself anxiously, but she didn't expect to let the cat out of the bag.

"Oh? Last night? I told you, and you said you didn't know each other." Ji Yan looked at the girl in front of him with interest, looking forward to her explanation.

But Ye Xingyao did not explain further.

At this moment, Ji Yan's mind was filled with the scene of this morning. When he reviewed the list of people for the cocktail party last night, he found that Xingyao was also on the invitation letter, and he was overjoyed. So he found out her hotel room number and bought a large bouquet of flowers, ready to give her a surprise for the first time in the morning. But as soon as he walked out of the elevator door, he saw Gu Yuchen, with his black coat draped over his arm, walking out of a room with a shaky step, and then turned to another room next door. Ji Yan walked closer and saw that it was 3806, and the room he came out of was Xingyao's room.

He couldn't believe it and wondered why Xingyao was with Gu Yuchen. So he could only set up this trap of sending her a dress as a female companion, hoping to use this method to determine the degree of their relationship and at the same time take this opportunity to get in touch with Xingyao. In order to get this dress that suits her, he contacted a luxury brand on the spot, bought out their annual show model that had not yet been released, and chose a size that best suited Xingyao.

Fortunately, Xingyao agreed to be his female companion. At least it showed that they were not in the relationship that Ji Yan was worried about.

Ji Yan actually has always liked Xingyao. It's just that Xingyao has always followed him and called him brother since she was a child, and he is really a few years older than Xingyao, so he has to treat Xingyao as a sister. But he doesn't want to be Xingyao's brother. This time when he returns to China, he just wants to stand by Ye Xingyao in another identity.

"Brother Ji Yan, did you organize this cocktail party?" Ye Xingyao didn't want to answer Ji Yan's question about Gu Yuchen, so she deliberately changed the subject.

"Yes. It's specially done for President Gu who loves you so much." But Ji Yan kept pursuing him and he got back to the point.

She didn't dare to ask any further, fearing that he would bring her back to the same question again.

But then again, Brother Ji Yan is already one of the most influential financial figures in City B, so why did he hold a cocktail party just for Gu Yuchen? And judging from the situation just now and the clues in Ji Yan's words, Gu Yuchen is actually above Ji Yan.

Who is he?
