After He Jiaojiao finished speaking, she threw herself into Xia Muring's arms, rubbed her with her little head like a spoiled child, then turned her head and called softly, "Hello, Aunt Ruchu."

He Jiaojiao's face is pink and tender, so cute that people want to pinch it.

Jiang Ruochu softened her voice and responded gently, "Jiaojiao is fine."

Xia Mu Ning now felt that compared to that brat Xia Chengxi, He Jiaojiao was a little angel, so cute that her heart melted. She bent down and hugged the little girl: "Don't be angry, don't be angry. I'm not angry at all. Jiaojiao, don't worry about me."

He Jiaojiao coaxed Xia Muring and hugged Jiang Ruochu lightly: "Aunt Ruochu, I miss you so much. You haven't come to see me for a long time."

Jiang Ruochu also hugged her: "It's my fault. Didn't I come to see our Jiaojiao today? You are so beautiful today, and you have grown a little taller."

"Of course. I eat well every day and never pick and choose. Mom said that only in this way can I grow up quickly."

"This is the gift I brought to you."

He Jiaojiao's eyes were full of surprise: "Do I have a gift too?"

"I thought... I thought I wouldn't have a gift today." He Jiaojiao said the last sentence in a very soft voice, like a mosquito's buzz.

But Jiang Ruochu and Xia Muning still heard it clearly.

Xia Muning felt a little sad and guilty.

Since Xia Chengxi was born, he has won more attention and attention from his family. Even He Jiaojiao's mother would ask He Jiaojiao to give in to her younger brother every time there was a conflict between her daughter and nephew because of Xia Mingchen's death. As a result, Xia Chengxi received more love, and it could even be said that he was favored.

In the past, whether it was He Jiaojiao’s birthday or Xia Chengxi’s birthday, both children would receive gifts.

But last year, Xia Chengxi made a scene, saying why his sister also had a gift on his birthday, shouldn't they all be his? He should be the star of his birthday party.

Originally, Xia's parents were a little angry and felt that Xia Chengxi was unreasonable.

But Shu Huijie explained with red eyes that Xia Chengxi was scolded for not having a father in kindergarten, and he was in a bad mood.

Xia's parents immediately lost their temper and began to feel sorry for their grandson, so Xia Chengxi's birthday party was extra grand this year, just to support their grandson and vent their anger.

At that time, Jiang Ruochu also heard Xia Muring talk about this. She felt that the Xia family doted on this grandson a little too much. It was estimated that when he grew up, he would not become a successor, but instead a lawless little bastard.

However, everyone in the Xia family gave in to this little bully, but Jiang Ruchu would not agree.

He Jiaojiao often thought of her, and whenever she won a prize at the school garden party, she would save a share for Jiang Ruchu.

If she treats Jiang Ruchu well, Jiang Ruchu will naturally treat her well too.

In Jiang Ruochu's opinion, children's unreasonable requests must be rejected.

If Xia Chengxi was angry in the kindergarten, he should have found the kindergarten teacher and the parents of the child who scolded him, instead of letting him vent his anger and causing He Jiaojiao to suffer undeserved disaster.

But after all, this was an internal matter of the Xia family, and she, as an outsider, could not interfere, so at that time she just took He Jiaojiao out to play for a day.

At this time, He Jiaojiao had already excitedly opened the gift, which contained a set of English poetry and fairy tale picture books.

He Jiaojiao's eyes lit up, and she couldn't let go of the cartoon character on the cover.

"Thank you Aunt Ruochu!"

"I love the gift you gave me! I've already solved half of the nine-ring chain you gave me last time!"

"That's great! Once you've solved all the puzzles, remember to tell me and I'll give you a new set of toys."

He Jiaojiao nodded vigorously: "Okay, okay."

"Only the gifts you give me are my favorites." Every time He Jiaojiao received gifts, they were little skirts, Barbie dolls and the like, but she didn't like these gifts.

Jiang Ruochu rubbed her head: "Wouldn't it be sad for others to hear what you said?"

He Jiaojiao blinked, then put her arms around Jiang Ruochu's neck and whispered in her ear, "I'll only tell you, not them. When they give me gifts, I'll always act very happy."

Jiang Ruochu's smile deepened. She scratched He Jiaojiao's nose and said, "Little clever ghost."

Xia Mu Ning was overwhelmed when she read the English book. She covered her eyes and said, "Jiao Jiao is really amazing. I am ashamed of myself as your aunt."

He Jiaojiao received the praise and smiled so much that her eyes curved into the shape of the moon.

Xia Mu Ning glanced at the bustling crowd and said, "My cousins ​​are here, let's go over there."

"Okay." Jiang Ruochu did not forget that he had important things to do, so he said goodbye to He Jiaojiao. He Jiaojiao happily went into the house with a book in her arms.

Then Jiang Ruochu turned around and wanted to call Ye Sha, but saw that the tall and proud Ye Sha was looking down, carefully studying the ants moving.

The most important thing is that there were three good-looking girls around him with sweet smiles. They chatted with him enthusiastically, but Ye Sha was unmoved and all his attention was on the ants.

This forced the girls to change the topic and start watching the ants with him.

Jiang Ruochu: "..."

Xia Muring has been distracted these days and has no time to appreciate the handsome guy. But now that she feels that she is getting closer to the truth, she has the mood to care about other things.

"Where did you find this funny bodyguard?"

Jiang Ruochu told Xia Mu Ning that Ye Sha was the bodyguard assigned to her by the company.

Xia Muring had no doubts and kept expressing her admiration for the good benefits of their auction company. She didn't expect that Zhai Lu was so generous.

Jiang Ruochu was not afraid that Xia Muring would ask Zhai Lu. With Zhai Lu's shrewdness, even if Xia Muring really asked, he would be able to react immediately and help her cover it up.

However, Zhai Lu would most likely suspect that Ye Sha was her kept gigolo, but because it was difficult to say it openly, she said he was a bodyguard.

Well...it doesn't matter. She doesn't care about being misunderstood by Zhai Lu anyway.

As for Ye Sha, he probably doesn't care about this kind of thing at all.

Jiang Ruochu just glanced in the direction of Ye Sha, and he noticed it. Then he ignored the girls around him and walked over.

Seeing this, Xia Mu Ning praised him again: "You are very smart. You knew to come here with just one look!"

Jiang Ruochu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Don't you have anything to brag about?"

"Well... Actually, the fact that you look handsome is enough. Why do you need a bicycle?"

When those girls saw Ye Sha walking towards Jiang Ruo Chu, they immediately realized that he was taken and they all showed regretful expressions. It was obvious that they had misunderstood the relationship between Ye Sha and Jiang Ruo Chu.

After Ye Sha came over, he took the initiative to say: "They asked me for my contact information, and I gave them yours."

Jiang Ruochu took out her phone and took a look. She found that there were indeed three reminders to add friends. She immediately had a heart attack: "If you want me to die, you can just say it directly. There's no need to be so roundabout."

Ye Sha was confused. What did this have to do with wanting Jiang Ruochu to die? The human race was really weird.

Jiang Ruochu felt that Ye Sha had too many things to learn in the human world, and he couldn't explain them all in a short time, so he said, "Let's do the business first."

Xia Muring has six cousins ​​in total. The eldest, second and fourth are from her great uncle, and the third, fifth and sixth are from her youngest uncle. The sixth is only twenty years old this year. Five years ago, he was only fifteen years old, so he can basically be ruled out.

All that's left is to choose one from five.

There were a bunch of Xia family relatives there, so it was impossible for Xia Muring not to go over. She patted Jiang Ruochu and said, "Take a closer look. I'll go over first."

After Xia Mu Ning finished speaking, she took a deep breath and entered her relatives' "masquerade ball".

Yesha yawned: "Are all human gatherings so boring?"

"Hmm?" Jiang Ruochu responded absentmindedly while observing.

"They are all so hypocritical and fake. The demons never do such useless things."

Jiang Ruochu smiled and said, "Humans naturally have their own survival rules. This birthday party may seem like an ordinary gathering, but in fact everyone has their own purpose. Whether it is useful or not depends on how you look at it."

"Look at those men in suits over there. Are they here just to attend a kid's birthday party?"

"Of course not. They came here for the Xia family's business, so they brought their whole family with them. We gave them enough face so that we can cooperate with them in the future."

"This party is actually filled with everyone's desires. You can tell who is begging whom, who hates whom, and who loves whom. You can tell from it all."

"If your goal is just to defeat your parents and rule the demon world, then it's actually very simple. Just rely on your fists. Whoever has the stronger fists has the final say. But if you want to rule the demon world, you can't just rely on your fists."

"The real strength of the demons is not that their desire to absorb is not affected, but that they can control the desires of others and use them for their own benefit."

"Or do you think I asked you to come here just to protect my safety?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Sha showed a hint of interest and began to observe carefully along with Jiang Ruochu.

When Ye Sha's mind was opened and he followed Jiang Ruochu's advice to observe the desires of these people and study whether these desires could be utilized by himself, he suddenly felt that the party was not so boring anymore.
