Green tea with green plum

Tian Xiaxia was still whispering in Ji Yaoyao's ear, trying to figure out Gu Yun's recent emotional trends.

Ji Yaoyao's eyes flickered, and a voice vaguely appeared in her mind.

That was this morning, when she was sleeping soundly, it seemed that someone stroked her hair and whispered in her ear:

"Give me some more time, and soon I'll be able to..."

What will happen to her in a little more time?

Ji Yaoyao shook her head and stopped thinking about it.

Maybe it's just an illusion in my dream.

The half-month shooting time was not long, and in the blink of an eye, it was time to wrap up.

Different from the excitement and anticipation when it was finished for the first time, this time when Ji Yaoyao took a group photo with flowers, she only hoped that there would be no more accidents.

She really didn't dare to think about turning the tables against the wind and making a hit.

Zi said——The truth is plain and plain.

.

After the filming, Ji Yaoyao, who was physically and mentally exhausted, originally planned to take a vacation for herself, but who knew that she had only been lying in bed for a day, and she had to dress up like a dog because of the things Tang Ruoyun entrusted to her.

What Tang Ruoyun asked Ji Yaoyao to do was not difficult. Her stepfather's birthday was still more than half a month away. There were many calligraphy and paintings by famous artists in the auction tonight, so I asked Ji Yaoyao to buy one for her as a congratulatory gift.

This auction is very private, and the invitees are all so-called celebrities and nobles, but it is not difficult for Ji Yaoyao to enter the venue. After all, the venue of the auction is in Tang Ruoyun's private exhibition hall. An invitation letter in the front row.

It's just that Ji Yaoyao didn't expect that she would meet an acquaintance here, and there were two people at the same time.

Gu Feiran's position is next to her.

Across him, another position is Zhuang Mou.

The two arrived late, and in the dim light of the hall, Ji Yaoyao who was sitting on the seat was not seen.

After all, they are old acquaintances, but Ji Yaoyao recognized them at a glance, especially Gu Feiran, he seemed a little anxious, flipping through the auction catalog in his hand, not even noticing that the person next to him was Ji Yaoyao.

As for Zhuang Mou, because Gu Feiran's figure blocked his line of sight, people couldn't see his posture clearly.

Ji Yaoyao didn't want to read too much, she just flipped through the catalog on her own.

Soon, after a warm speech from the host, the auction officially started.

The first few exhibits were of average interest, Gu Feiran who was sitting next to him didn't make a sound, and Ji Yaoyao didn't move either.

Until Ji Yaoyao took a fancy to a blue and white porcelain vase, thinking of buying it back for her father as a show of filial piety.

The reserve price was 100 million, and soon someone raised a sign, and Ji Yaoyao raised the price slowly: "[-] million."

As soon as her clear voice came out, Gu Feiran followed the sound and turned her head.

Long time no see, Ji Yaoyao is doing much better than he imagined, with a long black dress and curly hair hanging on her chest, she doesn't seem to be afraid of the cold winter wind at all.

Although she is no longer the idiot who had to rely on her, Gu Feiran felt a little guilty the first second he saw Ji Yaoyao.

No one else, the last time Gu Yun concealed the news of her accident at the wedding, Gu Feiran still felt a pain in the face when he thought of his sister's slap.

Just when his thoughts were far away, Ji Yaoyao's voice sounded again in the hall, and she raised her sign again: "120 million."

Take it easy and take it easy on such occasions.

Heh, Gu Feiran didn't know what to think of, the shame in his eyes was replaced by something else, he stopped thinking about it, looked ahead, and turned his attention to the auction stage.

However, the two inevitably bumped into each other. When the host introduced the Ming Dynasty calligraphy and painting, Ji Yaoyao's eyes lit up. Isn't this the collection Tang Ruoyun wanted?

As for the starting price of tens of millions of calligraphy and painting, it was not in the scope of consideration at all, so she raised the sign without thinking.

Unexpectedly, Gu Feiran next to her raised the sign earlier than her, and the master of ceremonies immediately said: "Okay, Mr. No. [-] raises the sign once."

"Ten thousand and fifty thousand." Ji Yaoyao raised a sign and interrupted the master of ceremonies.

Gu Feiran didn't change his face: "100 million."

"Eleven one and a half million."

"Two million for 1000."

"Two million and fifty thousand in one thousand."

Ji Yaoyao clung to Gu Feiran's price and refused to let go.

The scene turned into a competition between the two, and the price was gradually raised to 2000 million.

Although everyone present is either rich or expensive, but 2000 million is for a calligraphy and painting, such a big deal is also staggering.

Gu Feiran glanced at Ji Yaoyao, and said with restrained anger in his tone, "Miss Ji is deliberately against me?"

The corners of Ji Yaoyao's lips twitched: "I dare not be that."

"Then you still..."

While Gu Feiran was talking, the master of ceremonies on the stage had already spoken: "One time for 5 million, two times for [-] million, two thousand..."

"Twenty-one million." Gu Feiran hastily raised his sign.

Ji Yaoyao smiled, then raised the price with a sign.

She just likes to see their Gu family smash their teeth and have to swallow them in their stomachs.

It is obvious that Gu Feiran is determined to get this collection, so Ji Yaoyao doesn't mind adding a bit of auction experience to him, and by the way, let the original owner of the collection make more money.

The price was raised all the way to 3000 million, and Ji Yaoyao accepted it as soon as it was good, and stopped asking for the price.

Gu Feiran successfully bought this Ming Dynasty calligraphy and painting at a price that was several times higher than the original price.

Although the Gu family did not lack this little money, Gu Feiran's face was so dark that water dripped from his face when he was taken advantage of once. As soon as the auction ended, he said to Ji Yaoyao from the root of his teeth: "Miss Ji, I really am I underestimated your ability to be successful no matter where you are."

"Really?" Ji Yaoyao remained unchanged, "Thank you for the compliment."

What kind of skill is this, if Gu Feiran knew that his respected sister Gu Yun was still entangled with him, wouldn't he be so angry that he would go crazy?

Gu Feiran had nothing to say, he sneered, got up and left his seat.

Now, the space between the two is vacant, there is no barrier between Ji Yaoyao and Zhuang Mou.

He has a good temper, so he just said indifferently: "Fei Ran still has a childish temper after all, don't blame Ms. Ji."

After saying this, Zhuang Mou also got up and followed out.

What's so strange about Ji Yaoyao, a classy person like Gu Feiran can be blown bearded and stared at by her, but unlike what he himself said, isn't she really capable?

In the following time, the two of them didn't come back. It seems that they came here specially for this calligraphy and painting.

It's just that Ji Yaoyao doesn't understand, in her impression, Gu Feiran loves sports cars and famous watches, when did he become so interested in calligraphy and painting?

She would not even know about the conversation between Zhuang Mou and Gu Feiran after Zhuang Mou left.

Sitting in the fast-moving car, Zhuang Mou comforted him: "Why, are you really angry?"

"I don't." Gu Feiran said sullenly, loosening his tie impatiently, as if he didn't want to talk about what happened just now, he asked instead, "Brother-in-law, you said that Mr. Wang accepted it?" With this pair of calligraphy and painting, will our bidding this time really go well?"

"Of course." Zhuang Mou's eyes flickered under the lens, "The partner, Mr. Wang, has always wanted to collect such a calligraphy and painting. This time we are safe."

"En." Gu Feiran absent-mindedly replied.

"Don't you believe it?" Zhuang Mou asked.

"It's not that I don't believe it..." Gu Feiran categorically denied it, he just felt... such a day is really boring.

In the past, with his sister in this position, Gu Feiran didn't have to worry about anything, he could only be a rich second generation who ate, drank and had fun with himself. Now that he really sat in this position, Gu Feiran realized that this position was far inferior to that in the eyes of outsiders. As bright as it is, there are many things to worry about.

The internal management of the company, external customers, menacing newcomers, and old employees who are lying on their seniority books, all have to spend their time mediating and dealing with everything. Gu Feiran is really a little tired.

He couldn't remember when was the last time he drove a car recklessly.

Seeming to see his anxiety, Zhuang Mou reached out and patted his shoulder: "Don't think too much, your sister said that if you have any questions, you can come to me at any time."

Gu Feiran responded sullenly, and when Zhuang Mou mentioned Gu Yun, he relaxed a little.

Although he is now in the same position as his sister was, the effect is completely different, and most clients don't have that much trust in his abilities.

Gu Feiran didn't know how his sister managed to secure this position, but he believed that as long as he took his time, he could do the same.

Besides, Brother Zhuang is still there, they are a family, what he means must be what his sister means, Gu Feiran never doubts his sister.

.

The collection at the auction will be sent to Ji Yaoyao soon.

In addition to the blue and white porcelain vase given to her father, there is also a blue and white vase with twining branches, which was photographed for Tang Ruoyun.

In addition, there is another calligraphy and painting, which is Ji Yaoyao's gift to Xia You's family.

Xia You had already whispered in her ear twice that the members of the Xia family really wanted to have time to meet her.

In fact, Xia You didn't say anything, but Ji Yaoyao could tell how much she wanted to introduce herself to her family.

Ji Yaoyao couldn't explain what was in her mind, so she agreed to Xia You's request.

The dinner was held at one of the most difficult restaurants in the city to book. Before leaving, Xia You played with the calligraphy and painting that Ji Yaoyao took, feeling very happy in her heart, but she didn't say: "Sister actually doesn't need to prepare this meeting gift specially for my mother. Yes, as long as people arrive."

"Didn't you say that my aunt likes it?" Ji Yaoyao's lips curled up, "After all, when we meet for the first time, we must leave a good impression on her."

The corners of Xia You's mouth curled up, and she hugged her regardless of whether she was in the car.

She tilted her head and said, "Sister, don't worry, as long as I like it, my mother will like it."

The girl's eyes were sincere, so warm and brilliant that one could not look directly at the sun.

Ji Yaoyao didn't know what to think of, her smile disappeared and she just nodded.

This time it was not a formal meeting, the elders of the Xia family were just Xia You's mother and a cousin who came to join in the fun in order to avoid the embarrassment of the scene.

As soon as they met in the restaurant lobby, Mother Xia hugged Xia You: "Hey, why are you losing weight again?"

"Mom—" Xia You didn't want to be treated like a child in front of Ji Yaoyao, so she forcibly broke away from Ji Yaoyao's arms. She hooked Ji Yaoyao's wrist and brought her to her mother, "This is what I told you Sister Ji who is very good to me."

Ji Yaoyao did not miss the momentary alertness in Xia's mother's eyes.

It is natural to think about it, there are no parents in the world who can accept the person who takes away their love from their children without any grievances, not to mention from their point of view, the family is not right, and someone like Ji Yaoyao is worth considering.

Ji Yaoyao accepted the scrutiny frankly: "Hi Auntie, you can call me Yaoyao."

Fortunately, Xia's mother immediately put on a friendly face: "I often hear our Yuyou mentioning you, but I never thought that the real person is more beautiful than the photo. Youyou is really lucky to have walked eight lifetimes."

She was talking on the spot, but Xia You took advantage of the situation and put her head on Ji Yaoyao's shoulder: "Who told your daughter to have such a good eye?"

"Okay." Mother Xia was really amused by her now, "Don't be shy, let's go, let's talk in the box."

Ji Yaoyao had a slight smile on her face from the beginning to the end, and walked forward with her.

This restaurant has a Chinese style, walk around the screen in the hall and go left, between the carved panes, you can still vaguely see people walking around.

Both privacy and elegance.

Sitting in the box, you can still hear the soft voice of Wu Nong, the waiter outside, making you feel like you are in the garden of Jiangnan scholar-bureaucrats.

If Gu Yun hadn't suddenly pushed the door and appeared, Ji Yaoyao might really be able to enjoy some delicious food.

When Gu Yun appeared, Ji Yaoyao was slowly blowing the hot water in the porcelain cup, seeing her calm face at all times, Ji Yaoyao couldn't help trembling, she didn't even notice that she was scalded by the tea.

Xia You also did not expect this scene, she first looked at Ji Yaoyao's face, and then looked at her mother with a puzzled expression.

But before Xia You asked, Gu Yun said lightly: "I heard that my aunt is also having dinner here tonight, so I'll stop by and visit, won't I disturb you?"

Ji Yaoyao tightly squeezed the teacup in her hand, so she didn't believe her nonsense.

"Where is it?" But Xia's mother was very enthusiastic, "Come on, I haven't seen Xiaoyun for a long time, sit next to Auntie."

As she said that, she wanted to introduce Gu Yun to Ji Yaoyao: "Yaoyao, this is the daughter of my aunt's friend's family, let's chat for a while, don't you mind?"

Ji Yaoyao's lips moved, she didn't know if she laughed or not: "It's okay."

"By the way, her surname is Gu, and her first name is..."

"Gu Yun——" Before Xia's mother finished speaking, she was interrupted by Gu Yun. She stretched out her hand, "It's our first meeting, Miss Ji, hello."

Ji Yaoyao felt that the blood in her whole body was congealed together, and her mind was blank.

She didn't know what she was thinking, but she stretched out her hand, "Hello."

Probably because he just came in from the outside, Gu Yun's knuckle-boned fingers carried a chilly feeling, which made Ji Yaoyao tremble uncontrollably.

Her slack thoughts gradually reset, and she saw clearly that the person in front of her was indeed Gu Yun.

She is like a devil, appearing in every moment of Ji Yaoyao's life.

Those who have made a deal with the devil will never get away so easily.

It was only then that Ji Yaoyao realized how stupid it was for her plan to break away from this old relationship by dating Xia You.

The hands that were held together did not separate for a long time, until Xia You finally recovered, grabbed Ji Yaoyao's wrist, and interlocked her fingers.

"It turned out to be Sister Gu." The hostility on Xia You's face was undisguised, "Why, are married women so idle? Meddling in other people's housework everywhere."

"Youyou!" Mother Xia didn't expect her daughter to be so rude, she became slightly serious, "What are you talking about, apologize to your sister Gu."

"It's okay." Gu Yun said and sat down, "After all, I'm still a child, so my aunt doesn't have to be so strict."

"You..." Xia You was so angry that she couldn't speak, she glanced at Ji Yaoyao, who was a little absent-minded, and finally chose to shut up.

The delicious dishes were quickly served, Xia You picked up the serving chopsticks, put a braised lion's head into Ji Yaoyao's bowl: "Sister, try the lion's head here, it's delicious."

"Thank you." Ji Yaoyao took a sip, but it tasted like wax.

Gu Yun was sitting across the table, Ji Yaoyao didn't even bother to raise her eyes, she just answered Xia's mother's questions from time to time, such as her current working status, the size of her family, and her future plans.

Even though she was mentally prepared to deal with her elders before coming here, at this moment, Ji Yaoyao's mind was in a mess, so she could only answer hastily.

Just when Xia's mother wanted to ask again, Xia You interrupted her impatiently: "Mom, didn't you say that you don't eat or sleep? Why don't you know the rules now?"

As she said that, she brought another bowl of pigeon soup to Ji Yaoyao: "Sister, try this, longan is added in it, it's delicious."

Ji Yaoyao took it, scooped it up with a spoon and took a sip.

The taste was really good, and her brows and eyes immediately relaxed.

It was only then that Ji Yaoyao realized her gaffe just now, and tried her best to make the scene less rigid, she said to Xia You warmly: "Auntie just cares about me, it's okay."

As she said that, Ji Yaoyao noticed that Xia You's bowl was still clean.

"Why are you so busy picking it up for me that you don't eat yourself?" Ji Yaoyao asked, picked up a piece of squirrel fish, dipped it in the soup, and put it into the Xiayou bowl.

After being so cared about by her, Xia You immediately softened like a balloon that was punctured by a needle.

With a broken star smile in her eyes, she took a bite of the fish: "It's delicious."

"Sorry, I still have something to do, I have to go first."

A cold voice suddenly interrupted the harmonious atmosphere between the two.

Ji Yaoyao lowered her eyes, but didn't look at the expression of Gu Yun who was speaking.

"Are you going to leave so soon?" Mother Xia also didn't expect it, she got up and sent the person to the door, "Then we will meet again next time when you have time, Xiaoyun, and say hello to your parents for me."

"Yes." Gu Yun agreed, and glanced at the room from the corner of the eye.

Ji Yaoyao was still burying her head in drinking the soup, without any intention of moving.

Gu Yun's eyelids drooped, covering the shadows in his pupils.

She turned away.

After Gu Yun left, the atmosphere in the box became much more harmonious. Everyone ate and drank, and returned to a calm state.

Until Ji Yaoyao's mobile phone placed on the table vibrated, she glanced at it, and suddenly froze.

It was Gu Yun's message: "I'll be waiting for you in the bathroom at the end of the corridor."

Ji Yaoyao gritted her teeth and pretended not to see it.

A few minutes later, another message came: "If you can't come within a minute, I don't mind going back and telling Xia You about our relationship."

Gu Yun is a lunatic!

Ji Yaoyao cursed secretly in her heart, and put down the spoon in her hand.

The porcelain spoon made a crisp sound when it collided with the soup bowl, which was particularly eye-catching in a quiet room.

Under the watchful eyes of several people, Ji Yaoyao picked up her mobile phone and pulled away the chair: "Sorry, I'm going to the bathroom first."

"I'll be with you." Xia You didn't think twice.

"No need!" Ji Yaoyao hurriedly stopped her movements, "I'll be back soon."

As she said that, she seemed to be afraid of being followed by Xia You, and left the room in a hurry, so that she didn't hear the conversation between Xia You and her mother behind the half-hidden door: "Mom, didn't you agree that our family will have dinner? What? Gu Yun will come again?"

"Your elder sister Gu has a lot of knowledge and a good eye for people. She offered to help me take a look. I agreed. If there is any problem..."

.

In the winding and winding corridors, the location of the bathroom was hard to find. When Ji Yaoyao hurried in, her face was blushing, and her heart was about to jump out of her throat.

Before he saw Gu Yun's figure, he pulled her back with one hand, and then, Ji Yaoyao was shackled in a familiar embrace.

She saw Gu Yun smiling in her ear in the huge plane mirror: "I thought you wouldn't come."

Her tone was low, she couldn't tell whether it was regret or something else, her belching circled around Ji Yaoyao's neck, like a wandering poisonous snake, looking for where to bite its prey.

"Why don't you talk?" Gu Yun looked greedily at Ji Yaoyao's disoriented side face due to panic, her voice faded away, "Ji Yaoyao, do you really dare—"

"Why don't I dare?" Ji Yaoyao's body was clearly trembling, but she forced herself to speak, "Gu Yun, you just want me to break up with Xia You, so I can't do what you want."

She wanted to hold herself firmly in the palm of her hand, but Ji Yaoyao broke her wings and flew out. Even if the appearance of breaking free was not very good, it was better than catching her without a fight.

Seeing Gu Yun's pale face suddenly, Ji Yaoyao felt a sense of revenge: "Isn't it just to meet the parents, there are still many things that Xia You and I can do together in the future... Hiss..."

Before Ji Yaoyao finished the rest of her sentence, she took a deep breath.

There was a tingling pain from the teeth biting down on the neck, and Gu Yun's force was extremely ruthless.

She couldn't bear to hurt her, so she could only bite the little bit of skin that was no more than the size of a fingernail, and rubbed it hard, while wrapping her hands around Ji Yaoyao's waist, so that she would never have the slightest chance of escaping.
