When the cup is lightly touched, there is a crisp and short "click".

The private conversations here are reserved, low-key, inconspicuous, and happen "peacefully" and naturally.

Regarding Shao Yubai's unreasonable invitation, Ji Cen'an responded with a dumbfounded expression, calmly put away his hand, and put it in vain.

He has become accustomed to his flamboyant and domineering temperament, and is familiar with Shao Yubai's personality, knowing that this is deliberately playing tricks to lure himself into the bait, setting a trap for her to jump down.

At any rate, they are friends for more than 20 years. They got along day and night when they were young until they grew up.

Ji Cen'an didn't fall for the trap, he didn't want to be led for a walk, no matter what Shao Yubai said, he would go in one ear and out the other.

Shao Yubai didn't mind, seeing that she ignored him, didn't even answer him, and didn't get angry, he drank the champagne in one gulp, stretched out his exquisite and three-dimensional facial features, and smiled, pretending to be very satisfied and happy.

After this round of toasting, Ji Cen'an turned to his seat, put down the drink in his hand, and took a break for a while.

Averting his eyes, Shao Yubai went to the nearest middle-aged lady, and calmly changed a communication partner, as if the chat with Ji Cen'an just now was just a formality, and he didn't care too much about Ji Cen'an.

Nan Jia, who was two seats away, was calmer than them. Although he didn't hear the specific content of the conversation, he could roughly guess a little bit, and he could see Shao Yubai's plan.

It was not the first time he had experienced a similar scene. Shao Yubai had used this trick in the past few years, and he provoked it more than once or twice.

Facing the bright provocation, he didn't show any opportunity to take advantage of it, and he was much calmer than expected.

On the way, Shao Yubai passed by Nanjia, came to the front, stopped for a while intentionally or unintentionally, and glanced at Nanjia once with his eyes hanging.

The corners of the mouth are raised, but the enthusiastic smile does not reach the eyes, there is some emotion hidden, but the leaked hostility cannot be felt.

Nanjia raised his head and said softly, "Mr. Shao?"

Shao Yubai said frankly: "No, just stand for a while."

Nanga rolled out a stool and motioned for a seat.

Generous and decent, I can accept this person's appearance.

But Shao Yubai didn't sit down, and turned around the next moment to go elsewhere.

As always, he did not accept Nanga's kindness, it was the same five years ago, and it will still be the same five years later.

Ji Cen'an went over, and when there was no one around, he asked softly, "When can I leave?"

Nanjia looked at Sun Mingtian and the others, turned his head to the other side, and replied, "It's still early, we'll see later."

"Anything else?" Ji Cen'an asked.

Nan Jian hummed: "I have to talk to them later."

Ji Cen'an said: "With whom, or Sun Mingtian?"

Nanga: "Anyone else except you."

Now that it has been settled, all the remaining bosses will have to discuss further and continue to negotiate terms without Ji Cen'an present.

Ji Cen'an didn't receive the news, and she was excluded a long time ago, and she didn't want to get involved, and didn't care much about how they would deal with the follow-up, that was out of her scope of consideration.

"Okay." Ji Cen'an replied, "Come find me when it's over."

Nanjia nodded slightly and said, "Drink less, don't fall down."

A word of caution, I don't want to take care of a drunk, for fear of accidents and mistakes.

Ji Cen'an said, "I know."

"Be smart and pay attention to yourself... don't do bad things." Nanjia's lips moved, her demeanor was elegant and quiet, full of ladylike temperament, but when she looked at Ji Cen'an from the corner of her eyes, she was the opposite, calm and reserved, more than anyone else. Sober and sensible.

He didn't speak too bluntly, just warned Ji Cen'an, focusing on the present, and the other details are secondary, with a strong purpose.

Such an occasion is not suitable for reminiscing about the past, nor is it the time for Ji Cen'an and his friends to miss the past.Nanjia doesn't care about those who have or don't, and let them do whatever they want, and can ignore Shao Yubai's little tricks, but they don't allow anything to go wrong tonight, and there can be no confusion at all.

It was extremely difficult to bring Ji Cen'an here, and it took so much energy to lay out the story. If you fail at this juncture, you will fall short. All the previous efforts will be folded in, and it will be all in vain.

Those old things are not easy to fool, if this continues, they will definitely be found to be abnormal.

Sun Mingtian was seriously ill, and if he realized that Shao Yubai had a deep connection with them, the old man would definitely take strict precautions in the future, and it would be even more difficult to deal with.

Knowing that he didn't do well enough, Ji Cen'an didn't say anything.

Close for a while and then separate, so as not to attract eyes and ears.

Nanjia was light on familiarity and was used to this kind of scene. It didn't take long for him to continue to deal with the bank boss who came forward to chat, and ignored Ji Cen'an.

Ji Cen'an continued to integrate into it for a short time, no matter whether he wanted it in his heart or not, he still had to hold his nose and persevere until the dinner was over.

After the table was cleared away, the shortest hand of the wall clock had already moved almost three large divisions, and it suddenly seemed that it was eleven o'clock.

The endgame is that the servants of the Sun's family clean up. The big bosses move to the second floor of the Sun's house when they are full of wine and food. and a dazzling collection of artwork.

It's not bad that Sun Mingtian likes this one, at least he doesn't have any vulgar and disgusting habits.The old man was approachable when he was not talking about business, and he was more interested in introducing his part of the collection, and he was more energetic than before.

Ji Cen'an walked around the team for half an hour, and then nothing happened to her.

A housekeeper came up and led her, the idler, down the stairs and into the vestibule.

The housekeeper said: "Miss Ji, you may wait a little longer. If you are bored, you can go to the back garden or other places. If you need anything, you can just ask, we are always here."

Ji Cen'an was not interested in ordering the servants to play, and he couldn't drink anything. He was bored after staying in the house for a long time, and after waiting for more than ten minutes, he went to the back garden for two laps and waited on the hanging chair.

The Sun family's back garden is spacious and covers a large area. There are various types of flowers and trees, rockery, art sculptures, and a not-so-small artificial lake.

More stylish, revealing money and taste everywhere.

Ji Cen'an leaned back on the bench and looked at the high wall beyond the night.

The Ji family back then was more than ten times more wealthy than here, and old man Sun was relatively "simple", and he could be regarded as the type who made a lot of money but was "not extravagant".

The evening wind blows gently, blowing on the face.

One after another, with the unique heat of late summer.

He half-closed his eyes and took a rest... Before Ji Cen'an could be quiet for a while, someone sat down on the vacant side of the bench and came uninvited.

Shao Yubai really couldn't understand people's words, and he just went to wherever it was annoying, without any self-consciousness.Ignoring Ji Cen'an's repulsion, this one approached him as soon as he came, fearing that Ji Cen'an would not notice his existence, he also leaned back in his chair, breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "It's too boring up there, a bunch of old people talking about it It’s not over, it makes people’s ears callous.”

Ji Cen'an didn't move, he raised his eyelids, he would rather look straight ahead than look aside.

Shao Yubai straightened his legs, put one hand behind his side, and made a small report to Ji Cen'an, relaying the content of the discussion upstairs: "They said you, and they are planning how to divide the camp and find a way to squeeze out your value."

Too lazy to respond, Ji Cen'an remained as firm as a mountain.

"You are still quite useful. At least Sun Mingtian likes it very much. I think he will keep you in the short term." Shao Yubai said again, tilting his head and looking at her profile, "Who is that... Mr. Nan, she didn't express any opinions, Huang Yannian asked for it." Yifang, I asked you to make a condition, and she agreed."

Reveal everything, tear off the fig leaf of those people, and show them to Ji Cen'an one by one.

When it comes to Nanjia, it is emphasized that the meaning of alienation is obvious, and it is not concealed, and the word "provoking trouble" is almost written on the face.

However, Ji Cen'an wasn't fooled, he let him gossip, and didn't take a word seriously. When he heard Nanjia, he twitched his eyelashes, but he restrained himself and stabilized his mind.

Shao Yubai touched her shoulder and leaned over.

"You're not curious, don't care what they said?"

Ji Cen'an still had the same attitude: "Stay away, save some effort, and don't waste your time with me."

Shao Yubai groaned, and said, "Can't you just chat casually?"

Ji Cen'an was very firm: "I'm not in the mood."

"Still angry?" Shao Yubai asked, which pot was not opened and which pot was lifted, "Because I didn't help you before, so you hate me?"

"..."

Shao Yubai: "Then let me apologize to you, is that so?"

Ji Cen'an's face darkened, but due to being in the Sun's family, he still held back.

But the people next to her seem to be pushing an inch, taking this patience for granted, ignoring the look on her face, insisting on digging out the past grievances, and casually said: "At that time, our relationship was still quarreling, it wasn't because of you because of an outsider Do you want to compete with me to get angry? As for me, I didn’t think about it at the time, and I haven’t forgiven you, so I didn’t help. You can understand if you want to be angry. It’s been so long, the matter is a foregone conclusion, and it’s useless for me to justify. You can feel free to think and blame as you like. I really have no position to ask you for your freedom. If you still can’t pass that test, you should be angry first, and you will be exhausted. We can talk again."

Thick-skinned, and the ability to turn right and wrong is first-rate, and black can also be said to be white.

It was clearly not the case, but when he said it, it seemed that Ji Cen'an was over-spirited and a little clueless.

Ji Cen'an said in a low voice, "Can't understand people's language?"

"The grievances from the past are gone today. You can't always cling to the past. People have to look forward." Shao Yubai spoke boldly, and he didn't feel back pain when he stood up and spoke.

Ji Cen'an said loudly, "Get lost."

Shao Yubai listened but didn't hear it. After finishing the preface, he immediately turned to the main body and explained the most important thing straight: "An'an, I want you to help me."

Ji Cen'an said coldly, "Don't dream."

"I'm not dreaming, I'm not begging, and I haven't given you a choice." Shao Yubai said, with a frank face, "You don't have to help, you can stand on either side, and I won't have any losses."

Knowing that this is a trick, Ji Cen'an is still indifferent to the most pleasant words: "There is no need for you to pretend to be kind."

As if hearing great joy, Shao Yubai raised his brows again, and couldn't help but chuckled lightly. Some couldn't believe that she could say this, as if he knew her for the first time.

"So that's how you see me?"

A little annoyed, Ji Cen'an didn't explain.

But Shao Yubai insisted, turning his head to meet her side face: "This is considered a fake kindness, so what is it that Nanjia stole your hard work, a cat crying like a mouse, or is she better at pretending than me?"

Ji Cen'an said, "I have nothing to talk to you about."

"It's you who escaped, not nothing."

"No."

"I would rather take refuge in a villain than bow to me once."

"It's okay with us."

Shao Yubai: "Who is it related to, only her?"

Ji Cen'an: "It has nothing to do with you."

"Really?" Shao Yubai said, he used to be able to hit the nail on the head, "If that's the case, why did you ask me for help in the first place, and not this one now?"

Unwilling to talk about these meaningless things, Ji Cen'an got up and prepared to stay in another place, tired of the noise.

Shao Yubai intentionally tripped her up, and suddenly asked: "The past few years have passed away, leaving everyone behind and disappearing without a trace, have you considered how to solve the mess you left behind?"

Ji Cen'an left straight away.

"Have you contacted Xiao Wu and them since you came back?" Shao Yubai asked again, provoking again and again.

Ji Cen'an didn't stop for half a step, seeing it as air... until the person behind said the next sentence, he stopped abruptly.

Shao Yubai stabbed a knife into his weakness, and forced him: "Who will take over the entire development team after you left, and you don't care if it's life or death?"
