The story of Rose starts with being a brother

Chapter 223: Birthday party? A gathering of scumbags!
"I forgive you..."

“Who told me to…”

Jian Xi paused for a moment, then continued affectionately: "I love you!"

Then Lin Xiao burst into laughter: "Thank you, Jian Xi."

So Jian Xi also laughed.

"..."

Now, everyone else present was confused again. Is this okay?
Especially Gu Li, who was very sensitive, saw Jian Xi suddenly become stronger and make Lin Xiao cry, and then make Lin Xiao laugh. Is this Jian Xi who can do whatever he wants to Lin Xiao still the Jian Xi she knew before?

Although Lin Xiao's change made her speechless, it was not too unexpected for her. After all, Lin Xiao was not very smart to begin with.

Gu Li felt something was wrong and didn't bother to ask if Lin Xiao had leaked the secret that she and Xi Cheng had slept together. She couldn't help but ask her best friend, "Lin Xiao, what's wrong with you? You were crying just now..."

"Gu Li, why are you always so eager to jump out? I think you should just take care of your own business first!"

The team leader Jian Xi interrupted Gu Li again and then aimed at Gu Li.

Gu Li's face changed. When she saw her boyfriend Gu Yuan's face turned ugly again, she said stubbornly, "What do you mean by my own mess?"

Until now, she no longer dared to visit her best friend Nan Xiang.

Jian Xi chuckled and realized that Gu Yuan and Nan Xiang on his left and right, the two people who were really cheated on, couldn't help it anymore, so he pressed their shoulders again.

Warm up yourself first, and then let them join the group later.

Then the bad man said to Gu Li: "Gu Li, do you need me to point out that you are secretly dating other men without telling your boyfriend?"

"What did you say?!"

Jian Xi's move could no longer be considered an allusion; it was almost like exposing the truth.

Gu Li couldn't pretend anymore and screamed with her face turning green.

After hearing Jian Xi's words, she finally asked Lin Xiao who was still wiping tears beside her: "Tell Jian Xi..."

"Lin Xiao didn't tell me!"

Jian Xi, who had low quality and no upbringing, interrupted Gu Li again. At the same time, he increased the force of pressing Nan Xiang's shoulders.

This crazy woman couldn't help but join the group.

Seeing Gu Li looking over, Jian Xi chuckled again and said, "I'm talking about you secretly inviting Wei Hai over without telling Tang Wanru..."

After a pause, the dog man saw Gu Li's wonderful expression and continued, "Otherwise, what do you think I said?"

"..."

At this moment, the most shocked person was probably not Gu Li, whose mood was like a roller coaster, but the two sports students Tang Wanru and Wei Hai, who had already been dumbfounded.

Obviously, it was their affair that ignited the fuse, but now these two athletes suddenly found themselves somewhat out of place here, and their affair seemed to be nothing.

Wei Hai has a girlfriend, and he told Tang Wanru that they can still be friends. Tang Wanru has a crush on Wei Hai, no, an open crush on him, but after Wei Hai's girlfriend splashed soup on his face, she could only turn her open crush into a secret crush.

Wei Hai was the most confused person among everyone present. He clearly just came to attend a birthday party and talk about his relationship with Tang Wanru, but then the birthday party suddenly turned into a werewolf killing party.

Why does it feel like everyone at this table, except him and Tang Wanru, is a werewolf? No, they are all cheating on someone else? Or are they being cheated on?
People outside say that those who study sports have the most fun, but damn, they are the only two who study sports at this table and they are the most normal, right?

As for Tang Wanru, she never expected that the slap she just made on the table would trigger such a series of events.

Just now, she pointed at Nan Xiang and gave a simple hint to Gu Li, and also expressed her dissatisfaction with the other party for trying to match her with Wei Hai without his permission.

But unexpectedly, before this incident was exposed, the matter between Jian Xi and Lin Xiao was exposed first.

This time she didn't dare to speak, and even regretted her impulsiveness just now.

At this moment, Jian Xi took everyone's expressions into his eyes. After seeing Gu Li speechless, he smiled and continued, "If there is nothing else, how about leaving this article behind?"

"?"

Gu Li looked at him again. Just let it go like that?
So you were just trying to scare me?

No one could understand how nervous Gu Li was just now. It was no exaggeration to say that he was on edge.

She originally thought that the fact that she had slept with Xi Cheng was known only to heaven and earth, Xi Cheng, herself, and Lin Xiao. But just now, she felt that somehow everyone knew that she had slept with Xi Cheng!

What the hell went wrong?
Seeing that no one responded, Jian Xi was not embarrassed. He picked up the glass of red wine in front of him and smiled, "I hope everyone will not forget that we are gathered here today to celebrate the birthday of our mutual good friend Gu Li. Shouldn't we toast her first?"

After the words fell, Jian Xi, who was still standing and holding Nan Xiang tightly with his other hand, took the lead in toasting Gu Li and said, "Happy birthday, Gu Li."

Then he drank the wine in one gulp.

Seeing this scene, Gu Li, who had been unable to hold back, was really unable to hold back. Finally, someone remembered that it was her birthday.

So Gu Li took a deep breath, raised his glass and said to Jian Xi: "Thank you."

Although Jian Xi had been humiliating her and saying some sarcastic words to scare her, she immediately chose to forgive him.

Jian Xi watched Gu Li drinking with a smile. For some reason, he always felt that he had forgotten something, or rather, there was some memory that he had not yet recalled.

Unfortunately, I had just come across and was still adapting, so I was torn apart in a rush and didn't have time to sort out my memories carefully.

After seeing Gu Li put down her wine glass and forced a smile at him, Jian Xi said to the others: "Don't you wish Gu Li a happy birthday? Or do you not consider her a friend? If you are affected by some dirty things just now, then I hope everyone can forget their grudges over a glass of wine. After all, who among you doesn't have some shameful secrets?"

Having said that, Jian Xi loosened his grip on Nan Xiang, then sat down and said with a smile:

"I have finished what I have to say. Who is in favor? Who is against?"

After he finished speaking, the people opposite looked at each other, then picked up the wine glasses in front of them, said happy birthday to Gu Li, and started drinking.

Jian Xi said a lot, and although I always felt that there was some other meaning between his words, at least they understood what he meant. Let’s drink this glass of wine, and we can still be good friends!
At this time, Gu Yuan beside Jian Xi's face kept changing. His girlfriend cheated on him and he was very angry, but it was absolutely impossible for him to break up with Gu Li. Even his own mother couldn't let him do that.

so what should I do now?
After seeing Gu Li's pitiful look, Gu Yuan hesitated for only 2.5 seconds. Between feeling cowardly and angry, he chose to feel cowardly and angry.

When my girlfriend cheated on me, of course I should choose to forgive her!
Just now, Jian Xi was able to forgive Lin Xiao, so why couldn’t Gu Yuan forgive Gu Li?
Just like what he told Jian Xi not long ago, Gu Li had already become a part of his body. Even if she cheated on him, could he still cut off his hands and feet?

Jian Xi caught a glimpse of Gu Yuan's relieved expression and almost laughed out loud.

What a passionate person.

Sure enough, green is the main color of love, and forgiveness is the main theme of this movie!

"I agree!"

Just as Gu Yuan picked up the wine glass and smiled at Gu Li, and Gu Li also laughed with relief, a voice broke the harmonious atmosphere.

When Jian Xi saw Nan Xiang holding up the wine glass and standing up, the smile on his face seemed to become even more intense.

A good rhythm master must of course make the rhythm have twists and turns, ups and downs, otherwise the subsequent big rhythm will not be able to be more shocking.

After the dog man started the team fight, he restored the situation slightly to create a better opportunity for the next team-starter.

Go ahead, little bitch!

"I agree with what Jian Xi just said." Nan Xiang, who had been unable to contain herself for a long time, took over the baton and stood up and said, "Jian Xi is right. The reason why we are all gathered here today is to celebrate the birthday of our good friend Gu Li who we have grown up with."

As soon as Nan Xiang opened her mouth, the atmosphere in the restaurant, which had just eased, suddenly became tense again.

After all, everyone present, except Wei Hai, knew the truth about that matter.

Although Nan Xiang agreed with Jian Xi's words about forgetting the past with a glass of wine, after seeing Nan Xiang standing up, no one present thought that she really agreed.

Especially Gu Li. After Nan Xiang, who had been silent, stood up and spoke, her heart rose to her throat again. She didn't believe that this good friend really wanted to celebrate her birthday now.

If she cheated on Gu Yuan, then for Nan Xiang, that made her, well... awesome?
Jian Xi put away the smile on his face. In the following situation, it would be impolite to smile again.

The following words spoken by Nanxiang Bitch need to be memorized in full.

"I have been miserable since I was a child. My family and love life have been unhappy. I have experienced many disgusting things and tragic experiences. The person who caused me the greatest harm - Xi Cheng, everyone knows him."

Nan Xiang picked up the wine glass and spoke slowly. She also left her seat, walked around Jian Xi, around the end of the table and slowly walked behind Wei Hai. Everyone held their breath and listened to her.

When mentioning Xi Cheng, Nan Xiang smiled slightly and glanced across the dining table to her best friend Gu Li who was in a daze.

"Fortunately, I met Gu Li. Thanks to her care over the years, no matter how cold, unkind, and selfish others think Gu Li is, I know she is not like that."

Passing Wei Hai, Nan Xiang walked behind Tang Wanru. When she put her hand on the broad shoulders of her good friend, Tang Wanru shuddered.

At this moment, her best friend Nan Xiang behind her was like a poisonous snake ready to bite Tang Wanru. Although she knew that the other party's target was another good friend Gu Li, she was still afraid that the other party would bite her out of the blue.

"Or maybe she's not entirely like that, so she risked her life to save me, or to share my pain, or even to taste my pain herself."

Nan Xiang spoke softly and walked at a steady pace, passing behind Tang Wanru, then Lin Xiao, and finally to her final target, her best friend Gu Li.

She walked and talked, holding a glass of red wine with a smile on her face, as if she was giving her inaugural speech under the spotlight, or introducing her paintings to the audience in an exhibition hall.

Nan Xiang walked up to Gu Li, put her arm around her shoulders, looked at everyone and said softly, "To put it simply, she slept with Xi Cheng just like me."

Finally, the matter was made clear. The matter that had been covered up before was laid out on the table amid Nan Xiang's chuckle.

As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Li closed her eyes, and the heart that had been hanging in the air finally died.

At the same time, Gu Yuan, who had been prepared to forgive, now looked ugly again.

If this matter had not been made clear just now, he would have been willing to just let it go on his girlfriend's birthday. As long as it wasn't stated explicitly, he was willing to pretend to be confused.

After all, life is full of confusion!
There is a saying that goes, as long as you live a decent life, you will inevitably have some green on you.

But now that the fact that his girlfriend had slept with someone else had been made public, he still felt devastated.

It hurts, it hurts too much!
In the restaurant, the initiator Nan Xiang continued speaking without changing her tone: "The most ironic thing is that she thought I didn't know."

When she said this, Nan Xiang leaned over and smiled at Lin Xiao on the other side. It was obvious that she was expressing her dissatisfaction with her best friend for knowing about this but choosing to help Gu Li keep it a secret from her.

Jian Xi was also very interested in the scene of Nan Xiang going crazy in front of him.

But then again, who was it that told the secret to Nan Xiang?

Jian Xi thought about it. Lin Xiao promised in front of Gu Li that she would not tell anyone. Otherwise, if it was leaked, Gu Li would be the first to settle the score with her. Gu Yuan only knew about this when he heard Gu Li’s phone call, and then told the original body.

As for the parties involved, Gu Li and Xi Cheng, although Gu Li also has mental problems, if she were to tell others about this kind of thing now, it would be better for her to jump off the building. Otherwise, she would not have kept it a secret at all.

'Why did I say again?'

Jian Xi thought of Xi Cheng again. Although Xi Cheng was not normal, he would not tell Nan Xiang at this moment. After all, he had always loved Nan Xiang deeply, and Nan Xiang also loved him deeply.

Yes, that's right. Although Xi Cheng is an uneducated and unlearned scumbag, who abuses Nan Xiang, slaps her in the face and kicks her stomach, and causes her to miscarry and be hospitalized many times, he just loves Nan Xiang very much. Similarly, Nan Xiang, who is mentally ill, still loves Xi Cheng deeply. She probably has Stockholm syndrome. The harder Xi Cheng punches her, the more she loves him.

Beating is love, scolding is love, and if love is not enough, kicking is what she means.

Well, maybe it’s just like in Japanese comics, I can feel the power of the other person’s love through their fists.

Moreover, if Xi Cheng told Nan Xiang in person that he slept with Gu Li, Nan Xiang would definitely break down and scold him, and then he would say that it was you who asked me to go in the first place!
Even if Nan Xiang was mentally ill, she would not be angry with Gu Li at this moment.

Besides, Xi Cheng had already said what he wanted to say, and he even wanted to take advantage of Gu Li's friendship with Nan Xiang to continue blackmailing her!
Although it was not shown in the movie, after using the process of elimination to eliminate the problems one by one, the remaining answer, no matter how outrageous it is, is still the correct answer.

Jian Xi looked across at the person opposite her, at the close friend of Gu Li and Nan Xiang, the athlete who usually appeared to be a carefree, honest and frank person—Tang Wanru!

Unexpectedly, this athlete with thick eyebrows and big eyes is the most likely informer.

Damn it, why does Jian Xi feel like this birthday party has turned into a gathering of scum?

They are really not good people!
A bootlicker, a sugar man, a bitch, a scumbag, a whore, a Judas... As for Wei Hai, he will not be a good thing in the future. He will be classified as Brother Chenshui. Forget it, he will also be classified as a scumbag!
If that scumbag Xi Cheng also comes, then this party will be even more scumbag!

Thinking of this, Jian Xi couldn't hold back for a moment. What kind of world is full of villains?

After traveling through several worlds, this was the first time he encountered such a situation.

Although he has always known that he is a beast, it doesn't mean that he likes to travel with beasts!

Who says bad guys like to hang out with bad guys?
How can we allow bad guys to gain an advantage by disrupting order if we don’t stay with good guys?
How can bad people be allowed to do bad things without any hesitation if you don’t stay with good people?

Especially since the brains of these scum in front of him are not normal. If they were all just bad, Jian Xi would think it was okay. But these people are not purely bad. No one knows when they will suddenly do something that harms others and themselves.

This is what makes Jian Xi speechless the most. If there are benefits to doing bad things, then he will give the other party a thumbs up. If there are no benefits or disadvantages to doing bad things, then he will think that the other party needs improvement. If there are disadvantages to doing bad things, then the other party is stupid, bad and disgusting.

What made him even more sick was that this group of guys, after doing things that hurt others and themselves, could inexplicably get together and reconcile. It was quite difficult to judge.

Prove that I love you by hurting each other...

Thinking of this, Jian Xi, who had not yet fully adapted to his original body, felt a headache.

While Jian Xi was thinking in a flash, Nan Xiang grabbed Gu Li's hair and continued speaking.

"But Gu Li, we are sisters with such a deep friendship, how could I not know?"

Gu Li was completely confused at this time. She didn't dare to resist even though her best friend grabbed her hair and shook her head. Although she didn't shed tears, she still started sobbing.

"So today, I want to pay tribute to my good sister and thank her for sharing my miserable life. I also sincerely wish that from now on, her life will start to rot and stink just like mine!"

Nan Xiang's tone, which had been gentle all along, gradually became faster and higher in pitch, and the last few words were even shouted out directly.

Then she poured the 1982 Lafite in her hand on her best friend Gu Li's head.

"boom!"

After Nan Xiang poured the wine, she smashed the empty glass on the ground. This group session ended perfectly with the sound of the glass breaking.

Then she picked up the napkin on the table, wiped her hands, turned and left the banquet hall.

Gu Li, whose hair had been washed by Lafite, could only close her eyes and let the red wine flow down her hair and on her face. Only after the sound of the door opening and closing disappeared did she dare to open her eyes tremblingly.

Looking at the five people left in front of him.

Her boyfriend stared at the tableware with a grim face and said nothing. Her two remaining best friends were crying quietly. Everyone else, including her, remained silent.

Not long ago, I was the queen, and Gu Li, who was shining with confidence, now looked as miserable as a drowned chicken.

It was obviously her birthday party, and she excitedly invited all her good friends to come over and decorated the banquet venue in advance. Even the tablecloth and the roses around were carefully arranged by her. There was also red wine, delicious food, and a 1.84-meter-tall cake that she was ready to share with her friends but had not yet appeared!
Everything was fine when I invited them not long ago. I even kindly reminded them not to wear long dresses and high heels to avoid falling and being embarrassed in front of the men.

Then, when the moment came when we should have raised our glasses and laughed, what greeted us was cold wine splashing on our faces. It was such an unbearable ending.

After a long while, Gu Li's lips moved slightly, and the sound was vague, as if it didn't come from her mouth.

"So, every one of you already knew it."

No one answered her, and she didn't need anyone to answer her. Perhaps she should have thought of it when Tang Wanru and Gu Yuan spoke angrily.

You should also be mentally prepared for this.

Gu Yuan stood up and recalled that when he talked about this matter with Jian Xi before, he felt sad but said that Gu Li was an inseparable part of his body and he could not break up with Gu Li because of this matter.

But no matter what he thought before, after experiencing what he saw before his eyes, how could he just let it go so easily?
I'm not a tortoise!

Gu Yuan picked up the white napkin on the table and wiped the red wine that was flowing freely on the face of his beloved woman. Gu Li raised her head, tears welling up in her red eyes. She looked up at her boyfriend pitifully, her heart full of hope.

However, after wiping it a few times, Gu Yuan put down his napkin again, looked at the other person with complicated eyes, and then turned around and left.

I'm really not a tortoise!

Jian Xi watched the scene in front of him coldly, his heart not moved at all.

Isn’t Gu Li pitiful?

In fact, she is quite pitiful. Because of something Nan Xiang said in anger, the scumbag Xi Cheng drugged her and then used this as a handle to blackmail her. In order to prevent this incident from destroying her friendship with Nan Xiang and her love with her boyfriend Gu Yuan, she kept it a secret and gave Xi Cheng money from time to time. In the end, she found out that everyone knew the secret she had been hiding.

Well, Wei Hai didn’t know this before, but now he knows.

Moreover, this matter was exposed at the birthday party she had carefully prepared. Not only was her best friend washing her hair with red wine, but her boyfriend also left her.

Obviously, she is the real victim in this matter.

I really saw her entertaining guests, I saw her building a tall building, and I saw her building collapse.

Should we pity her then?
Jian Xi just wanted to say, it’s irrelevant!

He himself had just arrived, and he wasn't here to save anyone!
I am not a partner of justice, and saving Gu Li can hardly be linked to justice.

As a wealthy woman, Gu Li usually supports her three free-range wolf girlfriends. This is her own choice.

After all, she has always regarded herself as the big sister of her girlfriends group. While providing them with food, drink and shelter, she also has to enjoy their flattery. It is normal that she has suffered backlash for interfering too much.

Parents always have a rebellious period when raising children!
What's more, not only are these good girlfriends inseparable from her, she is also inseparable from these good girlfriends. Maybe it sounds puzzling, but Jian Xi has seen more outrageous things in her original world, such as Mai Huang and her husband...

I understood it all at once.

Anyway, these good girlfriends will reconcile sooner or later, and they don’t need anyone else’s rescue. Besides, who knows if this is just part of the play between these girlfriends?

Again, forgiveness is the main theme of this movie.

No matter how much she was hurt, Gu Li still chose to forgive. Isn't that despicable?

If the hurt doesn't get deeper, how can the indestructible friendship between the sisters of that era be reflected?
Moreover, Jian Xi thought about how he had raised his blood pressure when he watched this movie, so seeing this scene now was like compensation to himself.

Aren’t the audience’s lives important?

In the banquet restaurant, apart from Jian Xi and Wei Haiwai, who was really stunned by the big news, there were only three sobbing women.

Lin Xiao was originally teased and laughed at by Jian Xi, but when she saw her best friends quarreling with each other, she couldn't help crying again. As for Tang Wanru...

Jian Xi was quite curious whether the other party was crying because she also saw her best friends quarreling, or because of something else that could not be said.

The sobbing Gu Li slowly stood up and walked behind them with her body bent. In the warm yellow restaurant painted by the burning candles, the red wine slid from her head to her back exposed by her evening dress, onto her arms, and finally splashed on the floor with a sound.

As if abandoned by the whole world, Gu Li left this unbearable place step by step. He wanted to escape from here immediately, but his legs felt as if filled with lead and he could only move slowly.

When her spirit was drained away, her strength was drained away with it.

Jian Xi looked at Gu Li who was passing by him and shook his head. One thing he was considering now was whether he should continue to eat here after Gu Li left.

Damn, his original body didn’t eat before attending the banquet, and he was really hungry after such a long time. Moreover, the most important thing for him after traveling through time was to improve his physical fitness, which consumed a lot of energy.

His original body was a student of fine arts. Although he was also a member of the school volleyball team, his physical condition was still a little poor. As a person who once possessed powers comparable to those of a superhero, he would feel uncomfortable every time his physical condition declined after traveling through time.

Just like the five signs of decay in immortals in novels about cultivating immortals, when you lose power you lose the ability to control.

If he gets killed alone at this moment, he has to revive himself.

So now for Jian Xi, you Egyptians can tear each other apart however you want, it has nothing to do with me!
But at this moment, he couldn't help but frown after seeing Gu Li's appearance, because he suddenly remembered something, something that he felt had not emerged from his memory.

It seems that Gu Li's father also died in a car accident on the way to the birthday party tonight?

Tsk, looking at it this way, Gu Li is really miserable right now.

"Gu Li!"

Jian Xi stopped the miserable young lady who was about to go out.

Gu Li stopped and slowly turned to look at her, with the same pitiful expression on his face.

Jian Xi stuffed the napkin on the table into his suit, then stood up and handed the suit to the other party.

He didn't intend to do anything to steal the girl, nor was it simply because Mr. Jian was kind-hearted.

Although Mr. Jian is not a good person, he is a decent man. Even though Gu Li is a bitch in his heart, it does not prevent him from giving the other party some respect at this moment.

At this time, he handed over the suit, and it depended on whether the other party wanted to look decent or not. He looked so embarrassed with his back full of red wine.

Gu Li stared at the suit in front of her in silence. It seemed like a long time had passed before she reached out to take it, then turned and left.

Just as the door was about to close again, Jian Xi called out again.

"No need to pay it back."

"Oh!"

I don’t know if Gu Li heard it or not after the door was closed.

"How rude! You didn't even say thank you."

Jian Xi lowered his head and muttered something, but when he thought about the fact that the other party's father was gone, he didn't care about it anymore. Besides, he didn't give the suit for free.

"Well, everyone who should have left has left. Um, are you guys still eating?"

The dog man tore off a piece of roast chicken leg and said to the three people opposite with a smile.

Damn, I’m starving!

Only after he was handed the suit did he feel at ease eating, and he was no longer like these people who had no sense of gratitude for their meal.
