The story of Rose starts with being a brother

Chapter 267 The secret that cannot be told
"Hello Jian Xi, did you just call me?"

In the office, not long after Jian Xi hung up the phone with Yuan Yi, he received a call from Gu Yuan.

"Yes, Yuan Yi answered the phone. Didn't she tell you?"

"I did, and you also said that you wished me and her a smooth engagement and a quick marriage."

"Ah, what's wrong? Blessings should be expressed with a sincere heart."

"Don't wish me well. It's impossible for her and I to be together."

"I know, I know. Gu Li is the only one in your heart, and you will not marry anyone else but Gu Li!" Jian Xi smiled, crossed his legs while holding his cell phone.

Gu Yuan on the phone said unhappily, "You know you still say that? Didn't you see how disgusting her expression was when she said your blessing to us in front of my mom? Um... that's the disgusting green tea you mentioned."

"What's wrong with green tea? Why is it disgusting?" The dog man immediately refuted him, "She is considerate, caring and gentle to you, this tea is very delicious, how can this be green tea? This is obviously a good sister!"

"..."

Gu Yuan was stunned by the bastard's words. After a long while, he managed to say, "I only love Gu Li purely."

"Are you also a pure love warrior?"

Jian Xi raised his eyebrows. The previous steadfast pure love warrior was later urged to get married every day.

However, there is still a big difference between Lao Meng's pure love and Gu Yuan's pure love. The former only pursues love and doesn't care who brings it to him, while Gu Yuan is obsessed with Gu Li. As for whether the other party brings him love... anyway, as long as it is brought by Gu Li, he calls it love.

When Gu Yuan heard what he said, he just thought for a moment and immediately responded: "Yes, I am the Pure Love Warrior!"

"..."

Jian Xi smiled, then said affirmatively: "I believe you, but your fiancée just answered the phone, I just said that, who told you to keep your phone with her?"

Hearing this, Gu Yuan on the phone first corrected "Yuan Yi is not his fiancée yet", and then sighed and said: "My mother just wanted to talk about my engagement with her, I didn't want to listen and went out, but she got my phone instead."

"Tsk, didn't your mother arrange for you and Yuan Yi to get engaged if the acquisition of Gu Li's company fails?"

"But Yuan Yi has been living in my house for a long time, otherwise why would I move out? I can't stand her being so attentive to my mother, and I can't stand my mother playing the role of loving mother-in-law and filial daughter-in-law with her every day."

Gu Yuan's voice on the phone was full of complaints, but Jian Xi laughed when she heard it: "You two can live together and still talk about these things. Who knows if my blessing will come true one day?"

"We don't live together. I told you I moved out!" Gu Yuan's tone was a little bad. Then he continued, "What's wrong with you today? Didn't you always stand by my side before?"

"I'm on your side now!" Jian Xi paused, then added slowly, "It's just that I also have a little green tea in my family."

There are also differences among the green tea characters. Compared with Yuan Yi, Lin Quan is much cuter, and A Quan is also more dedicated.

Why be a green tea if you don't fight with your original wife?
Will it really work if you hang around your future mother-in-law every day?
Gu Yuan could even stab his own mother in the back for Gu Li, so no matter how happy Yuan Yi is, isn't she still an outsider?

Gu Li can collect the love photos of Yuan Yi and her driver boyfriend, so can't Yuan Yi expose the affair between Gu Li and Xi Cheng as well?

Of course, this is the way it should be done based on the original drama.

As for now...

Although the affair between Gu Li and Xi Cheng was no longer a secret, many people knew about it. Apart from the drugging, which was a secret only known to Jian Xi, Nan Xiang, Xi Cheng, and Gu Li, as for the fact that they had sex, there were also Tang Wanru, Lin Xiao, and well... Lin Quan had also heard about it from the bad man.

In other words, as long as Yuan Yi is willing to spend time and money, he can still find out about this matter.

However, what is different from the original drama is that there are not many channels for Yuan Yi to pry open this secret.

Moreover, Yuan Yi had to think of all this.

At this moment, Gu Yuan was stunned when he heard Jian Xi's words, and subconsciously asked: "Who? Lin Xiao is a green tea?"

"No."

"No? You mean your mistress?"

"What's the point of being a mistress?" The dog man refuted the other party's inappropriate words and corrected, "Her name is Lin Quan, and now she is also my ex-girlfriend with Lin Xiao."

"..."

Hearing this, Gu Yuan was silent for two seconds before he said speechlessly: "Is that your ex-girlfriend? You obviously want both of them."

Jian Xi smiled and answered him: "Don't worry about whether you want both. I'm just asking if you've broken up. If you've broken up, why would you care about mistresses or concubines?"

"..."

Although he had heard him say this before, Gu Yuan was still shocked by his good brother's shamelessness when he heard it again.

How come I, Gu Yuan, am such a romantic man, have such a scumbag brother?

"Okay, stop talking nonsense. I'm not like you."

"We are certainly different."

The last pure love warrior said the same thing to me.

"By the way, what did you want to do when you called me before?"

At this time, Gu Yuan changed the subject. He was supposed to meet with Jian Xi to chat today, but his mother suddenly asked him to go back to discuss the engagement, so he was unable to meet Jian Xi.

Jian Xi called him just now, probably wanting to talk to him about something else.

In the office, Jian Xi placed his other hand on the desk, tapping the table with his fingertips. After a moment's hesitation, he said, "Gu Yuan, can you help me get a list of the loan companies in Magic City?"

"Lending? Usury?"

Gu Yuan asked curiously, "Why do you want the information of the lending company? Is your company short of money?"

"Of course you are short of money. How can you run a company without a lack of money?"

Jian Xi smiled and replied: "But I don't need to borrow money from a loan company."

"Then why do you want this? If you are really short of money, I can find a way for you."

Putting aside his identity as a scumbag, Jian Xi is still his good brother after all, and he also has some shares in this company.

At this time, Jian Xi asked curiously: "How do you think of a solution? Can you ask your mother for money?"

"..."

Don't reveal other people's shortcomings when chatting. If you ask your biological mother for money, I guess her purpose of exchange will be to make you marry Yuan Yi.

So Gu Yuan just laughed it off and said, "Don't worry about it. I'm sure I can find a way to get the money!"

"Don't ask too much about this loan company. I don't need to borrow money. Even if I really need to borrow money, I will borrow it from a bank. Just help me get some information about the Modu Loan Company."

Jian Xi also smiled and evaded the question, saying that the loan matter was of course related to Xi Cheng.

Like Nan Xiang, Xi Cheng is also moving forward in debt.

However, Nan Xiang was in debt because her mother was a gambler and owed debts, while Xi Cheng was in debt by himself. After all, Nan Xiang was supported by Gu Li before, and although she is not supported now, whether it is a part-time job before or working for a bastard now, although there is still not much money, at least she can support herself.

But it is not so easy for Xi Cheng, an unemployed vagrant.

Including when he blackmailed Gu Li before, he came to ask for money every few days. Given Gu Li's view on money, even if he had to hold his nose and give him money, it would not be a small amount.

But Xi Cheng was still extremely poor, and even if he built everything himself, the traces would still be visible.

Jian Xi just observed Xi Cheng. He seemed weak, but not too weak. He was not much better than ordinary college students in later generations. So he could rule out prostitution. The clothes he wore were not luxury goods, and he didn't buy a car or a house. So where did the money go?

If he could save the money, Jian Xi would rather believe that Nan Xiang was not a flirt.

The most likely possibility is that it was used to pay off debts.

This is also consistent with the reason why he had been urging Gu Li to transfer the money.

If someone urged him, he would urge Gu Li, until finally they came to his door.

You know, in the original drama, Xi Cheng was blocked in an alley and beaten by his debtors, and finally he accidentally fell on a steel bar before he got his lunch box.

Then it is reasonable that he is being chased around by debt collectors now.

Otherwise, his expression wouldn't have changed so drastically when Jian Xi asked him, "You are still burdened with high-interest loans, right?"

Although Jian Xi didn't know which company Xi Cheng borrowed from, judging from the way the debt collectors in the original drama were dressed, the company was quite large.

Who wears a suit and tie when collecting debts on the street?

So after thinking about it, he decided to ask his good brother Gu Yuan to help him check it out, just to try his luck. If he couldn't find it, he still had other ways.

It is worth mentioning that Xi Cheng did not tell Gu Yuan about the incident of drugging Gu Li, of course not because he wanted to use this to control Nan Xiang.

It’s not that he is so dark-minded that he wants to treat Gu Yuan as a sucker.

It’s a very simple truth, why didn’t Gu Li say anything?
Apart from Xi Cheng, Nan Xiang and myself, the person who knows this matter best is of course Gu Li.

If Gu Yuan asked her whether she went to bed with Xi Cheng voluntarily, could Gu Li still say that she did so voluntarily?

Hmm... thinking of this, Jian Xi frowned, it seems that there is still a little possibility!
But this is not important. There is only one reason why Gu Yuan has never talked about this matter, and that is that he did not ask Gu Li.

After all, it is already a very painful thing for your girlfriend to sleep with another man. After you have finally gotten over it, you can't bring it up again, right?

For Gu Yuan, whether Gu Li slept with other men or not was both important and not particularly important. What really mattered was whether Gu Li still loved him.

The current situation is obvious. Gu Li certainly loves me, so what's wrong with forgiving her once?

Just think of it as Gu Li making a mistake that every woman would make!

So he didn't ask, and Gu Li didn't take the initiative to say whether she went to bed with Xi Cheng actively or passively. This is worth pondering.

Since she was drugged and forced to have sex, but did not tell her boyfriend Gu Yuan about it, it is understandable that she did not say anything at first when no one knew about it, as she did not want to ruin her relationship with Gu Yuan because of this incident.

After all, how many women would take the initiative to talk about such things?

What's more, the male protagonist in this incident was the ex-boyfriend of her best friend. What's more, it should be known that she could have said that she was a victim at the birthday party, but she still didn't say it.

And later, after the truth was revealed, she still didn't explain clearly. One possibility is that she might have done the same as Gu Yuan. Since it has passed, it is over. There is no need to mention it again. Otherwise, it would be opening her own scars again, as well as Gu Yuan's scars.

Another possibility is to take care of Nan Xiang.

Although it is strange why Gu Li felt guilty towards Nan Xiang after being drugged and slept with by Nan Xiang's ex-boyfriend, and this was the result of Nan Xiang's angry words, which was really against Tian Gang.

But it is very likely that Gu Li would choose to let Xi Cheng go because of Nan Xiang.

If she took revenge on Xi Cheng, Nan Xiang would not only be sad, but would also break up with her, so she did not tell Gu Yuan that she was drugged by Xi Cheng.

It was of course good that Gu Yuan didn't ask. If he really asked, she might not tell the truth.

There was no way. In terms of emotional needs, she needed Nan Xiang, while Gu Yuan needed her.

In fact, what would happen even if Jian Xi told Gu Yuan the truth?

According to this emotional need, Gu Yuan will most likely continue to wear the green hat because of Gu Li and Nan Xiang.

Therefore, if Jian Xi really said it, it would only cause trouble to his good brother.

When Gu Yuan finds out that in Gu Li's heart, he still has to give in to Xi Cheng, the relationship will really be torn apart.

In order to prevent the good brothers from falling apart, Jian Xi decided to be a kind-hearted concealer.

This way, we can also control Nan Xiang at the same time, it's a win-win-win situation for all three parties!
After all, Nan Xiang didn't know all this. Gu Li felt guilty towards her, and she felt guilty towards Gu Li as well. It was a two-way struggle. She felt that if Jian Xi really said it, not only would Xi Cheng be sent away, but her relationship with Gu Li would never be the same again.

As for the fact that Jian Xi's keeping the secret would benefit Gu Li and Xi Cheng, the male and female protagonists in the incident, Jian Xi didn't really care.

In the last part of the original drama, after Gu Li fell ill, in order to drive everyone away, she went to bed with Xi Cheng in front of Nan Xiang and Gu Yuan. Well... this time she took the initiative to request a double row.

So Gu Li didn't seek revenge from Xi Cheng for being drugged. Finally, there is another very small possibility, that is, although she didn't want to, it doesn't mean that she... um, didn't enjoy it?

In short, I guess only Gu Li herself knows the answer.

This is at most just a guess made by a beast with a bad taste.

……

After a long day, time continues to pass.

After get off work that day, Jian Xi went to have another fight with Lin Quan in the evening as promised. What puzzled the dog man was whether Lin Xiao knew that Lin Quan came to see him.

After hearing this question, Lin Quan bit his shoulder but did not answer him.

Seeing this, Jian Xi stopped asking questions. At worst, he could just ask Lin Xiao later.

But what surprised him was that two days later, Lin Xiao actually asked to postpone the time of breaking up with him.

This is indeed quite strange. Lin Xiao’s period didn’t come these days?

The dog man also asked Lin Quan indirectly, but it turned out that the little green tea girl had no idea what Lin Xiao was tinkering with sometimes when he hid in the bedroom.

Could it be that electric power has replaced manual labor?

The dog man shook his head and put this doubt aside for the time being. He would know it sooner or later anyway.

And after that day, another change that surprised him was that Nan Xiang suddenly became docile.

When I scolded her again, she didn't talk back or cry!
Looking at the submissive woman in front of him, Jian Xi had a strange expression on his face. Could it be that the previous stimulation had caused her to change her personality?

Just when the bad man was thinking about whether he should give Nan Xiang another stimulus to turn her back to her original state, Lin Xiao, whom he hadn't seen for a few days, finally sent him a message.

"Jian Xi, I bought a set of sexy underwear."
