The story of Rose starts with being a brother

Chapter 273 You have so many people supporting you, it’s enough without me

The atmosphere at the dining table in the Ye family villa was a bit depressing.

It’s not that the Ye family has a rule of not talking while eating or sleeping, it’s just that the atmosphere between a young man and woman at the table is a little off.

To be more precise, Gu Yuan was the only one who was sulking, while the other three people at the table were relatively normal.

"Gu Yuan, help Yuan Yi serve a bowl of soup."

Ye Chuanping, who was sitting opposite, suddenly spoke, and Gu Yuan, who was eating, froze in an instant.

Yuan Yi was secretly delighted, but still pretended to be reserved and said, "This... please help Gu Yuan."

"What's the trouble? He is your fiancé, so what's wrong with him serving you a bowl of soup?" Ye Chuanping spoke for Haodaer.

Seeing the two of them singing the same tune, Gu Yuan, who had been holding back for a long time, slammed his chopsticks on the table and said to Yuan Yi: "If you want to drink, pour it yourself. Don't you have hands?"

If Jian Xi hadn't been here today, he would definitely not have stayed home for dinner.

Every time his mother asked Yuan Yi to stay for dinner, he would leave immediately. This time he thought Yuan Yi was not there, but he didn't expect his mother to call Yuan Yi back!

Jian Xi, who was sitting next to Gu Yuan, ate his meal silently without saying a word. The drama in front of him had nothing to do with him, so he just wanted to watch the fun.

Hearing Haodaer's attitude, Ye Chuanping's face immediately darkened. When she was about to speak, Yuan Yi hurriedly tried to smooth things over, "It's okay, I'll serve it."

After saying that, Yuan Yi stood up and served a bowl of soup, and very considerately placed it in front of Ye Chuanping first, and then served another bowl for Jian Xi.

"Thank you." As a guest, Jian Xi was still very polite.

"Jian Xi, this is our official meeting. We just talked on the phone. Thank you for your blessing."

Yuan Yi said with a smile, and then she was about to serve soup to Gu Yuan again, but Young Master Gu directly pushed her hand away, and a lot of soup spilled out.

Seeing this, Ye Chuanping frowned and said, "Gu Yuan, have you forgotten your family education even after growing up? Yuan Yi is your fiancée, so it's ok for her to serve you soup without saying thank you, but what's the point of pushing it away?!"

"She's not my fiancée yet!"

Facing his mother's scolding, Gu Yuan simply fought back.

"You have already discussed your marriage, and you will have a formal engagement ceremony the day after tomorrow. What's the harm in announcing it in advance?" Ye Chuanping chuckled, then looked at Jian Xi and said, "Jian Xi, Yuan Yi just said thank you for your blessing on the phone, what does that mean?"

Seeing that he was being called, Jian Xi looked at his good brother, then smiled and said, "When I called Gu Yuan earlier, Miss Yuan answered the phone. Knowing that their wedding date was approaching, she gave her blessing."

Good brother, it’s not that I don’t support you, it’s just that... I’m an honest and good man.

At this time, Yuan Yi also chimed in, "Yes, Aunt Ye, Jian Xi wishes Gu Yuan and I a smooth engagement, and a happy and loving marriage!"

Gu Yuan, who was standing aside, had an expression as ugly as if he had eaten a fly. Now he was left alone and helpless.

Ye Chuanping laughed after hearing what Yuan Yi said: "Jian Xi is still sensible. Gu Yuan and Yuan Yi will be engaged in a few days. Please help persuade him not to be so stubborn."

"sure."

Jian Xi glanced at his good brother and agreed with a smile.

It's just a pity that this engagement is destined to fail.

Seeing Yuan Yi approaching Ye Chuanping and picking up dishes and serving soup to flatter her mother-in-law, Jian Xi was secretly happy and ate in silence.

Although the Yuan family that Yuan Yi belongs to is not the small family as Ye Chuanping said, there is still some gap compared with the Ye family.

Although stronger than Gu Li's Gu family, it is not that much stronger.

How could Ye Chuanping, a strong woman by nature, be willing to find a daughter-in-law who is equally strong?
The Yuan family wanted to curry favor with the Ye family, and Ye Chuanping also felt that Yuan Yi was right within the range of choices for a daughter-in-law that she could accept.

It’s my good brother Gu Yuan... Tsk, I just want to be a staunch pure love fighter.

"I'm stuffed."

Gu Yuan put down his bowl and chopsticks, stood up with a sour face and was about to leave.

Yuan Yi hurriedly asked, "Are you full? How about I prepare some afternoon tea for you later?"

"No need!" Gu Yuan frowned and replied. Then he looked at his mother and good brother and finally couldn't help but said to Yuan Yi coldly, "Yuan Yi, stop pretending here. Do you think I don't know about your shit?"

"..."

After he finished speaking, everyone at the table looked surprised, and Yuan Yi's face suddenly turned pale.

Seeing that her future mother-in-law and Jian Xi were both looking at her, she hurriedly asked, "Gu Yuan, what are you talking about? What's the matter with me?"

"Humph, you know what's going on!"

Originally, Gu Yuan was planning to save all this for the engagement ceremony the day after tomorrow, but the current situation made him unable to hold back.

Yuan Yi was a little too presumptuous, so he didn't mind saying this to give the other party a warning.

Otherwise, he would have suspected that Yuan Yi dared to sneak into his bed at night.

After saying this, Gu Yuan left, leaving three people at the table with different expressions.

Yuan Yi felt a little numb at the moment. What Gu Yuan said just now was too ambiguous.

It made it seem as if she was having an affair with another man behind Gu Yuan's back!
Especially the way her future mother-in-law and Jian Xi looked at her was a little strange. She explained in a panic: "Aunt Ye, Jian Xi, Gu Yuan may have misunderstood me. There is nothing wrong with me."

Although she had previously had a forbidden love affair with her family's driver that spanned classes, she had broken up with that man after her family arranged for her to marry Gu Yuan.

Yuan Yi felt a little uncomfortable for a moment. In her heart, the person she really liked was the driver, but...it was her parents' arrangement, so what right did she have to choose?

Our family is one that marries each other, and outsiders...

At this moment, Gu Yuan said something that seemed to be true but was not. Yuan Yi was in a state of confusion. Could it be that her love history had been discovered?
Or did you fail to end it cleanly?

But now she has to get over this crisis in front of her future mother-in-law, otherwise all the hard work of the family will be ruined.

But at the same time, Yuan Yi felt some resentment in his heart. Gu Yuan slapped him in the face time and time again, making him embarrassed and unable to save face. Doesn't he have any face to save?
If it weren't for my family's requirements, I would really think I was a bastard and would not let go of Gu Yuan!
However, seeing that her future mother-in-law had a blank expression on her face and her attitude was unclear, Yuan Yi had to admit that she was scared.

Jian Xi just glanced at it a few times and then continued to eat. Today's dish is really green!

"It's okay. Gu Yuan just hasn't given up yet. He was bewitched by Gu Li and was only thinking of some way to change my mind. Humph, I gave him a chance, but he didn't seize it."

At this time, Ye Chuanping, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke. Then she looked at Yuan Yi and reassured the future daughter-in-law, saying, "Don't worry, I chose my own daughter-in-law, and I know what I am doing."

Yuan Yi breathed a sigh of relief, but after listening to what her future mother-in-law said, she still felt a little uneasy. Why did she feel like she also knew something?

But despite being uneasy, Yuan Yi still said to Ye Chuanping with a touched look on her face: "Thank you, Aunt Ye."

"Well, you're getting engaged in a couple of days. You have to be more careful and don't let that Gu Li continue to pester your fiancé."

"Okay Aunt Ye, I will fulfill my duties as a fiancée...wife."

Jian Xi looked at the scene of the loving mother-in-law and the filial daughter-in-law. For some reason, she always felt that the development of things would be a little... different from the plot in her memory.

But he couldn't guess exactly where the difference would be.

It can't be that it's really like what I analyzed before, that Yuan Yi and Gu Li, the two women who didn't fight each other face to face in the original drama, will really fight this time, right?

Looking at Yuan Yi who was eating slowly and with his head lowered, Jian Xi felt that he was overthinking. "Jian Xi." At this time, Ye Chuanping suddenly looked at him and said, "After dinner, come to the study to talk about investment."

"it is good."

See, the benefit of not speaking up for my good brother just now has really come to light.

……

"Jian Xi, are you leaving now?"

In the afternoon, when Jian Xi was about to leave, Yuan Yi, who had disappeared for a while, suddenly appeared again.

"Yeah, is there anything else?" Jian Xi lowered the car window and asked Yuan Yi who was standing outside the car.

Yuan Yi smiled faintly and said softly, "Didn't Gu Yuan send you off?"

"What's there to give? He was taken away by Aunt Ye for a lecture. I'll go back after I've talked to him."

Yuan Yi nodded when he heard this, and after glancing at the direction of the second floor of the villa, he said to Jian Xi: "Jian Xi, you are Gu Yuan's good friend, can I ask you a question?"

"Okay, just ask."

"Do you support me marrying Gu Yuan?"

"..."

As soon as Yuan Yi asked the question, Jian Xi was stunned. Why did the question sound weird? Besides, whether you get married or not, or whether Gu Yuan marries her or not, what does it have to do with me?

So Jian Xi said sincerely: "This... this is your marriage, why are you asking me this?"

However, Yuan Yi just smiled and asked, "It's okay, I just asked. Gu Yuan has always had some opinions about me. You have such a good relationship with Gu Yuan, I'm afraid you also have some opinions."

"What can I say to you about that?"

"Then do you support me marrying Gu Yuan?"

"..." Seeing this woman asking him the same question again, Jian Xi raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "You have so many people supporting you, it's enough without me."

You are just marrying someone. Why are you asking such questions? Do you think you are here to run for the leadership of the community?
Jian Xi responded with a smile, paused for a moment, and then added: "Of course, my personal inclination is to look at fate. Aunt Ye likes you very much, and you are about to get engaged, which proves that you are destined to be together. The blessing I gave you on the phone that day was sincere."

Fate is fate. It is fate, but it is not certain whether you will be destined to be together or not.

Hearing Jian Xi's answer, Yuan Yi smiled without changing her expression. She just brushed a strand of hair that was messed up by the wind behind her ear before speaking: "Thank you, but you are also good friends with that Gu Li, right? If you support me, what will she do?"

"..."

The dog man retracted the smile on his face. He never expected that at this point, he would encounter such a choice.

Damn, you still let others choose women!
Jian Xi was a little surprised in his heart, feeling that this question really made him speechless, so the dog man met Yuan Yi's gaze and smiled.

"I'm just Gu Yuan's buddy. I don't care who becomes the eldest sister-in-law."

Refusing to answer multiple-choice questions is the self-cultivation of every scumbag.

Yuan Yi was stunned for two seconds with a faint smile on her face. She thought that Jian Xi would at least choose her directly in front of her, but she didn't expect to get such an answer.

What is this? Should I praise him for being honest?

What also stunned Jian Xi was that after hearing his answer, Yuan Yi quickly smiled and nodded, then said softly: "I will come out and be your sister-in-law when the time comes."

The voice was small, but extremely firm.

He was so determined that even though Jian Xi had already driven to Pudong, he could still remember Yuan Yi's expression and tone when he said this.

Tsk, why does it feel like she's about to pull out the hidden energy from her back in the next second?
……

"Boss, are you going to get off work?"

Not long after returning to the company, it was time to get off work. After briefly chatting with a few employees and handling some matters, Jian Xi also planned to leave work, but at this moment, Nan Xiang suddenly knocked on the door and stuck his head in.

Looking at Nan Xiang, who had just removed her makeup and put her hair up to reveal her slender neck, the dog man looked strange and nodded, "Yeah, what's wrong? Why don't you leave?"

Nan Xiang pushed the door open, then closed it out of habit before saying with a smile, "I want to practice dancing for a while longer."

"You can just go to the dance studio to practice dancing. Why are you looking for me in my office?"

"I've practiced in the dance studio, and I wanted to let you test it."

Nan Xiang's expression suddenly became awkward. Jian Xi understood immediately after seeing her like this. He leaned back in his chair and smiled, "Isn't this social dance?"

"No."

……

While Nan Xiang in Pudong was mysteriously asking Jian Xi to help her test the new dance she had recently learned, in Puxi, Nan Xiang's ex-boyfriend Xi Cheng was sitting upright in a coffee shop.

'I don't know what Nan Xiang is doing now?'

This thought suddenly popped up in Xi Cheng's mind.

But he quickly took a sip of coffee and used the bitter taste to dispel these thoughts.

Xi Cheng frowned and put the coffee back on the table. His taste tended to be sweet and he had never been used to drinking coffee.

What's more, we came to drink coffee in a cafe that was not high-end but did not seem to be too condescending either.

Last time I bought two cups of milk tea, Xi Cheng felt the pain in his wallet!
If the person he was going to meet next wasn't a little... "important" to him, he would never have spent so much money. This little bit of money was just something he stole on the street yesterday.

After waiting for a while, Xi Cheng took out his mobile phone and checked the time. It was ten minutes past the agreed time!
Xi Cheng was already in a bad mood today because of heavy bleeding and drinking bitter coffee, and now he was in an even worse mood.

But at this moment, a message suddenly popped up in the status bar of the phone.

[The blogger you follow has updated his work].

Xi Cheng's mood instantly improved.

After clicking into an APP that he had just downloaded, Xi Cheng felt his mood calmed down a lot when he saw the familiar figure of Na Dao dancing to social dance to the tune of Tuhai DJ.

Ever since he was scolded when he went to see Nan Xiang last time, Xi Cheng learned his lesson and decided that since he had no money now, he shouldn't rush to see Nan Xiang in person.

So he downloaded some video platforms these days, frantically looking for Nan Xiang on them, and then watched her past works.

It’s true, although these videos seem rustic and awkward at first glance, after watching them for a while, Xi Cheng actually likes them very much.

At least for someone like him who has been hanging out with gangsters since middle school, social quotations and raps sound pretty good.

Even with Nan Xiang's outfit, if Xi Cheng hadn't recognized her offline before, he wouldn't be able to tell at first glance that the spirited girl in the video was Nan Xiang.

"Sir, could you please put on your headphones or turn down the volume?"

Just as Xi Cheng was immersed in Nan Xiang's social dance video on his mobile phone, a waiter came over and whispered in his ear.

"What an idiot, coming to a coffee shop to watch such a tacky video with the volume turned up so loud, this pretty boy has no manners at all!"
