The story of Rose starts with being a brother

Chapter 289: What has already happened does not need to be repeated, what has already been done does not need to be done again
As time passed, the turmoil surrounding the engagement gradually subsided, and Gu Li, the person involved, gradually came to terms with it.

Isn’t it just that the situation with Ye Chuanping has become even worse?

Anyway, before this, Ye Chuanping didn't like her and had no intention of letting her become a daughter-in-law in the Ye family.

If it weren't for my interruption, Yuan Yi would have been the young lady of the Ye family.

So if we look at it dialectically, although he was almost ruined at the time, he at least achieved his goal of ruining the engagement ceremony.

From this point of view, the loss of face was not in vain.

It is always better to lose more than to let the other party win just once!

But what makes Gu Li sad now is that she and Gu Yuan have had no contact since that day.

The only information she knew was what Lin Xiao learned from Jian Xi, and then relayed it to her.

Gu Yuan is now busy working in the Ye family's company. Because of the engagement ceremony, he now needs to conscientiously play the role of a good son and successor to Ye Chuanping.

As long as his mother no longer mentioned finding him a wife, Gu Yuan was willing to be ordered around by her.

Knowing this, Gu Li felt both relieved and uncomfortable.

It seems that Gu Yuan is not that angry now, as long as this point is confirmed, it will be fine.

So Gu Li, who was relieved, decided to have a good party with her sisters, one to celebrate Nan Xiang's return, and the other to get rid of the bad luck.

It feels like although there haven’t been any minor problems during this period of time, once something does happen, it’s a big problem.

First, Lin Xiao was beaten up by his mistress, then Shenggu was facing acquisition, and then the engagement happened.

Gu Li really felt tired.

I urgently need to have a good drink with my friends to vent.

……

January 17th, Saturday, Gu Li’s villa.

"cheers!"

In the restaurant, Gu Li, Lin Xiao, Nan Xiang, Tang Wanru and Jian Xi raised their glasses together around the dining table.

After drinking a glass of wine, Lin Xiao smiled and said, "It's good now. We all live together again, just like a university dormitory."

Then she looked at Nan Xiang across from her and said, "Nan Xiang, why didn't you tell us earlier that you were working for Jian Xi? Otherwise, we wouldn't have to worry so much."

At this point, Lin Xiao lightly hit Jian Xi beside him and said angrily, "You too, why didn't you say anything?"

"Could this be...hiding a beautiful girl in a golden house?"

Before Jian Xi and Nan Xiang, the couple, could say anything, Tang Wanru, who had already started stuffing food into her mouth, spoke first.

"..."

Jian Xi's smile froze, but Nan Xiang put down her wine glass, rolled her eyes at Tang Wanru and said, "Tang Wanru, just eat your food, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Then she picked up the red wine and stood up to add wine to Lin Xiao's glass opposite her, and said with a smile: "Don't blame Jian Xi, it was me who didn't let him tell. I didn't dare to see Gu Li before, because I was afraid that you would find me after Jian Xi told you."

"Gu Li, thank you for forgiving me." After saying this to Lin Xiao, Nan Xiang turned to Gu Li and said.

"Okay!" Gu Li quickly raised her hand to stop her best friend from being pretentious.

Not long ago, she even asked Nan Xiang to forgive her, so there was no need for her to say such hypocritical words anymore.

"Sisters of the times, we will never be separated. Come, let's drink to our reunion!"

At this time, Tang Wanru, who had swallowed the food in her mouth, raised her glass again and shouted, and several people followed suit and clinked their glasses again.

While drinking, Jian Xi raised his eyes slightly and happened to meet Nan Xiang's eyes.

They looked away silently, pretending nothing had happened.

A few days ago, when playing a small game in the office, the message that Lin Xiao suddenly sent instantly made Nan Xiang reach her emotional peak. Compared with a sudden call from her ex-boyfriend, she felt that a sudden message from her best friend was more exciting.

After all, she is stealing her best friend's man.

Jian Xi, on the other hand, was only slightly surprised for a moment, then he became even more interested and his hands moved more vigorously.

In fact, he had expected Lin Xiao to know about this. He even felt that the other party discovered it a little late. It was probably that Lin Quan kept it a secret for a long time before telling Lin Xiao.

Back at Christmas, Lin Quan knew that Nan Xiang was working for him, and he did not hide it that time and simply told him about Nan Xiang.

Including the matter of Nan Xiang being a rocker, um... he also showed Lin Quan Nan Xiang's account.

When Lin Quan saw Nan Xiang's image on the Internet, she was stunned. Is this still the goddess of the Art Department in Shanghai that she knew?
This can't be called a contrast, it's like a completely different person. I even wonder if this is Nan Xiang's second personality.

Later, after learning from Jian Xi that Nan Xiang had previously owed debts to drinking, Lin Quan sighed.

It is really sad to see the former goddess senior student going to be a drinking companion.

But even so, it did not stop Lin Quan from suspecting whether there was an affair between the bastard and Nan Xiang. After all, she had always had deep doubts about this.

So Lin Quan used a polygraph test with a handheld device to force the man to tell him whether he was having an affair with Nan Xiang.

In response, the dog man, who was not panicking to begin with, said very cooperatively: "Nan Xiang and I have never had sex, not to mention sex, we have never even kissed!"

The dog man said this with confidence, without any trace of lying.

As the saying goes, if you don't do anything wrong, you don't have to worry about ghosts knocking on your door. This shows the foresight of the dog man.

Did he have sex with Nan Xiang?
Obviously not!

They were just playing some small games in the office. Not only did he not even get off the chair, he didn't even take off his clothes. How can you say that they had sex with just touching each other?

As for kissing, he has never done that either. The same principle applies: no kissing.

So there was no need for him to lie, and Lin Quan's polygraph test didn't reveal anything.

But later Lin Quan asked Jian Xin whether Lin Xiao knew about Nan Xiang's affairs with him. When he saw him shaking his head, Lin Quan thought about it for a while and understood.

As for the affairs of the Times Sisters, Lin Quan not only learned a lot from him, but also from Lin Xiao, so he could understand why Nan Xiang wanted to avoid them.

After all, they broke up in public and even poured wine on Gu Li's head. Even if she regretted it afterwards, she would not have the face to see her best friend again.

Afterwards, Lin Quan asked Jian Xi about Nan Xiang's current situation and whether she wanted her to help keep it a secret. Jian Xi did not ask for it. Since she had already told it, she naturally did not treat it as a shameful secret.

However, although Jian Xi did not regard this as a secret, it was different in Lin Quan's eyes.

The secret that Lin Xiao wanted to know but didn't know, but she knew it, and it was Jian Xi who told her... How can this not be a sense of superiority?
So Little Green Tea made up her mind that if Lin Xiao asked her where Nan Xiang was one day, she would tell her, but if Lin Xiao didn't ask, there was no need for her to tell her.

The most taboo thing for women, no, for men, is to have a big mouth.

Besides, it’s not like Lin Xiao can’t just ask Nan Xiang directly. Since she still doesn’t know now, doesn’t that mean Nan Xiang doesn’t want to tell?
So from Christmas day, Lin Xiao didn't know about this until almost halfway through this month, which was a bit beyond Jian Xi's expectations. He thought Lin Quan would tell others in a few days! It is worth mentioning that Nan Xiang told Jian Xi about bringing Gu Li home, and also mentioned that she didn't tell Gu Li about her work at Jian Xi's place.

The meaning is very clear, which is to hope Jian Xi can continue to keep the secret.

Unfortunately, when Jian Xi told her that Lin Quan was right next to her when she made the Christmas greeting call, she knew that her hope was dashed.

So when Lin Xiao sent her a message that day, she felt both excited and relieved.

Has it finally been discovered?
Nan Xiang thought so while sitting naked on Jian Xi's lap.

After learning about her best friend's work situation, Lin Xiao was happy at first, but then she couldn't help but start making some different speculations.

She knew too well the charm and reservedness of her best friend. When they were in the dormitory, she dressed up carefully before going out in order to look like a campus goddess.

It’s like when a man praises a girl for her beauty without makeup, saying that she can easily beat those models with full makeup on.

But who can know that the other person is really without makeup?

What men mean by bare face is no long and narrow eyeliner, no creepy white powder, no bright red lips... In short, as long as it is not made-up at first glance, most of them can be classified as bare face.

After all, girls are more sensitive to the fake bare face makeup.

Therefore, Lin Xiao knew very well that her best friend was not some aloof goddess.

She came to Jian Xi's job quietly, and she didn't believe that nothing would happen.

If it were in the past, she thought it was okay. At most, Nan Xiang exuded charm but Jian Xi was unmoved. After all, the two had known each other for so many years and it was normal for them to get along with each other. But after the bastard cheated, Lin Xiao felt that some things needed to be re-evaluated.

Just like what Tang Wanru said just now, about "hiding a beautiful girl in a golden house", she had told Jian Xi about it a few days ago.

The explanation he got was naturally the same as before. What made the man most unbearable was that Lin Xiao also used the same lie detector method as Lin Quan.

I don’t know if this is a method that all women can figure out on their own, or if Lin Quan discussed it with her?
Jian Xi is more inclined to the first one, because he had been tested in this way by women in his previous life.

So unsurprisingly, the dog man passed this test successfully.

But even so, Lin Xiao still didn't dare to be completely at ease. The sudden appearance of Lin Quan had already made her upset, and if Nan Xiang also showed up, she would really feel like the sky was falling.

The scene of Jian Xi and Lin Quan having a happy Christmas last Christmas was still vivid in her mind. She pretended to be calm these days, but that scene would appear in her mind whenever she was distracted.

However, what made Lin Xiao most sad was that she didn't feel too angry about being caught cheating in bed.

I don’t know if it’s because she has been mentally prepared for a long time, and because she and Lin Quan knew everything that happened during the breakup, so she had anticipated such a situation.

It is nothing more than the embodiment of the images that are often imagined in the mind.

So she was not only sad that she had lost the anger to catch the adultery in front of Lin Quan, but also even more sad that she had to pretend to turn a blind eye to it. She didn't even dare to think about what the scene would be like if Lin Quan and Jian Xi knew that she actually saw it at the door that day?
It was obvious that they were together behind her back, but she suffered a lot.

So now that Lin Xiao is worried about Jian Xi and Nan Xiang, her next plan can be summed up in one sentence - what has happened does not need to be repeated, and what has been done does not need to be done again.

Therefore, Lin Xiao, who had made up his mind about the action plan, once again raised the question in public at the party tonight about why Nan Xiang worked under Jian Xi without telling them.

Why ask if you know the answer?
Of course it was a wake-up call for them!
Especially when Tang Wanru said "a beautiful girl hidden in a golden house", Lin Xiao wanted to kiss her after hearing it. Although Wanru was a little stupid, sometimes you need a fool like this to talk to you.

We can't let her speak for herself, can we?

Lin Xiao, who was drinking and chatting with everyone while peeling shrimps, secretly gave himself a thumbs up for his smart behavior just now. Humph, ever since the incident with Lin Quan, my IQ, Lin Xiao, has reached the level of the college entrance examination!

However, under the tablecloth, a smooth little foot without socks was rubbing against the calf of the man next to her, and was gradually climbing up.

"Jian Xi, your shrimp."

The corners of Jian Xi's mouth twitched slightly. Looking at the plate of peeled shrimp meat that Lin Xiao brought in front of him, he felt inexplicably sad in his heart. What a beast he was!

But then he glanced at Nan Xiang, who was acting out her close friendship with Gu Li across from him, and sighed that Nan Xiang was such a brat!
It's already this late, and Lin Xiao was still hinting at something just now, but Nan Xiang still dared to do this.

The watery and misty look in the other person's eyes seemed to Gu Li and the others to be because Nan Xiang had drunk too much, but the dog man knew very well that it was definitely because this guy had a fever.

It's exactly the same as it was in the office!
Maybe what Lin Xiao said just now irritated her...

"Lin Xiao, why are you still helping Jian Xi peel shrimps?" At this time, Nan Xiang, who had just finished toasting with Gu Li, turned around and said to Lin Xiao, her best friend, "It's ok for him to order me around in the company, but now that he's not in the company, he's still ordering you around?"

Lin Xiao laughed when he heard this and said, "Jian Xi is not good at peeling shrimps. When he peels them, he always loses the meat."

Of course Lin Xiao said this against her will. After all, Jian Xi used to peel shrimps very well. But once when the two of them were playing a game of breaking the game, this guy suddenly offered to peel seafood as a stake. Since she was in a situation where she would win more than she would lose, she agreed directly. As a result... this is what happened now.

After finishing speaking, Lin Xiao asked curiously, "Does Jian Xi often order you around in the company?"

"Yes, he is the big boss. Not only do I get ordered around by him, but sometimes I even have to stay and work overtime!" Nan Xiang began to pretend to "complain". "Lin Xiao, you are the boss's wife, you have to help me make the decision!"

"cough!"

The dog man who was eating shrimp silently coughed lightly. If Nan Xiang had not suddenly increased the intensity at the end, he would have almost thought that the other party was really "complaining".

I don't know what kind of overtime this refers to.

This bastard, I used my hands on her in the office, and now she is using her feet on me in Gu Li's villa, right?

After slightly adjusting his sitting position to make himself more comfortable, Jian Xi smiled and said, "This is a startup company, so you have to be more understanding. It's not like I won't pay you overtime. Besides, it's not just you who's working overtime, other employees are also working overtime, so don't I have to work overtime too?"

After a pause, the dog man added meaningfully: "Overtime is purely voluntary. I won't force you. Isn't it you who actively asks for overtime every time you work overtime?"

"..."

Nan Xiang couldn't stand the flirting words that only the two of them understood to her best friend's man in front of her best friend. She quickly took a sip of wine to suppress her anger, and then acted as if she had no answer to what the boss said.

I just secretly increased the movements of my feet.

Lin Xiao, who didn't notice anything was wrong, said with embarrassment: "I can't help with this matter. I can't interfere in the affairs of Jianxi Company."

At this point, she first made a helpless expression towards Nan Xiang, then changed her face and said sweetly: "Besides, Jian Xi and I are in the same group. He wants the employees to work overtime, so I can only follow his lead."

"Hate it, Lin Xiao, you are also a worker, but you actually stand on Jian Xi's side. You should all hang street lights."

"Whee!"

Nan Xiang rolled her eyes at her and then asked, "If I were to meet you now and Jian Xi asked me to work overtime, would you agree?"

"Hmm..." Hearing this question, Lin Xiao pretended to frown and pondered for a few seconds, then slowly said, "Well, I think... nothing should disturb our bestie dinner... but!"

"But you, Lin Xiao, are a close friend who values ​​women over friendship, right?"

At this time, Gu Li suddenly took over the conversation and directly exposed Lin Xiao's true face.

Lin Xiao just chuckled and looked at Nan Xiang embarrassedly.

After getting the answer, Nan Xiang shook her head helplessly: "Even the boss lady said so, then I have no choice but to work overtime, right? Boss~"

Boss Jian silently adjusted his sitting position to make it easier for him to cooperate with Nan Xiang's overtime work.
