Ji Lan's face turned pale, and the wine glass on the table was knocked over by him on the ground unconsciously. With a "pop", the sound of the glass breaking attracted many people's attention.

"Xiaoyuan?" Mu Yunzhou put a hand on Ji Lan's shoulder and called out with concern.

Mu Yunzhou's voice had a calming magic power, and the restless emotions gradually subsided.Ji Lan shook her head, "I'm fine."

After finding the waiter to clean up the mess, Mu Yunzhou helped Ji Lan to rest on a seat beside him, "Your face looks so bad."

Ji Lan's face turned pale, and he didn't have much strength to speak, so he could only call A Si in his heart.

"Ace, are you there?"

no respond.

He was used to Ah Si disappearing from time to time. In the words of the other party, "Busy business, don't bother with other things".I don't know how much business he can be busy with as a system.

Ji Lan looked up, and Jiang Kaize, who was speaking on stage, had disappeared.

It seems that something special happened between Jiang Kaize and Lu Yuan.And what will the part of Lu Yuan's lost memory be?

Really, boy Ashina disappeared at such an important time.Fortunately, apart from the momentary rejection just now, there was no other abnormality in the body.

"What's the matter?" Mu Yunzhou handed Ji Lan a glass of water and asked softly.

"Probably... hypoglycemia." Ji Lan squeezed out a forced smile, and after a short rest, he slowly regained some strength for joking.

A pair of warm hands were placed on Ji Lan's forehead, and a warm current was transmitted from the place where the skin touched the forehead to all the limbs.The body suddenly became very light, and all the discomfort disappeared in an instant.

Ji Lan raised his head to look into Mu Yunzhou's eyes, but Mu Yunzhou moved his hand away in front of his gaze, "There is no fever, so there should be no problem."

Okay, okay, but...

A strange feeling rose in Ji Lan's heart. What did he look like? What did Mu Yunzhou do to him?

But before Ji Lan could react, someone walked up to them and interrupted Ji Lan's train of thought.

"Mr. Mu? It really is you. I thought you wouldn't come." The person who came was also in a suit and leather shoes, but his hairline was too high and his middle-aged body made him not handsome.

"Mr. He." Mu Yunzhou nodded to him.

The visitor turned his gaze to Ji Lan again, "Who is this?"

"My company's signed artist, Lu Yuan." Mu Yunzhou replied lightly.

"So it's Mr. Lu, hello." Mr. He greeted Ji Lan politely, then smiled and said to Mu Yunzhou, "By the way, there are several friends over there who want to see you, otherwise..."

Mu Yunzhou looked in the direction Mr. He pointed, and there were indeed some men in suits gathered there.Mu Yunzhou was a little helpless, but he couldn't refuse the necessary communication, after all, this reception was hosted by him.

He patted Ji Lan's shoulder and said in a low voice, "You take a rest, I'll go back as soon as I go."

Mu Yunzhou followed Mr. He and left. Ji Lan was about to stand up when A Si's voice sounded in Ji Lan's mind at the right time.

"Host, did you just call me?"

"You still know how to come back, why don't you just let me fend for myself in this world!" Ji Lan gritted her teeth.

"How is this going to work, it's not in line with the work ethic of our system."

"Stop talking nonsense," Ji Lan asked, "What happened just now? Why did Lu Yuan reject me suddenly? Also, I seem to suddenly recall some memories that I didn't receive before."

"Being rejected means that you have touched the restricted area of ​​the original owner." Asi replied, "The subconscious mind of a person is difficult to control. Pain, fear, and despair may all form restricted areas in the mind. He feels that he has been violated. Naturally it will reject you."

"What, I've lived in his body for so long, yet I'm still worried about me." Ji Lan said helplessly.

"As for the new memories you mentioned, I guess that Lu Yuan's memory has been damaged, and just now due to some kind of stimulation, the memory has been reopened." Asi said.

Is it because of Jiang Kaize?

Ji Lan said: "So, that part of the memory should be his experience before death. Because of pain and despair, he chose to close this part of the memory? No wonder he didn't want me to help him find out the cause of death."

In this way, Jiang Kaize is very likely to have something to do with Lu Yuan's death.

Ji Lan asked again: "That memory is too vague, do you have a way to open it?"

"Fireproof, anti-theft, anti-spoiler, you, the host, find a way to find out." Asi said.

Ji Lan: ...

Before the auction, there was still a short break, and everyone present seized the time to greet each other.

This kind of private gathering of bigwigs in the circle is rare a few times a year, and it can be said to be the best time to expand their network.However, this meant little to Ji Lan.Ji Lan, who was resting in a corner, took a few mouthfuls of warm water, and soon revived with blood.He propped his head up and looked around at the handsome men and women present.

For him, besides having a lot of delicious food for free, the most important thing about the reception is that there are a group of beauties in costumes, which can satisfy both the eyes and the taste, which is not a loss.

On the other hand, Mu Yunzhou is far less leisurely than Ji Lan.

I wanted to deal with it and go back to accompany Ji Lan, but there was an endless stream of people who wanted to toast and greet him, and there were many female artists in low-cut evening dresses and delicate-faced little fresh meats who threw themselves into their arms.

Mu Yunzhou has seen this kind of scene a lot, his face is calm, he talks and laughs happily, and looks like he will not refuse anyone who comes.

When Ji Lan turned her head, what she saw was such a scene.

Just now he was booing and inquiring about his health, but now there is a beauty by his side, and he is distracted.Ji Lan squeezed the water glass in her hand, with such strength that she almost destroyed another glass.

Although I don't know why, but seeing so many beauties around Mu Yunzhou makes me angry.However, he has a problem, he can't help doing things in a fit of anger.

Ji Lan put the water glass on the table, replaced it with a glass of champagne, stood up and looked around, and found the figure she was looking for as expected.

The pure silver suit stood out in the crowd, and Su Yihan had a handsome face. Even in such an occasion, that person still looked like he refused to be seen thousands of miles away.

With a smile on the corner of Ji Lan's mouth, she walked slowly towards the target.

These days, people with good looks and good acting skills are easy to become popular, like Su Yihan who has both, it is no problem to climb to the current status.But also because of this, his communication ability is far below the baseline.

It's not that I can't do it, but I'm too lazy to learn.

Su Yihan belongs to the lucky one. He was selected by a great director when he debuted, and he rose to the top by relying on his talent. He has never put much effort into interpersonal communication, let alone coping with occasions like receptions.

Normally, he would have Zhao Zhe to help him take care of everything, but God knows where Zhao Zhe went today, and no one was seen after the reception started for more than an hour.It gave Su Yihan a headache.

"Hey, isn't this Su Yihan, Su Yingdi?" Just as Su Yihan was thinking about whether to find an excuse to leave in advance, a woman dressed like a lady walked towards him.

"Hello."

"Su Yingdi really lives up to his reputation. He is handsome and talented. I have watched your masterpiece several times." The woman leaned on him as she said that, and the heavy smell of makeup made him frown.

"This lady..."

"Don't be so polite, my surname is Yang, and I also work in film and television." The woman took out a business card from her handbag and put it in Su Yihan's suit pocket, "To be honest, my company has a big movie project. With an investment of more than 3 million, he is planning to find actor Su to act. If you are interested, why don't we chat?"

"For work matters, please contact my agent." Su Yihan took half a step back indistinctly.

"Then what if... it's not just about work?"

The woman's winking eyes were like silk, and Su Yihan showed a hint of disgust.

In this circle, no matter where you are, there will always be unspoken rules.Thinking of this, the disgust in Su Yihan's eyes grew stronger, and just as he was about to explode, a hand was placed on his shoulder.

"Brother Yi Han, you are here." Ji Lan smiled, and glanced at the business card in the woman's hand, "Hey, isn't this Mr. Yang from Wuyang Film and Television? Our Mr. Mu was still looking for you just now and said I'm toasting you."

Ji Lan pointed in the direction of Mu Yunzhou, who was talking with a group of directors of some film and television companies.Noticing Ji Lan's gaze, Mu Yunzhou turned his head and glanced in their direction.

Mr. Yang was pleasantly surprised. Long before she came, she had already planned to get in touch with Yaohua, but she didn't expect that Yaohua's vice president just said a word and left. She didn't get any chance. arrive.

Fortunately, Jiang Kaize left and Mu Yunzhou came.

Mr. Yang quickly walked towards Mu Yunzhou with the wine in his hand. After saying a few words, Mu Yunzhou frowned, and could only cast a helpless look at Ji Lan.

This kid ran to find Su Yihan without looking at him for a while, and caused him such a big trouble. Mu Yunzhou felt that he might have adopted a fake lover.

Ji Lan raised the champagne in his hand, took a sip, and raised his chin triumphantly.

It seems to be saying, what are you doing to me?

"Thank you." Su Yihan's voice reached Ji Lan's ears, a little less indifferent and alienated.

Ji Lan turned to look at him, and touched his glass with the champagne glass in her hand, "It's easy."

"You help me out, aren't you afraid that Mr. Mu will trouble you?"

"There's nothing to be afraid of, he will only threaten me verbally." By the way, he moved his hands and feet like a hooligan.Thinking about what happened in the afternoon, Ji Lan silently swallowed the last half of the sentence.

"It seems that he treats you very well."

The fact that Lu Yuan was taken care of by Mu Yunzhou is not a secret in the circle, but no one revealed it.After all, no one dared to easily challenge the authority of Yaohua's boss.

"It's good, it's a pity..." Ji Lan approached Su Yihan, and whispered a word in his ear, "I have my heart."

After all, Ji Lan winked at Su Yihan, then turned and left under Su Yihan's slightly dazed gaze.

The teasing was so blunt that he couldn't stand it anymore.

Ji Lan drank the champagne in the glass in one gulp, and let out a long breath.

Quickly drink a sip of wine to suppress the shock.

The auction started soon, and Ji Lan found a remote corner to continue his food business.Su Yihan was so irritated that he didn't dare to talk to him, and Mu Yunzhou was entangled and couldn't come to him, so it happened to let him have a leisurely time.

One by one, the lots were put on the stage, and even the most inconspicuous items could fetch high prices.Everyone knows that in an auction in the name of charity, the most important thing is never the collection value of the lot itself, but how much blood you are willing to give to charity.

"The following is the last lot of this auction." Just when Ji Lan was about to fall asleep watching, the host finally showed the last lot.

A delicate and compact box was placed on the booth and slowly pushed to the center.Ji Lan raised her head abruptly, her eyes locked on the box.

For the first time in his many years of living, he felt such a strong feeling.The things inside have absolutely powerful power, like some kind of poison, tempting him to take it for himself.

The emotional change caused Ji Lan's blood to surge, and his whole body became slightly hot.

"Hey, I met a good thing." Asi's voice came, without the usual calmness.Ji Lan held the necklace through her clothes, and the originally cold metal texture became a little hot.

"what is that?"

Ji Lan's breathing was disordered, he was staring at the box on the stage tightly, his heart beating faster.

"The starting price for a first-grade opal appraised by an internationally renowned appraiser is [-]." It was the host's introduction that answered him.All the spotlights converged on the stage, the exquisite box was opened, and a round opal lay quietly on the red cloth and satin.There is a yellow-green light flowing in the opal, like a living thing.However, there is a crack on this opal, which is stained with blood.

Ji Lan's breath stopped when he saw it, even a half-assed person like him could tell that this is a treasure, a priceless treasure.

"This...isn't something that should be in the mortal world." Asi sighed, "It's a pity that mortals don't know the goods, so they set such a low price."

He spoke well. After seeing this lot, everyone present showed disappointed eyes.Compared with diamond jewellery, famous brand high definition, and famous paintings, this opal is really not a treasure, not to mention that it has flaws.

No matter what kind of priceless treasure it is, it is now just a plaything that is placed on the booth for people to choose and buy, and the final ownership is to spend time in a dark warehouse together with other collections.

Ji Lan was instantly engulfed by an unexplained sadness. He stared at the opal in a daze, feeling a sense of déjà vu.

"Twenty thousand." Someone asked for a price, and Ji Lan turned her head to see a well-dressed young girl holding a number card in her hand expressionlessly.

"I'll pay thirty thousand." "Fifty thousand." "Fifty-five thousand."...

The price slowly rose, making Ji Lan even more irritable.

This thing should not be auctioned like this here, nor should it fall into the hands of those who don't know how to appreciate it.

"One hundred thousand."

When Ji Lan spoke, the crowd was silent for a moment, and then began to discuss.Everyone's eyes focused on him, as if they were confirming how anyone would be willing to pay one hundred thousand for such an unremarkable broken stone.

It took Ji Lan a while to realize that he had said the price just now, and he took half a step back with a rare shame on his face.I don't know if Lu Yuan's deposit is enough for [-] yuan. If he asked Mu Yunzhou to borrow it, would he lend it to him?

Ji Lan turned her head and met Mu Yunzhou's gaze not far away.

The latter looked at him from a distance, with surprise in his eyes, and even a hint of... surprise?Then, the corners of Mu Yunzhou's mouth curled up, showing him a gentle but firm smile.

Like, Qin Hao's smile when he left.

All the sounds around him seemed to disappear. Ji Lan saw Mu Yunzhou holding up the card in his hand, and his slightly deep voice clearly reached his ears:

"100."
