Teddy's Counterattack Guide [Rebirth]

The scheduled time for the funeral was 02:30 in the afternoon. It was still early, and coupled with the bad weather conditions, not all the guests invited to attend had arrived at Xishan Villa.

After signing the signature book at the entrance, Du Hui led the three of them to a single room on the first floor to rest, and sent someone to prepare tea and snacks.After everything was arranged properly, he explained to Gu Jinglin that he was going to help guide the guests, and then quickly left the lounge.

There are two suitable opportunities to sneak into the study on the second floor. One is to take advantage of the fact that there are not many guests at this time, and the servants of the Lu family are busy preparing to welcome the guests, and have no time to take care of the small characters wandering around in the villa; the other is to wait until the worship is over. Everyone left, and the convoy was about to leave before sending the urn to the cemetery.

Lu Yan wasn't sure if he could quickly find the appraisal result in the study, and he didn't know how long the process would take, so in his heart, he didn't want to miss both opportunities.Now Gu Jinglin is completely clear about his purpose, but the problem is that there is still a manager in this room who doesn't want to see him. According to Xi Chen's precise and rigorous personality, if he dares to act rashly regardless of the influence on Gu Jinglin, Xi Chen must be the first one not to agree.

Moreover, Lu Yan himself has concerns about this point. He used Gu Jinglin's identity to enter the door, so he must be more cautious in everything.Otherwise, if he gets into trouble, his identity may not be exposed, but the two parties in the conflict are directly referring to Gu Jinglin and the Lu family. Gu Jinglin is a contracted artist under a subsidiary of the Lu Group, and no matter how famous he is, he is still under the control of others.

Lu Yan sat on the sofa, looked absently at the wall clock on the wall, and then looked at Gu Jinglin next to him, his eyes obviously wanted to say something.

Gu Jinglin knew what he was concerned about, and after a few seconds of silence, he said to Xi Chen: "I was in a hurry to get out of the car just now, I left my phone in the storage compartment of the co-pilot, go and get it for me."

Hearing this, Xi Chen didn't respond on the surface, but quickly glanced at Lu Yan, then nodded to Gu Jinglin, and said, "Okay, wait a moment." After speaking, he took an umbrella, opened the door and left to rest room.

After he left, Gu Jinglin picked up the tea cup on the coffee table and blew lightly, without looking at Lu Yan, he said bluntly, "You can't go out now."

The plan in Lu Yan's heart hadn't been mentioned yet, but the other party choked him back completely with just one sentence. He was caught off guard. He didn't expect Gu Jinglin to guess his mind so accurately. Yan Youzhi opened his mouth, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, and asked, "Why?"

"This is the disadvantage of following me in." Gu Jinglin smiled.

Lu Yan didn't understand what he meant, and frowned slightly in puzzlement.

Gu Jinglin explained: "Compared with Xi Chen, your identity is indeed a little-known little assistant, and you are also a newcomer. It stands to reason that going out for a walk will not attract the attention of others, but don't forget, you are with He came in behind me." At this point, he paused for a while, and took a sip of his tea very leisurely, which also gave Lu Yan, a returnee who is not so sensitive to Chinese, a relatively long reaction time.

"Mr. Gu is worried that even if I am a newcomer by your side, I will be remembered by others?" Lu Yan was uncertain.

"It will definitely be remembered." Gu Jinglin corrected lightly, "You didn't grow up in Lu's family, so you don't know the life of this kind of wealthy family. The people in this house, whether they are servants, gardeners, bodyguards, or drivers , each of them is very shrewd, remembering the identities of the guests is the best way to watch people order food, this is the unwritten rule of the host."

"Don't look at us only going this way. Even if those people don't know you, they can still put a label on you. When you go out through this door, what they care about is not you, but 'Do I need anything? ’, when the time comes, people will naturally come up to ask questions, and they will stare at you even if you refuse, how do you go to the study on the second floor in this situation?”

Lu Yan's face was not very good after listening to it, he was silent for a while, and said, "Then what does Mr. Gu mean?"

"Wait until it's over." Gu Jinglin said, "It's easier to find an excuse to stay."

Lu Yan nodded and stopped talking.Gu Jinglin stared sideways at him for a while, and finally poured a cup of tea herself and put it in his hand.

"This is a public tea set," Lu Yan declined, "I won't drink it."

"I know," Gu Jinglin said, "The suburbs are humid, so warm your hands."

His voice fell, and there was a "dong" sound from the lounge door, and the two fell silent for a moment, and looked towards the door at the same time.

The sound had no beginning or end, as if the visitor was interrupted by something just as soon as he knocked on the door.

Immediately afterwards, a man's voice sounded, and the man said, "Mr. Luo, are you here to see us, Young Master Gu?"

Lu Yan recognized that it was Xi Chen, and was a little nervous when he heard that someone was coming.Gu Jinglin put down the teacup, stretched out his hand to hold Lu Yan's wrist, and exerted a little force in a comforting manner, saying, "It's a friend of mine, the one who brought the Samoyed to the apartment that day. He's a nice guy. Just be careful not to talk. I'll introduce you tonight." .”

Lu Yan was taken aback, thinking how to introduce his identity to others?Isn't this a joke? !However, before he had time to refute, the door handle "clicked" and opened from the outside.

Before the door opened, Gu Jinglin let go.

At the same time, the agent responsible for opening the door stood aside very politely and said, "Mr. Luo, please."

Luo Shaoze, who followed closely behind, never regarded good buddies as outsiders. After thanking Xi Chen, he strode into the lounge.Then, as a serious face control, before Luo Baobao had time to say hello to Gu Jinglin, his attention was first attracted by the beauty sitting next to him.

First reaction - overdressed.

The second reaction after looking down—tsk, flat chest?Pity!

Behind him, Xi Chen and Gu Jinglin looked at each other, consciously did not enter the house, and stayed outside after closing the door, so as not to disturb them by other visitors.

Luo Shaoze came over and sat down on the single sofa facing Lu Yan, raised his long legs, and smirked at Gu Jinglin: "What's the situation, why don't you introduce me?"

"Life assistant." Gu Jinglin said solemnly.

"Stop talking nonsense!" Luo Shaoze wrote "I believe you a ghost" on his face, resting his chin with one hand, gently sweeping his lower lip with his thumb, and urged impatiently, "Hurry up and tell the truth, when did you meet?" How long? And—why do you like flat breasts?!"

Lu Yan who got shot inexplicably: "..."

The corner of Lu Yan's mouth twitched, thinking that Gu Jinglin's friend was too straightforward, he was also a man, but if someone of the opposite sex was told that he had a flat chest when he met him for the first time, who could bear it?

Gu Jinglin didn't speak in a hurry, but raised his eyes and looked at Lu Yan. He just thought the expression of this little guy who dared to be angry and dared not speak was very interesting. He couldn't help but slightly bent his mouth and said: "It's not convenient now, I'll introduce you tonight , this kid is easy to shy, don't bully him."

Hearing this, Luo Shaoze despised him with a look of "seeing sex and forgetting righteousness", shook his head and said, "I said, why did you suddenly agree to come to play, there is no need to prepare people, I dare to find it by myself!"

"Yes." Gu Jinglin followed his will and admitted generously, "How do you feel?"

Luo Shaoze smiled with an angry face, blinked his right eye at Lu Yan very frivolously, and said only one word: "positive!"

Lu Yan: "..."

what to do?Lu Sanshao was a little speechless, and now he really wanted to beat up the bad guy who said he had a flat chest.

Luo Shaoze has a built-in function to block unfriendly gazes. While continuing to stare at Lu Yan, he asked Gu Jinglin casually: "Quickly confess, where did you meet? Is she a model because of her height? Or a theater student who just graduated? With such a good resource If you don't call me, don't you think I'm a buddy?!"

Gu Jinglin thought about the first question objectively for a while, then smiled and said, "I met on the bed."

Luo Shaoze, who was abused out of nowhere: "..."

Lu Sanshao, whose three views were shattered but unable to refute: "..."

"But having said that, you are really dishonest. A few days ago, I don't know who pretended to tell me that the company has a lot of things to keep a low profile." Luo Shaoze said with a smile, "In the end, I attended someone's funeral and put my little one Brought by your lover, Jing Lin, aren't you afraid that the third young master of the Lu family will jump out of the coffin to look for you after showing off your face?"

Lu Yan: "???"

Is this person sick too? !Lu Yan couldn't stand it, but it was inconvenient to speak because of his status.

Seeing his reaction, Gu Jinglin wanted to laugh, but he could only hold back, and teased: "That's good, I heard that the third young master looks good." He looked at Lu Yan unintentionally, and continued, "If he I am naturally honored to be willing to take the initiative to find me.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Shaoze was immediately amused, but he didn't dare to laugh too much.

Luo Shaoze didn't know that the person sitting across from him was Lu Sanshao. Although it was a little uncomfortable to be asked to attend the funeral on his birthday, Luo Shaoze knew that the deceased was the reason no matter how reluctant he was.He still weighed it in his heart, thinking that there was something wrong with his buddy, he didn't even make jokes often in the past, why did he make fun of the late Third Young Master Lu today?

It's also really rare.

Afterwards, the two continued to chat nonsense, and when the funeral was about to start, Xi Chen knocked on the door and came in to remind the time.The three people in the lounge got up one by one and went out. Led by a subordinate who came to meet them, they came to the lobby on the first floor of the Lu family mansion.

Just like when I entered the door last time, the entire hall was decorated with black gauze and white banners to look like a mourning hall. There was no incense, but a lot of wreaths were placed.Because the third young master died in a car accident and no bones remained, an empty urn was placed in the center of the flower clusters in the middle of the hall, and the portrait of the deceased was placed in front of the urn.

It's a little ridiculous that the Lu family didn't have a recent photo of the third young master because they never contacted him, and they used a photo of the middle school graduate, which looked very small at first glance.But even so, no one would feel wrong, except Lu Yan himself and Gu Jinglin who had seen the photo of the uniform.

The time was close to 02:30, and all the invited guests were present.

Lu Yan took a rough look around, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional—he has never been back to the country, and he doesn't have half a confidant in the country. He never thought that so many people could be invited to a funeral "after death". Prominent people participate.Those who came to express their condolences did not even know anything about the portraits in the black and white photos, but they could bow down piously and present the bouquet.In addition to power and interests, it is impossible to have any feelings for him.

At 02:30 in the afternoon, the funeral officially began.

Li Shujun, wearing a black dress, walked down the stairs, followed by her three children and bodyguard Du Hui.

For a moment, the entire mourning hall was silent, except for the crisp and sharp sound of high heels hitting the ground.

Lu Yan held his breath involuntarily, and his eyes fell on Li Shujun for a moment, watching her stand still before the urn, and bowed respectfully towards all the guests.

Looking up again, the woman's pale face was covered with two tears, and she staggered slightly as if she couldn't control it. She stood half a step behind her. Shoulder.

Lu Yan opened his eyes wide in surprise, almost amused by this tragic scene: "The acting skills are really good." He sighed with emotion in a low voice.

"The level of third-tier actors," Gu Jinglin commented objectively, "but it is enough."

Then Li Shujun began to speak, probably to express his gratitude to everyone who took the time out of their busy schedules to express their condolences.

Lu Yan was not interested in listening to such scenes, so she shifted her gaze slightly to the people behind her.Before this, he had met his eldest brother Lu Boyuan and his younger sister Lu Siqi, and had gained a certain understanding of their personalities through conversations, so this time he was mainly looking at the one among the three siblings.

The second young master of the Lu family is named Lu Yunhuan, this is the only information Lu Yan knows about this second elder brother, the rest are some unpleasant memories.The age gap between the two is not too big, Lu Yan was young back then, and Lu Yunhuan was also young.Lu Yan only remembered that his second brother had a soft personality and loved to cry. Sometimes he often followed Lu Boyuan to bully him. Generally speaking, it was because he was not doing well, but Lu Yunheng cried first.

But it was precisely because of this that no matter how much Li Shujun hated Lu Yan, she couldn't continue to pretend not to see her child crying.So she would definitely intervene, and the result was that Lu Yunheng was taken away by the nanny, and Lu Yan was fined and sent to confinement.At that time, Lu Yan felt that this was not a bad situation, at least he would not be injured in the confinement room.

Today is not what it used to be, and now looking at the second brother who loved to cry back then, his appearance has completely changed.

Unlike Lu Boyuan's neat formal attire, Lu Yunheng only wore a black shirt and dark trousers without a tie. He looked more casual, but he didn't feel rude.His appearance has inherited Li Shujun's advantages, his facial features are soft and beautiful, his skin is very fair, and his temperament is gentle and quiet. He is neither as sharp and wise as his elder brother, nor as perverse and rebellious as his younger sister. He is a standard young master of a wealthy family. decent.

He stood quietly behind Li Shujun, seeing his mother crying, he just handed her a tissue, and then stood back quietly, with a dull expression like an outsider, showing no emotion or sadness.

This is the reaction of a normal person, Lu Yan thought to himself, even if he doesn't know who is in the box, crying is not a waste of energy.

After Li Shujun finished speaking, she stood at the end of the mourning hall as the host to express her gratitude to the guests who had finished the worship.The young masters and young ladies of the Lu family dispersed and guided the guests together with the servants.

The crowd who seemed to be still just now began to move slowly, carrying out the process of picking flowers, worshiping, and exchanging polite words of comfort with the hostess in an orderly manner.Then stand far away and use the opportunity of the gathering of guests from all sides to chat with the target who wants to get closer.

Lu Yan quickly glanced at the positions of several people, feeling that they are busy with their own business right now, and after the end, they will organize the guests to board the car and go to the cemetery. I am afraid that no one will go upstairs for a while. It is a very good time with plenty of time. Chance!

He made up his mind instantly, touched the back of Gu Jinglin's hand with his left hand calmly, and said in a low voice: "I'm going, see you in the parking lot later?"

Gu Jinglin hesitated for a few seconds, then nodded in agreement.

After getting permission, Lu Yan turned around and walked through the crowd, quickly disappearing behind a side door in the hall.

Xi Chen watched Lu Yan leave helplessly, couldn't help frowning, and looked at Gu Jinglin questioningly.The latter just shook his head, not knowing whether he meant "it's okay" or "don't worry about it".

Lu Yan didn't choose to take the stairs in the living room, that was too obvious, he remembered that there was another one behind the kitchen specially for the servants, the location was very hidden, and there must be no one there now.

He found the kitchen according to the location he remembered, pushed open the wooden door in the stairwell, entered sideways, and quickly closed it tightly with his backhand.

The stairs are very narrow, and the wooden steps have been damped during the rainy season, and some have become loose. Moreover, the entire stairwell is embedded in the building, without windows, and the only lighting is a wall lamp at the cross-floor, which looks very depressing.

Lu Yan wore women's boots with heels. In order not to attract attention, he had to walk very lightly, so as to avoid the sound of the boots on the steps as much as possible.

Sure enough, there was no servant on the second floor of the villa, and everything went as expected.

Lu Yan found the study room familiarly, and turned the doorknob lightly.

——When the same display as that day was displayed in front of him, he could still clearly remember Li Shujun's sentence "letting you in is the greatest shame to the Lu family".

Can't tell whether it's excitement or anger, Lu Yan's five fingers hanging by his side are clasped unconsciously, his joints are white, and he trembles slightly with force, he seems relieved, since he was reborn until now, it's the first time he really I really feel that "being able to live" is really the greatest charity given to him by God.
