The Deepest Color of the Night

After the engagement ceremony, there was a thank-you dinner held in Ke's auditorium.There is no elder of Gu Yuan in the direct line of the Ke family, and all the details are up to him to decide. Fortunately, Gu Yuan grew up in a wealthy family and is very familiar with formal occasions in the upper class. Merry.

Although the grievances and grievances of the Gu Ke family have almost been put on the table, but Fang Jin is young, handsome, and powerful, and there are still many celebrities from all walks of life who come to strike up a conversation.Fang Jin calmly dealt with them one by one, and after about half an hour, he excused himself to go to the bathroom and walked out of the magnificent banquet hall alone.

He walked along the corridor to the rooftop at the end, and the night wind blew past his face, and his mind suddenly cleared up.

Gu Yuan should still be at the banquet at this time, he is the protagonist of today.

Looking at the deep night in the distance, Fang Jin couldn't help but think of the thought that had haunted him all afternoon -- why is Gu Yuan still wearing that ring?

He vaguely caught a glimpse of it when they were shaking hands on the flower bed in the afternoon, but he couldn't be sure at the time, it was just Gu Yuan's engagement ring—a plain ring for men is similar, and Gu Yuan's titanium ring was not set with diamonds, so at a glance, there was no such thing as an engagement ring. I can't tell the difference in style; what's more, the ring that matches him is a proof to Gu Yuan that his dignity has been humiliated and he has no eyes. with it.

In all fairness, if it were any normal man, he would have thrown it in the trash can and never wanted to see him again.

But at night the reception was brightly lit, and when Gu Yuan walked slowly past him on the red carpet with Chi Qiu on his arm, Fang Jin took another careful look.

Although the luster of titanium and platinum is similar, they are still different under the light, so it should...maybe...it is the one that is paired with me.

Then, in what mood did Gu Yuan put it on his finger?

commemorate?Nostalgia?Or do you hang on to your absurd love and pathetic stupidity?

Or, just remind yourself not to dedicate your affection to someone who is not worth it like in the past?

Fang Jin laughed at himself, covered his mouth with his fist, and let out a dull cough.

Of course he hoped that there was even a sliver of affection in that ordinary ring, but he also knew that it was best not to have such unrealistic fantasies.Not to mention that he is undergoing chemotherapy, it is difficult for his body to withstand the emotional ups and downs of hope and disappointment; even if Gu Yuan has such a strong self-esteem, someone who is so determined to train himself will not allow himself to wear a suit at the engagement ceremony. The pairing rings of others are only because of that weak, pitiful and ridiculous love.

Besides, Fang Jin said to himself sarcastically—even if he wears a pair of rings, so what?

He will soon become someone else's husband, someone else's father, and he will have a peaceful and happy family life, and his business will flourish; after a few years, he will be able to win back home from his declining self, and he will be a part of the family in the eyes of outsiders. Shameful, clean and beautiful.

As for Fang Jin himself, from the moment he saw Gu Yuan pointing his gun at him from a distance on the sea, he had no longer thought about anything.

The shot was missed because of Aken's sudden pounce, but in a trance, Fang Jin felt that a certain part of his soul had died at the moment the gunshot sounded; including the hope for the future and the last sliver of life. Enthusiasm is quietly annihilated in the deep sea.

Fang Jin sighed lightly.

He thought it was really wrong for him to be so depressed. The doctor had told him to be positive and think about more positive things, which would also help the treatment effect.But if you think about it carefully, what is there to be happy about now, what are the so-called beautiful and positive things?

...Gu Yuan?

At this moment, Gu Yuan should be the protagonist who everyone focused on. ,

But then again, he looks so handsome in a suit and dress, as handsome as a statue of David.Chi Qiu is also very beautiful, both of them have profound European facial features, they really look like a husband and wife, the baby they will have in the future must be very good-looking.

Fang Jin smiled slightly, and once again coughed with blood in his chest, he leaned on the balcony railing and bent down.

"--What’s wrong with you?"

Fang Jin swallowed bloodshot saliva, straightened up and turned around with a smile, "Miss Chi?"

Chi Qiu also came out of the banquet somehow, she changed into a snow-white dress with suspenders, her hair was tied into a noble bun, her eyes flickered with undisguised worry: "Are you sick, or are you not in good health? Why do you look so skinny?"

Fang Jin said naturally: "No." Then he looked her up and down quite interestingly, and there was a soft teasing in his gaze: "Are you caring about me? I thought Chi's family would just want to tear me apart now." Woolen cloth."

This is not wrong at all, and it can even be called quite self-aware.Chi Qiu was overjoyed, and asked: "Then you still dare to come to Hong Kong, not afraid that a group of people will rush up and chop you off on the spot, and take your head to Ke Wenlong's tomb for blood sacrifice?"

"Come on." Fang Jin said gently, "But it was Gu Mingzong who actually killed Ke Wenlong. I was just a knife used to carry out the mission. You let the Lord go, and you only break the knife used to kill people and claim revenge Now, isn’t it a bit of an upside-down?”

Chi Qiu choked up.

"Actually, this is normal... people have the instinct to bully the weak and fear the strong, and the Ke family has not done this kind of thing once or twice."

Fang Jin paused, as if swallowing some words back.For some reason, Chi Qiu looked at his expression at that moment, and felt that what he didn't say was ridicule and a little bit of contempt.

……No way.

Is it wrong?

Chi Qiu was thinking inexplicably, when Fang Jin suddenly changed the subject: "After the engagement is over, the marriage will follow right away. When will the Xian couple plan to officially hold the wedding?"

This question obviously meant to change the subject, but Chi Qiu felt a slight hit on a sour point in his heart, and he felt mixed feelings immediately, and he said in a low voice for a long while: "Master Gu and I are just... a marriage of interests, the family It's all about taking what you need..."

"I know."

"then you……"

"A lot of marriages are like this." Fang Jin advised, "Even if ordinary people get married on blind dates, they must first consider the factors of real life, such as economy, background, and family education. There is nothing wrong with it. It's just that after marriage Life is your own, and most of the so-called marriages of interest will eventually grow old, it all depends on how you live."

Chi Qiu couldn't believe that he could say these words in such an understatement tone, couldn't hold back for a moment, and blurted out, "——Could it be that you can really let go of Gu Yuan completely?!"

The terrace suddenly fell into silence, and a more melodious piano piece was played at the banquet in the distance, floating in the wind, faintly.

"...In your eyes," Fang Jin said indifferently, "Have I ever loved Young Master Gu at all?"

Chi Qiu pursed his lips.

Under the pearl red lip gloss, her lips were slightly whitish.

"...Aunt Wanru said that you followed Mr. Gu when you were very young, and you were very favored. The reason why you hid your identity and became an assistant next to Young Master Gu was to give you a chance to bring him down. Later, for you, Mr. Gu even I don’t want any more sons, and even risked offending the Ke family to clear the way for you, get rid of Ke Wenlong, and cut off Gu Yuan’s foreign aid to fight for power..."

"And you are now the vice president of the Gu family consortium, with one person under ten thousand, and with just one face, you have taken away everything that should belong to Gu Yuan." Chi Qiu sneered, and said, "In the eyes of ordinary people, you It's not just that you don't love Gu Yuan? You don't even love Mr. Gu, you only love money and power."

Fang Jin smiled and didn't speak.

He rested his elbows on the balcony railing, his eyelashes downcast, and his expression calm.

That gesture was so indifferent that it was actually a bit irritating.

Chi Qiu took a deep breath and tremblingly said: "But I don't think so, I think...you still like Gu Yuan very much in your heart. When you looked at me on the flower bed in the afternoon, although you smiled, it seemed like you were going to die soon. Looks like you're about to cry..."

Fang Jin said, "You misunderstood."

"I haven't." Chi Qiu stared stubbornly into his eyes, and said, "From the first time we met, from the moment you were scolded by Gu Yuan while driving, you were obviously so sad, yet you wanted to pretend nothing happened in front of me. From the very beginning, I knew that you must like Gu Yuan...Assistant Fang, you can hide it from others but not from yourself, maybe you still hate me a little in your heart, thinking that I took your place..."

"I haven't." Fang Jin repeated: "You really misunderstood."

He turned his head to meet Chi Qiu's gaze, and the latter's big and delicately painted eyes were slightly flickering with water, and asked tremblingly for a long time: "Then why, you want to bring everyone into this chaotic whirlpool Go to the place?"

Fang Jin was silent for a long time, in the dim light and shadow, it was difficult to see the expression on his cold side face.

"It's not me who made everything out of control." After a long time, he said, "I'm just using the simplest method to get the status quo back on track as soon as possible. Don't worry, it won't take a few years."

He adjusted his cuffs and strode across the terrace to the ballroom.

However, when they passed each other, Chi Qiu seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly grabbed his wrist: "——Wait, what do you mean by that, what happened in a few years?"

Fang Jin wanted to withdraw his hand, but Chi Qiu held onto it so tightly that he couldn't break free for a moment: "Tell me!"

The voice was already a bit sharp, a few servants in the corridor not far away heard it, and looked this way curiously.

"..." Fang Jin frowned, and finally turned to Chi Qiu, who was staring at him unwaveringly.After a while Fang Jin finally asked: "Aren't you surprised just now, why did I dare to come to Ke's house?"

"—Because I didn't come empty-handed."

"Before I came here, I contacted Ke's elders. They asked me to help them on the condition that I would not pursue my personal position in the assassination of Ke Wenlong, and it was also a favor for Gu Yuan..."

Chi Qiu's pupils dilated in an instant: "You—you want to get involved in the muddy waters of the Ke family seizing the heir?!"

Fang Jin was noncommittal, and shook his head after a long time.

"I need your help." He said, his tone so light that he couldn't hear any request at all. It was a plain and straightforward statement: "It's very simple, Miss Chi. It's just that there are some things that Gu Yuan can't say, I No one will believe you, only you are the best spokesperson..."

·

The reception ended that night, and it was already midnight.

Celebrities and ladies, wrapped in a little drunkenness and jewels, drove away in luxury cars, leaving only the deserted auditorium and a mess of cups and plates.

Fang Jin returned to the VIP lounge, washed his face with cold water, and the heavy fatigue in his body seemed to have suddenly dissipated under the stimulation of the cold.He wiped off the water droplets with a soft towel, and saw himself in the mirror as pale as a ghost, which was frightening to see, so he patted his cheek hard, trying to make his complexion look a little rosier.

"Vice President Fang," Aken whispered outside the door, "The Ke family is here, please go over."

Fang Jin stopped, only to see that his face did not change in the mirror, only the corners of his eyes were slightly flushed, which must have been wiped with a towel.

"..."

He threw the towel into the cleaning basket casually, turned around and opened the door and walked out.

The Ke family invited a housekeeper, and they probably had already been greeted beforehand. When they saw Fang Jin, they didn't ask a word, but just nodded respectfully and led the way.Fang Jin brought only Aken as an entourage, and the three of them went up the wide spiral staircase to the second floor of the auditorium. There was a heavy mahogany door through the corridor. .”

Fang Jin took a breath, raised his head, and walked in without squinting.

I saw that the door was an old-fashioned hall with a screen at the entrance. There was a table for four immortals in front of the table, and the grand master chairs on the left and right were empty—probably Ke Wenlong's first seat in the past.The left and right sides below were full of people. Fang Jin glanced out of the corner of his eyes and recognized the elders of the Ke family branch. The older ones were probably about the same age as Ke Wenlong, and most of the rest were in their sixties.

Gu Yuan was sitting in a pear wood armchair on the left, holding a cup of tea steadily, seeing Fang Jin walk in, his sharp eyes instantly fell on his face.

——That gaze is like a blade, capable of cutting through the skin of a person and oozing blood.

Fang Jin looked away.

"Vice President Fang." At this moment, a trembling old man in the upper left seat stood up and said in a deep voice, "Vice President Fang is young and promising, with extraordinary talents. It's a pleasure to meet you!"

Fang Jin said indifferently: "Where, you are flattering me."

The old man waved his hand and said, "No, no, why can't you afford it?" Then he stopped greeting and said straight to the point: "Actually, I want to invite President Gu Mingzong to come in person today. Vice President Fang was invited—outsiders say that the Gu family is the housekeeper of Deputy Chief Fang, so I just want to ask, can what Vice President Fang said today represent the meaning of the Gu family?"

——This outsider obviously refers to Chi Wanru and Gu Yang who have recently allied with the Ke family.

The people below suddenly had strange expressions, and countless eyes fell on Fang Jin's face at the same time.

However, Fang Jin didn't show any strangeness at all, and his tone was positive and calm: "Yes, I have always been able to fully represent Mr. Gu's wishes."

Someone below whispered to each other, but the old man didn't care: "Since this is the case, it's easy to handle. To tell you the truth, Vice President Fang, we were actually discussing something before you came here, because we couldn't make up our minds, so we wanted to hear the opinions of the Gu family—" —”

Fang Jin said, "It's okay if you say so."

"Actually, it's not a big deal." The old man paused for a moment, then said slowly: "It's just that our Ke family's direct lineage has withered, and Ke Rong has no descendants, and the family line is about to die out. Gu Yuan was the daughter of Grandpa Ke in his early years. Mr. Ke’s only son has always been like his mother, and Mr. Ke loved him very much during his lifetime. After discussing with the old people, we hoped that Gu Yuan could have two families and inherit the incense and property of my Ke family. Since then, he has lived in Hong Kong. How do you think about it?"

This question was nominally an inquiry, but actually it was just a formality. After all, everyone in the upper class of the Ke family knew that Gu Yuan was exiled by Gu Mingzong, and even the family property was handed over to Fang Jin to inherit. It can be said that the relationship between father and son has completely broken.

But—even if it’s just a cutscene, it’s a very important and indispensable cutscene.

Without this form, the Ke family's reputation would be dishonest, and even in the upper class, they would be suspected of taking away their heirs...

The hall was silent, and Fang Jin lowered his gaze, staring at the delicate texture of the mahogany floor, feeling that he was firmly enveloped by a very oppressive gaze from the crowd.

...That's Gu Yuan, he thought.

"Mr. Gu chooses the heir based on merit, and doesn't place much emphasis on blood relationship, so he doesn't care about whether the elder or younger will go or stay..."

Fang Jin heard his own voice spread out and disappear in circles in the air, as if disappearing in the cold air in the middle of the night.

"So Mr. Gu has no opinion on what the Ke family wants. As long as the elder and younger agree to the two cases, Mr. Gu—"

"I disagree!"

One stone stirred up waves, and everyone looked back, only to see Ke Rong standing up from his seat, staring at Fang Jin with disgust: "I don't believe your nonsense, you can speak on behalf of the Gu family ?I disagree!"

Chapter 45 Gu Yuan finally shattered the small pastel cup that hadn't been moved all night

The traditional Chinese-style hall was completely silent, and Fang Jin turned to Ke Rong and asked without haste, "I can't represent Mr. Gu, can you?"

This question is on point - Gu Yuan's engagement is such a big matter, Gu Mingzong said he was sick and couldn't come forward, and asked Fang Jin to come forward, that must have given him the right to speak.The three generations of the Gu family are single-handed, as long as Gu Mingzong allows him to acquiesce, where else can he find a Gu family with enough weight to refute Fang Jin's face on the spot?

But Ke Rong didn't bother with him, just sneered, turned to the old man on the upper left and said, "Uncle, I know that your elders intend to let Gu Yuan hold two sects in order to pave the way for him to inherit the incense of the Ke family in the future—but Even if we have a tradition of sacrificing, we have to find someone who is dedicated to the Ke family and can't bend his elbows outward, don't you think?"

"...What do you mean?" Uncle Ke narrowed his eyes and asked.

Ke Rong raised his hand to unbutton the cuff buttons, and piled up the sleeves: "Did you see that?!"

There was an unhealed gunshot wound under his elbow, which ran through front and back, and the bullet scar was dark red. If you look carefully, the muscle tear marks have not receded, obviously it is not more than half a year since the injury.

"Do you know how you got this injury? It was beaten by Gu Yuan, this ruthless little white-eyed wolf!"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, even Fang Jin turned his head, only to see Ke Rong pointing at himself suddenly: "Gu Mingzong wanted to murder Mr. Ke, so he sent this guy surnamed Fang to the cruise ship to help him. Fortunately, I managed to escape from the explosion. As soon as I got on the deck, I saw this man standing on the side of the ship trying to escape; I was about to shoot him from the back to avenge Ke Lao, who knows—”

Fang Jin suddenly realized something, his pupils constricted slightly.

"Who knows that Gu Yuan is an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf!" Ke Rong yelled, "He suddenly arrived at this time, and shot me directly from the front, ignoring that I was his own uncle!"

The crowd was in an uproar.

Fang Jin's hand in his trouser pocket trembled slightly, and even he himself could feel how obvious the frequency of the tremor was.

He thought again of the black muzzle of the gun that Gu Yuan raised against him across the gunpowder smoke and the sea.Seen from the front, the muzzle of the gun is aimed at him, but at such a long distance, if the muzzle of the gun is actually a little bit off, even just a little...

"If it weren't for the quick rescue of my subordinates, I would have been buried in the sea with Mr. Ke now, how could I stand here and talk to the elders!——Think carefully, Gu Yuan, in order to protect the members of the Gu family, even My own uncle surnamed Ke can do it. Do you really believe that this kind of person can sever righteousness with Gu Jiaen? Are you afraid that he just set up a scheme with this surnamed Fang to deceive my Ke family's Wanguan family property?!"

Ke Rong took a breath, and wanted to curse again, but suddenly he was interrupted by a calm voice: "How do you prove this?"

When Ke Rong turned his head, he saw Fang Jin with his hands in his trouser pockets, staring straight at him.

"——Only you say it's unfounded, who knows if you shot yourself and came back and said it was Gu Yuan?"

This question actually touched the hearts of many people, even if Uncle Ke didn't say it, he would have said it—but it was a bit weird coming out of Fang Jin's mouth, a bit like he was helping Gu Yuan.

However, the situation was tense, and most of the elders of the Ke family branch were on Gu Yuan's side, so no one cared about it at that time.Only Gu Yuan paused holding the teacup, and turned his head slightly to look at Fang Jin.

The light in the hall was dim, and Fang Jin seemed to have a normal expression, his eyes were dark and dim; but those who knew him well would find that his body was unnaturally tense, like the feeling of urgency when a bowstring is stretched to the limit.

Ke Rong said coldly: "There is no evidence for what you say? The people who rescued me from the sea and brought me back to Ke's house are all there, so why do you say that there is no evidence?"

He turned to the door and shouted, "Come in!"

The door was pushed open again, and three men dressed as bodyguards walked into the hall one by one and lined up. They first bowed to Ke Rong and called the boss, and then bowed to Uncle Ke on the upper left.Obviously these people are the confidantes who often appear around Ke Rong, and Uncle Ke is no stranger to them, so he frowned when he saw this, and nodded at the leader: "—Awang, your boss said he was on the cruise ship He was shot and injured by Young Master Gu, thanks to you guys who rescued him, is there such a thing?"

That Awang nodded and said hoarsely, "Yes."

Uncle Ke glanced at Gu Yuan very unobtrusively, but Gu Yuan didn't even lift his eyelids, his sculpture-like profile showed no emotion.

Awang lowered his head and continued: "My boss's hand was indeed hit by Young Master Gu on the cruise ship - there was a fire on the deck at the time, and Young Master drove a speedboat approaching, we thought he was here to rescue Mr. Ke , who knew he aimed the first shot at the boss..."

The bodyguard recounted the chaotic situation at that time, and then the other two also stood up and confirmed that Ke Rong was standing behind Fang Jin and drew his gun to aim at it. Rong would not be shot and fell into the water, and the gun aimed at Fang Jin also flew away in the chaos and could not be found.

Ke Rong turned his head to stare at Gu Yuan, gritted his teeth and said, "What else do you have to say now?"

In the shadows, Gu Yuan sat with a cup of tea, silent, his lean figure was like a black rock, exuding a heavy sense of oppression.

There was no movement in the hall, and many people even held their breath subconsciously.

"I shot you." Gu Yuan said in a low voice after a long time, "So what?"

Ke Rong was furious, and was about to yell at him, when suddenly Gu Yuan slightly lifted his hand that had been serving tea tonight, and put the teacup down on the table.

——At the moment when the pastel cup was about to touch the tabletop of Lihua, Fang Jin suddenly said from the side: "Mr. Ke's words are unreasonable, is it to defend the Gu family by shooting you? Shooting at you means that the father-son relationship between the young master and Mr. Gu is still there, and the elbow is turned outward? Let me be honest, Mr. Gu did not come to the engagement wedding of the young master this time because he was angry at the young master. !"

Gu Yuan paused.

He picked up the teacup again.

Many people looked at Fang Jin, and Ke Rong's eyes almost burst into flames: "What do you mean by that?!"

"It means literally." Fang Jin said indifferently, "Eldest Young Master rebelled against his biological father, Mr. Gu has cut off his kindness to him, whether the Ke family asks for a different surname, or wants the Eldest Young Master to inherit the incense, it's all about you Ke The family's internal affairs. Now I am just expressing no objection on behalf of the Gu family, and other grievances and grievances about you and the young master are not within the scope of the Gu family's concern. "

Ke Rong said angrily: "Gu Yuan's white-eyed wolf shot at me obviously to protect the Gu family, you—"

He raised his arms, and was about to show everyone the gunshot wound on his hand, when suddenly he heard a clear voice from the door: "That's not the case at all!"

Everyone turned their heads one after another, with different expressions, Ke Rong's eyes widened in surprise, and even Gu Yuan's eyes flashed a hint of surprise.

——I saw that it turned out to be Chi Qiu.

The butler of the Ke family followed behind, as if he wanted to stop her but didn't dare.Chi Qiu was still wearing the white evening dress she wore at the reception, stepped on the high-heeled shoes and walked to the center of the hall, staring at Gu Yuan with her beautiful eyes: "Are you trying to protect the Gu family? You obviously want to keep Fang Jin." The one who shot at my own uncle!—Why, don’t you dare to admit it now?”

Gu Yuan's bushy eyebrows frowned.

"And you, Assistant Fang." Amidst the uproar in the hall, Chi Qiu turned to Fang Jin again, raised his voice and said coldly: "You said that the eldest son was a rebellious biological father, why don't you say how he was a rebellious father, huh?"

Fang Jin seemed to avoid it, "Miss Chi..."

"Do you dare to do it or not to say it? Forgive me that I will swallow my anger when I am engaged!" Chi Qiu suddenly interrupted him, and said angrily: "I wanted to scold you when I was in the Gu family, and while being a lover, I coaxed Mr. Gu around, and even Even Wanguan's family property was handed over to him, and at the same time, he used his identity as a personal assistant to seduce the young and old, and finally made their father and son completely divorced!"

She took a step closer and almost stuck in front of Fang Jin.Everyone around looked terrified and unbelievable, only her high-pitched voice said sharply: "Why did Mr. Gu suffer from a young man's qi disease? It's obviously you who made trouble from it! It's all right for you to covet Mr. Gu's glory and wealth, and seduce him." The young master contradicted his father for you, causing Gu's father and son to completely turn against each other, and in the end only you benefited!"

"Do you still have the guts to come to the Ke family? Still have the guts to stand here and say that the Gu family doesn't care about the young master? If it weren't for you, how could Mr. Gu drive his own son out of the house, and how could he have the heart to kill the young master!"

The hall suddenly fell into a frozen silence, only Chi Qiu's voice rippling in the air, shaking everyone's eardrums.

"..." Fang Jin took half a step back and said tactfully, "Miss Chi, some things are not as you said..."

"Why isn't it what I said? What's wrong?"

Chi Qiu's attitude was aggressive, and Uncle Ke finally came to his senses and hurriedly stopped him: "This—Miss Chi, since the fact that Mr. Gu deeply hates the young master has already happened, there is no need to pursue the reason... A man, he has not married yet. It is common to be wandering in the past, as long as the future..."

"You let him talk!" Chi Qiu said furiously, "Which sentence did I say wrong?!"

In fact, Uncle Ke’s words represented the views of quite a few men present: It’s not uncommon to find flowers and ask willows, and it’s too unnecessary to settle accounts after getting engaged.However, Young Master Gu was fierce enough to sleep with his father's lover. No wonder the father and son of the Gu family had a severe relationship with each other.

"Miss Chi," Fang Jin seemed to be finally annoyed by Chi Qiu's pressing attitude, and said coldly, "This kind of thing is what you want, and there is no such thing as who owes anyone. Now you stand up for your man , are you trying to settle an old score with me?"

Chi Qiu couldn't choose what to say: "You still have the guts to say it, I just want to know why you appear here and how you still have the face to attend our engagement wedding! The entire Gu family has been cheated by you, how can this be?" Is it not over? Do you want to take another action for Gu Mingzong to get rid of the young master?!"

Fang Jin stared at her flushed face, and then smiled leisurely after a long time.His face and facial features were impeccable, such a provocative expression actually gave people a feeling of swaying: "You know that the entire Gu family is going to be mine, so what does it matter if Gu Yuan lives or dies? If you have time to settle accounts with me, why don't you go back and watch the young master carefully, what will happen in the future is uncertain."

Chi Qiu was furious: "You—"

She raised her hand violently, but the expression on her face hesitated for a moment.

Because the play was too unexpected, and her back was facing the seat, no one noticed the sudden strangeness, only Fang Jin who was facing her saw it.

——Is it really a fight?

Fang Jin met her gaze and nodded slightly.

really hit.

Chi Qiu is definitely considered courageous and insightful among rich ladies, but after all, in front of so many people, coupled with his lack of experience, he acted too eagerly just now.If it wasn't for the fact that Gu Yuan competed with her father for a lover, and then failed and was expelled, the inside story was so explosive that everyone was stunned, otherwise her jerky and exaggerated performance would definitely be seen as flawed.

If the slap is lifted but cannot be swung, it will be even more fake, and anyone who thinks about it afterwards will find that something is wrong.

Under Fang Jin's steady gaze, Chi Qiu had no choice, gritted his teeth, and was about to hit him in the face, when suddenly he heard a piercing "crack!" behind him!

Gu Yuan finally slammed the small pink teacup that he hadn't put down all night on the table, then got up, strode forward, and grabbed Chi Qiu's raised hand like lightning!

Not only Chi Qiu, but even Fang Jin was stunned, and suddenly looked at Gu Yuan's cold face in the shadows.

"Enough," he said quietly.

At this moment, the door was slammed open, and more than a dozen bodyguards in black rushed in at the same time!

Everyone in the hall was in an uproar, and subconsciously stood up one after another, forming a tense confrontation with Gu Yuan's trusted bodyguards.

The old men were still steady, and they all stood up and backed away. Uncle Ke kept looking at Gu Yuan with questioning eyes while retreating behind the table; but Ke Rong next to him seemed to realize something, and suddenly asked sharply: "—— Gu Yuan? What are you going to do, can't you force the palace?!"

"You're thinking too much, uncle." Gu Yuan said lightly, "I just wanted to take advantage of the crowds today and talk to you thoroughly."

After all, he ignored Ke Rong who was in a panic, and only waved to his confidants, pointed at Fang Jin and said, "Vice President Fang is tired—don't let him stand here, send him back."

Fang Jin looked at Gu Yuan suddenly, his lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but Gu Yuan didn't even look at him out of the corner of his eye.

What is this for? Gu Yuan plans to fight Ke Rong hard? !

But this is at Ke's house, and just after the engagement and wedding ceremony, the right time and place are not perfect, what on earth is he—

"Vice President Fang," the subordinate strode forward, blocking Fang Jin's sight, with a soft and well-trained posture: "This place is not safe for you, please follow me."

Fang Jin suddenly raised his foot and took half a step towards Gu Yuan. At this time, Aken, who was waiting in the corner of the hall, also stepped forward quickly, grabbed him, and whispered in his ear: "Boss, go quickly."

The atmosphere in the hall was so tense that it was about to explode. No one dared to act rashly, and no one even made a sound.Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Jin finally couldn't delay, so he had to be dragged by Gu Yuan's cronies and Aken, staggering slightly, and exited the heavy peach wood double-sided gate.

·

After walking out, Fang Jin realized that the situation outside the door had changed. The guards of the Ke family had disappeared from the corridors, stairs, and auditorium.Without saying a word, Gu Yuan's subordinate directly led them across the grass to the villa behind the auditorium, went up to the second floor, and took the key to open the door of a guest bedroom.

"Master Gu had someone clean this in advance. The door lock is reinforced with stainless steel, and he keeps the key himself. There is no time to arrange it. Fortunately, it is still clean and tidy. Please rest overnight."

Fang Jin stopped at the door, "What's going on, Gu Yuan wants to fight Ke Rong?"

The subordinate was a little hesitant, coughed after a while, and said slowly: "Young Master Gu... didn't expect you to appear tonight..."

Because he didn't expect it at all, it was difficult to deal with the handle in Ke Rong's hands. After careful consideration, Gu Yuan chose to strike first to completely subdue the opponent.

——This is the side of him as the heir of the underworld, cold, careful, and decisive; once he makes a move, a person like Ke Rong is far from enough for him.
