The atmosphere was frozen to the extreme for a while.Zheng Ming looked at Xu Shishi coldly, without hiding the anger and possessiveness in his eyes.Xu Shishi naturally noticed it too, but he just smiled back at Zheng Ming indifferently, then looked at the stern Jian Zhan, and said softly: "Don't forget to go to the party, don't forget what I told you last time. forget."

After speaking, he turned around, waved his back to the two people, and left calmly.

Zheng Ming stared at Xu Shishi's back, and did not move back until his figure disappeared at the door, but his tone was not very good: "What does he mean?"

Jian Zhan also stood there, and a few seconds later he raised his hand and closed the door: "It's the Yan family's banquet, and I've ordered an invitation for you."

"What happened." Zheng Ming watched Jian Zhan walk in, and his remaining anger directly vented on Jian Zhan.Jian Zhan looked at Zheng Ming who was kissing him calmly, and kissed him back somewhat comfortingly: "Don't worry, the Yan family's oath will come sooner or later."

"They still have something to talk about? At that time, Xu Shishi forced you to choose the Xu family. The Yan family couldn't possibly be brainless." Zheng Ming looked at Jian Zhan, but Jian Zhan didn't meet his eyes. Instead, he curled his fist slightly, He said lightly, "The relationship between these two families is not something you can easily understand. Don't look at them getting along very well on the surface, but in fact, they are all very good at each other."

There is absolutely nothing wrong with this statement.The members of the Xu family have always been tolerant to him, and they always support him no matter what he does. If the Yan family hadn't planned to rob him, even if he murdered and set fire to him now, the Xu family would take care of the aftermath for him.This is of course a metaphor. If the Yan family wanted him at this moment, the result would probably be to push the person he killed to the Yan family.Whether it is Xu Li or Xu Shishi, both of them are top-notch in killing people with a borrowed knife.

However, compared to the Xu family, the Yan family has its own way of doing things.When he went back three months ago, he thought it would not be so easy to come out.But when he really stepped out, he suddenly understood that the bondage of the Yan family was not his body, but his soul.It's human, and after getting along for a long time, there will be some feelings to some extent, they just hold on to Yanmei, no matter where he is, as long as there is a marriage contract, as long as there is her, he, Jian Zhan, has no choice but to go back.

Jian Zhan slowly came back to his senses, he looked at Zheng Ming who had fallen into silence, and patted his shoulder with a hooked smile: "Don't think too much, there is no complete scheme in this world, as long as there is a loophole, I will definitely make them regret it , put your mind on me!"

The next night, the Yan family's villa was brightly lit.

Countless people from the upper class came here in formal attire.Walking into the gate, you can see the glazed lamps emitting light, and there is a long corridor on each side, with food and wine on it.

There was coming and going, everyone was talking and smiling.

Xu Shishi was wearing a dark blue suit and a white tie, neither looking too deep nor too young, just matching his age.At this time, he was communicating with another person, his eyes were gentle and smiling, the corners of his mouth were slightly curved, and his standard smile made it impossible to pick out any flaws.

Jian Zhan and Zheng Ming came together. When they entered the gate, everyone's eyes were cast on them.Although Jian Zhan is from the Xu family, he has not been exposed to people's sight much, but Zheng Ming is familiar to some people.However, everyone present was in a wait-and-see state, watching these two people calmly with a smile.

"You're here, young master." Yan Xun looked at Xu Shishi's gaze, immediately took a step forward, and greeted him with a smile.

Jian Zhan also smiled back at him, and Zheng Ming, who was standing beside him, curled his lips. His mature and steady demeanor attracted most of the people.

"Who is that man?"

"It's like I've never seen it before."

"You don't know? It looks like he should be the young master of the Zheng family. Tsk, the Zheng family is very low-key, no wonder you don't know each other."

The ladies all cast their eyes on the two of them. Xu Shishi and Jian Zhan glanced at each other, the meaning in their eyes was so strong that it was disturbing.

Jian Zhan took a deep breath, lowered his voice and said to Zheng Ming: "Wait a minute...be prepared."

Zheng Ming was taken aback for a moment, but then nodded.He naturally understood that Jian Zhan brought him here not just for a simple matter of accompanying him to a banquet, but standing here now, he had a strong feeling that something would happen in the next second.

Yuan Xiaoshu had already noticed Jian Zhan when he came in, and frowned slightly as she watched him and another man come in.

"Mom, what are you looking at?" A soft voice came from behind, Yuan Xiaoshu quickly turned her head to look, and said "Ouch" nervously: "Little sister, what are you doing here? You just caught a cold, you should take a good rest."

"Mom, Zhan will come today, right?" Yan Mei frowned and smiled very gently. A typical Jiangnan woman, every move is as weak as a willow branch, "I want to see him very much."

Yuan Xiaoshu looked at her own daughter, and then at Jian Zhan, who socialized freely below, sighed, shook her head, feeling a little helpless: "I'll call Xiao Zhan up later, you guys have a good chat."

"Okay, thank you mom." Yan Mei smiled and tugged at Yuan Xiaoshu's cuffs, her coquettish appearance made Yuan Xiaoshu love her daughter even more, but the ups and downs and scheming in her eyes slowly surfaced.

Jian Zhan has been with Zheng Ming all the time, and the two of them are quite involved in chatting, and Zheng Ming also made friends with many people because of his quality and ability, and won the favor of many people in a short time.Raise the glass, touch the wine, the red wine will slide down the throat, and between talking and laughing, you have already determined whether the other party is beneficial to you.

"Hey, I heard that there are three important figures this time, why haven't they come yet?"

"Of course the main event will be at the end." The speaker also took a look at Jian Zhan who was smiling seductively, and said with a sneer, "The young master of the Xu family looks really like a vixen."

"Now there are more good-looking men, don't some people like it too, haha."

Jian Zhan looked at the two people coldly, the smile on the corners of his mouth was still high, but the sharp blade in his eyes seemed to pierce each other, the two people also felt something was wrong, laughed a few times, and hurried to the other end go.

Just when everyone was blending in again, a loud noise sounded.

"Appeared."

"Can these three great Buddhas be invited?!"

"Haha, I already guessed it."

"Have you heard? These three people are all monopolizing power... It's terrible."

Jian Zhan didn't look to see who was at the door. He concentrated on eating his dessert. He glanced at Zheng Ming who was looking past, and said with a smile, "Let me guess? Tu Shi, Yin Shi..."

"There's also Fahrenheit." Zheng Ming's face didn't change at all, he was still as calm as him, but there were already waves in his heart, sure enough!It seems that there is an even bigger shady behind this banquet!

As soon as Jian Zhan stopped eating the cake, he ate the cake clean, wiped his lips with a tissue, his eyes sparkled, as if he had been aroused: "It's actually Fahrenheit."

Xu Shishi also seemed to feel something was wrong, he was stretched very straight, like a standing pillar, when Jian Zhan looked over, there was still a gentle smile on his face, it was just the reaction brought by his body , Let his calmness shatter a layer.

It is precisely because he knows Xu Shiji better that he can see Xu Shiji's nervousness. Could it be that there are some things that Xu Shijiu doesn't even know?

If so, then...

Jian Zhan's pupils shrank suddenly, as if thinking of something, he and Xu Shishi looked at each other with a heart, Jian Zhan put down the red wine glass a little unsteadily, and looked at Xu Shishi who was rushing over, feeling a little at ease .

Xu Shishi leaned close to his ear and said softly, "Don't panic, just pretend you don't know anything."

Jian Zhan stabilized his mind, his voice trembling: "What are they going to do!"

"I don't know, but I don't believe they would be so unstable." Xu Shishi was also a little panicked, but in front of Jian Zhan, he had to calm down and protect Jian Zhan. He raised his eyes and glanced at Zheng Ming , looking at his eyes looking deeply at this side, the smile on his face became serious, "How much does he know..."

Jian Zhan shook his head, and then said a little excitedly, "Xu time! I don't care, you have to settle this matter for me, I keep it from him, he doesn't know anything!"

"That's for sure." Xu Shishi pursed his lips, and he glanced at Zheng Ming again, "Anyway, don't act rashly, I'll ask them."

"By the way, where's Yan Cheng? Where's Yan Cheng?" Jian Zhan suddenly grabbed Xu Shishi's wrist and asked sharply.

Xu Shishi was reminded by him that something was wrong. This banquet was simply a Hongmen banquet!

Both he and Jian Zhan have been tricked!

"He...isn't here." Xu Shishi paused for a moment, his complexion complex, but still warm, "The home team is Yuan Xiaoshu."

Jian Zhan let go of his hand abruptly. He glanced at Zheng Ming and met Zheng Ming's increasingly gloomy eyes. Knowing that something was wrong, Jian Zhan gave Xu Shishi a decisive nudge: "Go."

Xu Shishi glanced at Jian Zhan, then ran quickly to the second floor.He knew that it was very unlikely that this incident would affect him. If it really happened, Jian Zhan would be the one who was most seriously injured and affected the most!

Zheng Ming took a step forward, shook Jian Zhan's hand without being noticed, and then said in a cold voice, "No matter what, I'm mentally prepared."

"Zheng Ming..." Jian Zhan looked at Zheng Ming, feeling even more irritable, "I didn't know it would be like this."

He lowered his head, but heard Zheng Ming's mocking voice from above. The voice was so cold that it pierced into his bones, making him unable to move: "I don't know either."

All he knew was that this huge conspiracy was finally slowly surfacing.
