The news of Xu Yuan's return spread throughout the celebrity circle like a long leg, for no other reason, the Xu family had a good calculation, first pleaded with Xu Yuan to avoid Ji Ran and find Gu Suiyun, so as to make a preemptive move.

But he never thought that Ji Ran happened to be with Gu Suiyun, but Xu Yuan was severely ridiculed by the latter.

While Xu Yi and his wife felt sorry for their daughter, they were naturally unhappy that Ji Ran failed to win benefits for their Xu family, but they also knew that it was difficult to start from Ji Ran, after all, Gu Suiyun was her biggest reliance now.

But even Gu Suiyun is a difficult bone to gnaw, which is what Xu Yi and his wife really did not expect.

But how could they be willing?

It was a last resort to let Ji Ran replace Xu Yuan and Gu Suiyun's engagement, but now that the main lord is back, they naturally feel that Ji Ran should abdicate and make way for Xian, if she is unwilling, it will be the dove occupying the magpie's nest.

The meat of the Xu family's mouth is gone, how can they be willing to give up!

Therefore, they had to take advantage of the fact that everyone in the outside world knew that the marriage relationship between the Gu and Xu families was still there, and quickly let Xu Yuan stand up, brush up on his sense of existence, and leave more impressions on people, so that even if Gu Suiyun liked Ji Ran again, it would be unjustifiable.

can make her daughter earn enough attention, in addition to holding a high-profile banquet for her return, and at the same time explain to everyone why Xu Yuan, as the main owner, did not stand up when the scandal between Gu Suiyun and Ji Ran outside caused a storm in the city, and even the Xu family didn't even fart.

- Because Xu Yuan is outside, he doesn't know anything about things here.

Apart from this reason, the Xu family really couldn't think of any other way.

The invitation was sent to Gu Suiyun as soon as possible, and Ji Ran was still by his side at that time, seeing that the secretary sent an envelope over, Gu Suiyun sneered after opening it and reading it, her expression was full of disdain, and she couldn't help but be a little curious.

"Who sent it?"

Regarding the news of the Xu family, Gu Suiyun didn't even want to mention it, let alone make her sad and sad in front of Ji Ran, so he just lightly threw the invitation into the trash: "It's not an important thing." ”

His attitude was really suspicious of Ji Ran, and the curiosity in his heart was even more aroused by his cold reaction, and he immediately walked up to him and asked, "What the hell is it?

"It's nothing, it's not something worth the effort to study. ”

Ji Ran was skeptical, after all, Gu Suiyun had never shied away from her in the past, and this time he had the idea of finding out, so he walked straight to the trash can beside him, and without waiting for Gu Suiyun's reaction, he directly bent down to pick up the invitation card that he had discarded.

As soon as she opened it, there was a familiar pale jasmine aroma and the invitation style that she had complained about countless times in her heart, and almost instantly, her brain made a subconscious judgment.

She grew up in the Xu family, and she has participated in a lot of banquets held by the Xu family, and the invitations are even more familiar, especially the faint jasmine perfume smell that Su Qingyu loves on it.

Ji Ran's eyebrows were full of clarity, and he glanced at Gu Suiyun, who was obviously a little annoyed on his face, and couldn't help but sigh meaningfully: "It turned out to be an invitation sent by the Xu family! ”

"I won't go, the Xu family's style is really disdainful. As if he was afraid that Ji Ran would suspect that he had any thoughts about the Xu family, Gu Suiyun hurriedly clarified and showed his heart.

His anxious appearance made Ji Ran couldn't help but be a little funny, and casually threw the invitation back into the trash, the smile on his face brought out a bit of sarcasm, it was obvious that even she didn't look down on these small actions of the Xu family.

"If you don't go, you won't go! Anyway, it's not a big deal, and if you make up any lame reasons, it's just to deceive outsiders who don't know the inside story!"

"But no, this family dares to fool everyone as fools, because they don't know that outsiders have already seen through it!"

"Probably this is called covering your ears and stealing the bell!"

……

Since Gu Suiyun didn't plan to go, Ji Ran naturally thought that the Xu family's banquet was nothing to look at, but they didn't expect that they not only sent an invitation to Gu Suiyun, but even sent a copy to their own residence.

The invitation was accepted by Wang Can, and when she saw Ji Ran personally opening it written on it, she specially left it for her to open.

Ji Ran's eyebrows moved slightly, the expression on his face that was originally joking with Wang Can disappeared instantly, and then he subconsciously reacted like Gu Suiyun - throwing the trash can.

However, this invitation was as if a surveillance camera was installed, but within three minutes, Ji Ran's mother's phone called, and her tone was full of lightness.

"Ah Ran, I heard my wife say that the Xu family is going to hold a banquet for Ah Yuan, and many people have been invited to come, if you have time in two days, come back!"

Presumably because of Ji's mother's joy, the expression on Ji Ran's face instantly turned cold, she never thought that the Xu family was really shameless enough to let her mother persuade her to participate in Xu Yuan's return banquet and let herself help her build momentum.

She sneered in her heart, but her expression and tone switched very naturally, and she immediately became a little embarrassed and hesitant: "Mom, I have recently taken a new job here, and I'm afraid it's not so easy to ...... in time."

"Ah Ran!" As soon as she heard that her daughter was going to use work to prevaricate herself, Ji's mother's tone suddenly became a little heavier, and then she realized that this was not very good, so she hurriedly explained: "You are also not young, and you work in a place like the entertainment industry, your mother doesn't want to wait until you become an old girl and still can't get married, my wife is also kind, I heard that there are many boys with good character conditions, you also make more friends, right?!"

Since Ji's mother's words mentioned Su Qingyu's deliberate "kindness", Ji Ran really had no reason to refuse, so she had to sigh lightly, and then responded to her words.

"Okay, Mom, I'll find a way to go, see you then!"

Wang Can looked at Ji Ran's dramatic expression in shock, until he saw her hang up the phone, took out the invitation from the trash can with a frown, and threw it on the coffee table, then stared at her gossipily, with an expression of begging to share.

"Ah Ran, how do I remember that I don't seem to have taken any job for you recently!" Ji Ran was indifferent, and Wang Can had no choice but to knock on the side.

"It's that I don't have a job, but isn't my recent work arranged by Mr. Gu's side?"

was caught off guard by a wave of dog food, Wang Can's face was loveless, but it did not kill her curiosity to gossip.

Under her repeated questioning, Ji Ran had to vaguely explain that it was an invitation to the banquet of Wancheng Real Estate.

Wang Can didn't care at all about why Ji Ran was invited, but as soon as he heard the name of Wancheng Real Estate, he hurriedly took her hand and asked with a face: "Xiao Ran, I know you are the best, so you will definitely take me to this banquet in two days!"

Wang Can wants to go for only one purpose, to expand his network resources, but which one of the people who deal with the Xu family is not a human being, Ji Ran naturally doesn't want to take Wang Can there.

Although the other party's combat effectiveness is not weak, she really has no confidence in the Xu family's group of strange people, but she can't stand her crying and begging, so she has to nod and agree.

"Okay, okay, take you!

……

On the day of the Xu family's banquet, Ji Ran did not tell Gu Suiyun in advance that she would participate in the banquet held by the Xu family for Xu Yuan, she was afraid that Gu Suiyun would worry about herself and participated, and in her selfish heart she didn't want to see the Xu family succeed, so she gave them a face by herself.

She was still dressed in a decent way like she had attended the Xu family's banquet before, but Wang Can couldn't help but shake her head again and again: "You are too ordinary, you can't bring out your glamorous temperament at all, I wonder if you did it on purpose." ”

Intentionally, of course!

Since she was fifteen years old, she was asked to attend the Xu family's banquet with Xu Yuan for the first time, and she was so happy that she almost didn't sleep all night, and she spent several days and nights thinking about what to wear and how to dress up to the banquet.

Later, Ji's mother couldn't stand it anymore, so she made a small dress for her, which was the first dress in her life and the most precious gift from her mother.

When she put on the dress, almost all the servants of the Xu family set their eyes on her, ignoring Xu Yuan, who was supposed to be the main owner next to her.

She heard everyone praising herself, as if she were a real daughter.

After all, everyone knows that Mrs. Xu is kind-hearted, and the daughter of the Xu family has such a playmate who has been raised since childhood, and she has always been treated as half a daughter, but it is like the real daughter of the Xu family.

Even her heart fluttered a little!

But soon, she was "accidentally" splashed with red wine on her body, and the heavy color was smudged, so that she had to temporarily change into the dress prepared for her by the Xu family.

At that moment, it was like the bell striking twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, and even if Cinderella won the prince's favor again, she had to return to her original ugly duckling appearance.

Without her competing for attention, Xu Yuan is naturally the proudest little princess in the banquet hall.

Since then, she has never asserted herself, and she who follows Xu Yuan seems to be like a young lady, but in fact, as Xu Yuan herself described, she is just a foil.

When she was a child, she created a kind and graceful image for Su Qingyu, and when she grew up, she created a difference between red flowers and green leaves for Xu Yuan's foil, and now the people of the Xu family finally found that she was not as easy to control as before, so she was in a hurry!

Thinking so, the expression on Ji Ran's face became very sarcastic, and Wang Can beside him was a little hairy, not knowing what she was thinking, she couldn't help but stretch out her hand and shake it in front of her eyes: "Xiao Ran, isn't it time for us to go, if it's too late, it's not good that we're late for the banquet to start!"

She suddenly came back to her senses, saw her figure reflected in Wang Can's eyes, and nodded absentmindedly: "Well, let's go!"
