Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Masquerade
Li Yao followed her words and thought about it, and then she came to her senses a little, and she looked at Luo Zitong with some vigilance, as if Luo Zitong was some kind of dangerous person.
"How do you know so much? Why tell me? ”
"Ha, don't be so nervous, we have a common enemy." Luo Zitong patted her shoulder with a little ease, and slowly spit out a name.
"What do you mean?" Li Yao's eyes narrowed slightly, and she opened her mouth subtly, and asked her, "Is it difficult, you also have a holiday with her?" ”
"The people around Xia Ziyuan have all had a holiday with me, of course I have to clean them up one by one, and the last person standing next to her can only be me." Since she can't move Gu Aochen, then she will take Ye Jingjing first, anyway, this good girlfriend that my sister thinks is a good girlfriend has already begun to carry her sister behind her back and start her own little abacus.
"You are not allowed to move Nangong Yi." Li Yao warned her with a determined expression: "Otherwise, I want you to look good." ”
"So, except for Nangong, I can move casually? No, I heard it right, where did Miss Li go before to help the strong and help the weak? ”
"You ......" this damn Luo Zitong actually dared to laugh at her, hateful. Li Yao gritted her teeth and asked her reluctantly, "What are your plans?" ”
Luo Zitong smiled slightly, even if you are interested, it will save this girl more words. She leaned over and whispered into Li Yao's ear.
"Is that okay?" Li Yao looked at her with some doubts.
"Whatever you want, whether you join or not, it's just one less assistant for my plan. In this way, if you cooperate with me, it will be easier for me to do a little less, and you will also get a lot of benefits from it, don't you think? ”
"You want me to wrap it up for you?"
"Look at it, it's not a mess, and you can take all the credit for yourself."
"Good...... Okay, but don't tell anyone about it. ”
"Huh? I have something, go first. ”
……
The Gu family's mansion.
"Hey! What are you looking at? Were you scared by me? Xia Ziyuan hugged Gu Aochen from behind, threw herself on his back, and curiously looked at the things in his hand. What's weird? ”
"It's an invitation from Luo Zitong, this is yours." Gu Aochen rubbed her head helplessly and dotingly, and handed the other one stacked below to Xia Ziyuan.
"Masquerade?" Xia Ziyuan's eyes lit up, and she said with some joy: "I'm worried about Zitong's rejection of Anna, and I'm worried about whether she will be too withdrawn recently, but I didn't expect her to hold a masquerade ball so soon." Rare...... Since I came to City A, I really haven't seen much of the Luo family's event dance party or something. ”
But Gu Aochen obviously didn't have it so easy: "If something goes wrong, there must be a demon." ”
"Can you not always have such a big opinion of Zitong?"
"I didn't."
"Your Excellency the President is jealous?" Xia Ziyuan raised his chin and asked with interest.
"Nope." Gu Aochen replied very briefly.
"Alright." Xia Ziyuan dropped a kiss on his cheek and comforted him, "Let's go and have a look, okay?" Anyway, isn't there nothing to do lately? ”
"You don't need to improve your hacking skills?" Gu Aochen frowned seriously and said unhappily, Xia Ziyuan knew that he wanted to find a reason again, so he hurriedly stopped him and said, "It's not bad for this night, it's a big deal, I'll find it in the future and almost make up for it, do you think this is good?" You're going to let me go. ”
"Well, I can't help you."
"Hehe, I knew you were the best."
"Say it in advance, three chapters of the covenant." Gu Aochen also put forward his own conditions, Xia Ziyuan nodded hurriedly, and listened to him very carefully: "First, without my permission, you can't leave my line of sight. Second, don't dance with others. Three, if anything happens at the ball, you have to listen to me. ”
"OKOK, can I go and get ready now?"
"Yes." Waiting for Xia Ziyuan to leave, Gu Aochen muttered angrily: "The Gu family's banquet, when have I ever seen you so attentive." ”
"Gu Shao."
"Li Chen, let people keep an eye on the Luo family."
"Yes, does Miss Xia want to tell me?"
"Don't tell her."
As soon as I finished explaining the matter, I heard Xia Ziyuan's voice from the next room: "Aochen, come over and help me." ”
"What's wrong?"
"The zipper of the dress is stuck, it's all your fault, have I been fattened recently?"
Gu Aochen's face was not red, he zipped her up without a heartbeat, looked at her exposed half of her snow-white back, and said with some dissatisfaction: "You just wear this?" ”
"Isn't it pretty? I really like this style. ”
"Vulgar." Gu Aochen blurted out, Xia Ziyuan thought about it in the mirror, and didn't know why she couldn't get into Gu Aochen's eyes.
"Okay, then I'll change it."
"Isn't it early for the prom?"
"I like to pick first."
"Luo Zitong suddenly prepared for the ball, don't you think something is wrong?"
Xia Ziyuan glanced at him, there was not too much suspicion in his eyes, but he just felt that Gu Aochen was a little too fussed. "I think if Jingjing or Su Tianhao hold a ball, you don't have anything to say, why are you suspicious as soon as Zitong holds a ball? Are you biased against Zitong? ”
"No, she never hurts you anyway, of course you think she's good."
"What do you mean?"
"The people invited to the dance are all upper-class people in City A, and there is no shortage of celebrities and daughters...... "Before Gu Aochen's words were finished, he was taken over by Xia Ziyuan with a happy face: "You mean that Zitong wants to take the opportunity to choose the girl she likes?" Sure enough, she finally wanted to open it. ”
Gu Aochen was a little speechless, sometimes, he was indeed quite curious about girls' brain circuits.
"Aochen, what are you doing in a daze? Is it good-looking? ”
"Beautiful." It's going to show off all day long.,I really want to lock her up for myself to watch.。
"Grandpa said he wanted to play chess with me, do you want to go with me?"
"When?"
The old man really can't bear it, didn't he go down two days ago? It's been so long that no one has played chess with him, and his hands are itchy.
"Grandpa said to see when you have time." Grandpa is always so accommodating, and he likes such elders, which is much better than some improvisational people who don't care whether others are working, classing, or sleeping, and thinking that they are elders.
"Right now."
"You're not going to teach me to code?" Xia Ziyuan was a little disappointed.
"You'll have two days off, including tomorrow night."
After all, I still agreed to her to go to the ball, Xia Ziyuan secretly rejoiced in her heart, and didn't try on clothes anymore, changed into a more homely dress, and planned to go to the old man's teahouse with Gu Aochen, and happened to meet the housekeeper sent by the old man to invite them.
"Gu Shao, it just so happened that the old man said that after making tea, he will wait for you."
"Okay."
"Then there's nothing else, I'll go and get ready to pick up Madame first."
Is Gu Xiaololi coming back? Xia Ziyuan had some expectation and joy in her heart, it was rare to be quiet for a while after a long time, and when Gu Xiaololi came back, the house was probably going to become lively again. But this is also good, the old man of the province always said that after they went to school, he was bored to stay at home alone.
Gu Aochen asked the housekeeper, "When will my mother arrive?" ”
"Madame said that she just got off the plane, and it is estimated that there is still half an hour."
"I see." Gu Aochen walked straight into the tea hall, followed by Xia Ziyuan.
On both sides of the chess table, I only listened to their casual conversation: "Is the Xia family's real estate ready to accept it?" ”
"It's already been taken, and as for what it will be used for, it remains to be determined."
"Don't you have any opinions, little kites?"
"Me? Grandpa, I can do it. ”
"If you still can't make up your mind, you will change to Gu's subsidiary, and take over Gu's business first, so as not to put it on hold."
"No, I said that the Xia family is a little kite. This situation has already occurred in Shen's real estate before, and I will never allow the same thing to happen a second time. ”
Well? Is that what Manager Ye is talking about? Xia Ziyuan felt that she couldn't keep up with the thinking of the grandfather and grandson.
"You arrange it yourself."
"I want to transfer Gu's main company to City A, first, for convenience, and second......" Without waiting for Gu Aochen's words to finish, he was interrupted by Old Man Gu with some displeasure: "No, you plan to stay in City A for the rest of your life?" ”
"What's so bad about City A?"
"No! How can the people of my Gu family be so unproductive? ”
Gu Aochen frowned, not knowing whether he was thinking about the meaning of his words, or thinking about the next move.
"Little kite, it's time for you to go." Old Man Gu reminded Xia Ziyuan, Xia Ziyuan looked at Gu Aochen for help, only to see Gu Aochen's thin lips slightly opened, and slowly told her a direction.
"What's so bad about City A?" Gu Aochen said disapprerovingly.
"I'm back! What are you doing?! Gu Xiaololi interrupted the conversation between them and rushed out from behind the screen. Gu Aochen and Old Man Gu both frowned when they saw her appearance. Xia Ziyuan was still puzzled, but when she looked back, she couldn't believe what she saw in front of her, Gu Xiaololi was covered in unknown white paint, dressed in strange costumes, and looked like she had just come out of the theater.
It's just that you ...... Didn't you remove your makeup first all the way back?
Fortunately, Gu Aochen and Old Man Gu were used to it, and immediately turned their eyes back to the chessboard, neither of them greeted Gu Xiaololi, but if Xia Ziyuan didn't say hello, it was a little unreasonable.
Old Man Gu is an elder, and Gu Aochen ...... I've always been used to doing my own thing.
"Mom."
"Little kite, how boring it is to play chess, I have prepared a gift for you." Gu Xiaololi took Xia Ziyuan's hand and was about to leave, but somehow provoked the two of them.
