The early summer sun shines through the sparse foliage, casting dappled shadows on the ground. There was silence in the Wanfu Cemetery, with the occasional crisp birdsong or two echoing through the forest.

An Yan walked through the bluestone road of the cemetery with a bouquet of yellow chrysanthemums in his hand, looking solemn.

In front of a tombstone, she stopped, bent down to place the flower in front of the tombstone, and whispered, "Dad, I've come to see you." ”

On the tombstone, Qiao Zhendong's smiling face was kind and kind, and he was looking at her gently.

She slowly crouched down, stretched out her trembling hand to caress the smiling face, and couldn't help but sob.

Gu Yiheng walked over, handed over a tissue, and persuaded softly: "An An, don't be sad." ”

An Yan shook his body slightly, Huo Ran turned his head, "Don't call me that, you forgot, four years ago, Qiao An was already dead." ”

Gu Yiheng sighed, looking at her condensed eyes, and felt sad in his heart.

Yes, four years ago, the innocent and arrogant eldest lady of the Qiao family had fallen off a cliff and died, and now the woman in front of him whose face had completely changed was called An Yan, who was his assistant.

There was a faint sound of talking at the entrance of the cemetery, Gu Yiheng glanced up, his face changed slightly, and he whispered that someone was coming, grabbed An Yan's arm and took her behind a big tree a few meters away.

Gu Yiheng is a star, everyone in the capital knows him from eighty-year-old people to three-year-old children, if people see him accompanying his assistant to sweep Qiao Zhendong's grave, they will definitely feel strange, maybe he will make headlines tomorrow. At that time, An Yan's identity may be exposed.

The people who came were actually Qiao Zhennan and Qiao Chu.

Mrs. Jo carried a basket with some offerings in it.

Along the way, Qiao Chu's face was extremely ugly, and he couldn't stop complaining, "Dad, Mom, you can come by yourself, why do you have to come?" ”

Qiao Zhennan was a little displeased, "Chu Chu, he is also your uncle, today is his death day, why should you come over to pay respects!" ”

Qiao Chu gave him a blank look: "Come on, Dad, don't pretend!" Why didn't you remember that he was your brother when you hurt him? Now he's pretending to be a good person! ”

Qiao Zhennan's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly raised his index finger, "Shhh, you make a light noise, don't let people hear it." ”

"Where are the living but the dead?" Qiao Chu pouted.

Mrs. Qiao glanced at the cemetery with a weak heart, and complained: "Chu Chu, it's not good for you to say this in front of his grave, don't say it." ”

"What are you afraid of, is it possible that he can still jump out of the grave?" Qiao Chu sneered, stopped in front of Qiao Zhendong's tomb, and saw the bouquet of chrysanthemums placed in front of the tombstone, her eyes widened, "Hey, how can there be flowers on this?" ”

Qiao Zhennan was also taken aback, looked around, and frowned, "Strange, who came to worship him?" ”

Mrs. Qiao became nervous, "Zhennan, no one comes at all except our family every year, what's going on?" Could it be...... She's not dead yet? ”

"Impossible!" Qiao Chu's face changed, "Falling from such a high place, and there is a torrent below, how can she survive?" Besides, if she hadn't died, she would have come back when her uncle died, but she hadn't appeared, and she hadn't been heard from for so many years, so she must have died. ”

Qiao Zhennan's expression was also very panicked, "But if it weren't for her, who else could there be?" ”

Qiao Chu said: "Maybe it's an uncle's friend or a subordinate in the company, it's definitely not her, don't scare yourself." Besides, even if she doesn't die and comes back, we don't have to be afraid of her, anyway, she doesn't know anything and won't do anything to us. ”

Mrs. Qiao was still very nervous: "But if she knew that you had been lying to her back then, and you were planning to sell her to the mountains, she would definitely find trouble with you." ”

Qiao Chu said a little impatiently: "Okay, I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of?" Don't be suspicious, hurry up and go home! I'm going to go to Qin's house with Zicheng to attend a banquet tonight!" ”

Mrs. Qiao said while taking out the sacrifice from the basket: "Speaking of Qin Duyao, I have a fire in my belly, last year at the birthday banquet of Old Man Gu, we gave our family a look of face, and Zicheng still had to slap him hard. ”

Qiao Zhennan glared at her unhappily and said, "What do you know, the Gu family's business is all supported by the Qin family, how can Zicheng not scold him?" Besides, if it wasn't for Qin Duyao's help, Zicheng wouldn't have agreed to get engaged to Chu Chu, and in the end, we still have to thank him! ”

"That's right." Mrs. Qiao looked at Qiao Chu with a smile and said, "Chu Chu, you and Zicheng are not too young, it's time to get married, I think one day we will have a meal with the Gu family and choose a good day for you." ”

Qiao Chu had a straight face, not happy at all: "Don't mention the matter of marriage, I will be angry if I mention it, that bastard in Gu Zicheng, he still can't forget Qiao An, I'm so angry!" ”

Mrs. Qiao was surprised and said, "What? Didn't he dislike that wild girl? ”

"I also thought that he didn't like Qiao An, and he was only engaged to Qiao An for the wealth of Qiao's real estate, who knew that last time he was drunk and scolded Qin Duyao, saying that Qin Duyao had ruined his good deeds, he could have gained both wealth and sex, but Qin Duyao robbed his beloved woman and forced him to marry me, a second-rate commodity. Do you say hateful or hateful? ”

Qiao Zhennan also sank his face: "There is such a thing? Why don't you keep telling us that we'll help you teach that stinky boy a lesson! ”

Qiao Chu glanced at them: "Come on, you don't give me any pretenses, our family's business depends on the Gu family, how dare you offend him?" Don't talk about this, hurry up and leave. ”

Qiao Zhennan and his wife glanced at each other, and their expressions became a little embarrassed. They really only dared to talk angrily behind their backs, and they didn't dare to really run to teach Gu Zicheng, the future son-in-law, a lesson, after all, their company's company still relied on the help of the Gu family.

The three of them didn't talk much anymore, lit incense together, bowed to Qiao Zhendong's tombstone three times, burned some paper money and turned around and walked towards the exit of the cemetery.

Behind the big tree, An Yan flashed out, looking at the backs of the three of them gradually moving away, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

On the way back, An Yan was silent, Gu Yiheng knew that she was in a bad mood and needed to think quietly, so he didn't bother her.

When the car drove into the gate of the Gu family's villa, An Yan suddenly said, "Yi Heng, help me inquire about the Qin family's banquet tonight." ”

Gu Yiheng frowned, "So urgent?" You've just come back, so let's rest for two days! ”

An Yan said: "No, this is a good opportunity to meet each and every one of them, so that I don't have to bother to get to know them again one by one." ”

"But when you suddenly face so many of them, can you stay calm? If they find out, won't your plans be affected? ”

"Do you think I can't?" An Yan turned his head to look at Gu Yiheng, his eyes were firm and cold.

Gu Yiheng knew that she would not change her mind if she decided, so she had to agree, "Okay! I want someone to inquire. ”

……

A red Maserati sports car drove into the Qin family's mansion, and as soon as the car stopped, Qin Xinran, the second lady of the Qin family, jumped down from it.

As soon as I entered the door, I was stopped by Mrs. Qin, "Xinran, why are you only coming back now, what time is it, your father and your brother have rushed back from the company, and you, the protagonist, are still ...... outside."

"Mom, you will scold me later, I'll go upstairs to find my brother first." Qin Xinran didn't stop, and as he spoke, he ran to the second floor in three steps and two steps, pushing open the innermost room.

Qin Duyao was wearing a tie in front of the mirror in the cloakroom, and when he heard the movement, he came out and looked at it, and his face sank, "Xinran, you don't knock on the door." ”

Qin happily stuck out his tongue, "Hehe, I was in a hurry and forgot." You have something to do for me, invite Gu Yiheng over to my birthday party. ”

"Who is Gu Yiheng?" Qin Duyao continued to tie the tie.

"Gu Yiheng, you don't know? is the actor who played in "Song Palace Beauty", we are from City A, and we are also the eldest son of Gushi Group, who came back from Hong Kong this afternoon. ”

Qin Xinran handed the phone to Qin Duyao, "Look, how handsome he is!" I went to pick him up at the airport just now, but unfortunately there were too many people and I couldn't get close to him at all, but I made a bet with Tingting that I would definitely get his autographed photo, but now let alone the autographed photo, I didn't even say a word to him, they all laughed at me and bragged. If you can help me invite him to my birthday party, they will be happy to death when they see it. ”

Qin Duyao's gaze moved to the screen of her mobile phone, but she didn't pay much attention to how handsome the man was in her mouth, but a woman wearing sunglasses in the man's arms.

The sunglasses covered most of her face, and she couldn't see her facial features clearly, but the pointed chin seemed familiar, which actually made his heart tremble slightly.

"Who is this woman?"

"Oh, it seems to be Gu Yiheng's assistant." Putting down the phone, Qin Xinran grabbed Qin Duyao's arm and coquettishly, "Brother, I know you are the most capable, you can help me invite him to come!" ”

Qin Duyao pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, but you have to promise me one condition, don't wear it so revealing in the future!" ”

Qin happily stuck out his tongue at him, "Thank you, brother!" I'm going to change my clothes! ”

Qin Duyao shook his head helplessly, picked up the mobile phone on the table, and dialed Chen Junfeng's number.

……

When night fell, the hall on the first floor of the Qin family's mansion was brilliantly lit.

In order to celebrate the twenty-first birthday of the second lady, the Qin family specially held a grand banquet.

Qin Xinran stood at a long table closest to the door in a pink princess dress, absentmindedly dealing with the few rich boys around her.

When the female companions ran in from outside the house for the Nth time and asked if the male god in her mind would come tonight, Qin Xinran finally became calm. She looked around for a moment, then walked briskly to a corner of the hall and grabbed Qin Duyao, who was talking to a young man.

"Brother, did you invite Gu Yiheng to the banquet?"

Qin Duyao looked sideways at her, "Yes, I've already asked someone to call to invite him." ”

Qin happily pouted, "But it's been so long since the banquet started, why hasn't he come yet?" You're not going to lie to me, are you? ”

"Gladly." Lin Kerou walked over and smiled softly: "Your brother didn't lie to you, I personally called Gu Yiheng, and he promised to come." ”

Qin Xinran felt strange, "Sister Kerou, why did you call Gu Yiheng?" Do you know him? ”

Lin Ke said: "Of course I know him, he is my high school classmate. ”

Qin Xinran smiled happily: "Really, that's great, wait a minute, you must introduce me to him, and let him take a photo with me!" ”

Lin Kerou smiled: "No problem! ”

Qin happily went to show off to his female companions, Lin Kerou smiled and said to Qin Duyao: "Duyao, you see how happy you are!" ”

"Hmm." Qin Duyao glanced at her lightly and continued to talk to the man.

Lin Kerou felt a sense of loss in her heart, in the past two years, Qin Duyao has always been lukewarm to her like this, no matter how much she bothered to please her, she couldn't let him take a second look at her.

She knew that he didn't love him, and that the marriage contract between the two was nothing more than a business marriage between wealthy families, an indisobedient will imposed on him by his father. However, she was unwilling, she not only wanted his person, but also wanted his heart, hoping that one day he could be moved by her true feelings and have love for her.

At this moment, there was a commotion in the direction of the door.

At the entrance of the gate, Gu Yiheng, who was dressed in a white suit, walked in. He was followed by a woman in a small light purple dress.

The woman's facial features are exquisite, her figure is slender, and she stands with Gu Yiheng like a pair of beautiful people, which immediately attracted the attention of all men.

Seeing Qin Duyao's gaze staring at the woman tightly, Lin Kerou was a little uneasy.

It's really strange, no matter how beautiful a woman is, Qin Duyao won't take a second look, why would he pay so much attention to this strange woman today?

The moment she stepped into the hall, An Yan felt a cold gaze projected on her, making her breath stop slightly.

Looking past that gaze, she saw a corner of the hall where the man she had cursed for four years was standing straight and staring at her coldly.
