Xiao Ziyuan listened to Xiao Yao talk about the grassland and nodded.

"Does she have an agreement with He Yan?" Xiao Yao asked.

Xiao Ziyuan said: "That's right, but this agreement has been temporarily dissolved, and He Yan allowed her to leave the grassland temporarily." ”

Xiao Yao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Qin Shuangshuang is from our side, He Yan allowed Qin Shuangshuang to leave the grassland, which means that He Yan chose to stand with us, and it is impossible for her to pull an enemy for herself." ”

But immediately, Xiao Yao twisted his eyebrows and asked, "Is it possible for He Yan to cooperate with the bookstore?" Her ultimate goal is not to get rid of Huang Lili, but to get rid of the grassland? ”

Xiao Ziyuan's face also changed, and said, "It's not impossible. ”

Xiao Yao scratched his head vigorously, he really didn't want to face He Yan anymore, but he knew that he had to face this beautiful snake again, for many days in the past, he stayed with He Yan day and night, and in the end he didn't even inquire about what her ultimate purpose was, which couldn't but be said to be a kind of sadness.

Her purpose may just be to mess up the bookstore, and there is a bigger chess game, that is, the three shareholders of the bookstore have no conflict at all, everything is a show for people to see, and the ultimate goal is to trap the grassland.

Xiao Yao thought for a while and said, "Now we must strengthen the power of the grassland side, so that He Yan realizes that she can't go against us, and it is more in her interest to mess up the bookstore." ”

"I'll arrange it, I'll gamble everything, I see if she dares to really fight with us." Xiao Ziyuan was angry, she felt that she was almost put on a position by He Yan, if the war started and found out that the grassland was the most wronged, then it would be too late.

He Yan has always been extremely unhappy with the sudden rise of the grassland, but she has no choice, and it is not impossible to take this opportunity to get rid of the grassland.

At He Yan's villa, He Yan came back at noon.

Pushing open the door, the house was still a mess, but there was no shadow of Xiao Yao anymore.

He Yan took off his sky-high heels and slowly cleaned up the messy house, with a faint smile on his face, and occasionally laughed.

Finally restored the house to its original state, but she squatted in a corner of the room, looking at the neat but deserted living room, and suddenly felt an endless sense of loneliness. She counted the world and finally became Xiao Yao's first woman, she really didn't think about making him responsible, but he walked away like this coldly like an ice pick that stabbed her heart.

Two lines of tears flowed from the corners of her eyes.

She wiped her tears with her hand, put them in front of her eyes and looked at them, she was a little surprised, she hadn't cried in many years, and she didn't know why she was crying this time. Is it helpless? Or is it lonely? Or is it loss? She couldn't tell, maybe it's all three.

She took a deep breath, stood up with a sigh of relief, and said firmly: "To be her first woman, I have done it, but why am I still lost?" Why do I still feel helpless? Why do I still cry? ”

At this moment, the door was pushed open, and Xiao Yao walked in.

"Are you crying?" Xiao Yao walked up and asked with concern.

"Hmm!" He Yan's eyes were red.

"What's wrong?"

"I thought you were gone and never came back." He Yan said aggrievedly.

"How so." Xiao Yao clearly wanted to keep his distance from her, but he said in a ghostly way.

"Liar."

Xiao Yao stopped talking, and stepped forward to hold He Yan in his arms, but He Yan took a few steps back and kept a distance from Xiao Yao.

"Will you deal with Tang Xiao and Qin Shuangshuang at the bookstore's annual meeting?" Xiao Yao gave up and walked closer to He Yan, and stood straight in place and asked.

"Possibly." He Yan didn't hide it.

"What do you mean?" Xiao Yao asked.

"If the forces you can mobilize are strong enough to make me jealous, I won't be your enemy, and I won't mind forcing the bookstore to split up with you, but if your strength is too weak, it's in my interest for me to destroy the grassland with the bookstore, isn't it?" He Yan asked rhetorically.

"On the winning side." Xiao Yao repeated what He Yan had said.

"Actually, Mu Zhan, Li Liang, Huang Lili, Xiao Ziyuan, and Qin Shuangshuang are all talking to me about cooperation, but to be honest, I'm not sure who I will stand with until the last moment." He Yan is so frank that it is scary.

"And what were we last night?" Xiao Yao asked suddenly.

"Nothing happened last night, nothing. Don't try to tie me down with this. He Yan said decisively.

"What about Tang Xiao?" Xiao Yao asked again.

"I'm not going to target her, she's not deserving it."

Xiao Yao wanted to refute it, but he couldn't find a reason to refute it. That's right, He Yan's foundation is in the secret place, she didn't think about returning to the original world, and the eldest lady of the Tang family in the original world really can't get into her eyes.

"What if I leave the grassland with Tang Jitian, Tang Xiao and Qin Shuangshuang now?" Xiao Yao asked suddenly.

In his opinion, Xiao Ziyuan and He Yan's excuses for messing up the bookstore are all to support Xiao Yao, and Qin Shuangshuang came with the grassland because of Xiao Yao, if he leaves, then the original intention of the forces to start a war will be gone.

He Yan's face remained unchanged, and he said with a smile: "With your character of revenge, I don't think you will let Huang Wei go, and using our strength to kill him at the annual meeting is probably your best choice." ”

Xiao Yao smiled bitterly in his heart, He Yan was right, he really thought about leaving, but when he thought of the things Huang Wei had done, he hated it so much, if he didn't kill him, he was afraid that he would be pulled into the big dream space in his dreams in the future.

In the north of city 7, there is a red wine winery, which is also a villa-style hotel, which is the property of the bookstore, and the bookstore is chosen to hold its annual meeting there every year.

There is a drinking party in the evening, and tomorrow is the official annual meeting.

Xiao Yao and Tang Xiao found a remote corner of the venue to sit, sipping red wine, and looking at the crowd chatting around them, which was also comfortable.

Xiaobai didn't drop the chain this time, and obediently accompanied Xiao Yao to the winery, but at this time it was wandering around the winery, and he didn't know where he had gone.

Zhang Zhongzhong entered the winery as Tang Xiao's assistant, and was wandering around at this time, of course he was not looking at the scenery, but to determine whether his equipment could pass through the spatial turbulence here, and if not, he would give a plan as soon as possible, which was also his mission.

At the venue of the cocktail party, someone came over from time to time to toast Tang Xiao, but Xiao Yao drank it for her, and he was not afraid of how much he drank these ordinary wines.

Tang Xiao's identity is special, those middle and high-level people who don't know why are eager to come to the knot, at least they have to be familiar, if they are targeted by this living Hades, then they will not have a good life in the future.

A small young man with a dark face walked over, the young man was different from the others, he didn't go to Tang Xiao to toast, but walked straight to Xiao Yao.

"I'll respect you!" The young man picked up the red wine glass handed by the waiter and nodded at Xiao Yao.

"You know me?" Xiao Yao was a little surprised.

"My name is Mu Lianqing, and Mu Zhan is my father." The young man said bluntly.

Xiao Yao understood that the other party was the son of the three major shareholders of the bookstore, and knew that his Xiao Yao's background was too normal, so he also stood up, picked up the red wine on the table, looked at Mu Lianqing with a smile, and said, "There must be a reason for toasting, right?" I'm not a toast that anyone drinks. ”

Mu Lianqing was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "You are from the original world, and I grew up in a mysterious place, I am the master, you are the guest, this is the first time we have met, so it should be my welcome bar!" ”

Xiao Yao saw that Mu Lianqing didn't look like a narrow-minded person, so he happily clinked glasses with him, and then drank it all, which was completely drinking red wine as beer.

Mu Lianqing saw that Xiao Yao had finished drinking, and suddenly asked, "I heard that you and Huang Wei had a conflict?" ”

Xiao Yao didn't know what the relationship between Mu Lianqing and Huang Wei was, and he didn't know if this guy would be the helper Huang Wei found, but he had nothing to be afraid of, so he smiled and said: "He is spoiled on weekdays, and I will also educate his mother well." ”

Between the words, it was as if he was Huang Wei's elder.

Mu Lianqing smiled and said, "This kid is just underbeaten, and he will call me for a fight next time." ”

"No problem!" Xiao Yao also laughed in unison.

As he spoke, Mu Lianqing took out a worn-out plastic bag from his pocket, which contained a mottled jade pendant.

He handed the pendant to Xiao Yao and said, "There's nothing to give you when we meet for the first time, so I'll give you a piece of jade!" ”

After speaking, he stared at Xiao Yao with deep meaning.

Xiao Yao had just taken the jade, and suddenly found that there was a fireball in his body, and there were signs of rioting in an instant.

"What's going on?" Xiao Yao asked himself in his heart.

Looking inward, the attracted fireball is the one that contains the black mist.

"This piece of jade can absorb black mist?" Xiao Yao's heart beat for no reason, if this guess is true, then wouldn't this jade be able to solve the problem of dying if you are hit by the black mist?

If jade can be mass-produced, wouldn't it make the black mist useless anymore?

Thinking like this, Xiao Yao used his mind to release a trace of the black ball in his body, and soon, the wisp of black mist directly entered the jade and disappeared.

He raised his head and stared at Mu Lianqing with fiery eyes, this jade was too precious, if he gave it to Tang Xiao, then Tang Xiao would no longer be afraid of the invasion of black fog in the future.

Mu Lianqing shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Don't look at me like this, there are only three pieces of this jade that have survived, and I don't have any more if I want more." ”

Xiao Yao didn't stupidly ask where the jade came from, he knew that Mu Lianqing wouldn't tell him easily if he knew.

"I can't ask for it." Xiao Yao pushed the jade back.

"Why?" Mu Lianqing asked in surprise.

"It's so precious." Xiao Yao shook his head.

Mu Lianqing was not ready to take back the things that were sent out, he smiled and said: "Brother Xiao is willing to come to the scene today, which means that you are eligible to get a piece, don't say much, I think you understand what I mean." ”

After speaking, he patted Xiao Yao's upper arm, nodded at Tang Xiao again, and said, "You talk, I'll go and greet the others." Then he turned around and left, as if he was afraid that Xiao Yao would return the pendant again.
