Before Gu Yu attended today's banquet, he had already thought that the news that he and Bai Yuze were together would reach Wu Tian's ears through this banquet. But he did not expect to meet Liu Jin and Wu Tian's best friend here. , good brother. You must know that the protagonist of tonight's banquet is Bai Yuze, and the Bai family and the Wu family have always been at odds. As Wu Tian's good brother, Liu Jin would not come here to cheer for Bai Yuze under normal circumstances, but what happened today? Are you here now? She knows very well those good brothers of Wu Tian. The eldest brother Zhou Haoran, the second child Wang Da, the fourth child Hao Jun, the youngest Liu Jin, and Wu Tian are the third child. When she went to join Before we came to China, we were always together and had a good relationship.
Although tonight's banquet has no clear purpose, judging from the people who came here tonight, a discerning person can tell at a glance that someone wants to flatter Bai Yuze. Bai Yuze is the well-deserved protagonist of today's banquet. He probably knows Bai Yuze Ze returned to the capital from the local area. It is difficult to see him usually, but this opportunity was rare, so he took the opportunity of the banquet to get closer to Bai Yuze.
This situation is very common in the circle. If it is just a gathering in the circle, then all the 'giants' in the circle will appear. But now there is only one Bai Yuze. Obviously the organizer does not want other giants to snatch Bai Yuze away. The limelight, so except for Bai Yuze, the families of other people here cannot be considered top-notch in the capital. Although there are a lot of children of ministers and governors here tonight, these alone are not enough to see in the capital. of.
In a banquet where Bai Yuze is the protagonist, Wu Tian's good brother Liu Jin will appear. This is obviously unreasonable. After all, when inviting someone to a banquet, you will usually tell who will be attending the banquet. Let’s set the tone for the nature and level of the banquet. Did the organizer make a mistake? Or are there other reasons?
Seeing Liu Jin looking at him with strange eyes, Gu Yu's face turned pale and bloodless. He had met Liu Jin this morning, but he didn't expect to meet him again here. Is this a coincidence? What if it is true? Coincidence, that's too unlucky, right? If the encounter was just embarrassing, then meeting now made her feel ashamed. If there was a mouse hole, she would definitely get into it.
Gu Yu wanted to pretend that she didn't see it, because Liu Jin's gaze made her feel very ashamed, but this was obviously impossible. Who knows what Liu Jin's next move will be? Will this happen? Tell Wu Tian about the matter? No, Liu Jin must not be allowed to tell Wu Tian about it, let alone Wu Tian coming here.
Guyu thought for a while, then turned to Bai Yuze, who was enjoying the flattery of others, and said, "Sorry, I met an acquaintance. Let's go over and have a chat."
In response to Gu Yu's request to leave temporarily, Bai Yuze was surprisingly not angry, but showed a very gentle and tolerant look. He stretched out his hand on Gu Yu's arm, patted it gently, and said with a smile, "My dear, go ahead. .”
Gu Yu felt disgusted by Bai Yuze's pretentious look, but she was a little surprised to get such a happy agreement from the other party. In fact, she had already guessed that the other party would agree. This is why she made the request in front of everyone. The man was Animals with a strong sense of vanity usually appear extra generous when outside or when outsiders are around. It’s just that she thought that the other person would ask her or go with her. It seems that vanity will make animals People change.
Gu Yu didn't say anything to Bai Yuze, and turned around and walked in the direction of Liu Jin.
Bai Yuze looked at Gu Yu's back and glanced in the direction he was walking. After seeing Liu Jin, instead of being angry, he raised the corners of his mouth and showed a smile. Then he pretended not to notice,
Continue chatting with the people around you. The feeling of being praised by others is really very satisfying. He enjoys the feeling of being treated like a star.
"Liu Jin." Guyu came to Liu Jin's side.
"Yu, Sister Yu." Liu Jin suddenly didn't know how to address the other party, so he could only continue to call him Sister Yu as before. But if the other party really became Bai Yuze's woman, then this 'Sister Yu'
He will no longer exist. And he will also be his enemy.
Gu Yu glanced at the other people beside Liu Jin. This was not the place to talk, so he said calmly, "Follow me." After saying that, he walked towards a corner with fewer people.
Liu Jin looked at Gu Yu and then followed him. He knew that Gu Yu had something to say to him, and he also had many questions to ask about what was going on and what happened, so he followed closely.
behind the other party.
When they came to the corner, Liu Jin couldn't wait to ask Gu Yu, "Sister Yu, I just heard that you and Bai Yuze came together, and Bai Yuze also said that you were his woman? Is this true?
"Liu Jin couldn't believe this news, but everyone spread it, and he saw Bai Yuze holding Gu Yu's hand and walking downstairs together, which made him have to believe it. So.
, he was very eager to ask Gu Yu face to face. Only when he heard Gu Yu say it with his own ears would he truly believe it.
After hearing this, Gu Yu's face was complicated and his expression changed uncertainly, but in the end he nodded and said to Liu Jin, "Yes."
"Ah? Is it true?" Liu Jin had an incredible expression on his face, "When I heard them say it just now, I didn't believe it. Even if you beat me to death, I wouldn't believe that you would be with Bai Yuze. Last night
You were drinking with Brother Tian... tell me, what happened? Why are you with Bai Yuze?"
"I can't explain this matter in one sentence or two. In short, I hope you won't tell Wu Tian about this matter. Okay?" Gu Yu looked at Liu Jin and said.
"No, if you don't explain the matter clearly, I will definitely tell Brother Tian." Liu Jin said after hearing this, "Since I can't explain it in one or two sentences, then you can say a few more words. Anyway, I have plenty of time tonight.
.You know, among the brothers, I am the idle one and have the most time." Although Liu Jin is not a nosy person, this matter is not trivial, it is related to Brother Tian's future happiness, and even whether Brother Tian will
He might go crazy again, so he had to figure it out.
Gu Yu showed a hesitant expression. After thinking for a long time, he sighed, looked at Liu Jin and said, "You better not know about this matter. You only need to know that I only had no choice but to be with Bai Yuze."
Just be together."
"We have no choice?" Liu Jin was stunned. This sentence made him feel a lot better, as long as he didn't really fall in love with that bastard Bai Yuze, but it also aroused his curiosity, "If it was no choice, then
It's even worse. Did Bai Yuze force you? And what leverage do you have in his hands? Just tell me and I will help you find a way to solve it. Even if I can't do it, Brother Tian and the others will definitely be able to do it.
.”
After hearing this, Gu Yu shook his head and said, "This is not something you can do."
"What? Is there something we brothers can't do? Guyu, you look down on us too much, right? Tell me, what is it? I want to see what it is that we brothers can't do.
"Yes." Liu Jin said loudly. His tone was very arrogant and unconvincing. In his opinion, nothing could stop the five brothers.
Although she heard Liu Jin's words, Gu Yu had no intention of saying anything. After all, it was not a glorious thing. If Liu Jin was told, not only would the Gu family be disgraceful, but her father would be even more disgraceful. In the eyes of others,
She will also become a shameless person. This is not what she wants.
"Sister Yu, please tell me." Liu Jin saw Gu Yu was silent and stamped his feet anxiously. He is an impatient person and has no patience. Saying half a word to him would be more uncomfortable than killing him.
If it were anyone else, he would have been anxious with the other person, but now that the other person is Gu Yu, he can only endure it, "Even if you don't believe me, don't you still believe Brother Tian?"
"I believe you, but...!"
"There is no but. You have to say it." Liu Jin said with a serious face. He was really anxious.
Seeing Liu Jin's serious expression, Gu Yu shook his head helplessly, then looked at him and said, "Okay, let me tell you. In fact, my relationship with Bai Yuze is just a transaction."
"trade?"
"Yes. It's just that the item being traded is me." As she spoke, Gu Yu had a sad expression on her face. Being used as an item for trade by the family was undoubtedly a manifestation of being abandoned by the family, which made her feel sad.
How not to be sad?
"What exactly is going on?" Liu Jin asked curiously. Has Guyu become a trading item? Who has the power to treat Sister Yu as a trading item?
"I believe you should also know the current situation of my family." Gu Yu looked at Liu Jin and said, "After grandpa left, our Gu family lost its backbone. Dad also lost any advantage in promotion. Now he is very likely to be
The tendency of people to be excluded. If my father cannot be promoted this time, then our Gu family will be in trouble. No one can support the family, and the development of my brothers and sisters will not be good, and the family will surely suffer.
Decline. As the current head of the family, my father does not want this to happen. In order to gain support from other families and help him in this promotion, my father joined the Bai family in order to maintain the relationship between the Gu and Bai families.
, In order for the Bai family to support our Gu family more, I can only become Bai Yuze's woman. You know, Bai Yuze chased me back then and never gave up on me, so...!"
Liu Jin frowned as he listened. Now he finally understood why Gu Yu was with Bai Yuze, and why Bai Yuze said that Gu Yu was his woman. It turned out that Gu Yu became a victim of the Gu family's defection to the Bai family.
"Your Gu family should have a good relationship with the Wu family, so why did you defect to the Bai family? Don't you know that the Bai Yuze family is at odds with Brother Tian? If it's just because you hurt Brother Tian back then, you think the Wu family
If you won’t accept your Gu family, then you underestimate the magnanimity of the Wu family, right?" Liu Jin said. In his opinion, even if the Gu family wants to rely on a big tree, they should look to the Wu family. Not to mention that the Wu family is not powerful enough.
Not worse than the Bai family, and even slightly higher. Recently, he heard some news through some channels, saying that Wu Tian's father will be promoted after the year. If his position is promoted again, plus Wu Tian's
The eldest uncle and the second uncle are fully capable of competing with the Bai family.
"My father hinted to the Wu family, but did not get a response from the Wu family. This cannot be blamed on the Wu family, but also on my father. It is because his attitude towards several families has always been very ambiguous, and at this moment he cannot be clear.
His attitude has become bigger. Among several families, only the Bai family has responded, so my father can only devote himself to the Bai family."
Only then did Liu Jin understand what was going on. Politics is very complicated. It may sound simple, just a few sentences, but the process must be thrilling, with helplessness and danger. Sometimes one wrong move can lead to a complete loss.
All lose. This is really not something that can be explained clearly in one or two sentences, which is why he does not play politics. It seems that the Wu family has not expressed a clear attitude towards the Gu family, and at the same time is ambiguous with other families.
His attitude was very dissatisfied, so he did not respond to the Gu family's hint. Moreover, Uncle Wu is at the last moment of his rise. Although the matter has been roughly settled, no one knows what will happen before it is announced. If it is closed at this time
The Bai family. Those families that are at odds with the Bai family will stand against the Wu family, and those who compete with the boss of the Gu family for that position will also become the enemies of the Wu family. It is obviously not good to establish too many enemies at this time.
It was a wise choice, not to mention that the Gu family's attitude was not clear, so it was normal for the Wu family not to respond.
It seems that this matter is really beyond the control of their brothers. After all, it is related to the interests of the family, and what the family has decided is useless even if they say it. What's more, although they are the younger generation
, but the interests of the family will not be harmed because of certain things. After all, the family is the most important thing.
I don’t know if Brother Tian knows about this. Should he tell Brother Tian? Liu Jin thought for a while, looked at Gu Yu and asked, "Brother Tian, does he know that the Gu family gave you to Bai Yuze?"
Guyu shook his head gently and said, "You probably don't know that today is the first time that Bai Yuze and I have attended a public event, and this matter of mine was just confirmed today."
Liu Jin said nothing after hearing this. Children sacrifice for the family. It is a matter of course in the family. Many men marry women they don't like, and many women marry men they don't like. This is very common in the circle.
It's common. After all, marriage has been the best way to find a backer and expand influence since ancient times. Even he himself couldn't escape this fate in the end, so he seems to be afraid of playing with women now, and his parents' behavior towards him
It’s also like turning a blind eye and closing one eye.
"Liu Jin. I hope you don't tell Wu Tian about this." Guyu said to Liu Jin again. Seeing that Liu Jin didn't speak, he was worried that the other party would tell Wu Tian about her, which would hurt Wu Tian.
.It will make her feel even more guilty.
"Why?" Liu Jin asked. In his opinion, Brother Tian must be told about such a big thing.
"Because I'm already very sorry for him." Gu Yu said with a face of shame.
"The matter between you and Bai Yuze has been made public. Do you think you can hide it from Brother Tian? Even if I don't tell him, others will tell him," Liu Jin said.
"I heard that Wu Tian has been busy with his projects recently. He is often in the laboratory and rarely comes out. I also heard that in recent years he rarely attends outside banquets. As long as he does not come into contact with people in his circle, I believe
He won't know about me. Please tell Zhou Haoran and the others, and be sure not to tell Wu Tian."
"This matter cannot be decided by me alone." Liu Jin said, "I still need to discuss it with Brother Zhou and the others."
"No, you must not tell Wu Tian how long you can keep it secret." Gu Yu said, "I beg you."
"...!"
"Liu Jin? It's been a long time no see."
I don't know when Bai Yuze suddenly appeared here. Because Liu Jin and Gu Yu had been talking about serious things, they didn't notice anyone approaching at all. They also believed that no one without a good eye would disturb them. However,
, Bai Yuze is an exception.
Bai Yuze walked up to Gu Yu, put his arms around Gu Yu's slender waist, and asked Gu Yu, "My dear, what are you talking about? You seem to be very happy. Say it and let's share it together."
Happy? Liu Jin and Gu Yu's expressions were both serious, and there was no hint of happiness. If Bai Yuze didn't ask this intentionally, then he meant something else.
Gu Yu suddenly became unnatural when Bai Yuze hugged her waist. Especially in front of Liu Jin, her whole body froze. She just wanted to break away from the other party's hand, but when she met Bai Yuze's eyes, her whole body froze.
His eyes seemed to be saying to her: 'Have you forgotten the deal between us?' Gu Yu gave up the idea of breaking free.
Liu Jin frowned when he saw it. He looked at Gu Yu's pale face and then at Bai Yuze's triumphant look. He sneered and said, "We were talking about a toad. A toad wants to eat swan meat. Do you think it's funny or not?"
.”
"Really? That's really ridiculous." Bai Yuze said after hearing this, "As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together, people talk to each other, and toads talk to each other. What are you thinking about swans?"
"People don't necessarily speak human words when they are together. Some people talk nonsense when they are together. Do you think they are human beings or not?" Liu Jin fired back.
"Really? People tell lies? I think it must be an unresolved relationship between people and ghosts." Bai Yuze said with a smile, "By the way, why are you the only one here? Didn't Wu Tian and the others come?" As he said,
Bai Yuze turned his head and looked around, pretending to be looking for Wu Tian.
