Before 9pm.
Jiang Baiyu was safely delivered to the door of the Jiang family villa by Yan Jinzhou.
Yan Jinzhou got out of the car first, opened the door for the boy, and asked him to get out of the car. He stood outside the car and smiled at the boy holding the blue rose. Under the night, his beautiful peach eyes held indescribable charm.
And with a hint of ill-intention.
Jiang Baiyu knew what he was going to say at the first glance. He deliberately looked away from Yan Jinzhou, lowered his eyes and got out of the car holding the flower bouquet. However, as soon as he got off his foot, the car door was slightly closed by the man.
Jiang Baiyu:......
"What are you going to do again?"
They were already at his door. He didn't believe that Yan Jinzhou still dared to say those words to bully him.
Yan Jinzhou: "Is it a pity that you didn't do the whole thing on the date?"
Jiang Baiyu:......
He really dared to say it!
Yan Jinzhou said regretfully: "You are too young. If you were one year older, I would definitely satisfy you."
Jiang Baiyu looked around nervously and lowered his voice: "If you say that again, I'm really going to get angry."
"I am serious."
Yan Jinzhou knocked the boy on the head and said, "Wait until your eighteenth birthday."
The lights in front of the Jiang family villa turned on, and Shen Shiyi walked out and greeted the two of them with a smile: "Xiaoyu, Jinzhou, you are back. Come in and sit down."
Yan Jinzhou put away his frivolous expression for a second, turned around and responded to Shen Shiyi in a gentle manner, saying, "Auntie, please worry, but I still have something to do and have to go back and deal with it. I won't disturb Auntie and Uncle Jiang today."
Jiang Baiyu: ...sanctimonious.
After watching Yan Jinzhou go, Shen Shiyi looked at her son holding a bouquet of flowers jokingly, and asked quickly: "Tell me, where did you go for dinner? How did you get along?"
Jiang Baiyu: "It's okay."
Shen Shiyi asked carefully: "What do you mean it's okay? The flowers he gave you? Or blue roses? You get along well?"
"Mom, don't ask."
The boy's face turned red and he walked home holding the flowers.
He actually understood what Yan Jinzhou was implying. Especially the sentence, 'I have the desire to protect you. '
After two lifetimes, this was the first time anyone except his parents said they would protect him.
Jiang Chengyi said about his wife: "Don't ask, what can you accomplish in this moment? Why are you chasing after her in such a hurry?"
Shen Shiyi exposed him with one sentence: "They said that I was chasing after him in a hurry. I don't know who was so restless all night that he didn't even eat. I'm afraid that the two children won't get along."
Jiang Chengyi turned his head and ignored her.
Jiang Baiyu paused, then turned around and saw several dishes that had not yet been started on the dining table.
He had no choice but to comfort them and said: "Dad, Mom, things between Yan Jinzhou and me are going well. Don't worry. I know everything in my heart."
"Don't listen to your mother's nonsense. I'm just not hungry. I know you know what's going on, but if you feel that it's not good for you to be with Jinzhou... don't force yourself."
Jiang Chengyi chuckled and said, "If you have any thoughts, remember to discuss it with me and your mother."
"alright."
Shen Shiyi: "Let's get down to business. Qingci and his sister have now officially entered the Lu family. The Lu family is holding a birthday party for the brother and sister the day after tomorrow, and they have invited us as a family. Tomorrow, we have to pick out a birthday party for the brother and sister. Gift."
"Xiaoyu, do you know what Qingci likes?"
So fast?
Jiang Baiyu almost forgot about this. He only remembered that the day after tomorrow was for his engagement party with Yan Jinzhou. I completely forgot about Lu Qingci's birthday party.
Shen Shiyi felt worried and asked her son: "Xiaoyu, tell me what kind of gift Qingci would like?"
Jiang Baiyu was in a dilemma, he really didn't know what Lu Qingci liked.
Shen Shiyi: "So you ask Qing Ci what he and his sister like? That way we can be better prepared."
"Okay, I'll ask him."
Jiang Baiyu returned to his room and turned on his phone to send a message to Lu Qingci.
As a result, I was shocked by the missed calls and messages that kept popping up. In just three hours, Lu Qingci made more than twenty phone calls to him, and there were countless messages urging him to contact him quickly.
There was a piece of information in it that made Jiang Baiyu's face turn pale.
[Someone wants to harm you, please contact me! 】
Someone harmed him?
Jiang Baiyu immediately thought of the white car following them and the two men who got out of the car.
Isn't it an illusion?
Jiang Baiyu quickly replied to him:
[Squad leader, who wants to harm me? 】
Lu Qingci seemed to have been staying by his phone. As soon as the message was sent, Lu Qingci called.
"Where are you?"
On the other end of the phone, the young man's voice was tired, hoarse and impatient.
Jiang Baiyu: "I just got home, what's wrong with your voice? What happened?"
Lu Qingci's voice slowed down, but was still low and hoarse: "You have been with the Yan family until now?"
"Ah I......"
Jiang Baiyu hesitated and asked him, "How did you know that I was with the Yan family?"
"I asked Aunt Shen."
I see.
Jiang Baiyu didn't want to tell Lu Qingci about his upcoming engagement with Yan Jinzhou, so he found a reason and said: "Because of the affairs between the two families, I need to go to the Yan family. Who do you think wants to harm me?"
Lu Qingci was silent for a long time: "Someone is buying your deal and wants you to be ruined in City A."
Jiang Baiyu's expression suddenly changed, he held the phone with both hands and asked, "Who is he?"
"I do not know yet."
Lu Qingci said: "I will have someone check it out, but please pay more attention to your safety recently and don't go out alone. If you have anything, please contact me first."
Jiang Baiyu calmly put together what happened today. Yan Jinzhou asked him to buy flowers and have dinner in the name of a date. Someone was following him along the way, and what Yan Jinzhou said just now: "I have the desire to protect you."
Yan Jinzhou must know something.
Jiang Baiyu thought for sure.
On the other end of the phone, the young man's tone became even lower: "Who did you go out with from the Yan family today? Whose car did you take?"
Jiang Baiyu was thinking about other things. When Lu Qingci asked him this question, he didn't know whether to tell the truth. Then he thought about it. Lu Qingci didn't care. There was no need to explain it clearly to him. He just found a reason: " It's just some private matters between the two families."
"I see."
Lu Qingci was silent again, and after a while he said: "Jiang Baiyu, the day after tomorrow is my birthday, remember to come to my house. I have something to say to you in person."
Jiang Baiyu: "I will go. Just now I was discussing with my parents what gift to give you."
A chuckle came from the other end of the phone: "As long as it's from you, anything is fine."
"Jiang Baiyu."
Lu Qingci's mellow and hoarse voice contained uneasiness and expectation that Jiang Baiyu couldn't hear: "See you the day after tomorrow."
Lu Qingci sat on the sofa with a gloomy expression, holding the phone he had just hung up in his hand.
"After so many years of working, this is the first time I'm so tired."
Song He collapsed on the ground and complained: "We have raided all the Taoist priests I know and don't know in City A. It's better for the young master to stay at home. I told him that he will be fine. , you still have to look for it."
Lu Qingci's voice was cold: "But we haven't found out who placed the order yet."
Song He: "When the order came to me, I don't know how many hands it has passed through. I don't know who it is in each hand. Do you want to check it out?"
Lu Qingci glanced at him: "It's really useless."
Song He was almost choked by the scolding.
But after meeting Lu Qingci's clear eyes, she remained silent.
Three years ago, one of his brothers came to him crying and said that he was beaten by a junior high school student named Lu Qingci.
How dare a junior high school student bully their brothers?
Song He couldn't bear it and took a few people to deal with Lu Qingci. After they rushed over with baseball bats and beer bottles, they were beaten down by Lu Qingci, a junior high school student, and few of them could get up.
Later, after getting in-depth contact with them, Lu Qingci actually began to teach them how to make money legally.
Under his step-by-step guidance, he actually bought a half-dead entertainment hall. Under Lu Qingci's guidance, he and his homeless brothers turned the half-dead entertainment hall into the hottest business in the area.
From then on, they all could see that Lu Qingci was no ordinary person and would definitely be able to do great things in the future. So they worshiped Lu Qingci, who was several years younger than them, as their boss and listened to him on almost everything.
Now that he knew that Lu Qingci was actually a living child of the wealthy Lu family, Song He was even more in awe of him from the bottom of his heart.
Lu Qingci warned him calmly: "Don't accept orders casually in the future."
Song He: "But, I have to take my brothers to dinner. When can I break through this entertainment hall alone?"
Lu Qingci: "A single owner offered one million yuan, and they exploited each other. From you, you can only get tens of thousands of yuan, and you have to do desperate work. Are you willing?"
Song He said nothing.
Lu Qingci: "Follow me from now on."
Song He's eyes suddenly lit up: "Brother Lu, this is what I'm waiting for! From now on, whatever you ask me to do, I'll do it for you."
Yan family.
As soon as Yan Jinzhou drove near his home, he saw several cars parked in front of his home from a distance, and an elegantly dressed woman stood in front of the car. Behind the woman stood dozens of Yan family bodyguards.
"What a rare guest."
Yan Jinzhou stepped out of the car with a smile on his face like a cunning fox. "It's so late for my wife to come to see me. It shouldn't be a good thing. How about it? Would you like to come in and have a cup of tea?"
There was endless hatred in Zhou Hui's eyes. She pointed at Yan Jinzhou with trembling fingertips and asked angrily: "Yan Jinzhou, I know you hate me. But you actually put your hands on my book."
"What did you say?"
Yan Jinzhou looked like he didn't understand and asked, "Isn't my eldest brother still being grounded at home by grandpa? How could I possibly do anything to him?"
Zhou Hui: "Don't think I don't know you. Yan Jinzhou, you know what you did! That day you wanted to throw Shu Ran to death. Today you did such...such a vicious thing to Shu Yan, Yan Jinzhou , you lunatic, aren't you afraid of retribution?"
Yan Jinzhou waved his cell phone: "Madam, I really don't understand what you are talking about. Something happened to my elder brother? You go tell grandpa, or can I call the police for you?"
He always had a smile on his face, but there was no warmth in his bent eyes, which made people feel chilly and frightened.
".......you!"
When Zhou Hui thought of her son lying unconscious on the hotel bed, she wanted to tear Yan Jinzhou into pieces immediately.
But we can neither call the police nor let the old man know about this matter. After all, she was the one who made the first move, but was blocked by Yan Jinzhou.
This incident also made her finally understand that Yan Jinzhou was no longer the helpless illegitimate child. She no longer has control over this child. I only regret that I didn't eradicate the root cause at that time, leaving behind such a scourge.
Suddenly, Zhou Hui saw Yan Jinzhou reaching out to her, and she was shocked, "What are you going to do? How dare you...ah!"
Yan Jinzhou grabbed her lapel and pulled out a small recorder from inside.
Zhou Hui's face was extremely pale. Could Yan Jinzhou even notice this? !
Yan Jinzhou held the recorder in his hand with great interest and sighed: "Madam, you brought this thing with you when you came to my place? You also tried so hard to find out what I was doing. Hey, it's really annoying that you don't believe me so much. sad."
As he spoke, he exerted a little force with his strong fingers, and the recorder was instantly crushed by him and still fell to the ground.
Zhou Hui was filled with fear, and her trembling body couldn't help but take a few steps back.
The bodyguards behind her hurried over to protect her, standing in front of Zhou Hui and staring at Yan Jinzhou warily.
Yan Jinzhou waved to Zhou Hui, curved his lips and said with a smile: "Madam, I have something to say to you personally. Do you want to listen?"
How dare Zhou Hui go there?
Yan Jinzhou: "Maybe it's about my eldest brother. Madam, if you don't stop, don't regret it."
Zhou Hui bit her lip fiercely, the anger in her eyes wishing to burn Yan Jinzhou until there was not even ashes left.
But she also knew that since Yan Jinzhou took so many embarrassing photos, he had a handle on her and Shu Yan. He would publish those photos to the world at any time and ruin the reputation of her book.
She came today also to negotiate with Yan Jinzhou.
Zhou Hui reluctantly pushed aside the bodyguard blocking her and walked towards Yan Jinzhou.
The bodyguard wanted to stop her: "Madam, please don't go there."
Zhou Hui didn't listen, but walked over and stood in front of Yan Jinzhou. She suddenly discovered that Yan Jinzhou was very tall, even taller than his son Shu Yan. Standing in this man's shadow, she felt an unprecedented sense of oppression and fear.
The child she hated back then had grown so big at some point.
While she was frightened, she once again deeply regretted why she had not dealt with Yan Jinzhou and his mother at the same time.
Yan Jinzhou gently leaned down to the woman's ear and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Madam, other children also have mothers. You are so angry and distressed when something happens to my eldest brother."
"If something happens to someone else's child, his mother will be as angry and sad as you."
Zhou Hui looked ferocious and shouted angrily: "It was you who did it. It was indeed you who did it. You admitted it!"
But what's the use? The recorder has been crushed by Yan Jinzhou, and she can't get any evidence.
"Madam, don't be angry."
Yan Jinzhou chuckled, followed the steps of the retreating woman and took a step forward. He once again approached the woman and leaned into her ear. He chuckled and said, "I have experienced what it feels like for the most important person to die in front of you. Madam. , do you want to know what that feels like? I'll let you know later."
Like a demon moaning in pleasure.
"ah----"
Zhou Hui's body was unstable, and she took a few steps back in fear as if fleeing, then fell on the bodyguard.
She immediately understood Yan Jinzhou's intention, trembling all over and shouting in fear: "You, what do you want to do? You, you dare, you dare! I want to tell the old man, I want him to know that you want to kill the Yan family, you, you Just a lunatic!"
Several bodyguards had no idea what Yan Jinzhou said to make Zhou Hui so frightened. They looked at Yan Jinzhou worriedly and warily, helped Zhou Hui, who was unsteady on his feet, into the car and left in a hurry.
Yan Jinzhou looked at the leaving car with a smile, his dark eyes getting colder and colder, and the madness condensed between his eyebrows getting stronger and stronger. Under the night, the man's breathing became more and more rapid, and his hands were drooping with veins and trembling violently.
Suddenly, the cell phone in his suit pocket rang.
A call from Jiang Baiyu.
Yan Jinzhou looked at the three words "Jiang Baiyu" on the screen, and his breathing gradually became calmer. He clicked to answer, his eyebrows raised, and his tone was frivolous: "Miss me?"
Jiang Baiyu choked up and said helplessly: "Are you home yet? I have something to ask you."
The boy's voice came from the other end of the phone, and his voice was soft and comfortable.
"Just arrived."
Yan Jinzhou's tense body relaxed unconsciously, leaning against the car at the door.
"I, one of my classmates just told me that someone wants to harm me."
Jiang Baiyu hesitated and asked, "You know what's going on, right?"
He sounded like he was asking, but there was a certain tentativeness in his tone, and it was obvious that he was trying to be clever.
Yan Jinzhou couldn't help but smile: "Why do you think I will know about this?"
Jiang Baiyu was anxious, "Can you please stop joking with me and tell me the truth? I, I'm very worried."
Yan Jinzhou laughed in a low voice and asked, "Are you scared?"
Jiang Baiyu said seriously: "I'm just worried that my family will be implicated."
The boy values his family most, and even the condition of his marriage is that he protect the Jiang family.
Yan Jinzhou asked: "Tell me first who your classmate is? Why does he know about this?"
Jiang Baiyu knew that he couldn't hide it, so he explained: "He is from the Lu family. He knows some people in the society, and those people told him after receiving the order."
"The Lu family?"
Yan Jinzhou asked: "What's your name?"
Jiang Baiyu broke into a cold sweat and said, "Lu Qingci, he and I are classmates."
Lu Qingci.
Yan Jinzhou frowned slightly.
I don't remember such a person in the Lu family. But the Lu family actually knew about the internal affairs of the Yan family, which would be very troublesome.
"gentlemen?"
Jiang Baiyu didn't hear Yan Jinzhou's response for a long time, so he called out tentatively.
"There are bad people who want to take advantage of you and prevent us from getting engaged. But..."
Yan Jinzhou smiled as he talked.
But, he's worse than bad.
"But, I have already solved it. If you believe me, don't be afraid and do what you should do tomorrow."
"I believe you. But..."
There was still worry in the boy's voice as he whispered: "But, what about you? I don't want to just be protected by you. What can I do to help you?"
"help me?"
The madness in Yan Jinzhou's eyebrows gradually disappeared and he said, "You can help me sleep."
Jiang Baiyu thought he was making fun of her again, and was frowning to express dissatisfaction when she heard the man say softly in a low voice: "...it's not a joke."
The man said: "I don't know why. With you here, I can fall asleep without taking medicine."
Jiang Baiyu was stunned and opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.
Because he heard Yan Jinzhou's voice sounding a little sad.
"So, after we get engaged, you have to come and live with me."
Yan Jinzhou's voice suddenly contained his usual sly smile as he said, "Don't forget, this is our marital obligation."
Jiang Baiyu:......
The man raised his voice and urged: "Don't agree?"
Jiang Baiyu didn't react for a while and hesitated: "I, I have to ask my parents first if they are willing."
"That's a promise."
Yan Jinzhou said: "You are not allowed to go back on your word."
Jiang Baiyu sweated on his forehead: He seemed to have been involved again.
