From school uniform to wedding dress, but I don't want to marry you anymore

Chapter 631 Step 1 of the Plan

In an antique shop.

The light was deliberately dimmed, with only a few spotlights shining precisely on the treasures in the glass display cases.

It seems that each piece has a warm luster that has been caressed by time.

Chen Ziqi stood in front of the independent display case in the center, his figure tall and slender.

The well-tailored black suit on his body blends subtly with the luxurious and antique atmosphere of the room.

He leaned forward slightly, looking intently at the jade pendant lying on the velvet cushion.

A few days ago, he received an invitation letter from Gu Wei.

It’s Yun Ning’s child’s birthday party.

A complex emotion flashed across Chen Ziqi's eyes, like ink dropped into clear water, quickly spreading out and then being forcibly suppressed.

So, even if I don’t like the half of Gu Sili’s blood in that child.

For Yun Ning's sake, the birthday gift he gave had to be expensive.

The man opened his thin lips and said, "Bring this jade pendant here for me to see."

The staff wearing white gloves carefully took out the jade pendant.

The voice was particularly clear in the empty shop: "Sir, you have good taste. This is a Hetian white jade seed material from the Qing Dynasty - the 'Canglong Jiaozi' pendant. Look at the jade, it's smooth and delicate, with first-class whiteness, and almost no structure under the light."

"The carving is standard Qianlong workmanship. This large dragon guards the small dragon, which has a very good meaning and is best for keeping children safe and healthy. The price is 300 million."

Chen Ziqi lowered his eyes and saw that the jade pendant was flowing with a restrained luster under the spotlight, warm and transparent.

A dragon is coiled, with a baby dragon nestled under its head. The shape is vivid and the lines are smooth. It is indeed an extraordinary piece.

"Three million for a child's birthday, isn't that too much?"

A female voice sounded behind him, breaking the silence.

Chen Ziqi turned around slowly,

The light cast a boundary between light and dark on his sharply contoured profile.

Fan Qianqian was standing not far away, wearing a long dress with an ambiguous smile on her lips.

Chen Ziqi looked at her without any fluctuation in his eyes. He asked calmly, "Have you finished what you wanted to do?"

Fan Qianqian stepped forward, her smile deepening with a barely perceptible sternness. "Yeah. My uncle and his family were all hospitalized because of an explosion from a low-quality charger."

As we all know, low-quality chargers are prone to explosion.

Since it was going to explode sooner or later, she just made it happen earlier.

Of course, all traces of the action disappeared in the fire.

Thinking of her uncle's family who were burned beyond recognition and lying wailing on the hospital bed, Fan Qianqian was in a very good mood.

The corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise, and she whispered, "They're so badly injured, so tragic. But I will definitely take good care of them."

"Ah."

Chen Ziqi didn't react at all.

Cooperating with Fan Qianqian to do what she wants to do will stabilize her emotions and facilitate cooperation.

So, he just turned a blind eye.

Chen Ziqi's expression was indifferent, and he returned his gaze to the jade pendant.

Fan Qianqian also took a look over. The warm glow made her squint her eyes: "Is this the birthday present you gave to that child?"

Chen Ziqi asked, "What do you think?"

Fan Qianqian sneered, with undisguised calculation in her eyes: "It doesn't matter what the gift is, whether it's a jade pendant or marbles. What matters is that we can use this opportunity to meet that child."

She took a step closer and lowered her voice, like a venomous snake spitting out its tongue, "As long as we see it, the first step of our plan will be successful."

"Ah."

Chen Ziqi nodded slightly.

But Yun Ning's face couldn't help but flash through my mind.

If something happened to the child, she would be very sad, right?

The man's fingers hanging at his sides curled up almost imperceptibly.

My heart felt like it was being gripped by something invisible, and it felt very suffocating.

The suffocation made him irritable.

However, the plans that need to be made still need to be made.

Sacrifice is inevitable.

The thought was like an ice cone, piercing through the brief hesitation and making the aura around Chen Ziqi even colder.

He raised his eyes, no longer looking at the "Canglong Jiaozi" pendant, and turned to the staff beside him, his voice returning to his usual indifference: "Put this away. Pick me a more valuable jade pendant."

……

In the bar.

The light and shadows flickered, and the air was filled with the aroma of whiskey and a faint scent of perfume.

The dark blue velvet sofa was sunken in the shadows, and a small warm yellow light floated on each glass table, like fireflies floating in the night.

"The contract handed over by Gu's company is a hundred benefits for us and has no disadvantages."

Shen Xiuyun shook his wine glass, and the ice cubes clinked. "It's a win-win situation. What are you worried about?"

"..."

Yun Yi didn't say anything, just leaned lazily on the sofa.

The slender fingers unconsciously stroked the rim of the cup, causing the amber liquid to sway gently.

“Remember when we started our business abroad?”

Shen Xiuyun approached without giving up, "Even if the other party just slammed the table with you the day before, as long as there is profit to be made, you will be arm in arm with them the next day. Now, what's going on?"

Yun Yi finally raised his eyes, his thin lips curled up in a smile: "I shook hands with them and made peace, just so that I don't have to shake hands with that person and make peace."

"you……"

Shen Xiuyun was choked and speechless.

He leaned against the table and glared at Yun Yi for a long time, then finally raised his head and took a big gulp of wine with a snort.

At this moment, a slim figure appeared under the dim light.

He Yiqing wore a black suspender dress, the velvet fabric tightly wrapped around her exquisite curves.

Her curly hair languidly draped over her shoulders, each strand tinged with the brilliance of the bar.

"Hi!"

She waved at Shen Xiuyun, her voice sounding like honey.

Shen Xiuyun blew a loud whistle: "Miss He, you are so beautiful tonight?"

Yun Yi looked up at He Yiqing who was approaching him, then stood up, picked up his coat and was about to walk out.

"Mr. Yun~"

He Yiqing walked over quickly, took his wrist in her soft hand, and shook it gently, "You're leaving right after you got here?"

"..."

Yun Yi stood still, his jawline tense.

The woman's gentle little hands seemed to have magical power, making his whole body stiff.

Only his face managed to maintain a cold expression.

"No..., he ran away, she chased him, he couldn't escape even if he had wings."

Shen Xiuyun covered his eyes exaggeratedly, "Are you acting out forced love in front of me? Have you two ever considered the feelings of single people?"

"Vice President Shen, I really have something important to do."

He Yiqing winked playfully and took out two exquisite invitations from her handbag. "In a few days, it will be the birthday party of Mr. Gu and Yun Ning's child. The Second Young Master asked me to send the invitations to you two."

"Ah? Little An An is having a birthday?"

Shen Xiuyun took it immediately and said, "I will be there on time."

"Great!"

He Yiqing chuckled and handed the invitation to Yun Yi again, "Mr. Yun, Mr. Gu and his wife really hope that you can attend your nephew's third birthday party."

Yun Yi glanced at the invitation letter with an indifferent expression and did not accept it.

"Mr. Yun, you are An An's uncle. Even if you have a grudge against his father, you can't offend the child, right?"

As He Yiqing spoke, she took the initiative to put the invitation letter into Yun Yi's hand.

"..."

Yun Yi moved his fingertips, but ultimately did not retreat.
