C149 He Fell

As soon as he said that, everyone turned to look at him. They saw Gu Qinian's tall figure slowly approaching and stopping beside Ye Tian.

He looked at everyone's eyes and took the box from Ye Tian's hand indifferently. Then, he opened it in front of everyone.

"This was picked by Ye Tian with great difficulty, but I didn't take it when I got out of the car. I accidentally broke it."

As he spoke, he raised his eyes and looked at Soong Lan with a calm expression. "I'm sorry, Mom. Ye Tian and I will give you a better present in the future."

Soong Lan glanced at the broken jade in his hand and frowned. She then glanced at Ye Tian with displeasure.

However, since Gu Qinian said that, she couldn't say anything even if she was dissatisfied. She could only smile and nod at him.

"What present? We are all family. Do you need to be so polite with your mother?"

Gu Qinian's expression remained the same. His voice was cold. "We should still have the etiquette that a family should have."

In a few words, he took over the matter and settled it.

Ye Ziyan looked at his calm expression and then looked at Ye Tian, who was a little surprised. A hint of jealousy immediately appeared in her eyes.

She originally wanted to watch a good show and wait for Ye Tian to make a fool of herself, but she didn't expect Gu Qinian to help her!

What was even more unexpected was Gu Qiyue. The pride in her eyes disappeared without a trace. She frowned and immediately blurted out in displeasure.

"That's impossible! How could it be broken on the road? That was clearly..."

"What was it?"

Before she could finish her sentence, Gu Qinian swept his cold gaze over, causing her to feel a chill on her back.

Suddenly, she felt as if he had seen through her. She immediately kept silent and did not dare to say a word.

Ye Ziyan watched from the side with cold eyes. A gloomy look flashed across her eyes, and then she smiled warmly and walked to Gu Qiyue's side, holding her arm.

"Qiyue just felt that it was a pity that it wasn't broken."

As she spoke, she smiled at Ye Tian with a kind face. She was gentle and moving, and she acted like a good sister.

"Ye Tian, it's fine if you broke it. Auntie will not blame you for seeing your good intentions."

This attitude made her seem like a master. Ye Tian felt that it was laughable.

At this moment, someone came up to greet Soong Lan, and the latter immediately greeted him with a polite smile. Gu Qinian took the opportunity to lead Ye Tian away.

When there was no one around, Gu Qinian let go of her and looked down with a frown between his eyebrows.

"Aren't you very eloquent? Why are you so stupid today?"

Ye Tian was stunned. She thought that he really thought that she had broken it, so she was a little unhappy.

"How am I stupid? That's your sister. How can I fall in front of so many people? Besides, even if I say that, who will believe me?"

Gu Qinian stopped talking when he heard this.

His black eyes stared at her, and there was a hint of emotion in the depths of his pupils. After a long while, he lifted his thin lips and cleared his throat.

"Tonight, I have something to discuss with Dad, so I don't have time to care about you. You stay here for a while, and we'll leave later."

Ye Tian was a little surprised when she heard this. "Is that okay? Today is your mother's birthday, so you don't need to go back to the mansion?"

Gu Qinian shook his head. "The banquet is over tonight, and they are all staying here. We'll leave when the time comes."

"Oh..." Ye Tian nodded thoughtfully.

Gu Qinian looked at her deeply and didn't say anything else. He turned around and left.

Ye Tian looked at his back and suddenly remembered that he had protected her just now. A sweet feeling rose in her heart.

So... he knew all about it.

She bit her lips lightly and listened to the chatter around her. She put her thoughts aside and went to find food.

The birthday banquet had already begun, but this was not important to her. To her, the only joy in attending the banquet was to eat.

In the blink of an eye, half of the banquet had already begun. Ye Tian had already stuffed her stomach with food, and she felt full. She decided to find a place to rest.

When she looked around, most of the people were gathered in the banquet hall. There was no one in the indoor swimming pool outside the hall.

Thinking about this, she slowly walked over. Just as she was about to sit down and rest in a chair, she heard a familiar voice behind her.

"Ye Tian, you sure enjoy yourself."

Even if the voice turned into ashes, Ye Tian could still hear it. She turned around and saw Ye Ziyan standing behind her.

She raised her eyebrows and casually turned around, tilting her head to look at her.

"Ye Ziyan, if you are smart today, you shouldn't have been thinking of causing trouble for me in this kind of occasion. It is not a bonus for you to ruin this birthday banquet."

Ye Ziyan smiled and looked indifferent.

"I'm afraid you have misunderstood me. I don't have the mood to cause trouble for you. Ye Tian, I came here to tell you calmly that no matter how much you do or how many tricks you use, it is meaningless. You know that Gu Qinian and I have an irreconcilable connection. It is because of this connection that he can't let me go. And you, you are just a woman who climbed into his bed with dirty tricks. Just based on this point, you won't be able to win me for the rest of your life."

Hearing that, the corner of Ye Tian's mouth slightly retracted, and a trace of disdain appeared on her face.

"Ye Ziyan, actually, I'm really puzzled. What kind of thick skin do you have to say these words in front of me?"

"No matter what you think, this is the truth. Ye Tian, no matter how unwilling you are, you can't change it for the rest of your life."

Ye Tian's eyes were indifferent, "How do you know that you can't change it? Ye Ziyan, not everyone has no brains. Even if it's a lie that is hidden very well, there will be a day when it is exposed. Don't you worry that one day, Gu Qinian will know that you have been lying to him all this time, and what will he do to you?"

After saying that, she saw Ye Ziyan suddenly laugh, her eyes full of ridicule.

"Discover? Who dares to expose? You? Ye Tian, have you forgotten that Grandfather's illness has not recovered yet, and his life and death are still in my father's hands? Don't tell me you really think that Gu Qinian found an expert for you and can operate on him? If you dare to say a word, then my dad will definitely not agree to operate on him! "

Hearing that, the corner of Ye Tian's mouth completely stiffened.

Grandfather was her Achilles' heel, and also her only weakness. She absolutely could not let Grandfather take the slightest risk.

Seeing her serious expression, Ye Ziyan's mood instantly became much better. She actually suddenly grabbed her hand and smiled gently.

But immediately after, she said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Ye Tian, this truth is only in my hands. I can only say whatever I say. Human, you have to accept your fate. You won't be able to win against me in this life."

After saying that, she slightly moved away, her face still carrying a sweet smile.

But in the next moment, that smile was suddenly replaced by fear. Her hand was still holding Ye Tian's hand, but her body was uncontrollably leaning to the left.

Plop! Two sounds, accompanied by a shrill scream, instantly resounded throughout the entire banquet hall.
