Chapter 371 Temporary Allies
What did she just... do?
Did she just kiss him on the cheek? ? !

As soon as Xu Yiru leaned down and kissed Han Yi on the cheek, the expressions of Madison Beer and Barbara Pavin suddenly stiffened in sudden shock.

After a few seconds, the two people came to their senses and showed two completely different ways of coping.

The young and energetic Tracy McGrady couldn't hide things, and all her emotions were written on her face. Her fists were clenched under the dining table, and her tongue swept around in front of her upper teeth. A thick layer of frost instantly formed from the corners of her eyes to her lower jaw.

You guessed it right.

Sure enough it was her.

This woman who visited the office of Xinghui Building more frequently than she was was a wild cat that was dormant next to Yi, ready to move, and wanted to steal something.

And he actually dared to take a bite of the fish she had worked so hard to fatten in front of her!

This Grace is bolder and more hateful than Barbara.

With anger, Madison stamped a bright green confirmation stamp in his heart for the doubts that had been fermenting in recent months.

How careless.

"Really?" Barbara raised her eyebrows, "Then what did it bring to you?"

Yi took two girls and went to Las Vegas to meet his mother!
two!

Madison opened her mouth and was about to refute, but was interrupted by Barbara.

"Don't put your hands where they shouldn't be."

You actually know it!

"And the position I'm placing now is already very conservative. You don't want to know where these hands have been." Xiaoru narrowed her almond-shaped eyes with a smile, raised her right hand, and showed her hair to Madison. The flawless white jade-colored back of the hand, "is something that children cannot listen to."

"Hmm... I guess I guess."

Xiaoru tilted his head, with an innocent look on his face.

What about this? !

"Late to the party? I don't think so." Xiao Ru glanced at the stool opposite Han Yi indifferently, without any intention of moving, "If you have to say it, I should be the first one to arrive here. Party people.”

So...in May, when Yi's family traveled to the United States, Grace actually accompanied him throughout the trip?

Madison picked up the knife and vented his anger on the large pancake in front of him.

What kind of outrageous plot development is this? ? ?

After a few seconds, she breathed a sigh of relief, and a dangerous smile appeared on her lips.

Woah woah woah.

It's... Ugh, infuriating.

Hold on now…

"If you're the only girl who gets a gift."

Xiaoru put his right index finger to his mouth, pretending to think seriously.

Madison's eyes opened even wider. If there hadn't been a dining table between them, she would have grabbed Barbara's shoulders by now and was shaking the latter violently.

Barbara Pavin, who has been immersed in the bizarre European and North American fashion circles for many years and has become more mature in mind and behavior, maintains her elegant and charming but distant smile, standing in front of Madison who is temporarily angry - Bill, for her part, helped her out.

"Where it shouldn't be?"

"Miss."

Someone has actually done what I boasted about.

"Sit down first, Grace. You're kinda late to the party."

Why didn't you see it before?

Then, Barbie looked very friendly and stretched out her hand to pull out the only empty light brown soft stool on the right side for Xu Yiru. The seating arrangement of a table for four in the Wynn buffet restaurant is the most classic mahjong table layout, with one person on each side and a bloody battle to the end.

Barbara's behavior was similar to Madison's. She used the sharp tip of her dinner fork to break the scrambled eggs on the porcelain plate.

"What did you bring? Let me think about it."

Madison's gaze converged into a sharp thorn, penetrating Xu Yiru's plain hands on Han Yi's shoulders.

Yi Lian tells you this kind of thing?

It seems that you do have a special hobby in this area, Barbara!

"I can put my boyfriend wherever I want. Is there anything wrong with it?"

Hearing Xu Yiru's response, Madison straightened up in his seat, his pupils narrowed, and he looked at Han Yi, who was sitting on pins and needles, frantically looking for holes on the ground, ready to get in at any time, and then looked at the silver fork in his hand, no Barbara knew what she was thinking about.

Maddie carefully concealed the unbelievable annoyance in her eyes. After all, in front of Barbara, she boasted that she had met Han Yi's family, had dinner with them, and got their approval.

This thing is crazy enough in itself, but what's even crazier is...

Mama Han, who she didn't even have a chance to meet, gave a gift to another girl?

"Meeting his family, traveling with them for two weeks, and accepting a gift from his mother, does that count?"

"It's just a kiss. It's PG-13 at best... Madison should have listened to it a long time ago."

"you……"

"You and she chatted... It's really not that long, Yi Yi."

Hearing Barbara's counterattack, Xiaoru clenched his teeth and read this Chinese sentence in Han Yi's ear, which was a true portrayal of the intense activity in Madison's heart at this moment.

"This one……"

Han Yi swallowed hard, not knowing who to focus on.

If he had known that such a day would come, he would not dare to mess with any of the three goblins on this table.

"The main thing is that I hope someone can... give me some advice."

"What's the counselor?" The Baodao girl, who has always been sweet and sweet, rarely had such a strong voice, "It's difficult to make a choice, isn't it?"

"That's not what I mean." Han Yi quickly defended, "It's...how to...control the impact to the minimum."

"So you are looking for her?" Xu Yiru glanced at Barbara from the corner of his eye, "The chicken asked the weasel for help?"

"If I were to speak ill of someone in person, I would definitely choose a language that that person can understand." Barbara didn't know what Xu Yiru was talking to Han Yi, but she could figure it out without using overly complicated logic. It's definitely not a good thing to say. She tapped the table with her index finger, raised her eyes, and met the other party's piercing gaze in mid-air, "This is a fair game."

"Fair game?"

Xu Yiru chuckled and shook her head, removed her hand from Han Yi's shoulder, took a deep breath, and slowly walked towards the empty seat on Barbara's right.

"If you want to play a fair game, from the moment we meet, you will not say that you are some kind of 'his emotional mentor', pretend to be an ordinary friend who cares about us, tell some so-called details, and provide advice for our relationship."

Having said this, Xiaoru turned to look at Madison and asked aloud.

"Is the lie she told you the same version? She pretends to be detached, but in fact it's all a conspiracy in her heart."

Of course, the Baodao girl was asking questions knowingly. She had just carefully eavesdropped on the two people's exchange of words. She knew very well that in front of Madison, the story Barbara told must be completely different.

This model looks simple and cheerful, but in fact she has more than 10,000 evil intentions.

And it's all bad and black.

"Emotional mentor?"

Madison was stunned for a moment, then raised her chin, narrowed her eyes slightly, and stared playfully at Barbara, who pursed her lips across the dining table.

"You can say it's the same version, you can say it's not."

She was not wrong about Barbara - she avoided the important and chose the light, and there was no complete truth in her mouth.

You know, last night, the Hungarian girl solemnly promised herself that she had never heard of the name Grace.

Today, she has become the latter's emotional mentor who knows all the trivial details. A woman who is more cunning than a fox is a real headache.

"Oh, really?" Madison's reply made Xu Yiru smile. She calmly sat down in front of the empty seat, looked down at her thumb and index finger that she was rubbing unconsciously, "Do you mind explaining in detail?"

This layer of Barbara Pavin must be revealed in front of everyone.

"Of course I don't mind. But..."

Madison, who was about to talk eloquently, suddenly stopped talking in the middle of his words. The Changdao girl's gaze also slid from Xu Yiru to Barbara's face again. Because Tracy McGrady, who was rapidly accumulating experience in these rounds of confrontations, instinctively smelled something amiss.

Although it is easy for inner emotions to flow to the surface, and although there are still many reckless flaws in dealing with people, Madison Beer, a Pisces, is born to be an extremely smart and sensitive girl in terms of emotions. Maddie knows very well that at this moment, in this situation, as long as she is willing, she can join forces with Grace at any time to roast Barbara, who has inconsistent words and deeds, on the fire, and connect this girl with Han Yi on a real level. The strongest Hungarian supermodel is gradually getting out of the game.

Not to mention making Han Yi completely give up on her, at least working with Grace would make Barbara basically lose the opportunity to meet Han Yi in private after this music festival.

One lives in Los Angeles and the other lives in New York. As long as they put a little thought into it, how can the two people who work together inside and outside not be able to strangle this thread?
But then again, if Barbara is out, how can Madison alone defeat Grace?
The latter has known Han Yi longer than she has, and the connection with him is obviously deeper. Xu Yiru, who has already met the other person's parents in Las Vegas, is obviously the one who needs to be curbed the most.

Apart from anything else, just being able to communicate with Han Yi in his native language was enough to make Madison wary.

Just now, Grace's two salty questions were obviously intended to further intensify the conflict between her and Barbie and create opportunities to break them one by one.

After Barbara, she was the next one out.

By that time, no one would be able to help her.

so close.

In terms of cunning, Grace, who looks weak and weak, seems to be a bit more sinister than Barbara.

Thinking of this, Madison's inquiring gaze began to linger between Barbara's eyelids, eyebrow arches and even the corners of her lips, trying to catch some obscure cooperation signals.

Barbie, who was as attentive as a hair, could read the subtext in Maddie's eyes in just a moment. She turned her face slightly, facing Xu Yiru's direction and paused for two or three seconds, and then winked at Madison lightly.

Yes, Barbara Pavin holds the same view as Madison Beer. She knew Grace much more deeply and thoroughly than Maddie, so she could more clearly recognize the threat of Han Yi's close friend.

Barbara knew that if she chose to retreat to the sidelines and become a complete spectator, then, if things continued to develop along the normal trajectory, Han Yi, who would have to choose between Grace, Yuzhen and Madison Beal, would most likely choose the first option.

Even if we don't talk about feelings and only talk about responsibility, care and bond, Grace still has a huge advantage.

Therefore, when Barbie decides to let go, she can get along with Grace and even feel pity and sympathy for the latter's situation. But now, since she has made up her mind to return to the battlefield, Xu Yiru is the most powerful enemy that she needs to deal with most carefully.

Barbara, who travels around the world all year round, knows that it is impossible for her to compete with Grace, who can be by Han Yi's side every day. Only by joining forces with Madison, who also has a busy schedule, can they form a balance with this opponent who is already a few steps ahead of them and has even been seen by their parents.

Barbara knows that this offensive and defensive alliance is not a long-term solution, but it is also the safest and most appropriate solution that Barbara can think of at the moment - after all, she has not yet explored the depths of You Zhen and dare not rush into it. He extended an olive branch, but he didn't dare to involve her in the already messy chess game, further complicating the situation. Therefore, after a night of friction and conflict, Madison, whose temper and temperament has been figured out by her, is Barbara's only suitable partner at this moment.

Of course, the above remarks are all rational analysis. As for the emotional level, what motivated the Hungarian girl to make this decision...

Who told Grace that she dared to kiss the man she liked in front of Barbie?
If you don't turn the gun on this woman, how can you possibly swallow this breath?

Barbara believed that Madison across the table must have similar impulses to hers in this regard.

No girl can remain calm in this situation.

In other words, no human can.

As a result, driven by multiple factors, Barbara Pavin and Madison Beer, who had been at loggerheads five minutes ago, magically became temporary allies against Grace.

Although fragile and delicate, with mutual trust at stake and a partnership that could fall apart at any time, it is indeed an offensive and defensive alliance.

"But what?"

"But... I'm curious, Grace. Has Barbara ever mentioned me in front of you?"

"you?"

"Yes, me." Madison pointed at herself with a sweet smile, "We all know that Yi talks to Barbara a lot. She may be the best person to bring this together except... I don't know, God. Someone who has sorted out the mess. She knows a lot about you and me, and according to you, she also said a lot of things she shouldn't have said. So, I just want to know if she. I have never shared anything between me and Yi in front of you...anything."

"She..." Madison's question was a little abrupt. Xiaoru, who was unsure of the other party's true intention, paused for a moment and finally chose to tell the truth, "She didn't tell anything about you. Before I met you today... well, before I met you here today, I suspected you, but this suspicion has never been confirmed."

"Does that mean Barbara has never revealed my secret?"

"You can say that."

"I understand. Look, Grace..." Madison leaned forward slightly, resting her arms on the dining table, keeping a parallel posture, "She and I chatted for a long time last night, almost two or three hours. . But for such a long time, she has never revealed your true identity. Even when I asked you by name, she said she had never heard of this name. "

"That's what she said?" Xiao Ru's eyes turned around in front of Barbara, hiding the surprise in her heart very well.

"Yes, I know she confirmed your identity when she talked to me, but she still chose to keep it a secret for you. No matter why she did it, at least she did it. So... I'm sorry, Ger. Lace, I can't tell you the exact version of the story she told me, trading sincerity for silence."

Madison's grand rhetoric is actually the tacit understanding formed between her and Barbara. Maddie knew very well that neither she nor Barbara could take advantage of Grace, who had been in an in-depth relationship with Han Yi for two years. The only thing that can be called an advantage is the specific progress of their relationship with Han Yi, who has not yet been able to grasp it.

Xu Yiru didn't know about Barbara and Han Yi's summer romance, nor the passionate entanglement between Madison and Han Yi, so she couldn't assess the degree of threat they posed to her and formulate an effective response strategy.

In other words, the one-way transparency of information helped Barbara and Madison lay a layer of fog of war in front of Xu Yiru's eyes.

As long as Han Yi doesn't take the initiative to confess, Xiaoru will always be kept in the dark.

Her car led for half a lap, but was about to head into the unknown night.

At the end of every bend, there may be an abyss.

If they want to buck the trend, or simply let Xu Yiru run off the track, Madison and Barbara must keep the secrets they share from each other.

"Exchange silence for silence, I like this sentence." Observing the expressions of Maddie and Barbie carefully, Xiaoru smiled knowingly, "But I prefer to exchange sincerity for sincerity... It doesn't matter, I believe that one day, there will always be a way. You can hear this version of the story.”

"What method, from him?" Madison raised her index finger and pointed at Han Yi, "Grace, you should know better than anyone else, Yi is... the one who has the least motivation to tell you the truth, even if you Put him on the fire."

"That's true." Looking expressionlessly at Han Yi, who had completely lost his ability to deal with crises in such a turbulent environment, burying his face in the ice water and waiting to die, Xu Yiru nodded and agreed. . From Madison's words, she could hear some hidden meanings, "Then do you think...who should I talk to?"

"you can look for me."

Madison's gentle answer made Barbara and Xu Yiru look puzzled at the same time.

"I may not be able to tell you things related to Barbara, but... I can share with you everything I know."

"The premise is that you can answer my next question truthfully."

"what is the problem?"

"I want to know, who is the other girl? She is... the one who accepted Mama Han's gift with you."

This is the fragile and delicate part of this offensive and defensive alliance. Finding a way to suppress the dominant Grace is indeed the consensus reached by Madison and Barbara in the silent eye contact, but this does not mean that Madison does not have his own Little thoughts.

From last night to this morning, hundreds of conversations allowed Maddie to roughly summarize the situation she was currently facing. Unfortunately, of the three girls at this table, she was not only the slowest but also the one with the least information. Both Barbara and Grace obviously knew the other girl's true identity, but she was the only one who was kept in the dark.

A car that wants to overtake cannot just rely on the opponent to rush out of the track. It must understand all the road conditions in the stage ahead and strive to increase its own speed to have a real chance of winning.

"another……"

Facing Madison's question, Xu Yiru, who always maintained a calm and decisive expression, finally frowned, showing a trace of hesitation and hesitation, and glanced at Han Yi, who was sitting opposite her, almost subconsciously. At this time, there was no special change on the latter's face, but the palms of his hands that were hugged to his chest and suddenly clenched his arms still revealed the nervousness that he had carefully concealed. Barbara, who was sitting on her left, was also staring at her, her eyes shining brightly.

Xiaoru understood where the turmoil between Han Yi and Barbara came from.

Madison Beale must not know the true identity of the "second girl."

Once it is revealed, it will definitely have an unpredictable and devastating impact on Han Yi's career, Tracy McGrady's career, and Yu Zhen's career.

"I do not……"

"Tread lightly now, Grace...remember, exchange sincerity for sincerity."

Madison took a sip of the still-cold orange juice, smacked her lips, and breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Well, in order to make it easier for you to answer, let me ask the question in a different way."

"I promise, I just want to know the truth. Once I know the truth, I won't do anything... Everything will stay as it is."

At this point, Madison spread out his palms and placed them tightly on the table.

"So, tell me, Grace..."

"This so-called 'other girl'..."

"Is it Yu Zhen?"
