Rebellious Contract Beast

It didn't take long to reach a cooperation agreement with the people from Yulong Chamber of Commerce. Later at the dinner table, the people from Yulong Chamber of Commerce just said all kinds of polite words and flattered He Jianchuyun.

I don't know how long it took, but servants from the Zhu family lined up with dishes and entered the reception courtyard and began serving each seat.

At this time, Zhu Hong's voice sounded beside him.

"Miss! Why are you here?"

"Huh? What's wrong?" Hearing this, He Jian Chu Yun looked at Zhu Hong in confusion. At this time, she was holding an empty tray in her hand.

"Madam said that she wants you to sit at the same table with her. The eldest master and Master Yanhan have been looking for you."

"Where are my aunts?"

"Over there." Zhuhong pointed to the other side of the platform.

"Okay, I'll be there right away."

"Miss, I'll take you there!"

He stood up and nodded to Wang Hongxu and others, then Hejian Chuyun followed Zhuhong to Hejian Yanqiu's side.

Thanks to the advertising promotion of the Tiger Gang, Ru Ruixuan's jewelry business has recovered a lot during this period. The old witch's aunt's life in the Zhu family is not as tight as before. When He Jian Yanqiu saw her, her face was beaming, the sadness between her brows disappeared, and she talked and laughed with others.

"Yun'er! Here! Come quickly!"

"Aunt, I'm here!"

"Come, sit next to me." Seeing Tsurumi Hatsuyun walking towards this side, Tsurumi Yanqiu hurriedly asked the person sitting next to him to move away, making room for an empty seat, and waved his hand for her to sit next to him.

Countless servants of the Zhu family were carrying dishes and shuttling around the banquet. The aroma filled the air and made people drool. At this time, the dishes on the table had not yet been served and the people sitting at the table were chatting.

After Tsurumi Hatsuun sat down, Tsurumi Yanqiu immediately introduced her to those who didn't know her: "This is my niece, her name is Tsurumi Hatsuun."

"This is your niece. She's really pretty."

"That's right. My niece's biological mother was the most beautiful woman in Hengzhou in Daliang. How bad could her child be? She and her mother are cut from the same cloth. Lai Chuyun, you should call this girl Aunt Luo."

"Hello, Aunt Luo!"

"Hello, hello, this child, your voice is so sweet."

"And this one, her name is..."

"Just call me aunt."

"aunt."

"..." He Jian Yanqiu introduced several people that He Jian Chuyun didn't know, and her brows had already been frowned. She didn't like the feeling of greeting stranger relatives. Besides, these people were not really relatives. They were just some sisters that He Jian Yanqiu met in Jiangzhou City.

But even so, every time Tsurumi Yanqiu introduced someone, she would call them sweetly.

At this time, Zhu Yandong and Zhu Yanhan also came back one after another. Seeing this scene, the former lowered his head and did not speak, and no one knew what he was doing. Although the latter sat upright, he would cover his mouth and laugh from time to time when looking at He Jianchuyun.

It took a few minutes to barely get through. After He Jian Yan Qiu finished the introduction, he suddenly took out a gift box, gave it to He Jian Chu Yun, and said, "Yun Er, there was a new clothing store opened outside some time ago, right? It seems to be called Xiu Yun Fang. I think their clothes are pretty good, so I asked them to make a set for you. Open it and take a look. It's red, you should like it, but I don't know if it fits you."

"Ah?" He Jianchuyun was stunned and a little flustered: "Aunt, why are you...giving me clothes for no reason..."

"Keep it. You see, I've been busy with things outside, and I rarely go to Mingyan Courtyard to see you. Yun'er, you came to Jiangzhou and I should have taken good care of you, but you helped me so much. I feel really bad about it, so I want to give you something, but I don't know what to give you. Seeing that you like red clothes, I asked someone to order a set for you."

"It's okay, auntie. I'm already very grateful that you can take Chuyun in. No need to be so polite. Thank you...thank you, auntie..."

"Cousin, just keep it, we are all family, it would be a bit too distant to say thank you," Zhu Yanhan said. After he finished speaking, Zhu Yandong followed suit and said, "Chuyun, open it and take a look. If you don't like it, you can take it back and have it remade."

"Yeah." Perhaps Zhu Yanhan's words "we are all family" touched the softest spot in her heart, making her eyes misty. She nodded vigorously, responded, and opened the gift box. Inside was indeed a brightly colored red classical dress.

The soft and smooth silk material can make people imagine how delicate it feels just by looking at it. The exquisite double-breasted design, paired with flowing wide sleeves and a drifting long skirt, every detail of the tailoring reveals ingenuity.

At first sight, Tsurumi Hatsuun fell in love with this dress. Every detail on it showed how much effort the person who made the dress put into it. It would take at least a month or two to make it. It also indirectly showed that Tsurumi Yanqiu spent a lot of effort on this dress.

However, although it was just casual clothing, it was embroidered with lifelike flying swallows and peonies, and dotted with gold edges and silver threads, which added a sense of gorgeousness and dignity, making the clothes more solemn. It would be a bit too eye-catching if worn outside.

"Chuyun, what do you think?"

"Aunt, I like this dress very much!"

"As long as you like it." Hearing what He Jian Chu Yun said, He Jian Yan Qiu was obviously relieved: "Take it. Remember to try it on when you go back to see if it fits you."

"Yes, I will!" He Jianchuyun nodded, closed the gift box, and carefully put it into the storage space.

After that, the people sitting around the table just chatted casually while waiting for the dishes to be served.

After a while, Qu Xiangui, who was dressed in formal attire, didn't know how long he had been wandering in the Zhu family's reception courtyard. Finally, he saw He Jian Chuyun among the crowd. His eyes immediately lit up, and he rushed over with a few of his men.

"Miss Chu Yun! Miss Chu Yun!"

Hearing someone calling him, Tsurumi Hatsuyun quickly turned his head in confusion and looked in the direction where the voice came from. The voices of other people chatting suddenly stopped and they also looked over.

"Who is this?"

"My name is Qu Xiangui, and I am the leader of the Fuhu Hall of the Tiger Gang."

"Oh! It's Master Qu. Come on, take a seat."

"No need. We already have a place over there. The reason we come to disturb you is to deliver the things to Miss Chuyun on the orders of our gang leader." After dealing with Zhu Yandong, Qu Xiangui looked at He Jian Chuyun, and she immediately said, "Give it to me."

"Yes!"

Qu Xiangui took out a medium-sized box from the storage space and handed it over with both hands.

"What is it?" Zhu Yanhan looked at the box with curiosity on his face and asked Qu Xiangui.

"I'm sorry, Master Yanhan. The gang leader specifically asked his subordinates to give this to Miss Chuyun. As for what it is, we don't know either. Please don't be offended."

"It's so boring."

"Miss Chuyun, Master Yanhan, and Madam Zhu, the things have been delivered. I will take my leave now." "Wait..." Hejian Yanqiu wanted to ask something, but Qu Xiangui left immediately after he finished speaking, without staying for even a second. Helplessly, she only looked at Hejian Chuyun and asked, "What's in the box?"

"It's nothing. It's just a gift I prepared for my uncle. Your aunt will know what's inside in a while."

Seeing that He Jian Chu Yun didn't want to talk more, He Jian Yan Qiu didn't ask any more questions, but said helplessly: "You are not a guest, why do you have to prepare a gift?"

"Although I haven't met my uncle many times, I think that Chu Yun can stay in the Zhu Mansion with the approval of my uncle. Chu Yun can't lose the gift, don't you think so, aunt?"

"That's right. Anyway, everything is ready. You can hand it over to your uncle in person when the time comes. It will also make me, your aunt, proud."

"Uh-huh!"

"By the way, Yun'er, Qu Xiangui is here, but why hasn't the leader of the Tiger Gang shown up yet? You have a close relationship with the leader of the Tiger Gang, do you know if he's here?"

"He won't come, right?"

"Not coming? How can that be possible? I am actually very curious about him. He helped me so much. It would be a shame if I couldn't thank him in person."
"Don't take it to heart, Aunt. The leader of the Tiger Gang is very generous. He won't care about these things." He Jian Chu Yun said as she took He Jian Yan Qiu's arm and acted coquettishly.

In the consciousness space, Shen Yi heard her words and immediately refuted: "Damn you, old witch! Why do you represent me! I care! I care very much!"

"What do you care about? Do you think I should let you out so that my aunt can thank you in person?"

"I don't want your aunt to thank me, I want you to thank me!"

"How do you want me to thank you?"

"Can I touch your legs?"

After hearing what Shen Yi said, He Jianchuyun's eyes almost rolled up to the top of her head. Finally, she pursed her lips and simply ignored Shen Yi.

"By the way, who is the leader of the Tiger Gang? Chu Yun, how did you get to know him?"

"Aunt, I met the leader of the Tiger Gang when I was in Daliang."

"So early?"

"Yes, to be honest, I was able to come here from Daliang thanks to his help. But until now, I still don't know who he is or what he looks like. I have only heard his voice. I was surprised when I learned that he became the leader of the Tiger Gang in Jiangzhou."

"Is it a boy or a girl?"

"It should be... a man..."

"In my opinion, this gang leader is most likely interested in you, otherwise why would he help you so much? He even came all the way to Jiangzhou to chase you!"

"Hahaha! Cousin, you're not a child anymore. It's time for you to find someone to marry, hahaha!"

"Aunt, what are you talking about!" He Jian Chuyun's face turned red because of what He Jian Yanqiu said, and at the same time he glared at Zhu Yanhan who was making a fuss.

"Did you hear that, old witch? Your aunt said I'm interested in you~~"

"Shut up!" He shouted at Shen Yi in his heart. He Jian Chuyun's eyes turned and he thought of something. He said to He Jian Yanqiu, "Aunt, the leader of the Tiger Gang never shows his true face to people. When I talked to him in the past, I only heard his voice but never saw him. I think he might be a monster... or even a pig monster! He just sleeps and eats all day long!"

"Fuck you old witch!"

"You kid, he always helps you and helps your aunt. He is your benefactor anyway. How can you say that to him?"

"It was originally..."

While chatting and laughing with his aunt, Tsurumi Hatsuyun suddenly realized something and turned his head to the right in confusion. He saw a few people sitting at the banquet not far away. One of them was short and fat, staring straight at Tsurumi Hatsuyun.

It was impossible for He Jianchuyun and Shen Yi not to know this guy. As soon as she saw him, the smile on the old witch's face disappeared at an extremely fast speed.

"Xu Sihai..."

There were eight people sitting at Xu Sihai's table. Apart from him, the other seven were from the Xu family, just like him.

"Don't worry about him." He Jianchuyun shook his head slightly, quickly retracted his gaze, focused on his own table, and continued chatting and laughing with his aunt.

But no one knew what Xu Sihai was thinking. When he saw her looking away, he actually stood up and walked towards her.

When he came to Tsurumi Hatsuyun's side, he only heard him greet her with a smile: "Miss Hatsuyun, how are you?"

At the table, everyone's chatter was interrupted by his words, and many eyes, led by Zhu Yandong, turned to him.

"Master Xu Si, what are you doing here?" He Jian Yanqiu recognized Xu Sihai at once, frowned, and asked in a deep voice. The last time the Zhu family forced He Jian Chuyun to transfer the winery to the Xu family, it was Xu Sihai who was responsible. She has not forgotten it.

"Nothing special. Seeing Miss Chu Yun here, I stepped forward to say hello and have a chat."

"I think it's not necessary. The place is full. If you have anything to say, Master Xu Si can talk to you after the birthday banquet."

"Mrs. Zhu, Xu has no ill intentions. I just want to say a few words. It won't take much time. There's no need to bother."

He Jian Yan Qiu was silent and looked at He Jian Chu Yun, and she also looked at Xu Si Hai with a smile on her face, and said casually: "This Mr. Xu Si, why do I look unfamiliar?"

"Miss Chuyun, you are forgetful. It has only been over a month since I last met you. How could you forget me so quickly?"

"Okay, I remember now. If you have anything to say, please tell me, Master Xu Si."

"Since I took over the Luoxiangzui wine business, the numerous things involved are really distressing. Even I can't think of a suitable solution. I came to disturb you just to ask Miss Chuyun for advice. Is there any solution to this problem? Don't worry, if you are willing to solve my doubts, I promise that the Xu family will prepare a big gift and send it to you. The Xu family will also be friends with you forever. How do you think?"

"Sorry, there's nothing I can do. Master Xu Si, you've got the wrong person." He Jianchuyun was no fool. He knew that Xu Sihai was leaving a way out for himself. After all, if a fight broke out, no one knew how things would develop.

Things have come to this point, and they want me to compromise at the last minute just because of a blank check. How is that possible?

So she decisively refused.

After hearing her answer, Xu Sihai's eyes flashed with a barely perceptible coldness, but he still had a kind and friendly smile on his face, and said, "Since Miss Chuyun has no other choice, then I won't make it difficult for you. It's just that today is the birthday of the Patriarch of the Xu family, and the Xu family has specially arranged a big show for this. I hope Miss Chuyun will come and watch it, and don't leave too early."

"A big show? I'm looking forward to it. Yes! I'll watch it!"

"That's good. I'll take my leave now. Enjoy your meal, everyone."
