Cousin Salted Fish Dressed as a Heroine

Chapter 14 On the way to the banquet
The singing contest cannot be completed overnight, and Zhang Jiao is not in a hurry.Although she really wanted to go and see the scene.

After Zhou Bufan explained everything, he left with Zhang Jiao.

They have to go to a party in the evening, and now they have to go to the beauty salon to change their clothes.

This beauty salon is called Jiali, and as soon as you hear it, you know that it is exclusively for women.I heard that the boss behind the scenes was someone from the Banshan circle, but no one could tell who it was.

However, the main SPA in the hospital is indeed very effective.

After Zhang Jiao came out of the spa, she went into the VIP room to enjoy the gentle care techniques of the staff.

Before applying the essential oil, the staff helped Zhang Jiao massage first, and then poured a few drops of essential oil on her hands after her muscles relaxed, and helped her apply it meticulously.

Zhang Jiao was very comfortable with her eyes closed, feeling deeply in her heart, it's nice to have money.

After the oil was applied, the staff all exited the room.Firstly, it provides a quiet space for distinguished guests, and secondly, it allows time for the essential oils to work.

"How about women's money is easy to earn, we should have opened a beauty salon." Zhou Bufan muttered.

Recently, she has really experienced the feeling that every penny is about to break into flowers. Seeing the booming business of the beauty salon, she began to feel jealous.

Zhang Jiao complained, "Don't think that every time you come out, you don't spend money first. You only see money coming in from the beauty salon, why don't you see that it costs money everywhere."

Zhou Bufan, a greedy ghost, just started the TV station, so he started to think half-heartedly about the second business.

Don't be afraid of failing at both ends.

However, the owner of Jiali Beauty Salon is obviously a big spender, and the hospital provides customers with all kinds of services.

Not only the spa and skin care, but also clothing, makeup and hair, rich wives like to come here for consumption.Although it costs tens of thousands for a VIP membership card.

You must know that the average salary in Hong Kong City is only less than two thousand, and a membership card of tens of thousands is already a luxury that many people cannot afford.

Zhou Bufan pouted, and when her TV station became successful, she would also open a beauty salon for herself.

The clothing that Jiali provides to its distinguished guests are all big-name brands, and there are even many new models that have just been released.Zhang Jiao casually chose a black U-neck long skirt, and under the arrangement of the staff, she tied her hair into a bun, which was fixed with a clear hosta.

Zhou Bufan chose a red haute couture dress from Yiren Clothing, after all, his own brand.

She put on her makeup and walked out of the dressing room, only to see Zhang Jiao sitting on the sofa in the waiting room.

"You are so beautiful, I dare not stand by your side."

The long black dress contrasted sharply with Zhang Jiao's fair skin, making her look like she was glowing.

Zhou Bufan looked at his fair skin, and compared it with Zhang Jiao, his skin paled in an instant.Fortunately, she is confident, otherwise she would be ashamed to stand beside Zhang Jiao.

Zhang Jiao reluctantly put down the magazine in her hand, "If you blow too many rainbow farts, I won't believe it."

Every time Zhou Bufan would say this, before Zhang Jiao would be at a loss, thinking about how to comfort her.

Not anymore. As I get older, my skin becomes thicker.

Zhou Bufan shrugged, "Forget it if you don't believe me."

"Let's go, it's almost time." Zhang Jiao saw her neatly dressed and urged her.

Zhou Bufan nodded, and walked out with her arm.

The two of them sat down, and Zhou Bufan suddenly said with a hint of self-deprecation: "Hey, do you think we two are the legendary villains?"

"Obviously, I have dresses sent by brands and my own makeup artist, but I still spend money to buy clothes and make-up in Jiali." Especially she herself, today she also spent money to buy her own clothes.

Isn't this brain bubble?

Zhang Jiao glanced at her, "Didn't you say that their spa is super effective? Is it possible that you have come home and tossed around?"

In fact, she didn't care. At least today's massage made her feel that it was worth the money.Moreover, the makeup, hair, and dress are not expensive, so it’s not like I’m being taken advantage of.

Zhou Bufan touched his nose awkwardly, "Don't blame me all, it's obviously you who came late."

Zhang Jiao: "...Okay, that's because we have a problem with our brains, and we are full."

I really fell for this foolishness.

The banquet they were going to attend was organized by the Banshan Gu family.

The theme is the engagement banquet between Miss Gu's family and the second son of Lin's family.

Gu Lin's family is a wealthy family in the middle of the mountain, and now it can be regarded as a family alliance.

Zhang Jiao suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "The little grandson of the Gu family who was kidnapped last time could be the Gu family, right?"

Zhou Bufan looked at her in surprise, "You actually know this, I thought you didn't hear anything out of the window, and only read sage books!"

Zhang Jiao was ashamed, she had not read the books of sages.

"It's his family. Since you know this, you should also know that the kidnapped is the child of Mr. Gu's illegitimate son." Although it was a question, Zhou Bufan said it with certainty.

"Know better." My aunt mentioned it to her.

"The child's name is Gu Jue. Mr. Gu paid 100 million to redeem him. But the Gu family is not very happy about this incident."

Zhang Jiao: "Why? Didn't their family call the police at that time?"

Zhou Bufan pretended to be deep, "Isn't it because of money? The Gu family hasn't separated yet. Mr. Gu paid out such a large sum of money, wouldn't they be able to divide the family in the future? If you, Can you be happy?"

"Furthermore, the Gu family called the police after receiving the call from the kidnappers, but the kidnappers threatened not to call the police or else they would break up the dispute. Mr. Gu was reluctant to let his grandson get into trouble and did not want the police to intervene. He directly deducted 100 from his private account behind the back of the Gu family's group of people. Wan was given to the illegitimate son and asked to redeem him."

Zhang Jiao clicked her tongue, she was so rich that she didn't even take 100 million seriously.

Seeing her surprised, Zhou Bufan smiled and said, "It's not over yet. After the child was redeemed, the Gu family was arguing about dividing up the family. The illegitimate child was also arguing, and wanted to live in the Gu family's mansion. It was said that it was not safe outside, so he wanted to move in." Save your life in the middle of the mountain."

Zhang Jiao was amazed, "The matter of the big family is really hard to describe! If someone in the Gu family wants to take the opportunity to separate the family today, wouldn't it be a lot of fun?"

Zhou Bufan felt something in his heart, "Yeah, the big family is troublesome, you must choose a man with a simple family in the future."

Zhang Jiao curled her lips, she didn't want to marry, "I want to recruit a wife!"

Zhou Bufan laughed and praised her for her ambition.

Zhang Jiao snorted proudly and acquiesced. "But how do you know so clearly about the Gu family?"

Zhou Bufan was so angry that he grabbed her face and said gloomily, "Have you forgotten that Lin Fang, the eldest Shao Lin, and I are an unmarried couple?"

Zhang Jiao covered her pinched red face, and let out a long sigh, "No wonder you know so well? It turns out that Miss Gu is your future sister-in-law."

Zhou Bufan's eyebrows twitched, this person completely missed the point!
"Don't you feel guilty? I'm your best friend, and you can't remember who my fiance is!"

Zhang Jiao laughed, "Remember, Lin Fang. Doesn't this connect their relationship together?"

Besides, at your engagement party, didn’t I give you such a big piece of purple jade? How could you forget? "

She compared with her hands, and her tone was a little regretful.The emeralds she kept were not that big.

"Can't bear it?" Zhou Bufan's tone was cold, as if she would be smashed in the head as soon as she nodded.

Zhang Jiao shook her head repeatedly, "No, no, why would I give it to you if you couldn't bear it? I'm not stupid."

Although she loves money, she is not stingy at all when it comes to people who treat her sincerely.

Zhou Bufan snorted coldly, he believed it.

"When you go to the Gu family for the first time, be sure not to provoke the younger members of the Gu family. They are all very difficult to deal with. When you get there, just give them gifts and eat and drink."

Seeing that it was about to reach the middle of the mountain, Zhou Bufan thought that his good sister had never met the Gu family, so he gave her a vaccination.

Although he is not afraid of Gu's family, villains are difficult to deal with, there is no need to trouble himself, it is better to stay away from them.

"Don't worry, I promise I can do it!" Zhang Jiao saluted in a playful manner, and made a serious promise.

Zhou Bufan felt relieved about her. Zhang Jiao looked unattainable on the outside, but in fact she was a yin and yang king in front of acquaintances.And she never interacts with outsiders unless it offends her.

"It's just weird. Since my dad passed away, the Gu family hasn't sent me an invitation card, but this time they sent one out of nowhere."

Even Qi's mother couldn't help but be surprised when she brought the invitation to her.

Zhang Jiao couldn't figure out why his family suddenly wanted to contact her again, so she calmly took the invitation and went to find out.

"I don't know either. I've been busy with the TV station recently, and I don't care much about other things."

Even the incident with Zhang Jiao just now was taught to her by her mother last night.I was afraid that if I accidentally said the wrong thing, I would be involved in the troubles of the Gu family.

"When you get to the Gu family, you'll know." Zhang Jiao said confidently.

When the car drove to the middle of the mountain, Zhang Jiao picked up Zhiyuan who was waiting at the door of his house and continued on his way.

The Gu family's villa is further up the mountain, and it is rare to encounter it when it is not far away from the Zhang family.

However, Zhang Jiao didn't recognize most of the families in this mountain.In the past, except for the banquets at her own home and her aunt's home, she would not attend any other events.

After all, there is no contact with other people.

After growing up, Zhang Jiao collected all the properties of the Zhang family, and cut off many projects that required cooperation with people, and even less contact with these rich people.

In the eyes of these people in the middle of the mountain, this move is nothing more than the fact that the Zhang family has no support, and the family has declined, so they no longer care about the Zhang family, and hardly send her invitations.

After not appearing in front of people for a long time, she seemed more and more mysterious.

Of course, in the eyes of those people, her disappearance was due to the downfall of the Zhang family.

After Zhiyuan got into the car, Zhang Jiao held his chin and looked at it carefully for a long time, making Zhiyuan more nervous.

I saw him combing his hair back, wearing a well-fitting suit and bow tie, like an elegant little British gentleman.

If you ignore the uncomfortable movements of his hands, the image can be removed.

Zhang Jiao helped him straighten his tie in a funny manner, "Don't panic, we will come to your door with invitations and give gifts, and we won't ask him to do anything, so there is nothing to panic about."

Uncle Qi, who was today's driver, also encouraged Zhiyuan, "Master Zhiyuan has a good character, who wouldn't like him? Just follow the lady to meet the new ones, our Zhang family are not afraid of trouble."

"That's right, Zhiyuan looks really handsome in what he wore today!" Zhou Bufan agreed, giving him a thumbs up.

Under the comfort of everyone, Zhiyuan gradually relaxed.

He didn't want to come originally. He hadn't attended the banquet since the separation, and he didn't understand many of the rules.He was afraid that he would embarrass his sister when he came.

But my sister said that he was a member of the Zhang family, and the Zhang family was invited, so he couldn't go.

So he came.

The Gu family's mansion is not in the same style as the Zhang family's. The layout is more like a courtyard house in old Peking, or a luxurious and advanced version of the five-entry courtyard.

Compared with the prince's mansion in the previous dynasty, it is elegant and elegant without losing style.The pavilions, terraces, pavilions, gardens and rockery in the courtyard are full of luxury.

This is Zhang Jiao's first visit to the Gu family.

At the first sight, she fell in love with the Gu family's mansion, the antique charm really poked her heart.

When she has the opportunity, she will also build a courtyard house, and put it there to watch!
Before entering the banquet hall, Zhang Jiao asked Qi Bo to register the gifts he brought, while she and Zhou Bufan brought Zhiyuan in.

As soon as Zhang Jiao entered the door of the banquet hall, Zhang Jiao saw the dignified aunt in the center of the hall, standing side by side with his uncle and communicating with others.

She didn't go forward to say hello, but she winked at Chu Yan who was distracted behind them.

Mr. Gu hadn't appeared yet, only his sons were greeting the guests in the hall.Zhang Jiao didn't talk to her, she thought it would be good to just stay in her comfort zone.

Anyway, there is no need to communicate with them, even if she is curious about why the Gu family invited her.

What's more, those business people who were drinking and drinking, where did they come to congratulate Miss Gu on her engagement? Most of them were discussing cooperation through the engagement banquet.

She had nothing to discuss about cooperation, so she naturally stayed aside and took the time to prepare for retreat.

Zhou Bufan told Zhang Jiao a few more words and then left. She had to meet her father to meet her family friends.Besides, her TV station has just started, and it is time to make customers.

If she wants to make a TV series in the future, she must have some big bosses to invest in her. She has to make preparations now.

Naturally, we can't escape like Zhang Jiao.

After she left, Zhang Jiao handed Zhiyuan a plate, "You're welcome, just take whatever you want, and we'll go back when it's almost time."

Zhiyuan took it uneasily, "Sister, don't we need to toast with someone?"

He was young and didn't understand much, he just felt that those guests were holding wine glasses in their hands, and clinking glasses with others for a sip from time to time was the correct way to start a banquet.

He wondered if the siblings should be more gregarious.

Zhang Jiao was amused by him and explained to him, "No need, they are all here to make business partners, let's just take care of ourselves."

Zhiyuan patted his head in embarrassment, and wanted to ask if his sister also had a lot of property?Why not make friends?
Before he could speak, he was interrupted by a harsh remark.

"No, those are all distinguished guests of the Gu family, and they are not just people from the outside world who can talk to them casually."

Zhang Jiao turned around and looked over. A young girl in a pink tutu skirt was staring at them with disdain.

Whoa!This is how the villain in the novel appears.

Zhang Jiao was a little speechless, "Zhiyuan, my sister taught you one thing, don't interrupt others when you are out of the house, it is very impolite and uneducated."

Zhiyuan nodded cooperatively, "I know, sister. Grandma taught me when I was young."

Zhang Jiao suppressed a laugh, was she mocking the lady in the tutu skirt because she had no one to teach her when she was a child?
I don't know whether Zhiyuan did it on purpose or not, but in short, he cooperated very well with her.

Especially annoying.

"What are you talking about? You are uneducated and rude. Am I wrong? Who are you? You still want to toast others and discuss cooperation? It's just a dream."

Zhang Jiao turned cold, "Little girl, don't be so uneducated. Whether I want to toast and discuss cooperation, whether I will be rejected or even humiliated, that is all my business.

Do you live by the sea?Why do you care so much, besides, is it the education of a wealthy family to interrupt and insult others at will?If this is the case, I think this store will go bankrupt sooner or later! "

Zhang Jiao's output was crackling, without stuttering.

"You!" The lady in the tutu skirt pointed at Zhang Jiao furiously, her hands were shaking with anger.

"Me? I'm fine." Zhang Jiao gave her a meaningful look, "It's you, seeing your hands shaking like this, don't you have some serious illness?"

The wives onlookers couldn't help laughing, and this kind of mockery made the lady in the tutu skirt even more angry.

"Oh, I'm shaking even more. What a pity, you're still so young..."

Zhang Jiao only said half of what she said, but the meaning was obvious.

"What's your name? Just wait for me! Let me see how I deal with you!" Miss Tutu couldn't say no, and started threatening.

Zhang Jiao raised her eyebrows provocatively, "My surname is Zhang, and my name is Zhang Jiao. I'll be waiting for you here. How do you want to deal with me?"

Counseling, her surname is not Zhang!snort!
The lady in the tutu couldn't think of how to get back, stomped her feet angrily, turned around and ran away.

The wives who came to watch the excitement, seeing that they had dispersed so quickly, looked at her fleeing back in disappointment, curled their lips and scattered.

Today's young ladies are so stupid that they don't even have half of the charm they had when they were young.

Zhang Jiao had noticed these idle and boring wives a long time ago. Although she didn't like being treated as a monkey show, she didn't say anything bad.

Seeing that everyone around her had dispersed, she continued to eat with Zhiyuan, but she saw him looking at her with admiration.

Zhang Jiao: "..."
