No matter what the occasion was, the goddess's invitation was an extremely honorable thing.
If they did some other extracurricular activities after a drink, it would make people feel that no matter how much humiliation and censure they suffered today, it would be enough to make up for it.
Summer's behavior was undoubtedly a stab in the hearts of many men at the scene. It should be known that although some people were rich or noble, they were also Summer's fans …
Adversity shows true love!
Fang Yan had always had a good impression of Summer. He felt that she was a woman with ideals and loyalty, a very good choice for a friend.
That was all.
However, Summer's protection today really made him feel grateful from the bottom of his heart.
He was not a pure person, a person with interests. He did many things for other purposes, but Summer only had one purpose to protect him … She cared about him as a friend.
Now, the Swallow Dock team led by Fang Yan and Jiang Junling were divided into two phalanxes on the grounds of "personal safety". It was a critical and dangerous period when the contradiction broke out.
Summer did not stand on the side of Jiang Junling, who was of the same kind, but had always been on the side of Fang Yan. Although she did not stand up in public to refute or fight back against Jiang Junling's dissatisfaction, her inviting Fang Yan out for a drink was a kind of attitude.
She wanted to drag Fang Yan out of this quagmire.
Fang Yan turned to look at Summer and said with a smile, "Thank you for your kindness, Summer. Thank you very much. I know what you want to do, and I understand your intentions, but I can't promise you. As you can see, things have come to this point, I can't retreat. At least, I can't retreat now. "
Fang Yan patted Summer's arm, his eyes were gentle, and his expression was sincere. "Really, I'm really honored to have a friend like you."
Summer's lips moved slightly, and all that came out was a sigh.
She knew Fang Yan. If he didn't want to retreat, there must be a reason.
Fang Yan turned to Bruce Lee and asked, "Brother Xiaolong, do you have an invitation in your hand?"
"Yes." Bruce Lee took out a classical card from his pocket and said, "This is the invitation letter. It can also be used as an elevator access card."
"No name?" Fang Yan asked with a smile.
"The card is not signed," Bruce Lee said. "The outer packaging is signed. I threw the outer shell away. "
Fang Yan raised the light yellow card and said, "Can I borrow it?"
"Borrow?" Bruce Lee was stunned for a moment, then he grinned and said, "If it's useful … I don't mind."
"Thank you," Fang Yan said.
Therefore, Fang Yan walked to the General Token with the card in his hand and said, "Look, I have an invitation … Your card is the same, right? Or something more advanced? "
"That invitation letter isn't yours!" shouted General Yi Rong angrily. She was about to explode from anger because of Fang Yan. Originally, she thought that the matter could be solved with a few words, but this guy kept pestering her endlessly until now.
What did he want?
"It's in my hands. Why isn't it mine?" Fang Yan asked with a smile.
"I will ask the club to verify your identity."
"It doesn't matter," said Fang Yan. "The card is in my hands, so the invitation letter is mine … If it doesn't work, I can change my name to Bruce Lee. My idol is also called Bruce Lee. "
"You … shameless." General Yi Rong wanted to rush up and chop Fang Yan into pieces.
Ye Fengsheng laughed out loud and said, "That's right. Fang Yan has an invitation now. He's also a person of status. Some people can't drive him out. Brothers, are we going to be driven out?"
"Fang Yan should have done this a long time ago. Your serious look just now made us all very uncomfortable. Hello, Bruce Lee. Goodbye, Bruce Lee!" Zhu Zidan teased.
"I'm happy to see people we don't like unhappy. Who said that?"
Fang Yan borrowed Bruce Lee's invitation letter. It was the only invitation they had. In other words, only one of the eight people could stay.
Of course, Jiang Junling and the others only wanted to force Fang Yan out.
Jiang Junling stared at Fang Yan with burning eyes. He did not answer his question for a long time.
He suddenly had a feeling that danger was approaching. Perhaps he had made a serious mistake.
He stared at Fang Yan with a gloomy face and said, "I've investigated you. I know a little about you … I just don't understand. What other trump cards do you have? What's the point of your persistence? "
"I don't have any trump cards." Fang Yan said with a smile. "I just said, I'm just a nobody. I just try my best to spit on others when they step on me … I'm dirty, and so are you. It's embarrassing to say it, but there's really no better way. "
"If that's the case …" Jiang Junling's eyes narrowed slightly. "Why do you keep looking at the time? You've looked at the time five times since I came in. Two of them were the wristwatch of Miss Xia, who was closest to you. The other two were the wall clock of Starlight World … When you took the card from Bruce Lee's hand, you looked at the time on his wristwatch again … What are you waiting for? "
"…"
The luxurious European-style decoration and the gorgeous and complicated crystal lamps illuminated the room as if it were daytime.
On the wall of the room, there was a huge screen. On the screen was the scene of Fang Yan and Jiang Junling confronting each other in Starlight World of Maple Leaf Association.
The image of the big screen was excellent. The facial expressions and eye contact between Jiang Junling and Fang Yan could be clearly seen. Even the black hemorrhoid on Jiang Junling's face and the fluff on Fang Yan's face could be seen clearly.
A girl in a red dress stood in front of the big screen like a proud princess, watching her knights doing their best to kill each other for honor.
Noble, calm, calm, and sure.
A handsome man in a black suit stood beside her. Seeing a drop of sweat slowly flowing down Fang Yan's forehead, he said with a smile, "It seems that he's in a bad situation. Miss, do you want me to go out and help him?"
"No need," the girl said softly.
"What are we waiting for?"
"Waiting for the arrival of what he's been waiting for."
"What if he can't hold on?"
"He'll definitely hold on," the girl said in a very firm tone. "Because, I won't let him lose."
Swallow Dock. In the thatched hut.
An old man in a leather jacket was lying on a chair drinking yellow wine. Bai Xiuxiu was adding firewood that had been chopped long ago to the fire.
There was no heater in the old man's house. The weather was too cold, so a fire was needed to keep warm.
Under the light of the fire, the old man's face showed a soft golden color. His face was full of wrinkles and ditches. Who knew how much wind and rain and the past had been contained in it.
"Gulp, gulp …"
The old man drank a mouthful of yellow wine and handed over the wine pot in his hand. "Bai Xiuxiu, have a sip to warm up your body."
"No need," Bai Xiuxiu refused. "I'm not cold."
"Yes. You're not cold, "the old man said with emotion. "Young people are full of vigor."
Bai Xiuxiu glanced outside the door and looked at the dense crowd standing in the snow outside. "Sir, you have to say something. The Zhu family's Old Master has come out, the Li family's Old Master has come out, the Fang family's Old Master has been pushed over in a wheelchair … Ye family's Big Uncle Ye has also come … Everyone is standing at the door, waiting for you to say something."
But the sir didn't look outside, pretending that these people didn't exist. He scolded with a smile, "I'm standing here, not taking a step back … These monkeys, do they think this is an act?"
Bai Xiuxiu chuckled and said, "Isn't it an act?"
"Yes. Isn't it an act? "the sir said with a sigh. "You young people are unreconciled, unconvinced. You're all suppressing a burst of energy. You like crowds, you like to stand out. You don't want to fall behind. But in the end, it's just a temporary flourish. Isn't it better for us, the people of Swallow Dock, to live our days in peace and tranquility? "
"These monkeys came to Four Corner City, shouting and jumping, and even put on a show of facing death with equanimity. Didn't they want this old man to take a stand? Didn't this family's Old Master and that family's Grandma standing outside also come to force this old man to abdicate? "
"Who would've thought that the real battlefield of a few little monkeys in Yan Jing City would be here, in Swallow Dock?"
"Naturally, someone thought of it," Bai Xiu said.
"Yes. That kid from the Fang family must've thought of it. This show was directed by him, how could he not have thought of it? "The sir shook his head with a wry smile. "He came to me a few days ago, saying that we, Swallow Dock, have kept a low profile for hundreds of years, shouldn't it be high profile for once? I sang a verse from the 'Virtuous Works of Zengguang' for him … Who would've thought that in the blink of an eye, he would bring a bunch of kids to Yan Jing City to play this show for me. "
"Fine. They've already set up the stage in Yan Jing City, if I don't go up there and sing a song, it looks like I won't be able to fulfill their expectations … "
The sir stood up with the wine pot in his hands, walked to the corner, and took out a small golden key. He used the key to open a wooden box. Inside the box was a well-preserved wristband telephone.
He dialed a few numbers, and the phone was quickly picked up.
A man's dignified and respectful voice came from the phone, saying, "Sir, what can I do for you?"
"I didn't want to make this call, but I drank a few mouthfuls of yellow soup today. Listen to me for a while, and don't feel impatient. You run the country, and we protect it. I don't think that anyone is nobler than the other, just that we work harder than the other. "
"The ancestor of the Zhu family was a Hanlin, but when the Mutated Tribe invaded, the whole family fought against the enemy, and only one of the nine sons survived. The Li family's old grandmother, father, and brothers all died in that unknown local conflict. The Ye family's old grandmother's husband was the captain of the guards of the old chief, and he used his own chest to block two bullets for the old chief. The Fang family's Fang Huwei's father was an Apotheosis Realm Tai Chi master, and he died in the battle for the Dragon Qi between the East and the West. There's also Fang Huwei himself, who injured his legs when he accepted the challenge of the Western Red Devil, and became a cripple. "
"You're familiar with the 24 Histories, and you're even more familiar with modern history. There are some things I don't need to tell you, but there are some things I don't know that you know … The heroic souls of Swallow Dock will never die, and their loyalty will last forever. However, who would be willing to die for the country in the future after making the ancestors shed blood and tears? "
