Jian Huan was not a child who grew up in Jian's family. She had received that kind of male-dominated education since she was a child.
She was disgusted from the bottom of her heart when her fiancé slept with someone else, and there was no way she could ever flatter him again.
Yesterday's encounter with Lou Xiao was not only impulsive, but also hoping for an extra protective umbrella.
If something happened one day, Lou Xiao would be able to help her because of this romantic relationship.
Unexpectedly, this umbrella not only leaks from wind, but also from rain.
Thinking of the coat he left behind, Jian Huan was so angry that her heart, liver, spleen and lungs ached.
In the past six months, she has been imitating Miss Jian Si's words and deeds. She is afraid of making mistakes, talks little, and dares not even make a wrong look.
If she hadn't met Lou Xiao yesterday, she would have been prepared to hide in this fake shell for the rest of her life.
But Lou Xiao's appearance forcefully pulled her out of the turtle shell.
Taking a deep breath, Jian Huan sat up straight.
Even if you have to be a fake for the rest of your life, you can't let others take advantage of you.
It's just that Lou Xiao is too dangerous, so it's better not to provoke him again. Instead of borrowing his power for no reason, he made himself a mess.

Lou's Mansion
Jian Huan and several servants arranged the table and wine glasses.
Just as she was about to place a wide-mouthed cup on the main seat, a hand supported her.
"If you don't drink red wine today, you will be scolded if you place the Bordeaux glass."
Jian Huan looked up. The woman looked gentle and had a smile on her face, which made people feel close to her.
She introduced herself naturally, "I'm Yun Jing, just call me sister-in-law."
"Sister-in-law."
Yun Jing asked someone to bring a Louis XIII cup and placed it with Jian Huan.
During this period, Jian Huan felt a vague gaze, and when she looked up, she saw Jiang Ziying. She was holding Lou Jingyang's mother, her aunt Jiang Yalian, talking affectionately, and pointing in her direction from time to time.
Jian Huan suddenly remembered that when she went to get the cup, Jiang Ziying had just left the kitchen.
Ha, it seems that someone deliberately wanted to make her look embarrassed.
Yun Jing noticed her gaze and smiled, "Zi Ying has grown up with her fifth uncle and aunt since she was a child. Jing Yang also loves her as if she is her own sister."
The corners of Jian Huan's lips curled up. My dear sister, have you slept with your dear sister?
But there was no need to tell outsiders about these dirty things. She just smiled and continued to do things.
After everyone was seated, Mr. Lou was helped by the servants to sit on the main seat.
As soon as he sat down, the table fell silent.
He looked around, "Where's Lou Xiaoren?"
When Jian Huan heard Lou Xiao's name, she moved uncomfortably, causing Lou Jingyang to glare at him.
The man in the wheelchair on the right smiled and said, "There is no second brother we can call. Why don't you invite me yourself, grandpa?"
Mr. Lou's face instantly darkened, and there was a gloomy look in the corners of his drooped eyes.
"This evil obstacle."
As soon as he finished speaking, a joking voice immediately sounded.
"Hey, old man, talking behind someone's back can easily shorten your life."
Lou Xiao came in from outside the door. He was almost 1.9 meters tall and felt very oppressive.
At today's family dinner, everyone was cautious and tried to please Mr. Lou without leaving any trace.
Hearing this shocking sentence, Jian Huan, who had just taken a sip of water, choked.
Her suppressed coughs caused Lou Jingyang to be extremely dissatisfied.
He lowered his voice and said, "Why are you showing off!"
Just as Jian Huan took another sip of water, Lou Xiao carelessly opened the only empty chair.
Unlike everyone who was sitting upright, he tilted his head lazily, his eyes staying on Jian Huan who was trying to reduce his presence for a few seconds, and then turned back to Mr. Lou.
Mr. Lou's expression was extremely ugly. Everyone thought he was going to get angry, but he suppressed it again.
"Where did you go and come here so late?"
Lou Xiao picked up the wine on the table and took a sip, "Where have I been? Let me think about it."
His eyes passed over the man in the wheelchair opposite, "I just killed an unlucky man who betrayed me. He was ordered to spy on me, so I had to dig out his eyes. The dagger stabbed into his eye socket, and then turned around again, bleeding. It popped out and all my hands were wet..."
He gestured as he spoke, his eyes bloodthirsty.
"shut up!"
Mr. Lou scolded.
Everyone at the table had disgusted expressions, and the women covered their mouths with napkins, as if they wanted to vomit.
Lou Xiao's eyes were mocking. He didn't know how many dirty things he had done under his command, yet he still acted with such a compassionate look.
Among all the eyes that looked either with disdain or fear, there was only one pair of eyes that was calm and indifferent.
Lou Xiao looked at Jian Huan with interest and raised his glass to her.
He did it casually, and Jian Huan's hair stood up immediately after being admired.
The next second, everyone's eyes were focused in her direction, even Mr. Lou looked over.
Mr. Lou had a cold aura, and his gaze on Jian Huan seemed to be tangible, making her breathless.
Jian Huan's breathing stopped, and her heart beat against her chest, as if it was about to jump out of her throat.
Just when she was at a loss for words, Lou Jingyang stood up next to her, raised the cup tentatively, and showed a stiff and flattering smile.
"Second brother."
It's no wonder that Lou Jingyang misunderstood. Lou Xiao usually looked down on everyone, so how could he respect a woman from a wealthy family like Jian Huan?
What's more, in front of big families, a family like the Jian family, which relies on selling women to consolidate its position, is somewhat unpopular.
Lou Jingyang stood like this, directly blocking Lou Xiao's sight.
Lou Jingyang didn't dare to wait for Lou Xiao, so he raised his head and drank a drink.
Jian Huan hid behind and exhaled heavily, her chest already aching from holding back.
Just after taking a breath, Lou Xiao's voice sounded again, "Brother and sister, don't you recognize me?"
Jian Huan's heart stopped completely. She regretted that she had provoked the evil god Lou Xiao.
Unable to dodge, we could only stand up together, raise our glasses, and say in a dignified manner, "Second Master Lou."
Even Lou Jingyang was confused now. Does Jian Huan know Lou Xiao?
Even when Mr. Lou wanted to see Lou Xiao, he had to use a family dinner as an excuse. How could she have this ability?
Jian Huan faced the probing eyes from all directions and tried hard to look calm.
You must not feel guilty. The more guilty you are, the easier it will be for others to see something fishy.
What's more, the people on the table are all human beings. Even if a little crack is exposed, they can be picked and torn open.
Mr. Lou looked suspicious and asked Lou Xiao, "Do you know each other?"
Jian Huan did not dare to make unnecessary expressions. In order to maintain her composure, her knuckles turned white while holding the wine glass, and the narrow mouth of the glass was almost crushed by her.
If it were anyone else, she would naturally not be worried that the other party would tell their dirty stories.
But this was Lou Xiao, and the more things turned upside down, the happier he was.
Unfortunately, it was too late to regret it now. She could only pray in her heart that Lou Xiao could be a human being for once and leave her a way to survive.
