Chapter 16 Gossip, It Doesn't Seem Real
chapter 16
Meng Youcheng didn't want to go to the company today...
But since it was still early and I was genuinely worried about whether the two of them had had any conflict, I ultimately decided to go to the company to check.
It's a good thing that Xu Zaixing is willing to help me.
Because this matter will be much easier for him, and with his help, it will definitely go much more smoothly.
However, there was one thing he didn't understand...
According to his stereotypes about TV dramas, shouldn't the second male lead be the one to steal the female lead's heart?
Does the second male lead in BL novels have almost no role?
He smiled and shook his head...
At least it's a good thing; he really couldn't bear to hurt such an adorable little rabbit as Xu Zaixing...
Upon arriving at the company, he didn't rush inside, but instead looked around from the outside...
Fortunately, I wasn't there, so those two didn't have a fight.
Mo Chengyu remained seated, quietly working on his design drafts...
As for Gu Jingyun, he didn't see him; perhaps he was in his office.
The other employees, however, gathered around, listening to Sister Wang gossip...
It's an old problem: the moment you mention drawing design drafts, everyone loses their energy; but the moment you mention gossip, everyone becomes eager to try.
Just as the man was about to leave, Sister Wang said, "I'm telling you, this concerns Xu Zaixing of the Xu Group. You absolutely mustn't leak this!"
Meng Youcheng stopped in his tracks and frowned...
Employee A: "We promise not to leak anything, just tell us quickly..."
Sister Wang: "Do you know why Xu Zaiya's order ended up in our hands? This order originally belonged to H Group, to their traditional Chinese wedding design department..."
"It's because there's a part of their wedding where they pay respects to their parents, but the Xu family doesn't have parents, so they should be paying respects to Mr. Lin's parents. When Xu Zaixing found out, he refused on his own and changed it to our side..."
Employee A was immediately puzzled. "Why is that?"
"You probably don't know this, because Mr. Lin married into the family!"
Employee B was immediately puzzled. "How is this possible? Although the Xu family is a business tycoon, Mr. Lin is also a business genius, and his family is very wealthy. Why would he marry into the Xu family?"
"Because of Xu Zaixing...!"
Sister Wang became more and more excited as she spoke, "Because Miss Xu really liked Mr. Lin, and it's said that Mr. Lin didn't want to marry into the family, so the marriage was about to fall through. Then Xu Zaixing found some dirt on him, and he had no choice but to be forced into the marriage..."
Employee A's expression was extremely exaggerated: "This...this is that awesome?"
"What's so special about this? Have you guys even looked at financial news from six years ago?"
Sister Wang continued, "That year, Xu Zaixing was 18 years old. His parents died in a car accident, and then his uncles and aunts forced him to divide the family property. It is said that it was particularly cruel at the time, and they forced him to sign the papers..."
"In just one year, Xu Zaixing regained everything he had lost. Not only that, the hot news headline at the time was, 'Young Master Xu uses one contract to manipulate six elders of the Xu family!'"
"His nickname is 'Master Xing'!"
"Is he that good?"
Sister Wang: "That's right...!"
Listening to their conversation...
Meng Youcheng sneered, did not interrupt them, and chose to leave.
Is the Xu Zaixing they're talking about the same Xu Shao Nian he knows?
They're completely different!
With Xu Shao's appearance, how could he possibly be a treacherous and cunning person?
Moreover, the other party is so gentle and helpful, how could they be like what they said?
I don't know where they found these gossip stories, their authenticity is probably 0.01%.
I wonder if the young man Xu is aware of his reputation outside, which is so great that he is famous far and wide?
He's clearly just a dull, simple-minded boy...
The man smiled, took the bus, and went home.
……
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Meng Youcheng's heart calmed down considerably...
He knew that his heart was able to calm down mostly because of Xu Zaixing's help.
Suddenly, the man became curious about the other person's purpose in appearing...
Perhaps the system realized it was too stupid, so it specially arranged for this kind-hearted boy.
The third day is the weekend, so there's no work.
Even on weekends, Mo Chengyu works from home. He's a complete workaholic, much better than his husband. He's a workaholic, while Gu Jingyun's mother is a complete madwoman!
Meng Youcheng wanted to leave, but naturally, he faced questioning from Mo Chengyu...
The reason she asked such detailed questions was because she was afraid he would start dating before her...
Men have these little thoughts about their brothers.
Meng Youcheng naturally couldn't tell him the real purpose.
Instead, I told him that the doctor said he needed an IV drip because he wasn't feeling well...
Mo Chengyu: "Oh, then get lost..."
Just as the man was about to leave, the young man called out from behind, "You have to tell me if you're dating!"
Laugh to death...
Meng Youcheng can't even find a partner in real life, so how come he can find one after transmigrating into a book?
How is that possible?
What girl would be blind to fall for him?
The man sighed, took a bus, and arrived at the Xu family's house...
It's nine in the morning, a bit early, so I bought breakfast and just ate a few bites.
He didn't go in, but lingered at the entrance...
I wonder if Xu Zaixing has gotten up yet?
He said he's not going to work today?
I guess I'll sleep in.
Should we wait at the door until it's time to go in?
About ten minutes later, he suddenly noticed a very familiar figure in the distance...
The man walked rather slowly, shook his head, and seemed a little listless...
The more the man looked at it, the more familiar it seemed, and he stepped forward...
Isn't this Xu Zaixing?
The boy was still wearing a white shirt, with the top few buttons undone, and his hair was a little messy, giving him a strangely disheveled yet handsome look...
He walked rather slowly, shaking his head as if he hadn't fully woken up...
He suddenly looked up and his eyes met Meng Youcheng's...
"Brother, you..."
The boy frowned, pushed up his glasses, and said, "You're here so early?"
The man walked over and stood in front of him. "What are you doing outside? And you look so tired. Are you alright?"
Xu Zaixing maintained his smile, his canine tooth peeking out from his mouth. He shook his head. "It's nothing, just a morning run..."
He reeked of alcohol...
And judging from his appearance, it seems he hasn't slept all night...
Before the man could speak, the boy said, "Brother, come upstairs with me. I need to take a shower first before I can go with you to get your glasses changed..."
"How about we call it quits? You look pretty tired..."
"I'm fine, brother..."
The boy interrupted him, looked at him with deep affection, and then took a step forward...
The two stood close together, face to face. Meng Youcheng looked puzzled, while Xu Zaixing's cheeks were slightly flushed, his eyes filled with tenderness...
He leaned his head forward a little...
Swallowing hard, his Adam's apple bobbed up and down...
Just as the boy was about to move his head forward again, the man suddenly spoke, "What's wrong? Are you really okay?"
Xu Zaixing quickly turned around, a smile on his face revealing his canine teeth, "What could possibly be wrong with me?"
Then continue walking forward...
The man beside him wanted to say something, but hesitated and decided against it.
"Husband, why are you here so early today?"
The boy smiled and turned to look at him. "Did you miss me?"
Meng Youcheng smiled and said, "I guess so..."
Xu Zaixing's eyes immediately lit up. "Really?"
The man chuckled as he walked, saying, "Isn't that what everyone says? I often say it to my roommates too, it's just male flirting. But I haven't seen them in a long time, I wonder how they're doing?"
The light in the boy's eyes dimmed instantly. "Heh, yeah, just a little trick between straight men."
The man looked at him. "I've heard some rumors about you. Do you know what people are saying about you?"
The boy stopped, hesitated, and his smile froze for a few seconds before he continued walking...
He smiled again, revealing his canine teeth. "Right? One contract to manipulate all six veterans?"
"You know that?!"
The man hesitated before asking, "So, it's true?"
"Brother, what do you think? Do you think it's true?"
Xu Zaixing turned to look at him, his gaze burning like the sun, relentlessly scorching Meng Youcheng's skin...
Do you think it's true?
He repeated it again.
The man pondered for a moment, "I don't think so, really. It might be a little hurtful, but it really doesn't match your appearance. And after spending time with you these past few days, I don't feel like you're the kind of person who's very scheming..."
The boy smiled immediately...
"Does 'husband' mean he thinks I'm like a naive little rabbit? Pure and innocent, clueless and knowing nothing?"
"That's my feeling."
"Actually, that contract was only half true..."
As the boy climbed the stairs, he laughed and said, "Back then, our Xu family's business was doing poorly, and we needed to create some news. So my uncles decided to put on a show with me, just like what you saw, and in the end, we were..."
"That's how it is..."
Xu Zaixing smiled helplessly, "Because of this incident, everyone is hostile towards me, which has made it impossible for me to make a single friend. But thankfully, I have you..."
Upon hearing this, the man immediately believed it.
This innocent young man unexpectedly shoulders so much responsibility...
He's really brave; to fulfill his mission, he's willing to trample his own reputation underfoot...
"Brother Husband, can I ask you a question?"
The man looked at the boy and said, "Okay."
"Who told you this?"
The man hesitated for a long time, but remained silent.
Xu Zaixing laughed and said, "What's wrong, brother? Are you afraid that if I find out, you'll kill that person?"
