“Lele, I’m afraid I won’t be able to do what you asked me to do.”
Han Lele was anxious when he received a call from his friend, “Wait, why?”
He had promised Yu Antong that he would help his roommate.
The friend said: “All the famous account holders in our company have received news that they are not allowed to repost any content related to this matter, saying that they want to suppress the matter. I inquired about it, and it was an order from Mr. Qi himself. “
Han Lele: “Mr. Qi… you mean Qi Jingyao?”
The friend: “Yes, Lele, do you still know our president? I don’t know what background the person in the video is, but our president spoke directly.”
“No, I don’t know him personally,” Han Lele lied, “Okay, I understand the matter now. You don’t need to worry about it. Thank you for your help, I will treat you to dinner some other day.”
“You’re welcome.”
After hanging up the call with his friend, Han Lele pouted and flipped through the address book. He stopped when spotted Qi Jingyao’s number.
After a brief moment of hesitation, he dialed the number.
The call was connected quickly, and Qi Jingyao’s cynical voice came.
“Hey this little friend of mine, did you finally remember to call your Qi-gege?”
Han Lele wanted to explode when he heard Qi Jingyao’s condescending flirty tone, “You are so annoying!”
Qi Jingyao laughed, “And yet, you still call me.”
Han Lele ignored that taunt, “I have something to ask. Why did you give the order to suppress Yu Antong’s hot search? What is your relationship with him? How do you know him?”
Qi Jingyao shit-eating grin was visibly heard over the phone. “Are you jealous?”
Han Lele: “…”
Meanwhile…
Yu Antong was almost pissed off by Xing Lixuan’s self-assertive move.
“Argghh! Can you at least ask my opinion first? I planned to stir up the public opinion to I can use them to guilt that surnamed Yu to give my inheritance back! Can you cancel this movement if you asked that person1clarification: Qi Jingyao, but Yu Antong didn’t know who Xing Lixuan asked to suppress the matter. to stop? Hurry, hurry, cancel it quickly!”
“Don’t worry about this.” Xing Lixuan disagreed with Yu Antong’s handling method. His inheritance money might be returned, but that meant allowing Yu Antong to be bashed by the netizens.
“This is slaying 1000 enemies’ soldiers at the cost of sacrificing 800 of yours2idiom: 伤敌一千，自损八百; it means “a reckless move” – it’s effective, but the side-effects are too great..”
“You can say that because you are powerful. You have the means to not take this level of risk.” Yu Antong snorted, “Look at me: I’m alone, helpless, powerless, what else can I do? This is the most effective way I can think of.”
They were two people with different lives and upbringings. Naturally, they had different worldviews.
As Yu Antong spoke, a trace of sourness spread to his heart. He was a transmigrated person. He could only face things alone, by himself. All of “Yu Antong’s” acquaintances, families, colleagues… weren’t “his”. They might be one day, but for now, he still needed to get to know them first. No one knew where “he” came from, and “he” didn’t know where “he” was going.
When this thought was put on the back of his mind, it didn’t bother him. But now… it choked up his throat and made his heart hurt. It became too much to bear, and it made Yu Antong hug his knees with a sullen expression.
Seeing Yu Antong, who was always in high spirits and full of vitality, showed a rare low mood, an inexplicable sense of irritability wrapped around Xing Lixuan’s frosty heart.
“…” Xing Lixuan initially didn’t know what to say. He took a deep breath and had to carefully construct his words. “Why don’t you tell me that? I can ask my lawyer team to help you.”
Although he had no real relationship with Yu Antong, he was still his legal spouse even just in name only. Naturally, he would defend Yu Antong in the courtroom. He wouldn’t let outsiders bully him.
“Didn’t you quarrel with me before? Of course I wouldn’t ask you!”
Thankfully, Yu Antong was resilient. After that short period of gloominess, he could bounce back quickly.
He psyched himself. God let him have a healthy body in this second life. This was a precious second chance he mustn’t waste. No matter how long he could live this “life”, he should strive for the maximum amount of happiness. He didn’t want to waste time scrutinizing things too far – that only made him question things and he would inevitably get sad.
Xing Lixuan heaved a sigh of relief seeing Yu Antong’s cloudy mood turn to sunny. He was afraid that this would cause another trouble with him again.
For some reason, Xing Lixuan thought of his second uncle who was notoriously afraid of his wife for a moment.
Unable to resist reaching out and rubbing Yu Antong’s head, Xing Lixuan said, “Come to me if you need anything in the future.”
Yu Antong moved a bit and nestled in Xing Lixuan’s arms.
His smelly husband… was not too bad.
Yu Antong became no longer sleepy. He decided to waste time by swiping through Weibo.
“Hey! Xing Lixuan, the person that helped you is quite unreliable. Look, I’m still on the hot search.”
It seemed the world was favorable to Yu Antong. Just as he wished, things began to reverse.
<Upright Fact-Checker V>//@<Handsome Guys Appreciation V>: This video is not staged. According to a rich second-generation friend, the middle-aged man in the video is the boss of Yu Group. If you aren’t familiar with them, just know that it’s headed by the rich Yu family of City A. In the original video, the young master is most likely to be the nephew of President Yu.
[Wow! A counterattack!]
[Ohh, no wonder I thought that the xiao gege in the video has a noble-like temperament. I didn’t dare to say this before because I was afraid of being bashed. But who knows that I was right all along!]
[Yeah, I agree. That kind of temperament must be the result of growing up in such a rich family. It’s not something that can easily be copied.]
[I Baidu search for President Yu. It’s really the same man, look. (picture)]
[@<Baifang House3Hanzi: 百方斋 “bǎi fāng zhāi”; the name of Yu family’s catering main company.> Shitty uncle, come out here and taste my fist!]
[@<Baifang House> I know you are lurking here. Don’t pretend to be dead, hurry up and come out! Pay back the money!]
[Unscrupulous boss Yu Qingnian, quickly pay back my boyfriend’s4not really the commenter’s boyfriend. The commenter is just a boyfriend/girlfriend fan. money!]
[Upstairs5previous commenter pay attention to the way you address my husband. Anyways, he said he wanted his inheritance back to spoil me~]
[You are all greedy for my xiao gege’s money! You are lowly bunch of gold diggers! I’m built different, I am greedy for his body~]
[You all get out of MY way. Xiao gege’s money and body are all mine!]
What Xing Lixuan didn’t know was that Qi Jingyao valued boyfriend over brother, so he betrayed Xing Lixuan behind his back, and still made Yu Antong on the hot search again.
Yu Antong poked Xing Lixuan with an arrogant tone, “See, I don’t need your help~ I can ask for the money back on my own. How could it be so cool to slap them in the face directly? Anyone who dares to bully me, I will slap them nicely!”
Seeing Yu Antong’s chin raised with cute arrogant look, Xing Lixuan smiled. Perhaps, Yu Antong’s approach was the most correct. It was his subconscious prejudice against Yu Antong that affected him at the beginning, making him devalue his nominal wife’s opinion. Next time, he should learn from this and not be rash in evaluating others.
He squeezed the chin of this arrogant little peacock, and said with a smile, “Yes, yes. You are the most powerful. Who would dare to bully you?”
There was a touch of gentleness and a hint of indulgence in his tone. Not that Xing Lixuan himself was aware of this.
Yu Antong was happy. Heh, even his smelly husband agreed with him!
Then, he called his lawyer again. He asked his lawyer to use the pressure of public opinion to attack Yu Qingnian quickly. Finishing that, he went to bed with a satisfied smile.
