Xie Yanci Was the Most Hateful Person!

Xie Yanci did not want to concern himself with such trivial matters, but Xu Shi was his wife. As his husband, he ought to show concern.

If Xu Shi was willing to act cute and beg him, that was.

"No need."

Xu Shi refused mercilessly.

Don't even think about making me beg.

Don't even think about making me kiss you.

Scheming bastard!

Xie Yanci tilted his head back against the seat, a few soft chuckles escaping his thin lips.

His wife was not as easy to fool as he had imagined.

Trending topics appeared one after another, and insults were faintly visible on the rapidly refreshing screen.

"Who is he? What gives him the right to walk the red carpet with Wen Yu?"

"He knew perfectly well that Wen Yu was the brand ambassador, yet he still wore clothes from the same brand. He really knows how to leech off someone else's popularity."

"Just a passerby here, but Wen Yu is a top star, after all. How does he have the nerve to compete with him for the same role?"

"Am I the only one who thinks he's pretty good-looking?"

Xu Shi: "!"

He had finally found someone with taste.

He tapped on the tens of thousands of replies beneath that comment.

"..."

Better close it.

Xu Shi quietly gave that person a like with his alternate account.

"Hey." Xiao Chi called again. "Our negative trending topics have taken over the top ten. This is getting a little too big..."

Xiao Chi had gone to the company's PR department overnight, but his words carried little weight, and no one paid him any attention.

All he got was: "Bad publicity is still publicity."

But too many negative trending topics would seriously damage Xu Shi's reputation. He still wanted to accompany Xu Shi all the way to the top without any stains on his name.

"I'll think of something else," Xu Shi said.

Xiao Chi hesitated. After struggling for a long time, he cautiously said, "Brother, why don't you ask President Xie for help?"

The call was on speaker, and Xie Yanci, who was unhurriedly straightening his clothes beside him, took in every word.

"I..." Xu Shi hesitated.

He had always been somewhat proud in front of Xie Yanci. Even if he begged, it would be for major opportunities. Something this minor was not worth using his looks for.

He could just take a few insults. He felt it was not beyond what he could endure.

"Forget it..."

Before he finished, Xie Yanci interrupted him and instructed Secretary Zhou in the front seat, "Have the PR manager work overtime to handle it."

Secretary Zhou nodded. "Yes, President Xie."

Xu Shi: "?"

After considering for a few seconds, Xie Yanci added, "Find out who's behind it."

He had heard that this omega named Wen Yu had been targeting his wife.

Secretary Zhou nodded. "Understood."

Xu Shi: "?"

I don't have to beg?

Xie Yanci had been strange lately.

Xu Shi turned his head blankly and stared at Xie Yanci, whose expression gave nothing away.

He reached out and quietly hooked Xie Yanci's little finger. "Why are you helping me?"

Actually, Xie Yanci was quite a good person. Though he sometimes liked to act cold and aloof, the things he did were all quiet expressions of concern.

Xu Shi felt a little touched.

Xie Yanci showed little reaction, merely reminding him coldly, "I simply don't want my wife's poor reputation to affect the Xie Family's standing."

Xu Shi: "..."

Get lost.

Get as far away as you can.

Who exactly had said Xie Yanci was a good person?

He knew it. Capitalists only cared about their own interests.

Xu Shi rolled his eyes at him and said through gritted teeth, "President Xie, thank you so much for putting up with me all this time."

He withdrew his hand and put some distance between himself and Xie Yanci. "But don't worry. We're getting divorced in three months, so you won't have to put up with me much longer."

Get lost!

If I say another nice word about a certain someone, I'm a dog!

Xie Yanci said nothing more. Divorce was inevitable, and all he felt toward Xu Shi was the courtesy owed in an arranged marriage.

No amount of explanation could change the fact that they would divorce.

Xu Shi did not return to the villa with Xie Yanci. He left midway and went back to the small apartment he had bought downtown.

Xie Yanci is the most hateful person.

If I die, I'm taking you with me!

Don't even think about being all lovey-dovey with the protagonist shou behind my back.

Xu Shi found a Witchcraft Master online and placed a hundred "Life-Taking Orders" on Xie Yanci.

At one cent per order, they mainly served to vent his anger.

After exiting, he switched back to the trending page for another look.

All the negative trending topics about him had disappeared. The person in charge of the red carpet and the host had both come forward to apologize, drawing all the fire from Wen Yu's fans.

Only half an hour had passed.

The Xie Corporation's PR department was certainly efficient.

Xu Shi let out a long sigh of relief. He was just about to take a shower when Secretary Zhou suddenly called.

Xu Shi answered. "Hello?"

Is a certain someone here to apologize?

I'm not forgiving him.

Hurry up and say something to sweet-talk me.

Secretary Zhou's respectful voice came from the other end. "Sir, we've identified the person behind this. It was Lin Yuxiang."

My stepmother?

Xu Shi had cut ties with the Xu family at sixteen.

Xie Yanci had paid all his living expenses afterward, and had even returned to the country to handle things whenever he got into trouble. Technically speaking, Xie Yanci had actually been his guardian at the time.

After getting married, he had had no contact with that mistress and her son.

What exactly do these people want?

Who did I offend?

Was it because he was a vicious cannon-fodder character that everyone could take a turn bullying him?

Xu Shi was so angry he was speechless. "Got it. Thank you."

After a moment's thought, he asked, "What about Xie Yanci?"

Say you're sorry, and I'll forgive you.

"Uh..."

Secretary Zhou glanced back at his boss, who was still discussing suing the detractors with a lawyer, and did not know how to answer for a moment.

The call was on speaker. If President Xie wanted his wife to know, he would speak up himself.

Since he was saying nothing, Secretary Zhou could not say too much either. "President Xie is still handling some matters."

The call was hung up as soon as he finished speaking.

Secretary Zhou: "..."

This is too much!

Too much!

Too much!

Xu Shi pounded the pillow like mad.

Xie Yanci is the person I hate most in this life!

All he does is give me the silent treatment and say nasty things to upset me!

Xu Shi wiped away his tears and lay on the sofa.

He could not understand what was wrong with him.

Xie Yanci had always been like this, and he had known that long ago. Why did he expect even a trace of tenderness or favoritism from him?

It had been a loveless arranged marriage to begin with.

"Ring-"

A phone rang.

Xu Shi glanced at it. The number was not saved. He casually answered. "Who is this?"

An unfamiliar man's voice came from the other end. "Xiao Shi, tomorrow is your mother's birthday. She specifically said she wanted you to come home for a meal."

His mother? Lin Yuxiang?

Xu Shi scoffed. "My mom died ages ago. Ask her when she's going to die."

With that, Xu Shi hung up.

As a vicious cannon-fodder character, he felt no attachment to his relatives in this world.

But thinking about it carefully, since he was already vicious cannon fodder, why not teach every one of them a lesson?

Everyone who's bullied me deserves to die!

With that thought, he sent a text to the number that had just called:

I'll go ^_^
