An Xinian no longer resented Xie Zhuzhou for playing him. The thought of Xie Zhuzhou expressionlessly gripping that person's neck like an invisible killing machine made his heart pound wildly, as if his whole body was screaming and telling him to stay away from that dangerous Xie Zhuzhou.
At that moment, his head felt numb and throbbing, and his arms were trembling slightly. If Xie Zhuzhou really did blow up the speaker, what was the difference between that and manually firing a bullet?!
Is this still within the realm of what a normal human being can achieve?
He's a staunch materialist! Now he's starting to question the meaning of life! Is this world even real?
Is Xie Zhuzhou really human?
Qin Fang's mind was filled with the image of Xie Zhuzhou lifting someone up with one hand. The other party was clearly expressionless, yet he had a sense of looking down on all living beings, as if his slender figure stood on a high position of decisive killing, making people involuntarily want to submit.
That's too strong...
Back when the other party was in the dating show, they could easily kick their hundreds of pounds of weight away. At that time, he thought that the other party's strength was just a flash in the pan. Who knew Xie Zhuzhou would secretly break a bone when he went back?
Thinking back to today, and recalling the harsh words I once uttered!
Qin Fang so embarrassed he wants to dig out the Mariana Trench. What did he do before?!
Slowly, his cheeks flushed, and he collapsed onto the sofa, his limbs trembling slightly. He muttered to himself, "Damn, it's good to be alive." As Qin Fang spoke, he buried his head in his arms, completely oblivious to where he was.
All I know is that I did something so embarrassing that I wanted to destroy the world.
What kind of imprisonment, solitary confinement, and whips are these for Xie Zhuzhou? It's not even certain who will be beaten.
How can he be so arrogant!
Ling Zhenyang was unaware that someone beside him was quietly breaking down. All he wanted to know was what the relationship was between Xie Zhuzhou and Chu Yanzhang, and why Xie Zhuzhou cared so much about the other person.
When the first ray of light shone on Xie Zhuzhou's head, the first thing he cared about was Chu Yanzhang, who was blindfolded.
He had seen Xie Zhuzhou's concerned gaze before; it was fake, devoid of any emotion, only showing admiration for his face.
Ling Zhenyang considered himself a person with a bad personality, selfish, gloomy, cold, and inconsiderate of others. Even so, Xie Zhuzhou was willing to stay by his side, and he thought it would always be like that.
At that time, although Xie Zhuzhou had no feelings for him, his concern for him was genuine and had become a habit.
He began to regret his actions, regretting his indifference towards Xie Zhuzhou and his neglect of him when he was sick.
Only after he noticed Xie Zhuzhou's gaze shift to someone else did he realize how much pain he was in.
How could he not be jealous of the blind Chu Yanzhang?
He was insanely jealous.
Unfortunately, he wouldn't be as persistent as Qin Fang, and he also knew that Xie Zhuzhou was not someone who could be easily manipulated.
He needs to consider this carefully.
Chu Yanzhang was nothing more than a homeless, blind man blacklisted by the industry; he was easy to deal with.
The three had different thoughts.
Qin Fang's mind was blank at this moment. He had just lowered his arm when he saw the two brothers, Ji Wangyun and Ji Wangyan, not far away, but he didn't see Xie Zhuzhou. He didn't know where Xie Zhuzhou had gone.
The birthday cake was supposed to be cut at 8:30, but it's almost 8 o'clock now, and Xie Zhuzhou is still nowhere to be seen.
Qin Fang up and walked towards Ji Wangyun.
The moment he saw Ji Wangyun, he felt like he'd forgotten something.
Faced with Wang Chen's repeated apologies, Ji Wangyun and Ji Wangyan neither said they forgave him nor refused to forgive him. Their expressions remained the same as usual, one unreadable and the other gloomy and somber.
Wang Chen was somewhat disappointed when the two did not respond, but it was also within his expectations.
Ji Wangyun and Ji Wangyan were never tolerant of others. Even when others knelt before them, they were unmoved, let alone when they begged them to let Wang Anning, who had offended the Ji Family today, go.
In the eyes of Ji Wangyan and Ji Wangyun, Wang Anning was probably already half dead.
After Wang Chen left, Ji Wangyun was about to turn and leave when he saw Qin Fang suddenly walk over. He raised an eyebrow, thinking that the other party had recognized him, but that was not the case.
Do you know where Xie Zhuzhou went?
Ji Wangyun squinted and smiled, "What? You want to challenge him to a fight? I heard he punched you and kicked you twice in the Love and Romance game."
Qin Fang's smile froze on his face. He wondered why Ji Wangyun seemed to dislike him when they had only just started talking.
"Yes..."
Suddenly, Ji Wangyun revealed a meaningful smile. He placed his left hand on Qin Fang's shoulder, patted him, and encouraged him in a gentle and clear voice. "Come on, I believe in you. One day you'll beat my little brother. Give him more challenges so he can get beaten up."
After saying that, Ji Wangyun gave a hearty laugh and then put his arm around Ji Wangyan's shoulder and left.
As Ji Wangyan passed by him, her cool eyes swept over him.
When Qin Fang met that familiar gaze, he was stunned for a moment. After realizing what was happening, he slowly clenched his teeth and clenched his fists. He understood that Ji Wangyan's gaze was the coldness and contempt of a superior towards a family that was inferior to them.
Ever since Qin Fang met Xie Zhuzhou, he had frequently received this kind of look from Xie Zhuzhou...
At that time, he thought Xie Zhuzhou just disliked him.
If the Qin Family were to face the Ji Family, it wouldn't be to say they had no chance of winning, but they would be on completely different levels. The Ji Family's power extends throughout the entire country, and if the Qin Family offends the Ji Family, they will only suffer.
He had been frantically studying the intricate relationships between wealthy and powerful families these past few days, and only learned about Xie Zhuzhou's status in the Ji Family yesterday.
He hadn't believed Xie Zhuzhou could be so favored before, but now it seemed Xie Zhuzhou's worth far exceeded his own.
The Ji Family's business empire is so vast that no other powerful family can easily shake it, let alone a mere Qin Family.
8:30
The grand banquet finally began.
The celebrities and elders of prominent families finally arrived, and Xie Zhuzhou slowly came downstairs, taking Chu Yanzhang with him. As long as his refreshing minty scent remained, Chu Yanzhang didn't need him to lead him.
Facing twice as many people as at six or seven o'clock, Xie Zhuzhou was no longer so nervous. The new host was very quick-witted and didn't need him to say much.
He thought that after the cake was opened, the gathering would end there, but then his Ji Wuwei over to him and said he would take him to meet people.
Xie Zhuzhou looked at his elder brother Ji Wangchen.
Ji Wangchen received his younger brother's signal from afar and gave him a look of agreement.
