"I don't need it for now. Deleting it would make me seem guilty, and explaining it would make me seem scared." Xie Zhuzhou was quite satisfied with his current reputation.
Are you really not angry?
"It's alright." No wonder the villains in novels are always being hunted down and never change their ways. Xie Zhuzhou now felt a little more empathetic; after all, this cheeky feeling was inexplicably quite satisfying.
Originally, it was just to avoid social interaction, but it ended up leading to a path of no return.
"Has Ji Wuwei out of the encirclement?"
Xie Zhuzhou doesn't care much about things online because he doesn't usually go to public places, so his haters can't possibly be stalking him every day.
He stopped paying attention to what was happening online. He remembered his father saying that morning that his uncle had been arrested and interrogated, that there had been a lot of trouble at the banquet that he didn't know about, and that someone had even tried to ambush him!
Xie Zhuzhou was still somewhat surprised that someone actually hated him to this extent. So far, he was only a bit sharp-tongued; these people were really petty.
Besides, he didn't cause any of this trouble himself; it was all others who provoked him. As for the things he said to those others, didn't they deserve what they got?
Yang Da called the team directly and quickly received a reply, " Ji Wuwei has been released. There were several third parties involved in the transaction, so there are no direct clues or evidence to suggest that Ji Wuwei was behind it."
This was to be expected, after all, someone as vicious as Ji Wuwei, who has lived to this day, would certainly not leave any trace of his actions.
Therefore, at most, he could be considered negligent in his duties throughout the entire banquet.
"Then let's wait for him to come."
Three days later
Xie Zhuzhou saw Ji Wuwei at home early in the morning.
At this moment, Ji Wuwei was wearing a light brown plaid suit and a coat, sitting in the tea area of their living room.
Ji Wuqiu sat in the main seat, while the guilty Ji Wuwei in the next lower seat, the atmosphere tense and frozen.
With Ji Wuqiu around, no matter how many bad ideas Ji Wuwei, they could only be suppressed at this moment, and dared not say anything out of turn.
Behind Xie Zhuzhou was Ji Wangyan. It was the weekend, and he had made plans to go rock climbing with his friends, but he suddenly remembered that there was an uninvited guest at his house.
"Get away, you little thing." Ji Wuwei hates dogs the most. He was bitten by dogs and cats when he was a child, and now he wants to poison them whenever he sees them.
Ji Wangyun's stupid dog was the same; it used to bark at him and bare its teeth whenever it saw him outside.
As expected, even a dog wouldn't be likable if it were from the eldest son's family.
Aolai was just strolling by when it was inexplicably Ji Wuwei, and it lowered its tail in grievance.
"Uncle, were you bitten by a dog when you were a child?"
Ji Wuwei's lips twitched, and his face suddenly turned ugly. "You investigated me?" Few people knew about this, not even his elder brother. How would Xie Zhuzhou know?
"There's no need to investigate this. It's obvious my uncle is universally disliked."
Xie Zhuzhou, in a languid tone, leisurely sat down next to Ji Wuqiu. His slender, fair fingers gently lifted the teapot and poured the pale green tea into a small, exquisite teacup, releasing a delicate aroma.
Ji Wuwei slightly, but could not lash out. Watching the two of them, a father and son, being so affectionate and filial, Ji Wangyan remained silent but also ignored him.
"Father, this tea smells like it's of the highest quality. Just as tea is divided into different grades, so too are people," Xie Zhuzhou suddenly said.
Ji Wuwei: "..." He could still endure it a little longer.
Ji Wuqiu, who had been wearing a stern face, immediately relaxed his brows and smiled when he saw his youngest son arrive. "So you were reading last night? You got up so late."
"I saw it." Of course not. He had already familiarized himself with the surrounding terrain by operating the drone last night.
The father and son acted as normal as any other father and son. As they spoke, Xie Zhuzhou extended his palm, and Aolai rested his head on his hand. He curled his fingers and scratched the dog's chin.
Just then, Zhuangzhuang, a very busy robot butler, came down from upstairs.
Its Zhuangzhuang little head scanned its surroundings, and when it spotted a suspicious person, it rolled over on its wheels.
Start using the garbage collection feature.
"Unknown organism and unknown waste detected. Zhuangzhuang suggests breaking them down and recycling them."
Ji Wuwei's chair was repeatedly bumped by Zhuangzhuang's shovel.
Xie Zhuzhou held the remote control button in his right pocket, a slight smile playing on his lips as he looked at the person opposite him whose mentality had been tormented to the extreme.
Ji Wuwei spewed at by a dog, mocked by Xie Zhuzhou, ignored by the father and son, and now he's being insulted by a robot.
His fists were clenched, his body trembled slightly, and anger almost drove him to madness.
"Brother, even if you don't like me, you don't have to insult me like this, do you?"
"You think too highly of yourself," Ji Wuqiu said calmly.
Upon hearing this, Ji Wuwei almost lost control of his expression. His lips twitched, and anger made his voice hoarse and unpleasant. "I'm sorry, elder brother, I was just overthinking things."
Xie Zhuzhou was surprised by Ji Wuwei's tolerance. How could he endure this? He had thought that the other party would be so angry that he would rush up and beat him up so that he could defend himself.
How boring. I thought Ji Wuwei would rush up like those newbies, but he disguised himself quite well.
As soon as Ji Wuwei finished speaking, Ji Wangyun came downstairs. Today, he was wearing fluffy dinosaur pajamas for home. When he saw his little brother and Aolai, he rushed up to them and hugged Aolai and gave him a bunch of kisses.
Aolai's tail wagged so happily it left afterimages.
" Aolai, you look so cute today." Ji Wangyun hugged the dog, seemingly unaware that Ji Wuwei.
After inhaling the dog's scent for a while, Ji Wangyun was fully recovered. He slowly stood up and suddenly said, "By the way, wasn't it said that a scoundrel snake would come to our door today?"
