Before Zu Qi could dial Xue Jue’s number, an angry Cui Junzhuo suddenly walked to the table like a gust of wind, picked up the kettle, poured some water, walked back and handed it to Zu Qi: “Here you go!”
“Thank you.” Zu Qi took the water glass with a smile.
Later, Zu Qi figured out a way to deal with Cui Junzhuo. Whenever Cui Junzhuo wanted to make things difficult for him, he would find an excuse to use Cui Junzhuo.
At first Cui Junzhuo was not willing to run errands for Zu Qi and showed a gloomy expression as if he wanted to eat Zu Qi alive. But in the blink of an eye, he would see Zu Qi picking up his cell phone claiming to be about to call Xue Jue. The next second Cui Junzhuo ran the errands faster than a rabbit.
After doing this again and again, Cui Junzhuo, who was frustrated many times, simply closed his mouth and concentrated on examining Zu Qi with a stinky face.
Zu Qi, who had been talked about for a long time, was finally able to calm down.
After this incident, Zu Qi suddenly realized that his impression in the hearts of Xue Jue’s relatives and friends must have hit rock bottom long ago. Even if those people didn’t know that the original owner drugged Xue Jue, they must still think that Zu Qi was a little star who worked hard to climb high by seducing Xue Jue.
It seemed like he should have less contact with those people in the future.
One or two Cui Junzhuo could barely be tolerated. If those people all had Cui Junzhuo’s character, even if Zu Qi really had nine lives, it won’t be enough for them.
Just after thinking this, Zu Qi, who was walking in front, opened the door and saw Weng Yuxiang’s well-maintained and smiling face.
“You finally came out. I wanted to go in to see you, but Xiao Jue said that there are differences between men and women and wouldn’t let me in.” Weng Yuxiang glared at Xue Jue as she spoke, and then eagerly took Zu Qi’s hand, “Let me see you quickly. Look, you’ve lost weight. Don’t be affected by those comments on the Internet, you kid. They are all unqualified people. We don’t need to care about them.”
Xue Jue next to him said expressionlessly: “Uncle Zhang said he has gained four kilograms.”
Zu Qi: “…Why does Butler Zhang even have to report this to you…”
Xue Jue asked, “Otherwise, what can I say? Should he say that you often coerce and induce Xiaoya to buy you roast goose?”
Zu Qi: “…”
“Can’t you say a few words less?” Weng Yuxiang turned to glance at her arrogant son with a sullen face. There was a look of warning in her eyes. When she turned back to face Zu Qi, it had turned into an amiable smile, “Are you hungry? Xiao Zhao has booked a restaurant, let’s go eat first.”
After saying that, Weng Yuxiang turned to look at Cui Junzhuo, who stood behind Zu Qi without saying a word.
“Xiao Zhuo, let’s go together. Since you came back from studying abroad, us aunt and nephew haven’t had a meal alone.”
“Since my aunt has spoken in person, I would obey her orders and be respectful.” Cui Junzhuo smiled, and he had returned to his previous behavior. He looked gentle and polite, as if his harshness just now was just Zu Qi’s illusion.
After handing over his work, Cui Junzhuo changed into a set of casual clothes. Like Xue Jue, he had a perfect clothes rack figure. No matter what he wore, he could make his clothes look extra appealing.
If he hadn’t seen his true face, the face-controlled Zu Qi would have been fooled by Cui Junzhuo’s appearance.
After Xiao Zhao made a reservation at the restaurant, he took a taxi with Butler Zhang and left.
Xue Jue drove the group of them to the restaurant. Cui Junzhuo sat in the passenger seat, while Zu Qi and Weng Yuxiang sat in the back seat.
Although Weng Yuxiang was over sixty, her skin condition did not look old showing long-term maintenance. Her beautiful facial features and gentle temperament also added a lot to her beauty.
With a mother like Weng Yuxiang who was so beautiful that her age could not be discerned, it was no wonder that Xue Jue’s external conditions were so excellent that he could not look ugly even if he wanted to.
After Zu Qi came to this world, he often received video calls from Weng Yuxiang. Perhaps life in the Xue family was too boring, so Weng Yuxiang liked chatting with Zu Qi very much and was often made to laugh by Zu Qi.
However, no matter how unhappy Weng Yuxiang was in the past, she would not show her emotions on her face, but now, there was a faint sadness visible between her brows.
Zu Qi saw all of Weng Yuxiang’s reaction. He guessed that Weng Yuxiang was worried, but he didn’t know how to comfort her.
Of course his comfort had no effect.
Fortunately, the distance from the hospital to the restaurant was short. After getting off the car, Weng Yuxiang seemed to notice something strange about herself and quickly straightened her expression. After a while, the sadness on her face disappeared without a trace.
Xiao Zhao had booked a high-end Chinese restaurant that only served VIP customers. It was a private room on the second floor. The tall and beautiful waitress led the four of them to the private room.
Before entering the box, Zu Qi suddenly felt an urgent need to urinate. After greeting Weng Yuxiang, he turned and walked towards the bathroom.
After taking a few steps, someone suddenly grabbed Zu Qi’s arm from behind.
Zu Qi turned his head and saw Xue Jue’s handsome face showing a slight frown. Xue Jue’s eyes swept over Zu Qi’s protruding belly, and then he warned: “Don’t walk too fast, be careful of falling.”
Zu Qi couldn’t laugh or cry: “Brother, I’m in a hurry.”
Xue Jue’s hand holding Zu Qi’s arm moved down a little, then he took Zu Qi’s hand and intertwined their fingers.
“It’s difficult for you to move, so I’ll go with you.” Xue Jue said.
Zu Qi was startled by Xue Jue’s inexplicable behavior. He was wondering if he had hit the wrong nerve. But in the blink of an eye, when he saw Weng Yuxiang looking at them with a smile, Zu Qi understood instantly.
There was still a full set of acting to be performed, so Zu Qi had no choice but to be led to the bathroom by Xue Jue like a child.
