Zu Qi remembered that the original owner had followed Xue Jue’s Weibo, but he had been in this world for at least five months and he checked Weibo almost every day, but he had never seen Xue Jue’s updates.
Even when Xue Jue secretly dealt with the incident of Shi Hao and Tang Moning acting as monsters, Zu Qi didn’t see Xue Jue post a single word on Weibo.
The sun really came out from the west today…
Zu Qi thought strangely as he took out his mobile phone and opened Weibo. He clicked on the special attention that the original owner had previously classified and took a look at the first Weibo.
It was posted by Xue Jue. The Weibo content was very simple, with only the original emoticon of a pair of hands holding a heart, followed by photos of Xue Wanwan arranged in a nine-square grid.
Obviously, this was a Weibo post showing off the baby.
Judging from the time, it was posted an hour ago, but the number of comments and retweets had exceeded the 20,000 mark and was heading towards 30,000.
It had to be said that Xue Jue’s ability to bring popularity was worthy of his title of “national husband”.
Zu Qi clicked into the comment area and took a look. All the top comments were sighing – when their husband was single, they were single. When their husband was rumored to be having an affair, they were single. Now their husband’s son could come out to buy soy sauce, but they were still single. It made everyone sad when they heard it and they even shed tears when they saw it…
Zu Qi was speechless.
Where there were many people, there would be both right and wrong. After a while, Zu Qi saw several critical comments, saying that Xue Wanwan looked nothing like Xue Jue, but looked very much like Zu Qi, especially their eyebrows, which were exactly the same!
Zu Qi clicked on the photo above suspiciously, and then fell into an awkward silence.
Brother, this kid doesn’t even have eyebrows. How did you know that his eyebrows look like mine?
Of course, he just kept these words in his mind. Zu Qi was not so impulsive as to go to Xue Jue’s Weibo to argue with black fans. However, when he scrolled down to look at other people’s replies on the post, he found that those comments were missing.
They were probably deleted by Xue Jue.
Zu Qi was a little surprised. He thought that Xue Jue never cared about other people’s evaluation of them, let alone doing something like deleting comments. His thumb rubbed on the smooth screen twice, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
After reading Xue Jue’s Weibo, Xiao Dengzi curled his lips and said: “I’m afraid it won’t be long before Weibo will be plunged into a bloody storm again.”
Duan Kai said calmly: “Don’t waste the popularity that comes to your door.”
“That’s right.” Xiao Dengzi dragged his cheeks with mixed emotions and couldn’t help but sigh, “I didn’t expect that a person as high as Mr. Xue would one day become a slave.”
Zu Qi originally thought the counterargument after hearing this was that Xue Jue had posted a photo of Xue Wanwan just once today, probably because Xue Wanwan’s full moon banquet was being held tonight.
However, then he thought that Xue Jue had set Xue Wanwan’s artistic photo as a WeChat avatar more than a month ago.
He fell silent immediately.
He thought that the boss’s way of showing off his baby was really different. On the surface, it seemed silent, but in fact, anyone who talked to him on WeChat could see Xue Wanwan’s chubby face with a silly smile.
….
Duan Kai asked the driver to take Zu Qi to the front door of Xue’s house before returning to the company with Xiao Dengzi. They had some other work to deal with, but when Zu Qi asked them if they had time to come over for the banquet in the evening, they still nodded in agreement.
Xue Jue was indeed very aggressive this time. He specially asked Butler Zhang to lead people to clean up the banquet hall that had been idle for a long time, and also asked decoration workers to renovate many places a week in advance.
When Zu Qi returned to Xue’s house before noon, he saw seven or eight luxury cars parked in the open space of the garden that exuded the smell of RMB from the inside out.
Zu Qi asked Xiaoya who came out to pick him up and learned that it was Xue Jue’s friends who had come ahead of time.
“Do you remember Mr. Jin Yu?” Xiaoya asked.
“Jin Yu?” Zu Qi was a little impressed. He only remembered that he had heard this name before, but he couldn’t remember it for a while.
“On the first day we came back, Mr. Xue brought out a share transfer contract of Xue Company. That contract was signed by Mr. Jin personally when he went to Japan.”
After Xiaoya’s reminder, Zu Qi was somewhat impressed: “I heard that Jin Yu and Xue Yanjing don’t get along well?”
“You still know this?” Xiaoya looked surprised, and then said distressedly, “But you may not be aware of some details. Both the Master and Mr. Jin are on the side of the second son of the Xue family. While Xue Yanjing and Sun Fei took refuge with the eldest son of the Xue family not long ago. I wonder if anything will happen after the two parties meet today…”
Since Xue Yanjing and Sun Fei left here, the servants all called them by their names, and whenever Xiaoya spoke about it, she still looked angry.
Zu Qi said: “They are coming tonight too?”
Xiaoya recovered from her anger: “Who are you talking about?”
“Xue Yanjing and Sun Fei.”
“I don’t know.” Xiaoya shook her head blankly, “I think they won’t come, after all, Master and them are at odds with each other, but the elders of the Xue family will definitely come.”
Although the eldest son of the Xue family had been secretly opposing Xue Jue, they were still a harmonious family on the surface.
Zu Qi also understood this truth. After chatting with Xiaoya for a while, he walked through the door and came to the living room on the first floor without knowing it.
Before he even got close, he saw Xue Jue and several men and women sitting on a simple and luxurious brown-red leather sofa talking. It seemed that they heard the footsteps of him and Xiaoya coming in and turned to look over curiously.
“You’re back.” Xue Jue stood up and walked over.
He was wearing black trousers and a light gray turtleneck sweater. Perhaps he was a little warm due to the heating in the room, so he had rolled up his cuffs slightly, revealing his delicate and beautiful wrists, as well as a watch that looked very expensive just by looking at it.
“Well, I’m back.” Zu Qi replied. He wanted to ask where Xue Wanwan was, but after feeling the eager gossipy eyes of the group of people on the sofa, he swallowed back what he was about to say.
He even had the illusion that the group of people were watching him as some strange and ancient beast.
The enthusiastic gazes of the melon-eaters who were thirsty for knowledge… were really hard to ignore…
Zu Qi took the suitcase in Xiaoya’s hand, and under the illumination of the group of “searchlights” beside him, his head almost buried in his collar as he said uncomfortably: “Then I’ll go upstairs first.”
“Okay.” Seeing Zu Qi’s awkward reaction, Xue Jue immediately gave up the idea of introducing him to his friends and said in a gentle tone, “Go. It’s okay.”
Zu Qi nodded and was about to run away when Xue Jue suddenly held his shoulder from behind.
“Wait a minute.”
Zu Qi turned his head: “???”
“Where you are…” Xue Jue stretched out his hand and gently twisted Zu Qi’s hair. But there was nothing between his long fingertips.
Zu Qi: “…”
Xue Jue was stunned for a moment, feeling a little embarrassed: “The snowflakes have melted.” After saying that, he pretended that nothing had happened and withdrew his hand.
Zu Qi couldn’t help laughing, and the corners of his mouth kept turning forward as if he couldn’t suppress it.
His cheeks and ears were feeling hot. Xue Jue’s gesture just now was so intimate that he felt like he would kiss him directly in front of everyone.
“Thank you, thank you.” Zu Qi said this and ran up to the second floor, carrying a heavy suitcase but running faster than a rabbit.
Xue Jue watched in amusement as Zu Qi’s figure disappeared behind the corner. He twirled his fingertips and suddenly thought of something. He let out an almost inaudible sigh, then turned and walked back.
His friends had been watching the excitement for a long time. They were not blind. They had seen the relationship between Xue Jue and Zu Qi from the way they got along.
A woman with wavy curly hair and a hot figure said meaningfully: “I really couldn’t see that our Mr. Xue will fall into the hands of a little cabbage one day.”
Another man laughed loudly and continued: “Everyone used to say that Xue Jue was not flirtatious with women and lived like a monk. Who knew he was just flirting with men? Hahaha!”
A group of people laughed as if they were convulsing.
Xue Jue seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and glanced over with a cold look in his eyes: “Have you laughed enough?”
As soon as he finished speaking, the laughter of the group of people stopped abruptly.
Everyone shuddered under Xue Jue’s cold gaze, touched their noses, looked at each other, and then everyone changed the topic together with a tacit understanding.
Anyone who knew Xue Jue knew that he seemed to be a calm and talkative person, but in fact he was very petty and very vindictive. Anyway, as long as he showed this expression, it meant that he was angry.
As long as Xue Jue was angry, no one at the scene could escape.
So everyone changed the object of ridicule to Jin Yu, who was sitting in the corner and remained silent, asking him that hadn’t he agreed with Xue Jue before that he would only send gifts and not attend, but now he still came here. Was it because of Cui Junzhuo that he came?
Xue Jue’s cousin Cui Junzhuo had liked Jin Yu for four or five years. This was a well-known thing in their circle.
Precisely because Cui Junzhuo often approached Jin Yu in the name of Xue Jue, Jin Yu was so frightened that he ran to Japan to develop his career without looking back. Even now, he still dared not get too close to Xue Jue.
Jin Yu was not in high spirits. He kept leaning on the sofa with one hand, looking thoughtful. After hearing everyone’s jokes, he waved his hands in disgust: “I have told you so many times that I didn’t go to Japan to avoid him, and I didn’t come back just for him. You guys are just messing around all day long.”
The woman who just spoke laughed and said, “If Cui Junzhuo knew that you have returned to China, I’m sure his face will burst into laughter.”
Jin Yu felt a headache and chest tightness when he thought of the things Cui Junzhuo had done. If he hadn’t accidentally heard that that person might be coming, he would have wanted to get up and leave immediately.
The expressionless face of that person appeared in his mind, and Jin Yu’s stiff expression gradually softened, and he continued to sit down patiently.
