No one here knew about the relationship between Weng Yuxiang and Sun Fei. After all, it involved other people’s family affairs. Therefore, after Sun Fei left, no one mentioned her again, and everyone turned their attention to Weng Yuxiang’s maintenance.
“Yuxiang, your skin is so good. It doesn’t look like the skin condition that people of our age should have at all.”
“Yes, I saw it when Yuxiang came here just now. Please share some skin care tips quickly. Looking at my recent state, I’m almost worried to death about the fine lines on my face.”
Several women said something to each other, and soon Weng Yuxiang was confused.
“Didn’t we travel to Hokkaido before May Day? When we came back, I bought a set of skin care products at the duty-free shop, and I’m still using them now. It seems you recommended them to me,” Weng Yuxiang said.
Everyone: “…”
Soon a woman reacted and said in surprise: “I was also using that set of skin care products. I threw them away after using them for two months without any effect.”
Another woman said quietly: “Me too. I bought it, but it has no effect…”
With that, everyone began to criticize Weng Yuxiang, complaining that Weng Yuxiang was unwilling to share such good skin care methods, chattering, making Weng Yuxiang look confused, and not able to laugh or cry, and repeatedly say that she was really doing nothing exclusive.
However, no one believed it at all and continued to pester Weng Yuxiang.
In the end, Liu Jing couldn’t stand it and came to Weng Yuxiang’s rescue, saying that she knew Weng Yuxiang’s skin care methods very well, and if they wanted to know, just wait for news from her.
Several women were hesitant, but finally dropped the topic.
On the other side.
Zu Qi followed Xue Jue for a walk and gained a general understanding of the Xue family’s structure. Currently, the Xue family was basically divided into two camps, one of which was led by the eldest brother of the Xue family, Xue Yanshan, and the other was led by the second brother of the Xue family, Xue Yanmin.
Although people in the two camps appeared to be harmonious and like a family on the surface, they were actually wary of each other, and their conversations were full of undercurrents and conflicts.
Moreover, among this group of people, Zu Qi also met Xue Man, who had previously commented on him on Weibo – who was also Xue Jue’s cousin.
Xue Man was Xue Yanmin’s pampered daughter and a well-known online beauty blogger. She had a hot personality, was outspoken, and had a very poisonous tongue.
Xue Man had commented on Zu Qi’s acting skills on Weibo before, with both praise and criticism. Her words were to the point and very sharp.
Later, when Bai Guangjian’s divorce caused a stir, and it affected Zu Qi, Xue Man also stood up and said a few words. First, she pointed out that Zu Qi was not favored in the Xue family, and the child he gave birth to would not necessarily be favored by Xue Jue. She didn’t seem to like him, but within two days, she went to confront the person who insulted Zu Qi on her Weibo…
In short, Zu Qi couldn’t understand this girl’s brain circuit.
For example, now, Xue Man didn’t react when she faced Zu Qi. In fact, she didn’t even bother to raise her eyelids. But after hearing Xue Yanjing’s voice, she immediately became energetic. Her eyes quickly swept around Xue Yanjing and she said with a half-smile: “Uncle, today on such an important occasion, why don’t you bring your girlfriend to us to get to know her?”
Xue Yanjing had just walked over, and before the sofa was warm, he was stabbed by the junior, and his face suddenly turned ugly.
But at this time, someone pretended not to understand and asked: “What girlfriend? Your third uncle was divorced just a few days ago, and he has a new girlfriend so soon?”
“It’s not a new girlfriend, it’s an old girlfriend.” Xue Man said with a smile.
Xue Man was beautiful, with a pair of narrow phoenix eyes carrying a strong sense of sarcasm, the moles at the corners of her eyes shining brightly, and her cherry-like lips painted a deep retro red, gave her a bit more aggressive aura out of thin air.
She said, “How could my third uncle, who is so dedicated, abandon his girlfriend of twenty or thirty years for a new one?”
The implication of this sentence must be understood by everyone present.
For a moment, many people around looked this way.
Although everyone on the surface did not care about other people’s private affairs, they actually had a heart for gossip. Moreover, the story of Xue Yanjing and Sun Fei had always been a joke that everyone talked about after dinner, so they would naturally pay more attention to it.
Xue Yanjing didn’t know what those onlookers were thinking. In an instant, his whole face turned dark. He couldn’t get angry at them, so he could only swallow all the anger and grievance in his stomach.
If he had known it would be so embarrassing, he wouldn’t have come.
Xue Yanjing suddenly regretted it.
He pointed at Xue Man, who was smiling but not smiling, and said angrily with a trembling voice: “You, a junior, are you talking to your elders like this? Didn’t your parents teach you how to respect others?!”
Xue Man was not afraid of Xue Yanjing’s loud voice at all and just shrugged disapprovingly: “My parents only taught me to be brave and responsible.”
“…” Xue Yanjing was so angry at Xue Man’s words that his head was almost smoking, and he couldn’t even speak clearly. Pointing at Xue Man, his hand was shaking, “Okay, what a sharp-tongued girl.”
Xue Man bared her teeth with a playful smile: “Thank you, uncle, for the compliment.”
Xue Yanjing seemed not to have expected that Xue Man would be so shameless. He almost rolled his eyes and fainted on the spot.
The eyes of the people eating melons were like searchlights shining on Xue Yanjing, making him ashamed, as if his clothes had been stripped and thrown on the street, and the strong sense of shame almost overwhelmed him.
He looked around and couldn’t find Xue Yanmin, so he turned his angry gaze to Xue Jue: “You actually don’t care about her? She is so disrespectful at a young age, what is she talking about!”
Xue Jue stood next to Zu Qi, with an indifferent look on his face as if what was happening had nothing to do with him: “What do I care about her?”
“Look what bast**dly words she just said!”
Xue Jue still had no reaction: “I’m sorry, I forgot what she just said.”
Xue Yanjing: “…”
Xue Man couldn’t hold it back and burst into laughter.
Zu Qi watched helplessly as Xue Man made Xue Yanjing jump in anger with just a few words. While he was deeply impressed, he also decided to try to distance himself from this female devil in the future, otherwise he would not be able to speak in front of her even if he had ten mouths.
Xue Jue quickly noticed something strange about Zu Qi, so he turned around and whispered in his ear: “What’s wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?”
The breath when he spoke brushed past Zu Qi’s ears, and it was very itchy. Zu Qi couldn’t help but shrink his neck.
In fact, Zu Qi was really uncomfortable. He drank a lot of red wine when he was talking to Heng Jingchen, Xiao Dengzi, Duan Kai and others. Later, he met people with Xue Jue, although Xue Jue blocked him several times but he still had to drink four or five glasses.
Now that the after-effects of the alcohol were taking hold, Zu Qi felt a little groggy and even nauseous.
Zu Qi said: “I want to go to the bathroom.”
Xue Jue immediately said: “I will go with you.”
“No, I can just go by myself. You still have to accompany the guests.” After Zu Qi said that, he walked towards the bathroom. He looked drunk, but at this time he ran faster than a rabbit.
Xue Jue looked helplessly at Zu Qi’s fleeing back and shook his head gently.
Then, he couldn’t help but touch his face, wondering if he was really that scary? It seemed that Zu Qi was becoming more and more afraid of him.
….
The bathroom in the banquet hall was completely different from the bathroom in the residence. It referred to the decoration mode and style, and there were also separate men’s and women’s bathrooms. There were also bright and large mirrors and several cubicles.
Of course, even if it was just a men’s bathroom, its area was much larger than the bedroom Zu Qi lived in before transmigrating, and the decoration and furnishings exuded a “luxury” and inhumane atmosphere.
Zu Qi walked around the bathroom in a daze, unable to help but shed a few sad tears.
Some people struggled all their lives and never reached Rome, while some people stood at the terminal station in Rome as soon as they were born. This sentence was really heartbreaking.
Zu Qi really drank too much, so he rushed into the cubicle and retched into the toilet. However, he only ate a few snacks in the evening and could not vomit anything at this time.
Not long after, he suddenly felt sleepy, so he closed the toilet lid with a snap, turned around and sat down on the toilet.
Zu Qi wanted to go upstairs to take a shower and sleep, but he was too tired, as if even the strength to walk had been stripped away from his body, so he had to sit down for a while to relax.
Unexpectedly, Zu Qi fell asleep ever so slowly.
It wasn’t until there was a series of footsteps outside the compartment door, followed by someone knocking on the door, that Zu Qi, who was suddenly startled, suddenly straightened up and suddenly woke up from his trance.
“Who?”
“It’s me.” The person outside the door said softly.
“Xue Jue?” Zu Qi unexpectedly reached out and unlocked the door. As soon as the compartment door opened a gap, Xue Jue squeezed in from the outside.
