Soon after, he fell into the pain of being forced to study by his junior fellow student. He recited the lessons every day until he felt like dying. He dreamed of being able to go out and sell membership cards.
Fortunately, after a few days, his junior fellow student took the initiative to ask for leave, saying that he had something to do and had to be away for two days.
Tuan Tuanyi begged him to leave for two months, but before leaving, the other party gave him a lot of homework, which included practicing 100 sets of the Qingxin Talisman that he had just learned.
It’s so unfair! How can a junior give homework to a senior? He was indignant but dared not to practice. As a result, not long after the junior left, the master, who had been missing recently, came back.
In order to make his family reflect on themselves, Wei Tianyi had forced himself to go out early and come back late for many days in a row. God knows why his sleep quality had been so good recently. He fell into a deep sleep every day as soon as his head touched the pillow. Being woken up by the alarm clock when you are sleeping soundly was undoubtedly a very painful thing, but in order to make these basta**s at home realize the mistakes they had made, he still tried his best.
As a result, when he came back during the day on the weekend, there were even more guests at home. He first bumped into his younger son who was diligently wiping the sign at the gate, and then ran into his wife who was watering the plants in the yard. He was so angry that he stepped into the house dizzily and met the gaze of his eldest son.
The other party just glanced at him indifferently and turned his head away!
Only Butler Zhou remembered who his boss was. He stepped forward and asked about his well-being: “Sir, you haven’t come back so early in a while.”
Wei Tianyi held his forehead, feeling that he might fall to the ground with a cerebral hemorrhage in the next second. However, after closing his eyes, he stood straight and felt that the air at home was particularly fresh.
It was strange since the capital city became dry and cold in winter, and the air quality began to decline after heating. However, the situation at home was completely different from outside. The comfortable humid feeling in the yard was like a small world opened up in this city.
But he was upset at the moment and was in no mood to find out the reason. Seeing that Wei Xi really had no intention of actively paying attention to him, he could only speak to Butler Zhou in a frustrated manner and order: “Go and tell this evil boy to clean himself up and come with me to participate in the activities of the local Chamber of Commerce.”
Wei Xi was currently planning his company’s new products with Tuan Tuanyi, so of course it was impossible for him to go ahead and plant something that was expressly forbidden by his second apprentice.
Tuan Tuanyi held up the Qingxin Talismans he had drawn for practice and said, “Master, it would be a shame to keep these at home after I draw them. I think I can sell them.”
Wei Xi frowned and looked at the talisman paper in his hand: “You draw it so ugly, wouldn’t it be a disgrace to your reputation if you sell it to the members?”
“Who cares if it’s ugly or not, as long as it works, isn’t that enough?” Tuan Tuanyi was stubborn, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was too unscrupulous to sell this thing to members at a high price, so he changed his mind, “How about this, our Weibo popularity is pretty good recently, why don’t I open a Taobao store? It’s okay to sell it at a lower price, at least I can make back the cost of the talisman paper and cinnabar, right? Besides, you don’t care about me, and with this homework, he asked me to practice almost 300 Qingxin Talismans, and our company’s daily office supplies are too expensive. How can we use funds like this in the early stage of starting a business?”
Starting a business was difficult, and what Wei Xi hated most right now was the word money, so he immediately started to think deeply.
Butler Zhou came over to relay his boss’s meaning. But he was interrupted by Wei Xi’s thinking and looked towards Wei Tianyi.
Wei Tianyi thought to himself, you evil creature, you are really a bully at home now, and you get stage fright when you hear about going out, right?
Then he heard Wei Xi ask him: “Is there any food at the event?”
“…” Wei Tianyi pressed the throbbing veins on his forehead, his self-esteem not allowing him to answer the question, “This time the local Chamber of Commerce’s gathering is very large, and everyone will bring their families to attend. If I wasn’t worried about outsiders gossiping… Anyway, you better behave yourself, okay?”
He didn’t mention whether there was food, so Wei Xi didn’t want to go anymore. But Tuan Tuanyi found a business opportunity and immediately whispered in his ear, “Master, there will definitely be a lot of strangers at this kind of event. They are all potential members for us to develop!”
Wei Xi’s eyes immediately narrowed and he changed his mind: “Go and bring our business card and membership cards!”
He insisted on taking Tuanyi with him, and Wei Tianyi had no choice. He now felt that his eldest son might have lost his mind after going out, after all, he had become very illogical when doing things. Moreover, seeing that they were about to attend the Chamber of Commerce meeting, he really didn’t dare to conflict with the other party. He finally got rid of the dark circles around his eyes and didn’t need to wear sunglasses.
On the way there, Wei Tianyi was still angry and refused to talk to his rebellious family members. Shu Wanrong could only communicate with her increasingly gloomy son. However, Wei Chengshu was a man of few words. She finally said she had nothing to say and could only turn the topic to Wei Xi: “Xiao Xi, Yue Yue will definitely go to the Chamber of Commerce this time. You…even if you can’t let her go, you have to calm down and not act like you are at home.”
Although she hadn’t heard him mention Wang Yue recently, whenever she thought of her stepson’s obsession with his fiancée in the past, she was worried that Wei Xi would do something irrational.
When Wei Xi heard this, he looked up at her with a very calm expression. Shu Wanrong couldn’t tell what his attitude was for a moment.
Wei Xi was thinking, who is this person she is talking about?
….
As an influential place of fame and fortune in Beijing, the local events of the Chamber of Commerce had always been of considerable scale. Many celebrities in the business circle intended to take this opportunity to get to know each other, and at the same time pave the way for the successors they intended to cultivate. Therefore, bringing one’s family members and younger generations to the event had long been an unwritten rule. If anyone was missing, a lot of rumors would inevitably circulate the next day.
In an event of this magnitude, merchants from Wei Tianyi’s circle would hardly be missing a spot, and the same went for the Wang family, which was of similar status to the Wei family.
When the traffic merged into the entrance, Wang Yue was still complaining to her friends who had come with her with a worried look on her face: “I heard from Xing Kai and the others that Wei Xi returned to Beijing some time ago, and he will probably come with his father this time. Oh, what should I do if he pesters me later?”
She was born with fair skin and beautiful looks and was really very eye-catching. Her friends all comforted her when they heard this: “Don’t be afraid, we are all here. Even if he dares to come and harass you, we will help you.”
These girls were from the same class and had similar conditions. Some were close to her, some were distant, so some didn’t know her past love and hatred. The content of their consolation was different: “Don’t worry, he and you are a marriage arranged by your parents, so there is no need to be so obsessed. What’s more, everyone knows what to do in such occasions, and he will definitely not do anything too outrageous.”
Although Wang Yue was worried about being harassed, she felt a little unhappy when she heard such words, as if her charm was underestimated. She couldn’t help but defend herself, “You don’t know, he is really crazy about me. When he was pursuing me before, he clung to me and I couldn’t drive him away. Whenever he comes, he will definitely keep looking for me to explain. I really don’t know how to get rid of him.”
When everyone heard this, many were in disbelief: “Is this true? Weren’t you two already engaged? Why was he going through all the trouble to pursue you?”
Wang Yue turned her head away calmly: “How should I know? When I wanted to break off the engagement, he came to my house every day to harass me. Sigh, I was almost traumatized by him.”
The girls were silent for a moment and looked at each other with different expressions, but no matter what, many people still didn’t quite believe it.
Wang Yue saw their attitude and became unhappier. After getting off the car, she saw Wei Tianyi’s family from afar at the exit. Apart from the annoyance of being harassed by Wei Xi again, she actually felt a little bit of anticipation.
Therefore, instead of avoiding it, she actively signaled her friends to look towards the Wei family: “Oh my God, he’s really here!”
“Yue Yue.” Shu Wanrong also saw her and immediately turned to look at her stepson. She greeted Wang Yue with an awkward expression, “It’s been a long time since we last met.”
Because they had heard many stories about Wei Xi pursuing Wang Yue in the car before, even though Wang Yue’s friends had some doubts about this, they still immediately stepped forward to protect her inadvertently, and looked vigilantly at Wei Xi who was being led behind by Wei Tianyi.
“Uncle Wei, Aunt Shu, Chengshu.” After Wang Yue greeted them all, she turned her complicated gaze to her fiancé.
Wei Xi took a look at the group of girls who suddenly appeared, and immediately heard Wei Chengshu snort coldly. He turned around and found that the other party was looking at him unhappily with a gloomy face.
He was wondering what happened to his sect’s advanced model soldier, when he heard the girl who had greeted him earlier called out his name again: “Wei, Wei Xi.”
Wei Xi glanced at her and found that she was hiding behind her friends and seemed to be evasive when looking at him.
Wei Xi didn’t recognize her and didn’t want to pay attention to her, but he felt that she looked unlucky and might be a potential customer, so he patiently nodded and turned to look at other potential customers passing by.
Wang Yue: “???”
Wei Xi actually just said “hmm”, and then what?
And then nothing happened.
Wei Xi suddenly felt that the scene was silent for a while. The girl’s eyes became very surprised in the silence. Even Shu Wanrong and Wei Tianyi turned around to look at him. Wei Chengshu on the side had an even more strange look on his face.
Wei Xi was somewhat confused by Wei Chengshu’s complicated and inquiring gaze, and asked, “We are just standing here?”
Shu Wanrong uttered “oh” twice before she came back to her senses. While suppressing her shock, she smiled at Wang Yue awkwardly but politely, “Then Yue Yue, it’s getting late, let’s go in first. Have fun with your friends. When aunt is free later, I will come and chat with your mother.”
Wang Yue opened her mouth but was speechless for a moment. What shocked her even more was that Wei Xi actually followed Shu Wanrong, Wei Tianyi and the others without even looking at her.
She was not only in disbelief at this moment, but also felt unspeakably humiliated. She had previously disdained Wei Xi when he chased after her, but now this attitude of his was even more unacceptable to her. When she came to her senses, she realized that she had actually called out to him, “Wei Xi!”
The Wei family members stopped in their tracks and all turned around to look. Wei Xi also looked at them, and his eyes were even a little impatient: “You called me?”
Wang Yue looked at him hesitantly as if she were looking into a stranger’s eyes. She found it unbelievable: “You…what are you doing…”
She saw Wei Xi looking at her with a puzzled expression, and then he turned around and left without any reluctance.
Wang Yue stood there in a daze, watching the familiar figure disappear into the crowd. She should have felt relieved, but what came to her mind at this moment was a huge sense of emptiness.
It was as if something familiar had suddenly changed drastically, and this drastic change came without any warning, making it difficult for her to accept it for a while.
How could Wei Xi, who followed behind her, cared about her every day, visited her every morning and evening, and was always available at her call, become like this?
She couldn’t figure it out, but when she came to her senses, she found that even bigger trouble was waiting for her.
The group of girls around her who were originally protective of her had already dispersed. Except for two very close girlfriends who also looked confused, everyone else was staring at her with strange expressions.
Wang Yue was stunned by their stares, and then one of the girls asked with a distorted expression, “…Is this the fiancé you mentioned, the one who pestered you so much that you had a psychological trauma?”
She emphasized the word “pestered”. Wang Yue immediately heard something wrong and her face suddenly changed: “What do you mean?”
The girl covered her face and laughed dryly twice. She didn’t say much to her and took a few people she had good relations with to go find her family. Wang Yue heard them snickering as they left: “Oh my God, is Wang Yue too narcissistic? Do you remember what she said in the car just now?”
“I remember, she said her fiancé was so attached to her that she couldn’t get rid of him. She made it sound like he was a sticky plaster, as if he really loved her. I was so blind that I actually believed her. I even wanted to protect her just now, but he didn’t even want to talk to her. She seemed to be more proactive and even called him by his name.”
“Oh my god, this is so embarrassing. How dare she bring us here? Isn’t she afraid of being exposed on the spot?”
“You know, she used to tell me that her fiancé climbed over the wall to bring her breakfast every day when they were in college. Now it seems that it was all just bullshit.”
“You know what, her fiancé is quite handsome. I guess she dreams every day that she is a princess, so a prince charming is all around her.”
“No, no, this is too funny. I need to go talk to my brothers and ask them to join in the fun too.”
When Wang Yue heard this, her eyes suddenly went dark, but she didn’t know how to explain it.
Only then did she realize that she might become the laughing stock of this group of people from now on.
