Marriage of a Sickly Villain and a Fortune Hunter

Xia Xingchi was very poor, until he died and transmigrated into a book to become a young master who was adopted back into a wealthy family, becoming rich in an instant!

It was a pity that the...

Chapter 20 Waiting Room

20

The online live broadcast has finally started warming up. Although there are no stars on the screen yet, everyone is already very enthusiastic, with comments flashing one after another.

[It’s so cold in Beijing now. Are you worried about your wife wearing a long off-shoulder dress? Alas, this is the trouble of high-end luxury endorsement~]

[That’s enough [sweating like soybeans.jpg] It’s great to borrow the high-end design, but it’s disgusting enough to see Xia Yu’s marketing that is flooding the screen]

[Don’t cue my baby, your jealousy is overflowing the screen. It’s useless to be angry and jealous of our Xiao Yu, it’s so funny]

[Stop making noise. You will all be muted in a moment.] By the way, this year's venue is particularly luxurious and grand, right? 】

[Of course, this year we will not only have big investors from all walks of life...but according to inside information, there will also be a super mysterious big shot! 】

[No, I just want to see handsome guys. I'm not interested even if the richest man in the world comes.]

[He is indeed a top handsome guy, a young tycoon! Business legend! 】

【woc? This description sounds familiar. You're not saying that Li Chengyuan will be there! ! 】

[Ahhhh, I heard that too! Doesn't that mean I can finally see what my idol looks like? 】

One stone can cause a thousand ripples, and this is a big topic. Everyone was pondering the credibility of the news and discussing why he came to the dinner.

Some people even boasted, "I have memorized all the photos in the nine-square grid. As long as Mr. Li appears in front of the camera, I will definitely recognize him!"

Unfortunately, Li Chengyuan's mere presence at the banquet had already made the host keep saying, "What a great honor to our humble home! Your presence is such a great honor to our humble home!"

As for wanting him to walk the red carpet, that is simply a fantasy.

After entering from the hidden VIP passage, Zhao Yinhe immediately started flirting with girls. After all, there were the most beauties in the circle, and the most flowers who would throw themselves into the arms of Mr. Zhao and want to be picked by him.

Even a hard-core guy like Li Chengyuan has blossomed, so maybe a single guy like me will also encounter spring?

Zhao Yinhe was well-known for picking flowers everywhere, so the person in charge didn't find it strange and tactfully didn't ask any more questions. He continued to take Li Chengyuan to his exclusive lounge on the second floor.

Unexpectedly, Li Chengyuan stopped and signaled that the other party's work ended here.

"Mr. Li, what are you going to do...?" Shocked, could it be that the boss who has always been aloof is also going to flirt with other girls?

Li Chengyuan saw what the other party was thinking. Normally, he would never pay attention to such trivial matters, but when he thought about his plan to "officially announce" with Xia Xingchi, he felt that his reputation might still be of some importance.

He said calmly: "I'll go find someone."

Go catch that pet hedgehog that's always running around and slippery, and give it a good beating.

At this time, Xia Xingchi peeked out like a thief. According to the time calculation, he estimated that the villain had arrived now.

He didn't reply to so many messages. He must be still angry about me running away without his permission. It would be terrible if I met him now.

In order to prevent the bad fate of being struck by lightning from happening again, Xia Xingchi didn't dare to hang around in crowded places. He just huddled in an empty corner, and when no one was watching, he quietly tried to feel the feeling of walking on the red carpet.

Lin Meng had taken him there specially to learn the skills and put them into practice. Walking on the red carpet is not a difficult task, she was just worried that he would get stage fright.

Even when "Xia Xingchi" was just recording a video, he would be so nervous that he could not speak because of facing the camera, let alone facing the fans on both sides of the red carpet, countless cameras, and especially the whole live broadcast.

Fortunately, Xia Xingchi has always been thick-skinned, so this little drizzle was not enough to escape the pursuit of her angry fiancé, which made people nervous and scared.

Li Chengyuan usually did not impose any restrictions on him, let alone set regulations on his clothing like the rumored sponsor did when looking for a stand-in.

But once his actions are out of his control and there is a risk of running away, he will become furious like a big cat whose tail is stepped on.

Xia Xingchi shook his head, thinking that this wouldn't work. If someone had such a strong desire to control a person who was just a tool for the marriage, it would be enough to make many people sick.

Moreover, losing your temper all the time is bad for your health and can easily shorten your life.

Just as he was thinking about how to customize a desensitization plan for the short-lived big boss to prolong his life, he suddenly heard footsteps behind him, followed by a hand patting Xia Xingchi on the shoulder.

He was so frightened that he shuddered, thinking, could it be that the Cao Cao has appeared? I wanted to run, but I heard Lin Meng's voice:

"Xingchi? Why are you hiding here? Don't you want to go see the big guys?"

Seeing that the person coming was not Li Chengyuan, Xia Xingchi breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he already had the boss, but his life was always in danger.

He explained stealthily in a low voice: "I'm afraid of meeting a rich man... I just made him angry, and I'm afraid he will kill me in public."

Lin Meng was surprised when he heard this. Apart from celebrities, all those who could attend the dinner were powerful business tycoons, and each of them was well-known.

It seems that although that bad old man didn't give any resources and bought counterfeit clothes, he seems to be quite powerful?

Speaking of clothes, she had just gone to look around. Perhaps Xia Xingchi was lucky because no one could borrow his authentic high-end knockoff clothes.

It seems that the latest autumn and winter models of that big brand are really hard to get. Today, only Xia Yu was able to borrow this brand, but it is not a model of the current season but just a summer and autumn model.

"So your sponsor is here too?"

Xia Xingchi felt helpless when he heard this, thinking that not only was he there, but his post had already become a hot topic. The organizer must have obtained Li Chengyuan's permission, and actually liked a gossip Weibo post:

[Insider news: I heard that Mr. Li will also be attending tonight! I just don't know if I can see him. 】

The official strike of Thor’s hammer instantly made the already grand fashion dinner even more heated!

The legendary mysterious rich man suddenly showed up, and the related searches for Li Chengyuan suddenly topped the hot search list. Everyone was speculating what would make someone so low-key that he didn't even show anyone his photo to attend such an occasion.

Although there are people who doubt that Li Chengyuan is deliberately creating a male god persona, when asked by fans "What's the point of creating this persona?", he wanted to answer that it's for hype and money, but he was speechless for a moment.

Seeing Xia Xingchi was depressed, Lin Meng thought that he must be depressed by the cruel old man, so he actively suggested: "Xingchi, why don't we go see a handsome guy!"

As he said that, he took out his phone and pointed to the trending search list, saying, "Look! Li Chengyuan is really here! Let's go around a few times and maybe we can bump into him!"

Xia Xingchi was terrified, thinking that if this happened by chance, he would be like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth, so he quickly shook his head like a rattle.

But seeing Lin Meng eager to try, he realized that she was also half a fan of Li Chengyuan. Now even nine bulls could not stop her enthusiasm to find her idol.

But if she really met him, she probably wouldn't recognize him, after all, she had seen Li Chengyuan that night.

The truth was coming to light, and Xia Xingchi had to suspect that when the truth came out, he would be scolded by Lin's agent. With this in mind, he had better find a time to confess quickly and get leniency.

But now is definitely not the right time, so he had to quickly make an excuse: "I'm going to the bathroom, Mengmeng, you go first!"

.

The minute hand slowly moved forward until exactly seven o'clock in the evening, when the dinner, which had been preheated to a boiling point, finally began.

[It’s started! It’s started!] Grandma, the live broadcast you have been waiting for is finally here! 】

[Great!] Is it true that Mr. Li is going to participate [色色.jpg]? Can I see the male god? 】

[Really, really!] Sisters, please check out the trending searches on Weibo, the official has liked the “inside news”! It’s amazing! 】

[I checked again, I remember the top of the trending search list was Li Chengyuan [吃瓜], how come he disappeared? 】

[As a die-hard fan, I can only say that you have to get used to it. My husband’s money power is really enough to easily remove trending searches.]

Xia Xingchi sat in the waiting room, watching the live broadcast and barrage of comments, thinking that he was worthy of being Su Zhatian's villain BOSS, with so many fans both in and outside the book.

I was browsing quickly with great interest until my eyes fell on the word "husband", and then I paused unconsciously.

He stared at the two words several times, and after a moment, a subtle feeling of dissatisfaction seemed to flash across his mind.

——This is my house, how can you shout?

After thinking for a moment, he finally attributed this unspeakable sourness to the fact that he was just too stingy. He also comforted himself that no matter what others called him, Li Chengyuan would only eat the snacks he made and pay him a huge salary.

However, I see more and more people calling me that, and they call me that in a very affectionate way, which makes people suddenly feel as if their own cash cow has been snatched away by someone else, making them feel more and more unhappy.

Xia Xingchi tilted his head and thought about it. A few minutes later, a Weibo account named "Chi Xiaoxia" was registered.

This "fan" quickly joined Li Chengyuan's super topic, and his first Weibo post was a positive one:

[Chi Xiaoxia: Let me introduce to you all, this is my fiancé! mine! @黎承渊】

This attracted a few fans who laughed and liked his post, and they just thought he was a new fan and joked with him.

But after liking it, I paused for a few seconds before I suddenly realized something was wrong——

The account that was tagged actually exists and even has an official certification mark. Is this the real Li Chengyuan?

Oh my god, Mr. Li actually opened a Weibo account? When did it happen?

What made this high-ranking boss make such a change? !

Xia Xingchi was not aware of the storm. He felt happy after secretly declaring his sovereignty and continued to watch the live broadcast of other artists walking on the red carpet on his mobile phone.

He was almost last in the order of appearance. Seeing that there were fewer and fewer people in the waiting room, he could only suspect that the more obscure one was, the later one would be placed because he didn't understand the relationship between the order and the status.

After all, if you enter early, you can enjoy the free buffet earlier and you don’t have to stand in the cold in the waiting area where the central air conditioning is broken and drafty.

But when I turned around, I saw the popular "acquaintance" also waiting -

Xia Yu was surrounded by stylists and makeup artists, who were repeatedly adjusting his hairstyle, as if they wanted to make it perfect as if they were giving him a full face lift on the spot.

The last time they met was at the engagement party. He kicked Xia Yu to the ground in public and forcibly interrupted his tea art performance. During this period, I blocked the Xia family's cheap father and son to avoid being harassed all day long.

Given the villain protagonist's vengeful character, he can't even pretend to be friendly now.

The two looked at each other for a second, and Xia Yu turned away with a hint of arrogance and disgust, pretending not to see him, as if she was afraid that he would take advantage of her and take advantage of her popularity.

Xia Xingchi curled his lips. Even a dog would shake his head when seeing such an unlucky green tea spirit. He spoke as if someone was keeping an eye on him.

Instead of spending this free time, he might as well continue smoothing the fur of his own cat, whose fur has frizzled out. He will definitely not be able to avoid him when he enters the inner field, so he has to coax him now.

When the message alert sounded, Li Chengyuan was sitting in the lounge, and the large screen in front of him was showing the camera footage of the waiting area.

He watched as Xia Xingchi picked up his phone and sent him a message with a sly smile:

[Dear, are you happy now?] Being angry can make people have stomachache, but I just feel sorry for Giegie. Protecting health is everyone’s responsibility! 】

[Ge Ge, you have a lot of fans, unlike me, who can only be left at the end to walk the red carpet_(:з」∠)_]

[I'm hungry! I'm hungry!] I could definitely eat a cow right now! Do you think there is anything delicious in the backyard? 】

[Why isn’t it my turn yet…? 】

In fact, the organizer deliberately arranged him to be the last one. After all, it has always been a customary practice at this dinner party that the bigger the star, the later the ranking.

In order to treat Mr. Li's young fiancé with respect, they even arranged Xia Xingchi to be ranked after the popular idol Xia Yu.

Ordinary stars are either trying to lose weight or are afraid of dirtying their haute couture. They won’t drool over the free buffet, let alone look forward to getting in and eating.

Xia Xingchi was a newcomer and didn't understand these things, but Xia Yu understood them very well. When he saw the order of arrangement, he was so angry that he gritted his teeth.

What's more, they both wore the same brand of clothes, his were from last season, while Xia Xingchi's were the latest autumn and winter styles - this must be the bastard's deliberate attempt to disgust and provoke him!

I don't know what means were used to make Li Chengyuan spend money to buy this suit, but if Xia Xingchi was not there, I would be the only son of the Xia family, and the marriage should naturally belong to me.

It seemed that only by taking every bit he had now for himself could Xia Yu feel a little better.

The waiting area was so cold that it was too late to repair the air conditioner on site.

Xia Xingchi was not wearing a coat and could only sit there shivering. His fingers were almost numb from the cold while typing. He put down his phone, rubbed his hands and breathed out.

After warming up his fingers for a long time, he finally regained his flexibility. Just as he was about to continue harassing Li Chengyuan, he saw the villain who had ignored him for a whole day send him a message sparingly:

"cold?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Xingchi immediately typed "Cold, cold, cold!"

Before I could send it, I suddenly felt something was wrong and looked through the chat history suspiciously.

I don't think I told Li Chengyuan that it was cold here, so how did he know?

The author has something to say:

Mr. Li: I'm watching you. (The wife-staring maniac scores twice)

.

Xiao Xia: Stop yelling, this is my husband, he really belongs to me! I feed him cat food (snacks) every day!

Everyone: Hahaha, sister, you acted so seriously!

Everyone later: The clown turned out to be me_(:з」∠)_
