Chapter 64 My brother's gone mad, don't swear on my behalf.

"Brother, I have something important to tell you," Ye Chuying hurriedly called her brother, "It's urgent, it's urgent, please don't hang up."

At this moment, Fu Yanli stood in the corner with his head drooping, unconsciously fastening the tie clip on his suit, and casually agreed, "Okay. Go ahead then."

Although Ye Chuying had already anticipated that her brother wouldn't care about the urgent matter she mentioned, after all, she had previously tricked him by lying about having an urgent matter, she still felt that this matter was particularly important. "Brother, don't you think Xu Wenci is acting strangely?"

Fu Yanli became interested. "What did you find? Tell me."

"Did Mom ever tell you that Xu Wenci... might be someone Grandpa Qiao sent to your side who can perfectly know your preferences?" Ye Chuying felt like she was the great hero of the world because she had prevented a heartbreaking moment for a young person, no, a slightly older person.

“He definitely isn’t,” Fu Yanli touched his nose, his voice softening with guilt, still pretending not to care, “He doesn’t even know what I like to eat, or what time I go to bed…”

"Brother, is this the main problem?" Ye Chuying was speechless, wishing she could grab Fu Yanli and pull him to her side, making sure he heard her clearly. "Shouldn't the main problem be Xu Wenci's identity?"

“His identity is absolutely legitimate, otherwise Mom wouldn’t be so calm,” Fu Yanli said dismissively.

"Brother, something's not right," sixteen-year-old Ye Chuying wasn't going to be fooled, and instead asked her question directly: "Why is Mom, who usually doesn't care about you at all, suddenly paying more attention to you lately? There must be something that might threaten your life... How did you convince Mom not to target Xu Wenci..."

Fu Yanli sighed, stopping his fingers from fumbling for his tie clip, his knuckles turning white. "Sis, you're overthinking it."

"Is that so?" Ye Chuying thought seriously.

Hopefully, she's overthinking it.

However, there was something really wrong between her brother and her mother.

"Auntie, what do you think?" After hanging up the phone, Ye Chuying was still unwilling to give up and turned her gaze to Su Anlan, who looked guilty but pretended to be busy.

Su Anlan forced a smile: "It's alright. Your brother is so old, nothing bad will happen to him. Maybe I'm just worried about his marriage."

"My brother has gone mad." Ye Chuying slammed her hand on the table, making her conclusion.

Startled, Su Anlan silently remarked: Indeed. Moreover, she's completely insane.

Su Anlan didn't understand why her sister would so firmly oppose Fu Yanli and Xu Wenci being together the moment she saw Xu Wenci, even though the script clearly stated that the two of them were a match made in heaven and were each other's destined partners.

Clearly, they are the protagonists of this world.

Why would her sister worry about a possibility that doesn't even exist in the script? None of that will happen.

It definitely won't happen.

Therefore, she chose to keep it a secret.

She can listen to her sister on anything, but Fu Yanli really likes Xu Wenci. Whether Xu Wenci likes Fu Yanli or not, it's their business.

She wanted to cover up for Fu Yanli what he didn't want to talk about.

She didn't know whether Xu Wenci was actually sent by Old Master Qiao to Fu Yanli's side, but since the intelligent Fu Yanli didn't care about this issue, she naturally wouldn't care either.

"Chu Ying, do your aunt a favor," Su Anlan raised an eyebrow and shook the ahoge on her head, "go with your aunt to see Grandpa Fu."

“Speaking of which, he really hasn’t made any moves in a long time,” Ye Chuying said, her attention successfully piqued. “Could he be planning something big…?”

“His purpose is complicated, I don’t understand it,” Su Anlan shook her head, secretly observing Ye Chuying’s expression. “You go with your aunt to take a look.”

Ye Chuying nodded.

It has to be admitted that if you tell anyone about the affairs between the Ye family, the Fu family, the Qiao family, and the Su family, they will all say: "The entertainment industry is really messy."

Fortunately, each family had some weaknesses or vulnerabilities that kept them in check, thus maintaining this delicate balance.

The Su family's daughter grew up in the Ye family. When Ye's illegitimate son confessed his love to her, he was actually accepting the confession on behalf of Ye's daughter to preserve the dignity of Ye's only daughter.

Two men from the older generation of the Qiao and Fu families fell in love, which turned into a family feud, and the two families became mortal enemies.

The Su family lost their daughter at a young age, and their relationship with the Fu family has been strained since their ancestors' generation. Unexpectedly, the Su family's youngest daughter is a sister-obsessed person, and that sister is actually the Fu family's former daughter-in-law.

hehe.

Ye Chuying grew up listening to all sorts of complicated gossip and family secrets from a young age, so she wasn't surprised that Old Master Qiao was taking revenge on her brother. But she really didn't expect her brother to jump into the trap without hesitation.

"Hi," Fu Yanli greeted Xu Wenci, who was walking out of the emergency exit, and waved, "Long time no see."

Xu Wenci had actually noticed Fu Yanli standing at the end of the emergency exit, silently watching him.

It's hard for him not to notice, after all, Fu Yanli's gaze was practically a physical object tethering him.

"Working overtime again?" Xu Wenci didn't turn his head, but walked towards the break room and asked this question politely.

“Hmm,” Fu Yanli raised an eyebrow, surprised that Xu Wenci was so concerned about him. “I fell behind on a lot of work recently, but I’ve finished it by working overtime these past few days.”

Be careful of sudden death.

Xu Wenci walked briskly towards the lounge, his hands in his pockets, clearly not wanting to continue talking to Fu Yanli.

Drinking alcohol, staying up late, and working.

It would be strange if he didn't have health problems.

wrong.

Fu Yanli is the main character, so nothing will happen to him.

Moreover, Fu Yanli's drinking was all fake.

Realizing how annoying Fu Yanli was, Xu Wenci quickened his pace.

Fu Yanli was even happier to receive the attention he wanted, and he changed the subject: "Do you remember the first time we stayed at your house?"

Xu Wenci stopped and waited for Fu Yanli to catch up. Then, just as Fu Yanli approached with a playful smile, Xu Wenci grabbed Fu Yanli's arm and quickly pulled him into the lounge.

Using the momentum, he threw Fu Yanli inside the door, glanced around, and then closed the door.

"Shut up." Xu Wenci's words were clearly less lenient than they had been in the previous world.

Fu Yanli ignored his warning and followed closely behind Xu Wenci, grinning, "I tripped and fell back then, and you helped me inside."

"Fu Yanli, can you speak less like you did in the last world?" Xu Wenci went straight to the lounge chair as soon as he entered the room, leaned back to rest, and tapped his phone screen lightly with his fingers, glancing at it every now and then, as if waiting for something.

Fu Yanli retorted, "Wasn't it because my body wasn't under my complete control in the last world?"

Moreover, I actually talked a lot in the last century.

But you can't hear it.

"Why are we here? Is this a notification from the live chat?" Xu Wenci rubbed his temples, closed his eyes gently, and asked.

"Um."

Fu Yanli became even quieter at this point.

"What exactly is the plot here? A confession scene? Does the plagiarist still have control over this world?"

The first part of the question made Fu Yanli start to feel embarrassed. He scratched his head, but accidentally scratched his hat, and withdrew his hand.

He actually hopes that's the case.

"What kind of outfit is this?" Xu Wenci finally noticed Fu Yanli's attire. "A baseball cap with a suit?"

"I wore it because my haircut was bad."

Xu Wenci couldn't help but roll his eyes, picked up his phone, glanced at the message, and got up to walk towards the door.

"Sir, here is your mango cream cake."

Before Xu Wenci could even reach for it, Fu Yanli, who had been listening intently, heard it.

"You ordered this for me?" Fu Yanli shamelessly leaned closer.

Before Xu Wenci could even frown, the cake in his hand was snatched away by a hungry tiger.

"It was definitely ordered for me." Fu Yanli nodded, picked up the cake, plopped down in his chair, and said confidently, "There are two forks, so there must be one for me."

Xu Wenci was genuinely amused and said, "You must have been wronged in the last world, not getting a single bite."

"..." Fu Yanli waved his hand.

I'm not wronged, I'm not wronged.

Xu Wenci: You're really getting cocky when I say you're fat.

“You know,” Fu Yanli said suddenly as he unpacked the package, “is it possible that the current plot is about our breakup…”

"You guessed right..."

"Hmm? How did you know?" Fu Yanli looked at the cake, unconsciously swallowing, but still pretending to be reserved. "That cake...you should have a bite first..."

Xu Wenci saw through Fu Yanli's thoughts at a glance. He knew that Fu Yanli couldn't eat it if he didn't, so he walked closer, took a bite of the cake, and explained, "Gu Pei told me."

"He's so kind?" Fu Yanli's eyes were fixed on the cake, but he still asked a question first because of his mission. "He ran away before, scaring Yi Lou so much that she almost cried. I didn't expect him to contact you..."

Xu Wenci's focus was successfully diverted, and his tone carried a hint of curiosity: "Yi Lou cried?"

"Mm." Fu Yanli nodded.

I finally made up my mind to take a bite of the cake.

Hmm~

Um?

It didn't taste very good.

Try it again.

It still doesn't taste very good.

"Yi Lou's crying is as ugly as this cake," Fu Yanli commented, putting down his fork.

Xu Wenci's first reaction was that he didn't understand Fu Yanli's words at all; what a jumbled mess of descriptions.

Later, it was realized that Fu Yanli had complained that the cake was unpalatable.

But he completely ignored Fu Yanli's request and directly ordered, "In a moment, put on a show, pretend to break ties..."

Fu Yanli's acting instincts were immediately piqued by these words, and he gave Xu Wenci an OK sign.

Xu Wenci's ears twitched, and he lifted his eyelids to look at Fu Yanli coldly.

The next second, the two quickly got into the zone.

Fu Yanli's smile was instantly replaced by anger, as if he had reached the point of no return.

Xu Wenci took a deep breath, narrowed his eyes slightly, and his gaze seemed to conceal a sharp dagger. With each blink, the cold light of the dagger flashed faintly.

The air in the lounge seemed ready to explode at any moment, and what ignited this fuse was the sound of high heels approaching from outside the door.

As Ye Qingdai passed by the lounge, she saw Fu Yanli and Xu Wenci pointing fingers and cursing at each other. Moreover, it seemed that the two had reached the point of grabbing whatever was at hand and starting to smash each other.

The crisp sound of the vase hitting the marble tile made Ye Qingdai squint her eyes defensively.

What... what are they up to?

"You clearly said you wouldn't drink anymore, you wouldn't drink anymore! A few days ago you were so drunk you collapsed at my doorstep!" Xu Wenci stretched out her finger and poked Fu Yanli's chest hard, but her eyes under her eyelashes were calm and unwavering.

"I already said I wasn't drunk! I only had a few sips of wine!" Fu Yanli's eyes were tinged with a deep red from anger or frustration. He felt wronged for being scolded, even though it was just an act. "Besides, you've been ignoring me for days. What's wrong with me having a few sips of wine?"

Ye Qingdai watched the farce unfold between the two with a cold eye.

The acting was exaggerated, and the tone of voice was deliberate.

They're really clever to argue over such a trivial matter, especially when all the guests have left.

But... why did it have to be this day of all...?

Is it for her to see?

"I'm ignoring you? Wasn't it you who slammed the door and left a few days ago, saying that if you ever talked to me again, you'd get hit by a car and die!" Xu Wenci frantically winked at Fu Yanli.

Why is it your mother? Shouldn't it be Fu Rongzhen?

Fu Yanli blinked frantically, his eyelids almost cramping, "When did I ever say such things! You're such a despicable person, actually cursing me!"

I don't know either. Wasn't this part of your plan?

And please don't make any promises for me, okay?

Fu Yanli certainly didn't want to be hit by a car and die.
