006
Aunt Lin came back the next day, but she didn't stay long. She left after cooking, for fear that Xu Yu would see her and become depressed and jump off the building again.
Not only that, Xi Jiang reduced the restrictions and allowed him to go out.
Xu Yu went to a bookstore to read, trying to understand how love could reach the point of needing a replacement. She flipped through love stories from China and abroad, but couldn't get into them at all.
He didn't have much artistic talent, and even photography was taught by his high school teacher. Something happened in his family before he went to college, and he has been with Xi Jiang ever since.
Forget about feeling love, I haven't even experienced it.
After leaving the bookstore, it was raining outside. Xu Yu didn't bring an umbrella. Then she remembered that Wang Li had said the day before yesterday that Zhu Wenxu would also be at the gym today. She hadn't given him the water from yesterday.
Are you going?
Go ahead.
Xu Yu bought an umbrella, but the rain was so heavy and the umbrella was cheap and of poor quality that it flew away not long after he started walking.
Tingfeng Market is as its name suggests, with strong winds. If it gets any stronger, it can be as strong as a typhoon. Especially during storms, even roadside stalls can be blown away.
Xu Yu has some very deep memories about rain. His mother died on a rainy day, it was a rainy day when he first visited Xi Jiang's house, and it was a rainy day when he met Zhu Wenxu.
A horn sounded from the side. Xu Yu turned his head and saw the familiar Maybach. The rear window was open. The rain showed no mercy to the people in the car. It hit the window and splashed on Zhu Wenxu's face.
My glasses were stained and my hair on my forehead was wet.
He stared at Xu Yu like a wolf staring at its prey: "Get in the car."
Xu Yu didn't move. He was soaked, and getting in the car was a bit inconvenient. The driver in front also rolled down the window: "Hurry up, sir, this rain will get our CEO wet."
Xu Yu thought of Assistant Zhao’s bitter face and how hard it was for workers, so he opened the back door and got into the car.
There was no air conditioning in the car, so it was cold. Zhu Wenxu wiped his face with a tissue, and his skin looked whiter than before.
Xu Yu sat stiffly in the corner: "Thank you, Mr. Zhu. I'm at the corner ahead."
"It's raining so hard, you're going out?"
Xu Yu: "I didn't expect the rain to be so heavy."
"I saw your umbrella was blown away."
“…”
"I thought I could go to the gym."
Zhu Wenxu pondered: "Because of self-discipline?"
"yes."
"I've got a problem with the shower, and my self-discipline is ruined."
“…”
Xu Yu felt that Zhu Wenxu was not very happy, but he couldn't tell the reason.
"Where is Mr. Zhu? Why are you here?"
"Just like you, I was getting ready to go to the gym, but it was raining so hard I didn't want to go. Just as I was about to leave, I saw someone's umbrella being blown away." Zhu Wenxu's words were as cold as ice.
No need to repeat.
Xu Yu was embarrassed: "The umbrella is of poor quality."
Zhu Wenxu pulled a towel out from the back seat and gave it to him: "New one, wipe it."
"Thanks."
Zhu Wenxu twisted his wet hair with his hands: "I don't need verbal thanks."
"What kind of thanks do you want, Mr. Zhu?" Xu Yu slowed down the movement of wiping his hair.
"Add one more bottle of water."
water?
Xu Yu was unsure: "Just add a bottle of water?"
"no?"
It's a bit hard to refuse.
Xu Yu: "Okay."
The car dropped him off at the designated spot and drove away. Before getting out, Zhu Wenxu handed him an umbrella, all black, with the CEO logo. Xu Yu went home with the umbrella, went upstairs to take a shower, and then crawled into bed, not wanting to do anything else.
Wang Li later reported that Zhu Wenxu had stopped going to the gym and was mostly on business trips. After cooking for the day, Aunt Lin said goodbye to Xu Yu, saying she would never come again.
"Did I scare Auntie last time?"
Aunt Lin shook her head: "It's not because of you, take care of yourself."
Everything returned to normal. Xu Yu cooked and ate alone. In the evening, Wang Li sent him another message: [Are you free tonight?]
Xu Yu: [What?]
[Go to Siyangsi Square, the business center, where Zhu Wenxu is.]
Xu Yu didn't really want to go, so he continued to organize his mind map. Just then, he received a reply to his online post asking for help.
Drowning dream: [As the original poster said, you have always been a substitute for your boyfriend's lover, but your boyfriend has never acknowledged your relationship or identity, which means he has never liked you. If you want to get rid of this scumbag, it is recommended to confront his lover directly.]
Received the remaining balance: [You bastard, I didn't take you seriously at all. If you look a lot like your avatar, just tell it to the avatar. They'll just be locked up. Pet the OP's baby.]
Shanhua Milk My recommendation: [Do you have evidence against the scumbag? I suggest the OP consider their own position before trying to get rid of him. I feel like he'll try to blackmail you. If you go to his stand-in to explain, he might even turn the tables on you. If both of you hurt each other, it'll be hard to justify your actions. I suggest you be patient for now. If the stand-in is easy to get along with, I suggest you be nice to him and then finally help them both out as sisters. This way, things won't look bad, and you won't have any enemies. I'm just suggesting this.]
I'm a teacher here: [What do you mean by friendly coexistence? What if it's hard to get along? If I were the OP, I'd start a scene and nobody would have an easy time.]
Drunk Drinking Peach Blossom Wine: [The OP needs to gather evidence. First, you need to understand the personalities of both people before you can truly get along. Second, gather evidence of similarities between you two to expose the scumbag. Third, don't let yourself get caught up in self-doubt. You just need to show off your presence in front of them and how much you love the scumbag. If Bai Yueguang sees through it and is even more deeply in love with the scumbag, you can easily take this opportunity to run away.]
…
Xu Yu remembered some of them, and he was also curious about how similar he was to Zhu Wenxu that Xi Jiang had focused all his energy on him for seven years.
He replied to Wang Li: [I’m going.]
Siyans Square was in another district, some distance from where Xu Yu lived. He took a taxi to the station and headed straight for the central circle. When it was built, it was filled with noble and gorgeous things. Light pendants were scattered around like jewels. The shops were simple and high-end, and most of them sold luxury goods.
This place belongs to the Wanlai Group. Wang Li said that Zhu Wenxu was inspecting here because the center was holding a street dance competition.
Xu Yu walked through the crowd and saw the grand stage. The contestants were all children of a few years old, dressed in hip-hop fashion, dancing flexibly and coolly. Wang Li waved at him from a distance, and he thrust the extra milk tea in his hand towards him: "Why are you so slow?"
"You're coming to see it too?"
"Let's take some pictures. This kids' street dance is really popular online." Wang Li pointed at the crowd and said, "See those twins?"
"I saw it, what's wrong?"
"The child of the actress who won the Best Supporting Actress award at this year's Flower Awards. And next to her, the little girl wearing a purple and black hip-hop shirt and fake dreadlocks, is the child of the hottest rapper in the entertainment industry. Every child here has a famous parent."
"Then why hold it here? Shouldn't we have a program for second-generation stars?" Xu Yu wondered.
"You're absolutely right. This is just an initial appearance. It looks like an event, but it's actually preparation for future online marketing."
Xu Yu understood.
Wang Li looked around and lowered his voice: "It's held here. The subsequent programs are sponsored by Wanlai."
Xu Yu followed Wang Li's gaze upwards and saw Zhu Wenxu on the third floor. The suit he was wearing was a new cut and fit him better than his previous one.
Xu Yu felt that no matter how much he grew up, he would never be as noble as Zhu Wenxu. Was he too proud of himself to be like him?
Just as I was about to look away, Zhu Wenxu looked over at me with a cold gaze, devoid of any emotion.
The next second, Zhu Wenxu raised his hand and tapped the watch on his wrist.
Xu Yu subconsciously looked down at the time on his phone. It was just eight o'clock in the evening. Then the colorful balloons in the sky exploded, and dense ribbons floated down. The ribbons were tied with gifts in exquisite small boxes.
The crowd scrambled for the gift, making a cacophony of noise. It was a gift sent down from heaven specially for the event. Xu Yu was standing there when something hit him on the head, landing squarely in his palm.
A golden gift box.
"I got a gold necklace!"
“I’m here too!”
"I am a diamond ring."
“…”
Wang Li stood aside, his back teeth clenched, "Oh, eat spears."
Seeing Zhu Wenxu raise an eyebrow at him, Xu Yu immediately flattened the box and stuffed it into his pocket.
"Aren't you going to tear it down?" Wang Li looked at me with an expression that asked, "What are you doing?"
"No." Xu Yu said, "I'm not afraid of anything."
As preparations for the event began, the chaotic scene suddenly returned to normal. Xu Yu and Wang Li stood at the back, staring at the stage for a moment.
Wang Li took a picture of each of the children on stage. He wasn't a professional photographer, so finding the right angle wasn't typical. Xu Yu took one look, feeling a lump in her throat. She grabbed his camera and said, "Let me try."
Wang Li was surprised: "You can do it?"
Xu Yu raised the camera, half-knelt and looked up to take a picture of the child bending over and doing a handstand on the stage.
"Sure, Xu Yu, you're really good at filming? Have you learned it?"
Xu Yu shook his head: "Just an interest."
"Interest? Isn't this better than those photography masters? You are very talented."
Xu Yu felt a little embarrassed and didn't answer.
Wang Li took the opportunity to let Xu Yu take a few more photos. When the twins came on stage, Wang Li reminded him, "You should take more photos of these two children..."
He paused after he finished speaking, as if he had seen a ghost, and pulled Xu Yu. Xu Yu stumbled and almost fell down: "What's wrong?"
Wang Li pulled him behind him, and Xu Yu then saw someone coming from the front. He just looked up and quickly turned sideways.
"Didn't Xi Jiang go abroad? Logically, he should be back in two days." Wang Li exclaimed, "Xu Yu, hide quickly. He's gone upstairs. If he sees you, something bad will happen."
Xu Yu put the camera in Wang Li's hand, and without looking back, he squeezed into the crowd behind him and forced himself out.
Xi Jiang came back early?
For Zhu Wenxu?
Xu Yu took a deep breath and looked towards the second floor of the huge, decorated central building. Xi Jiang had already walked over to Zhu Wenxu. He was talking, but Zhu Wenxu didn't seem to want to respond.
Then Zhu Wenxu walked forward, and Xi Jiang followed without hesitation. The two of them were not much different in height, so Xi Jiang could easily keep up with him. He had a smile on his face all the time, without a trace of deliberateness, just like the photo in the Children's Palace album, where he smiled like this next to Zhu Wenxu.
Xu Yu took out his cell phone tremblingly and took pictures of the backs of the people on the second floor. Then he squatted down and found that his hands were shaking.
But he was also excited.
This can be used as evidence to get rid of Xi Jiang.
He ran out as fast as he could, the sound of the wind blowing in his ears. When he got home, his face was extremely pale. He washed his face casually and hid the photo as before.
He took out his cell phone and searched online for ways to get photos of a person from different angles.
Someone has posted a similar post, using a photo to create an AI image, and also introduced the three most useful but expensive websites.
Xu Yu searched for the hidden album in the network disk, downloaded the photo of Zhu Wenxu, took a screenshot separately, and then inserted it into Ai and entered keywords to get different angles.
Then thousands of photos appeared, many of them weird, unlikeable, and greasy.
Xu Yu clicked and looked at them one by one, stopped in front of a profile that looked very realistic, copied it and saved it.
He took a photo of himself in public and stuffed it in. Among the generated photos of himself, he found a photo with the same strong sense of reality.
He combined his own work with Zhu Wenxu's, and miraculously, they fit together.
