Xu Yu stayed with Xiao Meng and Ke Yu until the evening, and listened to two romantic and sweet love stories. The twists and turns in the story were comparable to the relationship magazines he had read before. They were complicated and messy, and the words he read out were completely unrecognizable when put together.
"Bye Yu Yu."
"Bye-Bye!"
Xiao Meng was so engrossed in the conversation that she affectionately called him Yu Yu. Xu Yu dragged himself upstairs, washed up, and lay down on the bed. Having not slept during the day, he felt particularly sleepy and fell into a daze.
Halfway through, he felt someone pick him up, cover him with a blanket, wipe his face, and press his warm lips against his cheek.
It has been like this for the past few days. Xu Yu can hardly hold on until Zhu Wenxu comes home, and he can clearly feel that he is coming home later and later.
The online news about the lawsuit between the Zhu and Xi families was getting more and more intense. As for the outcome, Xu Yu did not bother to search. He would go out to play with Ke Yu and Xiao Meng when he had nothing to do. They played Werewolf, which they had never played before, took photos of a nine-square grid, and even played catch dolls in the amusement park together.
They also watched the children's street dance variety show that Wang Li had mentioned before, which was invested by Wanlai Group. Xiao Meng was so happy after watching it that she had already discussed with Ke Yu to adopt a little girl and send her to learn street dance professionally, and show it to them every day when she got home.
Xu Yu just felt that the child would be exhausted to death.
At the end of November, the weather turned cold and it rained continuously. Xu Yu lost the enthusiasm to go out and play, so he was dragged to the hotel to play Landlord with two people. At first, he had never played before and kept losing. Later, he slowly started to win. As soon as it got dark, he took a taxi back.
Xu Yu searched about Ke Yu. The previous popularity had passed. She could even be seen in videos promoting her beauty. People called her "business" because she was beautiful, but Ke Yu had no intention of going back to work.
"Will you be lonely at home alone?" Xiao Meng asked, "Why don't you stay here?"
"Falling in love with someone who doesn't come home~" Ke Yu said, "How long has it been since Zhu Wenxu came home?"
Xu Yu smiled and said, "He goes home every day."
Ke Yu patted his chest with an expression that said, "Brother, I understand you." "I understand you. When I was in love, I would sit at the door all day waiting for Xiao Meng to go to work."
Xiao Meng went over and kissed Ke Yu: "My baby is the best."
Xu Yu couldn't laugh anymore.
"I don't think I've ever asked you before, but do you know that Zhu Wenxu is almost done with his lawsuit?"
"I know."
Ke Yu patted his shoulder and said, "It won't be long before he is demoted like Xi Jiang, and you will all be free."
Xu Yu leaned over: "Next?"
Ke Yu pursed his lips, realizing he'd said the wrong thing. Xiao Meng, who was standing next to him, patted Ke Yu and spoke first, "The two families are old friends. Although the Xi family was the first to break things off, the Zhu family has always been easygoing and has decided that this time it's Zhu Wenxu's fault. If they continue to force their way through, they'll definitely abandon Zhu Wenxu."
"Does the Zhu family have other children?"
Ke Yu hummed, "There's a second sister who was born in the United States. She speaks Chinese and seems to have never been to China. I've never met her either. My aunt and uncle go to the United States every year to spend the New Year with her."
Xu Yu was still stiff.
If his parents went to the United States to take care of their daughter, how did Zhu Wenxu survive? How did he manage to stay home during the annual Lunar New Year?
Would he cry? Would he miss his mother as much as I did? Would he long to set off fireworks as much as I did?
Xu Yu stumbled forward, his stomach pounding with cold air. He called Assistant Zhou, and it took him a long time to utter a complete sentence: "Where is Zhu Wenxu?"
Assistant Zhou hesitated, but when he heard Xu Yu crying, he couldn't help but tell the name of the restaurant.
The moment the phone was hung up, Xu Yu got into a taxi. His mind was in a mess, but he thought about all the suffering Zhu Wenxu had endured.
He was not found at all. He was just a tool used by the Zhu family as a substitute for Zhu Baiming.
He has his own hobbies and can draw with deep thoughts that even adults may not possess. If he continues to develop in this direction, he will probably be a very good painter in the future.
Better than anyone else.
Xu Yu paid the bill and stood in front of the restaurant door. He pushed open the glass door and walked in. He saw Assistant Zhou on the second floor. He went upstairs with tears streaming down his face. He went upstairs step by step with red eyes.
The conversation squeezed into my ears.
"Are you sure you don't regret doing this?" A very charming and slow voice.
"Of course, this wasn't the purpose of our initial collaboration?" Zhu Wenxu said slowly, "Sister, congratulations on winning everything."
"Where are you going after this?"
“Traveling with my lover.”
"That sounds like a good wish." She smiled sweetly, "Ah Xu, I support you."
"I'm glad you call me that," Zhu Wenxu said, "and I support all your decisions."
"We are ourselves, not living for others." She stood up and shook out her gorgeous skirt. "I will cover for you from now on."
"thank you."
She walked forward and saw Xu Yu standing on the stairs. She glanced at Zhu Wenxu again and understood what he meant: "Whose rabbit is this?"
Xu Yu looked at her. She had a slender figure and was wearing a black Lolita long dress without a crinoline. It made her look noble and cool. Her facial features were confident and bold, and her skin was fair. She had a completely different temperament from Zhu Wenxu and was full of charm. Just standing there, she looked like someone in a painting.
Zhu Wenxu saw Xu Yu was stunned for a moment, and reached out to wipe his tears: "Why are you crying?"
Xu Yu lowered his head and turned it away, feeling embarrassed to carry it back in front of so many people.
"This is my lover, Xu Yu," he introduced them. "This is my sister, Zhu Fuge."
Zhu Fuge looked at Xu Yu and found the child unexpectedly adorable: "Since we've met, why not have a meal?"
Xu Yu almost lost his balance, and Zhu Wenxu held him up: "Slow down, do you want to go?"
Xu Yu nodded after being stared at.
"Vincent, go book the restaurant next door. I don't want to see anyone." Zhu Fuge said, "Zhou Ming, you've had dinner with them, right? Order their favorite dishes. The food shouldn't take more than half an hour to be served. I don't like waiting."
Vincent and Zhou Ming: "Yes."
Following them out, Xu Yu hesitated to speak, but Zhu Wenxu led him into the restaurant. After they sat down, he noticed Xu Yu's expression and poured him some water. "Did Ke Yu say that?"
Xu Yu: "I told her to."
Zhu Wenxu rubbed his head: "I'm fine."
Zhu Fuge looked at Xu Yu and said, "Your rabbit is very afraid of me."
"No." Xu Yu said, "I just don't know what to say."
It's like meeting the parents.
"I can probably guess why you came to see Zhu Wenxu. Are you worried about his future?" Zhu Fuge took the water from Zhu Wenxu. "He won't be affected at all."
Zhu Wenxu confessed: "This is a trap."
Zhu Wenxu was relieved and didn't want to hide it from Xu Yu anymore. Zhu Fuge continued, "The ambush ten years ago was all for this moment, this joy. As his lover, you should be happy too."
Xu Yu could understand part of it.
"Revenge on the Zhu family?"
"Yes." Zhu Fuge said nonchalantly, "Just for this moment."
Xu Yu was a little confused: "Didn't they say that the Zhu family treats you very well? They go to the United States every year to spend the New Year with you."
Zhu Wenxu understood, and his heart was filled with something: "Is this why you came to me? I have nothing to do with it. I wasn't lonely at that time."
"You didn't tell me anything."
Zhu Wenxu: "I don't know how to tell you, the whole thing is too complicated."
"How complicated?"
"What does the name Zhu Wenxu mean? Rabbit, do you know?" Zhu Fuge said in a faint voice, "Our brother appeared on a show before he died and earned a world-famous title. The competition numbers at the time were called serial numbers, and he was number one, and he also won first place on that show."
Xu Yu opened his eyes wide.
Zhu Fuge smiled and said, "So he's called Zhu Wenxu, because that pitiful and selfish couple is using this method to commemorate their beloved eldest son."
Zhu Wenxu just smiled and wiped his tears away: "I won't call you by that name anymore."
Xu Yu hesitated for a while, but still asked.
"Is the Zhu family not good to my sister?"
If ordinary people asked, Zhu Fuge would definitely be angry, but Xu Yu called her sister over and over again, even more frequently than her own brother, so she didn't feel anything when asked about it.
"I was raised in the United States, never worried about food and clothing, but my parents didn't teach me anything about finance, and university didn't allow me to start a business." Zhu Fuge put down her water glass. "Rabbit, what do you think this means?"
Xu Yu didn't dare to say it.
"They kept me in captivity on purpose, hoping to spoil me. They don't even have a better relationship than me and my Filipino maid. They say they're good to me, but they only came to me during the Chinese New Year after my brother left, because my face bears some resemblance to his." Zhu Fuge smiled again, "Didn't you notice my name? It's no different from Ah Xu, right?"
Zhu Fuge.
Blessings bro.
Xu Yu was shocked, as if he had peeked into the inner circle of wealthy people, and he didn't react for a long time.
"We've completed the entire handover during this period, and my parents have signed a contract, handing over everything about Zhu's to my sister. Later, she became the chairman and president of Zhu's," Zhu Wenxu said. "They also signed an agreement to sever ties with me. I no longer belong to the Zhu family."
"You endured everything alone?"
"I'm very happy." Zhu Wenxu smiled, "I'm free just like you."
Xu Yu bit her lower lip and said, "You're suffering, Zhu Wenxu."
Zhu Wen wrote in his preface: "After all the hardships, we finally have a happy ending"
Everything he wanted to say was contained in his tone. He was trembling, and he trembled with him. They looked at each other and encouraged each other, and only then did they swallow back the bitterness.
"Stop being so corny." Zhu Fuge cleared her throat. "You can eat now."
They enjoyed the meal very much. Zhu Fuge personally sent them back home. Seeing the environment of the residential complex, she was very disgusted: "You should improve your taste, Ah Xu. At least live in a big sunny villa, right?"
"It's quite sunny during the day." Zhu Wenxu said, "Let's go first."
Zhu Fuge nodded: "Sweet dreams tonight."
"Good night in advance, sister." Zhu Wenxu replied.
Xu Yu waved: "Goodbye, sister."
Zhu Fuge waved to them and watched the two figures disappear, her gaze remaining for a long time.
His younger brother. This half-brother, whose blood was thick with her still-living older brother, was the most trustworthy person in her later life. At first, she hesitated and struggled, after all, there were countless cases of illegitimate children inciting rebellion. But over time, she realized that she was just as pitiful as him, being groomed to become an eternal substitute, constantly praying for the dead's blessings for the rest of his life.
When they first met and discussed for less than twenty minutes, when Ah Xu said he didn't want anything, Zhu Fuge mocked him. Now it seems that he really doesn't want anything.
Including the three cars that the Zhu family gave him, the car keys were all returned on the night of the breakup.
Zhu Fuge saw the crocodile tears and the devastation in the couple's eyes when Ah Xu turned around, and she couldn't feel any sympathy at all.
This years-long suppression and replacement has come to an end.
"When I came here, I hated the sky here." Zhu Fuge crossed her legs. "Now I feel that America is not even a bit inferior to here."
"Yes miss, you have found your place."
"Let's go."
Zhu Fuge put on glasses.
Vincent pretended not to hear the sob in her voice and silently turned up the volume of the music.
In the stairwell, his warmth pressed against hers. After just a brief kiss, Xu Yu realized that Zhu Wenxu's body temperature was incredibly hot. Without hiding anything, he reached out and led Xu Yu along, one hand caressing the back of her head and kissing it, while the other pressed a fingerprint to open the door.
They both fell onto the sofa, their breath already disordered. Before Xu Yu could catch his breath, the kiss came again, hooking Xu Yu's fingers and entwining them.
The sky was as dark as ink, and the wind slapped against the windows, making a rustling sound. They were huddled on the sofa, wrapped in a blanket and flipping through an anime magazine. Xu Yu noticed movement at the window and strode to the balcony.
“It’s snowing.”
Zhu Wenxu hurriedly stood up and covered him with a blanket: "Wear more clothes."
"I'm not cold." Xu Yu rubbed his hands. "This is the first snow that's all the rage online."
Zhu Wenxu kissed him: "People who kiss on the day of the first snow will be locked together for the rest of their lives, until they grow old and die."
"I know." Xu Yu thought, "But some people also said that we will break up."
"I don't understand. I want a kiss."
Xu Yu smiled.
Zhu Wenxu kissed him again.
