Chapter 399 The trending topics exploded, Zhou Lu went crazy.
When I woke up, the spot beside me was empty, with only a faint warmth remaining. I knew without a doubt that he had gone to cook porridge.
Xie Nanzhi rubbed her eyes, sat up, put on her clothes, and went downstairs.
As soon as I stepped outside, I heard a familiar commotion coming from downstairs. It was Nian Zheng's clear shouts mixed with Nian Chi's steady voice.
Xie Nanzhi walked down the stairs to the first floor and saw Nian Zheng and Nian Chi sitting at the dining table preparing to eat. Her eyes were full of smiles. "You two are so energetic."
Just then, Wei Chi walked in carrying a plate of freshly fried eggs. Seeing the two children, he raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Go wash your hands, the porridge will be ready soon."
The entire villa instantly became lively.
After washing her hands, Nianzheng chatted with her about the interesting things that had happened in the past two days, and even showed her a picture book. "Mom, look, this is you, this is Dad, and these two children are my brother and me."
Nianzheng has not received any formal art training, but it is clear that she is very talented in this area, and her paintings are skillful and artistic at a young age.
At this moment, Wei Chizheng brought the porridge over and, seeing Nian Zheng's painting, said, "Our Zhengbao must have inherited your talent in painting."
He used a soup ladle to scoop up the porridge, and Xie Nanzhi agreed with him, saying, "Your daughter inherited from me, and your son inherited from you."
Nian Zheng has a talent for painting, but Nian Chi is more interested in finance.
Clearly, they inherited their talents from both of them.
Nianchi glanced at Wei Chizheng, somewhat unconvinced, "Mom, I will surpass him."
Xie Nanzhi smiled and said, "Okay, Mom believes you."
Suddenly, Xie Nanzhi's phone on the table lit up.
She clicked on it and saw that it was a small group chat with three people.
It was a video posted by Xibei. When Xie Nanzhi clicked on it, she was dumbfounded.
Isn't this the video of Zhou Mubin hugging a tree and acting like a horny guy by the roadside last night? My god, it's even more cringe-worthy than the actual video!
It seems the angle chosen last night was wrong, otherwise she wouldn't have noticed Zhou Mubin's expression was so accurate.
On the other side, Zhou Mubin sat up, rubbing his throbbing temples. He had just reached for his phone to check the time when dozens of unread messages and over a dozen missed calls popped up on the screen, instantly bringing him back to his senses.
Zhou Mubin's heart skipped a beat, and his fingertips trembled as he clicked on the trending topics list.
#Lawyer Zhou's inappropriate behavior in the street#
#The best lawyer in Hong Kong goes crazy late at night#
#The second son of the wealthy Zhou family is having a blast#
Three terms prominently occupied the top three spots on the trending searches, followed by the bright red word "Explosive".
He clicked on the first trending topic, and the pinned item was a high-definition video.
In the video, he is disheveled, hugging and rubbing against a large tree in the green belt, while mumbling something indistinctly.
There were even embarrassing shots of him trying to take off his pants, taken from tricky angles that clearly captured his flushed face.
The comments section below the video has exploded.
[I never expected Attorney Zhou to have this side to her; isn't she usually quite aloof?]
[Help! The way he's hugging and gnawing on a tree is hilarious! This is a scene from the year.]
Judging from Attorney Zhou's expression, he seems to be enjoying himself quite a bit. How much counterfeit alcohol did he drink?
[Could it be that the second young master of the Zhou family has been drugged, causing him to lose his composure like this?]
The screen was flooded with comments, all sorts of jokes, speculations, and even malicious smears, making Zhou Mubin feel dizzy and causing his phone to fall onto the bed sheet with a "thud".
I woke up to find the sky had fallen...
Zhou Mubin's mind went blank.
He has been in the legal profession for many years and has always been a shrewd and composed man. When has he ever made such a fool of himself?
Just then, Zhou Weicheng called, and Zhou Mubin answered it with a forced smile.
Zhou Weicheng tried his best to control his emotions, "You're awake? You saw the trending topics, right?"
Zhou Mubin didn't reply; he was so angry he felt like his lungs were about to explode.
Zhou Weicheng finally couldn't help but laugh, "Brother, you're so adorable, hahaha, you're killing me with laughter, I've laughed away all my good karma for today."
Zhou Mubin's eyes were bloodshot. He pressed his temples and said, "You really are my brother. You still have time to laugh at me. It seems the company's stock price drop isn't too bad."
Zhou Weicheng suppressed a laugh, "It's all within a controllable range, it'll recover in a few days. I just want to know, what were you doing last night..."
Zhou Mubin was furious. "Brother, is this something you should be concerned about right now? Shouldn't you be thinking about how to get these trending topics removed?"
"How interesting! Apart from when you were five years old, picking up sheep droppings and eating them like chocolate beans, these are the only two funny videos."
I'm impressed.
Zhou Mubin felt like banging his head against a wall. "Don't ever say you're my brother again."
Zhou Weicheng laughed for a while, then stopped joking. "I'm not teasing you anymore. I have to go to the company now to explain the 'hugging the tree in heat' thing for you. I'll also try to get it trending. You don't need to go to the law firm for the next couple of days."
Zhou Mubin now feels like dying whenever he thinks about going to the law firm and facing the suppressed laughter of the staff and the questioning looks of the clients.
He lay down again, grabbed a pillow and covered his face, his voice muffled, "I know."
Zhou Weicheng thought to himself, "It seems my younger brother has really embarrassed himself this time. He's usually so proud, but this time he's completely dejected."
Zhou Weicheng coughed lightly, "By the way, you kept muttering a name in the video, and it sounds like Cui Xiao to me?"
Zhou Mubin stiffened slightly when Cui Xiao was mentioned.
He threw back the pillow, his eyes filled with mixed emotions. "She... must have seen the video too."
“They definitely saw it. It’s such a big trending topic, it’s hard not to see it.” Zhou Weicheng paused. “But it doesn’t matter, they don’t care about you anyway, just treat it as a joke.”
It's like killing someone by breaking their spirit.
Zhou Mubin was completely emotional.
After finishing his call with Zhou Weicheng, Zhou Mubin had no desire to sleep. He lay down for a while, then suddenly jumped out of bed.
He was dressed in sportswear, wearing a baseball cap, and a black face mask, fully armed, as if afraid someone would recognize him.
Zhou Mubin left the apartment and drove directly to the East Asia Group building.
He called Cui Xiao, but she didn't answer.
Zhou Mubin simply sent a message: "[Cui Xiao, I'm giving you five minutes to come downstairs and see me. Otherwise, I'll tell everyone that the person I called out to in the video was you.]"
After sending the message, Cui Xiao arrived downstairs in less than five minutes.
The window of the black Maybach slowly rolled down, revealing Zhou Mubin's eyes, which were as cold as if covered with a layer of ice.
He glanced up at Cui Xiao, who was walking towards the car in high heels, his gaze lingering on her slightly disheveled hair for a couple of seconds. His tone was devoid of any warmth. "It's faster than I expected."
Cui Xiao looked at him with her dark eyes. After receiving Zhou Mubin's call, she guessed his purpose.
She did indeed leave the disoriented Zhou Mubin on the roadside last night, but she never imagined he would do something so outrageous and shameful.
Cui Xiao watched the trending video this morning once, and she couldn't bear to look at it anymore.
"Get in the car."
