It was Friday night and it was the evening rush hour. The traffic on the road was stuck in a mess and the honking of horns was heard one after another.
Xue Du glanced at the car that had cut in front of him and replied, "Something delayed me just now."
"What the hell is going on?" the other side cursed.
"For my boyfriend." Xue Du's lips curled up.
"..." The man was silent for three seconds, then cursed, "Damn it! I hate people who have a partner the most!"
Xue Du raised his eyebrows, but remained silent and said, "Soon."
He stepped on the accelerator slowly and arrived at the bar half an hour later.
I swiped my card to go up to the private room on the top floor, and when I opened the door, I was greeted by the smell of alcohol.
The man in the flashy violet shirt had one hand on the sofa and his legs on the coffee table. When he heard the noise, he raised his elegant and handsome eyebrows and started to swear.
"You're wearing something so flashy, isn't it just a date?"
Xue Du smiled and said, "Pay attention to your image, Mr. Han."
“Isn’t it just a date?”
People who have never been on a date won’t understand.
His knowing, disgusting smile left Han Xu even more speechless: "Did you pay attention to your image when you told me to reduce my endorsement fee by 10 million last night?"
Han Xu had a good relationship with Xue Du's mother. They were only half a year apart in age, so they could be considered childhood friends. That was why Han Xu wanted to curse her mother.
Last time at Xue Ning’s birthday party, Xue Du asked him to pretend to be unfamiliar with Shen Yinan and talk about endorsements, and last night when the contract was initially drafted, he asked him to lower the price to sign the endorsement.
Do you think he's a double-Award winner like a carrot in the market? Anyone can bargain for a price!
Although the price was lowered, I still feel unhappy about it.
Xue Du took off his coat and folded his cuffs with slow and elegant movements.
A rich blue flashed by.
Han Xu paused. "Did you change your cufflinks? Was it a gift from your boyfriend?"
After the other party nodded, Han Xu rolled his eyes deeply.
Oh, so she's here to show off the gift her boyfriend gave her.
"You chased someone and stabbed your brother twice, you're such a bastard!" Han Xu said sarcastically, casually picking up a can of the cheapest beer and throwing it at him. "I don't care about the money, but it would be so embarrassing if it got out. You're going to treat me to a few drinks, right?"
"I'll make up the difference."
Xue Du hooked the pull ring with one finger and opened the beer. Foam gushed out. He looked at the foam and said calmly: "Of course, the beer is for you too."
"I deserve it!" Han Xu snorted, and then thought of something else. "Oh, by the way, did you bring me that thing from before?"
The two met not just to show off. Han Xu was busy with work, so he asked Xue Du to help him buy a few small pieces of jewelry at the auction, saying that they were going to give as gifts.
Xue Du said, "Just have the auction house send it to your home."
"F*ck, why are you sending it? My mom will definitely keep it for herself after seeing it. I want to give it to you..."
As he was speaking, Han Xu's cell phone rang.
Han Xu frowned the moment he saw the caller, and after hearing what the other party said, his tone became even more vicious: "Who am I with? ...Being photographed? It's my bad luck to be photographed. If you have the guts, keep telling tales."
After hanging up the phone, he cursed under his breath.
Xue Du: "Agent?"
"Who else could it be besides him?" Han Xu scratched his hair irritably. "He's already downstairs! He'll be there faster than my dog if he makes any noise!"
Han Xu's former agent was sent to jail for spreading rumors about an artist's sex scandal. His current agent was arranged by his father. Not only did they have to live in next door rooms, they even had to go to and from get off work together.
Originally, Han Xu was always photographed when he went out because of his former agent. Now it is much better, but Young Master Han is used to a carefree and happy life. He hates being controlled the most and is particularly resentful of the new agent.
He drank a few more glasses of wine and managed to calm down.
Seeing Xue Du lowering his head to play with his phone, he asked unhappily, "What are you doing? Are you still chatting with your boyfriend?"
"Xue Ning," Xue Du said, "asked me where I was, and she happened to have something for me."
"Xue Ning is here, so I'll leave."
When Han Xu heard this, he immediately stood up and took his coat, complaining as he walked out: "Ever since my sister started dating your sister, she has ignored me. She only puts on a smile when she receives red envelopes. Now I get annoyed just by looking at Xue Ning."
He didn't know how many times he had said that conclusion: "My sister was led astray by your sister!"
Xue Du twirled his wine glass on his knuckles, speaking casually, "My sister has been a bad person since she was a child. Why don't you ask Han Yu to dump her? Teach her a lesson?"
"I dare? My mother will beat me to death! You are going to break up my family!" Han Xu was furious. "I have been tricked to death by you siblings!"
He walked away cursing.
Not long after Han Xu left, Xue Ning came.
She sat down opposite Xue Du, threw a folder over, and asked directly, "Why are you looking for someone to investigate Gu Yan's cheating record?"
Xue Du opened the folder, looked through it for a while, and then closed it.
"I'm thinking about whether to be a bad guy."
"Exposure?!" Xue Ning immediately guessed Xue Du's thoughts and raised his voice.
Of course, it's exciting.
She runs an entertainment company! She does a lot of marketing and hype, isn't that a perfect fit for her profession?
Although he didn't know what grudge Gu Yan and Xue Du had, he finally had the chance to kill Xue Du. Xue Ning stroked his chin and said loudly, "This is a bit difficult. How about this, 8.88 million, I'll reluctantly take care of it for you."
Xue Du glanced at her and rubbed his brows: "Maybe after a while."
He sighed imperceptibly.
Now he couldn’t judge how Shen Yinan felt about Gu Yan, so he didn’t dare to act rashly.
The boy's watery eyes looked like a wary little rabbit. If you touched him lightly, you would be afraid of scaring him.
Although I didn't feel that the two of them were still involved at noon, what if he still had feelings for Gu Yan...
Having finally made some progress, Xue Du would not allow any possibility of sabotage between them.
Xue Ning stared at Xue Du's expression, took a sip of wine, and said with an expression that said, "I've been through this and I understand everything." "Are you worried that your boyfriend will be angry?"
Xue Du looked at him coldly: "...Are you free?"
Xue Ning cupped her hands over her heart, pretending to be sad: "I care about you, brother. You cried so hard last year, and I felt so bad."
Xue Du: “…”
Feeling distressed? Xue Ning loves to watch the fun, and she is the first one to gloat over other people's misfortunes. It's a good thing that she doesn't get hurt.
But...it was my fault that I drank too much before and accidentally talked about things related to Shen Yinan, and got caught.
In order to let Xue Ning keep the secret, he had no choice but to agree to tell the other party about the progress of his relationship.
Xue Du rubbed his brows, a rare hint of disappointment in his eyes: "...He didn't recognize me."
Xue Ning smiled, and leaned over to stare at his brother's expression with a gloating look on his face: "You really don't have any impression at all?"
The young man leaned back on the sofa, looking up at the colorful lights of the bar. After a while, he squeezed out a syllable from his throat: "...Hmm."
As expected, the person on the other side laughed even louder.
Xue Du felt as if the veins on his forehead jumped twice.
Xue Du nodded his fingertips on the sofa. Just as he was about to say something, his phone screen lit up.
