Chapter 10 Being pushed against the wall by a little blind man. All these vicious cannon fodders are like this...
"Have you heard about the Chi family incident?"
"I heard that. I didn't expect Chi Jue to not be the biological child of the Chi family. This is going to be interesting."
"With Chi Yan here, what good show can there be?"
"You don't know this, right? I've seen many people like Chi Yeman," a voice said disdainfully, "They finally climbed up from the bottom, but they are desperate to curry favor with the powerful. In order to fight for the family property, people like him can do anything. They are both stupid and evil."
"The Chi family are not stupid. Chi Jue is definitely more trusted in the Chi family. It would be strange if the real young master could keep his composure. He must have caused some trouble," another person continued. "When I passed by just now, I heard Chi Jue and Chi Yeman arguing about something..."
"Speaking of which, although the situation is a little different, it reminds me of the one from the Xu family. I heard that when that person was first adopted into the Xu family, the young masters of the Xu family bullied him a lot. In the middle of winter, they asked someone to find a pair of headphones in the snow, locked him in the house, and released a Tibetan mastiff, which almost killed him..."
The sounds behind gradually faded away.
It's just some idle gossip that is not worth paying attention to.
Normally, Secretary Chen would have just listened to the first two words and not taken them seriously. But today, because the protagonist of the story was involved, he listened to a few more sentences and unexpectedly gained something.
But I just heard about it and it's over.
The Chi family’s affairs have nothing to do with them. As for what happened later, Xu Huaiting won’t take it to heart, and Secretary Chen won’t either.
"Sir, they said Chairman Zhou and his team have arrived."
......
Whether it was squeezing in next to Chi's father and mother to socialize with others, or pouring wine for himself to flatter Chi Jue, Ye Man couldn't do it.
Chi Yan saw that his face was pale. If Ye Man had not insisted that he was fine, he would have been escorted home by a private doctor by now.
Even the system repeatedly told him not to try to steal the wine glass.
The system voice was trembling: "Ye, Yeman, there is a champagne tower next to it... Move two steps to the right, away from it."
Ye Man silently retracted his hand.
In the private room, Ye Man was bullying Chi Jue when no one was around.
"Brother Chi Jue, I want to eat that cake."
When the cake is brought, Ye Man should deliberately slip and drop the cake on the ground in front of Chi Jue. Chi Jue will be angry, but will continue to be tortured by him while swallowing his anger.
In the early part of the story, the protagonist felt guilty towards him, so he had been enduring his secret troubles and bad temper, until Ye Man drugged Meng Yao and climbed into his bed, and then he was really disappointed with him.
However, when Chi Jue really brought the cake to Ye Man, Ye Man swallowed hard at the fragrant cake, reluctant to give it up.
When the waiter brought it in, he specifically introduced it, saying that it was a new product developed by the chef, and that the chocolate used was freshly ground cocoa beans that were air-shipped, and there were also a bunch of ingredients that he didn't understand. This... Such a sweet little cake, is it also going to be thrown on the floor?
The system noticed that Ye Man's hands were shaking when he took the cake.
Confused, he asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Ye Man trembled and said, "I am trying to control myself, for fear that if it falls, I will not be able to resist catching it with my mouth."
System: "...promising!"
Ye Man: “Wow…”
No matter what, our status as vicious cannon fodder cannot be ruined by a small piece of cake!
Ye Man gritted his teeth, stamped his feet, and raised his chin with high spirits, "Chi Jue, I tell you——"
A spoonful of candied raspberries covered in chocolate mousse was suddenly stuffed into the open mouth.
His tongue subconsciously wrapped around the spoon and licked the cream off it. Ye Man licked his lips again, not leaving out a single bit of it.
Chi Jue said calmly: "You should call me brother."
Ye Man raised his hand, turned it in mid-air and retracted it, and called out honestly, "Brother Chi Jue."
Ye Man felt a little guilty when he took the plate that Chi Jue handed to him.
"Anyway, the goal is to bully Chi Jue. Don't be so rigid as a Tong. Even if I don't destroy this small piece of cake, I can still bully Chi Jue," someone assured with a reliable look, "Believe me, Brother Tong."
The system sneered: "Oh? Then you bully one of them and let me see."
Ye Man was ruthless and took a large piece of cake in revenge. He pointed his finger and said angrily, "Brother Chi Jue, I want the piece next to it too."
He wanted to dominate all the small cakes here and not leave any for Chi Jue!
The system typed a smiling emoticon in his mind.
Ye Man, who was full of fighting spirit, suddenly felt disappointed and held his head: "I'm sorry, it's all my fault that my family was poor when I was young, I never saw good things, and I'm blind, I don't know how many years I can live..."
"Let me remind you that you are blind, not terminally ill," the system said, unable to bear it any longer. "Shut your mouth and eat your food!"
After living long enough, you will see vicious cannon fodder who go to great lengths to make a miserable living for a piece of cake.
Ye Man scooped out a large piece of cake, looking sad and pitiful.
Hehe, it’s delicious!
The boy had cream on the corner of his mouth and his pretty face was smiling because Chi Jue fed him cake. His eyes, which were usually calm, lit up little by little under the dim light, and were more beautiful than the gems worth tens of millions in Chi Jue's hand.
The round, droopy puppy eyes looked at him eagerly, and in a soft voice, she called out to Brother Chi Jue, asking him to bring her a cake...
Chi Jue silently brought him another piece.
As the younger brother of the Chi family, Chi Jue's knowledge of his younger brother comes entirely from himself.
But Ye Man is completely different from him.
She is scared to be alone, and keeps asking her brother to accompany her.
He was in a bad mood and just now he insisted on seeing the gemstone brooch Meng Yao gave him. Chi Jue tried to persuade him, saying that he didn't want to accept it and planned to have it sent back in the same condition, so he couldn't play with it. Ye Man then started to lose his temper and asked him if he didn't like him.
Chi Jue was almost amused by him. What was going on?
Originally, Chi Jue was wondering if he was picking on him on purpose. His eyes turned several degrees colder, and even his tone became lower.
Although Chi Jue felt that he owed Ye Man, the education he received over the years would not make him just endure like the protagonist in the melodrama.
He could tolerate Ye Man making things difficult for him in other aspects, but Meng Yao's matter involved the Chi family's stance and status, and involved family and principles. He would not give in blindly.
He was prepared to face greater conflicts and disputes, but after taking a bite of the cake, Ye Man became obedient.
He threw the jewel brooch behind his mind. The boy sat obediently, close to him, with his furry head tilted back, waiting for him to continue feeding him.
Chi Jue didn't move for a long time. He couldn't see and didn't know that Chi Jue was looking at him. He anxiously pulled his sleeve and urged: "Brother, I want another flavor of cake, the one he mentioned just now, pistachio."
Chi Jue's fingers felt inexplicably itchy.
Just as he was about to raise his hand, his cell phone vibrated, drawing his attention away.
Chi Jue looked down and his expression changed slightly.
"Xiao Man, I have something to do and I need to go out for a while. You stay here and don't wander around. I'll be back soon."
System: "Meng Yao sent him a message asking him out for a date. Afterwards, the two had a quarrel. Chi Jue went to the bathroom to wash his face and calm down. It's time for you to appear. The plot has arrived. When he goes out, you will follow him."
Ye Man nodded.
He will not fail this time.
......
He finally avoided Chi Yan's sight and stood in the empty corridor holding his cane.
Ye Man turned his head and leaned against the wall tremblingly.
Her voice started to sob: "Tong, Brother Tong, I can't find Chi Jue."
"Which restroom did he go to?"
"I didn't mean to do that, but he walked so fast that I couldn't find him..."
In order to avoid being discovered and unable to use his cane, Ye Man could not keep up with Chi Jue.
Even though the system knew that this little liar was just pretending to be pitiful out of habit, it couldn't help but soften its heart to the panicked Ye Man: "Don't cry yet, we'll look for it slowly, and we'll find it eventually. I'll help you check, but if we need to search a large area of the toilet, according to the Privacy Protection Act, I need to apply for it, which will take some time, so wait for me."
The system's sound disappeared.
Ye Man hummed in response. Even though the system was running very fast, it didn't hear anything.
He rubbed his eyes hard, stood up, and walked slowly, feeling the wall.
He is not the kind of person who just waits, he will try his best no matter what.
As I walked, a familiar color block appeared in my blurry vision.
He narrowed his eyes hard and followed quietly.
......
Xu Huaiting stood by the sink and washed his hands.
There was a very light clicking sound behind me, followed by the sound of tiptoeing footsteps approaching from behind.
He didn't even raise his eyelids, his lips showing three parts sneer and seven parts indifference, just waiting for the sneak attacker to come in, then he turned around and grabbed the attacker by the hair and pushed his head into the pool.
He has been civilized for a long time, and some people have forgotten the pain.
How dare you send someone here...
“Ouch!”
The visitor uttered a suppressed cry of surprise.
.......
.........?
Ye Man hit her toe on the trash can.
The pain made his eyes and nose turn red.
If he hadn't been accustomed to enduring pain, he would have jumped to the sky by now.
It hurt, it really hurt. There was a sourness in the pain, which went up to the top of his head and made him cry.
But as a vicious cannon fodder, how can I cry first when I do something bad?
After stubbing his toes three times and bumping into the wall twice, Ye Man finally came to Xu Huaiting with a strong and aggrieved expression.
"Pa" she pushed the man against the wall in front of the pool.
He was half a head shorter than Xu Huaiting, and in order to highlight his arrogance, he held his face high.
Xu Huaiting could clearly see the shallow teeth marks on his red lips from biting in pain. The boy's eyes were red, his nose was also red from hitting the wall, and there was a small bruise on the side of his cheek.
He came up to him and sniffed him, moving his nose like a puppy.
Smelling the familiar scent of cream, Ye Man felt relieved.
"Chi Jue, I'm telling you, you'd better hand over the gemstone brooch that Meng Yao gave you," he raised his chin again, "There are only two of us here, no matter what I do to you, no one will come to save you."
Thinking of the hardships he had experienced along the way, Ye Man's eyes became a little moist again.
He just wanted to do something bad, why is it so difficult?
He sniffed, his voice choking a little: "I'm telling you, I'm really powerful. If you... offend me, you'll have a hard time in the Chi family in the future..."
Xu Huaiting lowered his eyes and looked at the young man who came up on tiptoe. His tense muscles slowly relaxed and he was eerily silent for a moment.
