Chapter 49 She Finally Knows
When Wen Nian went out, he pretended nothing had happened.
Chu Yuxuan looked at her: "Found it?"
"Um."
She walked silently behind him, her composure gone. "Where are you hurt? Just pull your clothes up a little from behind. I'll try to close my eyes."
Chu Yuxuan was stunned for a moment and did as she said.
While applying the medicine, Wen Nian clearly felt that his heartbeat was a little abnormal, and tried to reduce her presence as much as possible.
She lamented silently, what a sin.
As if realizing something, Chu Yuxuan suddenly said, "Why aren't you talking?"
"Oh." Wen Nian quickly made an excuse: "I was just distracted and thinking about work."
He smiled and jokingly said, "It seems you really care about your work and you often think about it even after get off work."
Well...she does use work as an excuse whenever she doesn't know what to say.
Feeling a little guilty, he said, "Yes, I really love this job. It's very interesting."
Chu Yuxuan: "That's great. It's a blessing to find a job you like."
When Wen Nian heard the word "like" coming out of his mouth, her scalp immediately went numb.
The next second, something even more terrifying happened.
"Do you remember the girl I had a crush on last time?"
Wen Nian paused.
The air then solidified.
When he was wondering about turning back, she responded promptly: "Remember."
Chu Yuxuan nodded, paused, and said, "I plan to find an opportunity to confess my feelings to her. What do you think?"
?
How is it? She feels very bad.
Wen Nian smiled awkwardly: "Didn't you say last time that there was a big age gap between you and her?"
"If they're not particularly close, I think you should reconsider. She might just see you as a brother, you know? That kind of family relationship, that's not a good idea."
Chu Yuxuan didn't reply for a long time, and finally just said "hmm" lightly.
Seeing that he didn't want to continue, Wen Nian breathed a sigh of relief. When she finished applying the medicine, the doorbell rang.
"I'll open the door."
Xu Zhijian was standing outside the door.
Wen Nian: "What are you doing here?"
"It's time, I'll pick you up." He said as he tried to look into the house.
"Don't look." She warned and closed the door: "Wait, I'll be out soon."
In fact, Xu Zhijian's arrival is a kind of salvation for her now.
Wen Nian returned to the house and apologized to Chu Yuxuan, "Well, I have to go first. My friend brought me here. He has something urgent to do. Is this the dog? I'll take it with me."
"Yes, thank you for your help." Chu Yuxuan was about to get up to see her off, but she stopped him: "Don't move, I can walk by myself, bye."
After saying that, he left like a fly.
After the person left, Chu Yuxuan silently picked up the ointment on the table and tightened the bottle cap.
Beneath her messy hair lies a pair of calm eyes.
He knew she must have seen it, and was not surprised by her reaction.
From the moment he had decided on this a few years ago, he knew the outcome very clearly, so he never bothered her.
I have been angry and restrained, trying to turn back, but in the end I was destroyed by desire again and again.
Perhaps it was because of what she said a few days ago that gave him the courage to try. Even though he knew there was an abyss in front of him, he still wanted to try.
So what if we never see each other again?
At this moment, the stone that had been pressing on my heart for a long time seemed to finally be released.
Chu Yuxuan smiled for the first time in a long time and played with the ointment.
It turned out that it was not as scary as she had imagined. She was even a little excited because she finally knew the truth.
——
"Why are you holding a dog?" Xu Zhijian asked as he followed Wen Nian.
"It's Chu Yuxuan. He hasn't been feeling well these past two days, so I'll help take care of him," Wen Nian said.
He snorted, his tone full of sourness: "Then you can't be partial to one and ignore the other. Don't forget my Xiaoxiao. If he loses even a pound of meat, I will never let you go."
Wen Nian was speechless: "It's losing weight anyway."
"I didn't allow it to lose weight."
"Stop talking so much nonsense. The one I raised should listen to me. Drive quickly." She was already very upset and didn't have the energy to argue with him.
Along the way, Wen Nian was preoccupied. She felt that she could no longer look Chu Yuxuan in the eye.
It’s so annoying.
Why are there so many troubles?
——
The days passed in this ordinary manner for more than half a month.
"Have you heard? That useless manager next door took out a loan to invest in a big project, but the program turned out to be infected with a virus, so everything went to waste. Not only did he end up owing millions, he was also fired by Shanhai Company. He can't pay back the money and is about to go to jail."
In the morning, find the guy in the studio and chat about gossip.
Wen Nian interrupted, "Is it the one called Xu Lin?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Qingqing said, "That's him. I ran into him a while ago. He couldn't even ride the bus. He got scolded so badly by the driver. I don't know how he became a manager."
Jiang Tan continued: "That's not hard to guess. You forgot, his last name is Xu too."
Qingqing immediately understood and let out a long sigh, "No wonder, tsk tsk, it really takes a strong backdoor. But if that's the case, he shouldn't be unable to pay back the money. He can just ask the Xu family for two more."
"I don't know about that. Maybe he's not very popular, and the Xu family doesn't want to be bothered by such a burden anymore, so they might as well send him in for a few years to give him some peace and quiet."
"It's possible. This guy has a bad temper. Let me tell you..."
Wen Nian probably knew why he was not saved.
Once you come here, you have to rely on others for food and drink, so naturally you have to look at other people's faces for everything.
Xu Zhijian's parents are both abroad now and have no time to care about what's happening here. Besides, they probably want to make this happen, so they just pretend not to know.
Then the money could only be asked from Xu Zhijian. He had been bullied by him before and was eager to take revenge on him, let alone save him.
The Xu family knew the personalities of these relatives and were afraid that they would cause trouble one day, so they arranged for them to live far away from their homes and did not even disclose any information.
Third Aunt's family was busy enjoying their good lives, so they had no time to get involved in the affairs of the older family and had long since distanced themselves from them.
Only Xu Lin's parents could help, but what could they, two uneducated farmers, do in such a big and strange city?
From the moment they chose to enter the city, their fate fell into the hands of Xu Zhijian's family.
——
Xu Lin rushed into the bar and was immediately filled with murderous intent when he saw the man. He grabbed a bottle of wine and rushed over.
"Son of a bitch!"
The man sensed the danger, but seemed to have anticipated it, and waved his hand lightly.
"How dare you lie to me! Go to hell!" At the moment when his wine bottle fell, a strong hand suddenly grasped the bottle.
Xu Lin was shocked. He didn't know when two bodyguards appeared beside him. He then noticed that the man was dressed completely differently from the simple style he had worn a few days ago. It was even a world of difference. He was wearing an unknown suit and the watch on his wrist was flashing a cold light.
However, what is most surprising is the expression that goes from calm to oppressive.
His intuition told him that this was no ordinary person. His initial rage turned to anxiety. He asked hatefully, "I have no grudge against you. Why did you lie to me?"
"You touched me first, so give it back." The man said in a flat voice.
After saying that, the bodyguard hit him in the face.
With two loud bangs, people around him all moved away. Xu Lin was lying on the ground with blood at the corner of his mouth.
The man took a sip of wine without even looking at him: "Who made you offend someone you shouldn't have offended? And wasn't all this caused by your greed?"
"Someone you shouldn't offend..." Xu Lin's voice was weak, and his eyes were spinning. He gritted his teeth and smiled contemptuously: "You mean...Xu Zhijian?"
"Xu Zhijian, him?" The man said with a smile, "He's too lazy to mess with you."
After saying that, he stood up and left without looking back.
Xu Lin lay on the ground, his last words echoing in his ears: "I advise you to go back to where you came from. Those who want to chop down a tree while enjoying the shade should hide in a ditch, otherwise this will be your fate."
Why...he was unwilling.
Who else could it be besides Xu Zhijian? He couldn't figure it out.
"Sir? Are you okay?"
The sounds around me were noisy and seemed very close, yet very far away, just like the first day I arrived in this strange yet prosperous city.
Looking back on the past month, a chill suddenly rose from the soles of my feet to the top of my head.
Realizing something belatedly.
Since he came here, every person he met and every word he heard was constantly undermining his self-confidence. Even when he went out to buy things, he would be put down from time to time.
Especially on his first day at the company, everyone from the employees to the managers were inexplicably hostile to him. At first he thought it was a face problem, but when he thought about it carefully, how could it be possible that almost 100% of people hated him without even knowing him?
Something is wrong...
It's like there's a hand controlling everything from behind.
But who else could it be but Xu Zhijian? Who could have known his movements so clearly, planned everything perfectly before he even arrived, and be so hostile towards him? Who else could have such great ability?
Besides Xu Zhijian...
Suddenly, a not-so-familiar face flashed through his mind.
He was shocked to realize that his plan not to come to the city was changed because of what that person said that morning.
With just that short sentence, Xu Zhijian was making his own game.
He had always thought that Xu Zhijian was as useless as he was. The moment he heard this, he had only one thought in his mind, which was to defeat him, no matter what means he used.
It turned out to be her.
At this moment, the moment his vision returned, the first thing that caught his eye was not the hotel staff surrounding him, but a pair of smiling eyes from the second floor behind the gap.
He clearly saw the other person open his mouth and spit out one word: stupid.
——
When Wen Nian walked out of the bar, he was talking to Shen Wan.
"How is it? My friend is awesome, right? He's a senior foreign actor with superb acting skills. He can handle this kind of role with ease." Shen Wan said proudly.
She was in a very good mood now and praised, "It's amazing. And that code is absolutely perfect."
"But I didn't expect you to do such a thing."
Wen Nian has always been vindictive, and provoking her is like provoking a steel plate. "Who made him bully others in the past? He came here to eat and drink other people's food and still doesn't behave himself."
"And I didn't do anything too extreme. I arranged some of the company's personnel, and many others were caused by his own psychology. The rest were simply because he was truly unpopular. And the coding issue was also caused by his eagerness for quick success."
"Well, it's a bit excessive."
After all, if he had taken one less step, he wouldn't be in this situation.
