Chapter 34: The Game Has Only Just Begun
Xu Shiran certainly knew who was behind this.
His younger brother was ultimately more ruthless than him.
Even if he has the ability to suppress the trending topic, then what? He's practically posting his ID card online.
Xu Shiran, who was always restrained, stood by the window and lit a cigar.
Xu Si'an, who lived on the same floor, had just fallen asleep when his phone vibrated, which annoyed him.
I picked up my phone, hung up, and went back to sleep.
But the person making the call wouldn't give up; they would keep calling as long as he didn't answer.
Qiao Xu turned over and left his embrace. He opened his eyes and looked at the caller ID.
He reached out and pulled the person back before pressing the call button.
"Could you call and check the time?"
Xu Shiran asked coldly, "Did you do the things that happened online?"
"What's up?"
"I'm too busy sleeping with my wife to do anything online. Don't try to pin this on me."
Xu Si'an just won't admit it. Does he have any evidence?
"That medical record is the same as the one you sent me a while ago. You still say it's not you?"
Xu Shiran was so angry that he shouted as he spoke.
Xu Si'an threw off the covers, rolled over, and got out of bed: "If I can find out, so can others. There are no secrets in this world."
"If I were you, I would cut my losses and save myself. It's not worth risking the Xu family for a woman like that."
"If you're angry, take it out on me, don't target Weiwei."
Xu Si'an sneered: "Targeting?"
"It's always been her who's targeting me, targeting the people I love."
"Xu Shiran, since you're going to protect her, then protect her to the end. The game has only just begun."
"Xu Si'an".
Xu Si'an hung up the phone and blacklisted Xu Shiran.
Brothers like that are better off without.
The Xu family, a family devoid of any affection, what could he possibly expect?
He and Xu Shiran weren't blood brothers. His mother married his father while she was pregnant. Even if his father treated Xu Shiran like his own son, so what?
Xu Shiran is the son of his mother and the man she loves most.
He is the son of a backup lover.
Qiao Xu, lying on the bed, reached out and touched the pillow beside her. She opened her eyes and saw the man standing by the bed: "Xu Si'an."
The man's fierceness faded, and he returned to the bedside to kiss her lips: "Why are you awake?"
Did I wake you up?
"No, my throat hurts and I want to drink water."
Xu Si'an chuckled and put down his phone: "Wait, I'll go get it."
After drinking the water, Qiao Xu felt her throat wasn't so sore anymore: "Did something happen at the company?"
"It's okay, it's still early. I've only slept for two hours. I'll go back to sleep."
He pulled her down to lie down, and Qiao Xu found a comfortable spot to continue sleeping.

When Xu's mother saw the trending topic online, she almost overturned the dining table.
Xu Shiran had been communicating with his assistant about the trending topics and press conference. Just as he hung up the phone, his mother called.
"Xiao Ran, what's going on? Is what's being said online true? Did Shen Zhiwei really have that kind of surgery?"
Xu Shiran pinched the bridge of his nose: "Mom, can you please stop making things worse? You actually believe things that are just rumors on the internet."
"Why can't I believe it, Xiaoran? Listen to your mother, we're better off without that kind of unclean woman."
"She's been married to you for four years and still hasn't been able to give you a child. Divorce her and Mom will find you someone else."
Xu Shiran was a little disgusted by his mother's attitude: "Mom, don't let me hear this kind of talk again. As Weiwei's husband, I know her best."
Shen Zhiwei, who was in the room, was also woken up by the phone call and was stunned when she saw the trending topic online.
how so?
Hearing the commotion, Xu Shiran entered the room: "Honey, this isn't me. You know, I..."
"I believe you. I'll handle this. Go back to sleep, okay?"
Shen Zhiwei reached out and hugged his neck: "Husband, you know, you are my first man."
Xu Shiran concealed it well; he did not expose Shen Zhiwei's act.
Many people knew that he was not Xu's biological son, but only Shen Zhiwei did not look down on him.
He couldn't control his feelings for her from his teens.
So what if she did all those things? As long as it was her, that's fine.
"Weiwei, let's have a baby. That way, no public opinion can affect our relationship."
Shen Zhiwei nodded, and then the storm of passion swept in...
A week later, Qiao Xu and Xu Si'an ran into Xu Shiran and Shen Zhiwei again at the airport.
This time, the two brothers didn't greet each other again.
Before boarding the plane, Xu Si'an received a call from Song Jia, who said that the Shen Group had released information about his past engagement with Shen Zhiwei.
Xu Si'an sneered: "You're really asking for it. Send out the other document in an hour."
Qiao Xu asked, "What's wrong?"
Xu Si'an showed Qiao Xu the trending topics in China: "Disgusting, isn't it? I feel like throwing up, wife."
Qiao Xu rolled her eyes: "Stop pretending, isn't this the truth?"
"It's his business—"
"Facts my ass, I never agreed to that."
"Your husband has a natural ability to spot a woman; he knew she wasn't clean the moment he saw her."
Qiao Xu was truly amused by him.
"So you've completely broken ties with the Xu family now?"
Xu Si'an led her onto the plane and fastened her seatbelt: "We fell out four years ago, but I'm determined to take back the Xu family business. It's my father's life's work."
"What's the meaning?"
Qiao Xu was unaware of the Xu family's affairs.
Xu Si'an kissed her cheek: "Xu Shiran and I are half-siblings, sharing the same mother but different fathers."
To avoid sitting in the same place as Xu Shiran and the others, Xu Si'an bought a first-class ticket. Fortunately, he didn't encounter any unlucky people.
After getting off the plane, just as he reached the parking lot, Xu Shiran stormed towards Xu Si'an.
Shen Zhiwei followed behind him, her face streaked with tears.
Xu Si'an opened the car door and shoved Qiao Xu into the car: "Wait for me, don't get out of the car."
Xu Shiran grabbed Xu Si'an by the collar and punched him.
Xu Si'an retaliated without hesitation for a second.
The car door was locked from the inside, and Qiao Xu couldn't open it at all. She pounded on the glass and just watched helplessly as the two brothers fought each other.
"Stop hitting me, Brother Shiran, ah—be careful!"
Xu Si'an is a regular gym-goer and boxer, so Xu Shiran is no match for him.
Fearing he might beat someone to death, Qiao Xu stepped over to the driver's side and opened the car door.
Xu Si'an was in a frenzy, and Qiao Xu quickly grabbed his hand: "Stop hitting him, he's about to die."
"He deserved to die."
Shen Zhiwei cried as she called the police. Xu Shiran clutched his chest and asked, "Why did you expose that? Weiwei is a girl. You're forcing her to die."
Xu Si'an wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and hugged Qiao Xu: "Go to hell?"
"Then she'll go."
"Weren't the things she said and did to Qiao Xu four years ago forcing her to die?"
"If this happened to her, she would be the victim. But what about Qiao Xu?"
Xu Si'an stepped forward: "Shen Zhiwei, don't let me find out that Uncle Qiao's treatment and surgery are related to you, otherwise, I will definitely make sure you spend the rest of your life in jail."
