Chapter 534 Above the Posing (69) [VIP]
Zhang Weijing's retching sounds were still echoing around. She hadn't eaten anything that night, and only the water she drank came out of her stomach.
Rather than vomiting, it was more of a physiological nausea. She felt so nauseous that her throat spasmed involuntarily, her mind was in a mess, and she wanted to vomit out all the bile.
Zhang Xujiao suppressed his bad feeling and clicked on the comments under the Weibo post. Before he finished reading the first comment, he saw a new message pop up on his phone:
Zheng Anni: [Please don’t post this kind of pictures. They are obviously photoshopped and must be fake. Jingjing will be angry later.]
What she said... at first glance it seemed like she was talking to Zhang Weijing, but upon closer inspection, gloating was almost overflowing from between the lines.
Zhang Weijing was usually arrogant and domineering, and would often turn her face away from her "sisters" when she was unhappy with them. Now, in the entire group chat, no one said a word to her.
Everyone was posting things like, "Yes, yes, this photo is definitely fake," "Jingjing, please come out and confirm it," and "Oh, Jingjing, it's really gratifying that her cousin Chen Lei has fallen from grace. I don't like him either." While saying not to mention it, they were posting photos and related Weibo posts again and again to flood the screen, as if they were afraid that Zhang Weijing wouldn't see it.
Zhang Xujiao suppressed the discomfort in his stomach and the surprise of seeing these messages, and clicked on their Weibo posts one by one and read them quickly. After flipping through a few, he hurried forward a few steps and grabbed Zhang Weijing who was squatting on the side of the road: "Don't vomit."
His voice was more serious than ever before. Zhang Weijing covered her chest and turned around: "What are you doing?"
Her voice was hoarse now.
Knowing that Lin Jianyu was dead and actually seeing his body, or the body in that kind of scene, are two completely different things.
Only now did she feel that someone was really dead.
"Something big has happened," Zhang Xujiao said in a serious voice, "Some people are beginning to wonder about Chen Lei's background."
*
For Wen Qi, Zhang Xujiao and Zhang Weijing are classmates she interacts with every day. In order to protect herself as much as possible, she has a deep understanding of these two people.
When he discovered that Chen Lei's actions had been exposed and some people had begun to speculate about his background, Zhang Xujiao immediately realized that something was wrong.
"The two of them were sent out tonight to find Chen Lei and bring him home, so that he wouldn't cause any trouble," Wen Qi analyzed, "but Zhang Weijing didn't take him away immediately after finding him. This is one reason."
The second thing is that Chen Lei was driving under the influence and got caught cheating with one of his girlfriends, which was filmed and uploaded to the Internet.
The third point is that public opinion was formed on the Internet, and the family members of his ex-girlfriend and girlfriend who committed suicide recognized him and exposed his actions.
"There is no need for guidance. As long as more and more relatives of the deceased come out to say that Chen Lei had been in a romantic relationship with their relatives who committed suicide, the public will naturally find out that something is wrong. At this time, Chen Lei's existence becomes a landmine, and this landmine was buried by Zhang Weijing and his mistakes." She sat upright in her chair, and when she described her thoughts in a serious manner, her expression was as serious as a good student answering the teacher's questions in class.
——If you ignore what she is saying.
In contrast, her "teacher" was not a hard-working gardener standing on the podium to teach people, but yawned, with a hint of sleepiness in the corners of his eyes: "What time is it? Let's finish early."
Using your brain intensively can also make you tired.
"It's almost eleven o'clock," Wen Qi said quickly, "Zhang Weijing and Zhang Xujiao have realized that their mistakes may bring great trouble to their families. If they want to avoid being held responsible if something really happens, they have to suppress this matter before Chen Lei's matter becomes a big deal."
After all, all this originated from the fact that Zhang Weijing found someone but did not bring him back.
At that time, she had a temper like a spoiled little girl and among the people she drove away were other second-generation rich people who were on good terms with Chen Lei. If Chen Lei could reveal the identity of the "big shot", tracing back, it would soon be possible to trace it back to Zhang Weijing's problem.
"Although Chen Lei is the culprit, but..."
"But in a family like this, the father is more like the boss, right?" Bai Jinshu said in a leisurely tone.
Wen Qi nodded silently.
The relationship in this kind of family is different from that in a normal family.
"More like a boss? Why?" Zhao Yinglai asked.
"You don't understand." Bai Jinshu held his chin and looked at her with a subtle look.
Zhao Yinglai comes from the world of Long Aotian, where his daily routine is "It's time to make Wang go bankrupt when the day breaks". The domineering bosses he meets are either contracting fish ponds, or using public funds to date the heroines, or some studs with harems, or they say "How dare you" and "How horrible" every day. He has no understanding of wealthy families in the normal world.
Just like Guan Hongyan, who came from some unknown strange native world, was not at all surprised by the occasional invasion of aliens on Earth and the fact that the time in her own world would restart back to a few years ago, the differences in the native worlds would naturally lead to different initial cognitions of the world by different exploration team members, and this cognition would become a mark that they would never be able to get rid of in their lifetime.
Born in the Gu Field, which embodies the "domineering president" and "Dragon Aotian" to the extreme, it is normal for Zhao Yinglai to have a distorted understanding of the wealthy families in the normal world.
Zhaoyinglai: ...
"Why do I feel like you are being sarcastic to me?" she muttered silently.
What does "she doesn't understand" mean? No matter what she says, she has known countless male protagonists, Long Aotian. No one is more familiar with this kind of family than him, right?
"I didn't," Bai Jinshu raised his eyebrows slightly, "I'm just telling the truth. If you don't understand, let Wen Qi explain it to you."
Zhaoying came over to Wenqi.
"Well..." Wen Qi thought for a moment and described it, "Because people who are in high positions, rich and powerful cannot stand others' disobedience, and these people have the decisive resources in their hands, so the whole family has to follow his wishes. Over time, rather than saying that he is a relative, it is better to say that he is more like a boss besides blood relationship."
Her biological parents were not even worthy of mention in front of the "big shots" and Lin Jianyu, not to mention Zhang Weijing and Zhang Xujiao who were born into this family.
I'm afraid these two people have been taught since childhood how to "please" their superiors, rather than how to get along with their parents.
"Yes," Wen Qi nodded, "According to my observation, although Zhang Weijing and Zhang Xujiao are the biological children of that 'big shot', their relationship with him is not even as close as that with Lin Jianyu."
Several times, the two of them got into trouble in school, and it was always the uncle-in-law Lin Jianyu who stepped forward to resolve the situation. Otherwise, Wen Qi would not have happened to run into the mother of the little ghost following behind Lin Jianyu, and thus learned that he had raised a little ghost.
Lin Jianyu is not from a business family. He is an upstart who succeeded in starting his own business decades ago with the help of his children. He has a much better relationship with his two nephews and nieces than with their biological father. It is conceivable how little affection these two have for their own father.
Not to mention that Zhang Weijing and Zhang Xujiao rarely mentioned "Dad" at school. When they occasionally mentioned it, they used the more unfamiliar word "father".
However, in this school, most people's families are in a similar situation. The mother takes on the role of the father, the nanny takes on the role of the mother, and the father in the biological sense is the boss of everyone.
Something went wrong with what the boss had arranged. Zhang Xujiao and Zhang Weijing must be much more panicked than Chen Lei now.
This is not simply a matter of "something went wrong with the instructions from the elders" but rather "something went wrong with the task assigned by the boss."
The severity is completely different.
[Ah? Is this really true? So exaggerated? Are there any rich guys or girls who can speak out? ]
[It’s true… When I was a kid, I only saw my dad a few times a year. Before we met, my mom would give me instructions for a long time in advance to make sure I would say something to please him. Every time I saw him, I felt like I was meeting a boss…]
[I don't need a lot of money, but I need a lot of love.jpg. To be honest, the person who has been closest to me since I was a child is indeed my mother. She is more like my mother than my mother. When I was a child, I even asked her why she couldn't be my mother. My mother is more like the father in the widowed parenting mentioned on the Internet. My father is simply a legendary figure. If I want to see him, I have to find his secretary first. ]
[It will get better when you get older and get to know the family, but before that, you are really like a boss. 】
【? You must be an only child... What if you have a bunch of brothers and sisters? When you grow up, you will fight for the throne and your head will be beaten into a dog's head. Don't say he is like a boss. Sometimes I think he is like a local tyrant.】
[If I put myself in this situation, if I was 14 or 15 years old and was told that something went wrong with what my father asked me to do, and that it might cause big problems for the company, I would also feel like the sky is falling.]
[The sky is falling +1, my first reaction is definitely screwed. 】
[Now, tell me if there is any way to cover this up. I will do whatever you say...]
If this group of adult investors in the barrage are like this, then Zhang Xujiao and Zhang Weijing, who are only fourteen or fifteen years old, will be even more panicked.
"When these two people found out that Chen Lei's matter had become a big deal, they certainly didn't dare to tell their elders about it, but planned to solve it themselves," Wen Qi made the final conclusion, "Teacher, you wanted Zhang Weijing and Zhang Xu to teach the two people to kill Chen Lei from the beginning, right?"
"That's about right," Bai Jinshu held his chin with interest, "Don't you think this is interesting?"
It's very interesting whether you look at it from the perspective of a "top student" who always thinks highly of himself being silently dealt with by the rich second generation whom he looks down upon, or from the perspective of manipulating a person born in a "good family" and having his hands stained with blood for the first time.
From the very beginning, he asked Wen Qi to deliver wine into the box, and Chen Lei was not the only one who was plotted against.
In the world of the living, after reading the content on Weibo, Zhang Weijing, who had been retching heartbrokenly a few minutes ago, instantly turned pale.
"Someone wants to dig up Chen Lei's family background. What should we do?" She quickly grabbed Zhang Xujiao's wrist and said in a panic, "Brother, they won't find us, will they?"
It would be fine if it happened at any other time, but it happened at this time.
Zhang Xujiao frowned and said nothing.
He didn't know what to do either.
Zhang Weijing was panicking. He was also panicking, but what was the point of panicking? He had to think of a way to prevent people on the Internet from finding out...
Just then, two familiar figures came from not far away.
The one in front is Liu Zhu who went to the police station to rescue someone, and the one in the back with a droopy face and all the discomfort of being caught is Chen Lei.
Seeing the two siblings leaning against each other intimately, he subconsciously wanted to put on his most accustomed "other people's children" attitude, but after realizing his current situation, he froze and forced himself to produce a flattering smile.
Seeing him like this, Zhang Xujiao and Zhang Weijing both wanted to grit their teeth.
He didn't know how big a mess he had made.
"Brother...Brother," Zhang Weijing's eyes turned, as if he suddenly remembered something, "Why don't we deal with him!"
"What do you mean by deal with..." Zhang Xu paused, his eyes widened, and he suddenly understood what his sister said, "You mean... kill?"
What Bai Jinshu and Wen Qi, who were in another world, did not expect was that the first person who suggested killing Chen Lei was not Zhang Xujiao but Zhang Weijing.
"Kill him, and this matter won't ferment any further. Just like the person who called just now, she must have thought the same thing," Zhang Weijing squeezed the wrist tightly in his hand, lowered his voice, but a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, "Brother, think about it, if a drunkard is drunk and no one is taking care of him, he will easily vomit in the middle of the night and choke to death in his sleep. No one will think it's wrong."
"When Chen Lei dies, the trend on the Internet will only become that evil will be punished, and those nosy idiots who shout for severe punishment of murderers will stop. If we guide them a little, no one will dig up our secrets," she thought quickly, "Brother, do you think so?"
The look in Zhang Xujiao's eyes changed.
Disgust with Chen Lei, fear of messing up the task assigned by his "boss", worry about whether his father would be promoted, and his and Zhang Weijing's already low sense of morality all mixed together.
"Do you have a way to avoid being discovered?" Finally, he lowered his voice.
*
With a "whoosh" sound, Bai Jinshu reached out and put all the melon seeds on the table into his bag.
"What's wrong? You don't want to go down anymore?" Zhao Yinglai was startled by the voice.
"No more games," Bai Jinshu raised one corner of his mouth, "Black won."
