Chapter 60 Secret Love for Second Brother

Wu Zhao's friend also found it hard to believe what he said. If Wu Zhao hadn't let the secret slip accidentally because he was drunk, who would have thought that such a thing would happen?

But after all, he was having a fight with Wu Zhao, and he originally wanted to keep this secret to himself. However, after Aunt Lin's repeated questioning, he couldn't help but tell her.

After he finished speaking, there was a long silence on the other side. Wu Zhao's friend thought the call was disconnected, but when he picked it up, he saw that the call was indeed still going on.

He tentatively whispered, "Aunt Lin?"

Just when he thought Aunt Lin was too angry to speak, Aunt Lin's unusually calm voice came from the other side: "So that's it, I know, thank you for telling me this."

Wu Zhao's friend was shocked. He had thought of the possibility countless times, but he had never thought that Aunt Lin would be so calm.

As expected of the editor-in-chief, he has seen the world.

Aunt Lin hung up the phone quickly. Wu Zhao's friend hesitated for a moment but still did not remind Wu Zhao.

After all, judging from Aunt Lin's appearance, nothing should happen. He quickly put the matter behind him.

I had no idea that after Aunt Lin hung up the phone, she took a day off and called Wu Zhao's father to ask him to take leave to go home.

Wu Zhao's father was confused. When asked over the phone what had happened, he got no answer. He had no choice but to follow Aunt Lin's instructions and take half a day off to go home.

No one knew what Aunt Lin said to Wu Zhao's father. Soon, Wu Zhao, who was at work, received a call from his father.

My father's voice was very calm on the phone, and it sounded no different from normal. He said, "Xiao Zhao, something happened at home. Please ask for half a day off from work and come back."

Wu Zhao was still wondering what had happened, so he hurriedly asked for leave to go home.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw my mother holding a bamboo in her hand, and my father sitting on the sofa smoking silently. His hand holding the cigarette was even shaking slightly.

This scene inexplicably reminded Wu Zhao of the mixed doubles match he had experienced, but he had not been beaten since he entered high school.

On this day, screams echoed throughout the Wu family.

——

Qi Nian didn't expect that there would be a sequel, and it was Sang Yu who told him.

"What? Aunt Lin and the others know about this?" Qi Nian raised his voice a little, and asked Sang Yu with concern, "Are you okay?"

Although Aunt Lin seemed to be a very sensible person, Qi Nian couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"Don't worry, Aunt Lin even apologized to me..."

Speaking of which, when Aunt Lin contacted Sang Yu and said that she already knew the truth, Sang Yu's heart sank.

Although he knew it was not his fault, his habit still made Sang Yu subconsciously feel a little guilty towards Aunt Lin.

He was ready to apologize to Aunt Lin, but before he could say anything, Aunt Lin said, "Xiao Yu, I want to apologize to you. Wu Zhao and Ming Zhu are so ignorant. I just asked you about it. Because of them, you even moved to a new place. I feel so ashamed of you. I can't face you anymore."

"Auntie, it's not your fault..." Aunt Lin said this, and Sang Yu was a little at a loss.

"It's really not my fault!" Aunt Lin raised her voice a little, and was a little excited: "Mingzhu, I won't say anything. I think I have spent so many years and spent so much effort to educate this brat. I have a clear conscience. It's not your fault. The fault lies with that bastard Wu Zhao!"

To be honest, Sang Yu has known Aunt Lin for such a long time, and has always had the impression that she is an elegant intellectual. This is the first time I've seen her swearing in such an emotional state. Well... it's quite shocking.

Aunt Lin continued: "This bastard is still trying to find excuses for me. He is right. Mingzhu is just like him. I am so angry that I almost laugh. Mingzhu is indeed wrong, but is he not wrong?! I am so angry that I am ashamed for him."

After that, Aunt Lin grabbed Wu Zhao who was standing beside her, pointed the phone at him, and said unhappily, "Quick, apologize to Xiaoyu. Even if you said that you couldn't control your emotions, it's wrong for you to continue to cling to someone after they clearly rejected you! Do you know that doing this will make people feel troubled? Do you really think you are a very affectionate person?"

Aunt Lin is a person who speaks very sharply and is completely merciless to her own son.

Before Wu Zhao could say anything, Aunt Lin took the phone back and said, "Forget it. I guess Xiaoyu doesn't want to hear your voice now."

Wu Zhao: I’m so heartbroken…

Aunt Lin spoke to Sang Yu, her voice much softer: "Xiao Yu, Wu Zhao really went too far, and I don't know how to compensate you. Don't worry, I've already beaten him for you. I think you must want to beat him now."

Sang Yu laughed dryly: "Auntie, that's not true." It must be said that Auntie Lin guessed right, but Sang Yu didn't have the nerve to say "yes".

Unexpectedly, Aunt Lin said directly: "Auntie knows that you want to beat him, but you can't do it, so when your uncle and I beat him just now, I recorded a video. I will send the video to you later. Although I didn't do it myself, watching the video can also help you vent your anger."

"Mom!" Wu Zhao, who had been feeling embarrassed and silent, suddenly shouted, "Why did you record the video? It's so embarrassing! Delete it now!"

"You know what shame is? I thought you were thick-skinned enough, but you don't even know what shame is." Aunt Lin didn't bother to look at her son: "Also, don't call me mom."

Sang Yu really wanted to watch the video. From Wu Zhao's reaction, he knew that the content of the video was very exciting. He hesitated: "No..."

"Auntie has already sent the video, it's a bit long." Auntie Lin could tell that he wanted to watch it. It seemed that her stupid son was really annoying. She said, "Don't worry, Wu Zhao won't bother you anymore. As for Mingzhu... I will also tell her parents. Don't worry, Mingzhu's parents are reasonable. This is their fault. Don't blame you."

To be honest, after hearing Aunt Lin say this, Sang Yu's anxious mood did calm down a lot.

Aunt Lin didn't say anything more about "everything will be the same as before". Now that this has happened, both sides will feel awkward when they meet, so let's not say such unrealistic things.

Sang Yu told Qinian what happened, and Qinian sighed, "Auntie Lin is so nice."

"Indeed, I was narrow-minded before." Sang Yu was worried that Aunt Lin would blame him, but now it seems that his worries were unnecessary.

"Ah... Aunt Lin sent you the video, have you watched it?" Qi Nian asked hesitantly, well... he was a little curious.

"I saw it. He was beaten so hard. It was the first time I saw someone jump three feet high in real life." From Sang Yu's tone, it felt like he was about to laugh.

"Really?" Qi Nian's tone was full of curiosity.

Who is Sang Yu? He is very good at guessing what other people mean. Plus, Qi Nian's tone was so obvious that he got it immediately.

Sang Yu immediately said, "Do you want to see it?"

"Ah... this is not good." Qi Nian hesitated for a moment.

"It's okay, just don't send it to anyone else after you watch it." Sang Yu's fingers moved quickly and sent the video to Qi Nian.

Qi Nian took a look at the video which was several GB in size, and finally couldn't control his fingers and clicked it.

I have to say that although Aunt Lin and Wu Zhao's father haven't beaten their children for many years, their hands are still not raw at all.

The two men cooperated well, one was responsible for catching Wu Zhao, while the other directly hit him with the bamboo pole.

It was obvious that Aunt Lin was really furious, and she was beating him mercilessly. Qi Nian grimaced and covered his eyes, but couldn't help leaving a gap to peek.

After watching the video, Qi Nian was a little shocked. It was really cruel.

I don’t know if this beating was effective or for some other reason, but Wu Zhao and Yue Mingzhu never looked for Sang Yu again.

Yue Mingzhu was probably not beaten, but she was also given a thought meeting by the whole family.

Sang Yu also sighed: "If I had known this earlier, I should have gone directly to Aunt Lin to save the trouble of moving."

Although he said this, Sang Yu is not that kind of person and obviously would not do that.

Perhaps because she felt that this matter was too embarrassing, Aunt Lin never told anyone why her son broke up. Anyway, Ning Min still doesn't know what happened.

Ning Min would bring it up at first, but was too embarrassed to ask Aunt Lin. As time went by, she soon forgot about it.

——

The weather has been getting colder recently. Although it is not cold enough to wear a down jacket, Qi Nian has already taken out his sweater.

After putting on a sweater early in the morning and finally feeling warm, Qi Nian prepared to go out to school.

As soon as he got downstairs, he ran into Chu Rongshi, who asked, "Is your leg okay?"

"Okay, I don't feel the pain anymore." Qi Nian said, and jumped in place to show his flexibility.

When he looked up, he saw Chu Rongshi with a faint smile. His face turned red and he touched his nose embarrassedly.

Ah... that behavior just now seemed a bit stupid.

"It's been cold lately, so I've arranged a driver to pick you up. You'll be on duty tomorrow, so I'll take you there today." Chu Rongshi said, motioning Qi Nian to follow.

"Give me a driver?" Qi Nian followed Chu Rongshi like a little tail. When he heard this, he thought it was a bit too exaggerated, right?

Chu Rongshi: “Yeah.”

After saying that, he looked at Qi Nian again and said, "Don't you want a driver?"

Qi Nian scratched his head, a little embarrassed: "Isn't this a bit of an exaggeration?"

Chu Rongshi thought for a moment and said, "If you don't want a driver, I'll pick you up?"

Qi Nian was stunned for a moment, then immediately shook his head: "Then you still need a driver. Brother, you are so busy, I won't delay your work."

Chu Rongshi's gaze fell on Qi Nian's extremely sincere eyes. He wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.

Today, because someone was sending him off, Qi Nian arrived early, which was rare, and saved a seat for himself and Lu Ze.

Lyu Ze has been very busy recently, and it is rare to see him except during classes.

During class, they were busy listening to the lecture and neither of them spoke much. Seeing that he was so busy, Qi Nian was too embarrassed to ask him questions he didn't understand.

Fortunately, there is Zhong Qin. Although he is one year higher than Qi Nian, they are in the same major after all, so I can ask him if I don’t know something.

Even though Zhong Qin is becoming more and more love-sick because of his love affair with Xia Xiaotian every day, the other party is also a top student.

It was a rare opportunity to come early today, so Qi Nian and Lu Ze finally had a chance to chat.

According to Lu Ze, he adapted well to Jiang's because he had a strong heart: "Everyone knows my identity, even if they have opinions in their hearts, they will not say it out loud. If they don't say it out loud, I will pretend that they don't exist, so I adapt well."

"That's good," Qi Nian said. Although he had worked in a class for a while before traveling through time, he was still a newcomer in the workplace. He didn't know much about the other party. He could only comfort Lu Ze based on the little he knew: "There are annoying people everywhere. Just ignore them."

Lu Ze nodded: "Well, I don't have time to care about them. Qinian, do you know? I used to think I knew a lot, but after following Mr. Jiang, I found that my previous knowledge was too shallow. What I know is just the tip of the iceberg."

Lu Ze used to be a little resistant to Jiang's father, but now, he admires him a little. At least he knows a lot and is a very good teacher.

He is not a person who does not know what is good for him. Since Jiang's father is willing to train him, he will repay the other party's kindness.

However, the way they get along is more like that of superiors and subordinates, and there is no family affection at all.

"What about Jiang Yi? Others are fine, but Jiang Yi won't cause you any trouble, right?" Qi Nian was a little worried about this. Although Jiang's father had punished Jiang Yi to reflect at home before, it was impossible for Jiang Yi to stay away from the company forever.

"Him? I'm afraid he has gone back for the time being, so we don't have much chance to meet him." Lu Ze said with a smile.

"What's going on? What did he do again?" Qi Nian subconsciously wondered if Jiang Yi had done something again.

"I just accidentally found some evidence that he was having his cake and eat it too." Lu Ze said.

"Eat from both sides?" Doesn't that mean taking kickbacks?

Qi Nian was speechless: "No, is it that serious for Jiang Yi? Jiang's is his own company. Is he...stealing his own things?"

"Jiang Corporation is not completely controlled by the Jiang family. The Jiang family only holds the majority of the shares. But you are right." Lu Ze shrugged: "I don't understand his train of thought. Maybe he feels that the pocket money given by Mr. Jiang is not enough for him to spend?"

Qi Nian was speechless: "I think his father must be mad to death."

"I was really angry." Lu Ze thought of that scene and wanted to laugh: "Anyway, Jiang Yi can't return to the company for a while. As for how long it will take for Director Jiang to change his mind, I don't know."

"Not bad, not bad, well done." Qi Nian couldn't help but applaud Lu Ze.

Hehe, by the time Jiang's father changes his mind and lets Jiang Yi return to the company, with Lu Ze's ability, he should have been able to gain a firm foothold by then.

Well...anyway, it's unlikely that Jiang Yi wants to bully Lu Ze. Thinking of this, Qi Nian was completely relieved.

Lu Ze smiled. In order to maintain his tall image in front of his good friends, he did not complain about how tired he was recently.

Father Jiang is really cruel. In order to train Lu Ze, he simply uses people as machines. Even a smart person like Lu Ze has dark circles under his eyes because of this.

But maybe Lu Ze was born to be a restless person. This kind of pace of life makes him feel excited and particularly fulfilled.

He would not be so hypocritical as to think how tired he was. How many people wanted such an opportunity, but could not get it no matter how hard they tried. No one knew this better than Lu Ze.

——

"Qi Xiaonian, have you forgotten something?" Qi Nian was sleeping that day when his second brother called him. The voice was so eerie that Qi Nian woke up immediately.

"Second brother?" Qi Nian was full of resentment: "What's the matter? It's the middle of the night and I'm still sleeping."

"Haha, nothing. Second brother suddenly wanted to make snake soup for you." Chu Tianheng's voice sounded crazy and beautiful in the dead of night.

"Ah?! Second brother, you were bitten by a snake? Are you okay? Although it's not a poisonous snake, you should still see a doctor. It's better to get a check-up just in case. Where are you now? I'll call the doctor for you!" No matter what, he was his second brother after all. When Qi Nian heard this, he was so anxious that he broke out in a sweat.

"Is it really necessary for you to make the call? By the time you finish the call, your second brother will be almost dead." Chu Tianheng's voice became weak and it felt as if he was about to die.

"Second brother, don't scare me! Bah, bah, bah, hurry up, bah, bah." Qi Nian was so anxious that he crawled all over the bed.

“Hahahaha…I’m not saying this, you little idiot, you really believe it, hahahaha…, I’m dying of laughter, hahahaha…” Chu Tianheng laughed so hard that he couldn’t breathe.

Everyone thought: "..."

Ahhh! Why is my second brother always like this!

He was so angry that he hung up the phone.

Almost immediately, Chu Tianheng called, but Qi Nian didn't answer.

The other party hit him again, but Qi Nian still didn't respond.

After calling a few times, Qi Nian finally couldn't stand it anymore and answered the phone with pursed lips.

"Finally you answered the phone?" Chu Tianheng said quickly, "Second brother, I was wrong. I just couldn't sleep late at night, so I came to tease you. I was really wrong. I won't tease you anymore."

Qi Nian grasped the key point: "So you didn't even shoot the MV!"

Chu Tianheng coughed lightly and said, "The props and everything are ready. We'll start shooting tomorrow."

"Your team is so slow." Qi Nian complained in a low voice.

Chu Tianheng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I've been too busy lately, so I just found the time."

Then, he had an idea: "Second brother just made you angry, how about you come over tomorrow and let me vent your anger."

"I don't want to." Qi Nian felt uncomfortable just thinking about being covered with snakes.

"It's decided. Second brother will send someone to pick you up tomorrow!" After Chu Tianheng said this, he directly used the hang-up skill to leave Qi Nian no chance to refuse.

Qi Nian looked at the hung up phone: "..."

Why is my second brother always like this!

He kicked the quilt hard in anger, then closed his eyes and went to sleep, truly demonstrating what it meant to get angry at the drop of a hat.

——

Sure enough, the next day the driver sent by Chu Tianheng arrived at the door of the Chu family.

"Why do you suddenly want to go to your second brother's place again?" Ning Min asked with some confusion.

"I don't want to go either, but my second brother didn't even give me the chance to refuse!" Qi Nian's little face was filled with resentment.

Ning Min smiled: "Your second brother misses you."

Qi Nian didn't believe it, his second brother was just teasing him!

He could only comfort himself: "I will be back in the afternoon anyway."

We took a car to the filming location. There is a scene in Chu Tianheng's new MV that takes place outdoors, so there is a scene with snakes crawling all over the body.

But obviously we won’t really go into the wild, we will just build a scene on site, and then everything will depend on post-production.

Qi Nian followed Chu Tianheng for some time during the previous summer vacation, so he was quite familiar with the people in the other team.

Chu Tianheng was still putting on makeup at this time. For an MV, apart from the good songs, the most important thing is to be handsome! The scene must be beautiful!

So the makeup was quite complicated. Qi Nian sat next to Chu Tianheng and watched for a while, and couldn't help dozing off.

Chu Tianheng took a look through the mirror and almost laughed: "Qi Xiaonian, what did you do last night? You are so sleepy."

Qi Nian had a resentful expression, as if to say, "How dare you say that?" "It was because of you arguing last night that I couldn't fall asleep for a long time."

Chu Tianheng coughed awkwardly, and finally his conscience came to his senses: "Go to the lounge and sleep for a while. There is a bed there."

"Forget it, I'll go out for a walk." Qi Nian stood up and left the dressing room.

After leaving the dressing room, the temperature outside dropped a bit. Although it was not cold, it at least made Qi Nian a little more sober.

Then, there was something else that made him more sober.

A young lady from the props group came over enthusiastically as soon as she saw Qi Nian: "You are Brother Chu's younger brother, right? I heard from Brother Chu that you are worried about him."

This girl was obviously a social expert, she was very enthusiastic, and Qi Nian didn't know what to say, he could only nod continuously.

"Don't worry, those snakes are very gentle and won't bite you." To reassure him, the young lady said, "How about I take you to see those snakes? I've specially fed them well, but because they are too full, they are too lazy to move now. But it shouldn't be a problem to take pictures."

As far as Qi Nian knew, there were probably more than a dozen snakes used as props. Although Qi Nian was no longer afraid of snakes, he still got goosebumps when he thought of the scene of more than a dozen snakes together.

He shook his head in refusal.

"Why don't you want to go and see it?" The young lady looked regretful.

Qi Nian: It is normal to refuse, right? It is incredible that his second brother is willing to agree to this "creative idea".

"Eh? Is that Song Xiao Ming?" The young lady looked not far away, and Qi Nian followed the other person's line of sight and saw a handsome man.

Speaking of which, this was the first time Qi Nian met Song Xiao Ming, and his big eyes were filled with curiosity.

But his second brother would probably explode again when he saw the other party. Qi Nian silently lit a cigarette for Song Xiaoming in his heart.

As expected, Chu Tianheng's reaction was the same as Qi Nian expected. Even his heavy-duty clothes could not stop his irritability: "Why are you here again? Tsk, my good mood for the whole day is gone. This is my dressing room. Please leave, ok?"

Compared to Chu Tianheng's irritability, Song Xiaoming was much gentler, even with a hint of flattery: "I heard you were here, so I came to take a look. What you want to shoot is a bit dangerous, I..."

"Are you cursing me?" Chu Tianheng narrowed his eyes, seriously suspecting Song Xiaoming's sinister intentions.

Song Xiaoming pursed his lips. He was satisfied to see Chu Tianheng. He didn't force anything and said, "Okay, I have something else to do. I'll leave first. See you next time."

After he left, Qi Nian heard his second brother muttering, "It's better not to see you."

Qi Nian couldn't help but shook his head as he looked at Song Xiaoming's back: [Hey, isn't Second Brother too hostile to Song Xiaoming? Hiss... Song Xiaoming is so miserable. He probably came to see Second Brother, but Second Brother treats him with indifference. Looking at Song Xiaoming's back, it's full of sadness. It's a pity that Second Brother doesn't even know that Song Xiaoming has a crush on him...]

A "bang" sound interrupted Qi Nian's thoughts, and when he turned around he saw his second brother with a "fuck off" expression on his face.

Qi Nian quickly raised his hand to cover his mouth: It's over, I couldn't help it.

The buff of being able to hear your inner thoughts as soon as you eat melon is too unscientific and really hard to control!
