...
Rumors surrounding Zhu Jinzhao have remained high on the trending topics list. Zhu Xingye had only missed watching the live stream for a day, and his dear sister was already being targeted by two men at the same time.
But he wouldn't be so angry if it were just about being targeted; what angered him was Zhu Jinzhao's complete lack of evasion. He didn't avoid Shi Jing, nor did he avoid Li Weiwan.
Li Weiwan was still relatively reserved. Although Zhu Xingye, being a man himself, could tell that Li Weiwan had other feelings for Zhu Jinzhao, at least Li Weiwan didn't openly display her thoughts.
But Shi Jing was different. Not only did he repeatedly express his ambition to the camera and to Zhu Jinchao, but he also said ambiguous things to Zhu Jinchao without any sense of propriety. He even took Zhu Jinchao's red hair tie without permission and showed it off everywhere.
That's absolutely outrageous and arrogant!
...He's so high-profile, as if he's afraid others won't know what he's thinking about Zhu Jinzhao.
Zhu Jinzhao was even more infuriating. How could she not sense such obvious ill intentions! Shi Jing had already made advances towards her, yet she not only didn't know how to avoid suspicion, but also kept chatting and joking with Shi Jing, constantly giving him hope!
She's already been fooled by a man once, so why doesn't she learn her lesson? She's only known him for two days and she's already given her heart to a slacker like him. She's so stupid it's infuriating!
Zhu Mingyue was the same. She knew Zhu Jinzhao wasn't very bright, so why didn't she stay by his side and keep an eye on him? Now look what's happened; the sister he finally managed to win back might be snatched away by another man.
Zhu Xingye grew angrier and angrier, so angry that he wished he could rush to Flower Island, tie Zhu Jinzhao up from that awful place, and keep her tightly by his side!
"Bang!"
A surge of anger burned in his brain, and Zhu Xingye, unable to contain himself any longer, slammed his fist into his newly purchased luxury coffee table! The marble was incredibly hard, and his slender, strong knuckles instantly became red and swollen.
"Mr. Zhu..." The nanny stood nervously at the door of the open kitchen, holding a bowl of freshly cooked fish soup, wanting to go over but not daring to.
Zhu Xingye's jaw tightened, his breathing became rapid, and he stood up from the sofa without a word, heading upstairs.
"Mr. Zhu." The nanny took two steps after him, then timidly called out as she looked at Zhu Xingye's retreating figure, "It's...it's time to have dinner."
"I'm not eating anymore, don't call me again." With that command, Zhu Xingye's figure quickly disappeared down the spiral staircase.
"Bang!"
He slammed the study door shut, strode to his desk, sat down, stared blankly at the computer for a moment, and finally decided to turn it on.
Clicking into Weibo's trending topics again, the hashtag about Zhu Jinzhao is still prominently displayed on the entertainment trending list.
But unlike yesterday's overwhelming insults, today's trending topics are filled with netizens frantically shipping the couple, with only a very small number of people making sarcastic remarks.
[Waaaaah, Jinzhao is so cute! She and Li-ge are such a perfect match! Li-zai, I want Jinzhao as my sister-in-law...]
[Pah! Pah! Pah! Today belongs to our young master Shi! None of you are allowed to take him!]
[“Jing Jin’s journey to the imperial examination” is real, absolutely real! All irrelevant people, get out of here! Don’t get involved!]
[Families who love the phrase "The moon is beautiful tonight," come to my Weibo for a giveaway! There are no prizes, just a simple giveaway because I'm happy today!]
[If all else fails, how about we let Jinzhao take both Lizi and Shijing as wives? I like both of them, and I'll be heartbroken if either of them doesn't get Jinzhao's wife.]
【Hey? You know what? You really shouldn't believe it! Li Zi is now the current emperor's wife, and Shi Jing is now the current emperor's husband. One husband and one wife, just right!】
Zhu Xingye scrolled through the comments on the screen filled with shippers, his face dark with anger, the veins on his forehead throbbing.
"Great, very good..." He gritted his teeth and curled the corners of his lips, a sinister and crazy smile blooming on his face.
Downstairs, Zhu Qian had just stepped into the living room when he saw the nanny squatting by the dining table, carefully picking something up from the floor.
"Aunt Qing, did the plate break?" He put his briefcase on the sofa and asked casually while unbuttoning his white coat.
"Sigh..." Aunt Qing sighed, held the broken pieces of the phone in her hands, got up and walked over to Zhu Qian. "Xiao Qian, it wasn't me who broke the plate, it was Mr. Zhu who was in a bad mood and broke his phone."
"Huh?" Zhu Qian frowned, his eyes filled with surprise and suspicion. "My older brother? He smashed his own phone?"
Aunt Qing nodded, her face full of worry: "Yes. Mr. Zhu came home from get off work and sat on the sofa looking at his phone. I don't know what he saw. Suddenly, he smashed his phone like this."
"How could this happen..." Zhu Qian looked up at the study on the third floor and immediately felt worried.
"Aunt Qing, could you prepare dinner for me? I'm going upstairs to check on my brother." With that, he turned to leave.
"Hey, Xiaoqian!" Aunt Qing called out to stop him, a hint of worry on her face. "When you go to see Mr. Zhu, take the first-aid kit with you. Before Mr. Zhu went upstairs, he slammed his right hand hard on the coffee table. I saw his hand was red and swollen when I was standing at the kitchen door."
"Okay." Zhu Qian nodded. "I understand. You can start preparing dinner now."
Aunt Qing frowned as she watched his retreating figure go upstairs: "Okay."
"Knock knock knock—"
There was a sudden knock on the study door. Zhu Xingye frowned irritably and said in a fierce tone, "Didn't I tell you not to call me if I'm not eating dinner?"
"Big brother," Zhu Qian responded from outside the door, "it's me."
"..." Upon hearing Zhu Qian's voice, the fierce look between Zhu Xingye's brows immediately dissipated somewhat. He exited Weibo, hid all the pages he had just browsed, and then said to Zhu Qian, "Come in."
Zhu Qian pushed open the door and entered, carrying a white medical kit in his left hand.
Zhu Xingye glanced at the first-aid kit, then guiltily hid his injured right hand under the table.
"Stop hiding it." Zhu Qian walked over and placed the box on the desk, extending his right hand to Zhu Xingye. "What made my older brother so angry that he actually banged his hand against the marble coffee table?"
Zhu Xingye: "..."
With his eyes lowered, he reluctantly took out his injured right hand and placed it in Zhu Qian's palm.
"It's nothing, just some trivial company stuff."
"Tsk..." Zhu Qian frowned, looking at the messy bloodstains on his finger bones and flesh, and said with a headache, "Why did you have to make yourself suffer like this? You can just leave such a trivial matter to your secretary to handle."
"..." Zhu Xingye remained silent, his face cold.
Zhu Qian opened the first-aid kit, took out a few packets of medicine for treating external injuries, and coaxed in a lighthearted tone, "Don't be angry, I'll tell you some gossip about Chaochao in a bit to cheer you up."
