Chapter 27
Meng Ce staggered for a moment, then hurriedly left towards the bathroom.
Xu Yinyin looked at his running back in astonishment and was stunned.
What's wrong with him? He's so startled, I wonder if he thought there was a fire?
[Who knows, this kid might be seriously ill! ]
[Tsk, don't you think he's a bit pitiful? He's being targeted by someone in the closet without even realizing it. Add to that the Wu family's kindness to him, and he'll definitely fall into Wu Jun's clutches sooner or later. What a pity.]
[Bao, you should worry about yourself. Wu Jun is on his way to the company, probably to investigate the enemy situation.]
【ah? ! 】
While Xu Yinyin was surprised, Meng Ce also received a message from Wu Jun--
[Let’s have lunch together at noon. Can I pick you up at the company?]
Meng Ce frowned as he looked at the message, and a thought suddenly came to his mind.
I don't know if Wu Jun can hear Xu Yinyin's inner voice. If so, why not--
【Lunch break is only one hour. Can I eat in the cafeteria?】
[Yes, as long as I eat with you, it doesn't matter where I eat.]
This message, which was replied to immediately, once again brought out the nausea he had suppressed.
Wu Jun seemed to talk to him like this all the time, but behind this seemingly good relationship was actually--
Ahhh, I'm dirty!!!
Meng Ce put his phone back into his pocket, then washed his face with water desperately, wishing he could rub off the skin. It seemed that he had to leave as soon as possible.
He opened the address book and made a call.
*
As soon as the workday ended, Xue Weiwei couldn't wait to ask Xu Yinyin out for dinner. In order to force the couple that hadn't formed, she politely called Meng Ce.
But the other party gave Xu Yinyin a resentful look, and then said, "Thank you for the invitation, but I'd better not go and get in the way."
Xu Yinyin was shocked. This man is so delicious!!!
Xue Weiwei caught the other party's resentful look, and the interest of the badger instantly took over.
"How could that be? Assistant Meng is so attractive. Once you sit down in the restaurant, you'll instantly become the most beautiful scenery in the company. Come on, we'll all be colleagues from now on, so we have to get to know each other."
Meng Ce did not answer, but just glanced at Xu Yinyin secretly.
[Good man, is he addicted to acting? What does it have to do with me? I'm afraid he didn't do it on purpose!]
Meng Ce did it on purpose. He wanted to provoke Xu Yinyin, and then when Wu Jun came, she could let it out.
Xue Weiwei's heart was already jumping up and down waiting to eat the melon, and she was not willing to miss such a good opportunity. She simply took Xu Yinyin's arm with one hand and Meng Ce's sleeve with the other, and led the two of them to the elevator.
"We're all colleagues. We were supposed to have a welcome party for new colleagues tonight, but the company has been a bit busy lately and we can't make it. So we took advantage of lunch time to get together and get to know each other."
"Yinyin is just not good at socializing, she's not rejecting you."
Xue Weiwei was trying to smooth things over, and Xu Yinyin didn't want to be too distant. Her attitude was clear anyway. If he continued to go ahead despite the difficulties, she would continue to sabotage him until he was torn to pieces and ran away!
When the three of them arrived at the restaurant, the enthusiastic melon-babies had already put the scattered tables together to form a five-meter-long dining table. Everyone took their seats, leaving the three seats in the center waiting for the protagonist to come on stage.
Eating melons, supporting CPs or complaining about Wu Jun’s closeted life are all ways for them to gain energy, and they are also the most delicious things to eat with meals!
As soon as Meng Ce stepped into the restaurant, he was shocked by the scene in front of him.
Beside the long dining table, colleagues from various departments were sitting in an orderly manner. When I saw them, I all put on bright smiles, mixed with the eagerness of having been waiting for a long time, and enthusiastically led them to the center.
It didn't feel like a meal, but more like a tea party.
"Xiao Qi, why do I feel like everyone's enthusiasm has reached a new level? Is this big event really just to welcome new colleagues, rather than just a symposium?"
That one sentence made the smiles of the people around him pause slightly.
Xue Weiwei said hurriedly, "Come to think of it, Yinyin has only been here a few days. We didn't hold a welcome party for you before, so we decided to hold one today. So, this C position is specially prepared for you two. Don't be restrained, and eat as much as you can later."
Xu Yinyin nodded in understanding and said thank you with a smile.
At this point, Meng Ce understood that everyone could hear Xu Yinyin's thoughts, and his plan to trick Wu Jun into coming was half successful.
Although he will become the focus of everyone's discussion later, in order to make Wu Jun give up, let them talk about it. Everyone has people talking behind their backs.
Thinking of this, he immediately felt relieved. He took out his phone and checked the time. Just then, Wu Jun's message came in: [I'm at the garage.]
【I'm in the restaurant on the third floor. 】
【good. 】
Wu Jun excitedly took out a blue velvet box from his pocket. Inside was the gift he had chosen for Meng Ce as his new job gift: a custom-made Patek Philippe watch, a couple's watch.
On the way here, he had an urge to express his feelings to him immediately, take him away and completely get out of his father's control.
But when I think about the possibility that my impulse might scare the other person, causing him to reject me or stay away from me, it becomes a waste of time.
After thinking about it for a long time, Xisi decided to show up at the company first, using the banner of a friend to let everyone know the power behind Meng Ce, which would make things easier for him at work.
Then, through one or two occasional physical contacts, you can express your feelings without showing it.
There are many smart people in the workplace. They can figure out the general idea of many things without you having to say anything.
With the speculation of smart people, when Meng Ce approaches Xu Yinyin, those who want to please Xu Yanwen's daughter will definitely remind him indirectly. If Xu Yinyin is smart enough, she will naturally stay away from Meng Ce.
As long as she is unwilling to take the initiative, or even rejects it, Meng Ce will not be able to sway her in the slightest even if he uses all means. Then his father will naturally be speechless, and the plan will be shelved.
He neither alarmed Meng Ce nor stopped his father's plan, and let Xu Yinyin stay away on her own initiative. It was simply killing three birds with one stone!
If he wasn't driving, he would have wanted to applaud himself. How could he be so smart?
After Wu Jun stepped out of the elevator, he let out a deep breath, then put on his usual confident smile and strode towards the restaurant.
Unexpectedly, after taking a few steps, he saw Meng Ce and Xu Yinyin sitting side by side, like the moon surrounded by everyone.
Isn't this just the first day? How come we're sitting together?!
Wu Jun's confident smile cracked for half a second, then closed again in an instant when a certain employee glanced back. Then, under the other person's surprised gaze, he softly called Meng Ce: "Ace."
Meng Ce turned around and met his brilliant smile and the tenderness in his eyes.
Sometimes, people are just strange. When some disgusting news comes into your mind in an unexpected way, your brain will amplify this disgust when you encounter it again.
So much so that the moment Meng Ce saw Wu Jun, he felt nauseous for no reason. The surging stomach acid turned into a big palm, passing through his stomach and spreading to his heart, making him feel astringent and bloated.
All the onlookers looked towards Wu Jun. First, Xue Weiwei reported that Wu Jun was a closeted person, then Meng Ce and Wu Jun had equally outstanding looks, and now with the gentle "Ace", the onlookers jumped up and down, their hearts pounding.
Here it comes, the much-anticipated Shura Field is here!
Whether it's the "Shuangzhu" (take the radical of the last character) CP or the "Xu Meng" CP, either they knock each other to death or beat each other to death, both are different degrees of enjoyment!
Xue Weiwei politely stood up and offered her seat, inviting him to sit down: "Mr. Wu, you are such a rare guest. Please take a seat. Please take a seat."
"Thank you." Wu Jun had already returned to his normal mood. He thanked her with a smile. His beautiful peach blossom eyes curved slightly, evoking endless charm.
Xue Weiwei sighed silently in her heart. No wonder it was so hard to meet single handsome men nowadays. It turned out that she had digested all the ideas internally.
Oh my God, you are so unfair!
After Wu Jun sat down, he subconsciously moved closer to Meng Ce while everyone was looking at him. Meng Ce then moved towards Xu Yinyin without making a sound.
Xu Yinyin: “…”
[Why does he keep leaning towards me? Maybe he knows Wu Jun is a closeted person?]
This one sentence frightened Wu Jun so much that his eyes widened slightly.
He observed the expressions of the people around him with his peripheral vision and found that everyone straightened their backs tacitly and listened attentively. He thought to himself that something was wrong.
Xu Yinyin's father had told her a long time ago that her inner voice could be heard by others, but he had never taken it seriously until now.
Would her damned inner voice reveal her true secrets?
To prevent Wu Jun from ruining his plan, Meng Ce pretended to realize it belatedly and moved his body again, "Sorry, I squeezed you."
"It's okay." Xu Yinyin replied.
[It seems I'm overthinking it. Since I'm a closeted person, how could I dare to let Meng Ce find out? If I were to be discovered, I'd lose many of my benefits. We couldn't shower together, sleep in the same bed, or hang out together often. It's better to hide it in secret than to try to get close to each other.]
The onlookers exclaimed in surprise, wow, so this is the benefit of being in a closet!
Meng Ce silently clenched his palms, and past memories flooded into his mind like a tide, bringing with him a suffocating feeling.
Wu Jun gritted his teeth secretly and glanced at the person next to him. As a result, the other person also looked at him with a curious look in his eyes.
Wu Jun was just about to take him outside for a private chat when he heard--
[By the way, I've also seen some closeted men find women to marry. They act normal on the surface, but secretly they're living a life of extravagance, keeping mistresses and male lovers. They're as unbridled as they can be. It's just that it's hard on the wives, who have to bear children for gay men. What a sin!]
I don't know if Wu Jun would be like that. After all, he's a playboy. I'm afraid he wouldn't be willing to love only one person his whole life.
[Oh my god, how do you know so much?] The system was a little unbelievable.
[Read more social news; things that destroy your worldview happen every day.]
The kids at the same table all cast inquiring glances at the two parties involved.
Wu Jun clenched his teeth tightly, suddenly not knowing which of Xu Yinyin's questions to explain?
No, not from any perspective.
Xu Yinyin messed up all his carefully prepared plans. Meng Ce already suspected him and might be recalling every little detail of their time together.
Ahhh, damn Xu Yinyin! How could there be such a curious person in the world?
[Do you think Meng Ce ever doubted Wu Jun's kindness to him for a moment?]
[Probably not. After all, straight men are big-hearted. Plus, he's completely focused on self-improvement. He wants to save enough capital as quickly as possible and stay away from the Wu family. Love and affection will only slow down his progress.]
Wu Jun paused and looked at Meng Ce in surprise, as if seeking confirmation.
Meng Ce just looked at him quietly, and a storm seemed to be brewing in his calm eyes.
He habitually put his arm around the other person's shoulder and pleaded quietly, "Ace, I--"
[Tsk tsk tsk, look, he's taking advantage of me again! Wu Jun's eyes are almost tearing when he looks at Meng Ce.]
Poor Meng Ce was kept in the dark, believing it was a pure brotherly love. However, who knows what the other party might be imagining about him. There might even be a secret room in his house filled with photos of Meng Ce, and even various underwear hidden inside.
[Oh my god, you are awesome, Umbro. You can even guess this. You are a real veteran!]
Meng Ce's pupils suddenly shrank and he looked at Wu Jun fiercely. Seeing the other party's evasive eyes, he suddenly felt a chill down his spine.
There really was a secret room in Wu Jun's private residence. He had once asked him curiously, and the other party replied that it was the place where the auction collections were placed. It turned out that he was that collection!
Moreover, when they were abroad, they ate and lived together, and their clothes were kept in the same cloakroom. He would even often lose his old underwear, and a new one would appear the next day.
Ahhhh, I can’t think about it anymore, I’m so dirty!!!
The disgust in Meng Ce's eyes deeply hurt Wu Jun.
He tried hard to suppress the anger and panic in his heart and said to him, "Ace, let's go out to eat. I suddenly want to eat French food."
[Oh, and you're even eating French food? You look so reserved. I bet you just want to spend more time with him. Your clingy attitude is really annoying.]
Meng Ce took a deep breath, and it was obvious that he had been holding back. "There are only forty minutes left for lunch break. It's too late."
"Please ask for leave, just ask for leave." Wu Jun's tone was filled with a hint of trepidation in his pleading.
"It's not easy to ask for leave on your first day at work, Wu Jun, could you please stop making trouble?"
"No, you must come with me." Wu Jun grabbed the other person's wrist, with anger and pleading in his eyes.
He was going crazy. He knew he had listened to him and found flaws in their past interactions. He hated him and found him disgusting!
[Oh Momo, here comes the plundering, exciting! ]
Meng Ce calmly broke free from his grip, suppressed his temper and said coldly, "I still have to go to work, remember?"
Wu Jun's eyes flickered. He was reminding him that he was here to repay his father's kindness in cultivating him and for the sake of their friendship.
But he changed the taste of everything.
He even had the illusion that he was about to say goodbye to himself.
No, he doesn't want this.
"What the hell are you doing at work? Follow me, right now, right now!"
Wu Jun changed from her previous gentle demeanor, and with red eyes, she grabbed his wrist in an aggressive manner.
Meng Ce looked at him for a few seconds, then slowly stood up, shook off his hand and walked straight out of the restaurant.
The onlookers wanted to follow, but no one dared to move. They looked at each other in confusion, pretending to be confused, but in fact they were waiting for the princess to bring out the next big news.
Xu Yinyin looked at everyone and was also confused.
[Oh my, this young master is too pretentious. If he asks for something, he must get it immediately. He's spoiled!]
[Just based on this dog-like temper, who can stand it? Meng Ce is so pitiful, being tied to this dog-like father and son, what a pity!]
[I think since he's a top student, he'll eventually discover the other person's dirty tricks.]
I hope so.
Seeing that there were no melons to eat, the melon badgers felt a little disappointed. They wanted to chase after the melon recklessly, but they were afraid that if they knew too much, they would be targeted by the Wu father and son, and it would not be worth it to eat the melon that was meant to relieve boredom but end up with a melon with its head cut off.
[Umbro, I just updated the follow-up of Wu Yun and Meng Ce.]
【Hurry up and tell me! 】
The onlookers all pricked up their ears.
Wu Jun unexpectedly confessed his feelings to Meng Ce, affectionately presenting him with a limited-edition Patek Philippe watch, a couple's watch. He also said it was originally an inaugural gift, but now it's become a keepsake. He also said that if Wu Youde didn't like his control, he could take him away.
[I'm betting Meng Ce would definitely disagree. To a straight man, Wu Jun's affection is an offense, especially when she's using the excuse of brotherhood. Just thinking about it makes me uncomfortable.]
Yes, yes, yes, but Meng Ce is no pushover either. He's using this as an excuse to leave. Not only can he not accept the affection of his own sex, he can't stand Wu's father's control. He's always endured it for the sake of brotherhood, but now that friendship has soured, he has nothing to worry about.
This trick is a good one. This way, Wu Jun will definitely feel that all his mistakes are his own fault. Not only will he feel guilty towards Meng Ce, but he will also regret losing him completely due to his recklessness. Tsk, tsk, tsk, how miserable!
[But, you've been hiding it well before, why are you suddenly confessing? ]
The crowd of onlookers were all secretly watching Xu Yinyin. It was all thanks to you that you cut off the bad relationship in time.
[Who knows? You humans don't have set procedures for doing things. You just do whatever you want. Wasn't he just upset because he wanted to eat French food?]
[It goes without saying that it's best to stay away from a dandy like Wu Jun. The two of them aren't equal to each other, and Wu Youde treats him like a servant. If things really get to him, he'll definitely blame Meng Ce, thinking he's the one who led his son astray, and might even harm his family. Fortunately, Meng Ce is sober, otherwise it would be a tragedy.]
Meng Ce left immediately. Even Wu Jun's kneeling pleas were useless. He was now driving home to attack his father.
Ahhh, he actually wants to sever ties with his biological father, accusing him of repaying his kindness with revenge and making Meng Ce lose his dignity. His biological father is so confused by this scolding that he has him locked up. Wu Jun threatens to go find Meng Ce and jumps from the third floor, breaking his leg and falling into a coma.
The onlookers gasped in shock. They never expected Wu Jun to be so infatuated!
【Ah, is he so tough? 】
[It's no use now. Meng Ce has already left with his family on a plane.]
[Oh my god, he's even quicker. It's obvious he's prepared.]
Back when he was abroad, he had been investing in stocks without the knowledge of his father and son, secretly saving a considerable amount of money, which he had placed under the management of a trust institution. Last year, he even spent a large sum of money on three fake passports and deposited gold bars in the bank. It was clear that he had been preparing to leave.
[Sure enough, the scholar's plan was very well thought out. I've learned something. I guess I'll never see him again in this life.]
Of course.
[Alas, the company has lost another beautiful scenery, what a pity.]
[At least your crisis is over. You don't have to be seduced anymore.]
[Yes, yes, that’s the key point.]
*
Wu Youde paced back and forth anxiously outside the emergency room. He was puzzled by his son's abnormal behavior today and quickly sent people to investigate. As a result, he learned that his son had met Xu Yinyin and had become crazy since he came back. He opposed him everywhere for Meng Ce and quarreled with him as if he was possessed by evil spirits.
What kind of voice did he hear to make him do this?
Not long after, the people he sent out came back with feedback.
"Tell me quickly, what did Ayun experience today?"
If it is really related to Xu Yinyin, he must get rid of her as soon as possible.
The other party revealed Wu Jun to Meng Ce, and then scared him so much that he immediately boarded a plane and hid his identity, and left as if saying goodbye. The explosive news came out in a burst, and Wu Youde's face turned all colors, sometimes white, sometimes red, and finally turned as black as ash!
He staggered and fell on the sofa, unable to recover for a long time.
Who would have thought that the only son in the Wu family for nine generations was actually a homosexual? This is more hurtful than being struck by lightning.
What a sin he has committed!
The wealth he painstakingly accumulated, the power he racked his brains to seize, and the future plans he prepared for his descendants were all destroyed by Wu Jun.
If he can't get married and have children normally, then what future does the Wu family have?!
No, he would never allow such a human tragedy to happen.
Heal! We must straighten him out.
Even if he had to search for famous doctors all over the world and spend all his money, he would still turn his bastard son around.
"Prepare a private plane and transfer the young master to the hospital in Country M. Quick!"
As the workday was about to end, Xu Yanwen received a handwritten letter of resignation from Wu Youde, saying that he was unwell and needed to go abroad for recuperation and was unable to take care of the company's affairs. He also sold 10% of his shares to Xu Hongtian at a low price, which meant he had completely left Fengyi.
After reading the resignation letter, Xu Yanwen was stunned for a long time.
Wu Youde is the most like a Pixiu among the three elders. He always eats and never spits out. Now he is willing to sell his shares at a low price. This is too surprising.
So she asked her confidant to check, and it turned out that it was her niece's credit again. She was really at a loss for words for a moment.
Who would have thought that the biggest problem plaguing the company would be solved in such a ridiculous way? It's really hard to describe.
Without Zheng Rui and Wu Youde, the iron triangle was finally broken up, and the crisis that his father had always been afraid of was completely resolved. All that remained was for his family to clean up.
She picked up her bag and went straight to Xu Hongtian's residence to tell him the good news.
Xu Hongtian had already received the news, and before Xu Yanwen could even open her mouth, she said directly, "You rushed here in such a hurry, you must have told me more than just this."
Xu Yanwen laughed and leaned against her father's shoulder affectionately, "I think it's time for our family's true daughter to return to her place."
"As expected of my daughter, she and I think alike."
"I've always known that you had this thought on the first day Yinyin came back. But because of the complex intertwined forces within the company, you were afraid that someone with ulterior motives would seize on Yinyin and make a big fuss about her. Not only would it be difficult to clear your name, but it would also cause unnecessary trouble, so you kept it to yourself."
"Now that the two largest factions have fallen, Zhao Xing can't do anything alone. The various factions have either left or pledged their loyalty. The dust has basically settled. Holding a family reunion banquet at this time can, on the one hand, clear Yinyin's name, and, on the other hand, leverage the company's recent achievements to show everyone that Yinyin is truly worthy of her reputation. It's a two-pronged approach."
Xu Hongtian nodded. "I was originally worried that Yinyin's voice would put her in danger, but seeing those cunning old foxes being defeated one after another, suffering losses in silence, and leaving in disgrace, I feel that Yinyin is someone who can take on great responsibilities. That Xiaoqi is even a hidden master. Yinyin and him are a perfect match. My Xu family has a successor, and I will have no regrets even if I die."
"I won't let you say that. Big Brother and I, Yinyin, and Yaoyao are here to share the burden for you. You'll definitely live a long life, don't you understand?"
"Okay, okay, Dad won't say anything more. Let's hold the family recognition banquet this weekend. I must give a grand feast to the guests so that everyone can know about our precious Yin Yin."
What kind of gossip should be brought up at the family reunion party?
