Chapter 779 Hao Yue's Side Story (41)
"Sigh, when it comes to feelings, you can't really reason with them. What you imagine and what you actually encounter are completely different things." Xu Hai lit a cigarette next to him, took a couple of puffs before realizing something: "Hey, wait a minute, what kind of question is that? Do you have someone you like?"
Tang Minghao suddenly stood up and nodded: "You're right, you can't reason with feelings."
He was thinking about this and that, looking ahead and behind, trying to figure out the reason behind it.
But when it comes to matters of the heart, there's not much to explain.
It is because of liking that love gives rise to sorrow, fear, anger, and rage.
He rubbed his face and looked around for his phone: "What time is it?"
Seeing his drunken state, Xu Hai frowned and said, "It's not even one o'clock yet, you're not leaving, are you?"
"Hurry up..." Tang Minghao muttered, "I'm going to the restroom first, can you help me find my phone?"
After saying that, he turned and went to the bathroom.
Xu Hai looked at his back and assumed he was drunk, so he shook his head.
After finishing her song, Xu Zheng ran off the stage and excitedly grabbed Xu Hai's arm, asking, "Brother, how was it? Is he interested in me?"
Xu Hai glanced at her and shook his head: "No chance."
Xu Zheng immediately pouted: "How could that be?! Didn't you say he likes my type the most?! Did you not tell me properly?"
"Grandma, I've said everything I can say. What else do you want me to say? I'm just curious. You're the eldest daughter of the Xu family. You could have any man you wanted. Why did you have to fall for your brother Hao?" Xu Hai asked, puzzled.
“What do you know? Gao Yingying can like him, so why can’t I? He and Gao Yingying are close, and Gao Yingying brags to me every day. Anyway, if she has it, I have to have it too. I not only want to have it, but I also want to be with him to make that little bitch angry! Please help me put in a good word for her, brother…” Xu Zheng grabbed Xu Hai’s arm and shook it repeatedly.
Xu Hai had drunk quite a bit today, and she shook him so hard he almost threw up. He quickly replied, "Okay, okay, I know, just let go of me."
Xu Zheng was satisfied and was about to say something when she suddenly heard the phone ring.
She searched for a long time before finding a cell phone tucked into the sofa cushions.
She took it out: "Is this Hao-ge's phone?"
"It seems so. Just leave it there and don't let him touch it," Xu Hai said, frowning.
Xu Zheng glanced at the caller ID—"Little Moon".
It sounds like some innocent, flirtatious girl.
Ignoring Xu Hai's words, she answered the phone directly: "Hello, who are you looking for?"
The other end was silent for two seconds, then hung up.
Xu Zheng: "?"
She exclaimed incredulously, "She hung up on me?! How dare she hang up on me?!"
Xu Hai was speechless: "Was that your call that she hung up on?!"
He snatched the phone from her hand: "You're really sick in the head. I told you this is your brother Hao's phone, and you still let him touch it. Be careful he comes back and punishes you!"
Xu Zheng snorted twice: "It's just a phone call, I'll answer it. Anyway, the person on the other end is definitely not a good person. Who knows how long they've been bothering him? If I answer it for him, I'm helping him!"
"I'm really impressed by you. You can even make something out of nothing."
Xu Hai rolled his eyes and just as he put the phone on the coffee table, Tang Minghao came out of the bathroom.
He washed his face and looked much more refreshed.
Xu Zheng saw him and quickly went up to him: "Brother Hao..."
Tang Minghao immediately dodged her, picked up the phone on the coffee table, and said to Xu Hai, "I have something to do, I'm leaving now."
Xu Hai: "?"
He quickly stood up: "What's wrong with you? It's not even the second half yet, and you're already leaving?"
Tang Minghao hummed in agreement: "Have fun with your people. Put today's expenses on my tab."
"Hey, you're the birthday person. What am I supposed to do if you leave and I'm taking people out to play?"
Xu Hai's voice only elicited a response from Tang Minghao, who turned his head away without ever turning back.
Xu Zheng, standing nearby, stared in disbelief: "What?! Bro, he's just gone like that?!"
Xu Hai rubbed his head: "Who knows what's wrong with him? Forget it, let's do our own thing. There are a lot of handsome guys here today, you can look around some more, don't put all your eggs in one basket."
"No, I like Minghao, and I want to be with him!" Xu Zheng said stubbornly as she sat back down on the sofa.
Xu Hai said helplessly, "Fine, fine, if you like it, then go ahead and bang your head against the wall. I bet you don't know how to cry until you feel pain."
Tang Minghao had been drinking, so he had no choice but to take a taxi home.
The house was empty and deserted, so he didn't want to go back. He decided to find a hotel nearby to stay for the night and asked the driver to take him to the nearest one.
He wanted to call Wen Yue in the car, but when he pressed his phone, he found two missed calls.
He was stunned for a moment, then opened the caller ID and found that the caller was Wen Yue.
His heart skipped a beat, and he was about to call back when his gaze swept over the time and he saw that it was already past one o'clock. He hesitated for a moment, wondering if he should wait until tomorrow morning to do it.
As a result of this hesitation, a quiet phone call suddenly came in.
His hand was above the button when the call started, and he instinctively pressed the answer button.
The next moment, a silent roar pierced through the receiver—"Tang Minghao, you've really made something of yourself, haven't you?! We just cleared things up for you before, and you've already stirred up another scandal. How can you face Yueyue?!"
Tang Minghao was stunned: "Rumors? What rumors?"
"You didn't know? The company's PR department is working overtime until dawn just for you, and you're telling me you didn't know!" If they were face to face, An Jing would want to breathe fire on him: "I'm asking you, were you with that young lady from the Xu family, Xu Zheng, tonight?"
Tang Minghao's temples throbbed, and it took him two seconds to realize who Xu Zheng was.
He rubbed his head and said, "I am with her, but it's not what you think..."
"Who cares what really happened? Is it your fans who care, or those bystanders online who just want to gossip?! They only care about your scandalous news and speculate about whose bed you woke up in today! Tang Minghao, yesterday was your birthday, Yueyue waited for you at your house all night, and you went out to fool around with other girls, you really don't disappoint me at all!"
After finishing her rant, Anjing hung up the phone.
Tang Minghao held the phone, his mind unable to process what was happening for a moment.
What do you mean he went out and fooled around with other girls?
And what do you mean by saying Yueyue waited for him all night?
She... went to his house?
Realizing what was happening, he quickly said to the driver, "Driver, turn around and go to Shanshui'an."
As the car drove towards Shanshui'an, Tang Minghao checked the trending topics on the road—it turned out that when he went to Xiaodonghai, Xu Hai and his sister greeted him. In the middle of the journey, he received a phone call, leaving him alone with his sister Xu Zheng. At that moment, paparazzi took pictures of them together, which were then released as juicy gossip.
He'd been through this kind of thing many times before, and even though he knew it was all fake, the comments from netizens and the paparazzi's seemingly serious words still made him feel a sudden unease for the first time.
Thinking of what An Jing had just said, this time he didn't hesitate and dialed Wen Yue's number directly.
