chapter 23
11:40 PM.
Meng Youcheng waited quietly at the company entrance for Mo Chengyu.
Xu Zaixing's plan is very strange...
He asked Meng Youcheng to take Mo Chengyu to a restaurant for a meal.
He then invited Gu Jingyun to dinner at that restaurant as well…
The goal is to get them to meet?
Meng Youcheng couldn't understand, and the boy didn't explain it to him. He just said to him calmly, "Trust yourself. No matter what, I will never lie to you."
There's a strange sense of security...
At this moment, Meng Youcheng remained here, beginning to review the entire incident...
Why was Xu Zaixing willing to help him?
He couldn't find a reason, nor could he understand it.
Perhaps, as Xu Shaonian said, he was someone who desperately lacked friends, and the sudden appearance of a brother was a great joy for him...
I don't understand...
In Meng Youcheng's heart, his brothers did hold a relatively important place, but not so important that he was willing to lend a helping hand for anything, regardless of danger.
Moreover, the time he spent with Xu Zaixing was not long...
There was no brotherly bond between them, yet he was willing to take that punch for me?
He was conflicted and couldn't figure it out.
Perhaps it's because I have plenty of brothers and friends in my own life that I can't empathize with them?
Just then, a taxi appeared in front of him, interrupting his thoughts...
Mo Chengyu got out of the taxi...
"I waited there for ages, but the bus never came. Sigh..."
The young man sighed, closed the car door, and said to the driver, "I've transferred the money to you..."
As the taxi drove away, he turned to Meng Youcheng and said, "Come on, bro, what are you planning to treat me to?"
The man smiled. "Shall I treat you to hot pot?"
"So stingy...?" The young man sighed, walked up to him, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Come on, come on, I'm starving..."
Meng Youcheng nodded, "Okay..."
The two walked towards the hot pot restaurant...
Mo Chengyu suddenly said, "Young Chairman Xu, what did he say? Besides praising how good it looked, didn't he say anything else? Was there anything that needed to be changed?"
Meng Youcheng looked at him...
I did just show the design drafts to Xu Zaixing, and he didn't say anything, just that they were all okay...
"Um."
"Hmm..." the young man chuckled. "They also said that the Xu family is particularly difficult to please, but I think they're quite nice..."
"Actually, I had prepared a backup plan, just waiting for him to find fault, but I didn't expect him to pass it so quickly. Don't you think I'm amazing?"
The man thought for a moment...
"Actually, they just don't understand Xu Zaixing..."
"He's not a picky person. He's a good person, not as scary as the rumors say."
Mo Chengyu looked at him, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping himself...
"Actually, I've thought about this question too. I still can't make up my mind about who Chairman Xu is and whether he's as rumored..."
"According to you, he looks very innocent and doesn't seem like a scheming person at all, which is true, but..."
"The news circulating about him doesn't seem fake. However, thankfully, we won't have much interaction with him. Whether he's good or bad, it doesn't really matter to us."
Meng Youcheng didn't speak, just walked on blankly...
"Once this deal is finished, just delete him on WeChat..."
"Huh? Why?"
The young man thought for a moment, "Because it's no longer valuable. You added him to better complete the design, right? Now that the design is finished, let's not interact anymore..."
"But……"
"He's always been from high society, we're not, Yu Cheng. There are some things I still need to tell you. The gap between us and him isn't small, so..."
"Try not to fall in love with him."
Meng Youcheng glanced at him, smiled, and said, "What are you thinking now? How could I possibly...?"
"I'm just reminding you, I didn't misunderstand..."
The young man continued, "We are from the lower class, different from those in high society, just like Gu Jingyun and I back then..."
"Everyone advised me not to be with him because he's not only a man, but also the son of Chairman Gu; his advantages are practically maxed out..."
"But I didn't listen to what the people around me were saying at the time..."
"So, when his mother found me and showed me the video of him with another girl, it all suddenly dawned on me..."
"The gap between us cannot be erased or eliminated by me."
The man patted him on the shoulder. "Alright, don't think about it too much, let's go eat hot pot..."
The two entered the store...
As soon as Meng Youcheng entered the store, he saw Xu Zaixing and Gu Jingyun...
The two of them sat together, chatting and laughing, with steam rising from the hot pot in the middle—it was all perfectly normal...
With the two of them seated in the center, it was hard for them not to be noticed.
Because Gu Jingyun had his back to them, he didn't notice them. But Xu Zaixing was different; he seemed to have been staring at the door the whole time, waiting for Meng Youcheng and the others to come over...
Besides Meng Youcheng, Mo Chengyu also saw the two people.
The young man sighed, "What's wrong with you? You can't even choose a good hot pot restaurant? I have to see some annoying people while eating hot pot, damn it, I don't want to eat here anymore…!"
Mo Chengyu was about to leave when the man quickly grabbed him. "The reservation was already made, might as well eat it. It cost me several hundred yuan, and I didn't even know they'd be here..."
The young man looked at him. "Can I get my money back?"
"Definitely not..."
Meng Youcheng thought for a moment and said, "Anyway, we're not sitting with them. I booked another table. It's just a meal, we'll go home afterward. You wouldn't...?"
"Scared now?"
"Afraid? Ha..."
Mo Chengyu sneered, "How could that be? Who am I afraid of? Afraid of that bitch Gu Jingyun? I'm not afraid at all! Let's eat, let's go...!"
The idea is to compete, the idea is to compete… …
Xu Zaixing is truly a prophet; he's really capable!
He actually knew that Mo Chengyu was going to leave after seeing Gu Jingyun, and he even specially taught him how to use reverse psychology.
He also accurately predicted that Mo Chengyu would compromise...
He's really amazing...!
He had barely met Mo Chengyu, yet he was able to clearly understand the other's hidden thoughts...
In Meng Youcheng's mind, this guy has already been deified!
The two arrived at the spot designated by Meng Youcheng and sat down...
This location wasn't far from Xu Zaixing and his group, but it wasn't exactly close either...
Mo Chengyu called the waiter over and was just about to order...
Before they even started ordering, Xu Zaixing coughed a little loudly, "Cough cough, Brother Jingyun, this beef slice is so spicy, I almost choked to death..."
The young man rolled his eyes. He looked at Meng Youcheng in front of him and said, "Since you said you'd treat me, I'll order a little more. You don't mind, do you?"
Meng Youcheng gave a wry smile, "We're all brothers, what are you saying? Order whatever you want to eat, there's no need to give our brothers..."
"save money."
Just as the young man was about to order, he heard Gu Jingyun's concerned voice, "Are you alright, Xiao Xu? Would you like a drink? Is it too spicy?"
"Oh……"
Mo Chengyu sneered, "You're quite the 'caring' one?"
"Sir, what did you say?"
The waiter bowed his head and asked, "What would you like to order? I didn't hear you clearly, sorry..."
The young man looked up at him. "It's okay, I want this, and also..."
"It's alright, Brother Yun..."
Xu Zaixing added, "I choked and feel a little unwell. Thank you for your concern; no one has ever cared about me before..."
Gu Jingyun immediately smiled. "Are you really alright? Should I go get a bottle of Coke?"
"Brother Yun, why are you smiling? You look so handsome when you smile..."
Gu Jingyun laughed again, "Really? But... you shouldn't call me Brother Yun anymore, it makes me feel really awkward. By the way, do you not have many friends? We can get together more often to chat..."
Mo Chengyu's lips twitched. "Brother Yun, you're calling him that so damn affectionately!"
Waiter: "Sir, what did you say?"
I said, "Thank you, that's all..."
Meng Youcheng sat on the stool, somewhat bewildered...
He couldn't understand why Xu Zaixing was doing this, but Master Xing must have his reasons...
But this 180cm tall boy seemed a little unhappy.
The waiter took the menu and left...
Meng Youcheng looked at him and said, "Is this all we're going to eat?"
"Yeah, you've had it tough too, so there's no need for that..."
"Brother Yun, I'm hungry. Can you feed me a piece of tripe?"
Gu Jingyun: "Okay... I'll help you pick it up..."
Seeing their shameless behavior, Mo Chengyu finally couldn't take it anymore and suddenly stood up...
Meng Youcheng was startled. "Chengchengyu, what are you doing?"
The young man lowered his head, muttering to himself, "I can't get angry, I can't get angry. Anger is bad for my health. Besides, we're even now, why should I get angry? Yeah, why should I get angry? We've been broken up for a long time..."
"What does it matter to me if he's flirting with other people? It's normal, I have no right to interfere. I need to calm down, I fucking need to calm down, it's none of my business..."
"Brother Yun..."
"Little Xu..."
Mo Chengyu's hand gradually clenched into a fist, the veins on the back of his hand bulging, as he continued to mutter to himself, "Why the hell am I not angry? Why do I have to digest it all myself? Why the hell can't I be angry...?"
"Damn it, that bitch, she's even interfering in my life now, why can't I discipline her? Damn it, that bitch, she's always making me angry, and she even called me shameless, now she's finally got her chance...?"
"Damn it! Beat him to death!!!"
