I would explain it to him in person.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Xu Feng collapsed weakly in his own lounge, his mind filled with An Yang\u2019s voice from last night.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Last night, he had lost control for the first time, like a fool, asking repeatedly what had happened with An Yang, how he could have said that. But An Yang only said he had helped them.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">He could only watch helplessly as An Yang went back to his room and locked the door, unable to say a word.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">He couldn\u2019t even find the room key, after all, he rarely stayed home.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Xu Feng really didn\u2019t know what An Yang was thinking. He had already agreed to follow his mother\u2019s wishes and live well with him, so why would he mention divorce?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>\u2026<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Moreover, Yun Cheng was busy with his project and hadn\u2019t contacted him at all.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">But if he said he didn\u2019t want a divorce, after he had proposed it first, wouldn\u2019t that make it his fault?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Besides, the conditions An Yang proposed were indeed the wishes he had mentioned before.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Xu Feng thought about it, and his expression grew even darker.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">He had obviously gotten what he wanted, yet he felt humiliated, without any joy at all.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Brother Zhang looked at Xu Feng collapsing on the sofa, his expression shifting between gloomy and bright, and could only speak helplessly.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>\u201c<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Hey, I say, ancestor, didn\u2019t you just say you didn\u2019t want to marry An Yang? Marrying An Yang felt like it would kill you, and now it\u2019s only been a few months, he\u2019s taking the initiative to ask for a divorce, why are you acting so dramatic? Could it be that you don\u2019t want the divorce?\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Brother Zhang\u2019s words sounded like mockery to Xu Feng, and he immediately rebutted.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>\u201c<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">How could I not want a divorce? We got the number this morning! Now we just needed to wait in line, and in three months we could get the certificate! By the way, don\u2019t tell my parents about this. If they hear it from you first, the marriage might not end at all.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Xu Feng spoke as if full of momentum, but anyone could see his bluster.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Brother Zhang looked even more helpless, but he was happy inside that An Yang would soon be free.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">It wasn\u2019t that he didn\u2019t want to see his subordinate artist, but honestly, staying by Xu Feng\u2019s side had completely been a torment and psychological abuse for An Yang.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Previously, Brother Zhang couldn\u2019t help An Yang escape the suffering, although he felt guilty, he didn\u2019t risk himself. But now that An Yang had escaped on his own, he was quite pleased.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Yet on the surface, he still spoke worriedly.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>\u201c<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">So, ancestor, what exactly are you still worrying about? Shouldn\u2019t you happily divorce An Yang and then go get the certificate with Yun Cheng? An Yang even planned to take all the responsibility on himself, so why are you still so dejected?\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Xu Feng opened his mouth but couldn\u2019t say a word, showing a pensive expression. Brother Zhang felt uneasy seeing Xu Feng like that, if he really started using his completely unused brain, An Yang would be the one suffering.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>\u201c<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Alright, alright, forget all that for now. The concert is the most important. Ancestor, this is your chance to revive your fame! We spent a huge cost to get Teacher Qin here to help you, otherwise, he really wouldn\u2019t have come.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Before Xu Feng could think it through, his attention was diverted. Hearing Brother Zhang, he snorted.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>\u201c<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">When did I ever need to rely on Qin Shi that silent guy for profit? I\u2019ve always been popular, okay? The presale tickets sold out in ten minutes, that proves my ability, right?\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Xu Feng said proudly.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Brother Zhang didn\u2019t argue. This time, they didn\u2019t arrange any shills, only a few scalpers got tickets early to resell at high prices.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Xu Feng had some ability, and whether he could retain these fans depended on him.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Now, because the Xu family was being targeted by the Qin family, they couldn\u2019t allocate much liquidity to support Xu Feng\u2014unless he paired up with a trending artist to stir hype. Otherwise, this time he really had to rely on raw talent.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Brother Zhang thought and couldn\u2019t help speaking sternly.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>\u201c<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Go rehearse immediately. Teacher Qin will be here soon. You don\u2019t want to lose in skills to him in front of him, do you? He hasn\u2019t sung for a long time.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Brother Zhang deliberately mentioned Qin Shi to Xu Feng, naturally igniting Xu Feng\u2019s fighting spirit.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">During this period, because of his reckless words, the family had fallen into financial crisis, but Xu Feng didn\u2019t think he was very wrong. He had just spoken what he saw\u2014was it unreasonable to ruin the family finances?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">But he knew business wasn\u2019t always fair, so he couldn\u2019t clash with Qin Shi.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">He didn\u2019t dare to say anything in front of Qin Shi, only holding it in and aiming to surpass him in skill, proving he was the stronger one.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">With this drive, he naturally pushed An Yang out of his mind and focused fully on rehearsal. His skills were indeed impressive, otherwise, he couldn\u2019t have enchanted An Yang so deeply back then.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Yet in breaks, he sometimes thought of An Yang, remembering both his good qualities and how easily he had spoken of divorce.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Whenever this happened, either Brother Zhang interrupted him to rehearse, or Yun Cheng took him out to relax, or Qin Shi would show off his performance skills.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>\u2026<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Although he didn\u2019t understand why Yun Cheng always appeared at the right time, he didn\u2019t want to question it. Just seeing Yun Cheng made him happy.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Xu Feng worked hard like this for three months, even on the day they went to get the divorce certificate, Brother Zhang had to transport him from home to the civil affairs bureau.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">He groggily confirmed several times, but didn\u2019t look at the certificate even after getting it. It wasn\u2019t until he went out the main gate and An Yang spoke that he suddenly realized.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Xu Feng looked at the divorce certificate in his hand, then at the one An Yang held. His previously foggy mind felt like it had been doused with ice water and cleared immediately.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">He\u2026 seemed to have divorced.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">He had really divorced An Yang.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">He had completely no connection with An Yang anymore.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Xu Feng froze in place, not understanding how he had suddenly divorced, or how he had suddenly gotten the certificate in his hand.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">He should have had three months left, shouldn\u2019t he?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">While Xu Feng struggled to process this, An Yang\u2019s voice came.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>\u201c<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Brother Xu Feng, I wish you and Brother Yun Cheng happiness in your marriage.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Looking at the young man smiling brightly in front of him, Xu Feng realized for the first time that An Yang wasn\u2019t unattractive at all\u2014he looked like the young son of a wealthy family.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>\u2018<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\"><i>Actually, An Yang looked like a doll when he was a child, quite cute. So\u2026 when exactly did I start disliking him?\u2019<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Xu Feng thought blankly, but An Yang didn\u2019t wait for a response, he simply said naturally,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>\u201c<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Brother Xu Feng, I have something to do, so I need to go to the company. I\u2019ll send the news to my parents and Aunt Xu later. Remember not to go home these days, or Aunt Xu might scold you.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">With that, An Yang quickly walked to a company-assigned car nearby, where his assistant had been waiting for him for a long time.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Xu Feng stared blankly as An Yang got in the car and drove out of sight.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">He realized that after marrying An Yang, he hadn\u2019t even thought about buying him a car, even though he should have had a driver\u2019s license.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">And the couple from the An family hadn\u2019t thought about buying him a car either, instead, they kept replacing their own cars one after another.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Xu Feng didn\u2019t know why so many thoughts suddenly flooded his mind, nor why news of An Yang kept surfacing in his head. He thought he might just be sentimental because of the divorce today, and maybe going out for a drink with friends would help.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">With this in mind, he opened his phone.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">An Yang didn\u2019t know what Xu Feng was thinking behind him, he just looked at the sunlight outside the window and felt more relaxed than ever.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">That evening, in the private room of a bar.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>\u201c\u2014<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">You\u2019re not him, you\u2019re not An Yang, I want An Yang here!\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Yun Cheng looked at this madman, who had called him over and was now shouting for An Yang, and felt his fists clench.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">The rich playboys beside him quietly raised their glasses to cover their faces.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Although Yun Cheng knew Xu Feng wasn\u2019t very smart, he didn\u2019t expect him to be so foolish that he only realized he had feelings for An Yang after divorcing him.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Yun Cheng was extremely glad to have escaped in time. At most, during the divorce cooling-off period, he had agreed to An Yang\u2019s request to appear occasionally in front of Xu Feng to ensure the divorce went smoothly.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Although Yun Cheng didn\u2019t know why An Yang suddenly became clear-headed, seeing Xu Feng now, he truly thought An Yang had done the right thing.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Moreover, by not giving Xu Feng time to think, An Yang had gotten the divorce certificate in one precise move within three months\u2014Yun Cheng had to admit, that was impressive.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>\u2018<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\"><i>This little love-struck brain works pretty well once it clears up\u2019 <\/i><\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Yun Cheng thought with some appreciation.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Then, hearing Xu Feng shouting \u201cAn Yang, An Yang,\u201d his expression turned a bit disdainful. He hated himself for having once blindly chosen Xu Feng. Why hadn\u2019t he cut his losses in time? Otherwise, he wouldn\u2019t still have to come here to comfort Xu Feng.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">He was now even afraid to be in the same room with this guy.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Yun Cheng genuinely suspected that when Xu Feng saw his face, he would blame him for all his mistakes\u2014just as he had previously blamed everything on An Yang.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Thinking this, Yun Cheng shivered. It seemed he had to return all the gifts Xu Feng had given him before.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">This guy was capable of doing such a thing, and Xu Feng might not even see it as stingy, but as punishment like in a novel from a domineering CEO.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">While mentally tallying the gifts Xu Feng had given him, Yun Cheng was also relieved he hadn\u2019t been greedy for Xu Feng\u2019s money.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Otherwise, he might really have been in trouble this time.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Thinking this, Yun Cheng said to the slightly embarrassed playboys present,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>\u201c<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">It seems <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Xu F<\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">eng got drunk. I won\u2019t stay long either, after all, I have a boyfriend. It would be bad if there was a misunderstanding.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Yun Cheng decisively confirmed the boyfriend story with the little host.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Whether the host knew he was his boyfriend wasn\u2019t important, a few kind words would smooth things over. He had many boyfriends, so he didn\u2019t care about just this one.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Saying that, Yun Cheng ignored the playboys\u2019 attempts to keep him and quickly ran to the corridor outside, then dashed down the stairs.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Speed-Escape.jpg<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Never had Xu Feng seen Yun Cheng, usually so gentle, move so fast\u2014as if a pack of spoiled rich kids were being chased by dogs\u2026<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">They exchanged a glance.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Good. Now, who would take Xu Feng home?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Getting Xu Feng home wasn\u2019t hard. The tricky part was that the Xu family would definitely ask what Xu Feng had done.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Should they really reveal from their mouths that Xu Feng had divorced An Yang?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Everyone knew why Old Master Xu had decided on An Yang in the first place. Many in the social circle had envied Xu Feng. Who would\u2019ve thought he would blow it himself?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Even if Yun Cheng didn\u2019t want to stay by Xu Feng\u2019s side\u2014a piece of good news\u2014the Xu family might not see it as good news but as a problem.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">The group of rich kids originally planned to send Liang Qing to the Xu house. After all, he had just received a project, so in front of the Xu family, he clearly had a better survival chance than the rest.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">But Liang Qing, with a sour face, said: &#8220;You know, our family was set up by the Qin family recently, and we\u2019re still recovering. The Xu family might not show us any favor.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">The rich kids thought he had a point, and after discussing, they made a decision.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>\u2014<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Call Xu Feng\u2019s manager.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Late at night, Brother Zhang, hugging his cat in bed, received the call: \u201c\u2026\u2026\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">In his past life, he slaughtered pigs, in this life, he taught.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Although he was a manager, he now felt like a kindergarten teacher.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">When Teacher Zhang received Xu Feng, he kept shouting An Yang\u2019s name.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">But Zhang Ge wouldn\u2019t call An Yang late at night and disturb his sleep.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Even if he called An Yang over, the next day, would Xu Feng admit he had called? Uncertain.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">So Brother Zhang didn\u2019t delay, he drove quickly toward the Xu residence. To his surprise, the house was fully lit\u2014even the living room lights were on.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Strange, but he didn\u2019t mind. He handed Xu Feng over to the butler.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">When the butler asked what had happened, Brother Zhang helplessly said,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>\u201c<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Ah Feng got drunk at the bar with friends. Their friends were also drunk, couldn\u2019t send him, so here I am.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">The butler nodded knowingly and whispered,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>\u201c<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">It\u2019s because of the divorce between the young master and young master An, right?\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Brother Zhang was surprised, he didn\u2019t know how the butler knew. The butler sighed and pointed to the brightly lit living room,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>\u201c<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">The young master already sent a message to Madam\u2019s phone. Now Madam is questioning the An family inside. That couple is also there, but no one can reach the young master\u2014he probably enabled Do Not Disturb, and with President Ye protecting him, no one dares disturb him.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">The butler looked sympathetically at Xu Feng still calling for An Yang.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>\u2014<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">If Xu Feng went inside, he\u2019d be in big trouble.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Brother Zhang broke out in a cold sweat, looked at the butler\u2019s supportive gesture, and quietly carried Xu Feng back to the car.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">If Xu Feng went in, the news tomorrow might read: \u201cXu Feng assaulted by family, dies at home.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Brother Zhang started the car, floored it, and the butler shouted in unison: &#8220;Young master is taken away!\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Perfect coordination. Both workers avoided blame.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Workers helping workers.jpg<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">However, when Brother Zhang dropped Xu Feng at the hotel, he felt he had forgotten something.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">After thinking, he still couldn\u2019t find it. The paparazzi were handled, nothing could leak to the media.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Until the next day, the Xu family called him\u2014only then did he realize what he had forgotten.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>\u2014<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">He had forgotten the rich kids he failed to warn, they had spread the news of Xu Feng divorcing An Yang to most of the elite families!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Brother Zhang: What were they thinking?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">The next morning, Xu Feng woke up, unaware he had narrowly escaped disaster, fully immersed in the fact he had divorced.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Then he realized the news had spread throughout most of the elite, and everyone knew he had divorced.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Yet Xu Feng, desperate to save face, acted casually. He planned to go to a rehearsal, and just entering the lounge, he ran into Xu mother sitting authoritatively in the rehearsal room.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">She slapped him, leaving a red mark.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Luckily, it wasn\u2019t a scratch, it would fade in two or three days, which made Brother Zhang relieved.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">But Brother Zhang had to explain to Xu mother the importance of Xu Feng\u2019s face. Xu mother initially thought of pulling <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Brother <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Zhang away, but when Brother Zhang explained how important this concert was to Shixing, and that President Ye and Qin family would attend, Xu mother reluctantly withdrew her hand.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Then she unleashed a verbal assault on Xu Feng.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">From Xu Feng\u2019s behavior during marriage with An Yang to all the resentments she had, from him failing to inform the family to not bringing anything good home, even making the family clean up his mess.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Xu Feng initially felt guilty, but as Xu mother scolded more, he grew impatient.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">The topic cycled back to old arguments: mention An Yang, Xu Feng mentions Yun Cheng. Mother and son left on bad terms.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Xu Feng didn\u2019t know the next blow awaited him.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>\u2014<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">The next day, Yun Cheng returned all the gifts Xu Feng had sent.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">He explained that his boyfriend had gotten jealous seeing them, so they were returned.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Carefree young master: <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\"><i>H<\/i><\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\"><i>uh?<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Yun Cheng\u2019s action pierced Xu Feng\u2019s heart again.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Later, he tried to show off at a gathering with friends, claiming Yun Cheng was better than An Yang\u2014he even returned all the gifts!\u2014but a friend shattered that defense.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>\u201c<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Ah? Feng, you gave An Yang gifts?\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Xu Feng: &#8220;\u2026&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">The gathering ended in an unpleasant mood.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">After these repeated blows, Xu Feng brooded deeply for a while. Brother Zhang rejoiced, Xu Feng\u2019s face was still marketable, and his silent melancholy made him mysteriously attractive to fans.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Brother Zhang quickly secured magazine endorsements and covers, exploiting Xu Feng\u2019s gloom to the max.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">But where there\u2019s joy, there\u2019s sorrow. While Brother Zhang focused on profiting from Xu Feng\u2019s melancholy, Xu Feng was quietly setting traps for him.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">One day in the lounge, Xu Feng suddenly dropped a bomb on Brother Zhang.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>\u201c<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Brother Zhang, I\u2019ve figured it out. I\u2019m going to confess to An Yang at the concert! I want him back!\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Xu Feng said excitedly.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>\u201c<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">It was my fault for treating him that way. I thought An Yang was after my money, but it was his parents forcing him. It\u2019s all the An couple\u2019s fault. I\u2019m going to reveal them at the concert! Confess to An Yang! Bring him back!\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Brother Zhang, calculating the concert profits over the next half month, slowly turned: \u201cAh?\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">But Brother Zhang ordeal didn\u2019t end.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">After Xu Feng filled him with how he wronged An Yang and needed to make amends, Brother Zhang, dizzy, walked out and ran straight into Qin Shi.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">The pale but handsome, brooding young man looked at Brother Zhang and, unusually, raised his tone: \u201cI want to add a segment before the concert where performers interact with family and friends\u2014to show family harmony and friendship.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Brother Zhang: \u201c\u2026\u2026\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Who?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Which family?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">What harmony?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Families fighting each other are harmonious?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Brother Zhang looked at Qin Shi\u2019s expressionless face and wondered if his perception was wrong\u2026<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Or if this young master was planning trouble.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">His first thought: <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\"><i>Qin Shi wanted to use the concert to steal President Ye.<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">But on second thought, unlikely. Qin Shi had left the entertainment circle, wasn\u2019t an idol anymore. He was just earning for accompaniment, his name listed under the band, not expecting idol-level treatment.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Brother Zhang thought blankly: <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\"><i>\u2018Only Xu Feng\u2019s fans got unlucky\u2026\u2019<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>\u201c<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Xu Feng needs to coordinate with the Xu family, and the security team must be told. Whoever can come, let them come\u2026\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">He muttered, worried he couldn\u2019t stop a potential chaos.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">[\u201c\u2026Did he have this hairstyle three months ago?\u201d]<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Ye Wangxing was shocked seeing Brother Zhang, greeting guests, his shiny scalp like a bald patch.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">A calm voice spoke: \u201c[It\u2019s stress-related hair loss. Xu Feng\u2019s confession and Qin Shi\u2019s plans probably caused him considerable stress.]\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Ye Wangxing nodded knowingly. In the original plot, Brother Zhang bore heavy pressure and was later fired by the crazed Xu Feng over a bizarre reason: \u201cWhy didn\u2019t you save An Yang?\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Even the snack stall had witnessed his blood and tears.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Thinking of it, Ye Wangxing felt sympathy for Brother Zhang.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Brother Zhang realized: <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\"><i>\u2018\u2026President Ye, you might want to pity yourself instead. Young Master Qin is clearly coming for you!\u2019<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">But ten minutes later, Brother Zhang chose to pity himself.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>\u201c<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">President Qin! You\u2019re here too!\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Brother Zhang looked at the blond man in front of him and made a sharp crackling sound. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>Support translation:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/bePatron?u=25191841\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"217\" height=\"51\" class=\"wp-image-338 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ontimestory.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/become_a_patron_button.png?resize=217%2C51\" alt=\"\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 217px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 217\/51;\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ko-fi.com\/lajnaa\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ontimestory.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/kofi3-3.png?resize=185%2C47\" alt=\"This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is kofi3-3.png\" width=\"185\" height=\"47\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 185px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 185\/47;\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n\r\n<p><!--EndFragment--><\/p>\r\n<p><!--EndFragment--><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cBrother Xu Feng, I will help you and Brother Yun Cheng, I wish you both happiness.\u201d \u201cBrother Xu Feng, I will tell Auntie and my parents\u2019 side, don\u2019t worry, I wouldn\u2019t disturb your wedding with Brother Yun Cheng.\u201d \u201cBrother Xu Feng, should I call Brother Yun Cheng over tomorrow?
