In order to make a good impression on Qu Cheng, Xu Xinian specially changed into a light blue sweater with a hood before going to the appointment. Wearing a solid-color linen shirt, washed white jeans and white canvas shoes, the whole person is refreshing , like an unworldly college freshman.
For him, Qu Cheng is not only the big moneymaker to please, but more importantly, the person he has been thinking about for a long time. This kind of taste is like a person who has been hungry for a long time and finally sees a piece of cheesecake. But he couldnât eat as much as his mouth was, so before opening the door of the restaurant, he had been practicing the smile on his face, trying to make himself look innocent and harmless.
Everything was ready, he pulled up a shy smile and pushed open the door of the restaurant, only to be stunned by the scene in front of him.
There was not a single customer in the entire restaurant, the lights were dim, violet scented candles were lit everywhere, the violinist stood in the corner playing melodious music, and the waiter at the door bowed politely to him, âExcuse me, itâs Mr. Xu Xinnian? Mr. Qu has been waiting for you for a long time, please come with me this way.â
Xu Xinnian is the eldest young master for more than ten years, and he has never seen such a romantic scene. He was blank, and even forgot to put on the iconic smile, and ignorantly followed the footsteps of the waiter.
Opening a white door carved with roses, Xu Xinnian saw Qu Cheng sitting at the table at a glance.
The candlelight flickered in the private room, reflecting Qu Chengâs slashed profile face. He turned around when he heard the movement, and saw Xu Xinnian stand up immediately and smiled, âXinnian, you are finally here.â
He was wearing a straight black slim-fit suit greeted him, his eyebrows and eyes softened, âWhy are you standing there, why donât you come in?â
At this time, Xu Xinnian came back to his senses, staring at Qu Chengâs smile, he was a little overwhelmed, and his ears were also hot. He got up, âBrother Cheng, whatâs this⊠whatâs going on?â
âDo you like it?â Qu Cheng pulled him to the dining table, and the gentleman helped him open the chair, âI know you donât want others to point their finger at you. So, after you decided to meet here yesterday, I wrapped up the entire restaurant, and now there are only the two of us here, so you donât need to feel uncomfortable anymore.â
Xu Xinnian was stunned for a moment, and then he murmured. Not a word was said.
Since the video of Dong Feng and him was exposed, he has hardly had a comfortable day. Those media reporters are like headless flies, questioning him every day with long guns and short cannons.
No matter where he went, there were people talking behind his back, âThis is who is who, who is a bastard sonâ, even when he returned home, Xu Jianguo didnât give him a good face, and directly threw him out of the Xu familyâs old house and settled in a dilapidated old house on the outskirts.
With so much sneering and ridicule, no one gave him anything but abuse. He comforted him for a while, but now Qu Cheng didnât ask him about his troubles, so he thoughtfully helped him consider it so thoroughly, how could he not be moved.
âBrother Cheng, Iâve heard a lot of slander, and those who are clear are self-clearing, I donât care what those people say about me, as long as youâre willing to believe me.â
He looked at Qu Cheng with bright eyes, his eyes were flushed with water, and he bit his lower lip lightly, looking like a child who had been wronged and pretended to be strong.
Qu Cheng gave him a distressed look, sighed, and patted the back of his hand, âForget about the past, I asked you out today to make you happy, stop thinking about those messy things.â
A simple action, but it shows concern. Xu Xinnian has long been a veteran of manipulating peopleâs hearts. Seeing the way Qu Cheng treats him, his heart is even more excited. âWell, youâre right, Iâm very happy to see you today, and I shouldnât make you worry about me any more.â
âSilly boy.â Qu Cheng touched his head with a smile, and pushed the plate of cut steak in front of him, âWe have time, donât rush to chat, are you hungry?â Try this french steak, I ordered it for you.
Xu Xinnian widened his eyes, his eyelashes quivered obediently, âHow do you know I like this dish?â
Itâs your good brother who specifically told me, will I tell you?
Qu Cheng sneered in his heart, but he still looked affectionate on the surface, âI was afraid that you had something you didnât like, so I asked a lot of people about it. The restaurant you frequent, only after you know you like this⊠sorry, shouldnât I be so presumptuous to inquire about your privacy?â
Xu Xinnianâs heart beat faster and faster, and his palms were sweating slightly.
A man is willing to spend his time trying to inquire about your taste. He knows what it means. At this moment, his heart is filled with sweetness. He suddenly feels that he is a blessing in disguise.
ââŠYou, you donât need to apologize, itâs not a privacy thing, I can tell you if you want to know.â
He lowered his head and whispered, poking at the steak in front of him with a fork, his cheeks turning red.
Qu Cheng smiled, and after adding some red wine to him, he took out a cowhide envelope from his pocket and pushed it in front of Xu , âIâm too busy these days, I didnât have time to find you in the first place, Iâm very sorry. Iâm sorry⊠Although this is very vulgar, but I am a rude person who doesnât understand those fancy things, so I can only give you money, you take these, you are my friend⊠a little thought for you.â
He said âfriendâ When it comes to two words, the tone is very bad, like very annoyed in such a relationship.
Xu Xinnian stared at the thick envelope, heaved a sigh of relief, and at the same time moved his nose slightly sore.
The icing on the cake is easy, but it is difficult to send charcoal in the snow. When he was already in such a state of embarrassment, Qu Cheng was willing to help him. Does this mean that Qu Cheng treats him like himself, and is a little different?
He is a master of observing words and expressions. His eyes turned red when it was time, and he immediately shed tears, âBrother Cheng⊠donât you dislike me? I⊠Actually, I am not as good as you think.â
Yes, you think better than I do. He also needs to be able to act, and even more vicious.
Qu Cheng quietly handed over a tissue, and his fingertips slid across Xu Xinnianâs palm like nothing, âI donât mind if itâs impossible, Iâm just a little resentful that you would choose such a manâŠâ
Having said that he paused for a moment, turned his head and waved his hand in a gaffe, âForget it, why am I telling you this, no matter what happened in the past, you have always been a child in my heart, children should always be forgiven when they make mistakes, donât cry, okay? it is good?â
One sentence was right in the center, and it also touched Xu Xinnianâs most resentful point. He wiped his tears aggrieved and shook his head out of control, âBrother Cheng, you donât understand, those videos⊠I, I was forced⊠If itâs possible I really want to kill him, you say⊠am I bad?â
This made Qu Cheng laugh, if it wasnât for the occasion and his peacockâs instructions, he might have laughed out loud.
People with a heart of snakes and scorpions also understand how to write the word âbadâ.
He pursed his lips and cried, his eyes were hesitant, and after a long time, he seemed to have made up his mind, and asked in a deep voice, âXinnian, I donât want to say that others are not, but he, a drug addict, is not worthy of you at all. Even if you are forced, itâs time to go to the police instead of compromising with this scumbag.â
Xu Xinnian was stunned after hearing this, âWait a minute, you said Dong FengâŠdrugs?!â
âSorryâŠthis shouldnât be here. If I making irresponsible remarks in front of you, you should treat me as nonsense, the meal is going to get cold, letâs not mention this, okay?â
Qu Cheng seemed to regret his quick talk and changed the subject subconsciously, but Xu Xinnian grasped it. Holding his hand, he asked eagerly, âBrother Cheng, whatâs going on here!? You lied to me, you must know something, otherwise you wouldnât say it!â
Qu Cheng looked away stiffly, shook his head, âDonât ask these questions, letâs eat, the less you know, the better.â
Xu Xinnian finally grasped the key to turning over, how could he let go so easily, his eyes were red and he cried aggrieved, âBig brother Cheng, I beg you, can you explain clearly? I have been destroyed by him, donât I even have the chance to recognize him in the end?
â After being silent, he stared at him for a long time before sighing deeply. He took out a pad from his bag, tapped it a few times, and placed it in front of him.
There was a lot of noise in the video. After half a minute, Dong Feng appeared drunk. He hugged him from side to side. He was decadent and rotten like a pool of mud. After drinking a glass of wine, he picked up a bag of white powder from the table and poured it in. In his mouth, after a while, he began to cry and laugh again, dancing frantically, his eyes blurred, and he lost his mind at first sight.
âThis is the video recorded by surveillance when he came to Hao Ting a few days ago. The regulations of Hao Ting absolutely do not allow customers to take drugs, so the manager at that time came to me when he saw his crazy appearance, and I sent the person retrieved a little powder sprinkled on the table and tested it, and it turned out to be K powder.â
Xu Xinnian did not recover for a long time, staring at the video on the screen, his eyes narrowed dangerously, and the light flashed, ââŠI never knew he was taking this, how could it beâŠcould it be a mistake?â
âI wish I had made a mistake to save you from being implicated again, but thatâs the truth. I donât think itâs okay to pretend I didnât see it.â
Qu Cheng rubbed his forehead and took out a small paper bag for him, âThese are what he was at that time. The powder sprinkled, this is an appraisal report, if you donât believe it, you can go to someone to test it again, I donât need to frame a person who canât fight me.â
âIâve been on the road for so many years. I can tell at a glance that he has taken drugs. Dong Feng looks like an old poisonous ghost. He must always have goods around him. Maybe he has been hiding it from you, but he will always leave something behind. If you still donât believe it, I can go to his house and have a look, maybe I can find something.â
Xu Xinnianâs eyes flickered, and he clenched the paper bag in his hand.
He is not a fool, and he wonât immediately believe what others say, but after thinking about it, he canât find any reason why Qu Cheng framed Dong Feng, and this date was proposed by him himself, and Qu Cheng couldnât have it beforehand. It is expected that he would never have known that he was inviting him, so he tricked Dong Feng into the Hao Ting several days in advance, and deliberately gave him drugs, right?
After pondering for a while, he decided that this matter was definitely not groundless, and he had an idea in his heart for a while.
The bright red eyes blinked cooperatively, a tear smashed down and splashed on the table, his nervous expression changed, he held Qu Chengâs hand tremblingly and asked, âBrother Cheng, then⊠then what should I do? What to do? I didnât know he was taking drugs. If this incident broke out, wouldnât I have end to?â
The more he talked, the more sad he became, and finally he was choked up and almost breathless, âI really hate him! If I already knew he was taking drugs, I will sent him to the police station a long time ago, and I wouldnât let him hurt me like this!â
âActually, itâs not impossible to shake this matter down. After all, this matter canât be made public. Otherwise, once you and I get involved with the white powder, we will be implicated.â
Xu Xinnian had already believed in Qu Cheng at this time, he nodded vigorously, and asked in a hoarse voice, âBrother Cheng, save me, as long as there is a chance I donât want to entangle with Dong Feng anymore.â
Qu Cheng raised his eyebrows, watching Xu Xinnian impatiently putting aside his own appearance, he raised the corners of his mouth ironically in his heart.
He frowned as if it was difficult, and after a long pondering, he slowly spoke, âActually, the way to turn the salted fish over is very simple, as long as everyone believes that one of them is a heinous crime, and focus on him, then the other one will naturally be ignored, there are so many gossip news these days, who will remember your affairs in a few days?â
Xu Xinnian is not a fool, he knows everything.
At this moment, he even felt that Qu Cheng was his savior. He found a way for him when he was in such a difficult time, and paid him a lot of money, which was enough for him to turn around and make a comeback.
âYou mean to tell me about this? But it doesnât matter to me if he uses drugs. What if someone says I framed him, and what can I do to convince others that I was forced?â
Qu Cheng smiled, stretched out his hand and touched his face, âLittle fool, you are usually so smart, how come you are so stupid at a critical moment.â
âI specifically checked Dong Feng before, he once had a boyfriend in college, who happened to be the name of your dead brother⊠Xu Cinian, right? I donât believe you donât know anything about this, as long as you make good use of this, are you afraid that others wonât believe you?â
Xu Xinan was stunned After a moment, he frowned, âHowâŠhow do you know this? What are you doing to investigate Dong Feng?â
Qu Cheng shrugged, a trace of embarrassment flashed across his face, and said with a low cough, âIâm just doing it I donât understand why you look at Dong Feng, you want to see how this person is better than me, butâŠâ
Having said this, he turned his head angrily, as if he felt that it was very humiliating for someone of his status to do such a shameful thing, âEven I donât understand why I went back to investigate such a scumbag, but I watched it at your birthday party. When he treats you like that, I really want to kill him! I canât hold back for a whileâŠâ
He didnât say any more, reached out and rubbed his forehead, his face darkened, âIâm sorry, I shouldnât tell you this, If you think Iâm nosy, just pretend I didnât say anything today.â
He got up and left, but Xu Xinnian grabbed him, but was pushed away by Qu Cheng, only to see him burrowing into the car in embarrassment.
Looking at the cash and Dong Fengâs criminal evidence that Qu Cheng specially sent to him in his palm, Xu Xinnianâs heart was sweet, and his face was flushed, completely dispelling all doubts about Qu Cheng.
He knew that no man would turn him away, even if it was the boss of the Qinglong Gang, he still held him firmly in his hands?
Thinking of what Qu Cheng mentioned about Dong Feng and Xu Cinian just now, he knew that his chance to turn over the salted fish had finally come.
After the car drove far away, Qu Cheng ripped off the tie around his neck and threw it aside in disgust. After cursing a few words, he took out his mobile phone, âIâm so fucking sick, today.
[You wash me dry at night and wait in the bed! I need my daughter-in-law to disinfect my whole body TT]
[Go away]
Xu Cinian replied to him a total of one word, not even punctuation marks, and then sent another one
[The big fish is hooked?]
Qu Cheng pouted, [Isnât it, your good brother that canât wait to rush to seduce me now.]
[Tiger touch, worthy of commendation.]
[Ask for a reward TT]
Xu Cinian chuckled while holding his mobile phone.
[What do you want? ]
Seeing the reply, Qu Cheng quickly pressed his fingertips, and without hesitation, he sent out four words,
