The man held Xiang Chenjin and slowly walked towards Wei Changxiu with a glass of wine. Before he reached within two meters of Wei Changxiu, the man called out with a high voice, “Mr. Wei! It’s really good to see you. I didn’t expect you to be so young.”
Hearing this completely abrupt voice, all those around Wei Changxiu with warm expressions stopped their laughter and turned their heads in slight surprise. Only after seeing the person who came did a trace of displeasure flash in their eyes.
So it was Boss Huang! This person suddenly made a fortune and has a lot of money, but his taste is unflattering.
These people are not averse to the so-called profiteers. After all, anyone who has the ability to make a fortune must have redeeming qualities. Starting with nothing, they must have more hard work than those who come with a golden spoon.
But this is not the case with Boss Huang. This person speaks of making money with peace, but his character is incredibly arrogant, takes vulgarity as an advantage, and acts with a lack of moral righteousness. So at first glance, this person relies on his own financial strength to meet people around, but in fact, there are not many who really has a friendship with him.
In fact, it is because of this situation of Boss Huang that Xiang Chenjin was able to find him. Anyone else in the capital who knows something about the dirty affairs of the Xiang family back then would not have anything to do with Xiang Chenjin.
In the beginning, Wei Changxiu announced his relationship with Xiang Chenyu in a high profile. In recent years, Wei Changxiu rarely appeared in public but often accompanied Xiang Chenyu, running from north to south to attend his concerts.
A discerning eye will know that the eccentric power holder of the Wei family might have really set his heart on Xiang Chenyu this time. Because in all fairness, people of their status, if they do not really love them, how will they do this?
However, Boss Huang, who has just stepped into this circle, obviously does not have such an understanding and also scoffed at others’ reminders. In his opinion, Xiang Chenyu for Wei Changxiu is like Xiang Chenjin for him, just a toy that can be shown and played with in private.
At this moment, looking at the brightly smiling Boss Huang and the young man he held in his arms, the already sparse crowd around Boss Huang quietly moved a little further away from him.
Boss Huang may have been used to it. In other family banquets, he has always looked like this. Still, the hosts of those banquets were either embarrassed or had dealings with Boss Huang, so they ignored his behavior.
However, Wei Changxiu is different. All the guests present can be said to have some understanding of the Wei family’s affairs. They know that Wei Changxiu has a strange personality, sometimes cold and sometimes irritable. There are even rumors that this person seems to have some kind of mental illness. Though Wei Changxiu’s temper has now improved a lot, he has always shown no mercy when he gets angry.
As the person in charge of the Wei family, Wei Changxiu does not need to show mercy to others.
Wei Changxiu also heard Boss Huang’s shout, and he subconsciously furrowed his eyebrows. His dark gray eyes glanced over at Boss Huang, who was coming this way, and found that he did not know this person, so he turned his head and looked at Wei Ming beside him inquiringly.
Wei Ming immediately bent over Wei Changxiu’s ears to report about Boss Huang’s life. His voice was not lowered, apparently not hiding the fact that his boss did not know this person. Moreover, if Boss Huang was closer, he would be surprised how the person beside Wei Changxiu knew his life in such detail.
Seeing this, the surrounding guests did not show any difference in color. They were not surprised that Wei Changxiu did not know Boss Huang because although Boss Huang is rich, he is still a long way from the Wei family. Wei Changxiu naturally had no reason to keep Boss Huang’s name firmly in his mind.
Wei Changxiu listened to Wei Ming’s explanation of Boss Huang’s identity, but a trace of impatience flashed in his dark gray eyes. His gaze could not be restrained from flickering up the spiral staircase. Still, his good upbringing stopped him from behaving in such a rude manner, even though anxiety had gradually risen in his heart.
Wei Changxiu and Qing Yun have been close to half a month without intimate contact. His Little Feather is very busy now. He just traveled abroad for a concert, and according to the schedule, he should have returned by plane yesterday, so Wei Changxiu set the time for the banquet to today.
But it happened that Qing Yun’s flight was delayed when he was about to return. It was only until two hours before the banquet started this morning that Qing Yun was able to return to the Wei residence. This simply made a certain man who had been waiting for half a month explode. As soon as he met Qing Yun this morning, Qing Yun’s intact shirt fell apart because of some unspeakable reason.
This time, Qing Yun should still be upstairs changing clothes, which is why he did not come downstairs with Wei Changxiu.
Wei Changxiu listened to Wei Ming’s explanation and nodded gently towards Boss Huang. However, he then looked at the features of the youth beside Boss Huang who had been keeping his head down. His eyes immediately turned sharp, and his voice became low: “Boss Huang, the person beside you ……”
Hearing Wei Changxiu’s question, Xiang Chenjin’s body involuntarily trembled. Previously, he only wanted to take advantage of this banquet to see Xiang Chenyu but did not think about how to deal with the situation when recognized by the crowd.
Nowadays, Xiang Chenjin is nothing. He even has various curses on his back, which is simply different from Xiang Chenjin’s previous situation.
The rest of the guests also vaguely recognized Xiang Chenjin’s identity. After a moment of restlessness, the crowd immediately quieted down.
Wei Changxiu’s eyes that were locked on Xiang Chenjin gradually became condensed. He did not expect this person to have the face to come to his party. Who gave him the guts to come see Little Feather?
“What’s wrong? It’s so quiet?” At this time, a clear and crisp voice broke the silence of the scene. The young man wearing a white suit slowly walked down, holding the handrail of the spiral staircase.
He was tall and slim, but he carried an indescribable nobility in his movements. His speech and demeanor showed a sense of beauty brought about by artistic influence.
In short, this young man attracted people’s attention as soon as he appeared, but also made the slightly cold atmosphere active once again.
Xiang Chenjin looked at the youth with a look of disbelief. The previously silent and gloomy young man had faded away all the shadows on his body. He became brighter than ever, which made Xiang Chenjin almost unable to recognize the identity of the young man.
But he ultimately recognized that this was the teenager who was adopted by their family since childhood and was both chastised by his adoptive mother and abused by his adoptive father, Xiang Chenyu.
When he thought of all the past, Xiang Chenjin was like waking up from a dream and snapped his eyes back, while also lowering his head. He wondered in his mind, at this moment, on this occasion, how would Xiang Chenyu, who had been bullied by him since childhood, treat him?
Reveal his identity, reveal the mistakes he made back then, and the foolishness of his father’s actions as a topic to be discussed again? And then watch him flee like a rat living in the gutter amidst the ridicule of the crowd?
Xiang Chenjin could not help but clench his fists. At the same time, his face also showed an expression of humiliation. Even the obsession engraved in his mind began to stir.
But to Xiang Chenjin’s surprise, he felt the youth’s gaze linger on him for just a moment, then left as if nothing had happened. He did not direct the topic to him but instead sat down with ease on the armrest of the single sofa where Wei Changxiu was.
“Why are you only coming down now?” The initially cold and aloof man softened his tone of voice and asked the youth beside him, and even a little laughter spilled out of his throat.
Qing Yun gently leaned on the sofa’s backrest. Hearing this, he lowered his eyes and fiercely glanced at the man who was sticking to him.
Asking him why he’s only coming down now. Who exactly caused the trouble?
As he turned his head, the collar of his shirt, which had fit perfectly around his neck, opened slightly, and a red tooth mark faintly flashed out.
Seeing this, Wei Changxiu could not help but smile more pleasantly. Obviously, the previous anxiety in his heart had been swept away. He was just about to stand up to give the main seat of the banquet host to Qing Yun when the always insensitive Boss Huang continued the previous discussion with a big grin: “Mr. Wei asked me who I was bringing around? Naturally, like you, I also found someone who can play the violin to bring along.”
As soon as Boss Huang’s words fell, Wei Changxiu’s face, which had just eased down, became cold and hard again.
The surrounding atmosphere once again became extremely awkward. Some people even lost their cool to the point of spilling their glasses of wine when they heard Boss Huang’s words.
What does that mean? Is this Boss Huang out of his mind to compare what he brought along with him to Mr. Xiang Chenyu? Don’t you know that today Wei Changxiu held this banquet just to announce the marriage between them?
Qing Yun raised an eyebrow at his words and glanced at Boss Huang in surprise, obviously not expecting that there was anyone who dared to say such a thing now.
“What did you say?” Wei Changxiu’s dark gray eyes had become extremely cold as he turned his head and looked at Boss Huang, who was smiling indecently and vulgarly.
Boss Huang, however, seemed to be unaware of it. He even became smug because the host of the banquet had finally placed his eyes on him. He picked up the chin of the cowering Xiang Chenjin and lifted his face as if he was showing off some toy: “Look, not bad looking, right? He also plays the violin well. At least, it doesn’t sound much different from Xiang Chenyu to me.”
Having said that, even if Boss Huang is slow, he could see that Wei Changxiu’s face was not right.
In fact, it was not only Wei Changxiu’s face that was not right. If someone looked carefully, the veins on the man’s hands were bulging up, like winding worms, which were extremely horrible.
Feeling that he boasted too much, for the sake of his business, Boss Huang immediately began to compliment Wei Changxiu: “Of course, I don’t play as well as Mr. Wei. You pulled the number one violinist in the music industry into your own home and closed the door to enjoy.”
Boss Huang’s face showed a smile that men would understand, thinking that his words had given Wei Changxiu enough face and satisfied a man’s vanity. However, he forgot that he had reduced another more important person to something as low as dirt in his words.
He also turned his head towards the people around him and said, “Mr. Wei can’t just enjoy it by himself. Why don’t you take advantage of this time when the group is gathered together to bring out your precious treasure and play a song at the banquet, so that everyone can follow the fun?”
This statement simply placed Xiang Chenyu in the position of a plaything, as if he could be pulled out casually for people to enjoy. When people around heard this, their foreheads were drenched in cold sweat, while Boss Huang looked like he had told a funny joke and laughed out loud.
However, in the next second, Boss Huang was kicked away like a round ball. He fell with a dumbfounded face, obviously not anticipating that the man in charge of the Wei family, who was dressed in a suit, talked and dressed in a way that showed excellent upbringing, and held himself in a position of authority, had kicked him away without mercy.
“What did you say? Tell that to me again!” The man walked up with ragged breathing, and his voice was low and frightening. He directly pinched Boss Huang’s fat neck and lifted him up. The expensive suit could no longer conceal the bulging muscle lines on the man’s arms.
“Who gave you the nerve to insult my baby like that?”
Boss Huang was almost crushed to death by Wei Changxiu. His eyes were wide open, and it was unknown whether it was because of fear or surprise, but by this time, Boss Huang, whose throat was locked, could not say anything.
Now, his mind is muddled. Baby? What baby? Isn’t Xiang Chenyu just a fancy thing that can play the violin?
The guests around were surprised to witness Wei Changxiu’s anger. Sensing the commotion of the group in the center, Wei Qi and Wei Ming, who were hiding in the corner to eat, could not help but glance over there.
As early as when Qing Yun came down from upstairs, they had already left Wei Changxiu’s side. Because Wei Changxiu’s condition has been improving in recent years, especially when Qing Yun is present, he can always control his emotions well, so Wei Qi and Wei Ming could leave with confidence.
At this moment, Wei Ming stood up suspiciously and said to Wei Qi, “Is there something wrong with the boss’ side?”
“With Mr. Xiang around, what can go wrong?” Wei Qi was still eating without a thought.
Wei Ming observed the movement over there and heard a faint sound coming from the crowd at the same time. He immediately put down the plate in his hand and ran in that direction, “You’re wrong. With Mr. Xiang around, the boss will become more dangerous.” Of course, it was towards the others.
When Wei Qi and Wei Ming pushed through the crowd and ran over, the furious Wei Changxiu had already been pulled by Qing Yun. However, the man was obviously still in a rage as he glared at Boss Huang on the ground and roared, “He’s my lover! He’s going to marry me on the first of next month! Who are you to insult him?”
Boss Huang was already spread out on the ground in a cold sweat, obviously frightened by Wei Changxiu.
The dazzling young man in the crowd, on the other hand, gently caressed the man’s back and whispered soothingly, “Okay, dear, calm down.”
In any case, no matter what way it was done, the wedding date of the two was announced, and it was even more deeply rooted in the people’s minds.
After calming the man down and sending him to his room, using the right words to dismiss the incident at the banquet, and arranging everything, Qing Yun then went upstairs to continue to accompany Wei Changxiu.
He was walking in the corridor when he suddenly stopped and turned his head in a particular direction and said, “Come out, don’t hide.”
After a while, Xiang Chenjin slowly moved out from a corner.
Looking at Xiang Chenjin, who now looked exceptionally wretched, Qing Yun sighed and couldn’t help but ask strangely, “Why have you come here and kept following me?”
“I……” Xiang Chenjin was stunned by his question but could not say the reason at all. Yes, he was released from prison. He was still young and could have avoided Xiang Chenyu and started a new life for himself, so why was he obsessed with following Xiang Chenyu around? For this reason, he even almost sold his own body.
“Go away. All things have passed, and there is no need for you to somehow hate me anymore.” Qing Yun looked at Xiang Chenjin and said.
Hate? Yes, why would he hate Xiang Chenyu? Xiang Chenjin felt a sharp pain in his head as if something had drilled out of his body.
Just at that moment, Qing Yun’s gaze was fixed. His massive soul directly probed a part of it and curled over the invisible thing that had drilled out from Xiang Chenjin’s body.
In a flash, a strange fluctuation came from the air. A black filament appeared out of thin air and then screamed and fled out of this world.
Qing Yun’s eyes narrowed slightly but did not chase after it. He stretched out his palm, and a crystal clear nucleus remained in his palm. This nucleus seemed to be composed of some pure energy and was immediately about to be absorbed by Qing Yun’s soul.
However, Qing Yun slowly closed his palm and did not absorb this energy. He thought of the man with the damaged soul. Even though he had opened countless concerts in the past few years with the man’s fame and gotten a lot of faith power for the man, it did not heal the harm in the man’s soul.
Perhaps, this nucleus in his hand can be beneficial to the man’s injury.
Thinking like this, Qing Yun quickly walked towards Wei Changxiu’s room.
And Xiang Chenjin, who was standing at the side, seemed to have let go of all the obsessions in his heart at this time. His eyes gradually became clear, and he no longer followed Qing Yun closely, but left the banquet.
He is going to start a new life. Although he did make mistakes, this does not deprive him of the right to live, right?
This energy could hardly be restrained from drilling into Qing Yun’s soul. He flew to Wei Changxiu’s side, and without saying a word, he opened his palm and said to the man, “Quickly, absorb it.”
Qing Yun did not know where the man came from and did not ask at this moment, because when he had chosen this man, he had decided to trust him.
Regardless of whether this man is an enemy or a friend, in the end, there can only be one outcome, and that is to stand by his side forever.
When Wei Changxiu saw the crystal clear nucleus in Qing Yun’s hand, his whole body was stunned for a moment, and a glint flashed in his eyes. Then, a man’s deep, low laughter came from inside the room. This laughter was not Wei Changxiu’s voice, but it was equally familiar and warm to Qing Yun.
Qing Yun was surprised to see a man’s shadow emerge from Wei Changxiu’s body. This shadow was covered with flame-burned scars, but the man himself seemed unconcerned.
He smiled and approached Qing Yun, finally touching his treasure with his own soul.
“You finally got it.” The man’s sighing voice sounded in Qing Yun’s ears.
Qing Yun could not see the man’s blurred face at all. He wanted to ask the man properly about his origins, but the nucleus in his hand was constantly being unstoppably absorbed by his own soul, so Qing Yun could only urge, “Hurry up, absorb it, and talk about the rest later.”
“No, baby. It belongs to you.” The man gently closed Qing Yun’s palm. He hugged Qing Yun fondly and rubbed against him as usual, “You don’t know how much I really want to be with you.”
The man’s voice even trembled a little. He reverently kissed Qing Yun’s cheek, as if each touch carries a longing that crosses time and space.
But the man’s already unreal body is slowly becoming more transparent.
Qing Yun obviously noticed this. He also directly separated himself from his body. He anxiously squeezed the man’s neck and said in a stern voice: “What are you doing? Your injury is already serious to this extent. Do you want to disappear?”
The man directly embraced Qing Yun’s soul, which obviously made him more excited. He reached out and pushed the nucleus held in Qing Yun’s palm into Qing Yun’s soul, while he himself laughed lowly and told his love: “Baby, you have to know that I love you, forever. So, please believe me……”
Not waiting for the man’s words to finish, as the core completely integrated into Qing Yun’s soul, the man’s illusory body “bang” exploded into stars of crystal light. Then, there was a little more energy, as the man also disappeared into Qing Yun’s soul.
