Chapter 8: 8

Champagne were piled up beautifully in the tables and there are good-looking servers giving away a glass to the guests.

Xi Yu blankly stared at the people that keep on walking here and there, greeting this and that, faking smiles, flattering anyone they meet and trying to act noble or something just to give an impression. 

The banquet has already started. The protagonist of this banquet were naturally the center of attraction. Like Ruan Tang and Lan Ziyi for example, their friends, acquaintance and the people who wanted to get to their good side have given their best wishes. 

Xi Yu did the same as well. Perhaps due to Xi Wan and Xi Wen's presence, Ruan Tang who had the intention to make a joke out of Xi Yu did nothing apart from hugging him and giving his tearful thanks. 

At that time, Xi Yu wanted to say something but he was dragged by his brother to the corner and stuffed his hands with a cupcake. That is where he was now. 

“Ge, I don't like sweets.” Xi Yu said but he ate it anyway. 

Xi Wan mentally noted what he said while giving him a slight nod. 

“Watch over him for awhile.” Xi Wen instructed Xi Wan as he eyed Xi Yu. 

Xi Wan nodded in assent. 

With his answer, Xi Wen strode off to socialize. 

“Are you not gonna do the same?” Xi Yu curiously asked. Xi Wan was also a businessman himself and this is a good place to expand his connection. 

“I'm afraid you'll be bored if i leave you alone, the same for letting you tag along.” He answered curtly. 

Xi Wan took a sip of his red wine and pursed his lips when he noticed a woman gradually approaching him. 

“President Xi” The woman greeted with a smile. 

“Miss An” 

“I didn't expect you to be here. Did the sun rise from the West?” The woman was a 1st tier celebrity. Someone from Xi Wan's company who for some reason always likes to stick close to Xi Wan when he was around. 

Xi Wan politely listened to her words but he did not speak. An Rou wasn't surprised. She was well-aware that he was a taciturn person. Regardless of that she continued her one-man show of speaking, questioning and answering herself. 

Trying hard not to laugh at the two people in front of him, Xi Yu choked on the cupcake he was eating. 

His brother very naturally patted his back as he instructed a waiter to get some water for him. 

“You can't even eat a cupcake properly?” He was being rhetoric while taking away the last cupcake Xi Yu was holding. 

“My bad” Xi Yu readily admitted. 

The forgotten An Rou in front of them finally noticed that a young man was next to Xi Wan and was surprised. Xi Wan never let anyone get passed his 30 inches distance rule but this young man who was clearly an omega was standing closely. “President Xi, this is?” 

“My brother.” 

Hearing his answer, An Rou was relieved. No wonder, it turns out that this omega was a family member. 

“An Rou” 

Xi Wan took the initiative to speak to her making An Rou anticipate his words. She was praising the President's beauty in her heart. If she could only hold on to him then she doesn't have to worry about anything any longer. 

Those greasy old men as a golden thigh isn't comparable to the cultured man in front of her. Not to mention the wealth and the looks. 

“President Xi.” She quickly said, hiding the excitement in her heart. Did her constant approach finally been noticed? 

“We’ll go ahead first.” After bidding his goodbye, Xi Wan dragged Xi Yu out of the corner as he evade all the people who wanted to have a talk with him. 

“That woman was pretty good ba” Xi Yu commented as he recalled the face of An Rou. 

“Why are you avoiding her?” 

Xi Wan look at him and shook his head. “Kids won't understand.” 

“....” Since when did this good brother learned how to joke? 

“Old people are indeed difficult to decipher.” He clapped back. 

Xi Wan, “....”

Xi Wan lead him to an empty table and let him sit. The waiter earlier also came to hand the glass of water he requested. 

“Drink this and behave.” He ordered. 

While drinking some people came to speak to Xi Wan. Seeing that Xi Wan didn't evade them, they must be people of the same status or higher. They are talking about business. 

Xi Yu tried to listen to their conversation. He swore that he can understand the words but put together, nope. 

Xi Yu decided to stop listening in and focused on the people in front of him again. He watch them talk silently like a peeper. He exuded the aura of a handsome weirdo. 

Three tables away from him, Xi Yu noticed 4 middle age man surrounded with beauties, regardless if they are male or female. One with a beer-belly even caressed the hair of one soft-looking boy.

Disgusting. 

The boy didn't seem to averse of it either. What the heck! As the boy was smiling shyly at the man, Xi Yu thought his worldviews are about to collapse again. 

Quickly shaking his head, Xi Yu drank another sip of the water. He guessed that this boy was some celebrity hunting for a man to support him. 

Aiyaaa, why are young people nowadays pretty adamant at taking the shortcut? Is working hard no longer popular?

Xi Yu suppressed the desire to judge these group and shifted to another table. 

This time he saw a group of ladies fake smiling at each other. Too bad he can't hear them speak. It would've been hilarious. 

Xi Yu keep looking at people until Xi Wan said something about going somewhere. 

“Stay here, I'll be back.” Xi Wan seriously said. He seemed to treat Xi Yu like a kindergarten. 

“Don’t worry ge. If worst comes to worst I'll just search for a blank paper and a marker to write ‘If lost return to  Xi Wan’ in it. If done I'll put it in my back.” He joked. 

Xi Wan wasn't impressed but he nodded. “Don’t run around.” 

“Mhm, I'll walk.” 

“....” Xi Wan looked at him silently before walking away along with two guys his age. 

Xi Yu sipped on the glass of water again. He resumed his activity of people-watching while laughing occasionally. 

“You really came.” 

Noticing someone, Xi Yu looked up to see a familiar yet unfamiliar face. 

“You are?” 

The guy laughed disdainfully. “Amazing, never know people can forget about others just by obediently staying at home licking his wounds.” 

Xi Yu didn't know whether to laugh or be angry at this person. Who is this clown ba? 

“You’re mistaken.” Xi Yu said as he contemplated whether to ignore this person or not. 

The guy snorted, “How so?” 

“I was trying to attain nirvana and rid myself of earthly desires. Say, would you like to join me?” 

Seeing that the guy was speechless, Xi Yu waved him off, indicating for him to get lost. 

The guy tried to ire him again by pointing out how Ruan Tang and Lan Ziyi get along, despite his efforts he did not get the reaction he wanted from Xi Yu. Instead, he seemed to have amused him. 

“Brother, have you ever considered being a stand-up comedian? It suits you really well.” Xi Yu patted him. 

“It's good to have a free time but you know? Once you get older, you'll definitely look back and lament how you could've done something meaningful to get enough karma to reincarnate.” Now that he started speaking. Xi Yu can't help but go on. He gestured for the guy to sit down. 

The guy didn't expect him to be like this and subconsciously sat down. He regretted it later on for he was forcibly feed with a lot of inspirational message and spiritual guidance which was all Xi Yu's bullshit. 

“Do you get it? Like I said if we don't work hard now, what will happen to our future children? What will happen to us? What about our wife who is willing to suffer through thick and thin with us and willingly said the line of ‘till death do us part’? They'd definitely go hungry ba!” Xi Yu said emotionally. 

“I'm okay, i have money.” Ling Bai didn't know what to say apart from that. This was also the 4th time he said it. 

“No! We never know what will happen you know? What if your family go bankrupt? What if someone scammed you? Life is unpredictable. We have to be prepared!” 

“Xi Yu?” 

“What?” 

“Have you eaten dinner yet?” 

“Not yet but i ate cupcake earlier.” 

Guessing that this was the cause, Ling Bai took a deep breath. “Have you eaten cupcakes before?”

Xi Yu shook his head, “I don't like sweets.” 

Ling Bai expressed his understanding. “Don't eat sweets then.” 

“En” 

“That, my mom seemed to be looking for me.” After saying that he quickly fled out. He doesn't want to stay near Xi Yu to listen to his blabber about inner peace, stability and afterlife.

If he had known that Xi Yu was a lunatic, he would've never do a stupid mistake of getting near him.
