278: Chapter 278 Probe the Wind 278: Chapter 278 Probe the Wind An Man and Zhu Ying were sent here by their families to accompany Li Qianqian, and now that she hasn’t ntioned leaving, it wouldn’t be right for them to leave either.
Bai Yun noticed their awkwardness, handed the microphone to An Man, and said to her, “An Man, you’ve always been the arts committee mber; why don’t you show us a bit of your talent today?”
An Man saw that she was trying to break the awkward atmosphere, so she graciously took the microphone, chose a song, and smiled, saying, “Then I’ll give it a try!
Don’t laugh if I sing badly!”
Wu Kai and Wen Rui’s sudden departure made the atmosphere in the room a bit awkward.
An Man and Zhu Ying were not very familiar with Li Qianqian, and now that she was constantly clinging to Wu Xiaoyu, the two of them felt even more unnecessary.
Despite Bai Yun’s invitation, An Man chose a song and sang enthusiastically, but the room still felt sowhat dull.
Even Zhu Ying wasn’t listening to her singing seriously and wasn’t trying to liven up the situation; instead, she was watching Wu Xiaoyu and Li Qianqian.
In Zhu Ying’s view, Wu Xiaoyu was incredibly ordinary, but he not only won Li Qianqian’s favor but also made Niu Zhigang risk offending Wu Kai to follow his orders.
Why is this happening?
Could it be that this small Jiacheng County also has its hidden talents?
Bai Yun’s background is already quite prominent in Jiacheng County, yet she has so affection for Wu Xiaoyu.
Now, in Jiacheng County, whether they’re powerful or wealthy, they all seem so close to Wu Xiaoyu.
How could this be coincidental?
After hesitating for a long ti, Zhu Ying forced a smile and strolled over to Niu Zhigang, sat down next to him, and asked in a low voice, “Niu Zhigang, are you very familiar with Wu Xiaoyu?”
Niu Zhigang glanced at Wu Xiaoyu, who was chatting happily with others and paying no attention to his presence at all, sighed, and said, “Sowhat…
sowhat familiar.
Why?”
Zhu Ying pretended to ask casually, “Nothing, I simply noticed you seem to respect him quite a bit and was just curious.”
Respect?
Upon hearing this word, Niu Zhigang felt a blockage in his heart; he was in his thirties and the son of a vice minister, yet before Wu Xiaoyu, he dared not show the slightest disrespect, because Wu Xiaoyu possessed mysterious skills that if offended, could an life-threatening danger!
Although he barely counted as powerful, his little power was insignificant compared to those mysterious skills.
Zhu Ying noticed he didn’t respond, so she continued, “Do you know what his father does?
He seems to be quite close to Bai Yun.”
Niu Zhigang appeared careless and unkempt, like a straightforward guy, but he wasn’t really foolish.
Seeing Zhu Ying sit beside him and keep asking about Wu Xiaoyu, he knew she was trying to get information from him.
But he knew very little about Wu Xiaoyu, only knowing he had opened a restaurant in Longhe Town and seed to have so grudges with Wang Baishan.
Yet Zhu Ying clearly wouldn’t be interested in these details; she probably wanted to know about Wu Xiaoyu’s family background.
“Zhu Ying, I advise you to stop investigating Wu Xiaoyu.
As long as you don’t provoke him, he won’t trouble you!” Niu Zhigang advised out of goodwill.
Zhu Ying paused for a mont, then couldn’t help but ask again, “Why?
Why should I stop investigating his affairs?
Do you know sothing?”
The incident at Jiji was sothing Niu Zhigang absolutely dared not ntion to others.
Seeing Zhu Ying pressing him, Niu Zhigang picked up the beer in front of him and began to drink heavily.
Zhou Dong, sitting on the other side of Niu Zhigang, noticed their conversation, chuckled to himself, turned around and teased Zhu Ying:
“Miss Zhu, if you want to know sothing, just ask !
I was Wu Xiaoyu’s high school classmate; I know everything about him!”
Zhu Ying’s face blushed imdiately upon hearing him talk about this, and she couldn’t help but curse in her heart: “These vulgar guys only know how to talk dirty, truly shaless!”
Wu Xiaoyu, who was being entangled by Li Qianqian, heard Zhou Dong’s words and imdiately turned around, scolding, “Zhou Dong, have you really counted?
Report to Miss Zhu!”
Hearing this, Zhu Ying raised her eyebrows, glared at Wu Xiaoyu angrily, stood up, and moved back to An Man.
An Man moved a bit closer to Zhu Ying and asked in a low voice, “How’s it going?
Did you find out anything?
What’s Wu Xiaoyu’s background?”
“Background?
He’s just a vulgar guy!” Zhu Ying replied, slightly angry.
Sitting in the middle, Bai Yun saw herself beco the dividing line between the Chu River and Han Border, with Li Qianqian on one side chatting with Wu Xiaoyu and others, and Zhu Ying and An Man whispering on the other side.
Both groups had already abandoned singing, and staying longer in the KTV would only increase the awkwardness.
“Why don’t we go back?” Bai Yun stood up, though suggesting, she seed very firm.
Li Qianqian continued clinging to Wu Xiaoyu, talking about this and that, without expressing an opinion, so Wu Xiaoyu had to pacify her, saying, “It’s getting late.
Let’s head back.”
Wu Xiaoyu’s words were clearly more effective than Bai Yun’s.
Hearing this, Li Qianqian tidied up her clothes, flicked her hair, stood up, and said seriously, “Then let’s go back!”
Sitting on the other side, Zhu Ying and An Man, though sowhat displeased, quickly echoed as Li Qianqian decided to leave.
The group stood up and left the private room, led personally by Niu Zhigang to the underground parking lot.
After everyone got into their cars, Niu Zhigang waved to Wu Xiaoyu with extre flattery and felt relieved as he saw the three cars leave.
Driving out of the parking lot, An Man quickly called Zhu Ying, complaining, “What’s Wu Xiaoyu’s background?
Why is Niu Zhigang acting like a bootlicker?”
Zhu Ying responded with a bitter smile, “Who knows?
Let’s ask around when we get back to the city!
But Wu Kai and his partner are probably already on it, right?”
Niu Zhigang’s fawning behavior towards Wu Xiaoyu was seen by Zhu Ying and An Man as bootlicking, but weren’t they doing the sa before Li Qianqian?
The three cars returned to Bai Yun’s house one after another, parked in the garage, and were led into the villa by the butler.
As soon as they entered the house, they encountered Bai Kainan with a broad smile on his face.
Before anyone could speak, Bai Kainan cheerfully asked Li Qianqian, “Qianqian, how is it?
Did you have fun in Jiacheng County?”
Li Qianqian pouted, pretending to be dissatisfied and said, “Grandpa Bai, I haven’t been anywhere, how would I know if Jiacheng County is fun?
Why don’t I stay at your place a bit longer?”
“Sure!
Stay as long as you want; I certainly won’t have the heart to send you away!” Bai Kainan said with a smile.
While the elder and the youngster were chatting, Wu Xiaoyu suddenly interjected with a playful tone, “If you let her stay a bit longer, your house might collapse!”
“You brat, if you’re capable, don’t stay here tonight!” Bai Kainan laughed.
An Man and Zhu Ying were even more astonished, seeing Wu Xiaoyu and Bai Kainan so intimate.
Could Wu Xiaoyu’s background be far from simple?
They had insulted him multiple tis today; wouldn’t he retaliate?
After chatting for a while, Bai Kainan asked the butler to arrange their accommodations.
Wu Xiaoyu stayed in the sa guest room as last ti.
Zhou Dong wanted to share a room with him but was decisively rejected, as Wu Xiaoyu liked sleeping naked.
With two big n, what if things got awkward?
At night, the moon was bright and the stars sparse, the lights in the villa were already turned off, but the moonlight still provided so brightness.
