TRMP Chapter 38

The ugly doll was placed on Xie Jingshen’s tidy desk, looking out of place.

Everyone who entered the room could immediately notice the ugly, dirty little doll.

But the assistant, who came in several times to report on work, saw Xie Jingshen pinching the doll’s legs or arms with his hands, and sometimes even holding the doll’s body and muttering, “Too skinny.”

The assistant wanted to ask someone to exorcise evil spirits.

Xie Jingshen turned a blind eye to his assistant’s increasingly worried gaze. He tentatively probed Xie De several times through Lu Sen, and Xie De finally took the bait.

However, the day he took the bait happened to be the global premiere of Jiang Yifeng’s new advertisement.

The cute little person was only wearing a beige knitted sweater, the wide sweater revealing a section of skin on his shoulders, slightly long hair hanging down on his cheeks, a white blanket wrapped around his shoulders, looking warm, cozy and extremely cute, happily singing cheerfully.

“Xie Jingshen, my first advertisement!” Jiang Yifeng’s eyes lit up: “I’ve been a star for five years, and this is the first time I’ve filmed an advertisement.”

“You haven’t filmed one before?” Xie Jingshen’s right hand pinched the little person’s palm, and his other hand held the phone, his eyes softened a lot: “The company is so irresponsible.”

“The company arranged filming for me before, but later it seemed to have been intercepted.”

Jiang Yifeng thought of the time when he first debuted, the company invested a lot of resources in him. A small company that had not been established for long had poor resources, but tried to find resources for Jiang Yifeng.

Two TV dramas, three advertisements… those were the best resources the company could find at the time, all invested in Jiang Yifeng, but all of them were replaced for inexplicable reasons, or died prematurely.

After several times, with more than a year lost in the middle, it was rumored that the company’s big boss asked someone to calculate his birth dates and feng shui, and determined that Jiang Yifeng’s birth dates were incompatible with the company’s.

So Jiang Yifeng became completely isolated.

Luo Qi initially tried hard to help Jiang Yifeng, but as time passed, Luo Qi also began to bring new artists, and Jiang Yifeng, behind the backs of everyone in the company, quietly delivered food while working as a background actor.

“I feel like our boss was going crazy at the time, thinking he had signed a good prospect, but he lost all the resources in his hand.”

When Jiang Yifeng talked about it, he still felt quite unlucky.

Fortunately, the company didn’t pay attention to him, otherwise, if he had no job and no money, Jiang Yifeng would have to secretly do midnight live broadcasts.

“It’s good to have met you.”

Jiang Yifeng smiled after saying that.

If he hadn’t met Xie Jingshen, he would still be that old unlucky egg.

Xie Jingshen’s finger swiped across the screen, his eyes lowered and smiling particularly gently.

“It’s because you are good-looking enough, and also very capable, that you won the opportunity for yourself.”

His gaze fell on Jiang Yifeng’s cheeks, which were red from the cold, and he couldn’t help but tell Jiang Yifeng to wrap the blanket tighter.

Until the blanket completely covered the skin exposed on his shoulders, and even almost covered his chin, Xie Jingshen relaxed and continued chatting with Jiang Yifeng.

Xie De arrived on time as he had imagined, barging in despite the assistant’s obstruction.

He immediately saw Xie Jingshen’s sickeningly sweet expression.

Xie De chuckled dryly, and then quickly ran to Xie Jingshen and said, “Cousin, cousin, I’m here to inform you.”

Xie Jingshen wanted to press the phone, Xie De’s eyes lit up, and he quickly said, “Cousin, it’s really not that I leaked it out, but they all know about your love affair, and I couldn’t hide it. Now Fourth Uncle and Great Uncle are coming, and Little Uncle too.”

The Xie family’s elders used to work hard for the company, and Xie Jingshen had no reason to keep them out.

But the ones who came happened to be the ones Xie Jingshen hated the most—they were old, but their hearts were still very stubborn, always thinking they could suppress him with their methods.

“Come on, I don’t need you to explain anything to me.” Xie Jingshen pressed the phone screen face down on the table with his palm, relying on the fact that Jiang Yifeng couldn’t see him, Xie Jingshen’s tone remained unchanged, but his expression was vile and mocking: “Afraid that I would think you deliberately told them the news, to test my strength?”

Xie De was silent.

Xie Jingshen ignored him.

He took the doll on the table into his palm, and then carefully put it into the inner layer of his suit.

——The doll was to make Xie De take the bait, but those old men were likely to grab it without thinking, and if they broke such a cute doll, all of them wouldn’t be able to afford one.

Thinking of the few drops of blood on the doll, Xie Jingshen frowned in distress.

Xie De watched Xie Jingshen’s cherishing movements, and felt his heart beating faster.

He guessed right!

It’s just that that person’s position was too far away, far away overseas, and to use power to control that person, he would almost have to expose and activate the hidden lines he and several branches had hidden in various companies.

Xie De had to confirm that that person was not fabricated by Xie Jingshen, and was deceiving him. Only if that person existed would it be worthwhile to make a move if he grasped Xie Jingshen’s weakness.

He needed to confirm more information.

“Xie Jingshen, what’s wrong?”

A soft voice came from the phone, exactly the same as last time.

“It’s nothing, I’m busy with work, I’ll hang up…”

“No, no, no, Sister-in-law, Sister-in-law!” Xie De immediately called out, “Several elders of our Xie family want to meet you. You’ve been dating my brother for so long, it’s time to make it official. Our Xie family’s rules don’t recognize those who aren’t official.”

Xie De said half tempting and half threatening, and there was no sound on the other side.

Xie Jingshen’s finger flipped the phone over, but before Xie De could smile, Xie Jingshen kicked him half a meter away.

“Don’t use your words to scare my person.” Xie Jingshen’s eyes narrowed slightly: “The Xie family’s rules?”

“He has to go through the official process, I’m helping you, big brother. Or are you really planning to hide him for the rest of your life?”

Xie De couldn’t even speak smoothly, but still held his breath and continued to tease Xie Jingshen.

He really saw that Xie Jingshen was truly deeply in love.

Jiang Yifeng directly faced the infighting between the Xie family members for the first time.

For a moment, he only felt that the dramas about wealthy families on TV were not all fake.

It seems that he is also a small actor with experience in wealthy family struggles!

Jiang Yifeng curiously looked at the phone screen, and was startled by the ferocity that had not yet dissipated from Xie Jingshen.

Then he became nervous—even Xie Jingshen, who was so gentle, would be angered by his family so much, how bad could the other party be.

None of Xie Jingshen’s relatives were easy to deal with.

Xie De brought out so many people at once, also because he was afraid that Xie Jingshen would refuse.

When a group of people gathered in the conference room, Jiang Yifeng saw Xie Jingshen arrogantly and contemptuously say for the first time: “First time meeting? Then Fourth Uncle has to give a meeting gift, right? I think the piece of land you bought before is not bad, it’s so small, why not give it up.”

Fourth Uncle was as thin as a skeleton, but Little Uncle was as fat as a ball.

Three or four elders sat there, but were angered by Xie Jingshen’s attitude to the point of dizziness.

Jiang Yifeng saw Xie Jingshen deliberately angering people, at first he was surprised, but later he became more and more accustomed to it.

He even specially got out of bed to make a cup of lemon honey water, while biting the straw, while watching them tear each other apart.

Jiang Yifeng’s eyes were bright, watching Xie Jingshen seriously engage in a war of words, making everyone present look embarrassed, and then lazily glanced at the phone.

Xie Jingshen’s fierce gaze paused.

“Go put on a coat, be careful of getting cold.”

——His shoulders were all exposed!

Xie Jingshen’s tone was gentle.

Completely different from just now.

Jiang Yifeng very habitually went to find a coat to put on, and Xie Jingshen then generously turned the phone screen around, letting a few people see Jiang Yifeng.

Jiang Yifeng smiled and greeted the several elders who were not very amiable, and the other party also squeezed out a smile with a struggling frown.

“Hello, uncles.”

Jiang Yifeng couldn’t recognize who was who at all, so he just called them all uncles.

But the Xie family had a lot of rules, and seniority and kinship were the things that could not be mistaken the most. The elders had been relying on their seniority for so many years, and they felt uncomfortable all over when they heard Jiang Yifeng’s address.

Xie Jingshen was also sitting next to him, and the elders didn’t dare to scold the person on the other side.

“How long have you been dating Little Xie? You two men, or not…”

“Don’t say so much nonsense.” The more shrewd Fourth Uncle immediately grabbed the person next to him, and then smiled amiably with narrowed eyes: “What kind of work are you doing now? I heard that Little Xie is always holding his phone, between lovers, it’s better to meet more often.”

Jiang Yifeng’s palm rested on his knee, and that beautiful and gentle appearance looked like a well-behaved child, the kind that was very obedient and could be manipulated.

After listening to Fourth Uncle’s words, he thought for a while, and then said with a smile: “But I’m quite busy with work, and I’m still on the rise, so I have to seize the opportunity recently.”

Fourth Uncle joked with Jiang Yifeng, for example, praising Jiang Yifeng’s work is worthless, but Jiang Yifeng only heard the praising part, thanking the other party for praising his work as important, and said that he would work hard to be a better version of himself.

“After all, Xie Jingshen is so excellent, if I don’t work hard, how can I stand with him?” Jiang Yifeng said, and looked at Xie Jingshen, who was looking unhappy next to him.

Xie Jingshen pinched the phone, and that rare unhappy expression was extremely cute in Jiang Yifeng’s eyes.

Xie Jingshen raised his eyes to look at Jiang Yifeng.

Jiang Yifeng returned a smile.

Xie Jingshen also softened his eyes.

A few minutes of conversation was enough for the other party to figure out that Jiang Yifeng was a living person who couldn’t be any more alive.

The elders didn’t gain any advantage in the conversation with Jiang Yifeng—they didn’t even know if Jiang Yifeng was deliberately pretending not to understand, or if Xie Jingshen was particularly fond of idiots.

They returned in defeat, and urged Xie Jingshen to call Jiang Yifeng back to the country to meet as soon as possible.

After leaving the door, the expressions of the few people were dull and excited, with a strange distortion.

“You go find someone to keep an eye on Jiang Yifeng’s movements, and once he returns to the country, immediately find someone to mess with him.”

“Say hello to the immigration department, and if there is his entry information, notify our people immediately.”

They lowered their voices, and the more they talked, the more excited they became.

“This time Xie Jingshen deliberately exposed his weakness, so don’t blame us for attacking him.”

Xie De was also happy and planned to go to the bar for a few drinks, and then find some fun to have a good night.

And Xie Jingshen and Jiang Yifeng, who were being thought about, laughed the moment they left the door.

“Xie Jingshen, they talk so strangely.” Jiang Yifeng wrinkled his nose: “Like some people on the internet.”

“But they don’t dare to say anything to me.” Xie Jingshen sneered: “But they want to attack my person.”

“…” Jiang Yifeng patted his face with his hand, and then said seriously: “We agreed!”

Xie Jingshen saw Jiang Yifeng’s face turning red, couldn’t help but move closer, and even his voice became more ambiguous: “What?”

“Don’t! Let him call me sister-in-law again! You go correct him!” Jiang Yifeng gesticulated wildly: “You can also call me brother…”

“But, aren’t you my…” Xie Jingshen bit the tip of his tongue, and then said: “Aren’t you my lover?”

He felt that he seemed to be consciously indulging in it.

It’s a pity that Xie Jingshen couldn’t save himself, and could only watch himself sink deeper and deeper into the vortex called Jiang Yifeng.

Does he really only like him a little?

Looking at Jiang Yifeng on the other side who was still emphasizing that he was a man, Xie Jingshen’s eyes showed a bit of shallow doubt.

The author has something to say:

President Xie: Wife doesn’t want me to call her wife, what should I do?

President Xie: Not letting me call her is still my wife.

President Xie: Beautiful wife who will give me gifts oh~
