ASSHKHME Chapter 76

Chapter 76: Attitude

Everything Xie Yu had said before was from the bottom of his heart.

It was true that he didn’t want to be a stumbling block for Chen Zhuo, and it was also true that he supported him in pursuing his dreams.

But, in his heart, he still harbored the narrow and dark little thought that Chen Zhuo would stay in Jiangbei for him.

That’s just human nature, right?

Besides, it was just an architectural firm or studio, wasn’t it? He could open a hundred for Chen Zhuo!

Among those famous designers, while there was no shortage of genuine talent, there was also the indispensable operation of capital.

And Chen Zhuo had genuine talent, and he just happened to be capital. Wasn’t this the unparalleled pair of contemporary prodigies, a match made in heaven!

Of course, Xie Yu wouldn’t dare tell Chen Zhuo these little calculations. He still had to maintain his image as an enlightened and magnanimous boyfriend.

Chen Zhuo held Xie Yu’s hand back and patted it, “I suddenly realized, your family is really too rich, I have to work hard.”

Xie Yu asked in confusion, “Why? You want to support me? I’m not even asking you for a bride price, and I come with my own car and house.”

Chen Zhuo was amused by him, “Stop clowning around, I’m talking to you seriously. I have to work hard to stand shoulder to shoulder with you. What if we get exposed one day? If I’m just an ordinary nobody, wouldn’t people say I’m not good enough for you?”

Xie Yu chuckled, “So? You’re going to become a gilded nobody who’s studied abroad?”

Chen Zhuo was speechless, “Why are you so annoying? Don’t discourage me, okay? There’s only so little opportunity for ordinary people like us to change our fate. Aren’t you supposed to be supporting me?”

Xie Yu buried his face in the hollow of his shoulder and acted like a spoiled brat, “But that’s a whole year, in a country full of blondes. How can I feel at ease?”

Chen Zhuo ruffled the back of his head, comforting him, “Don’t worry, I don’t like Western faces.”

Xie Yu laughed in anger, pinching his waist, “Damn it, shouldn’t you be saying that you only have me in your heart and eyes?”

Chen Zhuo’s stomach very appropriately growled “Goo-goo-goo”, “Okay, I only have you in my heart and eyes, but I’m so hungry right now, the food you made was terrible.”

Xie Yu smiled, “My fault, my fault. I’ll have someone bring food over right away. How about I make you a packet of instant noodles to tide you over?”

Chen Zhuo sighed, “Men fear joining the wrong profession, and also fear marrying the wrong person. After being tricked by you for so long, all I get is two packets of instant noodles.”

Xie Yu pinched his cheeks, lowered his head, and kissed him, stopping his increasingly wild remarks.

Chen Zhuo narrowed his eyes and smiled.

Although there were visible difficulties ahead, if Xie Yu was by his side, he was willing to give it a shot.

A person with nothing cannot nurture fearless love, but he already had a lover by his side who made him feel fearless.

At night, Jiangbei’s neon lights flickered, and there was still unmelted snow on both sides of the road. The trees next to it had already been hung with various red lanterns, preparing to welcome the New Year.

Xie Yu slammed on the brakes and parked the McLaren steadily in front of a high-end clubhouse. Immediately, uniformed staff rushed over.

He exhaled a puff of cold white air and tossed the car keys to the valet, walking straight into the lobby and giving the hostess the room number.

Inside the nearly two-hundred-square-meter suite, it was dimly lit and lively. The table was full of foreign wines worth tens of thousands on average.

The smell of tobacco swirled with alcohol, a scene of decadent extravagance.

Several young masters each had a beautiful girl in their arms, who looked like celebrities or models in terms of appearance and temperament.

One side was after money and resources, and the other was after looks and status. Each got what they wanted, and it was quite harmonious.

These second-generation rich kids were also quite bored. Holding money in their hands, it was as if they would feel itchy all over if they didn’t squander it. As long as it wasn’t illegal or criminal, their families would turn a blind eye and let them go.

The only thing that made Xie Yu feel gratified was that Ling Qi had not been polluted by this extravagant environment and had always been honest in his relationships.

As soon as Xie Yu entered the door, he became the focus, “Hey, Brother Yu is here! We can’t usually get you out, long time no see!”

Xie Yu “hmmed” and smiled, “Busy.”

Ling Qi, who was monopolizing the microphone and singing, complained when he saw him come in, “Xie Yu, why are you only coming now? Are you valuing women over friends?”

Someone echoed, “Hey, the iron tree is blooming, our young master Xie has finally found a girlfriend. After guarding himself like a virgin for so many years, what kind of girl is it? Why don’t you bring her over and let the brothers take a look?”

Ling Qi was afraid that he would come out of the closet in public, and in case he caused any trouble, he quickly said, “I’ve seen her, she’s a very beautiful girl, pure and flawless. She doesn’t like these kinds of occasions. Xie Yu, come over and sit down quickly, we’ve been waiting for you.”

Xie Yu frowned slightly when he heard the word “girl”, even though he knew that Ling Qi was doing it for his own good, he couldn’t help but feel unhappy.

He took a long stride and sat down on the sofa next to him, pouring a full glass of wine and handing it to Ling Qi, his meaning self-evident.

Xie Yu knew in his heart that Ling Qi only thought he was playing around like a young man.

Only by making his attitude clear would his friends respect his lover and respect the relationship between him and Chen Zhuo.

Ling Qi was stunned for a moment, “He’s not even here? I’m really convinced, okay, okay, I said the wrong thing, I’m sorry, sister-in-law, I’ll drink.”

Only after he finished drinking did Xie Yu show a bit of a smile on his face, “There was a bit of a traffic jam on the road, I was late, I’ll punish myself with three glasses.”

It wasn’t a traffic jam at all, it was just that he had accompanied Chen Zhuo for dinner and stuck around for a while before rushing over.

Xie Yu didn’t want to deal with these idiotic second-generation rich kids.

But just like Ling Qi said, what mattered wasn’t these idiots, but the families behind these idiots. You never knew when you might need them, so the relationship still had to be maintained.

The atmosphere became lively again.

Although Xie Yu had a volatile temper, as long as you didn’t touch his sore spot, he was a pretty good guy who could joke around.

Immediately, someone came over with wine, wanting to force him to drink, “How can three glasses be enough! It’s been so long since we’ve gathered, and you were late. Brother Yu has to drink at least six glasses, right?”

Xie Yu laughed and cursed, “Damn it, you poured it so full, are you trying to drown me? My boyfriend is waiting for me at home, don’t screw me over.”

Someone laughed and said, “Hey, I can’t believe it, Brother Yu is a henpecked husband? Why don’t you bring her over and let us meet her?”

Xie Yu chuckled, “My boyfriend is innocent, he doesn’t like these kinds of occasions.”

A harmonious atmosphere was suddenly interrupted by a strange, sarcastic tone: “The purer they seem on the surface, the more slutty they are behind the scenes.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the room fell into an eerie silence.

Although everyone present had a place in Jiangbei, they were also ranked. The Xie family was powerful. Usually, making jokes was nothing, but besides Ling Qi, no one dared to offend Xie Yu.

Xie Yu’s face immediately changed.
