This man knows how to hype

Chapter 22 She May Not

"Whose cigarette is this? Is that little punk living with you?" Dozens of minutes later, Fu Hongxiu rushed to Lu Qinyao's house, pointing at a box of cigarettes on the coffee table and asked loudly.

"No."

"Then why are there cigarettes here! The cigarette butts are the same color as the one that the little naked guy smoked in the car last time." Fu Hongxiu said and walked straight into Lu Qinyao's bedroom.

After arriving at the bedroom, she started rummaging through the drawers without saying a word. She wanted to see if there were any of Xu Xiyu's clothes there.

At this time, Lu Qinyao stood helplessly at the door, crying in a sad tone: "Mom~~Don't be like this, Mom~~~"

"Why do you have two packs of cigarettes in your bedside table?!"

"Gifts. Sometimes we have to give gifts when we're doing publicity~~" As she spoke, Lv Qinyao's tears as big as beans began to fall.

But Fu Hongxiu ignored him. She still held up her cigarette and asked, "You have learned to lie now, haven't you?"

Hearing this, a feeling of "I'm tired, let's just leave it at that" emerged from Lu Qinyao's heart. She smiled miserably and said, "I smoked it myself. Are you satisfied?"

"You smoke?"

"Yes, I smoke."

"Okay, okay!" Upon hearing this, Fu Hongxiu felt extremely angry. After muttering a few words, she threw the cigarette in her hand to the ground.

Then he rushed over and pointed at Lu Qinyao's nose and cursed: "I said you learned bad things from that little jerk. You even learned how to smoke. What did this bastard, this beast, do to you?"

After scolding her, she was still not satisfied, so she took out her cell phone and said, "Give me his number, I want to ask him what he wants to do."

On the other side, Gong Lingyun, who had just answered the phone in the car, had a strange expression on her face. She said in disbelief, "Wu Eryan actually wants to invite you and Qin Yao to be the official guests."

"It's not that hard to understand." Xu Xiyu quickly figured out the other party's purpose.

"Then shall we go?" Gong Lingyun suddenly became excited. "Qin Yao would be very happy if she knew the news."

After all, the two of them discussed a lot of things about going on the show yesterday, and now they have finally got what they wanted.

But Xu Xiyu was not as excited as her. He shook his head and said, "It's not about whether to go or not, but whether you can go."

As soon as these words came out, Gong Lingyun seemed to be poured with a bucket of cold water, and said gloomily: "That's right, you can't be on the show."

Her understanding of Xu Xiyu's situation was not as clear as Xu Xiyu himself.

"It's not that I can't, it's Qin Yao who can't."

"Why can't she?"

Xu Xiyu did not respond when he heard this, but pointed upstairs.

Now Gong Lingyun finally realized a point that he had overlooked because of his excitement.

Yes, Fu Hongxiu won’t agree to that.

For a moment, her expression slowly turned into resentment. After being messed up by Fu Hongxiu for so many years, her life with Lu Qinyao was getting worse and worse. It was impossible for her not to feel resentful.

The car became quiet again.

I don’t know how long it took, Gong Lingyun suddenly said: “Don’t tell Qin Yao about this yet.”

Xu Xiyu nodded when he heard this but did not reply.

Six p.m.

After waiting in the car for several hours, the two stood at the door of Lu Qinyao's house again. After ringing the doorbell, she opened the door after a long time.

When they opened the door, what they saw was a haggard face. Even more haggard were her red and swollen eyes.

But what was "abnormal" was that Lu Qinyao's hair was neatly combed and her clothes were not the same as before. Obviously, she had tidied herself up between ringing the doorbell and opening the door.

What was even more "abnormal" was that her first reaction when she saw the two of them was to force a smile and pretend to be relaxed and say, "Why haven't you gone home yet?"

This reaction made Gong Lingyun feel very distressed.

It also allowed Xu Xiyu to see the unknown side of Lu Qinyao again. He thought that this might be Lu Qinyao's way of maintaining a decent appearance in front of him and Gong Lingyun.

She needed to look decent on the surface to maintain her fragile self-esteem. At this moment, Xu Xiyu remembered her previous frivolous feelings towards herself. Now that she thought about it, behind this frivolous feeling, there might be a deep lack of self-confidence.

Just like some people always pretend to be "indifferent" to some things in order to avoid being "hurt". This state of "indifference" actually reveals that they lack control over the matter.

If you can't control it, you can only not care, because there is no point in caring.

With mixed feelings, Xu Xiyu went in and closed the door.

At this moment, Gong Lingyun keenly noticed the mobile phone that Lu Qinyao placed on the coffee table. This phone was not the same one that they had just left.

Lu Qinyao has changed.

So she couldn't help asking, "Did your phone fall again?"

Lu Qinyao didn't reply when she heard that. Instead, she quickly walked over and put the phone on the coffee table into her trouser pocket. Then she said, "It's okay. I was planning to change it anyway."

In the end, she did not give Fu Hongxiu Xu Xiyu's phone number, so Fu Hongxiu smashed her phone to pieces.

"Are you hungry? Let me treat you to a meal." Xu Xiyu next to him said after thinking for a while.

He didn't ask what the quarrel between Lv Qinyao and his mother was about, nor did he ask Lv Qinyao to "announce the breakup online" or something like that.

You could say this before.

not now.

Because this would make Lu Qinyao's insistence just now seem ridiculous.

Although Xu Xiyu is not as good at picking up girls and making women happy as the original owner, it does not mean that his emotional intelligence is low. On the contrary, when it comes to serious matters, his emotional intelligence and EQ are much higher than the original owner.

"You poor bastard, why don't you treat us to a meal? Let me do it." Gong Lingyun deliberately said sarcastically when he heard Xu Xiyu said he wanted to treat him to a meal.

"Let me treat you. I'm the richest here." Lu Qinyao continued. Obviously, she didn't want to mention what had just happened, so she quickly changed the subject.

"Since a rich woman is treating us, I have to order some delicious dishes." Xu Xiyu understood her feelings, so he cooperated.

"How about a hard dish, a pig's trotter?" Lu Qinyao remembered the last time Xu Xiyu grabbed her feet in the car.
"Xi Yu, do you like eating pig's trotters?" Gong Lingyun was a little curious.

"He likes feet anyway."

"..."Xu Xiyu, I prefer waist, hips and legs.

"Oh, your hobby is quite unique. Do you like stockings? There are quite a few in Qinyao's room." Gong Lingyun reacted immediately and joked.

"Yeah, how about I wear it and show it to you?" Lu Qinyao joked.

Seeing that she was starting to be "frivolous" again, Xu Xiyu rolled his eyes and deliberately said, "Okay."

"You're just wishful thinking!" Lu Qinyao rolled her eyes.

"You're such a good talker!"

"You have a dirty mind!"

"You're just talking and not doing anything!"

"Pfft~~Hahahaha..." Gong Lingyun couldn't help laughing out loud when he saw the two people bickering until they ended up rhyming.

She laughed and complained: "If you two were on the show like this, it would be quite effective..."

Having said this, she paused because she realized that she had said the wrong thing.

She didn't want to talk to Lu Qinyao about being on the show right now, after all, Lu Qinyao had just had a fight with her mother.

In fact, just now in the car, she had even told Xu Xiyu not to tell anyone.

Unexpectedly, Xu Xiyu really listened and didn't say anything, and I leaked it first.

"On a show? What show?" Lu Qinyao asked puzzledly.

Gong Lingyun did not reply, but turned to look at Xu Xiyu with a look of help in her eyes. She felt that Xu Xiyu could handle it more skillfully than herself.
