Chapter 118 I Should Be Under the Car

After making sure Zhou Xiaoruo was settled, Zhao Yanan considered for a moment and decided to call Chu Yuxuan: "Are you at home?"

Her friend had made a scene last night, so she felt it was necessary to offer a proper apology.

However, Chu Yuxuan replied, "I'm by the Jade Lake... Miss me?"

Zhao Yanan didn't answer directly and instead asked, "Is that person at your place a friend of yours?"

"Yeah," Chu Yuxuan said. "Why?"

Zhao Yanan took a deep breath and said, "Xiaoruo drank too much tonight and may have offended him. Could you explain it to him?"

Chu Yuxuan couldn't imagine how that crazy girl had managed to offend his cold-blooded brother.

But he didn't dwell on it, responding, "It's fine. I'll give him a call later. He's in a good mood."

"Okay."

Chu Yuxuan asked, "Anything else you need to tell me?"

Zhao Yanan hesitated and said, "Um… Did Ye Tianyi cause you any trouble?"

"No, Chu Zhiqing is back, and he will handle it."

"Oh. Anyway, be careful, and don't let your guard down." Zhao Yanan paused and added, "It's best to take that big guy with you wherever you go."

Chu Yuxuan smiled brightly, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

The next morning, Zhao Yanan woke up on time. As she left her bedroom, she saw Zhou Xiaoruo sitting blankly in the living room, looking disheveled.

"Why are you up so early? You don't have work today."

Zhou Xiaoruo, with a pained expression, said, "Nannan, I'm begging you, please don't remind me of my drunk behavior last night. Please don't!"

Drunk people dread having their actions recalled the next day.

What's worse, this scatterbrained psychologist didn't even black out…

Recalling her wild antics in the elevator last night, especially begging for someone's WeChat while vomiting and crying, she felt utterly embarrassed.

Zhao Yanan couldn't help but laugh. "Don't worry too much. The person you encountered last night was a friend of Chu Yuxuan. I've already apologized to him."

Zhou Xiaoruo's eyes widened, "I remember, his friend seemed to be Korean. He wouldn't be an important guest, would he? And I took off his pants and vomited on him… Your dog-man wouldn't kill me, would he?"

"Now you're scared? I advised you not to get drunk last night, but you wouldn't listen." Zhao Yanan walked towards the bathroom, adding, "Don't worry, Chu Yuxuan said it's fine."

Zhou Xiaoruo clasped her hands together in a prayer-like gesture, "Dear Heaven, I vow that if I drink again, make my chest ten times bigger!"

Zhao Yanan teased her, "Zero times ten is still zero."

Zhou Xiaoruo:

Half an hour later, Zhao Yanan had finished her makeup and was ready to go to the office.

Zhou Xiaoruo, having no interest in sleeping more, decided to leave with her.

Coincidentally, as they were about to leave, Old Fourth came out with a bag of trash.

Their eyes met, creating a somewhat awkward atmosphere.

Zhao Yanan thought that, even though she had asked Chu Yuxuan to pass on the apology, since they had run into each other, she might as well apologize in person.

However, before she could say anything, Zhou Xiaoruo unexpectedly sighed and said, "Nannan, my twin sister drank too much last night. Just let her continue sleeping at your place… Oh, it really breaks my heart. I'm coming early in the morning just to check on her."

Zhao Yanan: What are you talking about?

Old Fourth: Is she mentally challenged or does she think I am?

At that moment, Chu Yuxuan called: "Nannan, are you ready to leave?"

Zhao Yanan replied, "Yes, I'm about to go downstairs."

"Then I won't come up. I'll wait for you in the underground garage."

Zhao Yanan was taken aback, not expecting Chu Yuxuan to come: "Alright."

A short while later, Zhao Yanan arrived at the underground garage. The black G-Class SUV was parked by the elevator, with Chu Yuxuan leaning against the rear door, smoking.

"Where's your friend? Is she still drunk?" Chu Yuxuan couldn't help but laugh.

Zhao Yanan replied, "She insisted on taking a cab herself."

"Does she not want to see me?"

"Hmm…"

Chu Yuxuan smiled, extended his hand to shake hands with his wife, and opened the car door: "Let's go."

As the car started moving, Chu Yuxuan handed Zhao Yanan the porridge he had just bought and said, "Today is Friday. Let this big guy take you to the studio tonight. I'm worried you'll be too tired to drive safely."

"Hmm…" Zhao Yanan accepted the porridge, took a sip through a straw, and said, "Actually, Director Song had discussed inviting you for this episode, but it was later canceled."

Chu Yuxuan raised an eyebrow, "Afraid I'll hit someone again? Please, I only hit invertebrates, not in the human category."

Zhao Yanan shook her head, "No. Your performance last time brought a lot of attention to their show. They actually wanted you to come again… However, you had a conflict with Ye Tianyi recently. Although I've done some damage control, there's still a lot of negative news about you online."

"Got it," Chu Yuxuan grinned, "So they're worried about me ruining their show."

Zhao Yanan said abruptly, "There's a charity auction gala the night after tomorrow. You should come with me and bid on a few items. I'll help you with PR to completely suppress the negative news."

Chu Yuxuan's eyes glinted, "Nannan, I've noticed a big change in your attitude towards me. You're starting to care about me."

Zhao Yanan looked out the window, "No, it's for the company."

"You seem a bit insincere."

Zhao Yanan drank her porridge and didn't respond.

Old Third: Hehe…

Chu Yuxuan: "What are you laughing at?"

Old Third: ...

I should be under the car, not inside it.

Moments later, the car stopped at a traffic light, and a Bentley was parked next to them on the left.

As Zhao Yanan was about to shift her gaze, the rear window of the Bentley suddenly rolled down, revealing a stern face with a cold gaze, staring intently at the back of the G-Class as if it could see through the tinted windows.

"Ye Yongsheng!" Even though Zhao Yanan knew he couldn't see her inside the car, the mere sight of his gaze made her shiver, as if the temperature inside the car had dropped significantly.

Chu Yuxuan looked over, then rolled down his window slightly, meeting Ye Yongsheng's gaze with a hint of amusement.

Neither said anything, and their silent standoff continued until the traffic light turned green. The Bentley slowly started moving, the rear window rolled up, and Ye Yongsheng's expression remained unchanged.

In that brief moment, the oppressive atmosphere left Zhao Yanan feeling uneasy. She said, "Chu Yuxuan, be careful. Ye Yongsheng isn't just anyone. He's ruthless and I've heard his connections are extensive."

"It's fine. Chu Zhiqing will deal with him," Chu Yuxuan replied with a smile.

People often compare Ye Yongsheng to Chu Zhiqing. Experiencing his presence firsthand, although the pressure was significant, Chu Yuxuan felt Ye Yongsheng was still somewhat distant compared to Chu Zhiqing. Whereas Chu Zhiqing exuded an inherent authority even when calm, Ye Yongsheng relied more on his inherent ruthlessness.

To put it bluntly, Ye Yongsheng had more aggression than strategy.

Chu Zhiqing, on the other hand, might know how to use "four ounces to move a thousand pounds."
