Chapter 303: Chapter 297: His Kidneys Are So Weak, Even Grilling Them Wouldn’t Be Nourishing

Zhou Jinyuan looked at her, then said in an unhurried tone: "After all, didn’t you say before that we’re family? In terms of relationships, family is definitely closer."

Chen Xixi smiled; this logic was not flawed.

However, their supposed family ties were just casually spoken words.

Although she was not sure if Zhou Jinyuan was being serious, at the very least, he had provided her with a clue.

Did this mean that in his heart, her role as his childhood friend was somewhat significant?

Or perhaps this clue wasn’t important, which is why Zhou Jinyuan didn’t care if she knew or not?

Regardless of the reason, she now had the answer she wanted.

No wonder Xu Nianying’s gaze made her feel uncomfortable just now.

It was like enemies encountering each other, incompatible auras.

The main reason for the discomfort, it seems, was that Xu Nianying must know something, which is why he showed hostility unintentionally.

After having dinner with Zhou Jinyuan, on their way back,

Zhou Jinyuan suddenly reminded her: "Keep your distance from that Xu Mu."

Chen Xixi turned her head to look at him, didn’t say anything, just nodded.

He continued: "Lock your door when you sleep at night, don’t let anyone into your room casually, call me if anything happens."

"Got it."

He sounded like an elder, quite concerned.

She suddenly felt that Zhou Jinyuan’s care for her was indeed different.

He was very caring, yet he didn’t force her to give anything in return, truly considerate.

And this difference, she felt, was quite genuine, not an act.

In the end, it was still because of her childhood friend status. Once the program was over, she had to make it clear whether she was indeed that childhood friend or not!

Otherwise, she always felt as if she was unfairly taking advantage of others in a daze, feeling uncomfortable inside and unsure of how to interact properly with Zhou Jinyuan.

Dinner was still provided by the B&B, and Chen Xixi ate the simple meals there with Han Qianyi, instantly realizing that the exquisite meals Xu Mu had must be due to the high consumption within the B&B or specially provided.

Meanwhile, in room 1204.

Xu Nianying intended to nap a little while waiting for lunch to be delivered, but ended up sleeping through the day undisturbed until he was woken up by hunger.

Irritated, he called the B&B front desk and demanded sharply: "Is your lunch shipped from overseas or only available at midnight?"

The front desk was confused, asked for his room number, and after learning about the specific situation, said politely: "Mr. Xu, your lunch was delivered to you this afternoon."

"What?" Xu Nianying, looking at the empty room with not even a plate in sight, frowned tightly: "Check properly where it was delivered to!"

"Okay." The front desk hung up the phone, feeling baffled as the service department had confirmed it was indeed delivered to room 1204. How could it be missing?

After telling the manager about the situation, the manager felt something was off: "This person is definitely up to no good! He complained this morning about our staff gossiping about him during work hours, but when I looked into it, they weren’t talking about him at all. Now he says he didn’t receive his lunch, he’s definitely trying to cause trouble!"

The front desk worriedly asked: "What should we do now?"

"No worries, I’ll check the surveillance first to confirm it, as long as it’s not our fault, there’s no need to be afraid."

After checking the surveillance, the manager indeed saw someone accompanying Xu Nianying taking the cart away.

The surveillance footage at that time showed Xu Nianying speaking with Xu Mu, Xu Nianying opening the door, and letting Xu Mu in.

The manager angrily slapped the table: "This is outrageous! They’re working as a team!"

One stole the cart, the other pretending not to have eaten, trying to scam another luxurious meal!

How can someone living in such an expensive room have such poor quality?!

After transferring the surveillance footage to his phone, the manager confidently showed it to Xu Nianying.

Upon seeing it, Xu Nianying’s face turned as black as the bottom of a pot!

This damn kid must be itching for a beating after not getting hit for a few days!

Not only daring to sneak away, but he also took his lunch!

By this time, the food was probably long gone, and it would be pointless to search for it. Moreover, since they were filming a show, it wouldn’t be appropriate for him to punish Xu Mu on the spot and let outsiders see the Xu Family brothers making a joke of themselves on the program.

Wait for it, he’ll settle this account with his "good" little brother sooner or later!

Xu Nianying closed his eyes and clenched his teeth: "Send me another one."

The manager spoke with a smile: "This set meal costs 888 yuan."

Xu Nianying, with a dark face, took out a bank card from his wallet and handed it to the manager.

"Alright, Mr. Xu, I’ll have someone get right on it."

Xu Nianying’s brows and eyes revealed his irritable mood, "Hurry it up."

He had slept through dinner time, missing two meals already, and was very rushed.

...

Room 1202.

At this moment, Hu Yun and Little Zheng were still tugging at each other.

Hu Yun, looking at Little Zheng who had finished showering and was lying sprawled out on the bed occupying most of it, deliberately said in a soft voice: "I’m a girl, why don’t you let me sleep in the bed and you sleep on the sofa, okay～"

Little Zheng patted the space beside him, feigning composure with a smile: "Go ahead and sleep. I never said you couldn’t get on the bed. This bed is big enough for both of us to lie on!"

Internally he was extremely excited, to be sharing a bed with a female celebrity, how could he not be thrilled!

Hu Yun had no intention of being taken advantage of, "But a girl’s reputation is very important..."

Little Zheng, watching Hu Yun stand by the bed hesitantly, felt even more itchy inside, what could be more alluring than playing hard to get?

Hu Yun had previously expressed a desire to get along with him well, and now she was playing coy — was she just shy, or wanting him to take more initiative?

On the surface, Zheng He assumed the air of an upright gentleman: "We’re filming a show, we’re only supposed to chat, what else could I do to you, what are you afraid of!"

Seeing that perpetual tugging had no effect, Hu Yun braced herself and went to lie down on the sofa.

Little Zheng: "???"

Is she still playing hard to get?

He was too proud to coax her!

Little Zheng was somewhat Unhappy, but thinking about the big business deal waiting for him abroad, his mood improved.

He was about to make a fortune. Not to show off a bit, would simply not be his style!

He cleared his throat and started to make idle chat with Hu Yun: "I’m going abroad after the show ends to negotiate a big business deal. Do you want to come along for some fun?"

Hu Yun directly rejected: "No thanks." She feared being conned.

Little Zheng didn’t insist, continuing to outline a rosy future: "Fine, but once I succeed in this deal, when you film, I’ll invest in you."

It was perfect — he made money, and he’d get the girl, the best of both worlds!

Upon hearing "investment," Hu Yun’s drowsy mind immediately sharpened!

Even though Little Zheng was easily deceived, what if luck was on his side and he really made a profit!

She needed a backer right now, and even if there was just a small chance, she couldn’t just let it slip away!

After all, compared with the shrewd bigshots in the circle, Little Zheng was easier to handle.

With a bigshot, she could only be a plaything; with Little Zheng... she could play him for a fool!

Was there even a choice to deliberate?

[Going abroad to make big money?! Can I smell a hint of danger here?!]

[Little advice for Little Zheng, a gullible constitution isn’t cut out for business!]

[@Jiang City Police, dear officers, please keep an eye on Little Zheng, don’t let him leave the country! Otherwise, you’ll be busy!!]

[If Little Zheng must go, he should bring along two cops, or at least two with brains, lest he fail to understand the negotiations abroad!]

[I’m already worried for Little Zheng, his kidneys might be at stake.]

[Why worry for Little Zheng? With his dead sperm syndrome, what use does he have for damaged kidneys? With money, anyone can buy a good kidney.]

[That kidney of his, probably not even worth nourishing if roasted and eaten, too deficient...]

[It’s still got some other uses!]
