After the award ceremony, the Yun family couldnât wait to meet Yun Xingze.
âXingze, you became thin.â When Yun Changsheng met, he embraced Yun Xingze excitedly with a tone was full of joy.âI didnât expect you to join the school team. Dad is proud of you!â
Yun Xingze froze. In his impression, one could say this father did not care for the original owner at all. In many cases, Qin Shuangâs partiality and Yun Wu were also tacitly approved by Yun Changsheng. If he really cared about him, how could he allow Qin Shuang to cut off his living expenses?
Yun Xingze was unmoved. He did not even reciprocate Yun Changshengâs hug, and said with a flat tone: âI didnât expect you to come.â
Yun Changsheng stiffened when he heard the words, but he quickly smiled at Yun Xingze. âAlthough I am usually a little busy, this is your awards ceremony. How can I not come?â
As the boss of the mecha company, Yun Changsheng has already seen Yun Xingzeâs strength from a few short videos. Naturally, he did not treat Yun Xingze like before.
At this moment, Qin Shuang also stepped forward and smiled and said to Yun Xingze: âXingze, I didnât expect you to buy a mecha by yourself and find someone to help you refit it. If I knew, why wouldnât I give you money? Look at you, taking part in a competition and not even discussing it with your family. We didnât even know you won a prize.â
Yun Xingze still remembers that when he broke off his marriage contract, Qin Shuang wanted to jump out of his optical brain and scold him. She even looked at him, yelling âyour only value is to please Chi Yuâ. But how her attitude completely changed.
Itâs really ridiculous.
âInstead of being treated hot and cold,1ĺĺŻéŽć â idiom about asking a lot of hot and cold questions when showing care about someone itâs better to make money directly.â Yun Xingze smiled at Qin Shuang politely.
Qin Shuang didnât expect Yun Xingze to say this. She quickly concealed the embarrassment on her face, and said to Yun Xingze: âIf you want money, just say it. Weâre all one family, and wonât treat you harshlyâŚâ
âIâll send it immediately.â Yun Changsheng pushed Qin Shuang away who was still chattering on. He turned on his optical brain, and made a huge two million star coin deposit into Yun Xingzeâs account. âXingze, you can drive mecha now. Dad is very happy⌠donât know when you had the time to learn, but driving is an alphaâs dream⌠uh, and also an omegaâs dream.â
Yun Changsheng has always only valued people with strength, so he disliked the original owner very much. Now that Yun Xingze was so strong that he became the focus of the audience, he didnât feel distressed when he transferred two million over
Luo Wenchuan watched the Yun family surrounding Yun Xingze. He was about to turn around and leave, when he saw Chi Yu walking towards them.
Qin Shuang saw Chi Yu appear, and immediately smiled: âAh, isnât this Chi Yu? You have also joined the school team this year? Thatâs great, our familyâs Xingxing2Nickname for Yun Xingze. The 2nd character, which means star also joined. The both of you should get along in the future. This is a great opportunity to fall in love.â
Qin Shuang spoke so loudly that even Luo Wenchuan heard her words. The latter couldnât help but frown slightly.
Hearing Qin Shuangâs words, Chi Yu was naturally happy. He immediately stretched out his hands to hug Yun Xingzeâs shoulders, and said, âI will definitely be good to XingzeâŚâ
Yun Xingze dodged sideways.
Chi Yuâs hands froze in the air.
Luo Wenchuanâs eyes became increasingly cold.
âXingzeâs temper is still the same as before,â Seeing this, Qin Shuang hurriedly mediated. âThe two of you shouldnât fight over trivial matters. Xingxing, you see, Chi Yu took the initiative to find you, so you shouldnât worry so much about those broken things from the pastâŚâ
Yun Xingze said coldly: âIf there is nothing else, I will leave first.â
âLook at you, whatâs the rush.â Qin Shuang grabbed Yun Xingze, smiled flatteringly at Chi Yu. Lowering her voice, she said to Yun Xingze: âDonât fool around, we need the Chi family.â
Yun Xingze direct said: âBut I donât need it.â
âUnless you can find someone with higher status than Chi Yu,â Qin Shuang pressed down her voice and hissed. âOtherwise, be more sensible and reunite with Chi Yu.â
âForget it, forget it, donât always force the two of them too much,â Yun Changsheng said to Qin Shuang, âLet them get along naturally.â
Chi Yu stood aside, pursing his lips, feeling a little at a loss.
Yun Changsheng suddenly changed the topic and asked Yun Xingze, âBy the way, Xingxing, who helped you refit your mecha. Can you give dad their contact informationâŚâ
Yun Xingze knew very well. The only cared about benefits.
They didnât consider themselves family members at all.
âTalk about mecha matters later,â Qin Shuang rolled her eyes. âYou havenât even met the best mecha masters in the capital, where can Xingxing find such a good one?
Chi Yu opened his mouth and said: âActually, the mecha refitting is all done by Xingze himselfâŚâ
âChi Yu, you must make up as soon as possible.â Qin Shuang grabbed Chi Yuâs hand, interrupting him, and said with a smile. âHow can Xingxing know so much about mechas? No matter if he can drive mechas, he will marry you in the future. You still have to cultivate your relationship after joining the school team together.â
Yun Wu whispered from the side: âEntering the school team is to compete. What kind of dating are you talking aboutâŚâ
Yun Xingze couldnât help but glance at him. The tall and handsome younger brother is one of the few normal people in this family.
âWhat do you know?â Qin Shuang said forcefully. âOur Xingxing and Chi Yu have a 89% matcha. Such a perfect pair, of course they have to cultivate feelings.â
Yun Xingze felt his head throb when he heard the words âmatchâ.
Because of this match, the original ownerâs life was bound to Chi Yu forcibly.
When Chi Yu heard the words, his heart was full of pride. He looked at Yun Xingze with eyes full of tenderness and affection.
Just as Qin Shuang wanted to pull Chi Yu and Yun Xingze to continue âcultivating feelingsâ, a cold voice suddenly came out: âXingze, a reporter from the school newspaper wants to interview you.â
Yun Xingze was stunned for a moment, and he turned his head to look. The person speaking was Luo Wenchuan, who appeared silently beside him, reaching out, and grabbing his wrist.
Immediately, Luo Wenchuan pulled Yun Xingze and took him away from the group without any room for objection.
Chi Yu was taken aback. By the time he reacted, un Xingze had already followed Luo Wenchuan away, and his face turned gloomy again.
âWho is that guy? Why are his eyes blind?â Qin Shuang frowned and looked at Luo Wenchuanâs back, âHe is tall and handsome, and seems to be the first place just now. Is he interested in our Xingxing?â
Chi Yuâs face became worse when he heard this. He said coldly: âA student from a barren star.â
âBarren star?â Hearing these two words, Qin Shuangâs eyes flashed with disgust. âThatâs not okay, someone coming from a barren star wants to get close to our Xingze?â
âDidnât our ancestors also come from a barren starâŚâ Yun Wu whispered.
âWhy do you talk so much all day long?â Qin Shuang glared at Yun Wu. âWe are now citizens of the Imperial Capital, so of course we canât find a poor boy from a barren star!â
Because their ancestors hailed from a barren star, the Yun family has been secretly labelled as ânouveau richeâ. Qin Shuang is particularly concerned about this identity.
Yun Changsheng interrupted Qin Shuang: âOkay, okay, why are you arguing? Originally, today should be to celebrate Xingxing, but look at you, meddling in so many things⌠Thereâs still things at the company, so letâs go.â
Qin Shuang looked at the Chi Yu, before leaving, said to him: âXiaochi, donât worry. You two are highly matched and will definitely get married in the end.â
Chi Yu was startled slightly, and immediately laughed: âWell, thank you auntie.â
He looked at the retreating backs of Luo Wenchuan and Yun Xingze, the gloom in his eyes turned into pride. Sooner or later, he thought, Yun Xingze would be his own, and it would be useless for Luo Wenchuan to compete with him.
Yun Xingze was taken to a corner by Luo Wenchuan.
âWhere is the school newspaper reporter?â Yun Xingze looked around. âWhy donât I see them?â
Luo Wenchuan curled his lips, stretched out his hand as if holding a microphone, cleared his throat, and used a reporterâs tone to ask: âBothering this classmate, how do you feel about winning the third place in this competition?â
Yun Xingze was taken aback for a moment, and reacted. It turns out that Luo Wenchuan just wanted to take him away to escape the group of people.
He couldnât help laugh, and replied pretentiously: âIt feels likeâŚvery good.â
Not only did he receive a half-million bonus, Yun Changsheng also transferred him two million. Now, he has a large sum of money.
âThe national league is about two weeks later,â Luo Wenchuan said while looking at Yun Xingze. âNow, you have to refit your mecha for the upcoming games.â
Yun Xingze nodded and suddenly asked: âDoes winning the national league have a bonus?â
He was taken aback. Luo Wenchuan didnât expect Yun Xingze to ask this, but this seemed to be another question he would ask. His lips hooked up as he replied: âIf you get into the top three, the bonus will be very generous.â
Yun Xingze said. âThen I should prepare well.â
Yun Wu is the only normal member from that group⌠a socialite mother, ambitious father, and braindead scum⌠whatâs missing? Oh, CYâs father who uses power to suppress people.
