Chapter 400 Cross-dressing boss
Chapter 400 Cross-dressing boss
As soon as Xi Wuyong finished speaking, everyone in the room, including the eldest uncle's family and other relatives who had just come in from outside, all looked over.
Madam Xi immediately sensed that the visitors were not friendly and took the initiative to introduce them: "These are my sister's children. They knew that our family was holding an ancestral worship ceremony today, so they came to visit and stopped by to watch the festivities."
Logically speaking, since Madam Xi, as an elder, has come out to explain, Xi Wuyong, as a junior, should know when to stop.
But this man seemed determined to cause trouble today. His gaze lingered on the group, and he said with a half-smile, "So you're my aunt's sister's child. But I seem to remember that your aunt's sister only had two children, a boy and a girl. This... could it be her brother-in-law's daughter? That would only be one boy and two girls, so there's one more? Could I be mistaken?"
"You're not mistaken."
Madam Xi frowned, knowing that this guy had come prepared, so she decided to lay it all out with him to see what he was really up to.
“My sister did indeed have a son and a daughter. The eldest son is the one over here, and the younger daughter isn’t here today. This one over here is her brother-in-law’s daughter, and the other two are her brother and sister.”
"Brother and sister?" Xi Wuyong frowned. "But I heard that my aunt's younger brother and his wife died in a car accident years ago, leaving behind an orphan girl who was adopted by my aunt and brother-in-law. Oh, look at my memory, not long ago there was a rumor that the orphan girl from the second branch of the Li family was switched at birth in the hospital. Could this be her? Then these two are her adoptive parents' brother and sister?"
Xi Wuyong sized up Du Yuxi, then said insincerely, "I apologize for not knowing your identities beforehand. If I have offended you, I hope you won't take it to heart. But this young lady looks somewhat familiar, like... like the master from that viral video online?"
Xi Wuyong's words were truly a revelation, and Du Anrao stared wide-eyed in bewilderment, not quite understanding how the topic had suddenly shifted to him.
Du Hexuan stood beside Du Anrao with a forced, cold smile. This cousin of the Xi family had good eyesight; he could recognize his sister as the female protagonist of the viral video not long ago, but he couldn't recognize him, the national movie star who frequently appeared on the big screen and in the headlines of various entertainment sections. It was simply too outrageous.
They don't even know how to do their homework before acting. In their industry, someone with such poor basic skills will only ever be relegated to the sidelines!
Xi Wuyong noticed the sudden darkening of Xi Jingyue's family's expressions, but instead of panicking, he felt somewhat smug.
"Before I came here, I heard that my cousin had specially invited a master to look at the feng shui of our ancestral graves. Could it be this master in front of me? Cousin Jingyue, don't blame me for being blunt, but most real Taoist masters live in seclusion, don't easily make a move, and are very experienced and highly respected. They are not comparable to those young girls on the internet who love to hype themselves up."
"Of course, I'm not saying this young lady is a fraud, but I feel she's young and inexperienced, and her skills are inevitably lacking. This is our ancestral graveyard, the resting place of our ancestors, and we can't afford the slightest mistake. What if..."
Du Anrao: "..."
【You call that not saying anything? You've clearly said everything. Wow, I never expected to run into a male scheming woman after all this time out.】
Du Anrao's short temper flared up suddenly, and his gaze toward Xi Wuyong became more aggressive than before.
"Fine, fine, I won't come looking for you. You just had to deliver yourselves to my door, didn't you? You asked for this, so don't blame me for being mean!"
"Judging from Mr. Xi's tone, it seems that he knows a master who is older, more experienced, more respected and capable than me."
Xi Wuyong straightened his back instantly: "I wouldn't dare say I know them, but I've only met one or two by chance and had the honor of exchanging a few words with them."
"I see." Du Anrao pondered for a moment, then glanced meaningfully at the person behind Xi Wuyong. "Didn't this highly skilled master tell you that you have a romantic calamity this year, and if you're not careful, you might get yourself into trouble?" As soon as Du Anrao said this, everyone followed her gaze to Xi Wuyong.
The eldest uncle's family, who had been hiding not far away pretending to pack things up as cover, but were actually keeping a close eye on everything happening here, were also stunned.
Especially Xi Wuyong's wife, Wu Qixian, rushed over immediately: "A love affair calamity? What love affair calamity? Xi Wuyong, how dare you have another woman behind my back!"
"No, no, no, honey, don't listen to her nonsense, I didn't, I really didn't!"
Just as the young couple was about to have a full-blown fight, Du Anrao floated up behind them with a cheeky grin and added, "There really aren't any other women."
Wu Qixian's movements suddenly stopped, and Xi Wuyong felt as if he had been granted a pardon: "Wife, see, I told you I didn't, I really didn't lie to you..."
Before he could finish speaking, Du Anrao casually uttered another startling statement: "It's also possible that there are other men involved."
"What?!" Wu Qixian dropped the feather duster she was holding with a thud, rolled her eyes, and fell backward.
Xi Wuyong instinctively reached out to take it, but he took too big a step and pulled on a certain part of his body, causing him to turn pale with pain and stop moving.
In the end, it was the eldest aunt who arrived first and caught her poor daughter-in-law.
Wu Qixian's fainting caused a moment of chaos, but most of the onlookers noticed Xi Wuyong's momentary stiffness and their gazes toward him became subtle.
Du Anrao shook his head, giving him a smug look that said, "Look at you, look at you. It would be so much better to do your job properly and keep a low profile. Why did you have to come and provoke me?"
It turns out that this older cousin, who loves to cause trouble for Xi Jingyue and is somewhat dim-witted but not very bright, is just like his father—someone who has affairs outside the home while keeping his wife at home.
He was just a bit more principled than his father. Although he was prone to cheating, he didn't like juggling multiple relationships and managing his time effectively. He would usually keep a mistress for a while, break up with her when he got bored, and then move on to the next one. He was also careful about his relationships with his mistresses, making sure he wouldn't accidentally cause a death with any of them.
Recently, this older cousin, like Qiu Jichen before him, has started engaging in trendy online dating.
The only difference is that Qiu Jichen only heard his online partner's voice throughout the entire online relationship and never saw what the other person looked like.
Xi Wuyong's online romance was different; his love interest was a female internet celebrity streamer.
Just from this description, you can tell that the online love interest that Xi Wuyong has his eye on is actually a cross-dressing man!
