The story of Rose starts with being a brother

Chapter 488 That Woman Came (Part 3) I'm Here to Join Them

The elevator downstairs in the Love Apartment building.

"The party's about to start, I need to go back and change!"

"You're still in the mood for a party? Tang Youyou and Guan Gu are about to go on dates with their secret lovers!"

Hu Yifei and Zeng Xiaoxian entered the elevator. Ever since they discovered the shocking secret between the two of them that morning, they had been troubled by it all day.

This kind of thing, which subverts their perception of their apartment roommates, is really hard for them to accept.

"Then what do you suggest we do? Our apartment is about to become..." Hu Yifei thought for a moment before uttering two words, "...sinful and...evil."

"What else can we do? This is just their personal... fetish, what can we do?" Zeng Xiaoxian waved his hand helplessly.

Upon hearing this, Hu Yifei immediately became angry: "But this happened in our apartment, in our two suites!"

"I never imagined that something like this could happen in our apartment, with me, a talk show host and a public figure, and you, a university professor, both of us who are supposed to be role models for students!!"

We have to do something!

Zeng Xiaoxian glanced at her: "What can we do?"

"Of course, we need to stop the two of them... no, the four of them from meeting!"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Zeng Xiaoxian frowned. How could he stop this?
After a two-second silence in the elevator, Zeng Xiaoxian shook his head and sighed, "Hey, why do we always seem to run into this cuckolding thing? This time it's even worse, the young couple is cheating on each other!"

Hmm... The last time was when Ziqiao, Meijia, and Guangu first moved in. They also overheard and mistakenly thought that Meijia had cheated on Ziqiao and was having an affair with Guangu.

After all, Ziqiao and Meijia checked in as a couple in order to enjoy the benefits.

Unexpectedly, one of the main characters this time is still Guan Gu.

"It's not us, it's you!" Hu Yifei refused to let him drag her into this. "Anyway, nothing good ever comes of being with you!"

"What does this have to do with me? Was it me who seduced Youyou into cheating?"

"That's none of my business. I'm the one who seduced Guan Gu into cheating on me?"

There was another second of silence in the elevator. Zeng Xiaoxian belatedly asked, "Then why are we so nervous?"

"Nonsense, I already said it happened where we live. How can we just stand by and watch them fall into depravity?"

After a pause, Hu Yifei continued, "When you see Guan Gu and Youyou later, how do you plan to persuade them?"

"I don't know," Zeng Xiaoxian retorted, "I haven't seen them all day. Luckily they're not here, hehe!"

"Hey? I didn't do anything wrong, why should I feel guilty?" Zeng Xiaoxian shrugged.

The two fell silent, unable to think of anything to do. Only then did they realize that they had been in the elevator for quite some time, but it hadn't moved at all.

"I'm pressing the elevator button!"

Just as Zeng Xiaoxian was about to press the elevator button, the elevator doors opened again, and Guan Gu Shenqi walked in.

……

Inside suite 3601.

"Everyone is celebrating Tony's departure, but who is this Tony?"

Xinling looked at the banner hanging in the living room and couldn't help but ask curiously.

“Tony makes cakes at the bar downstairs,” Zhang Wei explained. “He’s leaving soon, and because his lobster seafood pie is very popular, I’m throwing this farewell party to express my best wishes to him.”

"That's it."

Hearing this, Xinling nodded and finally praised, "Attorney Zhang, you are truly a kind and warm-hearted person."

"..."

Heaven knows how happy Zhang Wei was at that moment; Xinling's words made him feel incredibly good.

From the moment he entered, the other party had been addressing him as Attorney Zhang, and those three words alone made him feel incredibly comfortable, not to mention what the other party had just said.
Why hold this farewell party? Isn't it just to prove that I am a righteous, noble, and kind person?

People finally figured it out!

"Hehe, it's not so bad, actually. I'm usually a low-key person, that's my principle. The main thing is that Tony is leaving, and I feel that even if I'm a low-key person, I should still do something in this situation, like throwing him a farewell party!"

After saying these words without batting an eye, Zhang Wei tactfully smiled and drank some water.

Xinling wasn't stupid. After glancing at him, she smiled and asked, "Then why didn't anyone come to your farewell party?"

"..."

Zhang Wei's face stiffened, and after taking another sip of water, he retorted, "Who said no one came? Didn't you come?"

"I?"

“Yes, my farewell party has just begun. Since you are the first one to attend, it proves that you are also a righteous, noble, and kind person, so all these snacks and treats are provided to you for free!” Zhang Wei said, pointing to the expired snacks and cold fries on the table.

"..."

Xinling felt strange. She had heard the name of Wensheng's lawyer roommate from Guangu yesterday, but she had never heard him say anything about what kind of person he was.

This meeting is quite unexpected...

"Uh... thank you." Xinling smiled awkwardly. "Will anyone else come?"

"Of course! There's another person who already made a reservation, but she probably got the time wrong. I'll call her now and let her know."

Xinling's eyes lit up. Wensheng was coming back?
Zhang Wei picked up the landline and called Qin Yumo.

"Hey? Yu Mo, where are you right now?"

"I'm at a bar!"

"..."

Zhang Wei and Xinling were both startled at the same time.

The former was surprised that Yu Mo had gone to a bar, while the latter was surprised that the call wasn't for Wen Sheng.

Zhang Wei quickly asked, "What are you doing at the bar? Didn't we agree to come to the party?"

"Huh? You didn't host this party?"

Glancing at Xinling, whose gaze was somewhat strange, Zhang Wei, feeling embarrassed, hurriedly said, "My party is at the apartment, OK?!"

"Oh, then maybe I made a mistake." Yu Mo's tone was initially surprised on the phone, but then she chuckled and said, "But it doesn't matter, this place is great!"

"Whatever?! You..." Zhang Wei raised his voice, about to passionately speak, but seeing Xinling beside him, he forcibly suppressed his laughter and said, "Didn't we agree to stick to our principles? Besides..."

“Actually, some people have already come to my party. I don’t really care if you don’t come, but I still hope that there can be one more righteous, noble and kind person in the apartment.”

Qin Yumo ignored Zhang Wei's boastful words, but was quite curious about the fact that people had already arrived at the party he mentioned.

"Someone's at the party? Who is it?" Qin Yumo asked.

“Oh, Xinling, Guangu’s friend.” Zhang Wei turned and smiled. “A beautiful lady who is righteous, noble, and kind.”

"..."

Xinling felt a little embarrassed after hearing this.

However, Qin Yumo then posed a crucial question: "Does she know that she also has to pay a gift to attend your farewell party?"

"..."

The atmosphere on the phone instantly fell silent. Zhang Wei looked at Xinling, who looked completely bewildered, and thought to himself, "What kind of talk is this? Charging money for a farewell party? Is that even a farewell party? Besides, she was the first person to attend. With that kind of support, there's no way I could accept money from her!"

"Huh? Do I need to pay more?" Xinling asked in surprise, sensing something was amiss.

"No, we've already said we're kind people, how could we possibly accept money?" Zhang Wei said with a forced smile. "You eat your food, don't worry about these things, it's all free."

If you finally manage to get someone to come and support you, what if you scare them away by saying you're going to charge them money? You'll end up losing both money and people.
Looking at the snacks on the table, Xinling found it hard to muster any appetite and could only smile and say, "I'll eat later. By the way, Lawyer Zhang, can you tell me about Wensheng? I heard he lives here too."

"Ok?"

"Ok?"

A voice came from both ends of the phone at the same time.

At this moment, Xinling took out her wallet, pulled out a hundred-yuan bill, and continued, "Attorney Zhang is already very kind to hold such a farewell party for free, but I think if a kind person attends, they should take the initiative to pay a gift."

"what?"

"Huh?" A voice came from both ends of the phone at the same time.

Zhang Wei's eyes were fixed on the hundred yuan that Xinling handed him, and he didn't even hear what Yu Mo said on the phone.

The only thought left in my mind was—could this farewell party really make money?!
"Yu Mo, have a good time over there. I'm going to show my new friend the apartment. Bye!" Zhang Wei said into the phone before hanging up.

Then he smiled at Xinling and said, "Look, where should I begin to introduce Wensheng to you?"

……

"what!"

A scream suddenly erupted from the living room of 3602. Tang Youyou, who was washing her hands in the bathroom, rushed out and saw her senior brother, Du Jun, leaning against the sofa with a pained expression.

"Brother, what's wrong with you?"

Hu Yifei clapped her hands, and seeing Tang Youyou come out, she couldn't help but snort, "What Little White Dragon? He has ulterior motives! Youyou, look at the kind of person you've found!"

Tang Youyou exclaimed anxiously, "He's Guan Gu's senior brother!"

Hu Yifei was stunned for a moment, then immediately exclaimed, "Then we absolutely can't look for him! It's too sinful!"

Wearing a green hat is bad enough for Guan Gu, but to have it on his senior brother is just... a misfortune for the sect!

After bumping into Guan Gu in the elevator, Hu Yifei and Zeng Xiaoxian were startled. Within seconds, the two tacitly divided their tasks: Zeng Xiaoxian held Guan Gu back while Yifei came up to investigate. Upon seeing Youyou's "lover" here, she immediately tried to get rid of him.

Coincidentally, Du Jun mistook Hu Yifei for the girlfriend Youyou was going to introduce to him, and refused to leave. In the ensuing scuffle, he even grabbed Hu Yifei.

This instantly triggered Hu Yifei's body's defense mechanisms.

The eldest brother already had his right hand bandaged, leaving only his left hand intact. Now, his left hand is dislocated as well.

Seeing that Hu Yifei had misunderstood her, Tang Youyou said helplessly, "What? We're talking about serious business!"

"You didn't tell me your friend's cousin knows ninjutsu!" the senior brother wailed, his hands now useless.

Just as Tang Youyou was about to explain, Hu Yifei twitched her ears and quickly signaled her to be quiet.

"Shh, Guan Gu is back."

Tang Youyou was startled. She had invited Du Jun over without Guan Gu's knowledge in order to help him resolve the conflict between his fellow disciples.

"Why is he back? Yifei, help him to the restroom first."

After the two girls hurriedly got their senior brother into the toilet, Guan Gu Shenqi, who had been delayed by Zeng Xiaoxian for half a day, finally pushed open the door and came in.

"Zeng Xiaoxian, why are you acting so strangely today? We had already arrived, but you insisted on sitting on the top floor before coming down!"

"Hehe, I..." Zeng Xiaoxian glanced around the suite, and breathed a sigh of relief when he didn't see anyone. "I deliberately let Hu Yifei have the best of luck. She'll definitely be unhappy if she loses to us in climbing the stairs!"

Guan Gu Shenqi was too lazy to say anything more. Xinling was coming over tonight, and he had been struggling for a long time without telling Wen Sheng about it. After thinking it over, he still felt that he should try to persuade Xinling again.

Otherwise, when Nuolan settles the score later, he will be the sinner.

After putting down his backpack, Guan Gu said, "Your stair-climbing game is over. I have plans to meet someone and I have other things to do, so I won't be able to keep you company any longer."

After saying that, he was about to go to the next room from the balcony, not knowing if Xinling had come over yet.

Seeing this, Zeng Xiaoxian quickly stopped him and said, "Wait, Guangu! You can't go next door yet."

"why?"

"Because...because..."

Seeing that Guan Gu Shenqi's face was starting to show impatience, Zeng Xiaoxian racked his brains and blurted out, "Because Zhang Wei is having a farewell party next door, and he won't let people in who haven't paid a gift."

"Are you kidding me? I'm just going there to wait for someone, I'm not going to his farewell party. Besides, we all live here, why would he charge us?"

Guan Gu was about to go over when Zeng Xiaoxian stopped him again.

"I know, but think about it, what if Zhang Wei sees you there and insists on dragging you to participate, and then forces you to pay a gift?"

Zeng Xiaoxian continued, "During the day, Yu Mo was dragged to participate by him. Do you think Zhang Wei would let go of an opportunity to earn a hundred yuan?"

"..."

Guan Gu hesitated for a moment, then, thinking of Zhang Wei's personality, he nodded in agreement: "That makes sense!"

"See, I was right. That's why you can't go over there yet."

"But I have appointments with other people."

"Who did you meet? Male or female? Pretty or not? What's your relationship with them? Does Youyou know that? How can you do this to Youyou?"

"..."

Tang Youyou, hiding in the bathroom, stared wide-eyed, hardly believing what she had just heard.

Hu Yifei, who was standing nearby, quickly said, "Don't get excited, don't get excited, it's a misunderstanding. Maybe it's just a misunderstanding, like when you invited Guan Gu's senior brother over."

During the short time she was hiding in the bathroom, Tang Youyou had explained everything to her, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, she was still unsure whether Guan Gu's side was mistaken.

Upon hearing this, Tang Youyou had no choice but to suppress her impulse and choose to trust her boyfriend.

Guan Gu Shenqi, standing outside the door, was at a loss for words. He wanted to say that Xinling had come to repay Wen Sheng's kindness by marrying him, but that would be too outrageous. Moreover, this matter concerned Xinling's privacy, and if he told others directly now... what if Xinling had another heart attack?
Zeng Xiaoxian looked at him with disdain, snorted, and said, "You wait here first, I'll go next door to check the situation."

"Teacher Zeng, please don't misunderstand, actually..."

Guan Gu Shenqi hesitated for a moment, then finally said, "Don't let Zhang Weiqiang take your money."

……

3601.

When Zeng Xiaoxian walked over, he saw a pretty girl sitting on the sofa, and Zhang Wei just came out of Wen Sheng's room.

"Brother Sheng usually likes music, and men like us have a certain taste in music... wait, Teacher Zeng?"

Upon seeing Zeng Xiaoxian enter, Zhang Wei exclaimed in surprise, "Are you here for the farewell party too?"

"Get out of here, I..." Zeng Xiaoxian couldn't help but correct him after seeing the conspicuous banner above the living room, "I'll say it again, his name is Danny, not Tony!"

"..."

Hearing the noise, Xinling turned around, stood up, and smiled, "Hello, my name is Xinling."

So beautiful! What a pity...

Zeng Xiaoxian was initially filled with emotion, but when he thought about how such a beautiful girl was his lover, he felt regret.

"Hello, I'm a good man, I am—Zeng Xiaoxian!"

This self-introduction, ingrained in his very being, always made it difficult for him to say it when facing young and beautiful girls.

Zhang Wei, who was walking downstairs, smiled and said, "Teacher Zeng, Xinling is Guan Gu..."

"I know, you don't have to tell me!"

Zeng Xiaoxian interrupted Zhang Wei, the situation was urgent and time was short, so he said directly to Xinling, "Xinling, right? Thank you for coming to Tony's farewell party, but you have to leave now!"

"Now?"

Cyndi raised an eyebrow slightly.

“Yes, right now.” The relationship talk show host Zeng Xiaoxian said seriously, “Xinling, I can tell you’re a good girl just by looking at you. It’s better to turn back before it’s too late. It’s better for everyone if you leave here sooner.”

Xinling fell silent for a moment. She had heard Guan Gu mention this Teacher Zeng before and knew that he was also Wen Sheng's friend. She had originally hoped to make a good impression, but she didn't expect to be driven away as soon as they met.

Seeing this, Attorney Zhang quickly stepped in to defuse the situation, saying, "Teacher Zeng, what are you doing? Xinling is just a girl, she's only been sitting down for a short while at the farewell party, and you're already kicking her out?"

He paused, then asked, "And what about that 'pulling back from the brink of disaster' you mentioned? What does that have to do with anything else?"

"Oh dear, this matter can't be explained to you in just a few words. In short, she can't stay here any longer, or someone will die!"

"That's an exaggeration? Teacher Zeng, don't scare people." Zhang Wei was completely baffled by Zeng Xiaoxian's words.

Zeng Xiaoxian glanced back at the balcony, then looked at Xinling, wanting to be more forceful in his words. But seeing her expression, he hesitated and gently advised, "Xinling, I understand that young girls like you would throw themselves at a good man without hesitation. I know that all too well. But it depends on the situation. Since he already has a partner, then you..."

After a slight pause, Zeng Xiaoxian chuckled dryly and said, "A good girl like you would never have the heart to break them up."

“Of course, why would I break them up?” Xinling smiled.

Zeng Xiaoxian laughed along, but then he heard the other person continue:
"I'm here to join them."
