Chapter 364: Chapter 362: Offering You a Free Lesson in Bitch-Identifying~
Xia Wenqing had no idea that his wife had outright changed her profile picture just by him switching his.
When he returned to the office, he received another leave request text from Xu Zhenzhen.
Xia Wenqing was completely exasperated.
But he really had no way to deal with Xu Zhenzhen.
Over the weekend, because of Xia Wenjue’s birthday, Lu Zhaozhao and Song Sinian went to the Xia Family house ahead of time.
Since it was an internal, small birthday banquet, they originally planned to invite just a few close friends.
The Xia Family hadn’t been in the country long, and most of the Xia brothers’ businesses were overseas, so they didn’t have many close friends domestically, hence the limited guest list.
But then Mr. Song had made plans to go fishing with an old friend in advance.
Xu Zhenzhen said she had important matters and couldn’t get away.
So, in the end, only Pei Huai showed up at the Xia Family house.
"Big bro, why didn’t you bring your girlfriend back?" Before the meal, Xia Wenyan, sitting on the sofa and watching Xia Wenqing, who was still working on his laptop, couldn’t help but pry.
He had intended to munch an apple from the table, but Pei Huai took it away from him.
He looked puzzledly at Pei Huai, but heard him say indifferently, "We’re going to eat soon, if you want an apple, have one after the meal."
Xia Wenyan pouted and reluctantly withdrew his hand, sitting obediently back in his original spot.
Xia Wenqing’s brows lifted slightly as he looked up from beside his computer.
Xia Wenyan, this goofball, actually listens sometimes?
Xia Wenqing couldn’t help but take a few more glances at Pei Huai, then turned his gaze to Xia Wenyan, and said lightly, "I don’t have a girlfriend, what’s there to bring?"
He did want to bring Xu Zhenzhen back, but she might already have a boyfriend by now.
At that thought, Xia Wenqing’s mood turned irritable.
He had thought that when Lu Zhaozhao came for his big brother’s birthday, she might bring Xu Zhenzhen.
But unexpectedly, even Lu Zhaozhao was turned down by her, claiming to have other important matters.
Could it be the same guy who made her request leave the last time?
Xia Wenqing’s dark eyes narrowed as his fingers typing on the keyboard grew heavier.
Sitting opposite him, Lu Zhaozhao looked at Xia Wenqing curiously, becoming interested in what Xia Wenyan had just said.
She leaned in close to Xia Wenyan and whispered, "Fourth bro, how did you know second bro has a girlfriend?"
It was hard to imagine what Xia Wenqing dating would even be like, given that besides work, there was only more work.
Lu Zhaozhao couldn’t help but feel disappointed, if Xia Wenqing also had a partner, then the only people left to introduce to Xu Zhenzhen would be Xia Wenjue and Xia Wenmo.
Xia Wenmo would definitely not be suitable.
Her third brother liked to quietly paint, and with Xu Zhenzhen’s love for gossip and excitement, they surely wouldn’t match.
As for the eldest brother... he was also very busy, but it wasn’t totally out of the question.
She had actually thought Xia Wenqing was the most suitable one, as both being lawyers and working together.
Dealing with bizarre cases should provide more than enough gossip material for Xu Zhenzhen, meeting all the criteria.
But now... he’s got someone.
So that’s not going to work out.
Xia Wenyan had merely intended to tease Xia Wenqing a bit, but seeing how interested Lu Zhaozhao was, he immediately perked up.
"Second bro must be dating in secret, but probably too shy to say so," he whispered to Lu Zhaozhao, gossiping beside her.
His voice was intentionally low, but that didn’t mean Xia Wenqing couldn’t hear.
Things were already difficult enough between him and Xu Zhenzhen, and if Lu Zhaozhao told Xu Zhenzhen he had a girlfriend now, even if Xu Zhenzhen broke it off with that guy, she probably wouldn’t consider him anymore.
Thinking this, Xia Wenqing stared at Xia Wenyan very seriously and asserted once more, "I’ll say it again, I do not have a girlfriend."
Lu Zhaozhao blinked her watery eyes and was equally puzzled.
Her second brother’s attitude indeed seemed like he didn’t have a girlfriend, given his old-fashioned personality, if he did have one, he would definitely be upfront about it.
There wouldn’t be any sneaking around.
Then what’s with her fourth brother’s certainty?
Lu Zhaozhao narrowed her eyes and turned to Xia Wenyan, asking, "Fourth brother, why are you so sure? Did someone tell you?"
Xia Wenyan shook his head decisively, took out his phone, and flipped through it to show Lu Zhaozhao, "Look, second brother has even changed to a couple’s profile picture, isn’t that evidence enough of having a girlfriend?"
Xia Wenyan’s words made Xia Wenqing frown as well; he looked unconsciously and just saw Liu Xiaozhen’s profile picture, which she had helped him take.
Then there was Liu Xiaozhen’s own profile picture.
He didn’t notice anything inappropriate, but rather looked confusedly at Xia Wenyan and asked, "Aren’t these just profile pictures with a similar style?"
"..."
"..."
"..."
Even Lu Zhaozhao couldn’t help but twitch at the corners of her mouth.
So this was the reason her second brother didn’t have a girlfriend?
She previously thought Xia Wenyan was naively direct, but now it seems... her second brother is the real ironclad straight man. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
At least her fourth brother knows how to identify "bitches"!
By comparison, her second brother is truly weak.
Xia Wenyan even looked disdainfully at Xia Wenqing and couldn’t help asking, "Second brother, are you interested in this Liu Xiaozhen?"
Xia Wenqing shook his head decisively, "Not interested, she’s just a colleague."
Lu Zhaozhao also became curious, "If you’re colleagues, why use a couple’s profile picture?"
If Song Sinian dared to use a couple’s profile picture with another woman, she would definitely explode on the spot.
Xia Wenqing had intended to continue denying the matter of the couple’s profile picture, but seeing that Lu Zhaozhao also cared so much about it, made him unconsciously reflect on himself.
Did they really see it as a couple’s profile picture in their eyes?
He didn’t mind other people’s opinions, but that didn’t mean he wanted to be misunderstood by Lu Zhaozhao and Xu Zhenzhen.
After a moment of contemplation, Xia Wenqing explained why he changed his profile picture, "I think the clients I’ll be dealing with in the future will be younger, so that’s why I chose to change my profile picture."
"..."
"..."
"..."
The living room once again fell into silence.
Lu Zhaozhao couldn’t resist looking up at Song Sinian, who was sitting beside her, and asked, "Mr. Song... if it were you..."
"I wouldn’t go out alone with a woman," Song Sinian said, already winning at the starting line.
Even Xia Wenyan couldn’t resist applauding from the side, "Well done, brother-in-law, perfect answer."
With that said, he couldn’t help but look at Xia Wenqing disdainfully and asked, "Second brother, do you now realize where the problem lies?"
"..."
Honestly, he didn’t.
He even felt a bit baffled.
He memorized so many legal provisions, yet none were as convoluted as the few Xia Wenyan had mentioned.
Xia Wenyan sighed at Xia Wenqing and couldn’t resist patting Pei Huai on the shoulder, saying, "Brother Pei, see that? That’s someone blinded by a ’green tea bitch,’ you can’t follow his example!"
Pei Huai chuckled and nodded at his smug expression, "Understood."
Xia Wenqing: "..."
Xia Wenyan, satisfied, lifted his chin and took out his phone, opened Liu Xiaozhen’s profile picture, and said, "Come on, Teacher Xia will give you a free lesson on bitch-identifying~"
