Xiang's house is located halfway up a mountain. When guests arrive, the open space inside and outside the door is blocked, making it difficult to walk.
Griffin Chu finally got around the traffic, but looking at the winding mountain road, he was worried. He didn't know if he had driven here, and it was not realistic to look for cars one by one, so he could only open the taxi app and wait.
Ten minutes passed and still no one took the order.
Griffin Chu was a little impatient in waiting. In fact, he didn't like to trouble anyone, but he still called his agent this time.
"Hey bro, are you free?"
The streetlight stretched the shadow extremely long. He lowered his head and saw another shadow slowly approaching.
As he turned around, Mason Xiang's ghost face with a bright white light appeared in front of him. The flashlight from his cell phone was shining on his chin, and he rolled his eyes.
Griffin Chu silently turned around, grabbed his cell phone and said, "Yes, it's in the Xiang family, in the rich area."
Mason Xiang asked for trouble and turned off the flashlight with a pout, "Who are you calling?"
"Brother Li Li." Griffin Chu hung up the phone.
"Oh, what are you doing? Do you have a trip tomorrow?"
Griffin Chu turned back, raised his head slightly and looked at him: "Tell your uncle and aunt that I have something to do, so I will go home first."
He twisted his neck. Although the difference was only a few centimeters, he had to raise his head when talking to Mason Xiang, which he didn't like very much.
"Why? You just left when the banquet started." Mason Xiang's face suddenly turned ugly. He was always like this, beaming with joy.
The August wind was stuffy, making Griffin Chu feel irritable: "I told you that something happened at home."
"What's the matter?" Mason Xiang asked.
"Private matters have nothing to do with you."
Mason Xiang was silent for a moment and said it clearly: "Are you angry? Or did I make you unhappy in some way?"
Griffin Chu: "No."
"Then why did you leave?"
Was today's drink drugged? Mason Xiang became very difficult to deal with.
Griffin Chu hated being entangled, especially with Mason Xiang.
His head felt dizzy, and he pinched the root of his nose, blurting out cold and hurtful words: "I just feel sick staying at your house, and I feel uncomfortable everywhere."
As soon as he finished speaking, the hot wind stopped and the only sound in the mountains was the chirping of cicadas.
Mason Xiang was stunned, and there was a moment of gloom in his eyes, which was quickly covered up by innocence and injury.
Griffin Chu was angry, but Mason Xiang knew that he would never get angry for no reason.
Mason Xiang tried to find an excuse: "Did someone say something at the banquet?"
The Xiang family always pays attention to reputation and appearance when working in the family, but he suddenly married an unknown daughter-in-law and kept the person well hidden, so it was inevitable that people would overestimate her.
"What does your family's affairs have to do with me?" Griffin Chu said impatiently, pacing around a little anxiously.
"That's my problem, right?" Mason Xiang asked in a low voice.
Yes, Griffin Chu suspected that he was suffering from PTSD called Mason Xiang. He would be annoyed when seeing the other person, not only annoying the other person, but also annoying himself.
He hated that he was still so unsatisfied after being reborn, and got angry when he saw certain men and women.
"I don't know why I made you unhappy, but I can apologize to you." Mason Xiang didn't want him to leave, so he suddenly grabbed his wrist and said.
"No, I'm not angry." Griffin Chu struggled, but didn't pull away, "I just want to go home, please let go."
The next second, Mason Xiang's knees softened and he knelt on the ground with a "plop".
He swore that he really didn't mean it, but his legs were so weak that he could only say, "Please don't leave."
"No, what are you doing?" Griffin Chu was really frightened this time. He raised his hands with both hands, but his center of gravity was unstable and he threw Mason Xiang away.
It looked like he was pushing people down on purpose.
"Crack." A white light suddenly appeared in the bushes in the distance, and then quickly went out.
Griffin Chu looked back as if he sensed something, but all he saw was darkness.
"Are you okay?" His instinct was to help him, but Xiang Gou had already gotten up on his own.
Griffin Chu paused on the spot and saw Mason Xiang holding his lower back with one hand, grimacing in pain.
"Are you okay?" His expression remained indifferent, but he felt inexplicably uneasy.
Mason Xiang looked up at him, his eyes filled with tears, looking like he was about to cry.
No, Griffin Chu asked himself that there was no need to be so vigorous.
Mason Xiang's voice was dejected: "It hurts so much, I'm going to break my bones."
"It's not that serious, don't pretend." Griffin Chu said, his voice a little hollow.
"I'm not lying to you! I'm about to die!" Gouzi yelled and simply sat down on the ground like a fool.
"I obey you, young master." Griffin Chu quickly looked back. Fortunately, this place was a little far away from the main gate of the Xiang family. Otherwise, if others saw him, he would not laugh out loud.
He sighed, thinking that he was unlucky, and went up to help the other person, pressing down on Yanxu's flesh and muscles, and almost didn't send him away.
The dignified young master of the Xiang family, a member of a top boy band with tens of millions of fans, a 189cm tall guy, actually acted like a fool...
Mason Xiang, whom I met after my rebirth, seemed even dumber than before.
"You didn't even apologize." Gouzi's voice was muffled, and his breath blew the hair next to Griffin Chu's ears.
Griffin Chu lowered his shoulders and said without sincerity, "Oh, I'm sorry."
Mason Xiang: "I don't accept it. You have to stay tonight before I forgive you."
Oh, it turned out to be waiting for him here.
"Okay, you'd better never forgive me in this life."
Sure enough, Mason Xiang's injury was not that serious at all. It was just a slight scratch on the skin, and there was no blood.
"Help me apply the medicine." Gouzi sat on the sofa holding a cotton swab, looking at Griffin Chu longingly.
Griffin Chu crossed his arms and did not move. He was a little angry and said: "I think your injury... you have to recover for ten days and a half. Otherwise, I will ask Li Li for a leave of absence." Don't miss out on your schedule this month."
Just as he was talking, his cell phone rang. When he lowered his head, he saw that it was a call from his agent.
He shook the screen towards Gouzi, and then the DJ connected.
"Oops! Griffin Chu, something happened!" Brother Li's voice was anxious.
Griffin Chu's eyebrows instantly twisted, he pressed down the restless Mason Xiang with one hand, and then walked to the window, "What's wrong? Speak slowly."
Li Li drank several mouthfuls of water before saying, "You are on the hot search, I will send you the link."
Griffin Chu clicked on the link, and the red headline hit his eyes: #Griffin Chu beat his teammates, suspected of bullying within the team
His brows furrowed, and for no reason he thought of the bushes outside his house.
"It's completely false. I'll go and clarify it." He said to his agent, unplugging the receiver and djvb'ing his finger. The backlog of private messages was already full.
"I really don't understand how trash like you became an idol."
"How disgusting! I have liked you for so many years, but I didn't expect you to be this kind of person."
"I compile rankings and data for you every day, and I fight with Heizi and Du Wei. Are you worthy of me?"
"It's your puppy's birthday today, and you want him to kneel down to you? Being a teammate with someone like you is really bad luck for eight lifetimes."
Griffin Chu blinked and pressed the clear button without emotion.
Li Li on the other end said, "Of course I believe you won't, but I don't know who uploaded the photo this time. It was forwarded tens of thousands of times in one minute, and the PR department couldn't delete it even if they wanted to."
Griffin Chu clicked on the hot search, and there was a series of searches related to him: #Griffin Chu bullied Yan Xu
#8thpower Internal Bullying# Griffin Chu pushed down Mason Xiang# Resolutely resist bullying
He randomly picked one and clicked it, and a set of clear "bullying" photos popped up directly in front of him.
In one of the photos, Griffin Chu kneels on the ground to Yanxu with a cold face, holding his hand with both hands, as if begging for mercy.
Looking at it this way, it is indeed very confusing.
He looked back at Gouzi sitting on the bed. The idiot seemed to be laughing? Griffin Chu suddenly became furious and cursed: "Look at the good things you have done."
"Huh??" Mason Xiang tilted his head, not knowing why.
Brother Li's voice continued: "There is a dinner party at Xiang's house today, and there are many people. Normally, no paparazzi can get in there. They move so fast, and the big V and navy troops also come with great momentum, just waiting to catch you. "The handle."
Griffin Chu took a deep breath and regained his composure: "I seemed to have met a paparazzi in front of Xiang's house."
He lowered his head and looked at his watch. If he remembered correctly, the photo was uploaded only half an hour after it was taken. The dirty water was poured out before Mason Xiang's birthday. The time was tight but it was indeed very effective.
8th power is the group that Griffin Chu belongs to. Its Chinese name is Eight Power. It has been in the industry for eight years and has an unconventional heavy metal and light rock style. It reached the peak as early as the second year of its debut and was hailed as a top-tier group.
There are so many people who can't stand them, and they haven't seen any big storms, but there are still people who like to make trouble.
"I have a way, don't worry, don't mess up." Griffin Chu said before hanging up the phone.
"Mason Xiang."
"Huh?" The dog looked up from the phone screen, his playful expression gone, replaced by a serious look with his brows furrowed.
Very good, it seems that he also knows, saving Griffin Chu the need to repeat himself.
"Don't worry, I'll adjust the monitoring." Mason Xiang stood up and gave Griffin Chu an unpleasant smile.
It's good to have money. There are even several surveillance cameras installed at the door of the house, recording the dispute between the two people from all directions and 360 degrees.
From kneeling down, accidentally pushing him down while helping him up, to someone sitting on the ground to show off, and finally the two of them helped him back to the room.
It was intact, not even a single frame was missed.
The security guards and the person who was causing trouble were watching together with serious expressions. Surprisingly, Griffin Chu was the only one who felt embarrassed.
"Just cut this paragraph off, I want to send it to you in vb." Mason Xiang ordered.
"No need to edit it?" Griffin Chu reminded. He didn't care about embarrassing Mason Xiang, but Mason Xiang was the face of the team after all.
"No, just do it like this." Mason Xiang rubbed his sleeves with his fingertips and raised his lips meaningfully.
The power of money shocked Griffin Chu again. In just a few minutes, the surveillance video had been moved to various platforms, and even the GG position of the social software had been bought.
It can be said to be a tool that is easier to use than any public relations team - Xiang Jia's financial resources.
The trend on the Internet took a direct turn, and the comments inexplicably turned into: "Damn, that's a bit annoying!"
The knock was not just a video, but also a caption to Mason Xiang: "No bullying, I volunteered."
In the comment section, people laughed and laughed: "Why do you feel like you are kneeling on the washboard?"
"Seize the bamboo shoots, such a skillful kneeling posture, the puppy seems to be in love."
"Ah ah ah ah, he is pretending to be pitiful towards Griffin Chu, why are you crying and attacking (no"
"The implication is that I voluntarily knelt down for him and was bullied by him, right? Mason Xiang, go dig wild vegetables."
"After eight years, someone finally discovered my Arctic Circle CP. Welcome to Yannian Gate!!!"
---
The next day, the company's originally planned group recording quietly added a key content - "Brotherhood for a long time is on sale."
In the words of the agent, "Although the matter has been clarified, the ruined popularity with passers-by cannot be restored. Some netizens who are ignorant only eat melons and do not provide after-sales service, so we must save it and change everyone's opinions, and also Stabilize the fans' mood."
Griffin Chu stood under the giant Ferris wheel with a reluctant look on his face: "How to sell it?"
The Tuanzong Production PD coughed twice and said, "Don't be too deliberate. Just show your brotherhood appropriately, such as physical contact, eye contact, etc."
"Hahahahahaha, who brothers are looking at each other?" A boy wearing bright yellow baseball short-sleeves walked towards him, his chestnut brown curly hair illuminated by the sun.
He doesn't look short, at least 177cm or above. When he smiles, two dimples appear on the sides of his mouth, making him look particularly small.
In fact, Ryder Xia is indeed the team's maknae.
As soon as Ryder Xia came up, he took Griffin Chu's arm and nudged his shoulder with his head: "Niannian, you finally got into trouble."
"You're so disrespectful." Captain Pierce Jin pulled Ryder Xia away and nodded to Griffin Chu.
Griffin Chu's disgusted expression was still on his face. He took two steps away from Ryder Xia and instructed the captain: "Jin Qiu, take care of him."
Pierce Jin had a light golden hairdo today. It was extremely cool, but his expression was dumbfounded: "You are neither too big nor too small."
There are 8 people in the team, and he has been the boss for 10 years as a trainee, but he has never heard of him.
Immediately afterwards, members of the addition, subtraction, multiplication and division team entered the venue one after another, and each member who passed by Griffin Chu did not forget to make a few jokes.
"Cool~, brother, you did what I always wanted to do." Leland Qiao patted Griffin Chu on the shoulder and said.
He is the "plus" in the group, the main vocalist on stage, and the "ventriloquist" off stage. He is famous for being shameless.
The music genius "died" Leon Yu and gave Griffin Chu a thumbs up: "Awesome, today you are my big brother."
Griffin Chu rolled his eyes at him: "I am your brother."
The last one to enter was Mason Xiang. The amusement park was so spectacular that this silly dog had to walk around for a while before coming to the gathering. He even wore a satisfied smile when passing through.
"Were you beaten stupid?" Ryder Xia asked quietly in Griffin Chu's ear.
Griffin Chu: "He is stupid."
"Right."
The production PD clapped his hands: "Everyone is here, we are ready to start filming! Let me explain in advance that at the request of the company, we will change this roundup to a live broadcast. It cannot be edited later, so everyone should pay attention to your words and deeds."
"Okay." Everyone responded.
PD said OK, the camera came on, and the group show officially started.
"Hello everyone, we are 8th power!" A neat slogan sounded, and a tacit understanding circulated among everyone, just like it has been since their debut 8 years ago.
The live broadcast room was immediately packed, and before the broadcast even started, there were a lot of gifts.
"Don't buy gifts, please close the channel in the background!" the captain said.
Then, the members introduced themselves one by one.
"Hello everyone, I am Wen Quxing, Archer Wen."
"I am Everett Cao, Cao Wenjian."
The comments all turned into: "Ahhhhhhhhhh, my Shuangwen!"
"Shuangwen Jiefen, please let me beg you."
As several members passed by, the barrage was as exciting and peaceful as ever, until the camera turned to Griffin Chu...
"Didn't he collapse?"
"Please, it was clarified yesterday. And the video that broke the news was taken out of context, but some people still believed it. Who dares to seduce the young master of the Xiang family?"
"New fan, is he the one in his 80s?"
"Your 2G Internet cafe has already clarified it. VB has surveillance video."
"I was fooled by the surveillance video. He is so beautiful, aloof and noble. The Queen is in pain!"
"What's wrong with the queen? He's a prince!"
"You're laughing so hard. I think he has no life of being a prince and is suffering from the disease of a prince."
Several teammates who were watching the barrage on their phones suddenly looked at each other and nodded in unison.
The next second, Ryder Xia suddenly knelt on one knee in front of Griffin Chu, imitating the way he held hands with Yanxu last night, and said affectionately: "Oh, my dear Niannian, you are so handsome and charming, may I ask? Do you accept my proposal?"
Next, Leland Qiao sat down on the ground with a plop, fake crying and shouted: "Oh my God! Someone is openly snatching the object! Is there any justice?"
The veins on Griffin Chu’s forehead were throbbing wildly: Damn, what the hell is this?
