The Crematorium’s Scum Gong Gets to Clock Off After Being Replaced 99

Chapter 99: AE23

“We’re here,” Jin Chenhan stopped at the entrance of the banquet hall and reminded the distracted Gu Xiu.

He thought Gu Xiu was worried and nervous, so he smiled again. “Although I really want to tell you not to worry, they are indeed not the type to be trifled with… just be yourself.”

Hearing this, Gu Xiu’s heart leaped to his throat. “Then… should I… should I look at their photos first? To understand their preferences…”

“No need to be so troublesome,” Jin Chenhan said faintly. “They’re just a little…”

Overly enthusiastic.

“Jin—Chen—Han!”

Before Jin Chenhan could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by a high and clear female voice from the banquet hall. The two of them looked over at the same time and saw a young girl with a bun hairstyle lifting her skirt and running over quickly. She was dressed like a lady, but she moved like an Alpha.

“My sister, Jin Feiyuan,” Jin Chenhan introduced. “She’s a Beta, but some Alphas in school can’t beat her.”

At the same time, Gu Xiu quickly called for off-site rescue: 【007! Is this person in the novel?】

But 007 was in a stuck state: 【This… this… this is!】

As a system, he seemed to be breathing rapidly like a human.

“Jin Chenhan!” But Jin Feiyuan did not notice the strange Gu Xiu and shouted at Jin Chenhan again.

“Call me big brother,” Jin Chenhan’s cold eyes drooped slightly. “And, say hello.”

Jin Feiyuan clicked her tongue, turned to look at Gu Xiu, and then her eyes lit up with a stunning light, with a hint of confusion. She had a straightforward personality and asked directly, “Are you an Omega? But you’re so tall.”

If it were a normal Alpha, he would have been so angry that he would have been smoking.

“No,” but Gu Xiu just shook his head gently. “I’m an Alpha.”

“Ah… Alpha… that’s even better!” Jin Feiyuan’s eyes were even brighter, and her smile was brilliant. “By the way, my name is Jin Feiyuan, the ‘yuan’ from ‘yuanfen’. But everyone calls me Yuanyuan, the ‘yuan’ from ‘tuanyuan’. What’s your name? It’s the first time my brother has brought a partner to a banquet…”

Gu Xiu truthfully reported his family name. “My name is Gu Xiu. I’m Mr. Jin’s secretary.”

Jin Chenhan had told him to be himself, so he would do as he pleased. But he didn’t expect that Jin Feiyuan could also misunderstand wishfully and accurately interpret Jin Chenhan’s intention of being a cover.

The bright and beautiful young girl squinted her eyes and dragged out her voice meaningfully, “Oh～ just a secretary?”

Jin Chenhan timely reprimanded, “No manners.”

“Tch～” Jin Feiyuan mumbled in disdain and turned around. “I’m going to find Mom!”

It was clear that she was in a hurry to tattle.

But Gu Xiu did not know the action logic of the young girl he had just met for the first time. On the contrary, he let out a big sigh of relief because of her departure.

Only then did Jin Chenhan greet Gu Xiu, raised his hand, and gently touched his back. “Let’s go in.”

Just as a crisis was resolved, 007 in his mind suddenly became restless for some reason. Without any cause or effect, it said excitedly, 【Jiujiu, Jiujiu, I’m going out for a bit!!】

Immediately, a white light shot out from his forehead, bounced a few times in the crowd, and went straight to the bathroom.

Gu Xiu called out, 【…007?】

The last time he had felt this kind of disconnection was probably during his first heat. 007 had unexpectedly turned into a human and had brought him an inhibitor.

Gu Xiu stretched his neck and looked in the direction 007 had gone.

Before long, he saw a gray-eyed young man stumble out, his face full of anxiety as he searched for something in the venue.

Jin Chenhan was busy socializing, but he did not neglect to take care of Gu Xiu. He suddenly turned and asked him, “What’s wrong?”

Gu Xiu quickly composed himself. “Ah, it’s nothing.”

Jin Chenhan did not pursue the matter, but he suddenly lowered his head and leaned close to his ear, so scared that he went numb. He said in a whisper, “My mother is here.”

“What…” Gu Xiu was shocked. He looked up and saw a few ladies chatting and laughing not far away. His gaze directly locked on the curly-haired woman in the center, and he couldn’t help but be stunned. “Huh?”

Jin Chenhan lowered his voice, accurately pointed out his mother’s direction, and introduced to Gu Xiu, “That’s my mother, Lu Qingwu. She and my father are both Alphas. They had to work through their gender issues for a long time… but now that their work has slowed down, their relationship has improved a lot, and they’re in a hurry to get me married.”

Gu Xiu, on the contrary, was even more stunned.

Jin Chenhan asked tentatively, “…What, is a marriage between an Alpha and an Alpha strange?”

“No, no,” but Gu Xiu shook his head, his gaze always on Lu Qingwu, until he was discovered by the other. He turned his head and saw his elusive son. He immediately strode over, with an air of demanding an explanation.

Tonight, she had to drag the suicidal Enigma to a blind date… Her goal was clear, and her eyes were firm, but she unexpectedly heard a “Auntie!”

“Hey?”

Lu Qingwu’s footsteps made a sharp turn, and only then did she look at the strange young man beside her son.

Gu Xiu, in his working state, was wearing silver-rimmed glasses, very gentle, tall and handsome, as gentle as jade.

His dazed gaze also carried a hint of a pleasing, pure youthful air. He had reflexively called out to her, and then he had reacted, and had become awkward, lowering his slightly flushed face. “I’m sorry…”

Jin Chenhan quickly patted his back and smiled with satisfaction. “You should call her auntie. That’s right.”

“You…” Lu Qingwu pointed at her son in a daze, and then at Gu Xiu. “You are…”

Gu Xiu woke up as if from a dream. “I’m Mr. Jin’s…”

His hand was suddenly held. Gu Xiu almost bit his tongue. He turned to look at Jin Chenhan, a faint smile on his lips, and everything was said without words.

“Ah…” Lu Qingwu let out a long breath and slowly moved to Gu Xiu’s side. He didn’t know what kind of thought process he had gone through. She suddenly showed a kind smile and said enthusiastically, “I’m Chenhan’s mother, Lu Qingwu. You can just call me auntie. It’s fine to call me mom too.”

“Hiss.” Gu Xiu really bit his tongue this time.

“Although Gu Xiu is an Alpha, he’s a bit shy,” Jin Chenhan held his hand and said goodbye to his mother. “Then I’ll take him over there. You guys don’t bother him.”

But Lu Qingwu seemed not to have heard. Her eyes were glued to Gu Xiu’s face, a little incredible, and also a little happy. The corners of her lips rose little by little, and she couldn’t suppress it.

When the two had disappeared from her sight, she hurriedly turned around and looked around, eager to spread this shocking good news. “Oh my, Yuanyuan, where did that child run off to…”

After they had gone far, Jin Chenhan suddenly asked again, “What’s wrong? Have you met my mother before?”

Gu Xiu was stunned for a moment. His calm mind was like it had been stirred by a fishhook, but when he reeled it in, it was empty, with nothing.

So he shook his head in a daze and only said, “Mmm, she’s very kind.”

But Jin Chenhan couldn’t help but laugh. “You haven’t seen her at work… but it’s rare for people to say that about her, except for those who flatter her. Someone like you… is indeed the type that she would genuinely like.”

The last sentence was a pun. “Birds of a feather flock together.”

The mother and son’s relationship was plain, but their blood was the same, and their tastes were similar. Gu Xiu and Lu Qingwu got along well. In the future, when they were together, they wouldn’t have to worry about trivial family matters…

Jin Chenhan’s thoughts drifted away.

Gu Xiu, on the other hand, was looking for 007 whenever he had a chance. He didn’t find the system’s shadow, but instead, he was met with another unfamiliar face.

The other party greeted him enthusiastically as soon as he came. “Gu Xiu, long time no see. It really is you! How’s auntie?”

007 was not there, so Gu Xiu had to distinguish this strange character by himself. He thought for a moment. Auntie, he should be talking about Mother Gu. Then this person might be his distant Omega cousin, Yan Xi. He was a character in the novel, a cannon fodder villain.

All the villains in the novel came from the Gu family, which was also a convenience.

“Gu Xiu?” Seeing that Gu Xiu didn’t answer for a long time, Yan Xi was still smiling and took the initiative to introduce himself. “I’m Yan Xi. Don’t you remember me? Last time I heard auntie talk about you, you had just started your internship at A79 Group… how is it? Is it easy to get by in a big company?”

Jin Chenhan directly intercepted this topic and replied for Gu Xiu, “Gu Xiu is my secretary now. This job is indeed not easy. Only he in the entire company is competent.”

Yan Xi was stunned for a moment, and only then did he look at the exceptionally handsome man beside Gu Xiu. Unlike the gentle Gu Xiu, this person looked like an extremely powerful Alpha!

From his dress, his status was also rich and noble. He also looked like he had been seen in a magazine. He had just said… Gu Xiu was his secretary?

“Ah…” Yan Xi’s mouth was wide open. He was shocked for a few seconds, his face changed drastically, and he said in awe, “Mr. Jin! Hello, I often hear people talk about you…”

“What do they say about me?” Jin Chenhan said with a half-smile. “For example, that I’ve long reached the age of marriage, but there isn’t a single suitable little O around me?”

Of course, Yan Xi’s words were just to get close. Who knew that a busy person like Jin Chenhan would not only take this sentence to heart, but would also catch a loophole and turn the tables on him…

He was so embarrassed that he laughed awkwardly and changed the subject. “Of course not… they all say that you… are very bold and have a lot of means in your work.”

Jin Chenhan said faintly, “Huh? What means? Tell me.”

Yan Xi’s face turned green.

But Gu Xiu didn’t pay much attention to their confrontation. He had finally found 007! 007 was a fool, wearing out-of-place casual clothes, not only running around everywhere, but also going to hit on Jin Feiyuan!

Gu Xiu quickly said, “Mr. Jin, I’m going to the bathroom!”

With that, he ran.

Leaving Jin Chenhan stunned on the spot.

“Mr. Jin?” Yan Xi glanced at the departing Gu Xiu, and a joy rose in his heart. He seized this opportunity and continued, “Mr. Jin, your means in business negotiations, everyone says they’re very…”

Pfft!

His vision blurred, and a spray of cool little water droplets hit his face.

He wiped his face and said in disbelief, “Mr. Jin?”

“Your pheromones are like spoiled fruit,” Jin Chenhan said coldly, and disgustedly threw out the inhibitor spray he had just used once. “It’s yours. Next time you go out, instead of spraying perfume to make things worse, you might as well spray some inhibitor spray.”

Yan Xi: “…”

On the other side, 007 had just started talking to Jin Feiyuan.

Not only was Jin Feiyuan not scared by this strange young man, but she also sized him up and down, and instead asked him with great interest, “Are you having a pajama party nearby?”

Hearing this, 007 only then looked at his own clothes. This set of human skin clothes was still the one that Gu Xiu had prepared for him when he first came out, a youthful hoodie and casual pants.

But in such a formal banquet setting, it did indeed look like pajamas.

007 scratched his hair. His heart was filled with both the surprise of a long-awaited reunion with the girl he had fallen in love with at first sight in the last world, and also awkwardness and shyness. For a moment, his face and ears were red, and he stammered for a long time without being able to say a complete sentence.

Jin Feiyuan, on the other hand, patiently kept asking him, but he couldn’t say. His strange attire and stammering also attracted the attention of the nearby security guards, who swarmed up and asked for his name, origin, and for him to show his invitation.

Of course, 007 couldn’t answer a single question.

The security guard reminded Jin Feiyuan, “Miss Jin, be careful. We don’t know where this person came from…”

Jin Feiyuan smiled nonchalantly. “It’s fine… but what’s your name? Did you know me before?”

“I… hey, forget it!”

Being surrounded by bodyguards and being treated as a suspicious person, 007 was a mix of shame and anger. He stomped his foot and ran.

Gu Xiu had just come looking for him and could only continue to chase after him.

The two of them chased each other, went down the outdoor stairs, and ran for a distance in the corridor downstairs, out of the security guards’ sight. Gu Xiu stretched out his long arm, grabbed 007’s clothes, and dragged him into the bathroom.

“Oh my, oh my!” 007 skillfully raised his hands to cover his head. “Don’t hit me, don’t hit me…”

Gu Xiu took a deep breath and barely held back his angry fist. But he still couldn’t swallow this breath and gently kicked 007 a few times with his knee.

“Oh my, oh my…” 007 made a fuss and deliberately pretended to be pitiful after being beaten. “My skin is very expensive! Don’t hit me, don’t hit me!”

Gu Xiu grabbed his collar, and with his Alpha’s physical advantage, he directly lifted him up, and in 007’s shocked gaze, he dragged him into a cubicle and warned in a low voice, “Behave yourself. Don’t make a sound.”

007 zipped his mouth and nodded obediently.

Gu Xiu calmed his annoyance and said, “You’re really messing around… first, tell me, what happened just now? Why did you suddenly run out to find Mr. Jin’s sister?”

“I…” 007 stammered. “She, she looks like, a person from the last world, and she’s also the protagonist gong’s sister…”

Gu Xiu frowned. “How is that possible? How can different small worlds generate characters with the same appearance?”

Because of this unexpected interlude, for the first time, he seriously and carefully thought about the recent various incongruities, his brow furrowing tighter and tighter. “The last world… we went together, right? How come I…”

007 took over the conversation. “Don’t you remember!”

Gu Xiu was stunned.

But before he could ask, 007 suddenly covered his head in pain. “No, I’ve triggered an alarm. I can’t say anymore…”

That was all he said, but it was enough for Gu Xiu to ponder.

He temporarily put aside the unanswered questions and continued to question 007 about the trouble he had just caused.

“You ran out, and you didn’t even look at what kind of occasion this is. If you were caught by the security guards as a suspicious person, I would be the one in trouble,” Gu Xiu poked 007’s chest and said word by word. “I was just afraid that something would happen to you, so I came to chase you. Mr. Jin also saw it. Now we have to make up a story and think of how to explain.”

“I look like the protagonist gong. He won’t make things difficult for me,” 007 pointed to his gray eyes. “I can say that I’m the child of a leopard and a cat…”

“Bullshit,” Gu Xiu said angrily. “How can he have a son as old as you? And isn’t your Jinjiang’s protagonist gong supposed to be a man of virtue? He’s never slept with anyone else.”

007 nodded with a complicated expression. “That’s true.”

Gu Xiu continued to instruct, “When the time comes, you can just say that you’re my distant grandnephew. I didn’t know how you suddenly came here, so I was worried and chased after you.”

“Ah…” 007 blinked. “How did I get demoted!”

Gu Xiu pointed at his nose. “You just said you wanted to be Mr. Jin’s son.”

“It’s clearly the child of a leopard and a cat…” Seeing that the amnesiac host was impervious to both hard and soft tactics, 007 lowered his head and tactfully compromised. “Alright.”

After he had been tamed, Gu Xiu’s expression relaxed, and he changed the subject and asked him, “Did you fall in love with Mr. Jin’s sister at first sight? But you’re a human and a system, so you should give up early.”

007 came back with a retort. “Although that’s the case… I still have two days!”

Gu Xiu saw that a system that was impersonating a human was actually on the verge of tears. He couldn’t help but click his tongue and said stiffly, “If you want to get close to Mr. Jin’s sister, you have to go through me.”

007 stared at him eagerly.

Gu Xiu said, “Behave yourself. I’ll take you back to say hello to Mr. Jin first, and then I’ll ask his sister if she’s willing to be a kindergarten teacher for two days and help me look after my grandnephew while I’m at work with him.”

007’s eyes lit up, and he couldn’t help but grab Gu Xiu’s sleeve with both hands.

Gu Xiu pushed the stupid system away. 007 was not angry, but his eyes were even redder. He sniffled and said again, “Then when I’m not here, can you finish ‘Key Plot Point 11’ by yourself, Jiujiu? You just need to get another 10% completion rate on the protagonist gong’s side! I think as long as you have another borderline sexual act…”

007 was suddenly covered by his mouth. Gu Xiu glared at him with a flushed face. “You’ve become a human. Can’t you have a little human shame…”

007 shut up.

Gu Xiu’s phone rang. He poked 007 a few more times to make him behave, and only then did he answer.

This number had no note, but the voice that came out was somewhat familiar. “Gu Xiu, where did you go??”

Gu Xiu asked in confusion, “Who are you?”

The other side was silent for a moment, as if he were a little angry and embarrassed. “I’m Yan Xi! You’re asking me? I should be asking you… you’re Mr. Jin’s secretary. How can you leave the scene without permission and leave him alone here?”

A punching bag that came to his door, it would be a waste not to use it. Gu Xiu said, “None of your business.”

Yan Xi was choked. “…”

Realizing that Gu Xiu was not falling for it at all, and that he was the only one who was angry, the tea-like Yan Xi changed his attitude and said again, “By the way, the outside world all says that Mr. Jin is particularly strict. But I feel that he’s very considerate. He gave me a gift as soon as we met.”

As Yan Xi spoke, he hid the bottle of inhibitor spray in his pocket.

Although this “gift” was a little embarrassing, the Gu Xiu on the other end of the phone couldn’t see it!

He wanted to show off a few more sentences, but a busy tone came from the other end of the phone.

Gu Xiu hung up the phone.

007 had heard the whole process and quickly reviewed the plot points he might have missed at the banquet just now. First was the non-existent but very familiar Lu Qingwu, and then was Gu Xiu’s fake-smiling Yan Xi…

“Hey? Why did Yan Xi appear early? Is he with the protagonist gong? He should be the villain of the next plot point…” 007 murmured to himself. “According to the plot, he will drug the protagonist gong in an attempt to become the president’s wife of the diamond bachelor protagonist gong in one step!”

Gu Xiu’s just-relaxed brow furrowed again, and his voice rose. “What?”

“The protagonist gong is an Enigma. Don’t worry. The aphrodisiac for Alphas did indeed make him go into heat, but he did not lose his rationality and bite anyone he saw. On the contrary, he was crazy in his rationality! He directly threw the disheveled Yan Xi out, completely disgracing the O’s, and made everyone laugh!” 007 said excitedly. “This accident also made the protagonist shou firm in his feelings. He overcame his fear, took the initiative to walk towards the protagonist gong, and successfully got through this heat period through a temporary mark…”

The previous plot had already been completed in a messy and jumping manner. Who knew if the following plot would also be jumbled together!

One of the key characters, Yan Xi, was already present, but the protagonist shou was thousands of miles away. It just so happened that there was also an uncompleted home run plot…

Gu Xiu’s heart skipped a beat. “You didn’t say so earlier!”

With that, he threw 007 and rushed out of the bathroom, his steps like the wind, straight to the venue.

“Hey… why are you in such a hurry, Jiujiu? You can also complete the plot if the protagonist gong sleeps with someone else…” 007 chased after him for a few steps and mumbled righteously, “Although you don’t remember… hmph, but I knew it!”

On his way back, Gu Xiu was once again approached by Yan Xi.

After Gu Xiu had left, Jin Chenhan had been indifferent to him. He had tried everything and said, “I just saw Gu Xiu, but he’s chatting and drinking with someone else. He’s too busy to leave…”

This time, Jin Chenhan finally looked over.

Yan Xi made up a lie. “But he’s still considerate. He was worried that you were thirsty, Mr. Jin, so he specially asked me to bring you this glass of wine.”

Jin Chenhan raised an eyebrow. “You said Gu Xiu is drinking with someone else?”

Yan Xi wantonly threw dirty water. “That’s right. He probably goes out to socialize often, right? He’s quite used to this kind of occasion, unlike me…”

The distant cousin described in Yan Xi’s words was completely different from his beloved secretary.

Not long ago, Gu Xiu had told him in person that he couldn’t drink.

Jin Chenhan was so speechless that he laughed. “You might as well say that he can’t drink, so he wants me to drink this glass for him.”

But Yan Xi was encouraged by this smile and jumped into the pit. “He seems to have meant that…”

Jin Chenhan’s heart moved, and he had an idea.

He didn’t say anything. In Yan Xi’s overjoyed gaze, he took the glass of wine that clearly had an improper origin.
