Chapter 752: Crus.h.i.+ng His Love Rival in All Aspects
“Sure.”
Zhuang Long tilted his head and looked at the lake. He narrowed his eyes and seemed to be thinking about something.
When it was almost dark, Zhuang Long and Jimmy returned home.
When they arrived at Jimmy’s house, Zhuang Long watched Jimmy get out of the car. He suddenly asked Uncle Jimmy, “Uncle Jimmy, can I write the story you told me and post it on my blog?” Seeing that Jimmy was in a daze, he said, “Don’t worry, I’ll write Uncle Jimmy’s name on the back of the story.”
Jimmy smiled with his eyes and said, “Sure.”
When he got home, Zhuang Long ate dinner, took a shower, and went to the laboratory for a few hours. When he returned to his room, it was already past two in the morning. He was not sleepy yet. After thinking about it, he went to the study, turned on the computer, opened a doc.u.ment, and planned what to write in his mind. Finally, he typed quickly on the keyboard.
After he polished the crime story, it looked interesting and lively, but it also made one’s back turn cold.
Zhuang Long checked it and felt that it was quite well written, so he clicked upload.
When he was done, he looked up and saw that the sky was bright. He quickly turned off his computer and went downstairs to eat breakfast. After not sleeping for the entire night, he seemed a little excited. Zhuang Long had just recovered from his cold, so he did not dare to court death. After dinner, he went to sleep.
He slept until three in the afternoon. When he woke up, he ate lunch and called Xiao Li.

Xiao Li stared at her phone and hesitated for a long time.
The phone rang many times. When it rang for the third time and was about to end, Xiao Li picked up the phone and answered the call.
“What are you doing?”
Zhuang Long choked at Xiao Li’s cold tone.
He said in a deep voice, “Why are you sounding so rash?”
Xiao Li was stunned for a moment before saying, “What’s the matter?” Xiao Li’s tone softened a little.
Zhuang Long was satisfied.
He asked Xiao Li, “Are you free tonight?”
Xiao Li rejected him without thinking. “I’m not free.”
“What about tomorrow night?”
Xiao Li wanted to say no, but Zhuang Long rarely asked her for her time so seriously. Worried that he had something serious to say, Xiao Li swallowed the rejection that was on the tip of her tongue. She asked, “What’s the matter?”
“Yes.”
“Business?”
Zhuang Long’s face darkened.
Can’t we meet if there’s nothing important?
It seemed like they really could not…
Zhuang Long collapsed on the bed like a deflated ball. He said gloomily, “I want to treat you… to a meal.”
This was very interesting.
Xiao Li probed further and asked him, “Who are you referring to? Qilin and I?”
Zhuang Long gritted his teeth and said, “And Bruce.”
Xiao Li fell silent.
She actually did not reject him. Zhuang Long waited for her answer, but there was nothing he could do.
Xiao Li finally relented. The words she said almost angered Zhuang Long to death. She said, “We can eat together, but you have to promise me in advance not to play any tricks on him. He’s a decent person.”
Zhuang Long was speechless.
He accused Xiao Li in a gloomy tone, “Am I not a decent person?”
Xiao Li hung up.
Zhuang Long wanted to curse.
His phone rang. He saw that it was a message from Xiao Li asking for the dining address.
As he cursed, he self-abusedly typed down the address of the gathering. After replying to the message, Zhuang Long did a zombie walk on the bed. After lying down for a few seconds, he suddenly stood up. Zhuang Long went straight to the cloakroom and searched for a long time before he came up with a set of clothes that he thought were handsome and extraordinary. It could definitely crush Bruce in terms of aura, temperament, and appearance.
Zhuang Long sat in the living room and stared at the clock on the wall.
When the time was 4pm, he suddenly got up and went back to his room to change.
Facing the mirror, Zhuang Long grabbed his hair. In the end, he grabbed a hairstyle that he thought was unrestrained and handsome. He also wore a luxurious and expensive watch. Then, he took his car keys and went out arrogantly.
Zhuang Long arrived at the entrance of the restaurant and had just parked the car. The moment he got out of the car, he saw Zhuang Qilin. Zhuang Qilin was sitting on a chair outside the restaurant with a square green toy in his hand. Zhuang Long leaned close to take a look and realized that the toy in Zhuang Qilin’s hand was like a maze.
Under Zhuang Qilin’s control, a small round bead turned around along the runway of the maze. Once the bead fell into the hole, it would be considered a failure. He successfully pa.s.sed the first, second, third, fourth, fifth… In the end, he failed as the sixth bead fell into the small hole.
Zhuang Long stood behind him and said faintly, “If I were you, I would definitely pa.s.s.”
Zhuang Qilin was shocked by Zhuang Long’s sudden voice.
He snorted and threw the little thing to Zhuang Long. “Try it.”
Zhuang Long took out a domineering look and shook the bead out. He started from the first side. On the first try, he successfully pa.s.sed. On the second try, he was about to succeed when he still fell into the hole.
Zhuang Long stared at the toy without saying anything.
Zhuang Qilin gave him a mocking laugh.
“What happened to pa.s.sing everything?”
Zhuang Long felt embarra.s.sed. He shook the toy and said, “Confiscated.”
Zhuang Qilin nodded in agreement.
The father and son took the elevator upstairs. There were only the two of them in the elevator. Zhuang Long looked at himself in the mirror and asked Zhuang Qilin, “Is your father handsome today?”
“He’s so handsome.”
Zhuang Long felt that Zhuang Qilin’s words were rough but reasonable. He liked to hear them.
He asked again, “Compared to your Uncle Bruce?”
Zhuang Qilin hesitated.
Zhuang Long was immediately upset. He said awkwardly, “Why? Is he better looking than me?”
Zhuang Qilin said softly, “This is what you’re saying…”
Zhuang Long almost died of anger.
After leaving the elevator, he strode forward. Zhuang Qilin followed behind him with his short legs, feeling especially wronged. He was embarra.s.sed to hurt his father’s pride and even pretended to be mute. His father was the one who said it, but he blamed him.
Zhuang Qilin decided not to talk to his father for half an hour.
Zhuang Long saw Bruce from afar.
Bruce was wearing a coffee-colored silk s.h.i.+rt today. He wore a pure white suit with only one b.u.t.ton b.u.t.toned. Recently, he had grown a little beard, making him look even more s.e.xy, mature, and elegant. Angus was called the most precious pearl by the media, and his face was publicly thought to be the most flawless exquisite face. Bruce was called the most dazzling North Star, and he was chosen every year as the most well-dressed male star.
Of course, every time he appeared, he did it exquisitely and flawlessly. He even lived alone and had fas.h.i.+onable taste.
Zhuang Long stopped in his tracks when he saw him.
He lowered his head and glanced at his clothes. After confirming that there was no problem, he walked forward.
Xiao Li, who was talking to Bruce, suddenly heard Bruce say softly, “He’s here.”
Xiao Li was wearing a short white dress tonight with her golden curly hair draped over her shoulders. Upon hearing this, she turned her head slightly.
