Chapter 1151 Birds of a Feather Flock Together

Who was it that just said that guests shouldn't be served plain boiled water?

And what was the result?

Freya smiled and said, "It's okay. I'm not as delicate as Bradley said. I can drink plain boiled water."

After saying that, she picked up the glass of plain boiled water and drank it.

Boss Xue wiped off a bead of sweat and sat back opposite Bradley. Then he got straight to the point and said, "Today's boxing match was truly an unprecedented and unparalleled spectacle."

First, the Dark Horse announced the news of his marriage, and then the matter of Wuming using a stand-in for boxing was exposed. It was so exciting that it made his scalp tingle.

Of course, it also meant that this match was a failure, and all his investments had gone down the drain.

Tomorrow, the Dark Horse and Wuming would surely dominate the front page of the headlines, and the font would have to be made especially bold.

Bradley leaned back on the sofa, his narrow and cold black eyes slightly narrowed. He gave Boss Xue a cold glance and said, "You're the organizer. You deal with all this mess."

Boss Xue suddenly received this hot potato and was a bit caught off guard. He said, "Come on, Bradley. I don't even know the ins and outs of this matter. How can I deal with it? I'm afraid that if I try to explain it, it will just make things worse and also affect my sister-in-law's reputation."

"If you can't handle it well, it proves that you're not capable enough." Bradley directly poured cold water on him.

Coming here to take refuge was one thing, but getting Boss Xue to clean up the mess was the top priority.

No matter whether he stepped in or Freya explained it herself, they couldn't quell the anger of the audience.

And as the organizer of the whole match, it was most appropriate for Boss Xue to deal with it.

"Of course, I'll ask Yun Xiangcheng to help you. And I don't want to see any words related to Wuming or Chu Tian'er in tomorrow's news." Bradley added.

Boss Xue looked bad. "Bradley, this..."

Before he could speak, Bradley interrupted him coldly. "If you can't do it, I'll reconsider our future cooperation!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Boss Xue immediately changed his tune. "Don't worry. I'll definitely handle it cleanly."

Bradley's expression improved a bit. He lowered his eyes to look at the time on his watch. It was already past four in the afternoon. He turned his head to look at Freya and said gently, "Are you hungry?"

After all this actions, and with the physical exertion on the boxing ring, it was no wonder that the man felt sorry for her and thought she might be hungry.

Boss Xue heard his gentle tone, but Bradley was so cold to him. He felt a pang of jealousy in his heart.

Sure enough, the old saying was right. "A man forgets his friends when he's in love." That was exactly the attitude Bradley had.

But he didn't dare to say it. He could only smile and say, "If my sister-in-law is hungry, I'll ask someone to bring some food in."

"Sure." Bradley didn't stand on ceremony and ordered, "Bring a vegetable and beef sandwich, add some salad and ketchup, and also some milk. And bring a serving of grapes. The vegetables should be organic, the beef should be thickly sliced lean meat, the milk must be sugar-free, and the grapes shouldn't be too sour."

Hearing such a long list of requirements, Boss Xue's mind was spinning rapidly. He really wanted to slap himself. Why was he being so attentive for no reason?

Hadn't he learned his lesson from the orange juice just now?

"Wait, what did you say to add to the sandwich?" Boss Xue asked blankly.

Bradley directly gave him a roll of his eyes, and his disdainful expression was obvious.

Boss Xue felt like crying but had no tears. Communicating with a man with extremely high IQ and EQ was really difficult for an "old man" like him.

Seeing how Bradley was teasing Boss Xue, Freya felt helpless and said, "Boss Xue, don't listen to him. I'm not hungry, and you don't need to prepare anything."

These words were like a life-saving straw for a drowning swimmer. Boss Xue let out a sigh of relief as if he had been saved. "My sister-in-law is so kind. She knows how to respect the elderly and care for the young."

Bradley shot him a sharp and intimidating look and said coldly, "You're not old. You're just forty. You can't be called an old man yet."

Freya looked at the two of them bickering. She had just suspected that there was something shady between them, but now all those thoughts had vanished.

With this way of getting along, they were not even lovers. They could even be considered enemies.

To liven up the atmosphere, Freya took the initiative to find a topic and said, "Boss Xue, you're forty. Why haven't you gotten married yet?"

It wasn't that she was being gossipy. She just really couldn't figure it out. For a man as handsome and wealthy as Boss Xue, even if he didn't want to get married, there couldn't be no women around him, right?

On her way here, in the whole building, except for the two security guards downstairs, she basically didn't see anyone else.

And in this office, there wasn't even an assistant. Boss Xue had to make tea himself.

This made Freya feel that something was unusual.

Boss Xue didn't seem to mind and smiled. "I have the same strange quirk as your husband. I don't like others getting close to me, let alone women. Moreover, after all these years, I've been doing just fine on my own."

Freya narrowed her eyes.

So just at the door, when Bradley mentioned that Yun Xiangcheng had helped Boss Xue with a medical examination, was it for this problem of not being able to get close to women?

So, was that why he needed a sexual orientation test?

Freya looked up at Bradley. Although the people around him were all extremely capable, good-looking, and talented, they were different from ordinary people.

Perhaps, this was what was meant by "birds of a feather flock together"?

Just as she was thinking, Boss Xue's voice came to her ears again. "By the way, I have something I don't understand. Why did my sister-in-law box for someone else?"

With Bradley's strength, what couldn't Freya have?

Power, status, identity, and wealth were all just a matter of her saying a word.

But she was actually willing to hide behind the scenes and work hard for someone else. This was something that Boss Xue couldn't figure out.

Freya felt that there was nothing to hide now, so she said straightforwardly, "She's not just anyone. She's the person who saved my life. Without her, there wouldn't be the Freya of today."

Hearing this, Boss Xue understood.

So it was because of the life-saving grace that she had agreed to box as a favor to repay the kindness.

At this moment, Boss Xue thought more highly of Freya.

No wonder she was Bradley's woman. With such a kind heart, she was indeed worthy of admiration.

"Of course, Chu Tian'er is not only the person who saved my life but also my friend. I hope Boss Xue can do something to help her. Don't let public opinion crush her proud back and make her hide in the dark and be afraid to show her face."

Freya knew Chu Tian'er well. On the surface, she seemed carefree and as happy as a lark, but deep down, she was more sensitive and fragile than anyone else.

From the loss of her family members one by one to the injury of her right hand, which completely prevented her from boxing anymore, she had endured so much suffering.

The reason Freya helped Chu Tian'er was that she and Chu Tian'er were the same kind of people. She didn't want to see anyone else as miserable as herself, and she especially didn't want fate to ruin a girl with dreams.

So no matter what, she had to help Chu Tian'er get through this difficult time.
