On this evening, Shen Sufeng had a gathering with friends at a high-end restaurant by Xiangyue Lake in the outskirts.

He has many business dealings and a wide circle of friends. He is not a person who casually befriends others, but once he becomes friends with someone, they will surely visit each other frequently. Therefore, it is normal for them to often gather for meals and dine together.

He came out to see off a friend around eight o'clock and happened to run into Qin You'an, who was dressed in a suit and tie, in the corridor. They stopped and exchanged a few pleasantries.

When they were discussing marriage at the front, the two of them had met a few times and had a good impression of each other. Especially Qin You'an, who harbored the intention of pursuing the younger brother of the other party, would inevitably be polite in his words when facing his elder brother-in-law. Therefore, originally it was just a few greetings, but as they talked, they walked to the garden by the lake downstairs and spoke a few more words.

Naturally, 90% of their conversations revolved around Shen Suyun, the person closest to their hearts.

Officialdom has always had a haughty disposition, and since he didn't perform well in the university entrance exam, he already harbored a sense of dissatisfaction in his heart. But when my father provoked him like that, his stubborn temper flared up, and then... Shensu Feng didn't continue speaking, but chuckled helplessly and said, "I have made your family a laughingstock."

Qin You'an, however, said, "He has his own ideals and is willing to work hard. In fact, he is already more outstanding than many wealthy second-generation officials."

Shen Sufeng, although aware that his words were overly flattering, still chuckled and humbly replied, "Oh, not at all."

The cold wind blew in gusts by the lakeside on a winter day. The glistening waves reflected the crescent moon in the sky and a stone bridge. The yellow lights and moonlight shone upon the dark blue night and the lake, creating a hazy and blurry scene, reminiscent of an impressionist oil painting.

Qin You'an looked at Shen Sufeng and asked, "I heard both Auntie and you calling him 'Guanguan'. Is 'Guanguan' his nickname?"

Shen Sufeng explained the origin of this nickname to him and said, "My grandfather truly liked him. Even at his last moments, he insisted on waiting for him to arrive before closing his eyes..." As she spoke, she chuckled to herself, "Guan Guan was especially adorable when he was little. No wonder my grandfather favored him."

When Xiaoding was little, his skin was as fair as milk, and his eyes were big and black. He could spend half the day talking to a small stray cat. After finishing his story, he said to his father, "Dad, I will wash the paint palette for you, and you give me some money. I want to take care of it myself." His father replied, "Why wash the paint palette? Come and learn how to paint with me. After we finish, I'll help you sell your artwork and establish a charity foundation for stray cats and dogs. It can support many of them." The little guy didn't even understand the concepts of charity and foundation, but he went to learn painting foolishly for the sake of the stray cat.

The foundation is still running up to now, and Shen Suyun is still the chairman.

Qin You'an listened to him talk about a few interesting anecdotes from Shen Suyun's childhood, and couldn't help but think of a scene where a lovely baby immersed themselves in studying painting - it must have been a delightful sight. It's a pity that I didn't have the chance to meet him earlier.

"Ah, it's not possible now, not so easily fooled." The elder brother looked a bit troubled, stopped in his tracks under the streetlight, rubbed his cold hands, and calmly said to Qin You'an, who was in a sharp suit and unfazed by the cold wind, "A few days ago, my company invested in Zhuang Huayan's drama and wanted him to audition for the male lead role. I didn't directly ask him, just wanted him to give it a try, but this little guy refused after saying a few words upon hearing that it was my investment."

Qin You'an raised his eyebrows slightly, but did not say anything.

When he first entered the entertainment industry, I tried various ways to get him to act in our company's dramas, but he refused. This time, it seems that Zhuang Huiyan has genuinely taken a liking to him and wants him to give it a try. I'm just playing the role of a middleman and facilitator. Although we are the biggest investor, I don't really have any personal connection with him, do I?

Shen Sufeng also complained in front of Qin You'an. After all, he knew that his younger brother and the person in front of him, although "married", probably weren't as familiar as he was with him, so he didn't expect him to be of much help.

"You see him, he has been in the entertainment industry for a year, but there haven't been any ripples. If he continues like this, it will be wasted. Although his acting skills are not particularly impressive, he is still better than those 'influencer types,' and he has a decent appearance. Don't you think?"

"Mmm." Qin You'an suddenly spoke up.

Shen Sufeng was taken aback for a moment. He was simply making a comment and didn't expect Qin You'an to engage in a serious discussion with him. After all, he had a big company to worry about and plenty of things to deal with. Who would have thought that Qin You'an would suddenly speak up? Now, Shen Sufeng didn't know what to say.

Qin You'an turned towards him and said, "Why don't I give it a try instead?"

"Ah?"

"I'll go talk to him." Qin You'guan had already made up his mind. Not only was he helping Shen Sufeng to improve his impression in front of Shen Suyun, but he was also seizing the opportunity to meet and talk with Shen Suyun.

"Okay then, I'll leave it to you." Shen Suyun said with a smile.

I didn't take it seriously in my heart. I thought, if even my own brother was rejected, can you, this "fake husband" who is barely even related, make it?

The two exchanged a few more pleasantries before bidding farewell to each other.

Shen Sufeng's gathering was already over, so he planned to go to the parking lot to retrieve his car. After taking a few steps, he noticed two men arguing under the trees not far from the parking lot. One of the tall men, wearing a white shirt and black trousers, had his back facing Shen Sufeng. He was cursing with particularly offensive language.

"Lan Zhou! Don't act shamelessly! I already gave you the breakup fee, what else do you want? Aren't you just a prostitute who can be bought with money? If you continue to pester me, I'll make sure you won't be able to leave unscathed!"

The man who was being scolded is not very old, around twenty-four or twenty-five years old. His face is pointed, and he is quite handsome to the point of being excessive. His skin glows brightly under the streetlight, almost blinding. He has a look that seems like he's about to cry but refuses to show any weakness, stubbornly saying:

"You're being too conceited. Who's bothering you? Don't get it twisted, it's me who's sleeping with you and playing with you, not the other way around! I have plenty of men to choose from! While I was dating you, I slept with a wealthy heir who owns several mines. He even gave me a private yacht. Do you think I care about you?"

Shen Sufeng, who was standing not far away, almost burst out laughing.

"Lanzhou, how dare you betray me and make me wear the green hat! I'll kill you!" The tall man, filled with anger and shame, started to throw punches. Lanzhou, a slim and delicate-looking young man, was clearly no match for him. Shen Sufeng thought to himself that since no one would see, he might as well lend a hand and help out.

So she stepped forward and grabbed the man's hand, coldly and angrily saying, "Stop!"

The two people involved in the fight were both stunned.

"Who are you!" The tall man interrogated, clearly displeased.

Lan Zhou also looked puzzled.

Shen Sufeng smirked and said, "I am the second-generation rich kid from a family that owns several mines and even gifted him a private yacht."

A deathly silence.

Lan Zhou's eyes widened, almost popping out of their sockets.

Shen Sufeng felt that this person was overly adorable.

The tall man was successfully provoked with anger - Fine, give me a cuckold hat, still daring to come in front of me, watch as I don't beat you to death!

Shen Sufeng learned Wing Chun from his grandfather since he was little, and later on, he also studied Taekwondo in college.

Hmm, beating people not only requires no effort, but also looks cool.

"You, all of you, just you wait!" The ending was as cliché as a romance novel, without any originality - the tall man was beaten up badly, leaving behind a threatening remark before hastily fleeing.

Shen Sufeng, having achieved success, retired gracefully, but not before leaving a piece of advice for this unfortunate gentleman who had been deceived in matters of the heart: "Next time you fall in love, make sure to see clearly, don't go searching for a boyfriend in the trash heap."

Lanzhou stood there blankly for a while. As the cold lake breeze blew, tears smeared across his face. Ahhh, the dreamy man finally stepped out of his dream!
