Chapter 414 I Know What's Going On

Shen Yao had heard about this dinner from Shen's mother.

It was used by the Fu and Shen families to discuss their marriage.

Fu Qingyan is thirty years old this year, and Shen Nanzhi is already twenty-seven or twenty-eight. If they don't discuss it now, it will be a little late.

Even though Shen Nanzhi did not have the identity of the eldest daughter of the Shen family, the Fu family still recognized Shen Nanzhi as their daughter-in-law.

Their families don't have such a deep understanding of the match, as long as Fu Qingyan likes her and has no criminal record, they will accept her.

Shen Nanzhi and Fu Qingyan are simply a match made in heaven.

If we don't get married, it will be really difficult to end this.

Chen Yao vowed, "Don't worry, sister Nanzhi, I will definitely not embarrass you tomorrow. I am your biological brother! I will bring honor to you."

Shen Nanzhi was silent for a moment.

Looking at Chen Yao's excited expression, he suppressed the urge to hit him with a stick and said perfunctorily, "Then go to bed early and get enough energy."

It's only half past eleven now.

Ever since Shen's father and mother asked for leave for him, Shen Yao has basically been letting himself go.

I won't go to bed until two or three in the morning.

But Shen Nanzhi told him to rest early.

Then he should go to bed early.

But after lying in bed and tossing and turning for two hours, Chen Yao was still excited and not sleepy at all.

All I could think about was how to make Shen Nanzhi look good tomorrow.

Dress more formally?

If everyone else was dressed normally, wouldn't he look like a conspicuous bag?

Chen Yao's ideas are wild and imaginative.

At this moment, the phone placed next to the pillow made a ding dong sound and a message popped up.

[Lu Yanzhou: Where are you having dinner tomorrow? ]

Lu Yanzhou?

Damn scumbag!

When did he get Lu Yanzhou's contact information? Chen Yao sat up from the bed with a somersault. How come he had no recollection of it?

Could it be that Lu Yanzhou hired a hacker to secretly hack into his phone?

The more Chen Yao thought about it, the more he felt that this was possible.

Looking at the message sent by Lu Yanzhou, Chen Yao snorted fiercely. He was not stupid!

I will definitely not tell Lu Yanzhou where to eat tomorrow.

If this is said, wouldn't it give Lu Yanzhou an opportunity to take advantage of it?

Just like what netizens said in the live broadcast room today, Lu Yanzhou is preparing to snatch the bride.

He, Chen Yao, would never betray Fu Qingyan!

Lu Yanzhou, retreat!

【Chen Yao: Why should I tell you? 】

[Lu Yanzhou: Even if you don't tell me, I still have a way to find out.]

Chen Yao wasn't one to be scared. "Well, if you already know the information, why are you asking me? What does that mean? It means you don't know anything at all!"

【Lu Yanzhou: ……】

He just wanted to use this opportunity to ease the relationship with Shen Yao.

After all, no matter how annoying Shen Yao is, he is still Shen Nanzhi's younger brother.

Besides, Shen Nanzhi dotes on his younger brother Shen Yao very much. Maybe with Shen Yao's help, his chances of winning Shen Nanzhi back will be greater.

Unexpectedly, Chen Yao's hostility towards him was even greater than he had imagined.

Just when Shen Yao thought Lu Yanzhou had calmed down, he sent another message:

【Lu Yanzhou: Is there any misunderstanding between us? 】

Chen Yao felt that this was not the style of words that Lu Yanzhou would say.

It’s the middle of the night, could it be a ghost?

Chen Yao was so frightened that he got goosebumps all over his body. He rubbed his hands together and sent a voice message: "Lu Yanzhou, I'm telling you, just forget about this idea. The only brother-in-law I recognize is your uncle. You, a cheating man, don't come and disturb my sister Nanzhi's happy life! If you just behave like a qualified ex, I will respect you. If you keep making trouble, don't force me to do anything!"

Maybe he can't beat Lu Yanzhou.

But he has three older brothers!

This way we can win, right?

Chen Yao was not afraid of Lu Yanzhou at all.

Lu Yanzhou didn't send any more messages. After this incident, Chen Yao lost his sleepiness even more.

Finally, I simply sat cross-legged on the bed and started reading the news in the background.

Although his name, Chen Yao, was not among the top ten in the hot search terms, he was still ranked eleventh or twelfth.

Chen Yao only picked out the ones he liked and said with great satisfaction, "The public's eyes are really sharp!"

He just said it, he definitely has a talent for live streaming!

The three brothers each have their own strengths and shine in their own fields.

As for him, he is just a lazy bum who only wants to eat and drink for free and play every day!

It was Shen Nanzhi who made him find what he liked!

Sister Nanzhi is the eternal goddess!

Therefore, this further strengthened my determination not to let down tomorrow.

I threw my phone away and started rummaging through my closet. I had put together more than a dozen sets of clothes, but no matter how I looked at them, they all looked weird.

Chen Yao took photos one by one and posted them directly online.

[Sister Nanzhi's dear brother: Is there any fashion expert who can give me some advice on what to wear to dinner with Nanzhi's future in-laws tomorrow? [Photo][Photo]...]

It happened to be the weekend.

There are a lot of night owls who stay up late.

Not long after I finished watching Chen Yao’s live broadcast, Chen Yao came out to do something again.

No wonder he is Shen Nanzhi’s beloved younger brother.

"Brother, are you serious? It's just a simple meal, there's no need to be so fancy, right?"

[Wear that gold outfit! It'll blind them! It's so shiny and beautiful. If you don't wear it, can you lend it to me?]

[Golden... Brother, you want your younger brother to embarrass himself, right? Absolutely not. That's Shen Nanzhi's future in-laws' family. We must leave a good impression. Brother, don't you have a more normal suit?]

[Would my brother freeze to death if he wore a suit in the middle of winter? Wouldn't it be even weirder if he wore a down jacket?]

"I think you're just stupid. Hotels have heating, and rich people like them are driven around by cars. Even if there's a breeze, it only lasts a few seconds and won't kill you."

[After all, poverty limits my thinking. I don’t understand the world of the rich.]

[My brother is my true brother. He will do anything to embarrass me. If he really can't, I won't wear it.]

[Streaking? That's not a good idea! My brother isn't very smart, what if he hears it? Stop giving him bad advice and give him some advice.]

[The fifth one is okay, a little more casual and less formal.]

I shed tears of envy. These outfits are all worth six or seven figures, and some are designer exclusives. I'm going to compete with you rich people!

[Huh? Is it that expensive? But I think it's no different from the clothes I buy on Pinduoduo. If I had that much money, wouldn't I use it to buy a few more houses?]

"Brother, are you serious? The quality of these clothes is incomparable to Pinxixi, okay? Please don't speak against your conscience. Also, do you think rich people need houses?"

I'm a real estate salesperson, so I have the final say. Rich people own properties all over the world, and even a few are considered small. I won't go into specifics, lest they accuse me of exposing the industry's current market trends.

"Oh my god, is your commission high for selling a house? If rich people come to buy it, wouldn't you make a killing? Is your company still hiring? Do you think I can handle it? I'm very hardworking."

Salespeople can make money, but without commissions, a base salary of 2,000 yuan a month is just a living.

"Brother, do you have any other clothes? The ones you posted are really not good. If you go there, you'll be embarrassed. It's not that your fashion sense is bad, it's just that they are too unusual. If others are dressed normally, you'll be laughed at for trying too hard."

Shen Nanzhi has a great aesthetic sense. Every time she wears something, it makes my eyes light up! And it's not a big brand. Although it's a little expensive, it's still affordable.

[Yes, you should ask your sister Nanzhi for advice.]

I guess my brother wanted to give Shen Nanzhi a surprise, otherwise why would he post it online and ask us netizens?

[Shen Nanzhi is also a 5G surfer, so perhaps she has seen the updates her brother has posted.]

[Ahhh! You're finally getting married, huh? I've been waiting so long, and it's finally here.]

[When Shen Nanzhi and Fu Qingyan get married, I will be free. Life is so tiring. I hope I can be reborn into their belly and be their child.]

[Liberation? Sister, this idea is very dangerous! Don't do anything stupid!]

What happened? Nothing is impossible. This world is still a beautiful place. Send me the payment code and I'll treat you to your last cup of milk tea this year.

Thank you everyone. I'm fine. I'm just sick and can't be cured. I've had leukemia for five years, and my health is getting worse. I'm even questioning whether I can make it through the end of the year. The hospital said there's no need for further treatment in my condition. Now I just live one day at a time, waiting to die.

[Leukemia... is it really incurable? Medical technology is so advanced nowadays, I should try another hospital.]

[As expected, everyone's joys and sorrows are different. Then you should live well until the day Shen Nanzhi gets married! ]

[Based on my experience, tomorrow's event is definitely more than just a meal; it's likely an engagement.]

"Is the engagement so simple? The Fu and Shen families are both well-known and powerful families in Jinghai. Shouldn't it be as grand as the wedding?"

"Where did you hear that nonsense? As far as I know, most wealthy people keep their engagements very low-key."

[Indeed, based on what you said, I don't think I've ever seen such a grand engagement for a wealthy family. Some of the engagements are just those of internet celebrities, using them as a gimmick to sell products.]

"Brother, how about you and Shen Nanzhi wear brother-sister outfits? Didn't you say last time that I didn't buy you brother-sister outfits? Go order a set now."

"Wearing sibling outfits to meet my future brother-in-law—isn't that pure enmity? If I had a wife with a clingy brother, it'd be fine for a while, but if they kept clinging for a long time, I'd be disgusted. You know what I mean?"

【don't know. 】

"Your thinking is really twisted. They are just siblings. Your sister married you, not sold her to your family. Why can't you let them be siblings?"

[Mr. Fu is definitely not so petty. Besides, who wouldn't like a brother like Chen Yao?]

"I just don't like it. I always feel like this kind of person is too cunning and has no sense of boundaries. Regardless of whether they are related by blood or not, they are both adults. Don't they know how to avoid suspicion? Previously, there were rumors online that Chen Yao and Shen Nanzhi were in a relationship, and they didn't know how to restrain themselves. Enough is enough. Who is actually interested in Chen Yao?"

If you become a rich person's lackey, will they give you money for free? No! I really don't know what the point of being a lapdog is. If you have this energy, you'd better think about how to repay your parents.

"How many lifetimes have you not brushed your teeth? Why do you speak so foully? They're just normal siblings, why is this so out of line? I think you're a dirty person in real life, so everything you see is dirty."

Is there a problem with Shen Yao and Shen Nanzhi getting along? No problem, I get along with my brother like this at home.

[Are you the only one left in your family? Is that why you're jealous of others having siblings?]

[Avoid suspicion... What's wrong with Chen Yao? He didn't even have any physical contact with Shen Nanzhi. Shouldn't spreading rumors also require actual evidence?]

[This generation of netizens are truly talented. Even siblings can spread rumors. I think you are truly immoral.]

[This kind of person needs a lawyer's letter! Otherwise, they'll definitely get worse! And it's a private account? Haha, did you really think I couldn't find your information like this? I'm telling you, don't underestimate the Shen family's connections! The eldest brother of Shen Yao and Shen Nanzhi is the CEO!]

[Are we bootlickers? We are all normal people, only you have an abnormal mindset. Everyone is jealous. How did you grow up to be this big?]

[I don't understand. Chen Yao and Shen Nanzhi have been very careful, but they are still accused of having another relationship. What a disgusting man.]

[You've even become an internet saint. Hilarious! Are you having a particularly unhappy life in real life?]

[It must be something that is not going well, otherwise why would there be so much anger online?]

[Blacklist and report Yitiaolong. I feel sick when I see this kind of person.]

[If you ask me, even if Shen Nanzhi married Fu Qingyan, she would still be the eldest daughter of the Shen family and Shen Yao's sister. This is a fact that can never be changed. It doesn't mean that she can sever all ties with her family after getting married.]

[Fu Qingyan didn't say anything, why are you whining like that?]

"You should solve your own food and clothing problems first, and stop worrying about things that don't belong to you. It's really ridiculous, isn't it?"

[This is off topic. This kind of person is just trying to make a name for themselves. We need to help our brother pick out clothes. First come, first served.]

【……】

The comment that insulted Shen Yao and Shen Nanzhi's abnormal relationship was quickly pushed to the top.

Chen Yao was furious.

Why are there so many idiots in the world?

He and Shen Nanzhi are siblings who came from the same womb, how could they have an incestuous relationship?

He really is just a sister-con.

Is this wrong?

Chen Yao was so angry that his teeth were grinding.

Furiously typing: [I don't usually curse, but you really deserve it! You're an orphan who's never experienced the warmth of family, so I won't bother with you. But if I see you again, hehe, just wait, you'll definitely have a criminal record!]

[This... is called cursing? ]

[My brother's scolding was too gentle. People like him should be made to experience the dangers of society.]

[Don't be angry, brother. Some people just can't stand seeing others have a good life.]

[That's not true. As the saying goes, you want your brother to live well, but you're also afraid he'll drive a Land Rover. Anyway, that's just human nature. It all depends on how you control it.]

[It's truly unethical to speculate about the relationship between siblings. You'll be lonely for the rest of your life. Don't bring trouble to other girls. Anyone who follows you will be in turmoil for the rest of their lives.]

[I don't even like this kind of person, even if he's paying me for it. Who knows what kind of toad he is in real life?]

【Haha, Toad, well said! 】

"Brother, have you decided which outfit to wear? I think the yellow one is really nice! You're a walking sparkler!"

[Actually, I also think the yellow one looks best. It's shiny and sparkly. Who understands my aesthetic?]

"There's an engagement party tomorrow. Can you please let me know the details? We just need a little bit."

[It's better not to reveal it. If Lu Yanzhou finds out, won't he make a scene?]

[It shouldn't be that serious. Lu Yanzhou is still a representative of the Lu Group. If he does this, he will only bring shame to the Lu family.]

[It's actually possible. For details, refer to what Lu Yanzhou did earlier.]

[Lu Yanzhou, Lu Yanzhou, can't you just be a qualified ex? That way I can still respect you as a man.]

[Ever since the breakup, Shen Nanzhi has become self-absorbed, and Lu Yanzhou has become restless.]

[What do you think? If Shen Nanzhi's life becomes increasingly miserable, will Lu Yanzhou still regret it? ]

[It’s hard to say. I might regret it, or I might not.]

I feel like some people are just plain mean. They don't cherish each other when they're together, and then they regret it after they break up. I don't think this is love, but just some kind of psychological problem.

[I agree. It's human nature not to want those around them to live better than themselves. Once they do, they'll feel psychologically unbalanced. I guess Lu Yanzhou is like that.]

[Sure enough, only when you get better and better will your ex want to come back.]

[I have a lot of experience saying this. When I broke up with my ex, I begged him not to break up, but he was very resolute. I eventually let it go and became successful in my career. And then, a few days ago, he suddenly added me and said he was too naive before and asked me to give him another chance.]

Did you agree?

"No, I'm already good enough, why would I want to go back? Please don't question my taste, okay?"

[People go up and down, and water flows down. It is really not recommended to go back to the old love. What is waiting for you is more suitable for you. Let the past go.]

[I just broke up three days ago, and now I'm so sad I can't even eat. Can I make it through this?]

Why do you feel like you can't make it? Believe in yourself. Men are just a regulator in life, understand? If you have money, go to the bar and order a few handsome male models to provide you with emotional value.

[Leave all the pain to time, and believe that time will heal everything. ]

"You've strayed off topic again. Shouldn't you have your younger brother keep us updated on tomorrow's progress?"

[We must be extremely wary of Lu Yanzhou. If he does sabotage us, both sides will be very unhappy.]

[Mr. Fu and Teacher Shen finally got married, but Lu Yanzhou was the accident.]

[The one who comes first may not be the right one, there may be others waiting for you! ]

"Brother, I think you should call your friends tomorrow. If Lu Yanzhou really does come to the engagement party, you should all beat him up together! You will protect your sister's happiness until your death!"

"I think you're underestimating Mr. Fu. I've heard his methods are ruthless, so he must be taking precautions. Let's not worry about it."

[That's right, doesn't Mr. Fu know about Lu Yanzhou's shady ways? He definitely won't let him stop him from pursuing his happiness.]

[Speaking of which, Shen Nanzhi's rank is still higher. He can play the uncle and nephew around by himself. When will he start a class? I can pay to learn!]

[I want it too! Even succubus wouldn't dare to be like Shen Nanzhi.]

[Otherwise, how did Shen Nanzhi become the top emotional anchor? It would be embarrassing to say that if she didn't have some strength, right? ]

[Shen Nanzhi: Thank you for the invitation. It really is just my personal charm.]

[This dramatic scene is so dramatic that even if I tell others about it, some people will doubt it, but it is true that both the uncle and the nephew fell at the feet of Shen Nanzhi.]

If my uncle is ugly, that’s another story.

【……】

at the same time.

Lu family.

After staying in the company for a week, Lu Yanzhou returned home for a rare occasion.

After nearly three months of recuperation, Fu Jing's injuries were almost healed.

These days, I am also preparing to return to my career.

Her son and daughter both make her worry, so at worst she will just ignore them.

As Shen Nanzhi said, she is herself first and her mother second.

She has done everything she should do, but neither her son nor her daughter can make her worry-free, and they hurt her feelings everywhere.

Fu Jing is tired.

Instead of continuing to waste your time on them, you might as well do something more meaningful.

The mother and son met in the living room, but neither of them spoke.

Finally, Lu Yanzhou lost his patience and asked, "Mother, are you going to have dinner with the Shen family tomorrow too?"

Fu Jing stopped what she was doing and looked up. "Why are you asking this?"

She will indeed be there tomorrow.

Both Fu's father and mother had informed her in advance. After all, it was her younger brother's engagement party, so she had to be there.

Otherwise, what would the Shen family think?

But Lu Yanzhou cannot be brought along.

Originally, Lu Yanzhou still had some thoughts about Shen Nanzhi. If he saw Shen Nanzhi and Fu Qingyan getting engaged with his own eyes, who knows what kind of commotion would arise?

Fu Jing would definitely not take this risk.

Lu Yanzhou casually put his coat on the sofa and asked, "Is Fu Qingyan going to get engaged to Shen Nanzhi?"

The man's voice was low and his tone was calm.

Fu Jing was surprised.

I didn't expect Lu Yanzhou to say this so calmly.

At least in her mind, she should be angry.

Unable to guess what Lu Yanzhou was thinking, Fu Jing didn't give a definitive answer. She simply said, "Whether they're engaged or not is their business. What does it have to do with you? The people who have been eyeing the Lu family are really eager to see you. Don't do anything rash."

"Your grandfather's health is very poor and he cannot tolerate any stimulation. Lu Corporation is his life's work. You must not let him down."

The following words were also meant to warn Lu Yanzhou.

Warn him not to do anything that would bring shame to the Lu family.

For example, he robbed the bride and had a conflict with Fu Qingyan in public.

If this gets out, how can the Lu family still have any face? They will become the laughing stock of the entire Jinghai!

There was a dark color in Lu Yanzhou's eyes, and it was hard to tell what emotion he was expressing.

He wrote four words: "I know what's going on."
