Shangguan Wu wasn't fooled and casually replied, "Just bored!"

Qin Yiheng was momentarily speechless.

Chen Xintong couldn't help but laugh out loud. When she saw the man looking over, she said seriously, "Mr. Heng, you might as well speak your mind. However, I won't agree to every cooperation with you."

This statement convinced Qin Yiheng to cooperate with her.

"Let's cooperate as you suggested."

What she said?

Chen Xintong was slightly taken aback: "Pretend to be a couple to fool the parents?"

Qin Yiheng gave a faint "hmm".

Chen Xintong: "..." So he didn't trust her before?

She glanced at Shangguan Wu; if it weren't for her little sister being there, she really wouldn't want to deal with this stinky man.

Shangguan Wu blinked twice.

Seeing this, Chen Xintong asked, "Wu Bao, what's wrong?"

Shangguan Wu looked at them and asked playfully, "If I know such a big secret, will I be silenced?"

Qin Yiheng scoffed speechlessly.

Chen Xintong cleared her throat: "If you leak the news, killing you would be too cruel. How about I sell you? I'll sell you to my Chen family and make you my little sister."

Suddenly, Qin Yiheng stared at her with sharp eyes.

Chen Xintong felt a chill run down her spine under his gaze and explained, "I was just joking."

Qin Yiheng said coldly, "It's not funny."

The atmosphere was a little awkward.

Shangguan Wu raised his hand to ease the tension, saying, "I promise I won't tell anyone, and I'll definitely keep this a secret for you two big shots!"

Qin Yiheng raised an eyebrow at her: "You're not going to tell Gu Si either?"

Thinking of that jerk who didn't reply to her messages last night, Shangguan Wu nodded decisively: "Don't tell him. Why should I tell him? I don't even want to see him!"

Chen Xintong wanted to ask her if they had argued, but looking at the protective man in front of her, she got down to business: "Master Heng, since we're going to pretend to be a couple, shouldn't we make an appearance together? Do you think it would be appropriate at the Xiao family's celebration banquet tonight?"

Qin Yiheng immediately curled his lips into a wicked smile: "Perfectly suitable."

This isn't the first time he's tried to steal Xiao Jingming's thunder; the other party is probably used to it by now!

When Chen Xintong saw him smile, and that smile was so charming and seductive, she was momentarily stunned.

However, the thought that he only liked men made her lose all interest.

Chen Xintong slowly took a sip of red wine; she didn't indulge in the kind of daydreams of straightening someone out.

Shangguan Wu looked at her older cousin, then at the sexy Chen Xintong, and said, "Cousin, since you have Sister Tong as your companion, then I don't need to go, right?"

Chen Xintong put her arm around her shoulder: "No, you have to come with us. Can you bear to let your sister listen to those stinky men bragging all the time?"

Shangguan Wu raised an eyebrow: "Bragging?"

Chen Xintong nodded: "For example, what project you've secured, how many percentage points the group's profits have increased, how many women like you, and showing off your purchase of airplanes, cruise ships, and skyscrapers. If you're capable, that's fine, you can buy whatever you want. But I really don't like those who rely on their family's money to show off."

When my mother appeared, the air seemed to stand still.

A sexy and beautiful woman who calls herself "Old Lady"...it's strangely funny.

Qin Yiheng and Shangguan Wu exchanged a glance.

Shangguan Wu suppressed a laugh.

But Qin Yiheng was considering whether he should be more careful about this "girlfriend" candidate. Although it was a fake one, outsiders wouldn't know.

Chen Xintong inadvertently revealed her true nature, but fortunately, she had seen many big occasions and this wasn't the first time such a situation had occurred. She was able to remain calm and composed, taking a sip of red wine with a composed expression, perfectly embodying the saying, "As long as I'm not embarrassed, it's others who are embarrassed."

Shangguan Wu's eyes darted around, and she smiled, "So, there are quite a few rich people tonight!"

Chen Xintong looked at her curiously and asked, "Do you have any thoughts?"

Shangguan Wu suddenly sat up straight and said seriously, "I want to establish a foundation."

A hint of surprise flashed in Chen Xintong's eyes, then she smiled approvingly: "That's a good idea. If you need any help, just let me know."

Qin Yiheng glanced at her: "Don't steal my words."

Chen Xintong's lips twitched slightly: "Master Heng, are you always this rude to women?"

Qin Yiheng raised an eyebrow: "I have great respect for women."

Shangguan Wu said, "He has a very strong will to survive."

Qin Yiheng raised his hand: "Looking for a beating?"

Shangguan Wu hid behind a dining table, so Qin Yiheng couldn't hit her.

Chen Xintong looked at the two of them with amusement, then looked down at the menu on the table and began to order.

***

The news of Shangguan Xinyi's departure from the Gu residence reached the ears of both Gu Yilou and Gu Yunzhen.

Gu Yilou pressed his temples, feeling a headache coming on.

He was tired of repeating the same thing to one person over and over again.

However, Shangguan Xinyi was clearly hostile to his fourth brother and sister-in-law, so he called his fourth brother, Gu Yunzhen.

The call connected, and Gu Yilou said, "I'm sorry."

Since he knew that Jiang Yu had met Shangguan Xinyi, then his fourth brother must also know that he apologized for his wife's behavior.

Gu Yunzhen certainly understood who he was referring to with those two words, but there was no need to.

"Brother, to me, you are you, and she is she."

Gu Yunzhen's meaning was also very clear: his elder brother was his elder brother, and Jiang Yu was Jiang Yu; the two were not one entity.

These words were a huge blow to Jiang Yu.

It's fair to say that she herself has been completely rejected.

Gu Yilou's expression froze.

He asked helplessly, "What are you planning to do?"

Gu Yunzhen didn't hide anything from him: "I promised her that I wouldn't let anyone hurt her."

Gu Yilou understood.
