21 Chapter 21

◎Slap in the face on the spot! ◎

At about 8 o'clock in the evening, the program stopped filming and the live broadcast room was closed.

The guests were all doing their own things.

After Shen Xi returned to the stone house, he called Shen Yufeng.

The two brothers just chatted for a few words, and Shen Yufeng heard that Shen Xi's tone was a little wrong.

Shen Yufeng was a man who was extremely protective of his younger brother. He immediately asked, "What's wrong, Xiaoxi? What's wronged you?"

Shen Xi sniffed and pretended to be strong and said, "Nothing, I just miss home."

Shen Yufeng was not easily fooled: "Xiaoxi, tell me, did someone in the program group make you angry?"

Shen Xi changed the subject: "Brother, let's not talk about this. Let's talk about family matters. Are mom and dad in good health recently?"

Shen Yufeng heard him forcibly change the subject, so he could only follow his lead and talk about family matters, but he already had a plan in his mind...

-

After the filming was finished the next night, the program group welcomed a visitor.

It was Shen Yufeng.

Shen Yufeng was also a well-known young talent in the entire Beijing city, so many people knew him.

He was warmly received as soon as he arrived this time. Even the director came to greet him: "Boss Shen, what brings you here?"

The director was a very active person. He thought that since Shen Yufeng was here, he should be treated well. After all, Shen Yufeng was a young and promising person. What if he was in a good mood and was willing to invest in their program group? Shen Yufeng

was wearing an iron-gray suit today. He was handsome and had a good figure. Standing there, he looked like a boss.

He stretched out his hand and shook hands with the director: "I am also passing by on a business trip. I came to take a look. I hope I didn't disturb your filming."

The tone of these words was just right. At first glance, it was someone who had been in the business world.

The director said quickly, "No, no, Mr. Shen, come often when you are free."

Then Shen Yufeng told his assistant to distribute the gifts he brought to everyone present.

Everyone got a share.

Mr. Shen's image as a wealthy and generous person was established immediately.

At this time, Shen Mu also learned that Shen Yufeng had come.

However, he did not care about it at all, and sat under a big tree with Fu Nonuo to enjoy the cool.

Shen Xi was different. When he heard that Shen Yufeng had come, he ran to Shen Yufeng in two steps and almost fell down.

Fortunately, Shen Yufeng quickly grabbed him, and then said with a stern face: "Why don't you walk properly? What if you fall?"

Although his face was not good, everyone could hear the doting in his tone.

Shen Xi felt like he was being treated like a child, and stomped his feet in a somewhat annoyed manner: "Brother, can't you save some face for me? You scold me in front of so many people."

The staff of the program group all laughed.

But after laughing, they all looked at Shen Mu intentionally or unintentionally.

Isn't it said that Shen Mu is Shen Yufeng's biological brother? Why don't these two people say a word when they meet?

People are gossipy, and they don't say anything on the surface, but they all start to pay attention to the progress of things.

Shen Xi continued to talk to Shen Yufeng affectionately: "Brother, why did you come here suddenly?"

Shen Yufeng said seriously: "If I didn't come, you would be bullied here and no one would support you."

As he said that, he looked at Shen Mu intentionally or unintentionally.

It was only after he hung up the phone with Shen Xi last night that Shen Yufeng went to search the Internet. It would not have mattered if he hadn't searched, but he found a big problem after searching.

Shen Xi was maliciously speculated by many netizens two days ago.

The reason was that someone broke the news that Shen Mu accompanied drinking, and some stupid netizens actually said that Shen Xi was the mastermind behind it.

Looking at those messages, Shen Yufeng almost threw his phone.

In addition, he found that Shen Mu had repeatedly disagreed with Shen Xi in the program, and actually beat Shen Xi in various tasks. How could Shen Xi, who had been arrogant since childhood, bear this?

When he thought that his brother, whom he had protected since childhood, had been subjected to such great malice, he could not sit still at all. He bought a plane ticket overnight and rushed over today.

At this moment, Shen Yufeng chatted with Shen Xi for a few words, and then took Shen Xi to Shen Mu's place.

Shen Xi was puzzled: "Brother, where are we going?"

Shen Yufeng said with a cold expression: "Of course we are going to warn some people and let them see their position clearly."

Shen Xi reacted, and then hurriedly persuaded: "Brother, don't be like this, there is nothing wrong between Shen Mu and me."

Shen Yufeng looked at him with hatred: "It's because you have always been so good-tempered that you allow others to bully you."

Shen Xi seemed to be unable to refute what he said, and could only follow Shen Yufeng and walk over there silently.

The staff of the program group were all very curious, but it was the business of the three brothers, and they couldn't get too close, so they watched from a distance.

Here, Shen Mu was playing with the grass with Fu Nonuo, and then two people appeared in the corner of his eye.

He raised his eyes and saw that it was Shen Yufeng and Shen Xi who came over.

Shen Mu: "..."

Why did these two people come to him for no reason?

They were not here to strengthen their brotherly relationship.

Shen Mu was afraid that the scene that followed would not be suitable for children, so he sent Fu Nonuo to play by himself.

Soon, only the three Shen brothers were left at the scene.

Shen Yufeng looked at the little kid who ran away and asked in a cold voice, "Where did that child come from? Shen Mu, are you brave enough to have an illegitimate child outside?" Shen

Mu sat on a stone bench with one arm lazily resting on the stone table. He looked nonchalant, "What's it got to do with you?"

Shen Yufeng: "..."

Shen Yufeng said with a straight face: "I really don't want to get involved in your business, but I want to warn you today. Be polite to Xiaoxi in the future on the show, otherwise don't blame me for turning my back on you."

Shen Mu said perfunctorily: "When was I rude to him?"

Shen Yufeng said unhappily; "You know what you did."

This man was pointed out by others for his dirty deeds as a drinking companion, and someone even suspected the innocent Shen Xi. This man also always put pressure on Shen Xi in the show, etc. These crimes are too numerous to list.

Shen Mu raised his eyebrows; "What if I don't do it?"

Shen Yufeng was annoyed by his nonchalant attitude: "Then the consequences will be something you can't bear."

Shen Mu looked at Shen Xi slowly, then at Shen Yufeng: "Oh?"

His faint voice was inexplicably provocative.

Shen Yufeng's face became even uglier: "Sit down and talk properly."

I don't know why, but Shen Mu's direct contempt for him made him feel very unhappy.

He is Shen Mu's elder brother after all, isn't he? Why does Shen Mu disrespect him so much?

It's strange that Shen Mu would listen to Shen Yufeng. He still sat there in a lazy posture, as if he didn't have much strength. He said lightly: "I can sit however I want and talk however I want. No one can tell me what to do, including you."

Shen Yufeng: "..."

He was obviously here to teach Shen Mu a lesson, but he was inexplicably angered by Shen Mu and fainted.

Shen Xi on the side frowned.

He never thought that even after Shen Yufeng came, he couldn't control Shen Mu.

However, Shen Xi has always been considerate and kind in front of others, so he quickly advised: "Okay, big brother, stop talking. Shen Mu didn't bully me in the show. We are all brothers. Can we be more friendly?"

After being advised, Shen Yufeng's anger finally subsided a little.

He said to Shen Mu coldly: "I'm too lazy to talk to you anymore."

After that, he flicked his sleeves and left.

Shen Xi hurriedly chased after him.

Shen Mu was left there and yawned lazily.

What a boring two people, and they wasted so much of his time.

At dinner time, everyone doesn't have to cook for themselves.

Because President Shen Yufeng waved his hand and decided to invite all the guests and staff to dinner together.

He did this to support Shen Xi.

In this way, whoever in the program group sees Shen Xi in the future will think that Shen Xi has a powerful brother, and will be more respectful to Shen Xi.

Everyone in the program group is ready to go.

Although Liang Yu is a little slow, he still sees that Shen Mu and the other two Shen brothers are not getting along, so he quietly asks him: "Do you want to go to the dinner? If you don't go, I'll stay with you." He

was thinking that if only Shen Mu and his son didn't go, it would stand out. If he and Yunyun didn't go either, it wouldn't be so embarrassing.

Shen Mu didn't expect Liang Yu to say this on his own initiative, and was a little surprised.

But soon he smiled indifferently: "Why not go? If someone invites you, of course you have to go, and you have to eat enough."

Liang Yu also laughed.

He originally thought that Shen Mu might be in a bad mood after what happened just now, but he didn't expect that Shen Mu was not affected at all. Such a mentality is really great!

So just like that, a group of people went straight to a local Western restaurant.

Everyone sat down in turn.

Shen Mu didn't want to socialize, so he took Fu Nonuo to sit a little further away so that they could eat more quietly.

As for the protagonist of tonight, it was of course Shen Yufeng who treated them.

Shen Yufeng is a boss after all, and he is very good at presenting the scene.

He sat with the director, and the two discussed many issues. Of course, the focus was still on Shen Xi.

The director complimented, "Your brother is very good. He is popular but has a good temper. He is very cooperative in filming programs. Our staff likes him very much."

Shen Yufeng said modestly, "No, no, it's still the director who trained him well."

After that, he looked at Shen Xi with a proud look on his face.

Shen Xi cooperated and stepped forward to toast, "Director, big brother, I toast you a glass."

For a moment, everyone was in a very harmonious atmosphere.

Shen Xi also stole the limelight.

After the toast, Shen Xi returned to his seat.

In the middle of the conversation, he glanced at Shen Mu, and the meaning of showing off was self-evident.

What's the use of Shen Mu's performance in recent days? When it comes to the critical occasion, won't he have the upper hand?

However, Shen Mu didn't care what happened there.

He had dinner happily with his little cub Nuonuo.

They had Western food today.

Not to mention the usual steak and foie gras, Shen Mu really liked the cream potato soup in this restaurant.

The thickness of the cream potato soup was just right, and the taste was rich. I don't know what kind of seasoning was added to it, but it made people eat it mouthful after mouthful, leaving an endless aftertaste.

Fu Nuonuo also liked to drink this cream potato soup.

He obediently lay on the dining table and fed it into his mouth one spoonful at a time with a spoon. He soon finished the whole bowl, and even his little belly bulged up, just like a well-fed kitten.

The guests enjoyed the meal very much.

Shen Xi was the center of attention.

After all, Shen Yufeng's purpose of inviting Shen Xi to dinner was to promote him, so he would not stop until he achieved his goal.

After dinner, everyone got up and walked out of the private room and came to the corridor outside.

At this time, they ran into another group of people.

The leader of the other group was a well-known real estate tycoon, and everyone called him Mr. Li.

When Shen Yufeng saw Mr. Li, his eyes suddenly lit up.

He had always wanted to contact Mr. Li, but he had never succeeded. After all, the other party's appointments were scheduled for a long time. He

never expected that after searching everywhere, he would actually meet him here tonight.

Xiaoxi is indeed his lucky star. If he hadn't wanted to support Xiaoxi tonight, he wouldn't have come here to treat him, and he wouldn't have met Mr. Li.

Shen Yufeng immediately took a few steps forward, walked in front of Mr. Li, and then took out his business card: "Hello, Mr. Li, we met at a business gathering before, but I didn't have time to say hello to you at that time. Today I finally have the honor of meeting you." Mr. Li

did not take Shen Yufeng's business card at the first time. After all, he has reached his current position and does not accept all business cards.

Mr. Li just laughed and said, "Okay, okay, we'll talk about it some other day when we have time."

Who knows when that day will be.

Shen Yufeng was a little anxious. After all, the opportunity to meet Mr. Li is not common, and he has a project that urgently needs to get on the big ship of Mr. Li, so he must seize this opportunity today.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly said, "I wonder if Mr. Li has eaten? I'll treat you to dinner."

Mr. Li shook his hand to refuse, and was about to walk away, but the next second, he saw Shen Mu in the corner.

A trace of thought flashed across Mr. Li's face.

Soon he remembered something, and took the initiative to come to Shen Mu, with a very polite look: "Mr. Shen, are you here to eat too?"

For a moment, everyone's attention was focused on Shen Mu.

Shen Yufeng's eyes widened suddenly.

Mr. Li knows Shen Mu?

Shen Xi's face looked a little ugly.

After all, he stole the limelight at the dinner tonight, and vaguely felt that he had returned to the glorious days of the past.

But unexpectedly, things seem to have become a little worse now.

The eyes of the program staff were wandering around the three brothers of the Shen family. Why did Shen Yufeng always treat Shen Xi as a treasure? Now it seems that Shen Mu is the treasure.

However, in fact, Shen Mu, the person involved, was a little confused.

Because he didn't know this Mr. Li in front of him at all.

But Shen Mu has one biggest advantage. Even if he encounters an emergency situation, he can remain calm and his expression will not change at all.

At the same time, he was thinking that Mr. Li must have known through some channels that he had a special relationship with the head of the Fu family, so he wanted to contact the head through him.

Thinking of this, Shen Mu smiled faintly, and said in a neither humble nor arrogant tone, "Yes, I just had a meal here."

Anyway, he didn't understand those things in the business world, so he just dealt with it.

Mr. Li continued to say to him politely, "You just had a meal in this western restaurant, I also have a share in this western restaurant, if you come to eat next time, I can ask them to give you a free meal."

Shen Mu smiled faintly: "Thank you, let's talk about it later."

Everyone present was shocked. Mr. Li was a powerful figure in the business world, but Shen Mu was so calm?

However, Mr. Li obviously didn't mind Shen Mu's attitude and continued to talk to Shen Mu.

At this time, Shen Yufeng also reacted and walked to the side of the two.

He rarely smiled and said to Shen Mu; "Xiao Mu, you know Mr. Li? Why didn't you say it earlier? Then we are all friends."

He is a businessman and knows how to judge the situation. He has now put aside the previous grievances with Shen Mu and just wants to use Shen Mu to get in touch with Mr. Li.

Unfortunately, Shen Mu did not intend to cooperate with him. He just glanced at him lightly and said nothing.

Mr. Li also saw Shen Mu's attitude and had no intention of accepting Shen Yufeng's business card.

Shen Yufeng: "..."

He gritted his teeth. What's wrong with this Shen Mu? Can't he understand his eyes?

Shen Yufeng really didn't want to miss this opportunity, and continued to say with a thick face: "Mr. Li, Xiao Mu is my younger brother, and he is having a quarrel with me right now."

Shen Mu just laughed with an ambiguous meaning.

He is a younger brother when he is needed, and he is asked to stay away from the Shen family when he is not needed.

This Shen Yufeng is really hypocritical.

Shen Yufeng: "..."

Even if he is thick-skinned, he can't hold it back at this moment.

Shen Xi's brain was racing at the side at this moment.

He knew that at this time, only if he went forward to establish a relationship with this Mr. Li, others would look up to him.

The most important thing is, how could he let Shen Mu surpass himself in terms of connections?

Shen Xi thought desperately, and finally remembered that he and Mr. Li had met once before.

Thinking of this, he walked forward excitedly: "Mr. Li, do you still remember? You invested in a TV series two years ago. I was the male lead of that TV series at that time. We also sat at the same table for dinner at the wrap-up banquet. I even asked you to drink a glass of wine at that time."

In order to let Mr. Li remember, he described a lot of details.

Shen Yufeng suddenly felt hopeful when he heard Shen Xi say this.

Even if he couldn't count on Shen Mu, this ungrateful person, he could still count on his precious brother.

Who knew that Mr. Li looked at Shen Xi and said, "Is that the case? Haha, I can't remember it."

This is the truth. He invests in so many movies and TV series every year. How can he know which time he had dinner with whom?

Shen Xi's originally somewhat excited expression suddenly collapsed.

He felt like a little idiot at the moment, but he had to smile and try his best to maintain the dignity of the scene: "Mr. Li, you are a noble man who forgets things easily. It's normal that you can't remember."

"Yes, I'm old." Mr. Li laughed and didn't talk to Shen Xi anymore, but continued to talk to Shen Mu.

Shen Xi was forgotten and couldn't even get a word in.

He felt very uncomfortable at this moment.

Especially the contrast between the way those people looked at him and the way they looked at Shen Mu made him feel even more uncomfortable, as if he, Shen Xi, was no longer as good as Shen Mu.

Shen Yufeng's face turned ugly again.

He couldn't understand why Shen Mu, who was useless, had such good connections, but Shen Xi didn't?

Thinking of this, he glanced at Shen Xi unconsciously.

Shen Xi clenched his fists when he was looked at like that.

What does it mean? Does the eldest brother also think that he can't compare to Shen Mu now?

After a while, Mr. Li left.

The rest of the people had nothing to do, so they went downstairs together.

However, Shen Yufeng and Shen Xi, who were still in high spirits when they came, didn't speak anymore, and the two didn't know what they were thinking about. It

was originally a good dinner, but now it has become awkward and suffocating for no reason.

Everyone left.

At around ten o'clock in the evening, Shen Yufeng returned home.

Both Shen's father and mother were still awake, sitting on the sofa in the living room watching TV.

When Shen's mother saw her eldest son coming back, she asked, "Where did you go today? Why do you seem unhappy?"

Shen Yufeng told her about the dinner, and emphasized his encounter with Mr. Li.

Shen's mother also knew that Mr. Li's connections were very important, so she immediately said, "I told you to get along well with Xiao Mu, but now that you know you need him, he won't help you, right?"

Shen Yufeng said unhappily, "He is an ungrateful person. It's obvious that he could have brought Mr. Li and I closer with just a few words in that situation, but he didn't say anything."

After that, he took off his suit and sat heavily on the sofa.

Father Shen also disagreed: "No matter what, he is your brother. Even if you can't treat him and Xiaoxi equally, you should at least be nice to him."

Shen Yufeng snorted coldly.

Want him to be nicer to Shen Mu? Maybe in the next life.

If Shen Mu hadn't suddenly appeared and revealed the matter of the wrong child, would Xiaoxi have been so upset during that time?

At this time, Shen's mother couldn't help but say, "Why does Xiaomu have a wider network of contacts than Xiaoxi? He even knows people of Mr. Li's level."

Shen Yufeng immediately defended Shen Xi: "What does this have to do with Xiaoxi? He can't help me, and he is also very self-reproachful, okay?"

Shen's mother frowned: "You are the boss of a company after all, can't you be less impatient when you speak and do things? When did I say something bad about Xiaoxi?"

Shen Yufeng was in an irritable mood, picked up the suit he had taken off, and went upstairs directly.

Shen's father and mother were left looking at each other.

This child usually looks quite stable, why is he so stubborn sometimes?

After a while, Shen's mother said, "How about inviting Xiao Mu back for dinner some other day? Since he knows Mr. Li, and our family's project needs Mr. Li's help, why not let him help pull the strings..."

Shen's father nodded, "Well, you arrange it."

-

Here, Shen Mu knew nothing about what had happened.

He took Fu Nonuo back to the stone house.

After Shen Mu returned, he first transferred the money for today's meal to Shen Yufeng.

He didn't want to have any disputes with Shen Yufeng because of these two or three hundred yuan.

After transferring the money, he threw his mobile phone aside and took Fu Nonuo to wash up.

Half an hour later, the father and son finished washing up, changed into pajamas, and went to bed.

Tonight, Fu Nonuo put on a set of yellow tiger pajamas, and the whole cub looked fierce and cute.

But when he spoke, his baby voice exposed his true nature again; "Daddy, what bedtime story are you telling tonight?"

Shen Mu leaned against the head of the bed and opened the story book: "Today we will tell the story of sailors and the sea..."

Fu Nonuo lay obediently on the quilt, supporting his chin with his hands, and listened to the story very seriously.

When Shen Mu talked about how the sailors were knocked over by the waves again and again, but stood up bravely again and again, Fu Nonuo's eyes widened, and then he said: "Wow, the sailors are so brave!"

Shen Mu laughed; "Yes, only brave sailors can defeat the wind and waves."

Fu Nonuo clenched his fist: "Then I have to be brave too."

Shen Mu touched his little head; "Okay, but now the brave Nonuo needs to sleep, otherwise, you will wake up with two panda eyes tomorrow morning."

Fu Nonuo was terrified: "I don't want to have panda eyes!"

Shen Mu: "Then go to sleep now."

"Okay~"

Fu Nonuo rolled into the quilt and closed his eyes obediently.

Children have very good sleep quality.

Fu Nuonuo fell asleep almost as soon as he lay on the pillow, proving what a baby-like sleep is.

Shen Mu smiled and tidied the quilt for him, then put down the story book and turned off the light.

Soon, the bedroom was dark, and both father and son fell asleep sweetly.

A harmonious and beautiful night.
