"Roy, that's your brother!?" The boy excitedly nudged the man next to him in the ribs with his elbow, "He doesn't look like you at all... Is he a illegitimate child?"
Su Rong pushed his hand back: "That's not the case. He is my half brother, but his mother is from the Lin family and now she is married to the Li family. My brother looks a lot like Madam Li."
"Is that so?" The boy suddenly realized that it was a divorce case.
This situation is relatively rare. Most people choose to maintain a superficial marriage. After all, the cost of divorce is too high.
Su Rong knew what was in his mind without even looking at him. Although this young man from a foreign country looked young, he was actually not as innocent as his age and appearance suggested. His name was Eric, and he came from the Dresden family, which had a partnership with the Su family. The family's sphere of influence was on another continent.
In fact, the Dresden family not only cooperates with the Su family, but also with the Lin family and the Li family. These three families were originally allies, and the subtlety of their marriage is comparable to that of Jia Xiangjun. This alliance has been maintained for more than three generations. The only failed example is probably the tragic case of his eldest brother Su Yun...
But then again, the good things should be kept within the family, after all, the daughter of the Lin family turned around and joined the Li family.
His elder brother... ah...
Su Rong picked up the wine on the table and shook it slightly. His elder brother was standing not far away, accompanying the little girl Su Wan very patiently. He didn't know when he grew his hair long, but he was indeed very handsome, and had a beauty that transcended gender.
It’s no wonder that it attracted Eric...such a troublesome lawsuit.
Su Rong withdrew his gaze and looked at his drinking buddies around him. Eric was also staring at Su Yun's direction, and it was obvious that he was concerned.
The reason why these two people became like-minded is because they have similar hobbies, but Su Rong only likes women, while Eric is not particular about gender and likes older people.
Assholes know no national boundaries, and Su Rong, as one of them, knows this very well.
"Eric, I advise you to give up this idea." Su Rong lowered his head to drink, "He still controls the mining industry in the northwest, and my father and mother are still very worried about him."
Eric then turned to look at him, and said jokingly, "What do you think I'm going to do? Am I the kind of person who likes to force others? I just want to...how do you say it...with your brother? That's right!
Let’s fall in love!”
Su Rong dared to bet that Eric had probably estimated Su Yun's size in his heart. This guy must be regretting that his elder brother was not an illegitimate child, because this made it much more difficult for Su Yun to get him.
As for dating...the person who invited him to an orgy party a week ago told him this. Does she really think she is a pure girl?
The two were just plastic flower friends, not to mention Eric was suppressed by his elder brother at home, so Su Rong refused without hesitation: "My elder brother can't fall in love with a man like you, forget it."
There was no need to tell outsiders about Su Yun's illness, so when Su Rong refused, he simply hinted at Su Yun's sexual orientation.
Eric was silent for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's a shame, your eldest brother is so attractive."
Su Rong glanced at him and smiled without commenting.
Eric sighed softly and pronounced it awkwardly: "Su... Yun... Su Yun, right? What a beautiful name."
The appearance is fine, but it’s those eyes… once you see them, you can’t look away.

As night came, the cocktail party ended hastily and the banquet was about to begin. The young men and women walked down the stairs chatting and laughing, while the accompanying personnel who came to add to the fun had to stay here.
Su Yun spent the entire afternoon with the child. Su Wan pestered him and refused to let him go. When he turned around, his half-brother Li Haoze also came over and successfully became his second little tail.
Li Haoze is a very cute little fat boy. Judging from his facial features, he doesn’t look much like his mother, but he is still young and it is hard to say what he will look like in the future.
When Li Haochu met Su Wan, it was like thunder and lightning, a desperate battle and a fatal blow between a junior high school student and an elementary school student.
Su Yun was sandwiched between the two people. He skillfully looked up at the sky with his eyes blank, and occasionally responded with a reply or two, which caused the unanimous dissatisfaction of the two people.
The end of the banquet did not make Su Yun feel relieved. He dragged the two children downstairs. Thinking about facing their parents next, he felt terrible.
No... Compared to the world of adults, elementary school kids are cuter...
However, Su Yun couldn't avoid it just because he wanted to. When he saw the familiar figure approaching him, he had to stop and said, "Father."
The tall man stood in front of him. He was a little stunned when he saw Su Yun's new look, but then he patted Su Yun on the shoulder and said, "Ayun, are you feeling better recently?"
The man held a gentle lady on his arm, and Su Wan walked towards her from Su Yun: "Mom."
lady
The person smiled: "It's Xiaoyun... Wanwan, look at you, you've troubled your brother again."
It was the same care that hadn't changed in the past ten years, so Su Yun solved the problem with a stereotyped answer: "Doctor Wang said I'm much better. Xiaowan is very sensible and she didn't bother me."
Li Haochu also greeted them obediently and received the kind care of his elders.
Not far away, Ms. Lin Shuqin was walking slowly towards them, and beside her was her handsome husband. The two families met in a friendly manner, and the interactions were extremely harmonious.
Everything looks glamorous and bright, and every family under the spotlight is a model.
Su Yun lowered his eyes and suddenly felt that the scene before him was extremely boring.
This...it would be better for him to go to the Colosseum to watch a fight.

The dinner has begun.
It was not until this time that Su Yun finally understood the purpose of this banquet. It turned out that this banquet was for the purpose of building relationships. In addition to the Lin, Li and Su families, it also included many families that cooperated with them, most of whom were friends from overseas. No wonder there were people of all skin colors at the party just now. It seemed that the business of accompanying guests to drink had also become internationalized.
Su Yun found a corner to sit down, from where he could clearly see the most magnificent place in the huge venue. The person giving the speech on the podium seemed to be a representative from the Stuttgart family. He was so enthusiastic and humorous that the audience responded with applause and laughter.
It's still the beginning stage of the dinner.
The younger children had gathered together, while the half-grown children who had taken care of family affairs were still standing next to their parents. People gathered as family units, exchanging simple greetings and business talks.
Su Yun took out his rarely used mobile phone, operated it clumsily, and slowly opened the information file package that had been downloaded long ago for alumni support.
There were all kinds of books and papers in there, talking about the history of the Middle Ages and modern times. Of course, Su Yun was most familiar with ancient history, but considering that his fantasy was always moving forward, in order to make the next dream equally exquisite and exciting, Su Yun decided to study history well, and it would be best if he could memorize it all...
By the way, you also need to check the relevant image data.
Just as Su Yun was memorizing, an unexpected visitor sat down next to him. The expensive and low-key aroma and smell of wine were extremely strong in this small corner.
Su Yun lowered his head slightly and looked at the young man, carefully recalling his name: "Um... Mr. Dresden?"
The boy smiled warmly at him and said, "I've been looking for you for a long time!
Sit here? Don't you want to go out and play?"
The boy's accent was a bit awkward. Su Yun hesitated for a moment, and finally said to him in Dresden's native language: "You don't have to call me big brother..."
Eric's eyes lit up when he heard the native language: "Do you speak Dresden? You are really knowledgeable. What are you reading? Can I see it?"
This is finding a common topic, however Su Yun didn't know why the boy came to him. The reason why he knew many foreign languages was because he was a closed person.
He cannot feel emotions and cannot communicate with others, but he has an extraordinary talent for studying texts. Therefore, in addition to studying history, Su Yun also tried language training and has a basic knowledge of several major languages.
"Nothing..." Su Yun hesitated for a moment, then pulled out a book written by a Dresden scholar and flipped to the untranslated page, "Just some historical information."
Eric moved closer immediately after getting permission. He was so distracted at the moment that he had no time to care about any common topics. The beauty was even more beautiful when seen up close. Those eyes... were like a whirlpool in the abyss that would suck people in.
In fact, Su Rong's prediction was correct. Eric had even thought about how to play in bed.
"Have you read it?"
It was not until Su Yun asked that Eric suddenly came to his senses. He subconsciously raised a surprised smile and quickly glanced at the header: "It's really God's will! I also like these recently - the modern history of Dresden..."
Eric's smile twisted a little. He paused and uttered this noun suffix that was difficult to pronounce even in his native language: "Uh... Prussia abolished serfdom..."
Su Yun: “…”
Su Yun smiled and turned off his phone: "It's just a little hobby, sorry for the joke."
"How could that be! So you are a historian?" The boy smiled and ignored his mistake. "Speaking of which, I still have a lot of related books at home. When I read them before-"
"I'm sorry." Su Yun suddenly interrupted him, "If you are pursuing me, then you can stop."
“It’s impossible for me to fall in love with anyone.”
The sudden rejection left the boy stunned, and then he felt frustrated and angry.
God knows he was just trying to start a conversation! Who would answer like that?! Wasn't he afraid of making a mistake and being too sentimental? Or was this person an old hand who could see through his tricks at a glance?
Eric had no idea that in another world, Su Yun had seen many similar looks. He saw the purpose of this foreign boy at a glance.
Besides, Su Yun is not a human being at all. If he refuses, he means it, and he will never give you any subtle hints.
The scene was extremely awkward for a moment, and the love veteran was just about to laugh it off, but an uninvited guest interrupted him.
"Eric, what are you doing?"
A deep male voice came from behind Su Yun, speaking in Stuttgart. Stuttgart has a lot of plosive sounds and is pronounced particularly "hard". Even ordinary conversations sound sonorous and powerful. When this person said this, it sounded like a scolding and an accusation to outsiders.
The boy's smile froze for a moment: "Brother, why are you here?"
Su Yun turned around and saw a very tall man with very light blue eyes. He had his back to the light and was staring at them quietly.
The author has something to say: Kaisei-shun Alliance: A very common operation during the Japanese Warring States Period, where the three families of Takeda, Hojo, and Imagawa exchanged their sons and daughters to form an alliance. I laughed to death when I saw the diagrams when I looked up the information about the assassins. Yes, the laugh point is that low.
Stuttgart Dresden: A city name from Germany, used here as a fictional family and country name.
