Xia Airou suddenly put down her chopsticks and pointed directly at Shen Tianxing, who was quietly eating with her head down.
“Sister, I’ve noticed that Brother Xie has been bothering you a lot lately. You don’t seem like the type to be two-faced, so did something happen to give him the wrong idea, making him chase after you so persistently?”
Shen Tianxing: Trying to play the innocent act with me, huh???
Shen Tianxing gently set down her chopsticks and turned to Xie Linchuan, asking with an innocent expression:
“Did I give you any illusions?”
“No!” Xie Linchuan answered firmly.
“Did I tell you to chase after me?”
“No!”
Shen Tianxing immediately turned to Xia Airou, who looked a bit embarrassed.
“See, little sister? There shouldn’t be any misunderstanding!”
“But sister, you’ve been spending a lot of time with Brother Xie lately!”
Shen Tianxing: Calling him ‘Brother Xie’ over and over—are you trying to make me sick?
“What? Just because she spends time with Xie Linchuan, there must be something going on? Well, at noon, you were clinging sweetly to your future brother-in-law as you walked into West Tulanxia Restaurant to eat! Does that mean something’s going on between you and your brother-in-law too?”
Before Yan Chuang could stop her, Gu Letong stood up and started confronting Xia Airou.
“Don’t talk nonsense!” Xia Airou clearly panicked for a moment.
“Am I talking nonsense?”
Gu Letong strode over to Shen Jianlin. Yan Chuang tried to hold her back from behind but couldn’t restrain the bold woman’s impulse.
Gu Letong played a video on her phone for Shen Jianlin. After watching it, his face darkened instantly, and he handed the phone to Fu Peng beside him.
“Jinyan! What’s going on here?” Fu Peng immediately turned to Fu Jinyan.
“Dad, it was a misunderstanding at noon. Uncle Xia brought Sister Airou to the company today to discuss the collaboration proposal. I originally planned to treat both of them to lunch, but Uncle Xia had something urgent and left first!”
“Airou happened to twist her ankle, so I helped her up. That’s when Gu Letong saw us and blew it out of proportion, making a big deal out of nothing!”
“You’re saying I blew it out of proportion?!” Gu Letong was about to explode!
Xie Linchuan glanced at Yan Chuang, who immediately understood.
He pulled Gu Letong into his arms and glared fiercely at Fu Jinyan.
“Fu Jinyan, you’d better watch your words. Who do you think you are, accusing my wife of making a big deal out of nothing?”
“The video is right here. If you have nothing to hide, just explain it clearly. Why accuse my wife of exaggerating?”
Yan Chuang turned and gently rubbed Gu Letong’s head, his sharp tone instantly softening into a gentle one.
“Don’t be angry, sweetheart. Go back to your seat, and I’ll peel some shrimp for you.”
Gu Letong: Aren’t you overacting a bit!!!
Yan Chuang: For my bro, I’m going all out! Once tomorrow’s over, I’m staying far away from this woman!!
Xie Linchuan: Damn, you’ve got potential! Performing so well—I should go propose to the Gu family on your behalf!
Shen Tianxing: The acting is so natural, I can’t help but ship them!
Shen Tianhe & Shen Tianchen: What kind of weird couple is this? Am I out of touch with reality?
Yan Chuang coaxed and persuaded Gu Letong back to her seat. Just then, the green tea act made a comeback.
Xia Airou looked at Shen Tianxing with a pitiful expression and said:
“Sister, you’ve really misunderstood me. There’s absolutely nothing going on between me and Brother Jinyan!”
Shen Tianxing, who had originally wanted to let things slide, felt provoked by that “absolutely nothing” and decided it was time to go all out!
The best way to deal with a green tea act is to leave her with nowhere to go!!Shen Tianxing instantly linked arms with Fu Jinyan and glanced at Xia Airou.
“Good thing this is a family banquet with no outsiders, otherwise your constant ‘Brother Jinyan’ might make people misunderstand!”
“Just now it was ‘Brother Xie,’ and now it’s ‘Brother Jinyan.’ Little sister sure has a lot of brothers!”
“Sister, you’re not getting upset over a simple address, are you? You never used to be this petty! I’m young, so calling them ‘brother’ is just a respectful term!” Xia Airou quickly explained.
“Jinyan!” Shen Tianxing suddenly turned to Fu Jinyan beside her.
“What is it, sweetheart?” Fu Jinyan looked at Shen Tianxing with deep affection.
“You seem to really enjoy her calling you ‘brother’!”
“Not at all. She’s your sister, after all!”
“If she’s my sister, shouldn’t she call you ‘brother-in-law’? If she calls you ‘brother,’ then what should I call you?”
Fu Jinyan gently pinched Shen Tianxing’s cheek.
“Sweetheart, starting tomorrow, you’ll be calling me ‘husband’!”
Xie Linchuan: Shen Tianxing, keep acting! I’m taking notes in my little book!!!
Gu Letong couldn’t stand watching anymore. This kind of tense standoff was unbearable. She knew the Shen brothers and Xie Linchuan were staying silent to save their big moves for tomorrow!
Moreover, she could tell Shen Tianxing was being very cautious while confronting this despicable pair—simply put, she couldn’t expose their vile deeds right now!
As for the four stern-faced elders, Gu Letong knew Shen’s parents were definitely unaware of these matters, but Fu Jinyan’s parents clearly knew all about the pair’s misdeeds!
“Godfather!” Gu Letong suddenly looked at Shen Jianlin.
Her words instantly halted the bickering group.
“What is it, Letong?” Shen Jianlin managed a slight smile when he looked at her.
“Godfather, it’s like this—I think we’ve eaten enough for today. Don’t you have important matters to discuss with Boss Xie?”
“Besides, Tianxing and I have plans for the next round. You know she’s getting engaged tomorrow, so us girlfriends specially prepared a farewell-to-singlehood party for her!”
Shen Jianlin glanced at Shen Tianxing.
“Still going out to play?”
“Dad” Shen Tianxing’s coquettish tone was irresistible to any man in the Shen family.
“They’ve already made all the preparations. It would be rude to decline.”
Shen Tianxing suddenly turned to Fu Jinyan with a sweet smile.
“Can I go have fun with my girlfriends for the evening?”
“Of course! But don’t drink too much! And don’t be late tomorrow!!”
Shen Tianxing: You attention-seeking fool, you’re acting way too strange tonight!
Fu Jinyan: I want Xie Linchuan to see that no matter how impressive he is, the woman he likes is still by my side, Fu Jinyan!
Xie Linchuan: Childish fool, attention-seeker! I’ve slept with her—you think this kind of provocation affects me?
“I’ll drive you two!” Yan Chuang stood up.
He directly took Gu Letong’s hand, while Shen Tianxing naturally rose as well.
“Mom, Dad, Uncle, Auntie, I’ll be going now!”
“Shen Tianxing, don’t drink too much!” Shen Tianhe reminded her.
“Got it! Brother, I’ll call you after drinking so you can pick me up, okay!”
Shen Tianxing followed behind Yan Chuang and Gu Letong. The three quickly left the room and calmly walked out of the club.
Yan Chuang opened the rear door of Xie Linchuan’s Rolls-Royce and politely helped the two young ladies inside.After the car door was shut, Yan Chuang got in and started the engine. As the car began moving, Gu Letong immediately punched him from the backseat.
“You pervert, Yan Chuang! If you ever take advantage of me again, I’ll break your legs!”
Yan Chuang slammed on the brakes, jolting the car to a sudden stop. Gu Letong nearly flew into the passenger seat from the momentum.
“Are you crazy?!” they shouted in perfect unison, their voices and tones completely synchronized.
