【Chapter 017】
The visitor wore a suit with a pure white background embellished with silver stripes. He leaned over with a glass of champagne, showing the charming taste of an elegant nobleman.
This person is Shi Yunnan's twin brother, Wen Yibei.
To outsiders, the two brothers are very easy to distinguish in appearance, and their temperament is also very different.
Wen Yibei is a noble and graceful son, with charming and gentle eyebrows, and an artist's unique elegance all over his body. Shi Yunnan's bones hide wildness and fierceness. Even smiling, it gives people an elusive indulgence. feel.
Wen Yibei stood still directly in front of Shi Yunnan, looking at the group of young masters and daughters on the opposite side, his tone was not serious, but his shortcomings were obvious.
"How Yunnam wants to wear clothes, then how do you wear them, do you need to make comments here?"
"Let's not say that he is the second young master of the Shi family, let alone the Wen family and me behind him, why no one loves no one!"
Young Master Chu, who was caught upright, looked a little embarrassed at this moment, but because of the identity of the other party, there was no way to refute it.
Although Wen Yibei and Shi Yunnan are twin brothers, their situation over the years and their current status achievements are vastly different.
My elder brother returned to Wen's house with his grandfather and changed his surname directly to Wen.
The Wen family is a family of music, Mr. Wen is a composer at the top level of China, and his three sons and daughters are also engaged in the performance industry.
The brothers' mother Wen Min was also a well-known pianist before marrying into Shi's family.
Wen Yibei was influenced by the family atmosphere and showed great musical talent since he was a child.
At the age of seventeen, he jumped and entered the most famous music school in the world. Later, he graduated with excellent grades and became a cello player.
He has won numerous awards internationally, and even held his own personal tour concerts, and he can be regarded as a man in the celebrity circle.
"Wei Shao, don't you plan to apologize yet?" Wen Yibei frowned and asked again.
Shi Yunnan silently looked at the maintenance of the person in front of him, and smiled silently.
The elder brother's temperament is more like their mother who died. In fact, he was a person who engraved gentleness into his bones, and he couldn't swear a dirty word even if he was angry.
Only in the protection of his favorite cello and his younger brother can he see his stubbornness and temper.
Of course, to Wen Yibei, the younger brother is always the most important.
If anyone dares to provoke Shi Yunnan, he can carry the cello as a weapon, even if he blushes, he will hit the opponent's head to vent his anger for his brother.
At the moment, this situation is obviously not suitable for continuing to discuss and belittle Shi Yunnan in front of this guardian mad demon.
Young Master Chu raised his wine glass in a nonchalant manner, "I, we just talked casually, I didn't mean anything else, I'm sorry."
After speaking, he took the lead to go far.
The wealthy young masters and daughters looked at each other a few times, and then left the rest area.
Wen Yibei saw that they hadn't attacked again, he secretly turned around with a sigh of relief, "I don't know how to refute it after being told? Are you so easy to bully?"
"Who's bullying? I was just preempted by you before I had an attack. Otherwise, I would definitely be able to make this group of people cry and cry."
The coldness in Shi Yunnan's eyes cleared away, and he smiled and asked, "Musician Wen Da, why do you come to this kind of banquet?"
"Call brother, no big or small." Wen Yibei corrected.
"Just because you were born ten minutes earlier than me?" Shi Yunnan replied casually, but he still recognized this title in his heart.
"Brother, long time no see."
The brothers smiled at each other and sat back on the sofa.
"We had a charity concert before soliciting donations. Zhao Chengru and Zhao always gave a lot of love. He invited me to be the opening guest..."
In order to thank him for his love, Wen Yibei saw that he could spare two or three days of free time, so he agreed.
Shi Yunnan came late, and the opening cello performance was over. Just now Wen Yibei planned to leave the main entrance, but happened to run into a scene in the rest area.
After Wen Yibei finished explaining, he frowned suddenly, "Don't patronize and talk about me, I still want to ask you."
"I only landed in Imperial Capital last night. I heard from my aunt this morning that Shi's family had financial difficulties some time ago? Did they affect you, sir?"
"Also, when did you return to China, why didn't you tell me?"
"You weren't busy on the band tour some time ago, I'm afraid these chores will disturb you."
Shi Yunnan remembered the bad news when he had just returned to China. To make a long story short, "The old man plans to'sell' me to the young master of Shi's second room to marry me. I refused to do it and ran away from home."
As for the fake marriage with Luo Lingsheng, Shi Yunnan didn't mention it for the time being.
"...Marriage?" Wen Yibei shook his head absurdly.
Over the years, the attitude of the Shi family towards Shi Yunnan has been seen in his eyes, which is really disappointing.
"Xiao Nan, where do you live now? If you don't plan to go abroad, why don't you follow me back to Wen's house?"
"Which Wen's house am I going back to?" Shi Yunnan interrupted him with a smile, "I didn't choose to go back when I was a kid, and it's even impossible to go to Wen's house now."
Wen Yibei mentioned the past, his expression dimmed a little, "You know, grandpa and uncle have always cared about you. They originally wanted to take both of us away."
Back then, Wen Min had a heart attack very suddenly.
It was a working day, and her husband and two children were not with her. She said she was uncomfortable after lunch, but when he heard it, Old Man Shi directly reprimanded her with a ‘hypocritical’ and blocked her back.
Wen Min endured the discomfort and went back to the house to rest, and it was too late when the servant found something was wrong.
Later, Mr. Wen learned that the last phone call the youngest daughter made before she fell ill was to her husband, and she was hung up if she didn't get through.
Later, they accidentally learned of Old Shi's indifferent ‘hypocritical’.
As a result, the two families collapsed completely without any surprise.
It took Mr. Wen a lot of effort to get the custody of a child. As a result, the two families began to fight for the ownership of the two brothers.
The Shi family wanted a more well-behaved and obedient Wen Yibei. The Wen family did not show any obvious intentions, but left the choice to the two brothers.
Young Shi Yunnan rushed to make a choice in front of his elder brother.
And Wen Yibei thought that his younger brother was inseparable from his father, so he also assumed the responsibility of being an older brother, and resisted and reluctantly returned to the Wen family.
Wen Yibei saw his younger brother not speaking, "Yunnan?"
"Brother, of course I know that grandpa and uncle treated me well, but don't you understand? The Wen family is now in charge of aunt..."
Shi Yunnan smiled as usual, without any dissatisfaction at all.
Their aunt Song Zhiqiu has developed rapidly in the musical instrument production industry. In recent years, Mr. Wen's body is inconvenient, and their uncle is busy with music work, so the power of the master falls in Song Zhiqiu's hands.
Song Zhiqiu has a son and a daughter, and his mother always favors his own children.
Although she didn't know what to say, she obviously didn't want her relatives and children to get a piece of the Wen family's pie in the future.
When Shi Yunnan was a teenager, he returned to China with his father Shi on his back and lived in Wen's house for a period of time, but he also obviously felt the secret exclusion of his cousins.
From then on, he didn't even want to make contact with the Wen family anymore.
In fact, Wen Yibei has not experienced this kind of secret exclusion, but he does not put this kind of thing on the surface, after all, grandpa and uncle treated him really well.
Wen Yibei knew his status and did not covet the Wen family's property. He had already planned to move out to live. Of course, Shi Yunnan was also considered in this plan.
"Yunnam, I bought two suites in Imperial Capital some time ago. One of them is for you. If you..."
"Brother, what do you do for me to buy a house with your money? Why don't you discuss it with me?"
Shi Yunnan interrupted him in tears, "I don't have hands and feet, I have to rely on you to feed me in this life?"
They all say that the eldest brother is like a father.
Wen Yibei is clearly the same age as him, but he keeps this matter in mind and considers his younger brother in all aspects.
"You really don't need to worry, I now..."
After Shi Yunnan paused, Luo Lingsheng and the little goldfish suddenly appeared in his mind, and the corner of his mouth hooked up unconsciously.
"I have a pretty good time now."
Even though his relationship with Luo Lingsheng will end in divorce one day, he can take advantage of this unexpected opportunity to make him feel the warmth of'home' for a while.
Really, very good.
Wen Yibei was planning to say something, and a female voice sounded in the center of the hall to the side, "Mrs. Lou, by coincidence, I didn't expect our tastes to be so similar?"
The conversation that sounds like ordinary is actually sharp and mean.
The conversation between the two brothers was interrupted, and they all cast their sights together—
In the center of the banquet hall, a graceful lady wore a black strapless gown.
Opposite her, there was a thin woman in uniform, who looked more elegant from her manner.
There were guests around whispering, "How dare Mrs. Lou and Mrs. Zhao hit her shirt?"
The lady frowned when she heard the words of others, "Zhuangshan? My evening dress was ordered by a foreign designer two months in advance."
"Mrs. Lou, where did you come from?"
In and out of words, they all alluded to the fact that the dress of the lady opposite was a ‘counterfeit’.
"Brother, who is that arrogant lady?" Shi Yunnan asked in a low voice.
"This is Zhao Chengru's wife and the hostess of this banquet."
Wen Yibei leaned in and whispered, "Their husband and wife have been married for almost 20 years. The cosmetics group currently managed by Mr. Zhao was taken over from his father-in-law. I heard that the current development momentum is leading the industry."
"Mr. Zhao has always spoiled his wife. Over the years, Mrs. Zhao feels comfortable at home as Mrs. Kuo, attending these occasions from time to time."
Compared with a relatively silent Mrs. Lou, Mrs. Zhao is obviously the central figure of the banquet.
Soon, other Kuo wives came forward to fan the flames, "Ms. Zhao, what does the zhuangshan have to do? After all, the comparison of the jewellery worn by this person does not show the difference?"
"Xiaomen Xiaohu is Xiaomen Xiaohu, how can it compare to you?"
"That's right, Madam Zhao, this necklace of yours today is so beautiful, it brightens your appearance a lot..."
Words of flattery and beautiful words made Mrs. Zhao feel airy in an instant.
An exaggerated inverted triangle jewelry necklace worn in front of her exudes a dazzling light under the lights of the banquet hall.
Gorgeous and rich, it looks expensive.
"It looks good? This is the only one in the world. I only received it last week. Someone sent it..."
When Shi Yunnan heard these bragging and ostentatious speeches, he moved his gaze to the necklace, and then withdrew his gaze, "It's weird."
As soon as the voice fell, a flustered high-heeled shoes rang.
Mrs. Lou, one of the parties involved, withdrew from that awkward situation and walked quickly to the rest area. Her eye sockets were slightly red, and she looked angry and helpless.
Wen Yibei and Shi Yunnan looked at each other. The former maintained a gentle gentleman's demeanor, "Mrs. Lou, how are you?"
Madam Lou was stunned for two seconds, then shook her head.
She seemed to be talking to herself, and she seemed to whisper to these two polite and friendly young people——
"This evening dress is a show piece. My daughter bought me a birthday gift when traveling abroad. Why is it a fake?"
Madam Lou smiled bitterly, "Forget it, I shouldn't have come to this kind of occasion where I stepped high and flattered..."
If it hadn't been for the company's sales to remain stagnant, she wouldn't have thought of coming here to meet people.
It turned out to be good. She was labelled as a ‘small household’ in front of Mrs. Zhao, the leader of the industry, and she was so ridiculed that she couldn’t lift her head.
Wen Yibei didn't understand the overt and secret fights between these broad wives, but only out of polite comfort, "Mrs. Lou, in fact, this dress suits you very well, elegant and generous."
Mrs. Lou thanked her and stroked the small and elegant jewelry necklace on her neck, still hiding a trace of loss in her eyes.
Shi Yunnan took a sip of champagne, and put her expression in her eyes, "Mrs. Lou doesn't need to care about the comparison words, just wear what suits her."
An evening dress embellished with diamonds, and then wearing large-scale jewelry, but can not distinguish the priority.
"Sometimes, expensive jewelry is not necessarily good."
As soon as the voice fell, the familiar and mean sound rang, "What do you mean by this? Is it possible that this jewelry necklace of mine can still be flawed?"
The three raised their heads at the same time.
Mrs. Zhao, who was originally touted by the crowd, didn't know when she came to the side of the rest area.
She should have heard Shi Yunnan's remarks, and her eyes of hidden dissatisfaction fell straight down.
"Mrs. Zhao, I'm sorry, I just mentioned it casually, not malicious."
"This evening dress and jewellery necklace also match you very well. You and Mrs. Lou have different temperaments, and naturally they feel different after wearing them."
Shi Yunnan got up, explained and apologized for the first time, and gave enough respect to the hostess of the banquet.
Madam Zhao did not relax her expression when she heard the words. She glanced at Madam Lou on the sofa, and her dissatisfaction continued to emerge.
In fact, there is still a hidden relationship between the two of them——
Mrs. Lou used to be Zhao Chengru's first love. Although the two eventually broke up, this matter became a thorn in Mrs. Zhao's heart.
Today's invitation letter was sent to Mrs. Lou deliberately, just to show off in front of the other party. She didn't expect to hit her shirt with the other party, but fortunately she was not robbed of the limelight.
"Madam Lou is really good at getting someone who speaks for you so soon? It's a pity that wearing fakes is always a fake and will never be on the table."
This sentence is really boring.
Madam Lou's complexion that had just stabilized hung again.
Madam Zhao didn't give her a chance to refute, and she looked at Shi Yunnan who was face to face. It was not kind, "Which young master are you? Do you know how much it is worth? Don't pretend to understand."
"Jewelry ornaments really depend on people, after all, a pheasant can't become a phoenix if you wear it."
In the name of preaching to Shi Yunnan, she was still expressing demeanor to Mrs. Lou.
It's a pity that Shi Yunnan never liked being used as a'gun' by others, let alone being innocent when he was recruited today.
Shi Yunnan stared at the jewels in front of Madam Zhao, with a subtle hint of her eyes.
He bent over and picked up the champagne on the table, and asked profoundly, "Oh? How did Mrs. Zhao know that I don't understand?"
