    Ding Dong! Little cute, you have been captured by me! The proportion of Chapter V subscription is insufficient~ As the hostess of this banquet, she has been held by many guests since she entered the venue.

    But now, don’t know where a face-to-face young man appeared, not only to help her most annoying Madam Lou, but also to challenge her?

    Mrs. Zhao asked about Shi Yunnan's identity again, "Which young master are you? Who are your parents?"

    Wen Yibei on the side saw that the atmosphere was not right. Just as he was about to step forward to help speak, he saw Xie Keyue walking out of the group of guests, "Mrs. Zhao, this is my brother, Shi Yunnan."

    "He just came back from abroad a while ago, and you look normal." Xie Ke Yue walked to Mrs. Zhao's side and stood still, silently locking his eyes on the two brothers opposite.

    Wen Yibei's complexion was slightly lighter, and he slightly avoided the other's gaze.

    He didn't have much opinion on this Xie Keyue, who followed his mother into the Shi family and became the third young master.

    It's just that, as the elder brother, he will naturally favor his own brother.

    Thinking of Xie Keyue being held up to heaven in Shi's house over the past few years, Shi Yunnan was left unattended by them abroad, and he felt wronged for his brother in his heart.

    Shi Yunnan let out a short breath, as if he had expected Xie Keyue's appearance a long time ago.

    After all, he is the protagonist in the original book with a halo and everything goes well. It is indeed difficult to completely bring him down with a single ‘nightclub downfall’.

    "Shi Yunnan?" Madam Zhao muttered vaguely, and then noticed Wen Yibei beside her, and finally reacted completely.

    "Yes."

    Xie Keyue took the place of answering, his gaze shifted slightly to the jewels, and the nice scenes came as they were said, "I feel that this jewel is graceful and luxurious, and it is just right to match the temperament of Mrs. Zhao."

    Madam Zhao touched her jewellery necklace vainly, her expression hard to admire Xie Keyue, "Speaking of which, I would like to thank the third master and your mother for this birthday gift."

    "Mr. Wen knows music, Master Xie knows jewelry, just..."

    Madam Zhao deliberately glanced at Shi Yunnan's face, and changed her words, "Obviously he is a brother in name, why is the difference so big?"

    There was no mention of Shi Yunnan in these words, but he didn't save Shi Yunnan face at all.

    When people around heard this, they instantly understood

    It turns out that the jewellery necklace that Mrs. Zhao loved Youjia was given by Xie Keyue and his mother? These diamonds are flashing blind people, you know that the price is high when you look at it!

    The results of it?

    Shi Yunnan, who didn't understand jewelry, said nonsense, and even said that it was comparable to Madam Lou's small jewelry. He simply didn't know how to appreciate it and had no insight.

    No wonder Mrs. Zhao praised Xie Keyue and ignored Shi Yunnan's answer.

    "How do you say that the Shi family is considered a wealthy family, how did you develop such a second young master who doesn't know the quality of things?"

    "Second Young Master is nothing more than a title? Go and find out, Shi Yunnan is the one who was abandoned at all. Who cares about him?"

    "Hey, I'm embarrassed here."

    "Yes, anyone who is smart knows whom to speak to at this banquet."

    The guests ate melons and watched the play, occasionally whispering a few times.

    Shi Yunnan listened to these remarks without any embarrassment on his face. He shook the glass slightly, and even took a sip of wine in a leisurely manner.

    Wen Yibei, who was close, immediately stepped forward, and once again guarded Shi Yunnan, who was ‘targeted by the public’, behind him tightly.

    "Mrs. Zhao, Yunnan didn't say that you didn't say anything. You shouldn't and don't have the right to criticize him in public."

    Wen Yibei is a personable and elegant young man, who almost never has bad rapport with others, but Shi Yunnan is involved in this matter, and his tone is a bit tougher than usual.

    The implication is that there is a bit of an apology for Madam Zhao in turn.

    "Mrs. Zhao, Second Young Master Shi just kindly relieved me."

    Mrs. Lou also spoke, feeling uneasy.

    "He didn't mean anything from beginning to end, and he didn't deliberately dislike your jewelry as bad. Why should you target a child for no reason?"

    She only felt that Shi Yunnan was innocent, and was easily implicated in the fighting between their women.

    It was originally just a small friction between words, but as a result, the two sides came back and forth, coupled with the fanfare of the guests on the side, the situation suddenly expanded——

    Mrs. Zhao became more and more angry, and couldn't help but sneered, "Children? How old are you to return children? I asked, which guest would pick the hostess at the banquet?"

    Someone gloated again, "Mrs. Zhao, why don't you check the guest list again? I think some people can't even afford a formal dress for fear that they sneaked in because of troubled waters."

    "..."

    The pertinence of this statement couldn't be more obvious.

    Shi Yun's south side looked towards the source of the sound, only to realize that it was the young master Wei who had broken his mouth at the beginning.

    The other party was gagged by Wen Yibei just now, and has been unwilling to do so, but now it happens when the time is right.

    When Madam Zhao heard this, she suddenly remembered something.

    Although the banquet was arranged by the hotel, the guest list was personally selected by her and her husband Zhao Chengru.

    The guests invited to participate today have more or less impressions of her. Take these three nominal brothers as an example——

    Wen Yibei was the guest invited for the opening performance, and Xie Keyue received the invitation letter because of this ‘jewelry gift’.

    But the rest of the Shi family, especially the Shi Yunnan in front of him, are not in her invitation memory at all?

    "Go and check the guest list." Madam Zhao asked the waiter on the side.

    When these words came out, it was obvious that Shi Yunnan was completely ignored.

    Xie Ke lowered his eyes to cover up the joy in the depths of his pupils.

    The last time Shi Yunnan made him plant such a big somersault in a nightclub, today it was his turn to be humiliated in public and lost his face, he finally got a bad breath!

    Wen Yibei saw his brother being treated like this in public, and instantly blushed, "Mrs. Zhao, you..."

    "Brother, it's okay."

    Shi Yunnan squeezed Wen Yibei's wrist lightly to stop the other party from speaking for himself.

    He took two steps forward, his expression relaxed, "Mrs. Zhao, taking advantage of the waiter's effort to check the guest list, why don't you look up your necklace?"

    Mrs. Zhao wondered, "What do you mean?"

    Shi Yunnan glanced at the jewelry necklace in front of her and said fluently, "This jewelry necklace is named'hera' and it was created by two jewelry designers. It is the only one in the world, and its value- "

    "It's equivalent to RMB 50 million."

    When the guests heard the price, they took a breath of air-conditioning.

    It is understandable to buy luxury goods for myself at this price, but it is a bit too much to give it as a gift.

    Madam Zhao was faintly surprised, and Xie Ke unconsciously tightened the glass in her hand, always feeling that Shi Yunnan would say something unfavorable to him.

    "Although family ugliness cannot be publicized, everyone knows that the Shi Group had some financial problems some time ago, and Mr. Shi has always strictly controlled the property of our juniors."

    "Keyue, where did the money to buy the necklace come from?" Shi Yunnan looked at him with interest, "You mother and son spend so much money, do you know?"

    "..."

    Xie Keyue's face changed slightly and did not answer.

    Where does the money for buying the necklace come from? Of course it was using his own savings, Old Shi didn't even know about it.

    Some time ago, the nightclub was sealed up by relevant departments, and Xie Keyue was also taken back to the police station for investigation by the police.

    Fortunately, he had paid his attention when he became a shareholder. Although the dirty/dirty transactions in the nightclubs have considerable income, he didn't ask for anything, and he didn't even show up in such transactions at all. He just discussed the turnover of the nightclub with Lao Feng. More than a sum in the Ming section.

    Lao Feng had a good friendship with him, but he was somewhat greedy in his bones. He thought he took advantage and agreed.

    Now that something went wrong in the nightclub, Lao Feng's squat in prison was a certainty.

    And Xie Keyue relied on relatively clean sharing transfers to make sure that he didn't know anything about secret transactions in nightclubs, and he had a lawyer to clear it...

    After coming and going, got away smoothly.

    Xie Ke has a lot of big and small investments under his hands.

    The nightclub accident caused him to lose a stable investment share, Xie Keyue naturally needed to find another investment to make up for this gap.

    It happened that last month he spent money to acquire a small domestic cosmetics company that was about to go bankrupt, intending to use the famous brand of "Zhao" to sell the products of the small company and make a wave of quick money.

    Therefore, Xie Keyue bought such a jewellery necklace in an attempt to get acquainted with her husband, Zhao Chengru, the boss of the Zhao clan, through ‘please please Mrs. Zhao’.

    Of course, the guests present did not know what Xie Keyue's real thoughts were. They were called by Shi Yunnan a little, and they began to guess in a word

    "Yes, why do their mother and son still have free money to buy gifts for others?"

    "Come on, is the fifty or so million that the Shi family lacks? Maybe they just want to use the money for this jewelry necklace to seek financial support from the Zhao family."

    "Let me just say, giving such an expensive gift is definitely in demand."

    "You are not right." Shi Yunnan shook his head, the smile on the corner of his mouth became more and more careless, "Because this necklace is a fake, it is not worth 50 million at all."

    As soon as the voice fell, the gasp of the audience rang.

    Madam Zhao was startled, as if she couldn't believe it, "What did you say?"

    "Yunnam, what are you talking about, how can this necklace be a counterfeit?"

    Xie Keyue immediately followed, although his speech speed was a little anxious, but the confidence in his tone was still there.

    He did spend money to trust someone to buy it back from abroad, but the price was only a few million, not the high price that the other party said.

    Shi Yunnan didn't look at him straight, but fixed his sharp gaze on the necklace.

    "The real hera is composed of five hundred and twenty diamonds, and the outer periphery of ten giant pearls. The backing is made of 18k rose gold."

    "Each diamond above is the highest grade in terms of clarity, color or cut, which is why its price is created."

    Because there are too many diamonds on the same backing chain, it is very troublesome to make by hand.

    The reason why Shi Yunnan knows so clearly is that this real hera necklace is one of the works he designed and participated in.

    The authentic product is a private collection of a certain foreign female celebrity. The buyer's name is also engraved on the base, so it is impossible to easily change ownership.

    That's why he hesitated a little when he saw this necklace just now.

    "And Madam Zhao, the clarity of this one on your body is at most vs2 visible to the naked eye, but it is at the i, j level, and even the cut can only be called average..."

    Shi Yunnan didn't put it too hard, but it suffices to show that this necklace is not the best.

    Mrs. Zhao should not be a real diamond collector, plus the lights of today's banquet hall as a cover, so no one noticed it.

    For everyone, Shi Yunnan's remarks were too professional and fluent, which not only made it difficult for them to refute, but also believed that it was true.

    "Mrs. Zhao, I originally wanted to save you a bit of face, so I didn't say it at the beginning, but you don't seem to appreciate..."

    Shi Yunnan retracted his gaze and shook his head.

    "Even if it is a good copy, it is worth a certain price, but a fake is a fake, not as good as Madam Lou's diamond necklace."

    Shi Yunnan felt that from the bottom of his bones, he was not a good person in the true sense.

    If others don't provoke him, he doesn't bother to provoke others, but if others are okay, he doesn't mind hitting back and ruining the other person's face.

    "However, Madam Zhao is right. A pheasant cannot become a phoenix."

    Shi Yunnan slowly looked at Xie Keyue, revealing his sarcasm unabashedly.

    "Some people wear formal clothes in front of the rich and powerful young masters, but they don't necessarily have a bad bone."

    "..."

    Shi Yunnan's counterattack was so sharp, it was like a series of slaps falling down, and it didn't give people a chance to counterattack.

    The more Xie Ke froze, he didn't expect that the other party would cause him trouble in this situation.

    "No wonder I just looked at this necklace so familiar, I always feel like I have seen it somewhere."

    "It looks like the gloss is a bit worse than mine."

    The rich lady present was whispering, there was something gloating in the words.

    Madam Zhao is the most face-conscious. Originally, she was still laughing at Madam Lou's small-heartedness when she dressed up, but in the end she was pointed out by Shi Yunnan that she was wearing a fake diamond necklace?

    Afterwards, no matter whether the necklace was found to be true or false, it was enough to make her face down at this moment!

    The waiter sent to check the list hurried back.

    He watched the entire banquet hall almost freeze the atmosphere, and cautiously said, "Madam, I checked it, it's on the guest list..."

    "There is indeed no Mr. Shi Yunnan."

    The guests looked at each other, almost dumbfounded by the successive reversals——

    Oh my god.

    Dare to make trouble for a long time, Shi Yunnan really came in in troubled waters?

    Mrs. Zhao, who was feeling ashamed and angry, seemed to have grasped something. For the first time, she shouted in spite of her affection, "Come on, drive Shi Yunnan out of the banquet hall!"

    At the same time, a stern and eager roar came, "Sun Chengmin, you quickly shut up!"

    Sun Chengmin is Mrs. Zhao's real name.

    The real host of the banquet, Zhao Chengru, the chairman of the Imperial Chamber of Commerce, hurriedly pushed aside the crowd and hurried to him, his face was very ugly and uneasy.

    And what shocked everyone the most was that there was actually a figure at the entrance of the banquet hall——

    "Patriarch Luo? Why did he come?"

    "Isn't Mr. Zhao able to invite him? Isn't this a big face?"

    Luo Lingsheng controlled the wheelchair to slowly approach, and even the posture of sitting still did not affect Luo Lingsheng's shocking aura.

    The audience recovered from the initial exclamation and unconsciously turned into silence.

    Luo Lingsheng stopped at a distance of about three or four meters from the crowd, his eyes hidden under the lens looked closely, and he asked word by word

    "Who said that I would rush Shi Yunnan out?"

    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 Wei, who was caught upright, looked a little embarrassed at the moment, but due to 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 Wei 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, and put it short, "The old man intends to'sell' me to the young master of Luo's second room to marry me, so I ran away from home if I refused to do it."

    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.
