Financial freedom starts with cracked apps.

Inside the Anle private room at Fumanyuan Garden.

With Chen Chang's introduction and greetings, everyone took their seats and learned about each other's identities.

The bride and groom, four bridesmaids and four groomsmen and their families, two wedding photographers, the emcee and makeup artist.

"First of all, thank you all for coming and for all your hard work in making my wedding with Ah Xin a success."

Chen Chang and Huang Xin stood up, raised their glasses to toast everyone, and smiled.

"I've been very busy lately, so please forgive me if there's anything I haven't done well in terms of hospitality. I also wish you all a wonderful time at the wedding."

"Of course, I would like to give a special introduction and thanks to my childhood friend, Brother Lin Shen Shen."

Chen Chang looked at Lin Shen, which caused everyone to turn their attention to Lin Shen and Qin Yuennan beside him, their eyes filled with curiosity.

“Shen Ge has been very busy with work lately, but even so, he still took time out of his busy schedule to attend my wedding and even served as my best man.”

"To be honest, it is an honor for me to have the founder of Shennan Company as my best man."

The founder of Shennan Company?

Upon hearing this title, everyone was filled with surprise and astonishment.

Even if some people don't know exactly what Shennan does, it is still a company!

Even in a small company, they are still self-employed and bosses, and their status is definitely not low!
Moreover, the fact that Chen Chang, the host of the banquet, would personally thank him on such an important occasion shows that Lin Shen had indeed been of great help to him.

Therefore, his identity should not be fake.

Of course, these are just speculations from people who don't know the inside story, but there are one or two people in the audience who know Shen Nan.

That pet brand that's been really popular lately?

Everyone was stunned. They never expected to meet the chairman of Shennan at a pre-wedding thank-you banquet!
Most importantly, he's so young!

Is he really?
Everyone was speculating, but no one dared to interrupt Chen Chang while he was speaking, as that would be impolite.

So he continued.

"Knowing Brother Shen is the honor of my life. Thank you, Brother Shen, and thank you to everyone here. I wish you all a happy life!"

After saying that, Chen Chang and Huang Xin drank their drinks in one gulp, and everyone else also raised their glasses and drank their beverages or wine.

After everyone was seated, Chen Chang began to encourage them to eat, and the conversation naturally shifted to Lin Shen.

"Brother Shen, you really are the chairman of Shennan!"

Seeing the astonishment and slight disbelief in everyone's eyes, Lin Shen smiled without saying a word, and did not immediately explain his identity, after all, that would be too undignified.

He simply put his arm around Qin Yuennan's shoulder and introduced his girlfriend.

"This is my girlfriend, Qin Yuennan. She used to be the marketing director of Chongyoujia, but she resigned to help me manage the company. If you don't understand anything, ask her."

"..."

Qin Yuennan was eating when Lin Shen beckoned to her. She immediately turned and glared at him, as if to say, "Why do you always use me as a shield?"

This trick is quite effective.

Upon hearing that Qin Yuennan's name ends with "Nan," and considering that Lin Shen's name ends with "Shen," everyone understood that Shennan was most likely founded by the two of them.

Moreover, Qin Yuennan looks like the aloof female CEO type, with a cold and distant demeanor.

Who would dare to strike up a conversation with her!
Therefore, no one dared to mention the matter again, which was a tactic Lin Shen always used.

She used Qin Yuennan's aloof demeanor to reject people, betting that others wouldn't try to chat her up.

And that is indeed the case.

After everyone fell silent, Lin Shen and Qin Yuennan began to enjoy their second Shandong cuisine feast.

The bride's four bridesmaids were immediately disheartened upon hearing that Lin Shen had a girlfriend.

After all, it's not easy to find someone you like who is not only handsome but also successful in his career, even the chairman of a company.

The chances of a rich, handsome, and successful man like this appearing in a small county town are about the same as the chances of a meteorite falling.

It's not even as likely as a meteorite falling!
Everyone was thinking of trying to talk to him, but it turns out he has a girlfriend!
This immediately deflated the four bridesmaids.

Their moral bottom line prevents them from contacting boys who have girlfriends, which reflects Huang Xin's values ​​and character.

After all, people associate with people of similar backgrounds.

After their curiosity about Lin Shen was piqued, the atmosphere in the private room became lively.

Everyone shifted the focus of the conversation to Chen Chang, the groom, since he was the host of the banquet.

Of course, this is also what Lin Shen is most happy to see.

After all, being socially anxious, he didn't want to be watched all the time.

6 PM, Yangyang High-Speed ​​Railway Station.

After the high-speed train pulled into the station, Gu Wanqing got up and prepared to take her luggage off the overhead suitcase.

At this moment, two or three male college students returning home offered to help her carry her luggage.

"Let me help you move it."

As a result, the fact that the three of them spoke in unison made the situation extremely awkward.

Upon hearing this, Gu Wanqing burst out laughing and thanked the three of them together.

"Thank you, I can do it myself."

"No need, no need."

One of the boys was quick-witted and helped Gu Wanqing carry her luggage down. After receiving her smile and thanks, he felt a happiness and joy he had never experienced before.

Immediately, the shy boy clenched his hands and mustered all the courage he had ever had to strike up a conversation with Gu Wanqing.

"Um... I think you're very pretty, can I get your contact information?"

"Thank you for your compliment."

Gu Wanqing smiled politely at the boy, her face showing a hint of apology.

"Sorry, I have a boyfriend now, so I won't add him. I'll be going now. See you next time, bye!"

Gu Wanqing waved goodbye to the boy, her charming appearance making him feel a little restless.

If Gu Wanqing had simply rejected him coldly, he might have felt a little better.

But the fact that she said goodbye to him so politely and warmly left the boy with a sudden feeling of emptiness and loss.

This type of girl is the easiest for boys to like and the most likely to be on their minds.

The same applies to the other two.

They had been keeping an eye on Gu Wanqing all along the way, since it was rare to see such a beautiful female college student.

Although the white dress she wore appeared somewhat plain, it gave Gu Wanqing a strange feeling of first love.

In addition, her stunning beauty, which is almost unmatched, and her well-proportioned features that look like they've undergone cosmetic surgery, have captured the hearts of most people.

If this is a completely natural face, it's not just one in ten thousand, it's one in a million.

This is why the three college students wanted to strike up a conversation with Gu Wanqing at the same time; after all, she was just too beautiful.

Unfortunately, she has a boyfriend.

that's true!
How could such a beautiful girl not have a shortage of male suitors?
The boys watched Gu Wanqing get off the bus.

After she skipped and hopped away from the high-speed rail station with her suitcase, her parents were already waiting at the exit.

"Dad! Mom!"

Upon seeing her parents, Gu Wanqing excitedly pulled her suitcase and ran over, then threw herself into her mother's arms with a big smile.

"I'm back!"

"It's good to be back. You must have had a long journey."

Chen Hui stroked her daughter's head, while Gu Zhiyuan helped carry Gu Wanqing's luggage.

Just then, Gu Wanting, who had gone to the restroom, slowly walked over from a distance. When she saw her younger sister return, she managed to force a smile.

"Qingqing, you're back." "Sister!"

Although he knew that his sister had a complicated relationship with Lin Shen, she was still his own sister.

Upon seeing Gu Wanting, Gu Wanqing went over and hugged her tightly, saying sweetly.

"I am back."

"It's good that you're back."

Gu Wanting's voice carried a hint of weariness and loneliness, even a sense of weakness and listlessness.

This made Gu Wanqing, who could tell from her tone, pause in surprise.

After all, in her memory, her sister was a particularly cheerful and lively person, whose voice always carried a hint of pride.

But now, her voice was so low that it seemed to make the atmosphere heavy. Gu Wanqing was puzzled and looked up at her sister with great concern.

"Sis, what's wrong? Are you sick?"

"Well, it's nothing."

Gu Wanting tucked her hair back and smiled wryly.

"I broke up with Cheng Yue."

"what?"

Gu Wanqing was startled.

"why?"

"Let's talk about it when we get back."

Gu Wanting clearly had no interest in discussing her own affairs with her younger sister. She casually took the bag off her sister's back and put it on herself, then walked towards the parking lot without looking back.

Seeing this, Gu Zhiyuan couldn't help but sigh.

"I told you she'd regret it sooner or later. Lin Shen is such a good person, why did she have to break up with him! What a mess this is."

"Shh!"

Chen Hui quickly gestured for Gu Zhiyuan to be quiet and slapped him to shut up, her expression extremely serious.

"Don't say anything more."

"They won't let me speak."

Gu Zhiyuan muttered to himself, then came to Gu Wanqing's side and smiled.

"Daughter, have you been in contact with Lin Shen lately?"

"Yes, I have."

Gu Wanqing said with a grin.

"I have a very good relationship with Brother Lin Shen."

"Yeah."

After a pause, Gu Zhiyuan suddenly spoke earnestly.

"Then you'd better get along well with Lin Shenchu..."

"Old Gu!"

Upon hearing Gu Zhiyuan spouting nonsense again, Chen Hui stepped forward, grabbed his ear, and sternly reprimanded him.

"What nonsense are you spouting now! Lin Shen is Tingting's ex-boyfriend! You want Qingqing to get along with him? Wouldn't that just create chaos?"

"What nonsense! Lin Shen didn't marry Tingting, they just broke up."

Gu Zhiyuan rubbed his bright red ears and analyzed the situation.

"Who is Lin Shen? He is handsome, has a good personality, comes from a great family, and is even extremely capable. He even started his own company and became his own boss."

“No one his age has his abilities! You’re not going to let such a good guy go? Are you going to let our Qingqing find an ordinary guy? I’m not willing to do that.”

"If you ask me, the only one who is good enough for Qingqing is Lin Shen."

"Keep your voice down! Don't let Qingqing hear you!"

Chen Hui gestured for Gu Zhiyuan to lower his voice, then glanced back at Gu Wanqing. Seeing that she was tilting her head and seemed unaware of what she was discussing with her father, Chen Hui breathed a sigh of relief.

However, after thinking about it carefully, she felt that Gu Zhiyuan's statement was actually quite correct.

First and foremost, Lin Shen's excellence is undeniable.

Among the young men of similar age to Gu Wanqing that Chen Hui has met in recent years, he is the most handsome.

none of them.

When Lin Shen was dating Gu Wanting, Chen Hui didn't think he was particularly handsome; he was just an ordinary guy.

I've even gained some weight because I don't exercise much at work.

But ever since breaking up with Gu Wanting, Lin Shen seems like a completely different person.

Not only did her physique become healthier, but her facial features also became more defined due to the weight loss.

It could even be called a symbol.

Overall, Lin Shen's appearance is acceptable to Chen Hui.

As for personality and family background, there's no need to elaborate.

Lin Shen's humility and enthusiasm during her last trip to Shanghai to visit Gu Wanqing are still deeply etched in Chen Hui's heart, making her feel a strong liking for this former boyfriend of her daughter.

Especially after hearing that it was Gu Wanting who initiated the breakup, Chen Hui became quite angry and scolded her in various ways.

But now, Chen Hui no longer dares to scold Gu Wanting, and even comforts her from time to time.

After all, given her current state, she might do something rash one day.

But to be honest, Chen Hui really does like Lin Shen.

If he were to walk with Qingqing, it wouldn't be a bad thing...

But I'm afraid Tingting might do something rash!
Chen Hui was now in a dilemma, and Gu Zhiyuan seemed to know very well what she was struggling with, so he put his arm around her shoulder and whispered something.

"This is Tingting's own doing, and she should deal with it herself. What we should do is not object and let Tingting and Qingqing develop on their own."

"Given Tingting's current state, she needs to vent in order to feel better; otherwise, she will continue to be depressed like this."

"Is that so?"

Chen Hui watched Gu Wanting's retreating figure in the distance, feeling a pang of heartache.

Gu Wanqing seemed to have noticed the change in the family atmosphere as well, and she also felt a little lonely.

After all, her family used to be very happy, but now it seems that her older sister has some psychological problems.

Let's ask him privately later.

Gu Wanqing made up her mind.

The four then got into the car, which was driven by Gu Zhiyuan, and the family began their journey home.

Gu Wanting sat in the back row, her right hand supporting her cheek as she looked out the window, her expression revealing a faint sadness.

Seeing this, Gu Wanqing wanted to ask her sister what had happened several times, but decided to hold back for now and talk about it when she got home.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward and dull, Chen Hui, who was sitting in the passenger seat, suddenly chuckled and made a suggestion.

"Qingqing, are you hungry? How about we go to a hot pot restaurant tonight? Or is there something else you'd like to eat?"

"I can eat anything."

Gu Wanqing secretly glanced at her sister beside her, then asked in a low voice.

"Sis, what would you like to eat?"

"barbecue."

Gu Wanting suddenly said.

"I want to drink!" (End of Chapter)
