The visitor was wearing a suit with a pure white background embellished with silver stripes, leaned over with a glass of champagne, and his gestures were full of the charming taste of an elegant and noble boy.
This person is Shi Yunan'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 elegant boy, with charming gentle eyebrows and eyes, with the unique elegance of an artist, while Shi Yunnan's bones are wild and fierce, even when he smiles, it gives people an elusive indulgence. feel.
Wen Yibei stood 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 shortness was obvious.
"Yunnan wears clothes how he wants to, so do you need to judge here?"
"Let's not say that he is the second young master of the Shi family, not to mention the Wen family and me behind him, why is there no one who loves and loves him!"
The young master Wei, who was caught, looked a little embarrassed at the moment, but because of the identity of the other party, he couldn't refute it.
Although Wen Yibei and Shi Yunnan are twin brothers, their circumstances over the years are vastly different from their current status—
My brother went back to Wen's house with his grandfather and changed his surname to Wen.
Wen's family is a musical family, Mr. Wen is a Chinese composer, and his three sons and daughters are also engaged in the performance industry.
The brothers' mother, Wen Min, was also a little-known pianist before marrying into the Shi family.
Influenced by the family atmosphere, Wen Yibei showed a very high musical talent since childhood.
At the age of seventeen, he leapfrogged and entered the most famous music school in the world. Later, he graduated with excellent grades and became a cellist.
He has won numerous awards internationally, and even held his own solo concert tour, making him a man of the limelight in the celebrity circle.
"Young Master Wei, aren't you going to apologize?" Wen Yibei frowned and asked again.
Shi Yunnan silently watched the maintenance of the person in front of him and smiled silently.
The elder brother's temperament is more like their deceased mother. In fact, he is a person who has engraved tenderness into his bones, and he can't scold a dirty word even when he is angry.
It is only in his favorite cello and the maintenance of his younger brother that his stubbornness and temper can be seen.
Of course, for Wen Yibei, the younger brother is always the most important.
If anyone dared to provoke Shi Yunnan, he could carry the cello as a weapon, and even if he blushed, he would smash his face on the other's head to vent his anger for his younger brother.
Under the current situation, it is obviously not suitable to continue discussing and belittling Shi Yunnan in front of this brother-protecting madman.
Young Master Wei raised his glass in embarrassment, "I, we just talked casually, nothing else, I'm sorry."
After saying that, he walked away first.
The group of wealthy young masters and daughters looked at each other a few times before leaving the rest area.
Seeing that they didn't fight again, Wen Yibei turned around with a sigh of relief, "I don't know how to refute it when someone says it? Are you so easy to bully?"
"Who's going to be bullied? I just got snatched by you before I had an attack. Otherwise, I would definitely make this group of people cry."
The coldness in Shi Yunnan's eyes disappeared, and he asked with a smile, "Musician Wen, why did you come to such a banquet?"
"Calling brother, neither big nor small." Wen Yibei corrected.
"Just because you were born ten minutes earlier than me?" Shi Yunnan replied casually, but he still recognized the title in his heart.
"Brother, long time no see."
The two brothers smiled at each other and sat back on the sofa.
"We had a charity concert to raise funds before. Mr. Zhao Chengru gave a lot of love money. 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, so he responded.
Shi Yunnan arrived late, and the opening cello performance was over. Just now, Wen Yibei was about to leave the main entrance, but happened to bump into the scene in the rest area.
After Wen Yibei explained, he frowned suddenly, "Stop talking about me, I still want to ask you."
"I only landed in the 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 with the band tour some time ago. I'm afraid these chores will disturb you."
Shi Yunnan remembered the bad things he had just returned to China, and made a long story short, "The old man planned to 'sell' me to the young master of the Luo family's second room to marry him, but I ran away from home if I refused to do it."
As for the fake marriage with Luo Lingsheng, Shi Yunnan did not mention it for the time being.
"...Marriage?" Wen Yibei shook his head absurdly.
Over the years, he has seen the Shi family's attitude towards Shi Yunnan, 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?"
"Why should I go back to Wen's house?" Shi Yunan interrupted him, smiling indifferently, "I didn't choose to go back when I was a child, and it is even more impossible to go to Wen's house now."
When Wen Yibei mentioned the past, his expression darkened, "You know, grandpa and uncle have always cared about you. They originally wanted to take us both away."
Back then, Wen Min suffered a sudden heart attack.
It was a working day, and her husband and two children were not around. She said after lunch that she was uncomfortable, but when Mr. Shi heard it, he directly reprimanded her with a 'hypocritical' and stopped her.
Wen Min endured the discomfort and went back to the room to rest. It was too late when the servant found out that something was wrong.
Later, Mr. Wen learned that the last phone call of the youngest daughter before she fell ill was to her husband, and she was hung up without getting through.
Later, they unexpectedly learned about Mr. Shi's indifferent sentence of 'hypocrisy'.
As a result, the two completely collapsed without any accident.
It took a lot of effort for Mr. Wen to get custody of a child. As a result, the two families began to fight over the ownership of the two brothers.
The Shi family wanted a more obedient and obedient Wen Yibei, but the Wen family did not show any obvious intention, but left the choice to the two brothers.
The young Shi Yunnan made a choice in front of his 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 forcibly reluctantly returned to Wen's house.
…
Wen Yibei saw that his brother didn't speak, "Yunnan?"
"Brother, of course I know that my grandfather and uncle treat me well, but don't you understand? The Wen family is now in charge of the aunt... "
Shi Yunnan's smile was still as usual, and there was no dissatisfaction at all.
Their aunt, Song Zhiqiu, has developed rapidly in the musical instrument production industry. Mr. Wen has been physically inconvenient these years, and their uncle is busy with music work, so the right to run the family falls into Song Zhiqiu's hands.
Song Zhiqiu himself has a son and a daughter, and the mother always prefers her own children.
Although she didn't know what to say, she obviously didn't want her relatives and children to get a share of the Wen family in the future.
When Shi Yunnan was in his teens, he returned to China with Mr. Shi behind his back and lived in Wen's house for a period of time, but he also clearly felt the secret exclusion of his cousins.
From then on, he didn't even want to communicate more with the Wen family.
In fact, Wen Yibei has not suffered from this kind of secret exclusion, but he doesn't put this kind of thing on the surface, after all, his grandfather and uncle treat him really well.
Wen Yibei knew his status and did not covet the property of the Wen family, so he planned to move out early. Of course, Shi Yunnan was also considered in this plan.
"Yunnan, I bought two suites in Dijing some time ago, one of which is for you, if you..."
"Brother, why did you buy me a house with your money? Why didn't you discuss it with me?"
Shi Yunnan interrupted him dumbfoundedly, "It's not that I have no hands or feet, I have to rely on you to support me in this life?"
They say the elder brother is like a father.
Wen Yibei was clearly the same age as him, but he kept it in his heart and took into account his younger brother in every aspect.
"You really don't have to worry, I'm now..."
Shi Yunnan paused, the figure of Luo Lingsheng and the little goldfish suddenly appeared in his mind, and the corner of his mouth tickled up unconsciously.
"I'm doing pretty well now."
Even if his relationship with Luo Lingsheng will end in divorce sooner or later, he can use this sudden contract opportunity to let him briefly feel the temperature of 'home'.
Really good.
Wen Yibei was about to say something, when a female voice sounded in the center of the hall, "Mrs. Lou, what a coincidence, didn't expect our tastes to be so similar?"
What sounds like a normal conversation is actually a bit sharp and mean.
The conversation between the two brothers was interrupted, and they both cast their gazes—
In the center of the banquet hall, a plump lady was wearing a black off-shoulder dress.
On the opposite side of her, stood a thin woman who was uniformly dressed, looking more elegant from her demeanor.
There were guests around who whispered, "How dare Mrs. Lou dare to bump into Mrs. Zhao?"
The lady frowned unhappily when she heard the words of others, "Zhuangshan? I ordered this evening dress from a foreign designer two months in advance."
"Mrs. Lou, where did you come from?"
Inside and outside the words, they are alluding to the opposite lady's dress as a 'fake'.
"Brother, who is that arrogant lady?" Shi Yunan asked in a low voice.
"This is Zhao Chengru's wife and the hostess of this banquet."
Wen Yibei leaned in and whispered, "The couple have been married for almost 20 years. The cosmetics group that Mr. Zhao now manages was taken over from his father-in-law. I heard that the current development momentum is leading the industry."
"Mr. Zhao has always doted on his wife. In recent years, Mrs. Zhao has been at home as a rich wife and attended these occasions from time to time."
Compared with a more silent Mrs. Lou, Mrs. Zhao is obviously the core figure of this banquet.
Soon, other rich wives came forward to fan the flames, "Mrs. Zhao, what does it have to do with the shirt? After all, if you compare the jewelry you wear, won't it show the difference?"
"A small household is a small household, how can you compare to you?"
"That's right, Mrs. Zhao, your necklace is so beautiful today, it brightens your face a lot..."
The flattery and the beautiful words one after another made Mrs. Zhao feel fluttering in an instant.
An exaggerated inverted triangle jewelry necklace she wore in front of her radiated dazzling light under the banquet hall lights.
Gorgeous and rich, it looks expensive.
"It looks good, right? There's only one in the whole world, I just received it last week, someone else sent it..."
When Shi Yunnan heard these flamboyant and ostentatious remarks, he shifted his gaze to the necklace, and then withdrew his gaze, "It's strange."
As soon as the voice fell, a panicked sound of high heels rang out.
Mrs. Lou, one of the parties involved, pulled away from that embarrassing situation and walked quickly to the rest area. Her eyes were slightly red, and she looked angry and helpless.
Wen Yibei and Shi Yunan looked at each other, the former maintained a gentle gentleman's demeanor, "Mrs. Lou, are you okay?"
Mrs. Lou was stunned for two seconds, then shook her head.
She seemed to be talking to herself and whispering to these two polite and friendly young men—
"This evening dress is a show style. My daughter bought me a birthday present when she was traveling abroad. Why is it a fake?"
Mrs. Lou smiled bitterly, "Forget it, I shouldn't have come to this kind of occasion where the high and the low..."
If it weren't for the company's stagnant sales, she wouldn't have thought of coming here to meet people.
The result was good. In front of Mrs. Zhao, who was a leader in the same industry, she was labeled as a 'small family', and she was completely ridiculed to the point where she couldn't lift her head.
Wen Yibei didn't understand the open and secret battles between these rich ladies, but only out of polite comfort, "Mrs. Lou, in fact, this dress is especially suitable for you, elegant and generous."
Mrs. Lou thanked her and stroked the small and elegant jewelry necklace around her neck, with a trace of loss hidden in her eyes.
Shi Yunnan took a sip of champagne and took a look at her expression, "Mrs. Lou doesn't need to care about those words of comparison, just wear something that suits you."
An evening dress with diamonds on its own, and then wearing large jewelry, can't tell the priority.
"Sometimes expensive jewelry isn't necessarily good."
As soon as the words fell, the familiar mean voice sounded, "What do you mean by this? Is it possible that this jewelry necklace of mine can still be flawed?"
The three looked up at the same time.
Mrs. Zhao, who was still touted by the crowd, did not know when she came to the edge of the rest area.
She should have heard Shi Yunnan's remarks, and her eyes with hidden dissatisfaction fell straight down.
"Mrs. Zhao, I'm sorry, I just mentioned it casually, without any malice."
"This evening dress and jewelry necklace are also very suitable for you. You and Mrs. Lou have different temperaments, so you will naturally 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.
When Mrs. Zhao heard the words, she did not relax her expression. She glanced at Mrs. Lou on the sofa, and her dissatisfaction continued to emerge.
In fact, there is a secret relationship between the two-
Mrs. Lou was once Zhao Chengru's first love. Although the two eventually broke up, this incident became a thorn in Mrs. Zhao's heart.
Today's invitation letter was sent to Mrs. Lou on purpose, just to show off herself in front of the other party. I didn't expect to bump into the other party's shirts.
"Mrs. Lou is really good at getting someone to speak for you so quickly? It's a pity that wearing a fake is always a fake and will never be on the stage."
This sentence is really annoying.
Mrs. Lou's face that had just stabilized hung down again.
Mrs. Zhao didn't give her a chance to refute, and looked at Shi Yunan, who was facing raw, not being kind. "Which family's young master are you? Do you know how much it is worth? Don't pretend to understand."
"Jewelry really depends on people. After all, a pheasant can't become a phoenix."
In the name of preaching to Shi Yunnan, she was actually expressing her disdain for Mrs. Lou.
It's a pity that Shi Yunnan never liked to be used as a 'gun' by others, let alone that he was really innocent today.
Shi Yunan stared at the jewelry in front of Mrs. Zhao, a subtle hint of subtlety appeared in her eyes.
He bent down and picked up the champagne on the table, and asked in a meaningful way, "Oh? How does Mrs. Zhao know that I don't understand?"
