Song Jiashu had rarely returned to China, and it was impossible for Song Qinian not to accompany him.
Shen Chi Yan, who had been stood up, was in a terrible mood, so he invited Gong Yuqi and Yu Sinian for drinks.
The three of them hadn't drunk together in a long time, and Gong Yuqi seemed quite happy.
He was currently enjoying his love life and had also filmed a transformative movie with excellent box office performance, making him a true winner in life.
Seeing Shen Chi Yan downing drinks like there was no tomorrow, Gong Yuqi raised his glass and smiled at him, "What's with the long face? Did you anger Song Qinian again and get kicked out of the house?"
The mention of this made Shen Chi Yan's expression even worse.
"As soon as Song Jiashu returned, all her attention was on him, leaving no room for me."
Hearing Shen Chi Yan's voice filled with resentment, Gong Yuqi and Yu Sinian both chuckled.
Gong Yuqi: "I thought it was something serious. So it's about your brother-in-law. I say, Fifth Master Shen, it's normal for your wife to go spend time with her brother who just returned. Why are you even jealous of your brother-in-law? Don't be so petty."
Shen Chi Yan thought of Song Jiashu's provocative gaze and felt extremely frustrated, "You don't know, that kid is a sister-complex. And after seeing me, he kept calling me 'Mr. Shen' and refused to even call me brother-in-law."
"Oh dear, children need to be coaxed. You shouldn't confront your brother-in-law; instead, you should try to win him over."
Throughout history, those who crossed their brothers-in-law or sisters-in-law rarely had good endings. How could someone as smart as Shen Chi Yan not understand this logic?
A word to the wise was enough. Yes, Song Jiashu was Song Qinian's brother after all. Why should he bother with that brat? Instead of constantly being at odds, it would be better to subdue him.
He didn't believe he couldn't even close a ten-billion-dollar deal, let alone handle a mere brat.
"By the way, what's going on with you and Liang Xiao? Isn't he straight?"
Gong Yuqi raised an eyebrow, "Straight as a die? He's bent all the way to Siberia."
Shen Chi Yan took out his phone and turned on the recording function, "Elaborate, my wife is very interested in your situation with Liang Xiao."
Gong Yuqi: "..."
Fortunately, Gong Yuqi was not one to hold grudges. He also wanted to share their love story with his friends and family.
Gong Yuqi was a persistent person; once he set his sights on someone, he had to have them.
The last time Liang Xiao misunderstood Zan Zan as his and Song Qinian's son, Gong Yuqi didn't contact Liang Xiao for a long time.
Firstly, he wanted to give Liang Xiao some space, and secondly, he was genuinely busy. Gong Yuqi entered the film crew and shot for more than three months. By the time he returned to Jinghua City, his skin had darkened significantly.
The next time he saw Liang Xiao was at a celebration banquet. Gong Yuqi was invited, while Liang Xiao was the cousin of the banquet's protagonist.
Every time Gong Yuqi saw Liang Xiao, he was either wearing a white coat or casual clothes. He rarely saw him in a suit, which, in layman's terms, made him so handsome that people couldn't move their legs.
Seeing that Liang Xiao clearly saw him but pretended not to, Gong Yuqi walked over to him with a glass of wine, "Dr. Liang, long time no see. I didn't expect you to attend this kind of banquet."
Liang Xiao's cousin was Zhou Zhizhi, a newly popular actress at Shengshi Entertainment. She was cute and sweet, perfect for playing sweet girl roles.
The celebration banquet was for her campus drama, in which she was the lead, that had become a hit. The crew and the company had organized it for her.
Zhou Zhizhi looked at Liang Xiao and Gong Yuqi in surprise, her gaze moving back and forth between them, "Cousin, you know Young Master Gong?"
Liang Xiao responded with extreme coldness, "Not well."
Gong Yuqi raised an eyebrow and said nothing.
Gong Yuqi was a celebrity in the entertainment industry, with many male and female stars eager to curry favor with him.
Normally, Gong Yuqi would smile and dismiss them. But that day, for reasons unknown, he enthusiastically responded to everyone.
He even displayed his WeChat QR code to others, inviting them to add him.
He was practically a social butterfly in the entertainment industry.
Some bold individuals even started slipping room cards into Gong Yuqi's pockets, their intentions quite obvious.
Such occurrences were commonplace in the entertainment industry.
The world said Gong Yuqi was lecherous and debauched, sleeping with everyone in the entertainment industry, regardless of gender. In reality, everyone had wronged Young Master Gong.
In reality, Gong Yuqi was still a virgin.
After a few rounds of drinks, an idol who had become popular through a talent show approached Gong Yuqi. He whispered something in Gong Yuqi's ear, and Gong Yuqi smiled ambiguously and patted his butt.
Then, the two of them left the venue, one after the other.
Liang Xiao's expression was grim. Zhou Zhizhi saw this and asked with concern, "Cousin, what's wrong? Are you bored?"
Zhou Zhizhi had only symbolically invited Liang Xiao to her celebration banquet, not expecting him to accept. But she was surprised that her cousin had actually come.
This was too abnormal.
Then she thought, everyone had their idols. Perhaps her cousin had a favorite celebrity whom he was too embarrassed to mention to her, and he came to the banquet to see his idol up close.
"No... I'm going to the restroom."
"Oh, okay..."
In the restroom.
The young idol, without a second thought, threw himself into Gong Yuqi's arms. He looked at Gong Yuqi affectionately, with a shy and cute expression, "Young Master Gong, I've liked you for a long time. I know you don't have anyone by your side right now. Can you let me stay by your side?"
Although Gong Yuqi was in the entertainment industry, his family background was incredibly powerful. With just a word from him, others could get any resources they wanted.
"Oh? What do you want to do by my side?"
When Gong Yuqi smirked, his cute little canine teeth would show, making him both alluring and irresistible.
The young idol smiled and kissed Gong Yuqi's finger, "Whatever Young Master Gong wants me to do, I will do."
"Is that so? Then..."
Before Gong Yuqi could finish his sentence, Liang Xiao suddenly walked into the restroom.
The young idol was instantly startled. After all, his public persona was that of a straight man. What if it got out that he was seen here with Gong Yuqi?
Gong Yuqi, however, remained unfazed and even raised an eyebrow.
As if he hadn't seen Liang Xiao, he smiled at the young idol and said, "You're really good at doing whatever I ask. However, I like that you're so obedient."
"Then... should we... should we go to a hotel? There are too many people here..."
"No, I like it here."
Meeting Gong Yuqi's deep black eyes, the young idol wore an expression of resignation.
Never mind, this person had been washing his hands since he came in and hadn't even looked at them. He probably wasn't someone who would gossip.
"Then shall we go to a private stall?"
Gong Yuqi curled his lips and gently pinched the young idol's cheek, "So shy?"
