Fake Husband of the Glamorous CEO-Chapter 18 - 0: Feng, what are you doing here?

In Liu Jin’s group, besides Ye Wei and Nie Yun, there were also two others whose fathers worked in the city bureau, known as Mr. Quan.

Beyond that, Guo Yunfan, the grandson of Jiangcheng’s local richest Guo Family, and others were present as well.

When the seven or eight people pushed open Lin Yu’s private room, they saw some singing, others playing dice, and the atmosphere was lively.

Zhao Xinming and Lin Yu, upon seeing a group of uninvited guests entering, were first shocked, but after recognizing Liu Jin and his crew, they became ecstatic.

"Mr. Liu, Mr. Ye, Mr. Nie," both of their sobriety seemed to instantly return, and they became even more excited.

"The princess said you guys took the tab for us, we’ve come to say thanks," Liu Jin said with a smile as he approached.

Lin Yu smiled, "No need to be formal, Mr. Liu, the tab was picked up by my brother-in-law, Mr. Xu."

He called Xu Dong over, "Brother-in-law, let me introduce you, the son of one of the top three in the city, Mr. Liu."

A flicker of displeasure passed through Zhao Xinming’s eyes.

He had underestimated Lin Yu, not expecting him to have Xu Dong ready to pick up the tab for the next room as a backup plan!

If you can’t get things done with you, Lin Yu would try to see if Xu Dong could work things out with the city.

Liu Jin shook hands with Xu Dong.

Xu Dong greeted him with excitement, "Mr. Liu, hello."

Liu Jin said, "We’re going to head back now, so we won’t join you for drinks, but let’s all have a toast together."

Upon hearing Liu Jin’s words, Zhao Xinming inwardly scoffed at Lin Yu.

Thinking of bypassing me? You’d have to see if you even catch Mr. Liu’s eye!

Guo Yunfan and others with Liu Jin naturally went to pour drinks, each holding a glass, ready for the toast.

Sitting on a sofa in a corner, Gu Feng had a cigarette in one hand and was scrolling through the news on his phone, not paying attention to the comings and goings around him.

Yet amidst the atmosphere of everyone standing up and gathering for a toast, his indifference seemed out of place.

It wasn’t that Gu Feng was putting on airs; he simply hadn’t noticed everyone toasting.

Several of Liu Jin’s friends frowned upon seeing this.

Including Zhao Xinming, who thought to himself that he was only giving face to Gu Feng because of Lin Yue, but wasn’t this guy taking himself too seriously?

Daring to show attitude in front of Mr. Liu and others?

You must not know that even your wife Lin Yue wouldn’t dare to act so pretentious, right?

Not to mention anything else, but Guo Yunfan has behind him the local capital’s business association. Lin Yue’s business rank and personal wealth both lag far beyond the top hundred, compared to the Guo Family with assets in the hundreds of billions?

Ye Wei’s eyes followed the discordant scene, and then his pupils dilated as he blurted out, "Feng, why are you here?"

Only then did Gu Feng subconsciously look up and saw Ye Wei and Nie Yun, which also surprised him for a moment, "Why are you two here?"

Ye Wei and Nie Yun both smiled.

The surprise was unmistakable on their faces, and without bothering to hide it, they set down their glasses and took seats beside Gu Feng, one on each side.

"We were also drinking in the next room. We had booked a private room tonight to invite you, but you didn’t show," Ye Wei said with a touch of grievance.

Earlier, when Lin Yu went to propose a toast, he clearly saw that even Liu Jin was deferential to Ye Wei and Nie Yun.

But he hadn’t expected that these two knew his brother-in-law so well?

And Gu Feng’s next comment to Ye Wei left everyone at a loss for words.

"How did you two get so fat, like pigs?"

People who knew Ye Wei and Nie Yun twitched.

But instead of getting angry, Ye Wei and Nie Yun grinned and said, "Been eating good food every day, couldn’t control the weight."

Indeed, they had both gained a lot more weight than before.

Rushing to explain to the puzzled onlookers, Ye Wei introduced, "This is the brother I mentioned to you, Gu Feng."

Liu Jin immediately greeted with a smile, "Hello, Feng."

His family had always been on the periphery of Jingbei circles, and he had grown up playing with Ye Wei’s group of third-generation Jingbei elites, which left him deeply in awe of the courtyard-born authority figures.

You just need to lick boots!

Gu Feng waved his hand nonchalantly and then turned to ask Ye Wei, "How come you two ended up in Jiangcheng? Did you do something foolish in Jingbei and couldn’t stay there anymore?"

"Not at all," Ye Wei began feeling embarrassed, then gestured toward Liu Jin with his mouth, "Times are tough, so we had to come and follow Mr. Liu around."

"Mr. Ye, don’t call me that; I wouldn’t dare claim to be Mr. Liu in front of Feng," Liu Jin said, half-amused, half in despair, as he quickly waved his hands and reintroduced himself, "Feng, my name is Liu Jin. My father is one of the top officials in Jiangcheng City. If you ever need anything, just let me know."

That was close!

Liu Jin felt embarrassedly relieved inside, thankful that he hadn’t made a bad impression on Gu Feng when he came to toast.

Who could have expected this?

The big shot that Ye Wei and Nie Yun kept talking about was just right here among this unremarkable crowd?

Liu Jin felt secretly pleased that he had stopped those internet-famous women from coming over to join the excitement and ’mock Lin Yue’s husband,’ which would have not only embarrassed them severely, but also indirectly offended Ye Wei and Nie Yun, along with the circles of bigwigs behind them.

Having dodged a bullet, he quickly poured himself a glass of wine and stepped forward with a bow to offer a toast.

Noticing that Gu Feng’s glass was empty, Ye Wei quickly poured him some liquor.

This action perplexed Lin Yu and Xu Dong even more.

Usually, it would only be them serving drinks to those present who warranted their sycophancy. Moreover, Xu Dong, experienced in social etiquette, noticed a detail.

When Ye Wei poured Gu Feng’s drink, it wasn’t to the brim, but deliberately only half full!

There was a subtlety to this: the person coming to toast was Liu Jin, a friend of Ye Wei, and his glass was full!

By pouring only half a glass for Gu Feng, Ye Wei was being disrespectful to the toasting party in terms of etiquette.

He wouldn’t have overlooked the feelings of his friend Liu Jin on this.

Unless Gu Feng was a superior even Ye Wei and Liu Jin had to fawn over. In that case, Ye Wei’s half-glass of wine signified two things: it saved face for Liu Jin and had Gu Feng drink less!

Xu Dong sneakily glanced at Liu Jin and sure enough, he saw that Liu Jin was not upset and still had a humble smile on his face.

Gu Feng casually picked up the glass and clinked it with him, like a senior speaking to a junior, "Are you also from Jingbei?"

Liu Jin took a gulp before nodding quickly, "Yes, my dad was transferred from Jingbei, used to mess around with Mr. Ye and others, playing with cars."

Gu Feng nodded in realization, only then taking a drink.
