Fake Husband of the Glamorous CEO-Chapter 19 - 0: What’s the story with your brother-in-law?

Chapter 19: 019: What’s the story with your brother-in-law?

After Liu Jin offered his toast, Guo Yunfan also picked up his glass, mimicking Liu’s mannerisms as he bowed and toasted.

Although he was a local from Jiangcheng, he was still unaware of Feng’s background at that moment, but seeing Liu Jin, the son of the city’s third most influential family not daring to act rashly, he followed suit.

"Feng, my name is Guo Yunfan, from the local Guo Family, and I’m honored to meet you."

In the private room, Xu Dong and his capitalist friends’ eyes widened.

Little did they know that the grandson of Jiangcheng’s wealthiest man was also there!

They had heard of Guo Yunfan of the Guo Family, but had never met him, and it was only after Guo Yunfan introduced himself that this group realized how influential this circle was.

Xu Dong was thrilled to meet so many top figures in one gathering and was curious about Feng’s origins, his brother-in-law.

"Damn, what’s the story with this brother-in-law of yours?"

Xu Dong’s business partners whispered in his ear in amazement, "Why did Mr. Liu and Mr. Guo toast to him?"

They were very curious!

For businessmen like them, who only reached tens of millions in annual turnover, Liu Jin and Guo Yunfan represented the highest echelons of power and capital in Jiangcheng!

To put it plainly, the leftovers from their circle alone could easily sustain people like Xu Dong and his friends.

Yet unexpectedly, figures with local clout like Liu Jin and Guo Yunfan also showed deference to Gu Feng.

They had previously interacted and chatted with Gu Feng.

Who would have thought that the quiet, reserved man in the corner would turn out to be ’Feng’, someone even the local heavyweights respected! 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Xu Dong responded as if to say, how would I know!

He, too, was curious about what made Gu Feng so renowned since his father-in-law, Lin Zhenyun, had mentioned he was just Lin Yue’s handyman.

It seemed that wasn’t quite the case.

It was definitely not just because of Lin Yue’s face that they acted this way, since Lin Yue’s influence was at best district-wide.

He could only look to Lin Yu, wanting to find out if he knew the backstory of Gu Feng.

Lin Yu noticed the inquisitive looks Xu Dong was sending him, thinking to himself that he was still clueless.

Seeing even those he had to curry favor with toasting Gu Feng, Lin Yu could not help but ask, "Brother-in-law, do you know Mr. Ye and Mr. Nie?"

Brother-in-law?

Ye Wei and Nie Yun looked puzzled at Lin Yu, not knowing about Gu Feng being Lin Yue’s husband, thus they were momentarily confused by this reference.

Before Ye Wei and Nie Yun could delve into gossiping, Gu Feng wrapped his arms around them trying to change the subject, "Years have passed and now you guys have moved to calling him Mr. Ye and Mr. Nie? Have you moved up in rank?"

Ye Wei and Nie Yun, like mice seeing a cat, hurriedly explained with a wry smile, "It wasn’t me, they insisted on calling me that."

Gu Feng snorted softly and turned to Lin Yu, correcting him, "Don’t call anyone ’Mr.’ in front of me, it sounds awkward. Just call them Ye Wei and Nie Yun, and you can call me brother too."

Lin Yu nodded in agreement.

Still curious, Nie Yun and Ye Wei asked Gu Feng, "Bro, why does he call you brother-in-law?"

Gu Feng lifted his glass, pretending to drink.

Internally, he pondered how to explain this situation!

He had honestly not expected to encounter Ye Wei and Nie Yun here, and this brother-in-law comment from Lin Yu meant he could no longer hide his relationship with Lin Yue.

After setting his glass down, he coughed lightly, "My wife’s cousin."

Ye Wei and Nie Yun appeared confused, "What wife?"

Feng is married?

How come they didn’t know?

As a future leader in the big courtyard, no matter whom he married, it was expected to be a grand affair within the courtyard.

But they hadn’t received any notification from home about it.

Could it be she was just a girlfriend?

"I’ve registered our marriage; she’s Little Yu’s cousin," Gu Feng explained. "We just haven’t held the wedding yet."

"Damn!" Ye Wei and Nie Yun’s eyes bulged.

The two immediately poured Lin Yu a drink, laughing, "Then we’re all family now, eh? Cheers!"

Lin Yu, overwhelmed by their enthusiasm, was inwardly shaken.

Even more shocked than him was Zhao Xinming!

Besides shock, there was also a sense of unease and panic in his heart.

Today, in front of this ’brother-in-law,’ he had taught Lin Yu a lesson, assuming the brother-in-law was just like the Lin Family, and he had ruthlessly made an example of them using Mr. Liu’s power from the city!

But it turned out that this person was beyond the city’s influential figures.

In other words, to him, all of Zhao Xinming’s actions appeared clownish!

Thinking this, Zhao Xinming dared not look at Gu Feng.

Ye Wei spoke to Lin Yu, "Listen to Bro Feng, just call me Brother Ye and forget the ’Mr. Ye’, it’s too formal for family."

Nie Yun added, "I’m like Old Ye, a younger brother to Feng, but older than you, so just call me brother too."

Seeing the two promptly drink their liquor, Lin Yu quickly joined them in a drink.

Then he glanced at Gu Feng, not foolish, reading from Ye Wei and Nie Yun’s attitudes towards him before and after that there was something to this brother-in-law’s backstory!

At that moment, Guo Yunfan, trying to liven up the atmosphere, said, "Why not drink a little more? I’ve still got plenty of liquor."

So much for just coming to toast and leave.

Forget leaving, meeting such big shots was an opportunity to be seized for effective networking.

Hearing Guo Yunfei’s suggestion, Ye Wei and Nie Yun went along, "Bring out all your good booze, don’t hide it anymore."

Gu Feng didn’t stop them from bringing more drinks to continue drinking, and he casually wrapped his arms around their necks, whispering a warning, "Don’t tell anyone in the courtyard about the marriage registration, if you talk too much I’ll smash your Supercar Club!"

He definitely didn’t want his mother, Yu Ling, to know about this yet.

After all, this marriage was more of a pragmatic arrangement and not to be taken seriously, and if he couldn’t hide it any longer or if his mother really pushed for a wedding, he could always bring Lin Yue into the picture to save face.

Nie Yun and Ye Wei shrank their necks, looking solemn, "Don’t worry, Bro."

However, Ye Wei curiously said, "Bro Feng, what about Sister Zhong in the courtyard? She seems to have always liked you, I thought you two would end up together."

A flash of sorrow passed through Gu Feng’s eyes, and he sternly replied, "What’s that to you? Just drink your drink!"
