"Who says people from the Cheng Family aren’t worthy!"

A man’s voice rang out in the banquet hall, both unfamiliar and very familiar, causing everyone to look over.

"Jinshu!"

"Isn’t that Jinshu?"

"Ah! Oh my god! It really is Jinshu!"

...

Cheng Shujin appeared, wearing a simple light-colored suit, and slowly walked over from the crowd, causing a chorus of screams to erupt throughout the banquet hall.

He ignored everyone and walked straight toward Chi Youyou.

The screams were so loud that everyone turned to look.

Wei Yin, with sharp eyes, immediately pulled Song Shiyu’s arm, "Second Brother, there’s a man trying to take Little Sister-in-law from you!"

They were some distance from the scene and didn’t know what was happening, but they followed everyone’s gaze and saw Jinshu striding toward Chi Youyou.

"Isn’t that the film emperor Jinshu?"

Wei Yin was very familiar with these celebrities, while Rong Junyan next to him wore a confused expression.

Usually, the company affairs were enough to give him a headache; he didn’t have time to learn about this stuff.

However, seeing that Song Shiyu wasn’t angry, he was a bit surprised.

"Old Second, aren’t you worried?"

Song Shiyu didn’t respond but just gave a small smile, lifted his glass, and clinked it with the other two, "Come on, let’s go enjoy the show."

Enjoy the show?

Wei Yin frowned, as if he didn’t expect this twist.

"But...Big Brother, Second Brother isn’t going to lay hands on that male celebrity, is he!"

He was a bit anxious, "That person seems to be the eldest young master of the Cheng Family! A fight might end badly..."

Rong Junyan raised an eyebrow, "He’s actually the eldest son of the Cheng Family? From M Country?"

"Yes!"

Wei Yin nodded.

The Cheng Family in the Imperial City was just a branch; the main base was in M Country.

Those who knew the situation understood this well.

Most people thought the Cheng Family was in decline, gradually fading from the view of the Imperial City, not realizing they were developing international industries in M Country, with the Imperial City just a branch point.

It’s entirely possible that the entire family might move back to the Imperial City someday.

The two quickened their pace to follow.

On the other side, Fang Yifei and Nan Zhi also heard the commotion.

A few noblewomen following them excitedly exclaimed, "Miss Fang, your surprise truly is a huge surprise! Jinshu, the male idol, is here!"

"Yeah, who would have thought he’d come! My gosh!"

"No, no, I need to get Jinshu’s autograph!"

...

The group talked as they jogged over, completely disregarding their noblewoman image.

"What’s the relationship between Jinshu and Chi Youyou?"

Nan Zhi knew Jinshu would come, but what’s going on now?

Fang Yifei shook her head, "Could it be he knows that Chi Youyou is Youzi, and that’s why he’s helping?"

"Impossible, even if he knew, he wouldn’t help; their relationship isn’t that strong."

She had deliberately inquired, and Jinshu and Youzi interacted only in front of the camera on set and hardly interacted when the cameras weren’t rolling.

"Let’s go take a look."

Rather than making wild guesses here, it’s better to check it out in person!

Cheng Shujin originally didn’t want to attend the party today, but after hearing Chi Youyou would be there, he decided to come over and take a look.

"Jin... Jinshu!"

Fang Jingxi almost jumped for joy upon seeing Cheng Shujin!

This is the true male idol!

But seeing him standing by Chi Youyou, she was puzzled, what Cheng Family people?

What’s the connection between Chi Youyou and Jinshu?

"Jinshu, my idol, did you mistake her? She’s Chi Youyou, just a wild village girl from the countryside, not a Cheng Family person."

The woman standing next to Fang Jingxi, aiming to impress Jinshu, bravely spoke up.

If she got lucky, after all, it was Jinshu!

Fang Jingxi disliked her friend’s interruption, but at the moment, she also eagerly awaited an answer.

Cheng Shujin glanced at everyone, then pulled Chi Youyou over with a cold laugh, "Looks like we’ve been away from the country for too long, to be mistaken as people from the countryside."

"Cheng Family?"

Many were puzzled, while only a few realized, Jinshu was just his stage name!

His real name is Cheng Shujin!

The eldest young master of the Cheng Family!

"But... but her surname is Chi..."

Fang Jingxi was a bit flustered but voiced her doubt.

"Yeah, and she never claimed to be from the Cheng Family, is there a misunderstanding here?"

"Misunderstanding?"

Cheng Shujin laughed coldly, "Sorry, it’s not our Cheng Family’s habit to brag about our lineage."

As his words fell, many gasped in shock.

So, Chi Youyou wasn’t just some simple countryside person!

She had the Cheng Family behind her!

"This... this can’t be! How could a mud-legged girl like her be part of the Cheng Family! She’s clearly from Phoenix Mountain!"

Fang Jingxi wouldn’t believe it.

How could someone from the remote village of Phoenix Mountain be from the Cheng Family!

Was Jinshu just helping her out because she was pretty?

"Yeah, I remember hearing a country girl from Phoenix Mountain got involved with Mr. Song!"

"Right, I remember too, she came from Phoenix Mountain, nothing to do with the Cheng Family."

"Exactly, she’s a student from our university’s Agricultural College, and she herself said she’s from Phoenix Mountain!"

...

The hall was filled with discussions, and Chi Youyou naturally heard them, finding it somewhat amusing.

They remembered these things quite clearly.

As she was waiting to see how Cheng Shujin would introduce her, she suddenly heard Cheng Shujin say:

"Did none of you know Phoenix Mountain is our Cheng Family’s ancestral property?"

Ancestral property...

Not only was everyone in the hall shocked, but Chi Youyou herself was also stunned!

What did it mean?

"My grandpa gave the entire Phoenix Mountain to my aunt as a part of her dowry, so it’s perfectly fine for my little cousin to say she’s from Phoenix Mountain."

As he spoke, he shrugged.

Very few people knew this, but their direct family knew well. Though the old man was angry back then, he still gave her a dowry.

Even though it was just an unremarkable mountain, and the development in that area was backward, the least valuable of all family assets.

But compared to others, it was different, it was still a mountain, and recently, it was being developed!

The Song Family!

Ah, this...

This connects it all!

An alliance between the Song Family and the Cheng Family!

The Song Family wants to develop Phoenix Mountain substantially... everything made sense!

Damn it!

I need a moment!

Chi Youyou listened to the chaotic chatter around her, fixing her gaze on Cheng Shujin’s smug face, and resisted the urge to hit him, confirming he was telling the truth.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t show such a proud expression, blatantly flaunting his family’s wealth!

A casual dowry that was a whole mountain~

So!

The mountain really did belong to her family!
