Qin Mianxing knew the other person's identity the moment she saw him.

This is my sister's younger brother from before.

—The one who once took my place.

It wasn't until the other party revealed that meaningful title that the last layer of mystery was broken, and even the slow-witted Tang Yeli understood the other party's identity.

With wide eyes and an open mouth, they stared in surprise at this direction.

The fact that the two younger brothers were put in the same shot one after the other naturally led people to compare them.

She was good-looking, but not as pretty or as tall as me. Her face was very pale, and she had a pampered air about her. Her eyelashes were quite long, and when she spoke, her eyelids trembled, making her eyelashes tremble. Yet, she also looked somewhat pitiful...

Hehe, it's a pity that Qin Mianxing has experienced a lot and is no longer the same as before. She can tell at a glance that this is a green tea.

Whether his intentions are good or bad is another matter; further investigation is needed.

Even knowing he shouldn't think that way, the boy still thoroughly criticized his competitor with a critical eye.

And listen to that trembling tone, those restless eyes... Why did they suddenly pop out like that?

My older sister has already said that from now on she will only have one younger brother, and she promised!

The thought that he was now being pampered by his older sister made the boy suddenly arrogant.

"Don't shout," Qin Chaoyue said.

【Huh? I feel like I heard the exact same thing not long ago.】

Lin Jialang's mood immediately turned somber, and even his eyes lost their sparkle.

As the former fake younger brother, Lin Jialang's appearance is not as delicate as Qin Chaoyue's, but his eyes are dark and deep.

Such profound depths seemed perfectly natural on Qin Chaoyue, who now held great power, adding to her charm; but in the eyes of the eighteen-year-old Lin Jialang, the boy's eyes appeared far too complex.

Qin Mianxing's lips curled up slightly.

When his younger brother was "wronged," Lin Sheng, as the eldest brother, naturally had to stand up for him: "There's no need to say that. After all, the Qin family has raised Xiao Lang for eighteen years, and Miss Qin grew up with Xiao Lang and is even a few years older. She deserves to be called 'older sister' no matter what."

Qin Chaoyue didn't even turn his head, only glancing at him lightly: "You get lost too."

"..."

Lin Sheng's expression also turned sour.

"Hey--"

It was the woman who had just landed in front of Qin Chaoyue who spoke up, "Don't you have any manners? I was here first, don't you know the principle of first come, first served?"

This woman is truly exquisitely beautiful; she immediately stole the "fairy" aura that Xu Mucheng had been cultivating for so long. And then, the moment she opened her mouth—

【Oh wow~ The real deal is revealed】

Zhang Yuqi is definitely a spoiled rich girl.

Shi Wangyan also abandoned the two brainless duo behind him and came over to support his sister. At this point, the four new guests made their appearance in front of the camera.

It's just that Qin Chaoyue inexplicably became the center of attention.

To maintain suspense, the production team arranged for the new and old guests to travel on different buses. However, judging from Huo Mingyi and Xu Mucheng's reactions just now, if they really wanted to investigate, the guests would know something about each other to some extent.

Oh no, I don't recognize any of these new guests!

[Good news, this proves that the show has officially entered an era where only paid appearances are allowed, making it a highly exclusive platform for big spenders.]

Who cares, they all have nice faces, I'll lick them first!

【you sure? 】

[One of them was a little weaker, but his presence was still decent. I was thinking, isn't this show a breeding ground for domineering CEOs? It's like an assembly line, one tap, and another domineering CEO.]

[Jiang, the newly crowned domineering CEO, Ling Ye: You're right]

You should hold off on this for now.

[…Any gossip?]

Good guy!

This episode completely dropped the pretense; the moment the new guest stepped off the bus, the air was thick with tension.

Director Guo quickly cued the flow of the event: "Let the new guests start with a self-concluding speech, so that everyone and the special guests watching the live broadcast can get to know you."

"Lin Sheng currently manages several companies."

Oh wow, what they said earlier was right, another one of those domineering CEOs who does wholesale.

【strong】

[This time it's not just one company, it's several, and combined with his noticeably larger face compared to the others, it's a very reasonable numerical inflation.]

Lin Sheng continued, "This is my younger brother, Xiao Lang. Please say hello to everyone."

"Hello everyone, I am Lin Jialang, I am 18 years old and a student."

Lin Jialang's appearance is very deceptive.

Due to their different early experiences, Lin Jialang was undeniably more handsome than Qin Mianxing when they stood together, but most of the older generation would probably prefer Lin Jialang.

Because he has a kind face and a sweet tongue.

Lin Sheng smiled and patted Lin Jialang on the shoulder, just like a caring and cheerful older brother.

"For reasons that are well known to everyone online, Xiao Lang lived in the Qin family for several years before he was found and brought back recently. That's why he called Miss Qin 'sister' when they met just now. The two of them haven't seen each other for a long time, it seems like they haven't seen each other since the variety show started, right?"

"Haha, we usually watch this variety show at home. Xiao Lang watches it the most, and it's quite interesting."

[!! He lived in the Qin family for several years and even called my wife "sister"—isn't that just a fake young master? Good heavens!]

[You just realized? That guy named Lin Jialang almost tattooed "I'm a fake young master" on his face when he came out.]

Protect our Jiangling Wilderness!

【I'm not kidding, but there really are shameless people who would actually come looking for this?】

[I'm so sick of the fake heiress and fake young master storyline on Tomato TV. Luckily, Sister Qin is clear-headed and cut her losses decisively.]

Since it's these two people, then what about those rumors circulating online about Sister Qin...?

[Detailed Explanation]

Since Lin Sheng and Lin Jialang dared to go on this show, they must have made some preparations beforehand.

Lin Sheng was shrewd and calculating. He seemed to know exactly what the comments would say: "Some of the rumors circulating online are not consistent with the actual situation. The Lin family does not want to use force to silence public opinion. Therefore, we have not controlled online comments and still maintain absolute freedom of speech."

"Watch this episode, right here in this live broadcast, and we will give you the absolute truth."

Is this for real? It sounds pretty misleading.

Lin Sheng, at his age and having been in charge for many years, is much better at speaking and dealing with people than Huo Mingyi.

He did most of the talking, while Lin Jialang just stood quietly to the side, occasionally glancing up at Qin Chaoyue...

It's completely blocked by the stars!

Shen Wenyu suddenly spoke up: "Huh? This is your youngest brother. How many children are there in your family?"

“All three are my parents’ children. Xiao Lang also has a younger brother.”

"There are three boys in total..."

Shen Wenyu immediately turned into a gossip, "You know, being born into a family like this, with three boys in your family, won't you fight over the inheritance in the future? Your younger brother was raised by outsiders before, and as the last child to come... tsk tsk, that's a bit tragic. I've heard that some parents don't like children they bring back from outside, because they don't have any affection for them since they weren't raised by them."

That was somewhat unexpected.

Neither Qin Chaoyue nor her brother said anything, but Shen Wenyu jumped out first. Yan Huaishu, on the other hand, remained calm and indifferent, letting his nephew rush up and bite wildly.

It's understandable if you think about it.

Wasn't Jiang Lingye tutored under Shen Wenyu's maternal grandfather? With such excellent tutoring resources at home, Shen Wenyu might have also received tutoring there before, which would have created a bond of brotherhood that transcended generations.

"The Lin family is not so poor that they can't even afford to raise three children."

This clearly doesn't get back to the point; when it comes to sophistry, this movie star is definitely a master.

"It's not that you can't afford to raise them, but the more stuff you have at home, the fiercer the fight becomes, understand? In the countryside, people fight over a few measly things in a self-built house, so how can you expect to have such a huge fortune? Wouldn't you be ready to have your brains pop out?"

"The brothers in the family usually have a very good relationship, and the second brother usually takes good care of the youngest brother..."

"Hey, why can't I understand you? You can't judge this by everyday standards. Once your parents are married and all three brothers are married, your second brother might be nice to your youngest brother, but maybe he's just treating him like a pet? Playing with him is fine, but once he starts eating, drinking, and taking care of his needs, he'll find it annoying!"

"Little brother, you're young, so let me tell you, you still need to be careful. Things are different now than before..."

Seeing that Shen Wenyu's words were becoming increasingly outrageous, Lin Sheng's expression turned completely cold: "There's no need for the big star to worry about this."

“Alright.” Shen Wenyu seemed to have no other choice, and waved his hand. “I can’t explain it to people like you who aren’t only children—sigh, you don’t understand the happiness of only-child families.”

"Sorry, sorry, I've probably been reading too many online novels lately, I looked for the wrong source material for the script..."

Tang Yeli asked, "Is Brother Shen going to join a film crew soon?"

"Yes."

As Shen Wenyu spoke, he glanced at Yan Huaishu with a resentful look.

[I can tell, the golden retriever is venting its frustration.]

It's obvious that Shen Wenyu is siding with Jiang Lingye.

Based on my experience reading Tomato Novels, stories where the 18-year-old finally finds his true heiress/young master usually only have two endings—spoiled! They'll pamper him to the extreme! Or he'll be abused to death and his whole family will be cremated.

【Bro, this is reality, not a novel. There are still normal people here, okay? Like Shen Wenyu, your most urgent task is to uninstall Tomato Novels.】

Lin Sheng was unhappy with Shen Wenyu.

But considering the power behind Shen Wenyu, he didn't bother arguing with him anymore. Perhaps this was actually an instruction from that person.

Yes.

Since he began to focus on "dedicating himself," Yan Huaishu's online identity has become more transparent, and many people who have been exposed to him have more or less guessed what it is.

Lin Sheng patted Lin Jialang, who was looking in that direction again, and said, "Don't cause trouble for Miss Qin. There's plenty of time."

"Ah."

Lin Jialang was taken away just like that.

Meanwhile, after everyone had left, he patted his younger brother on the back, and the boy immediately straightened his back: "Well done."

Feeling triumphant! (〃'▽'〃)

—In the end, he won this battle for his sister's affections.

However, while she was happy, Qin Mianxing didn't forget to give Shen Wenyu a grateful look.

He wasn't stupid; he naturally knew that Brother Shen had just been standing up for him.

Shen Wenyu nodded smugly.

We're practically family!

Lin Sheng was really... wrong.

Shen Wenyu's decision to speak up was not actually authorized by Yan Huaishu; he figured it out himself.

On the one hand, he himself was an insider in this circle and knew more information. He genuinely disapproved of the Lin family's various practices and could distinguish between the real and fake young masters, and who was close to whom!

on the other hand--

Right now, my uncle's intentions are as clear as day. He's trying to build a good relationship with his future brother-in-law beforehand, so that if my uncle wants to beat him up, his brother-in-law can stop him first. He can also mention it to his sister when he has time, and whisper a few words in her ear...

This is a classic example of using a roundabout approach to achieve one's goals!

Win-win!

He won twice by himself!

After the Lin brothers stepped down, another group of new guests came on stage.

Shi Wangyan had a very superior appearance. He had a pair of narrow phoenix eyes, which were even thinner than Yan Huaishu's peach blossom eyes and looked more "harsh". When he narrowed his eyes slightly, people felt that he was thinking of some bad idea.

"Shi Wangyan is an idle and good-for-nothing. He is the second oldest in his family and has no interest in the family business. He has already planned to live off his older brother and his nephew when he gets old."

【? ? ? ? 】

[Damn it! He used all my words! This is the life I've always dreamed of!]

Immediately.

He took a step back, and the eldest daughter and little princess of the Shi family made a dazzling appearance!

Upon seeing her, Xu Mucheng's heart leaped into her throat.

When a new guest arrives for each episode, they have to stand in the middle at the very front and introduce themselves.

This is a custom.

However, not everyone is suited to that kind of center position, but Shi Mingmei is just right for it.

She stood there, dressed in an expensive, custom-made outfit that money couldn't buy. Her hair and makeup, which had taken an unknown amount of time to perfect, matched her entire outfit perfectly.

His whole being was radiating light, a light that was called money.

—Actually, it's quite beautiful.

This fueled Xu Mucheng's jealousy even more, but there was something else that terrified her the most.

Why did Shi Mingmei participate in this program? What if she directly revealed her relationship with Huo Mingyi...?

wrong!

A young lady as aloof as her would never be good at coaxing people. Her behavior was arrogant and domineering, which was actually an opportunity for Brother Mingyi to see her good qualities in comparison!

Until this moment, Xu Mucheng's heart was entirely focused on her rival, and she didn't notice at all that Huo Mingyi was standing quite far away from her, unlike usual.

The man was also looking at Shi Mingmei in the center, his expression complicated.

The woman's voice was as crisp and sweet as a nightingale's song: "Shi Mingmei, no job, unemployed, will rely on her two older brothers in the future."

As she spoke, she glanced at Qin Chaoyue, who remained unmoved, and then looked around, finally finding an easy target.

"You! It's you—"

Shi Mingmei walked towards Tang Yeli.

Suddenly called on, Riri: Me...me? Oo

Shi Mingmei raised her hand, and she was wearing a fragrance specially blended by the perfume master her family had hired at a high price.

"Smell me, do I stink?"

Lili really took a deep sniff, this honest child, but even so, the scent was still faint and very pleasant.

Tang Yeli answered honestly, "It doesn't smell bad, it smells nice and delicious."

"It's me! Just tell them I have no problem!"

She wasn't being sneaky at all; having received the answer she expected, she immediately looked at Qin Chaoyue with a confident and righteous expression.

"Why do some people tell me to go away? That's rude!"

Mingmei didn't mention him at all?

Huo Mingyi was on tenterhooks for a while before realizing that all of Shi Mingmei's actions and emotions were directed at Qin Chaoyue.

He and Mu Cheng, on the other hand, were completely ignored and left aside by the other party.

Not only Shi Mingmei, but even Shi Wangyan, the "second-generation rich kid" who looked down on him, never mentioned their relationship once during the introduction.

How is this going?

Huo Mingyi had already prepared himself to deal with Shi Mingmei's little temper. He should have put on a stern face and told her not to be so willful anymore. However, his second brother, Shi Wangyan, was still around... Oh well, he should give him some face and not be too harsh.

Even if she doesn't like him, she still has to save face for both families.

Now, it's him who's been abandoned?

Suddenly, a sense of responsibility as a fiancé surged within Huo Mingyi, propelling him forward a step.

Huo Mingyi spoke in a low voice, not forgetting to use his superb male bubble voice to demonstrate his masculine spirit.

"Mingmei, stop fooling around."

Shi Mingmei didn't turn her head, and said rather fiercely, "Shut up! Don't make a sound."

She ran up to Qin Chaoyue again, and in an instant her tone returned to its previous coquettishness: "Smell it again, doesn't it smell wonderful? You were just talking nonsense, that was slander!!"

She stamped her foot in frustration: "No, you have to give me an explanation today!!!"
