Chapter 146: Fake boyfriend forced to become real!

At this moment, everyone present was dazed.

Nie Zhuo stared wide-eyed, unable to believe it!

His childhood sweetheart goddess actually kissed this loser guy??

Father Yuan Zhenbang and his wife exchanged a glance, both seeing shock in each other's eyes!

They couldn't believe it!

Yuan Hongli, this girl, actually dared to kiss him?!

This couple knew their daughter extremely well.

They knew their daughter had a cleanliness obsession.

If Yuan Hongli didn't truly like this man, she would never have dared to kiss him.

So, is this Lin Yuan really Yuan Hongli's boyfriend?

"Cough cough cough." At that moment, Yuan Zhenbang coughed.

Only then did Yuan Hongli and Lin Yuan separate.

Lin Yuan's head felt a bit fuzzy.

What's going on??

We agreed to just pretend to be boyfriend and girlfriend, but we never said we'd kiss.

Lin Yuan inexplicably got taken advantage of.

And Yuan Hongli this woman was just going all out.

Her teeth even bumped into Lin Yuan.

Having gone this far, it's obvious they really kissed.

Lin Yuan wiped his mouth, and there was still a hint of fruit sweetness on his lips.

Yuan Hongli's lipstick was fruit-flavored.

"Do you believe it now?" Yuan Hongli linked arms with Lin Yuan.

She just stared at Nie Zhuo like that.

Nie Zhuo broke down at this moment: "Hongli, even if you found a boyfriend, I could understand, but how could you pick such a loser? Why would you rather choose a loser than agree to me? In what way am I worse than him?!"

Nie Zhuo really was a bit broken!

He's a local of Hangcheng, now running a renovation company earning millions a year! Why does Yuan Hongli not look up to him! She insists on picking a loser!

Yuan Hongli blinked her beautiful eyes and said, "Nie Zhuo, we really aren't suited. Lin Yuan may not have much money, but he knows how to care for people. He has qualities you can't replace."

Yuan Hongli linked arms with Lin Yuan, also giving him a glance with her beautiful eyes blinking.

Her gaze at Lin Yuan was full of endless love.

At this moment, mother Ge Qin also gave a light cough and said, "Hongli, as long as you truly like him. Xiao Lin, actually, we can also accept. As long as Xiao Lin is a good person and treats you well, that's enough."

Mother saying this was tantamount to agreeing to her daughter's boyfriend.

After all, it's the daughter's own choice; what else could she do?

But father Yuan Zhenbang just couldn't bring himself to agree.

In the end, Yuan Zhenbang let out a long sigh, "Eh."

He still didn't agree.

Lin Yuan's conditions were really too poor; Yuan Zhenbang truly couldn't accept, a son-in-law mismatched in family status.

"Dad, what about you?" Yuan Hongli looked at her father, seeming to wait for his decision.

"Eh, forget it. Your own choice, we shouldn't interfere. Dad won't meddle in your affairs. But don't regret it. Choosing a life partner isn't child's play." Father Yuan Zhenbang said with a long sigh.

Yuan Hongli's parents were still very reasonable.

Although Lin Yuan's conditions were poor, this was the daughter's choice, and they respected it.

"Thanks, Dad." Yuan Hongli chuckled, "Mom and Dad, rest assured. The man I chose definitely won't make me regret. Besides, we aren't married yet, so what's there to regret or not regret? We haven't reached that step."

Yuan Zhenbang sighed and said, "Alright, it's about time; we should go to the hotel for the lunch banquet."

Yuan Zhenbang's 60th birthday celebration this time was specially held at the West Lake Four Seasons Hotel, a very famous super five-star hotel.

Its Four Seasons Hotel's Jinsha Hall is even listed as a Michelin one-star in Hangcheng.

It's acclaimed as the top trendsetter in Hangcheng's food scene.

The Four Seasons Hotel is located near West Lake, not far from Yuan Hongli's home.

So everyone walked there, just a few hundred meters.

Yuan Zhenbang's birthday banquet this time was booked in Jinsha Hall, with the entire hall reserved.

Michelin restaurant booked out, showing how extravagant this birthday banquet is.

……

Meanwhile, at the Xi Hu District street.

A Porsche Panamera was driving toward the Four Seasons Hotel.

Zhou Xinyi sat in the passenger seat of the Porsche, today wearing a sexy evening gown, very noble.

Du Haotian sat in the driver's seat, driving.

Today, her new boyfriend Du Haotian brought her to attend a 60th birthday banquet of an old official.

So Zhou Xinyi dressed very formally, her heart still a little excited.

"Haoran, that old leader, what rank are you saying he is?" Zhou Xinyi asked curiously.

"Today's old leader is no ordinary person. He's the chairman of the Zhejiang Province Trade Promotion Association, a veteran official of several decades. Our entire Zhejiang Province's import-export foreign trade policies were planned by this veteran official. Although he's about to retire, in the Trade Promotion Association, all the students he brought up are his followers, all his faction's people." Du Haotian explained.

Hearing her boyfriend's introduction, Zhou Xinyi's pretty face was very excited: "Wow, such a high rank! This is indeed a big leader!"

Zhou Xinyi is just a small bank employee; she naturally has never encountered such a provincial-ministerial level leader.

So she was especially excited at this moment.

Today Du Haotian could bring her to attend the birthday banquet, which broadened her horizons and also let her make many connections.

"That's right, this old chairman wields great power. Look, this birthday banquet is held at the Four Seasons Hotel, one of the top hotels in Hangcheng. Our company's foreign trade business all relies on this old chairman. Later we really need to flatter him." Du Haotian said.

He still had a hint of pride at the corner of his mouth. Obviously, being able to know the Chairman of the Trade Promotion Association was also a source of pride for him.

At this moment, Du Haotian again put on an act in front of Zhou Xinyi by invoking the old chairman's name.

Seeing Zhou Xinyi's excited face, Du Haotian's vanity was satisfied.

Have you seen it? This is my Du Haotian's network of connections.

Zhou Xinyi was also extremely excited; such a chance to meet provincial-level officials was something she could never have in her daily life.

Back when she was with Lin Yuan, she couldn't even see an official traffic police officer, let alone any officials.

It shows how worthless Lin Yuan, that poor loser, is.

This is the gap between losers and tall, rich, handsome guys.

The people Du Haotian knows are all provincial-ministerial level leaders.

And the people Lin Yuan knows? Well… just delivery guys and couriers.

Zhou Xinyi sneered inwardly; she was very glad she had broken up with Lin Yuan.

……

At the entrance of the West Lake Four Seasons Hotel.

Lin Yuan and Yuan Hongli's family had just entered the hotel.

Lin Yuan suddenly realized he had forgotten to bring the birthday gift, leaving it in the car.

So he hurried back to get the gift from the car.

By the time Lin Yuan retrieved the gift and returned to the hotel, Yuan Hongli's family had already entered the banquet hall.

……

At this time, at the entrance of the Gold Sand Hall in the hotel.

Guests attending the birthday banquet arrived one after another.

Zhou Xinyi linked arms with her boyfriend Du Haotian, and they also arrived at the restaurant entrance.

"Wow… this is the Gold Sand Hall, I heard this restaurant is a Michelin one-star eatery! The average cost starts at 1000." Zhou Xinyi covered her mouth, her beautiful eyes excited.

Who would have thought that attending a birthday banquet would let them dine at a Michelin restaurant.

This is too extravagant.

"Keep it down, don't embarrass yourself. Act a bit more composed." Du Haotian reminded.

Only then did Zhou Xinyi retract her excitement, holding her boyfriend's hand as she walked toward the restaurant.

But when the two reached the entrance of the Gold Sand Hall…

Lin Yuan was also carrying the gift, walking toward the restaurant entrance.

What a coincidence—Lin Yuan and Zhou Xinyi, that dog couple, actually ran into each other at the restaurant entrance?

"Lin Yuan?? What are you doing here??" Zhou Xinyi, sharp-eyed, spotted Lin Yuan immediately and coldly shouted.

Lin Yuan was about to step into the restaurant when hearing that voice startled him; he stopped, turned his head, and looked.

He saw Zhou Xinyi linking arms with Du Haotian, the two seemingly also about to enter the restaurant.

"Zhou Xinyi? What are you doing here?" Lin Yuan also felt surprised, and he retorted.

"I and Haotian are naturally here to attend Chairman Yuan's birthday banquet! Lin Yuan, you stinking loser, what are you doing here?? Could it be that you've been secretly following us?" Zhou Xinyi coldly questioned.

Lin Yuan was somewhat surprised?

Zhou Xinyi is also here to attend Uncle Yuan's birthday banquet??

Lin Yuan coldly said, "Zhou Xinyi, don't flatter yourself—stalking you? You're not worthy."

"You!" Zhou Xinyi's pretty face changed at being retorted; she hadn't expected that after not seeing each other for days, Lin Yuan had become so articulate.

"Then what are you doing here?! Is this a place a loser like you can come to?" Zhou Xinyi coldly questioned.

"I'm here to attend Uncle Yuan's birthday banquet." Lin Yuan coldly said.

Zhou Xinyi sneered, "Lin Yuan?? Just you? You still dare to attend Chairman Yuan's birthday banquet? That's hilarious—you're just a broken driver; what qualifications do you have to attend a birthday banquet? You must be trying to sneak in to freeload, right?"

"Brainless." Lin Yuan coldly replied with two words, then proceeded to enter the banquet hall.

He couldn't be bothered to deal with that dog couple.

And Du Haoran grabbed him by the arm.

"Hold it, you dog thing, you keep saying you're here to attend Chairman Yuan's birthday banquet—do you have an invitation?" Du Haoran sneered.

"An invitation?" Lin Yuan was startled upon hearing that.

Du Haoran produced a red invitation, "Chairman Yuan sent invitations to every guest. Don't tell me you don't have one?!"

Lin Yuan shook his head.

Indeed, he really didn't have an invitation.

He was brought in by Yuan Hongli.

So he should be considered a relative of the Yuan family, right? Relatives don't need an invitation.

"You dog thing, without an invitation you're just trying to sneak in to freeload, right?!" Du Haotian's face flushed with anger.

He found an opportunity to humiliate Lin Yuan and naturally wouldn't let it go.

"Security! Hotel security, someone here wants to sneak into the banquet hall to freeload! Get this dog thing out of here." Du Haotian started calling for hotel security.

At that moment, a group of hotel security heard the commotion and all came forward to inquire.

Lin Yuan was blocked by Du Haotian at the restaurant entrance and also surrounded by a group of security guards.

"It's him! He has no birthday banquet invitation and still wants to crash to freeload! Quickly throw this dog thing out! Today is Chairman Yuan's birthday banquet—how could we let a loser like him come in and cause trouble?" Du Haotian declared righteously.
