Chapter 487: Green Tea Scheme to Win a Boyfriend 32

When he said that, the two young women's faces instantly showed embarrassment, and they instinctively looked back toward their aunt.

The aunt's face also looked a bit uneasy; she had always looked down on this adopted son, and now, in front of everyone, he had embarrassed her, so her voice turned harsh and low.

What are you saying? Isn't it fine that I brought these two in? Your brother didn't say anything, yet you're here making a fuss.

Yes, today is your birthday—aren't you just riding on the He family's glory? An outsider who isn't even registered in the household, without the He family's halo you're nothing!

The aunt has always had a violent temper; living abroad for so long, she didn't know what had happened domestically recently, and she didn't even notice the glances other guests were casting at her.

Jin Chen quietly grabbed He Yuchuan's arm, signaling him not to get angry.

Since the aunt is so eager, what exactly does she want to do?

His tone remained gentle the whole time, which only made the other side seem unreasonable.

Of course I'm introducing a few friends for your brother to meet; just enjoy your birthday and stay out of He family affairs.

Seeing that he was being sensible, the aunt snorted and then turned to look at He Yuchuan with a smile.

The next second, Jin Chen, smiling narrowly, aimed his wine glass at the aunt under everyone's gaze and poured the dark red wine all over her face.

The scene fell silent for a few seconds.

Even He Yuchuan hadn't expected him to do that; after reacting, he clenched his fist against his lips to hide his smile.

He really is something.

Guangshu chuckled a few times, then hurriedly had the guards at the door come over, lest that madwoman hurt the young master.

Ah—

The aunt screamed, her carefully done hair soaked through, her makeup smeared beyond recognition, looking like a monster.

Jin Chen!! What are you doing?!

The two girls beside her were also frightened, each stepping back, afraid of getting splashed by the wine.

The somewhat delicate girl turned even paler, occasionally glancing at He Yuchuan, as if hoping to attract his attention with a pitiful look.

But such a gaze could only draw the attention of someone else.

Jin Chen narrowed his eyes, a sneer escaping his lips: "I think the aunt's mouth is dirty; I figured I'd wash it for her."

You've forgotten what you did to my brother back then, yet today you still have the nerve to beg for this and that.

The aunt lunged at him, claws bared, wanting to tear him apart, but the well-trained guards held her fast.

You brought these two over to introduce a girlfriend for my brother, what a pity.

He lowered his gaze and sighed, letting the aunt rant on the side: "I've already been together with him."

The two girls' flirtatious gestures froze; they turned their heads in disbelief and stared fixedly at Jin Chen.

Even the aunt, who had just been struggling, fell silent, unable to believe what she'd heard.

What did you say?!!!

He Yuchuan gave a cold glance over and finally spoke.

As you can see, my partner is Jin Chen.

Very well, the guests present fell silent again.

Several older board members of the group clutched their hearts, gasping, their expressions shocked.

The uncle's face went black as well: "Do you even know what you're saying! You've been brothers since childhood!"

Jin Chen remained calm: "Thank you for your concern, uncle. Since we have no blood relation, if you're happy, you can call us childhood friends."

Is that the point? The point is how you make others see you!

He Yuchuan tightly gripped his wine cup, a hint of painful endurance flickering between his brows; he'd heard such words too many times.

An emotionless monster, not pretending to be normal—how do you expect others to view you!

Not even dating, and you're not afraid of being discovered? By then, the He Group will also run into trouble because of you!

Jin Chen sensed his change in emotion and tightly held his slightly cool palm.

Why should I care how others see me? Calling you 'uncle' really makes you act like an elder.

Please be aware, we're merely informing you of our relationship; we have no intention of consulting you.

He swept his cold, deep gaze over the several relatives held back by the guards.

Back then, you took advantage of my brother's undeveloped wings to give him all kinds of trouble; now it's time for retribution.

He Yuchuan took up the cue at the right moment, his voice turning cold.

Starting today, the He Group's all assistance and financial support to you relatives—whether given by your father or sought by yourselves—

I will, as the group's primary controlling director, reclaim all financial support, and future dividends will go entirely to public welfare, not a cent to you.

The two stood side by side, their auras both extremely sharp yet not clashing at all, looking like a natural pair.

The uncle, who had just been proud and smug, instantly turned ashen.

He and several relatives were escorted out together, and only then did the farce end.

The two girls still wanted to say something, but seeing the aunt's fate, fearing they'd be the next to embarrass themselves publicly, they could only slink away.

Only then did some people realize that today's show had likely been prepared in advance by the He family.

It was meant to deal with the collateral relatives who had schemed back then to greedily seize the family property.

After the troublemakers left, Jin Chen had achieved his goal for the night; seeing He Yuchuan's suddenly relaxed expression, he also felt happy.

He knew the final obstacle in He Yuchuan's heart was the relationship with relatives.

Because of his lack of emotion, his parents had taught him from childhood to maintain good relations with relatives, to secure his own place, and to smoothly inherit their group's legacy.

As for the latter two points, He Yuchuan had excelled beautifully when he grew up; only the first point remained lacking.

He couldn't do it, but he also didn't want to go against his father's wishes.

He could only let another important person resolve the hidden trouble in his heart.

The two composed themselves anew to face the other guests present.

Such a birthday banquet was, for Jin Chen, merely an occasion to gather people; for everyone else, it was, of course, the same.

Many of those with standing had already begun talking about cooperation.

But today, Jin Chen and He Yuchuan publicly announced their relationship, still causing quite a stir.

Midway through the banquet, an uninvited guest who had not been invited showed up.

The first person to notice Gu Yuanheng's presence was Jin Chen.

His concealment technique was indeed skillful; walking behind others, he wouldn't be detected, and he lingered for a moment behind a Roman column, as if observing something.

He stared over here for a long time, then hid in the dark and left the main hall, heading toward… the garden?

Jin Chen's brow twitched slightly, he felt somewhat puzzled.

What trouble is this person stirring up again?

"Chenchen, what are you doing?"

He Yuchuan originally brought him to meet several partners; after all, the gifts were quite valuable, but in the blink of an eye he saw Jin Chen staring blankly at the doorway.

"Sorry, I'll be back shortly."

Jin Chen set down his wine glass, suddenly left the main hall, his steps appearing somewhat anxious.

He Yuchuan didn't even have time to ask what was happening.
