Getting drunk is really vexing.

Shen Qian impatiently tugged at his hair a couple of times. Whenever he thought about the scene of him actively seeking Xizhen's company, he became too preoccupied to chat and joke around with Jiang Zixu.

After hanging up the phone, Shen Qian quickly finished washing up and then clumsily put on his slippers before heading downstairs.

His older brother, Shen Ye, was sitting cross-legged on the sofa with a laptop in his arms. When he saw him coming down, he gave him a meaningful smile.

Shen Qian's stomach was growling with hunger, so he went to the kitchen and grabbed two slices of bread to temporarily appease his hunger.

"Isn't it the weekend today? Where are Dad and Mom?"

Shen Ye casually replied, "I went to visit Old Master Zhou."

Shen Qian made a sound of acknowledgement, holding a bread in his mouth as he walked behind Shen Ye and glanced at the pages on his computer screen.

The patriarch of Huanyu Film and Television Group held a late-night gathering with the young fresh meat. Is it a genuine love affair exposed or a business transaction in that regard?

He clicked his tongue and sat on the sofa, biting his bread. He mumbled, "Those paparazzi media outlets really go all out for attention, picking such cheap and trashy names."

Shen Ye raised his eyebrows and looked at him with surprise. "Aren't you angry?"

"Why would I be angry?" Shen Qian looked at his older brother as if he were a fool. "It's just a celebrity gossip news from the entertainment industry, and it doesn't even mention me."

Did I not mention you?

Shen Ye looked at him strangely and asked, "Don't tell me you don't know who the head of Huanyu Pictures is?"

"I don't know, I've never thought about becoming a celebrity. Why would I want to get to know the owner of an entertainment company?" Shen Qian asked casually with an air of indifference. "What's the big deal with him? Is he famous?"

"...He's quite famous." Shen Ye sighed, this silly little brother of his, he probably wouldn't even realize if he got sold one day.

"That has nothing to do with me." Shen Qian continued to munch on his bread, showing no interest in any of it.

Shen Ye looked at him for a while and helplessly said, "It's Xi Zhen."

Shen Qian was stunned for a moment, and the piece of bread fell to the ground in shock. He asked incredulously, "Bro, what did you just say?"

Shen Ye said, "The current head of Huanyu Group is Xi Zhen."

Shen Qian seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly leaned over to take the computer from his brother's leg, carefully reading that gossip news article.

The paragraph you provided translates to: "The article was precisely about what happened between him and Xi Zhen last night."

He was photographed while being drunk and supported by Xi Zhen as they left the club. The photo was then paired with a series of words that misrepresented the situation, claiming that he was a rising star in the entertainment industry who used his body to seduce the CEO of a film and television company in order to climb up the ranks.

Xi Zhen's side profile and tall figure were clearly captured in the photo. As the owner of a film and television company, his exposure in the media naturally surpassed that of others. Shen Qian was nestled in his arms, unable to see anything except his slender body. His facial features were completely hidden from view.

Even if Shen Qian were to be slapped in the face, many people wouldn't recognize him. He's quite influential in high society circles, but only there. He never gets involved in the entertainment industry or anything like that.

The comments below made Shen Qian even more annoyed. A group of onlookers who were ignorant of the truth were there, hurling insults at him.

Shen Qian couldn't bear to continue reading the comments halfway through; he angrily stuffed the computer back into his older brother's arms and gritted his teeth, saying, "This is complete nonsense. When did I ever rely on Xi Zhen to advance in my career? And as for those rumors of me engaging in unethical practices, even if I were to lay naked on Xi Zhen's bed, he wouldn't dare touch me."

Shen Ye really wanted to ask, "Are you sure?" However, seeing his younger brother on the verge of exploding, he restrained himself.

He asked Shen Qian, "Do you need me to intervene and suppress the news?"

Shen Qian impatiently waved his hand, "No need, anyway I can't see my face clearly, let Xi Zhen handle it himself."

Shen Ye asked again, "So, there's really nothing going on between you and Xi Zhen?"

Shen Qian's expression froze, not daring to tell anyone about the fact that he deceived Xi Zhen into marrying him. Naturally, he made up and said, "There's nothing wrong. I've only talked to him briefly, we're not close at all."

Shen Ye contemplated for a while and nodded, saying, "Yeah, that's true. Last night when he brought you back, he seemed even more indifferent than usual. There wasn't a trace of interest towards you."

Shen Qian asked, "Do you know that he sent me back last night?"

Shen Ye said, "It was him who called me, asking me to go to the entrance to pick you up."

Shen Qian became anxious in an instant and hurriedly asked his elder brother, "Then, what was I like when he brought me here yesterday? Did I... like... cling to him a lot?"

"Don't you have any idea in your heart?" Shen Ye raised an eyebrow, displaying a look of familiarity, as if he had long been accustomed to it. "Usually, when you get drunk, you become clingy and talk nonsense. It would be strange if there was a time when you got drunk but didn't cling to someone."

Shen Qian: "......"

In that case, what Jiang Zixu said is true. He truly rubbed against Xi Zhen and even smelled her.

But the key issue is not this, but whether he has leaked the revenge plan to Xizhen after getting drunk. If he accidentally mentioned it, then it would be truly over.
