Although the ladies have seen a lot of handsome young men, they are mostly actors and actresses, but they have never seen Chen Canaan like this - handsome and good-looking, cheerful and energetic. The most important thing is, he and those rely on the skin, cutting the head to the upper class circle of young people, there is a completely different, that is, he did not have the slightest intention of evening women, and obviously not good sex, a double ten beauty and the late twilight of the woman put in front of him, there is no big difference.

Most of the broad wives are well-informed human beings, and it is most reassuring to play with such boys.

In just a few days, Chen Canaan had inexplicably entered the circle of high society broad wives and celebrities, and there were even broad wives who wanted to take him as their godson, and there were wives who wanted to recruit him as their son-in-law. When they heard that Wen Nan Pictures had been robbed of Li Xing Chen by Teng Xing, a few broad wives were indignant and wanted to introduce big stars to them, even American stars were negotiable.

This is a pie in the sky.

However, Chen Canaan was screaming for help, he knew that the wives were kind to him and didn't carry any nasty thoughts, but because he was so popular, it resulted in him not having much of a chance to be alone with Mrs. Guo and find out the truth about Li Xinghai from her.

At the moment, he was sprawled half-dead on the couch, letting Qiaowen knead his arms for him, and every now and then he wailed because Qiaowen's hand was slightly too hard.

Jovian laughed, "Does it hurt that much?"

This afternoon, Chen Canaan was invited to go play tennis with a few broads and came back looking like he was about to be drained.

This guy is so energetic that he can be called a perpetual motion machine. I haven't seen him so tired in all the years I've known him.

Chen Canaan said with a bitter face: "You don't know, I haven't stopped all afternoon today. Obviously, there are a few males who went with me, but those broads only fought me, and after fighting one for another, is there a wheel war? I fought for more than four hours by myself, and I didn't even take a break." Then he sighed, "I don't think being a cowboy is so tiring. I'm still invited to Mrs. Zhang's reading salon tomorrow, I won't go even if I die."

Jovian snickered, "I don't know if I'm tired of being a cowboy, but if you're going to be one, it's going to be a headliner."

Chen Canaan laughed shamelessly, "I think so too."

Qiao Wen's hand exerted force violently, his dejected smile suddenly turned into a wail: "Ai ai ai, lighter lighter." Said and sighed, "I'm exhausted for a few days, even the opportunity to speak a few words with Mrs. Guo alone are not, the day after tomorrow Mrs. Liu's charity auction, I must find an opportunity to talk with Mrs. Guo."

Qiao Wen laughed, "You haven't been working for nothing these past few days, a few wives have already contacted our side to sponsor our next movie, I've done some calculations, just the sponsorship fee alone will make the cost back."

"Yeah?" When they said they wanted to sponsor our movie, I thought it was just a casual remark." He sat up to stretch his aching arms, thought for a moment, and added, "But in the past few days, I've counted on knowing something about Mrs. Guo's background. She was originally a girl from a small family, grew up with excellent studies, and later enrolled in the Cambridge Law Faculty, and came back to work as an assistant in a law firm. But as you know, an assistant's salary is not enough to buy a designer bag. Later, she met a widowed member of Parliament, Mr. Kwok, and managed to marry into the family, becoming a rich and powerful woman. But the rich and powerful usually come from a wealthy family, and I feel that many wives don't think too highly of her."

This was not far from what Qiaowen knew, and he asked curiously, "How did you find out about this? Did your godmothers and sisters tell you?"

"What godmother and godsister?" Chen Canaan waved his hand in disbelief, "Anyway, I just listened to them talk and pieced it together myself."

Jovian laughed, "Not bad!"

Chen Canaan frowned again: "I also beat around the bush in front of Mrs. Guo mentioned Li Xinghai's name, feel that she is a bit evasive, will not really a moment of obsession and Li Xinghai had a leg up, right?"

Qiaowen thought for a moment and said, "Don't jump to conclusions yet, I'll go with you tomorrow night and simply find a chance to talk to her openly."

Chen Canaan nodded, "That's what I think too, beating around the bush really doesn't suit me, I just like to get to the point."

Qiao Wen laughed, "Regardless, you've still gained a lot these past few days. Maybe if we run into trouble in the future, these broad wives will still be able to help us out."

Chen Canaan sighed in an old-fashioned manner.

He can be so hard.

Chen Canaan, who had been overused by the broad wives on the tennis court, rested for a day and was a living, breathing, good man again. In the evening with Qiao Wen, the two of them, dressed in suits, went to Mrs. Liu's charity dinner.

The dinner was set at an upscale club and the theme was to raise money for underprivileged children.

Such a private nature of the banquet, in the upper class broadsheets celebrity group, from time to time will be organized a, come to participate in most of the women, only a small number of a few young masters, literary and artistic men.

No journalists will be invited to the party, which is entirely an internal social gathering of the upper class.

May be these days when the broad wives of the guests, already have experience, Chen Canaan this time unlike the last time to participate in the Zhou Chaozheng cocktail party so constrained discomfort, because they know a lot of people, simply a little like a fish out of water. He brought Qiao Wen to know all the rich wives.

Originally, a pretty boy Nan was already enough to attract people's favor, but now there was another one, Qiao Wen, who was even prettier than him, and the two of them were simply a bright landscape in this party where women were in the majority.

After a few pleasantries, Qiao Wen sort of understood how hard Chen Canaan had worked these past few days.

In return for the enthusiasm of the wives, Qiao Wen and Chen Canaan threw away more than 100,000 yuan that night to auction off an antique vase treasured by Mrs. Liu, but before the banquet was over, Mrs. Liu promised that she would sponsor all the costumes, props and equipment for their shootings in the next three years.

The hundred thousand or so dollars spent has basically paid for itself, and it's a Ming vase for nothing - of course that's all an afterthought.

Tonight's main priority is not socializing, it's Mrs. Kwok.

From just entering the dinner party, Qiao Wen noticed that Mrs. Guo tonight, seemed to be a bit distracted, and when the auction was halfway through, she left the banquet hall alone.

Qiao Wen whispered in Chen Canaan's ear, Chen Canaan nodded, and the two of them quietly followed him out while everyone was concentrating on filming something.

The club is converted from a garden house built in the Republican era. Outside the banquet hall, through the corridor, there is a chic and spacious back garden.

The people were all in their rooms at this moment, and the garden was empty at night, with only the clear light of the moon spilling down quietly.

Mrs. Guo walked to a large banyan tree and before she could stop, she was pulled behind it by a man in a white shirt and black vest.

Qiao Wen did not expect to have an unexpected harvest tonight, hurriedly pulling Chen Canaan in the dark to hide well, the two position and that banyan tree although separated by a distance of several meters, but still can be vaguely heard that big tree behind the lowered voice of the conversation.

"Pinkie, you're finally willing to meet me."

"Sho, you need to stop looking for me, it was a mistake before."

"Pinkie, I know you still have feelings for me, I'm not asking for anything, just that you come out and see me once in a while."

"Sho, I'm the one who's sorry, I'm the one who's too poor for my own good, but I can't enjoy the life my husband has given me and betray him at the same time. I can't afford that mistake, and neither can you. I was already scared to death when I was found out by that Li last time, tonight is the last time we meet, so you should also hurry up and find a good woman and forget about me."

"Pingback: ......"

"If you really love me, promise me."

There was a long silence behind the tree, then a long sigh, "Okay, I promise."

The man in the white shirt and black vest left behind the banyan tree with his head down, and within moments, disappeared into this back garden.

Mrs. Guo was about to calm her emotions, and only after two minutes did she slowly walk out, only just after taking a few steps, she saw Qiao Wen and Chen Canaan standing not far away, and was suddenly shocked, "You ......"

"Mrs. Guo, we have something we'd like to ask you for, can you give us a moment?"

Mrs. Guo wiped her eyes, calmed down, and nodded, "Good."

The three of them went directly to the gazebo in the garden. Although the gazebo is open on all sides, but a glance can see the surrounding environment, there is no one close to a glance, on the contrary, it is a good place to talk about secrets.

"What's the matter with you guys? Speak directly, is it because of what you just saw and want to threaten me with something?" Mrs. Guo spoke in a not-so-good tone.

Qiao Wen let out a light laugh, "Mrs. Guo is mistaken, we are doing quite well in business and are not short of money, not so much as to blackmail a woman over something like this."

Chen Canaan was not very happy and skimmed his lips as he echoed, "Am I Pretty Boy Nan this kind of person?"

Mrs. Guo sniffed in slight relief and laughed to herself, "Forgive me for being a thief."

Qiao Wen said, "Mrs. Guo doesn't need to say that, everyone has their own inescapable, no matter how sensible they are, they can't help themselves when it comes to their feelings."

Mrs. Guo laughed softly in frustration.

Jovian continued, "We've got a troublesome matter on our side, and since it involves you, we won't beat around the bush."

"Involving me?" Mrs. Guo frowned in shock.

"Li Xingchen signed with Teng Xing, you should know that, right?"

Mrs. Kwok: "Of course, it's all over the papers these days."

Qiao Wen said, "He did not volunteer, but was threatened by Teng Xing. The weight of the threat has something to do with you?"

Mrs. Guo became more and more confused, "Related to me? I've only met Li Xingchen two or three times, I can't even talk about knowing him."

"What about his cousin Li Xinghai?"

Mrs. Guo's expression slightly stiffened, nodded and said, "I got married not long last year, I met Li Xinghai on an occasion, at that time, I didn't know many people in the celebrity circle, and vanity, I wanted to quickly melt in. Li Xinghai knows a lot of people, but also often organize a game, he and I did come and go more frequently for a period of time, but later found that he is a straw man, and not many people look at him, so there is not much contact."

Chen Canaan frowned, "You didn't lie?"

Mrs. Guo snorted, "What's there to lie about in this kind of thing?"

"Then why do you seem a little reluctant to talk much about him when he's mentioned."

Mrs. Guo said: "Anyway, you all saw it tonight, that man just now is my former boyfriend, our relationship was originally very good, then I met my husband and broke up with him. After I got married, I quit my job, and although I had money to spend, I was so empty that I happened to meet him, and I got carried away and started to have a rendezvous with him. This was accidentally bumped into by Li Xinghai, who said he wouldn't betray me, but I always felt uneasy, so I broke off the relationship anyway. Right. You guys said that Li Xing Chen was coerced into signing, why did you mention Li Xing Hai again?"

Qiao Wen said, "It's a bit funny to say that because Teng Xing coerced Li Xing Chen by saying that Li Xing Hai cheated on you and that if he didn't sign the contract, he'd explode it to Councilor Guo so that he'd send Li Xing Hai to jail."

Mrs. Guo was shocked, "I cheated on you with Li Xinghai? Are they crazy?"

Chen Canaan also couldn't help but say, "Yeah, I don't know how Chen could believe that. Mrs. Guo is young, beautiful and a Cambridge senior, cheating on him with his sharp-tongued brother?"

Mrs. Guo was so angry that she was shivering, but because of her good upbringing she didn't know how to swear and thus couldn't say another word.

Seeing this, Qiao Wen said, "Mrs. Guo calm down first. I originally wondered how they could bring you into this, but you said that Li Xinghai bumped into you having a rendezvous with your ex-boyfriend, so it all makes sense. They need such a powerful figure as your husband to deter Li Xing Chen, and then because you have a handle on Li Xing Hai, even if Li Xing Chen confronts you, you might have to admit it in order to protect that gentleman just now. I estimate that in a few days, Teng Xing's side will send someone to talk to you. I'm afraid that they will also blackmail you for other things because of this."

Mrs. Guo's eyes went straight, completely not expecting that she had invited such a disaster without knowing anything. But in the end it was because of her own mistakes.

And it also indirectly implicated Li Xingchen.

Although she was not familiar with Li Xing Chen, she definitely counted herself as a fan of the other party's dramas and movies, and at first, she had a close relationship with Li Xing Hai because he was Li Xing Chen's cousin.

She stood up with a huff and said, "Thank you for telling me about this before Teng Xing and Li Xing Hai approached me, or else I might have really fallen right into their trap because I was unprepared." Saying that, he heaved a sigh of relief, "Since I've already severed this relationship, I will never be threatened again. I'll go back tonight and confess to my husband and see how they threaten me?"

Qiao Wen hadn't expected this Mrs. Guo to be so quick - of course, if she wasn't so crisp, she probably wouldn't have become Mrs. Guo.

He took out a card and handed it to the other party, "This is the phone number of Li Xingchen's apartment, and I'd also like to trouble you to clarify this with him, so that he understands what kind of a pimp his cousin really is."

Mrs. Guo received the card, the more she thought about it, the more she felt angry and disgusted, "These people are too disgusting, they even made up a story about me cheating with Li Xinghai, I'm not blind."

Chen Canaan nodded his head deeply, "Mrs. Guo you are not blind, it's Ah Chen who is heart blind and has been victimized by his own cousin."

In fact, it's not that Li Xingchen is blind, it's just that people always can't escape that level of emotion.

Mrs. Kwok is love.

Starry Lee is kindred spirits.

Now that Mrs. Guo should be able to cross over, I hope Li Xingchen can do the same.
