“Welcome to my live stream, everyone! We’re at the International Hotel, where my cousin’s inauguration banquet is being held, and I’m one of the invited guests.” Xu Ting smiled sweetly at her phone, surrounded by a crowd.

Xu Ting intended to use the Xu Family’s banquet to elevate her status. Fans loved the story of a wealthy beauty breaking into the entertainment industry. Xu Wen had previously encouraged her to use the opportunity for self-promotion, which delighted Xu Ting.

She was accompanied by cameramen, two or three lighting technicians, and a makeup artist and assistant ready to touch up her appearance. The banquet also attracted numerous reporters, with a few following her.

“This is the VIP lounge, not accessible to just anyone!” Xu Ting saw her live stream viewers exceed several hundred thousand, the highest in her streaming history, and couldn’t hide her excitement.

“Alright, let me show you all what the VIP lounge looks like inside!”

Xu Wen had arranged the room in advance. Seeing the door unlocked, Xu Ting smiled and pushed it open. As she did, sounds of intimacy filled the air.

“Ah, slow down, I can’t take it.”

“No, no! Slow down.”

Everyone exchanged glances, unsure whether to enter, looking to Xu Ting for direction.

Xu Ting had hoped to make a splash with her live stream, but someone had used her room first. In her panic, she didn’t recognize the voices, only wanting to expose the shameless couple inside.

She turned on the light. “Who are you? This is my room! Have you no shame?”

Before she could say more, her voice caught in her throat.

On the bed, Xu Wen, wearing only a man’s shirt, was kneeling on top of a naked man. Anyone could see what they were doing.

The lounge lighting was dim, and the man’s face was turned away, making it hard to identify him.

For a moment, Xu Ting didn’t know what to do. The live stream continued, and a few reporters secretly took photos, aware that the Xu Family would likely suppress the story but hoping to release the news first.

“Xu Wen?” Xu Ting finally reacted. “Turn off the live stream, now!”

She realized something was wrong. No wonder Xu Wen had eagerly encouraged her to live stream in the VIP lounge. It was a setup. Even without looking at the man, Xu Ting guessed it must be Gu Chen.

While instructing to turn off the live stream, she signaled to her team, who “accidentally” kept it running.

“Even if you couldn’t control yourselves, you should have chosen a better place, Gu Chen,” Xu Ting scolded loudly, ensuring everyone could hear. “You both are engaged; can’t you wait? Drinking really messes things up!”

She raised her voice intentionally, drawing more attention. Many people gathered at the lounge entrance.

Seeing the situation, Mrs. Xu finally felt relieved. Although the incident was embarrassing, it ensured the engagement between the two families.

She pushed through the crowd, feigning urgency. “No pictures! No one is allowed to spread this!”

Old Mr. Xu also arrived, furious upon hearing the gossip outside. “Disgracing the family! Is this how the Xu and Gu Families raised you two? What a misfortune!”

Mrs. Xu rushed to calm him. “Young people are passionate. They both had some drinks today, so it’s understandable. Anyway, Xu Wen and Gu Chen have been engaged since childhood. They’re in love, and young people nowadays are open-minded. It’s not a big deal.”

She didn’t even check the lounge before assuming the man was Gu Chen. The crowd stayed silent but implicitly agreed. The Xu and Gu Families were indeed well-matched, and their engagement would strengthen both families.

“Since when was I engaged?” Gu Chen appeared with Song Fan, glaring coldly at Mrs. Xu. “You didn’t even check who was inside before claiming it was me? I can’t bear such a baseless accusation.”

“What are you doing here?” Mrs. Xu stepped back in shock, staring at Gu Chen and Song Fan in disbelief.

Song Fan smirked. This scene felt all too familiar.

First, it was Meng Xia, now it was Xu Wen. Gu Chen was like a prized piece of meat everyone wanted a bite of.
