Fake Husband of the Glamorous CEO-Chapter 124: Support by one’s presence

When Gu Feng woke up, he saw Lin Yu playing with his phone in the living room at home.

"What are you doing here?"

Seeing his brother-in-law come out from the room, Lin Yu hurriedly said, "Sis is worried you’d be bored, so she sent me over to keep you company."

The siblings really thought Gu Feng was hiding at home and didn’t expose his little ruse, so they let Lin Yu stay with him, partly to keep an eye in case Mr. Wei really did have any retaliatory actions.

Gu Feng rubbed his head: "What time is it?"

Lin Yu glanced at his phone: "It’s after 5 PM."

Gu Feng: "Wait for me to take a shower."

After Gu Feng got dressed in formal attire, Lin Yue couldn’t help but ask curiously, "Brother-in-law, where are you going?"

"Your sister’s company has a team-building celebration today, and I promised her I would attend," Gu Feng said, gesturing with his mouth to Lin Yu: "Let’s go."

Once the two got to the garage, Lin Yu couldn’t help but comment, "Brother-in-law, we’re not broke, why don’t you switch to a car that better fits your status? The G-Class is domineering, but it doesn’t suit your current identity."

Gu Feng, with his hands on the steering wheel, made a smooth exit from the garage and simply said, "This is a gift from your sister."

Lin Yu was caught off guard by this show of affection.

In an outdoor plaza of a hotel that specialized in hosting large events, the employees and VIPs of Thunder Group had already arrived.

Today’s event was not only the group’s team-building gathering, but also a thanksgiving banquet for both new and long-standing clients.

The invited guests were suppliers who had worked with the group over time as well as representatives from companies that had recently signed agreements both domestically and internationally.

Lin Yue also invited all her friends from her social circle, as well as other corporate executives willing to support Thunder Group’s annual meeting.

Lin Yue originally wanted to take this opportunity to introduce her husband, Gu Feng, to everyone.

But after what happened last night, for Gu Feng’s sake, she told Lin Yue to stay home with Gu Feng instead of attending tonight’s banquet.

However, her circle of local rich second-generation socialites wouldn’t accept that.

"Didn’t we agree you’d bring out your precious husband for everyone to see? Where is he?"

"Exactly, we’ve never seen your husband since your show-off posts in your moments. We all agreed, today we’re all here because of Lin the Great Beauty’s mysterious husband."

A few friends teased her with glasses of red wine in hand: "We’ve always been curious what kind of man Lin Yue, the number one beauty of Jiangcheng, would marry. Turns out he silently sorted out Chengjun Group for you, swallowing all their resources in one go and making Thunder the top trading company in the country. Just last night, we heard he made Mr. Wei suffer without showing his face. We really want to see what he’s like!"

Jiang Xue looked annoyed at Lin Yue: "You have no idea, the thing with Mr. Wei last night was shared with her while we munched on melon seeds, and she kept the fact that her husband was behind it all a secret. I felt like a clown."

Lin Yue was somewhat embarrassed by these comments.

"Liu Yuan, you’re the only one who’s seen Gu Feng. Tell us, what’s he like?"

A few women turned to ask Liu Yuan.

Liu Yuan smiled and said, "He’s tall and handsome, bursting with masculine charm. I think if you put him in a 007 movie, his powerful presence would maximize his manly appeal."

The others got excited: "That’s how a man should be, not those ’puppy’ pretty boys. Just looking at them makes you want to slap them with a flip-flop, they seem even more delicate than us women!"

Just then, groups of guests began to enter the outdoor venue one after another.

"President Lin, President Guo, the tycoon, has arrived," reported the secretary Yu.

The eyes of Lin Yue’s well-to-do friends widened.

"Damn, you invited the tycoon?"

Lin Yue didn’t invite him.

But he wanted to show up in support, and you can’t do much about it.

She said with a smile, "Take care of yourselves first; I need to go greet him."

"Yes, go ahead," urged Jiang Xue and the others. They all understood the pecking order in the local circle, and they knew who had the highest respect.

At the entrance, as Guo Changming arrived with his grandson Guo Yunfan, they both greeted Lin Yue warmly, "President Lin, sorry for the self-invite. Hope we didn’t disturb you?"

"Not at all, President Guo. Your presence is an honor to my venue today," Lin Yue replied warmly.

"Hello, sister-in-law," Guo Yunfan said with a smile, also greeting Lin Yue.

Meanwhile, more guests arrived.

"President Lin, heard there’s a banquet at Thunder Group tonight, so we came to check it out. Hope we’re not intruding," remarked the guests.

Tangchen’s boss, Tang Youwei, entered with Tang Jun on his heels, smiling and reaching out for a handshake and greeting with Lin Yue.

Not just them, behind them Qin Li, Dong Hui, Xu Shenghua, the father and son from Tangong, as well as local tycoons affiliated with ’Guo Yunfan Fund’ and ’Tang Jun Fund,’ came in one after another.

Even Ye Wei and Nie Yun were present, representing ’Ling Feng’ Group.

Lin Yue was a bit overwhelmed and could only manage a symbolic handshake with a few familiar faces of considerable standing before urging them to go in for dinner.

Then Qin Li and the others quickly caught up, greeting Lin Yue with smiles: "Hello sister-in-law."

"You came yourself. Why did you bring the family patriarchs too?" Lin Yue felt the entourage was a bit too grand.

After all, these men were capital moguls.

Qin Li and the others laughed and said, "They insisted on coming personally. They felt it showed respect for you, sister-in-law, on behalf of their families."

Lin Yue gave a wry smile: "Alright, go on inside."

Out of curiosity, Guo Yunfan asked, "Where’s Feng? Hasn’t he arrived yet?"

Lin Yue hesitated: "He had some matters to attend to today, he might not make it."

Ye Wei was surprised: "He said he would come. We had a deal."

Nie Yun laughed: "With Feng’s status, he’s bound to be the grand finale, right? Let’s go in and start eating."
