Live stream: Bragging to an orca, exposed by netizens

Wang Hao and Shen Fei clinked their glasses countless times.

The meal was very enjoyable, with dishes being devoured one after another. Li Ting smiled as she served new dishes, and the aromas from the kitchen mingled with the laughter from the living room, creating a warm and lively atmosphere.

Wang Hao's face was flushed from drinking, and he was slurring his words as he put his arm around Shen Fei's shoulder.

"Feizi, you...you're really awesome now. I always knew you were something special, and see, I was right! Now even the general manager of Westin...has to give you face!"

Li Ting brought over a plate of freshly cooked spicy chicken, her cheeks flushed, and gave Wang Hao a reproachful look:

"Drink less. It's rare for Brother Shen Fei to come back. Don't get drunk and cause trouble."

"I'm happy!"

Wang Hao waved his hand.

Although Pete didn't quite understand what they were talking about, he was caught up in the atmosphere and raised his beer glass, shouting in his newly learned Chinese:

"Happy! Let's drink!"

Just as the group was enjoying their drinks, the doorbell rang.

"It must be your uncle and aunt who have arrived."

Li Ting wiped her hands and quickly got up to open the door.

A middle-aged couple in their fifties stood outside the door. The man was wearing a slightly faded jacket and had a somewhat serious expression. The woman had curly hair and was carrying a bag of fruit. She had a smile on her face, but her eyes were scanning the room.

"Dad, Mom, what brings you here?"

Li Ting welcomed them in with delight.

"We heard that Xiaohao's friend is back from abroad, so we came to visit. We also want to discuss the wedding details with you two."

As Li Ting's mother spoke, she glanced at Shen Fei and Pete in the living room.

Hello, Uncle and Aunt.

Shen Fei immediately stood up.

"Mom and Dad, this is Shen Fei, Wang Hao's best brother, whom I often mention to you. This is his friend, Pete."

Li Ting quickly introduced the situation.

"Oh, hello, hello."

Li Ting's mother became more enthusiastic, placing the fruit on the table. "Is this the one who owns a large fish farm in Canada? Wow, so young and accomplished, truly remarkable."

After exchanging pleasantries, the two elderly people took their seats.

Initially, the conversation revolved around wedding preparations. However, when Li Ting's mother heard that the wedding venue had been changed to the seven-star Westin Hotel and that all expenses were covered, her eyes lit up, and the way she looked at Shen Fei changed.

As we chatted, the topic naturally turned to houses.

"Xiao Hao," Li Ting's father put down his chopsticks and said seriously, "It's good that the wedding arrangements are resolved. But, after you get married, will you be living here?"

He looked around the clean but somewhat cramped two-bedroom apartment.

The atmosphere instantly became a little awkward.

Wang Hao sobered up considerably and was about to explain when Shen Fei silenced him with a look.

Li Ting's mother immediately chimed in, "Don't you know what housing prices are like in Jiangcheng now? With your meager salary, when will you ever be able to afford a new house? Our Tingting has never lived in such a small house since she was little. We can't expect her living conditions to decline after she gets married, can we?"

Upon hearing this, both Wang Hao and Li Ting's expressions turned grim.

Li Ting tugged at her mother's sleeve:

"Mom, please stop talking."

"Why can't I say that? It's for your own good!"

Shen Fei frowned slightly as he watched this scene.

He noticed that Wang Hao's fists were clenched.

So he put down his wine glass, looked directly at Wang Hao, smiled, and spoke in a relaxed tone:

"Rat, don't listen to that. It's your brother's wedding, how can you, as the older brother, not give a gift?"

He calmly took out his phone and dialed a number in front of everyone.

"Hello, is this Mr. Zhou from the Westin? This is Shen Fei. Yes, I need your help with something. Could you contact the sales director of Jiangcheng No. 1 Courtyard and have him bring the floor plans of the best large apartments to my room first thing tomorrow morning? Yes, full payment."

The phone was on speakerphone, and Mr. Zhou's extremely respectful voice clearly echoed throughout the living room.

"Yes, Mr. Shen! I'll arrange it right away! I guarantee it will be handled perfectly for you!"

"What? Courtyard No. 1?"

The entire living room was completely silent.

Li Ting's parents were completely stunned, their mouths agape, wide enough to fit an egg.

Shen Fei hung up the phone, then looked at the stunned Wang Hao, patted him on the shoulder, and said in an unquestionable tone:

"You're my brother, not a beggar. This house is a wedding gift from your brother; you have to accept it whether you like it or not."

He paused, his voice turning somber:

"I don't want my best brother to be looked down upon and unable to hold his head high because of a house. Anyone who dares to make you suffer is slapping me in the face."

As he finished speaking, his gaze swept over Li Ting's parents, a smile still on his face.

Wang Hao stared intently at Shen Fei, his lips trembling, wanting to say something but unable to utter a single word, his eyes instantly reddening.

Li Ting's parents listened in stunned silence. They never imagined that this young man had such power, able to mobilize the Westin general manager with a single phone call, and to buy One Courtyard in full!

Finally, Wang Hao picked up his glass, downed it in one gulp, and uttered two words in a hoarse voice:

"……Thanks."

After dinner, Li Ting's parents left satisfied.

Wang Hao went to see them off, leaving only Shen Fei, Pete, and Li Ting washing dishes in the kitchen in the living room.

Shen Fei went inside, took out a bank card from his pocket, and handed it to Li Ting.

"Sister-in-law, please take this."

"Brother Shen Fei, this won't do. You've already helped us enough."

Li Ting quickly waved her hand in refusal.

"This isn't for you to buy a house."

Shen Fei placed the card in her hand. "This is a card I gave you, just for you. The password is six eights."

He looked at Li Ting and said softly:

"Haozi is a man with a strong sense of pride. It's not easy for men to work hard outside, and sometimes it can be very tiring. Take this money and buy whatever you want. Don't deprive yourself. In case you need it urgently later, or if you two have a fight, this will be your confidence. Don't tell him."

"When I was going through the toughest time, it was Haozi who helped me. Now that you're getting married, I hope you'll live better lives than anyone else. This is a bond between brothers; if you accept this, you're doing me a favor."

Looking at the card in her hand, Li Ting could no longer hold back her tears, which fell one by one.

She didn't refuse again, but nodded vigorously.

It was already late at night when I left Wang Hao's house.

In the old stairwell, the dim, motion-activated lights turned on and off with their footsteps.

Just as Shen Fei got into the car, his phone rang. It was a text message from Li Ting.

"Brother Shenfei, thank you for everything you've done for Wang Hao, and thank you for the card. Don't worry, we'll definitely live a good life and make you, as his older brother, proud. But he's stubborn, and about the house... I'll try to persuade him slowly."

Shen Fei smiled and replied with two words:

"rest assured."

He turned off his phone and looked out the window at the street scene rushing past.

He had just returned to the presidential suite and hadn't even caught his breath when an unfamiliar number called.

Shen Fei answered the phone, and Zhou Qiankun's somewhat anxious voice came from the other end.

"Mr. Shen, there's a problem! The No. 1 Courtyard you asked me to contact... is no longer for sale!"
