Fourth Brother, You're My God

Shen Yu typed back: "That definitely won't work. Since that couple came up with a plan like this, they must have prepared for every possible outcome.

"Between an ordinary job with a mediocre income and having piles of money despite a slightly ruined reputation, it's obvious which one they'll choose."

"Right. Compared to her husband, her son might actually be the breakthrough. Didn't Can Can say her son is a real bastard? And if they haven't had time to tell him about their plan yet..." Shen Ze hit send.

At the same time, Shen Can thought of that person. At this point, Zeng Mei's son probably still doesn't know about the plan. If someone went up to him and told him that his father had abused his mother so badly that she had to hide at her best friend's house, he'd definitely get angry. And if there were other people around, he'd be even angrier.

If those people happened to be the type who loved watching a show, then someone as prideful as him definitely wouldn't be able to take it. He'd come looking for his mother to save face for himself.

Shen Yu continued typing in response to Shen Can's thoughts: "He'll definitely say that there's nothing wrong at all between his parents, just to save face."

Shen Yao immediately spoke up. "Big Brother, find out where her son is right now. I'll go see him immediately, and check whether any of his lousy friends like watching drama unfold."

Shen Can was still thinking when he suddenly saw his fourth brother shoot to his feet. "Fourth Brother, are you going out?" Shen Can asked in confusion.

"Yeah, a friend asked me to go out at the last minute. I'll probably be back late. Is there anything you want me to bring you, Can Can?" Shen Yao waited for Shen Can's answer, and only left after hearing that there was nothing he wanted.

Having already figured out how to handle things, Shen Can planned to return to his room. He still felt a little unwell and wanted to sleep. As for the plan, he could carry it out tomorrow night.

After saying goodnight to his parents and three brothers, Shen Can returned to his room. The moment he entered, he flopped onto the bed. Duke of Zhou, Shen Can was coming for you.

After a lovely night's sleep, Shen Can went downstairs after getting up and heard people discussing something below. When he listened closely, he was stunned—it was actually about Zeng Mei.

Zeng Mei had actually been forcibly taken away by her son. He had even claimed that his parents had a wonderful relationship and didn't need anyone else meddling in their affairs.

Wait, he hadn't even made a move yet. How had Zeng Mei's problem already been resolved? Her son's words must have hurt Mom's feelings to some extent. She definitely wouldn't trust Zeng Mei so easily again. How had this been solved so inexplicably?

How could it be such a coincidence? Shen Can was still wondering why when Shen Yao took the initiative to explain. "The place my friend invited me to yesterday happened to be where Aunt Zeng's son was. I accidentally mentioned that Aunt Zeng was staying at our house, and I didn't expect him to overhear it. He immediately said I was talking nonsense."

Shen Can looked at Shen Yao, saying, "It's not Fourth Brother's fault," while wildly praising him in his heart. Fourth Brother, you're incredible! That trip out the door was absolutely brilliant! Right now, I just want to say that classic line: You're my god!!!

Since Fourth Brother solved it, I don't have to work myself to the bone. Woohoo, another day of lying flat! If the plot could be ruined so casually by my fourth brother, then it can definitely be changed later too. Hmph, just watch how I handle this tiny little plot.

Hearing Shen Can's lively inner voice, the entire family smiled faintly. They had already agreed not to tell Shen Can that they could hear his thoughts.

First, they were afraid of scaring Shen Can and making him afraid to think about this or that, bottling everything up until he became withdrawn.

Second, they were afraid that revealing it might bring about some unknown consequences. After all, being able to hear Shen Can's thoughts was already something fantastical.

Of course, whenever Shen Can thought about private matters, they would avoid him. They had already discovered that if they were a certain distance away, they could no longer hear Shen Can's inner voice.

Still, they were puzzled. Plot? Did that mean they were characters in some television drama or novel? But they knew perfectly well that they were real people. Still, never mind. They would surely learn the truth gradually.

"Can Can, now that you've just returned from abroad, have you thought about what you want to do? Your brother can invest in you." Shen Ze walked over, put an arm around Shen Can, and spoke.

Shen Can had not yet decided what he wanted to do, so he put him off for now. Shen Yu sat at the dining table and looked at Shen Can. "Can Can, you've only just returned to the country. Play for a while first; there's no rush. Come eat."

During the meal, Shen Yu also told Shen Can to let him know if his allowance was ever insufficient. Shen Can nodded, though he actually still had money. The Shen Household had never been stingy with his yearly allowance, and he also received dividends at the end of each year from the company shares his mother had left him.

Ah, what a wonderful life. Not only do I have money, but my family is so good to me. So I absolutely can't let the Shen Household end up like it did in the plot. Shen Corporation can never again be swallowed up by the male lead's family.

Upon hearing Shen Can's thoughts, Shen Yao was incredulous for a moment. Although he did not know much about business, he knew Shen Corporation had always advanced steadily, and his eldest brother's business instincts were exceptional. How could their company possibly be swallowed up by someone else?

But he knew this was not the time to ask. They had agreed long ago that no matter what they heard in Shen Can's inner thoughts, they had to remain calm.

After eating, Shen Can was just about to go upstairs and learn about the gaming market here—what kinds of games were widely accepted and which ones were popular.

But Liu Yuwen called out to him. "Can Can, there's a banquet tonight for Old Master Wang's birthday. It's the one I mentioned to you before. Do you want to come with us?"

Shen Can was about to say no when he suddenly remembered something. "I'll go."

Thinking of tonight's plot, Shen Can felt that he could not possibly miss it. Tonight is going to be incredibly lively. Basically every family that appeared in the book will be there.

Hmm, let me think. Old Master Wang's current wife actually has an improper relationship with Old Master Wang's eldest son. And everyone catches them in an intimate moment. What an enormous bed indeed.

Shen Hong was drinking soup when he heard this and choked. Liu Yuwen immediately patted his back while saying, "Drink slowly." Shen Hong thought, Is this something drinking slowly can solve?

He remembered that Old Master Wang's current wife was nearly half his age, and she was about the same age as his son.

And the Wang Household was a mess as well. Old Master Wang refused to hand over power, so naturally the family had to try every possible way to stir things up. He just had not expected them to get involved with their nominal mother.

Then comes a huge, dramatic catfight. Cups and random objects go flying everywhere. How could a moment like this be without our protagonist? At that critical moment, the protagonist shou makes a dazzling entrance and blocks a cup for Old Master Wang, earning Old Master Wang's gratitude.

Not only does he show off his courage and kindness, but he also gets to enter A City's elite social circle. After becoming Old Master Wang's benefactor, the male lead's mother finally allows him to present himself within the circle as the male lead's boyfriend.

The moment Shen Chi heard Shen Can's thoughts, he said, "Mom, I'm going tonight too." Liu Yuwen asked with amusement, "You're not reading your script anymore?" What was a script compared to watching drama unfold?

Besides, the male lead would swallow up the Shen Household, and he was curious about who exactly the male lead and protagonist shou were. Due to his career in the entertainment industry, Shen Chi rarely had time to attend banquets and such with them. Shen Hong made the decision. "Then the whole family will go tonight."
