[How could anyone think Shen Xingcan and Shen Lingxun unrelated? They look so alike!]
"The person I want to ask is Xingcan. Last time Xingcan said that my second brother was in France. Does my second brother work in France?"
This time, Shen Xingcan didn't refuse to answer, "Yes, I work there."
"May I ask what kind of job it is?"
Shen Xingcan smiled and said, "Jewelry designer."
"Okay, thank you Xingcan for answering my question. I've finished asking."
After the connection was cut off, the live stream chat was thrown into chaos again because of Shen Xingcan's previous response.
One person said it's common knowledge that Empress Shen's second son is a jewelry designer and has lived in France for many years. The other person said that if Shen Xingcan is really Shen Lingxun's youngest son, why doesn't he answer the question just now?
Bai Lin wasn't surprised by Shen Xingcan's words; was he just being deliberately mysterious? A mix of truth and falsehood was more effective.
"Since Xingcan's second brother is in France, we can go find Xingcan after we get France."
Shen Xingcan sighed, "Of course we can ask him, but we might not need him. We don't know where in France we're going, and my second brother's house can't be renovated all over France."
Bai Lin's smile froze.
[Haha, I knew this wicked cat was up to no good.]
Who are you clicking on?
"It's all set now, we're going to Paris."
The director spoke loudly from behind the camera.
International flights usually require applications to be submitted a week in advance, so when Xie Linchuan clearly informed them that they would be traveling to France by private jet, the production team had already determined the final destination.
Shen Xingcan nodded. "Then we can go find him; he happens to be in France."
Bai Lin: "What a coincidence? Then we'll have a chance to meet Xingcan's second brother."
He wanted to see where Shen Xingcan would find a second brother after arriving in France, hehe.
Shen Xingcan watched with great interest as Bai Lin's smug expression grew. Let Bai Lin be happy for a few days; the happier he is, the more surprised he will be when they arrive in France.
It would be so boring if he scared Bai Lin back now.
"Speaking of which, if all of us were to go, Xingcan's place probably wouldn't be able to accommodate so many of us. I also have a villa in Paris, so you can all stay at my place."
As if getting carried away, Bai Lin paused, then, as if remembering something, continued, "Speaking of which, we're unfamiliar with France, so the production team will definitely need to hire a guide. Rather than letting someone else profit from this, why not let Xingcan's brother earn the money? Xingcan, what do you think?"
Shen Xingcan's smile deepened, "If the production team can afford his appearance fee, I have no objection."
Bai Lin replied without hesitation, "The production team can definitely afford it; three times the amount would be no problem."
Even a moderately well-known jewelry designer, how much money could they possibly have?
The director immediately spoke up from behind the camera, "Don't speak for the production team, they can't afford it."
They are just a TV production team, not a royal family, a conglomerate, or a top luxury brand.
Bai Lin wasn't angry at the director's words; instead, he readily agreed, "Sure, I'll pay for it then."
Shen Xingcan: "I've really made something of myself, managing to find a job for my second brother. Once we get to France, he'll definitely feel a sense of pride and joy, like a younger brother finally growing up."
Xie Linchuan: "Are you sure your second brother is relieved and not looking to beat you up?"
Shen Xingcan didn't care. "I'm not afraid of him, and you're still here, aren't you? One against two, we'll definitely win. Besides, Dad's in France on business right now. If he dares to hit me, I'll go back and tell on him, hmph."
Shen Xingcan was the youngest son in the family, and compared to his older brothers, he looked more like Ms. Shen Lingxun and had a similar personality.
Therefore, compared to the eldest and second eldest sons, the patriarch of the renowned Konoh Family clearly favored his youngest son.
Shen Xingcan argued confidently, "Besides, working as a tour guide can refresh his mind, and maybe he'll have more inspiration when he gets back."
In the end, he even came to believe that he was truly thinking of his second brother.
Several more connections were then established.
After the video call ended, Shen Xingcan wasn't completely drunk, but her eyes were still inevitably a little dazed.
Fearing he might fall due to unsteadiness, Xie Linchuan simply carried him back to the bedroom.
But once they got to the bedroom, Shen Xingcan showed no intention of getting off Xie Linchuan.
Shen Xingcan said imperiously, "Carry me to the bathroom. I need to take a shower; I smell awful with alcohol."
Xie Linchuan retorted, "You won't even walk a few steps? Shen Xingcan, can you be any lazier?"
Despite this, Xie Linchuan still put Shen Xingcan in the bathroom.
Shen Xingcan: "Find me a bathrobe."
Xie Linchuan moved quickly; by the time Shen Xingcan was unbuttoning the third button of her shirt, Xie Linchuan had already placed the bathrobe in front of Shen Xingcan.
Shen Xingcan chuckled and looked at the person behind her through the bathroom mirror, "So fast? Is Teacher Xie afraid of seeing something she shouldn't?"
Xie Linchuan readily admitted, "Yes."
Shen Xingcan turned around, hugged Xie Linchuan's waist, and looked up. "I'm the one being watched and I don't mind, so why are you more bothered than me? Or do you not want to see? Hmm?"
