Chapter 64 (1/2)
“Huh? He’s out?”
Master Bin stood alone, having photographed nearly every car present. He was engrossed in posting all the images to the forum, causing a flurry of excitement. After all, every man harbored dreams of owning a luxury car.
Suddenly, he overheard his friend and others discussing someone referred to as “he.” Master Bin immediately realized they were talking about Second Young Master Gu.
Eager to find out more, he approached and asked, “Is it Second Young Master Gu? Where is he?” With so many people around, he didn't know which direction to look.
Master Bin didn’t know the other person’s name either.
“There, surrounded by people — that’s probably him, though it’s hard to see.”
The others didn’t bother greeting Master Bin. To them, he was just an insignificant figure, someone who could be ignored. They were only tolerating his presence for a few days of fun.
Master Bin glanced in the direction indicated, but his view was obstructed by the crowd. There were many people who wanted to get close to Second Young Master Gu.
His friend, who had brought him, remained still. It was clear he was hesitant, probably because such a rare opportunity to be in the same room as Second Young Master Gu was not to be taken lightly.
“Why didn’t you bring your girlfriend today?” someone teased.
“We broke up ages ago,” Master Bin’s friend replied casually.
“It’s a shame you like women. Otherwise, with your looks, you might have managed to get closer.”
Master Bin perked up his ears, sensing an underlying meaning in their conversation.
His friend soon clarified, “I’m bisexual, alright? I like men too. But even if we're a bit vain, we’re still not up to snuff to catch Second Young Master Gu’s eye.”
He is gay? Master Bin glanced in that direction, feeling a strange restlessness.
Suddenly, the crowd seemed to part slightly, as if the clouds were clearing. Master Bin lifted his head.
He saw a young, handsome man wearing sunglasses, casually standing beside a sports car and inspecting it, with staff members attending to him.
So, this must be Second Young Master Gu.
Master Bin discreetly took a photo with his phone. It was a bit distant, not very clear, only revealing general outlines.
He instinctively wanted to boast on the forum but then noticed someone in the photo, who looked very familiar.
Although Master Bin had never seen Lin Xu in person, he recognized the photos. He hadn’t identified him immediately, but the more he looked, the more familiar the face became.
He kept glancing in that direction and finally noticed that Lin Xu and Second Young Master Gu seemed to be very close, whispering to each other from time to time. As a gay man, Master Bin couldn’t miss the intimate atmosphere between them.
Could it be that Lin Xu was being kept by Second Young Master Gu? No wonder there had been talk in the group chat about him hooking up with a fabulously rich tycoon.
Rather than feeling disdain, Master Bin felt a surge of jealousy. After all, Second Young Master Gu was someone even his rich friends wouldn’t dare approach, yet he actually took a liking to Lin Xu? What kind of sh*t luck was this?
Despite his envy, Master Bin soon had another idea. He lowered his gaze and posted the photo to the forum.
“Everyone, shocking news! Remember how many people accused me of slandering? I drove Lin Xu away, but today I saw his sugar daddy.”
“???”
The crowd, who had been engrossed in examining the cars, suddenly perked up. There had been endless debates about Lin Xu, but now Master Bin claimed to have evidence?
If it was true, Lin Xu would indeed be nailed to the pillar of shame, and those who had defended him would also be very embarrassed.
“You can see Lin Xu in the photo, and the other person is Second Young Master Gu, his sugar daddy.” The photo clearly showed the two of them being quite affectionate.
However, while this revelation could confirm Lin Xu’s situation, it seemed that few people actually looked down on him for it.
After all...
“His sugar daddy is so young, handsome, and rich.”
“Lin Xu is indeed good-looking, so it's not surprising he got picked.”
For a moment, most responses were filled with envy. If the photo had shown an old, portly man, the reaction would have been entirely different.
“So he's really a kept man. Zhizhi Mangmang is pitiful. He even deleted the group chat for him, but who knew his boyfriend ran off with someone else?”
“Young guys are like that, so fickle...”
Although Master Bin wasn’t entirely comfortable, he couldn’t help but boast, “For those who thought I was wrong before, are you ready to apologize now?”
Yu Shu, who had been compiling evidence, was surprised to see the forum had escalated to this level. He looked at the photo Master Bin had posted and suddenly laughed. If his own evidence wasn't comprehensive enough, Master Bin had unwittingly provided the missing piece.
Noting the increasing number of replies, he saw familiar display names — mostly old group members, with a few passersby. The fresh scandal had drawn more attention, likely from the gay circle in the capital.
Amidst the chaos, Yu Shu finally replied to the thread, “Funny. Do you even know who Lin Xu is? Who could afford to keep him?”
His display name hadn't changed, so it was obvious that he was a fan of Lin Xu.
Yu Shu’s comment sparked widespread curiosity.
“Who else could Lin Xu be but the young fresh meat the group admin found, the new student from Q University? Now, he’s infamous in the gay circle in the capital.”
“What do you mean? We’re not idiots. Of course we know who he is,” Master Bin replied with a scowl, feeling Yu Shu was being deliberately vague. He had seen the truth with his own eyes — how could it be false?
As more and more people asked questions and the tone of their comments grew harsher, Yu Shu’s mood improved.
He directly shared the information he had gathered. Pictures clearly revealed Lin Xu’s true identity — he wasn’t just anyone but the child of the Lin family, the leading figures in real estate industry.
The Lin Real Estate was well-known. After all, who didn't aspire to own a home developed by such top-tier developers?
But the fact that Lin Xu was connected to the Lin Real Estate was something no one had anticipated or believed.
“You're full of shit. If what you’re saying is true, then there must be rich young masters everywhere. These few pictures don’t prove anything.”
“Tsk tsk, here’s something even funnier. The photos Amour posted in the group were taken at a hotel owned by the Lin family. Do you remember Amour?”
Master Bin found the connection to Amour increasingly bizarre.
“Why are you bringing up Amour? Wasn’t he proven as a fraud in the group? We’re talking about Lin Xu now. Are you trying to clear Amour’s name too?”
“Thinking about it now, Zhizhi Mangmang is really unlucky, getting involved with two such scumbags.”
“Passerby here, your group chat is really lively.”
Master Bin felt a sudden pang of anxiety. He turned to his friend and asked, “Is that guy next to Second Young Master Gu his kept boy?”
His friend looked at him with confusion, not realizing that the two were in a relationship. They were simply whispering about something among themselves.
“What nonsense are you talking? It’s a good thing no one else overheard you. Otherwise, you’d be in trouble. That guy is the youngest son of the Lin family.
“He’s only recently appeared in the circle. I didn’t expect him to be here with Second Young Master Gu today. Do you really think a kept boyfriend would be so influential that Second Young Master Gu would personally bring him here?
“They couldn't possibly be together. They must be friends. After all, the two families can't have an internal relationship...”
Master Bin’s face turned pale.
He didn’t believe the comments in the group, but his friend, who was more in the know, was absolutely reliable.
Looking at the two figures in the distance now, Master Bin felt a sense of defeat. He had just been envious of Lin Xu, only to realize that Lin Xu was from a completely different world.
Seeing the foolish remarks he had made on the forum, Master Bin felt ashamed. If the truth were revealed, he would be embarrassed to meet anyone in person again. Yet, the fire had already been stoked.
Many people were eager to find out who was right and wanted to get to the bottom of things.
“If you don’t believe it, why not have Master Bin ask in person? After all, didn’t he say he could speak to Second Young Master Gu?” Yu Shu suggested.
People agreed, thinking it made sense, and urged Master Bin to go and ask, hoping he would prove Yu Shu wrong. Passersby were also particularly interested in the outcome.
To everyone’s surprise, Master Bin seemed to have vanished.
“Has he not asked yet or is he hiding?” Yu Shu pressed further. These rumor-mongers never seemed to think things through.
He tagged several names — those who had been most vocal in the group targeting Amour and Zhizhi Mangmang and now Lin Xu — one by one.
“By the way, aren't you curious about the connection between Amour and all this? Hehe, Amour is Lin Xu. Not only is he young and handsome, but he also comes from a wealthy family. He probably never imagined that posting a photo of his family home would get him labeled a scammer, making him too scared to say anything after that. Now you should know that the group admin is actually Second Young Master Gu, the guy you were all fawning over just now.”
The people Yu Shu had tagged were stunned into silence. With Master Bin’s disappearance, people began to believe Yu Shu’s claims.
The most excited now were the other group members and onlookers.
“No way? If this is true, then our group really did end up with a high-class, wealthy guy. They must have hit it off.”
“It makes sense. At the time, everyone was calling Amour a fraud... Who would have thought he had a hotel? But it’s clear he probably doesn’t think much of us now.”
“It's not our fault. It was clearly Zoe who secretly instigated it. We were victims too. He stepped on a landmine and then had the nerve to drag others down. Little did he know that the other guy doesn't care about these petty tricks.”
“If only I managed to hook up with Amour back then. Who would have thought he was a high school student in disguise? He was probably still figuring out his orientation, so he was surfing the net. Before he got involved with Zhizhi Mangmang, he was actually pretty enthusiastic. Sigh...”
Especially those who had flirted with Amour felt as though they had lost millions. They regretted not being more persistent. Even if they had broken up later, they would have gained quite a few benefits.
Among them, some 1s regretted not stepping in during the conflict with Zhizhi Mangmang. They had underestimated Zhizhi Mangmang, thinking he was just an ordinary-looking guy. If they had intervened, they might already struck it rich now. That was the Gu family, after all.
Suddenly, the forum went wild again, with a flood of new visitors. Many had seen Xiao Zhe’s video.
What was initially thought to be a fabricated story now seemed to perfectly align with the drama unfolding on the forum. It turned out there really was such a group chat — complete with such outrageous members.
“Wow, are there many group members here? I’m really curious about everyone’s thoughts. Two wealthy young masters were driven out of the group — how impressive is that?”
“It’s really dumb. The guy posted photos of his family’s hotel, and no one believed it. If I were in the group, I wouldn’t have missed such a chance.”
“Plus, I checked the photos, and they’re really two handsome guys. These handsome men have come down from the heavens to share themselves, yet you guys let them have each other.”
“Wow, it’s actually true.”
“It’s not our fault but those few bad apples. If we had known, we should have had the admin kick them out. Otherwise, we might have had a chance to meet in person and see the world...”
In the comments below Xiao Zhe’s video, many people noted they had found the real-life counterparts, telling everyone to go check out the information and ship them. They also declared they would be watching Xiao Zhe’s videos daily from now on, since they were legit.
