An Unexpected Identity Reveal

Chen Yu took a young man under his wing.

The kid had a tragic background, and Chen Yu's heart softened.

Only later did he learn the young master had more money than he did.

.

When Pei Jinghong was young, he had a neighbor's older brother he couldn't forget.

The man lived alone in a penthouse, supporting himself with scholarships and part-time jobs.

Then he went back to the Pei family and moved abroad. After that, there was no word from him.

When they met again, a huge misunderstanding ensued.

.

Pei Jinghong: Here's what happened. That day, my sister put mustard in my thermos. It was so spicy I cried, and I was so mad I hit her up for half a million.

Chen Yu: The kid looked so pitiful, crying prettily in front of a rich woman. He took his breakup money, went straight to a gay bar, and started hitting on me.

.

Pei Jinghong: I found a handsome guy to hook up with. The next morning, I realized he was the older boy who lived next door when I was little. So I told him my dad was dead and my mom had cancer.

.

Chen Yu: The kid had a tragic background and was good-looking, so I took him under my wing and paid his mom's medical bills.

.

Pei Jinghong: Later, I got caught pretending to be poor.

Chen Yu: Later, I found out his family had even more money than mine. And his brother was my business partner.
