He was practically a pretty boy at the top of the food chain. Once he'd gotten what he wanted, Su Qi started looking for a chance to make a getaway. The young man raised an eyebrow and leaned back against the sofa, looking lazy and carefree, with a faintly mocking smile. "A divorce?" "What, has your male model troupe hired someone new?"

Then, one day, his father told him: "The family is bankrupt." "!!" How could this have happened so suddenly?! With no other choice, Yuan Chu packed his things and dropped out amid a chorus of jeers. But then a stretch limousine made a grand entrance. In full view of everyone, a dazzlingly handsome CEO stepped out and walked up to him, gazing at him with deep affection. "Dad, I'm here to take you home." "?" From that day on, he had several "good sons." For example, Son Number One, who had spent his life in a CEO romance-novel plot. He had just run into the poor female lead, who slapped him and said, "I would never give a rich man like you a second look!" The CEO sneered. "Then leave." Then he turned around and came to Yuan Chu, looking deeply aggrieved. "Dad, someone made fun of me for being too rich." Surrounded by delicious food and a bevy of maids whose every gentle, attentive gesture was for him alone, Yuan Chu blinked. "It's okay. I don't mind." "Dad really is the best, with the best taste."
