Fake Husband of the Glamorous CEO

Liu Yuan was driving while laughing and said, "Do you think you went a bit overboard this time in getting someone?"

Currently, only Liu Yuan knew about Lin Yue's current situation and plans.

"What do you mean?" Lin Yue didn't understand.

Liu Yuan said, "I remember Auntie (Mrs. Lin) mentioning that your fiancé from the Su Family had a rank of a lieutenant this year, and you got someone to pretend to be a lieutenant colonel? Isn't that a bit of a stretch?"

Lin Yue really had no idea about military ranks and levels; in fact, many people in life don't understand these military hierarchies.

She asked her bestie, "Is there a difference?"

"The difference is huge," said Liu Yuan, giving her a look. "Under the current circumstances, without wars to quickly rise through the ranks, a military person's promotion depends not only on seniority but also on achievements to get promoted, especially for big thresholds like moving from junior officer to senior officer, where the difficulty of the assessment for promotion is even greater."

"And the biggest BUG in this photo is on the strategy chapter badge; it's safe to say that the company you found is too unprofessional."

"This strategy chapter badge signifies only 8 years of military service, but it's indicating the rank of a full colonel, which is even more ridiculous."

"Let me put it this way to you, to match this age with this speed of promotion, aside from being from a Beijing North Big Courtyard elite family, one would also need to have earned quite a few significant honors!"

As she said this, Liu Yuan looked at Lin Yue weirdly, "Anyone with eyes can see it's fake. It's not that such extraordinary people don't exist, but no one would believe that someone with such an extraordinary background would take an interest in the Lin Family!"

Just imagine, even the Su Family, where the highest-ranking elder is just a senior officer, looks down on the Lin Family, let alone a family with three generations of senior officers?

Liu Yuan said, "So, the person you found is clueless about faking backgrounds, you really went over the top!"

Lin Yue truly hadn't paid attention to this detail; she took out her phone and, after thinking it over, decided to delete Gu Feng's solo photo.

Liu Yuan comforted her, "Don't worry too much, people in our circle don't have the means to check with the military district about someone; this phony husband of yours won't be exposed anytime soon."

Lin Yue fell silent.

She thought to herself that she needed to remind Gu Feng to be careful not to boast deliberately; let others speculate about his background as they will, all she needed on her end was not to slip up and expose the lie.

...

When Gu Feng got home, he discovered that his passport was missing from his suitcase.

He was both amused and resigned; he didn't even need to ask to know his mom, Yu Ling, had hidden it.

No mother doesn't worry about her child.

Even though Gu Feng was already approaching thirty, he was forever a child in his parents' eyes.

Gu Feng was going to be gone for three years this time, and his mother worried about his safety every single day.

In the past, he had carried out missions with organization and discipline, but this time, he was going off alone to risk his life!

This time, she must hide the passport well to prevent this youngster from running off again.

"Where did you run off to the moment you got back? Your butt hasn't even warmed the seat," Yu Ling came to the doorway of the room upon seeing her son return and called out, "I made your favorite soy sauce noodles—come and eat."

Gu Feng, feeling guilty, stuffed his household registration into his bag, and when his mom turned away, he quickly sneaked into her room and shoved the booklet into a drawer.

Then he went to the kitchen.

His dad hadn't come back from work yet.

Yu Ling watched Gu Feng eat his noodles.

A few years ago, when her son left for several years at a time, she would have greeted him with stern words and a meaty beating, but seeing her son alive and back home, all her anger dissipated as a mother.

"I don't blame you for quitting your job, and I even tolerated you deciding on your own to go abroad for several years, but this time, no matter what, you have to get married," she said.

"You're the only child in our family. I can't persuade you to stop taking risks and risking your life abroad, and I'm tired! Either bring home a big, chubby grandson or granddaughter, and from then on, your dad and I won't care how you choose to live your life."

Gu Feng nodded silently, "You're not asking me to find someone of equal social standing anymore?"

Yu Ling gave her son a look, "Who doesn't know that'd be hoping for too much from you?"

Gu Feng chuckled, "So should I find a girl from out of town?"

Yu Ling nodded, "Now I have no requirements whatsoever, as long as the girl doesn't mind your psychological trauma, I'm all set to light incense and pray."

"Right." Gu Feng wiped his mouth with a napkin, "Then I'll make a trip to the Magic Capital tomorrow, consider it a change of scenery."

Yu Ling replied, "That's good, you can't find anyone here anyway. Going out of town works too. Your third uncle was transferred to Jiangcheng a few years back, remember to pay him a visit when you have the chance."

As she spoke and saw that her son had finished eating, Yu Ling cleared the table, "Hurry up and leave before your dad gets back. Get yourself settled in the Magic Capital, and I'll come to visit you later."

Gu Feng nodded, got up, and walked out of the courtyard.
