Chapter 48 He's been messing around all along! [VIP]
How could the White Moonlight possibly be related to the Second Master?
And you even said you were going to harm the scumbag?
Ziyu was greatly shocked, and at the same time stared at Cheng Ru with extreme suspicion.
He still remembered this guy; he was a complete opportunist, following whoever was stronger. Last time, he remembered that this guy had also started an entertainment company and had produced quite a few celebrities. This time, he had been in a coma for six years, and he didn't know if he had followed the plot.
But no matter what, it's clear that this person is a smooth talker who is extremely likely to lie and exaggerate.
"Where did you hear that from?" Ziyu tried to remain calm. "Don't talk nonsense if you haven't confirmed it."
Whether he was drunk or wanted to show off the information he had specially obtained, Cheng Ru said smugly, "Mr. Ziyu, you underestimate me. The information I obtained is definitely true."
Cheng Ru still had some sense, so he didn't announce it loudly. Instead, he quietly leaned close to Ziyu's ear and said, "The Xia family has gone bankrupt!"
Ziyu's heart sank; he truly knew nothing about this.
Is this a hidden plot point?
Has Bai Yueguang gone bankrupt?
Cheng Ru continued, "It is said that the Xia family's bankruptcy was orchestrated by Tang Zuo, in order to force Xia Xiaoqiao to seek refuge in Qinyu Town."
"Then what about the story that he and Tang Zuo got together?"
Cheng Ru chuckled: "I know it was Tang Zuo who did it, but Young Master Xia doesn't. He only knows that Tang Zuo is the creditor his family owes money to, but he doesn't know that the Tang family is behind his family's bankruptcy. That Tang Zuo guy climbed up from the bottom, and he's full of lies. How could that young master possibly outwit him? He must have believed a few words from him. The two of them are in cahoots and are planning to take down the Qin family!"
After listening to Cheng Ru's words, Zi Yu remained silent for a while. Cheng Ru spoke with great conviction, as if he had really witnessed it with his own eyes.
After the initial shock subsided, Ziyu quickly calmed down and asked, "How did you know about something like this?"
Cheng Ru knew that few people would believe him, so he pushed up his glasses and said smugly in a low voice, "I overheard it."
“My entertainment company has a partnership with Tang’s Jiaxing Entertainment. A few days ago, I was planning to go over and discuss something with Tang Zuo, but I didn’t expect him to be talking to Xia Xiaoqiao right then and there.”
Cheng Ru's eyes were filled with the excitement of having just heard the gossip. He knew that his life after climbing up to Qin Yu Town was predictable, and he knew that as long as he didn't offend Qin Yu Town and pleased Zi Yu, whom Qin Yu Town cared about, his life could continue to be comfortable and worry-free.
He was naturally happy that something exciting and fun had finally come his way, not to mention that it was definitely something that would please Qin Yu Town.
“I heard everything,” Cheng Ru said. “Tang Zuo and the others just want Xia Xiaoqiao to use her connections to marry President Qin. Once they’re married, they can work together from the inside and outside to make sure President Qin is either dead or skinned alive. Tsk tsk tsk! I never thought those two would be so ruthless.”
Ziyu was completely dumbfounded.
Is this the kind of plot that should appear in a melodramatic, scumbag seme-uke novel?
Why are we suddenly bringing up these things?
And why is Tang Zuo involved again?
Cheng Ru felt much better after venting his feelings to Zi Yu. He said, "Mr. Zi Yu, you don't need to worry. Given how much President Qin cares about you, there's absolutely no way he would be with Xia Xiao Qiao, especially since today is your engagement ceremony."
Does Qin Yuzhen care about...him?
Ziyu felt a little depressed again.
He thought about what he had just overheard. He had been so confident that Bai Yueguang would win back Qin Yuzhen's heart, but he never expected to hear such a resolute rejection from Qin Yuzhen.
Even Cheng Ru, whom they hadn't seen for a long time, was so certain that they would end up together.
He didn't know why this playthrough had turned out this way.
I originally thought this second playthrough would be an easy windfall.
Now it feels like his pie is starting to look weird.
"Yuyu?"
Qin Yuzhen's voice rang out from behind.
Ziyu was startled.
He then remembered that he was originally trying to hide in Qinyu Town!
What are you doing here? Bored while waiting?
Fortunately, Qin Yuzhen didn't guess that Ziyu had overheard their conversation.
Cheng Ru was pleasantly surprised to see Qin Yuzhen and waved to him immediately.
"Hey, Mr. Qin!"
Qin Yuzhen then noticed that a portly Cheng Ru was standing next to Ziyu.
Cheng Ru originally wanted to tell the news he had overheard, but in an instant he saw Xia Xiaoqiao walking out from behind Qin Yuzhen, looking lost and dejected.
Cheng Ru swallowed back what he wanted to say.
Although the Xia family went bankrupt, he didn't need to be afraid of Xia Xiaoqiao. The problem was that Tang Zuo was standing behind Xia Xiaoqiao.
He couldn't beat the Tang family.
Cheng Ru thought for a moment, then nudged Ziyu with his elbow and whispered, "Mr. Ziyu, remember to remind President Qin."
Qin Yuzhen frowned when he saw Cheng Ru and Ziyu being intimate, and a feeling of displeasure welled up inside him.
Cheng Ru noticed this and quickly took a step back to distance himself from Zi Yu.
Qin Yuzhen's brows relaxed.
What a crazy man… Cheng Ru muttered to himself. He had been watching over Ziyu for six years, and it was said that Qin Yuzhen personally took care of almost all the hygiene during Ziyu’s coma.
Honestly, for these pampered rich kids, even if they really like someone, it's impossible for them to take such meticulous care of someone who might never wake up again, let alone make time to clean for them.
Those in their circle all believe that the outsider's claim that Ziyu is Qin Yuzhen's lapdog is completely false; it is clearly Qin Yuzhen who is hopelessly in love with Ziyu.
Qin Yuzhen held Ziyu's hand.
After being hit twice, Ziyu's palms were already sweaty, but the wind made them cold again.
Qin Yuzhen rubbed Ziyu's hand and frowned, saying, "Why is it so cold? Let's hurry down and get through the procedures, then go back and get some rest."
Ziyu nodded haphazardly: "Mmm...mmm."
His mind was in complete chaos, and he didn't know how to face Qin Yuzhen.
As for the plot... Ziyu only felt an urge to cry.
He had a vague feeling that the plot seemed, possibly, perhaps, truly irreversible.
*
Despite the commotion that had occurred, the hosts did not announce the cancellation of the engagement, so the guests could only pretend that nothing had happened and continue chatting and laughing while waiting for the Qin family's response.
However, this time, some disapproval was still evident on the faces of the guests.
"It's only been a short time and there's already blood... Tsk tsk, what bad luck."
"No way! I felt the environment was off as soon as I walked in. Who provides such sharp wine glasses? It's not good from the start!"
Do you think this engagement party can still go ahead?
"If you ask me, we should probably skip it. Didn't the other main character say he was in a vegetative state for six years? It's too hasty to have an engagement right after he woke up."
"I have a vague feeling, I mean a very vague feeling, that something bad will happen after this engagement party."
"How could that be? The Qin family isn't some small, insignificant sect. What just happened was just an accident. Are we going to have three or four more accidents at this engagement banquet?"
"Who knows! If there are really that many, then we'll just have to treat it as a joke."
After regaining her composure, Qin's mother followed the host onto the stage, but she stood on the side of the stage.
She explained everything clearly to Ziyu and Qinyuzhen, giving them countless instructions.
In any case, Qin's mother was a well-established heiress who valued her reputation highly. If it weren't for her previous dream and her son's persistence, she wouldn't have agreed to accept Ziyu.
Now, she can't let someone ruin her engagement party that she's been waiting for so long!
The host began to speak.
Nothing else went wrong this time.
After the host finished his blessings, it was naturally the turn of both sets of parents to give their speeches.
Previously, Qin's mother had said a lot to attract guests, but now that it was time for a formal blessing speech, she felt a little nervous.
After all, this was her son's first engagement party—thinking of her son's obsession with Ziyu, Qin's mother thought it would probably be the last.
If Xia Xiaoqiao's incident hadn't happened, it should be over by now.
Qin's mother started complaining about Xia Xiaoqiao again.
She cleared her throat and began to deliver her long-prepared speech.
Ziyu has no parents, so only Qin's parents speak to him.
"Today is my son Qin Yuzhen's engagement banquet with Ziyu..."
Before she finished speaking, a commotion suddenly erupted below.
"My God... I thought President Qin would be someone special, but I never expected him to be so chaotic in private?"
"No way, this thing must be fake. I've practically watched Qin's son grow up, how could he do something like this?"
"I knew it, there were so many things going on at this engagement party."
Qin's mother's heart skipped a beat, and Qin's father's expression changed. He pulled Qin's mother down to look at his phone.
Just now, someone posted a message that was almost veiled in its malice, and the content was all about Qinyu Town.
[The heir to the Qin Group, using the guise of an ordinary person to portray a deeply affectionate character, is secretly a vile and despicable individual! He deceives others' feelings! He uses an entertainment company as a cover for engaging in unethical practices, coercing and intimidating others!]
The content of the post, especially the first image, attracted the attention of most people.
The first picture shows a lavish private room environment, which looks luxurious and extravagant. Qin Yuzhen is surrounded by a group of beautiful women, while he is dressed in disheveled clothes, looking tired as he leans against the sofa with his eyes slightly narrowed. His already exquisite and handsome face becomes the center of attention in the photo under the light.
The sense of decadence and debauchery of the fallen aristocracy conveyed in this picture is simply overwhelming.
Over the years, QY's development momentum has been unmatched. It is backed by the Qin family, has the star Mingyu in its hands, and has the cheat-like ability to choose scripts like Qin Yuzhen.
It was almost like a rising star.
Even Jiaxing Entertainment of the Tang Group had to admit defeat.
Not to mention Qin Yuzhen's outstanding appearance and his willingness to guard Ziyu for six years, there are many people on the internet who use him to prove that there is true love even in wealthy families.
Now, the appearance of this post is tantamount to slapping the face of everyone who believed this, and it also drags QY Company into the mess.
It's hard to guarantee that from now on, artists from QY Company won't be viewed with prejudice.
The remaining content details Qin Yuzhen's oppression of the company's staff and his harsh treatment of the good-looking artists, starting from the time QY Company was established.
The poster seemed afraid people wouldn't believe it, so they also posted many pictures of Qinyu Town and the artists.
In the pictures, Qin Yuzhen almost always has a cold face, and when the artists approach him, their faces are flushed. They either kneel on the ground or try to get close to Qin Yuzhen.
In short, Qin Yuzhen cheated on Ziyu and had an affair despite having him as her boyfriend.
The poster concluded by saying...
"Today, shortly after this ordinary person woke up, he was dragged to Qinyu Town for an engagement. I couldn't bear to see him being deceived and used under a false name, so I posted this. As for the content, let people decide for themselves!"
"If you can see this, leave him immediately and don't marry him!"
He'll definitely get you killed!
