Less than ten minutes after Tang Yue went in, Xu Zhen came out, pale-faced, with unsteady steps and trembling lips, as if she had been quite frightened.
Yu Wan raised her eyebrows with great interest, thinking to herself: What did Tang Yue do? Could he have beaten someone up inside?
"Miss Yu, I'm so sorry, we were wrong." Xu Zhen forced a professional smile, bowed slightly, and her attitude was extremely polite: "I have withdrawn the charges, and I hope you will not pursue the matter. Rest assured, I promise to be more careful in the future and will never let Pei Feng appear in front of you again. Please be magnanimous and forgive us this time."
Yu Wan's nonchalant expression gradually returned to normal: "What did Tang Yue talk to you about?"
Just as Xu Zhen was about to speak, he suddenly sensed an intense and undeniable gaze. With a bad feeling, he looked over, only to meet eyes that were gentle and clear, without a trace of sharpness. Even so, a chill inexplicably crept into his heart again, making him shiver.
"I have something to do, I'll be going now."
He was so frightened that he fled in panic.
Yu Wan frowned with some suspicion and glanced sideways at Tang Yue.
The handsome man with the beautiful eyebrows and eyes smiled slightly at her, his smile gentle and charming, and he was very elegant.
"What did you do?" Yu Wan wasn't going to let him get away with it. She felt like she'd been scratched by a cat's paw, extremely curious. Before Tang Yue appeared, Xu Zhen had acted as if he were unafraid of power and determined to fight against evil forces to the end. How could he have become as cowardly as a mouse in the blink of an eye?
"I threatened him hard." Tang Yue said slowly, "I said I would expose the club's surveillance video and work with the media to hype it up, so that Pei Feng would be trending on social media for 'sexual harassment.' Then I would just spend some money to hire online trolls to create negative news. Pei Feng is at most a popular young actor whose career is on the rise. If he is exposed for scandals at this time, even if he doesn't leave the entertainment industry, it will be difficult for him to return to his peak."
He deliberately concealed the video, after all, it would be difficult for someone who was already bankrupt to use so many connections to obtain such damaging information about Pei Feng in such a short time.
Yu Wan was skeptical: "That's it?"
Tang Yue nodded.
Yu Wan stared at him for a long time, but couldn't figure out anything from his handsome face. She then turned her gaze to Meng Shen and asked, "What do you think?"
Tang Yue also looked at Meng Shen with a smile.
Meng Shen wanted to cry but had no tears.
He's just a helpless and vulnerable little darling, why make things difficult for him? Life is really too hard.
"Of course, Tang Shao's negotiation skills are simply amazing." Meng Shen gave a thumbs up and displayed his superb acting skills: "You didn't see it, Xu Zhen's expression froze instantly, just like in a movie, hahaha."
Yu Wan barely managed to look away when her face was almost frozen from smiling, as if she had believed what they said.
Meng Shen had just breathed a sigh of relief when his stomach suddenly growled loudly at the most inopportune moment. His face flushed, and he awkwardly scratched his head, chuckling sheepishly, "I haven't eaten since this morning."
"You haven't eaten all day?" Tang Yue frowned, glancing at his phone; it was already six o'clock in the evening.
Meng Shen immediately fell silent, lowered his head, and tried to make himself as inconspicuous as possible.
After being reminded by them, Yu Wan suddenly realized that she hadn't eaten anything all day, her stomach was empty, and she even had a slight ache.
The Maybach was parked in front of the police station.
Meng Shen couldn't drive after drinking, so he rolled his eyes, readily opened the back seat, and lay down on it, starting to play the drama queen: "No, I'm so dizzy, I need to lie down for a while."
He secretly squinted at Tang Yue's face and saw the faint smile in his eyes. He immediately felt that he had made the right move and began to perform even more energetically, constantly groaning "Ouch!"
Yu Wan: "..."
Why has my brother suddenly become so delicate?
Could it be...
He's taken a liking to Tang Yue!!!
Yu Wan's mind went blank, and she found it hard to accept the truth. She had just fastened her seatbelt in the passenger seat when she heard Tang Yue say, "I've already made a reservation at a restaurant. The food here is light and quite good. You haven't eaten all day, so you should avoid greasy and spicy food, or you'll get a stomachache."
It was late autumn, and night fell early, with the streetlights just coming on. The dim yellow light shone through the glass onto Tang Yue's face, casting a soft glow.
He gazed at me, his eyes bright and intense, with a tender and doting look in them.
Yu Wan hastily looked away: "Whatever."
She pretended to look out the window, her ears slightly red, and in the quiet carriage, one could almost hear her heart pounding wildly like a drum.
The next moment, his lips twitched!
What's with this inexplicable feeling of betrayal...?
-
News of Pei Feng's injury quickly reached the National Theater.
There was a moment of silence.
"There's still an hour until the concert starts, and you're telling me now that she can't come?" Xiao Ling's manager, Zhang Hong, raised an eyebrow and flicked the nearly burnt-out cigarette between her fingers. "Fine, that's enough. Just wait for your lawyer's letter."
She hung up the phone and paced back and forth, her high heels making a "clack clack clack" sound on the ground.
The others kept their heads down and did their work quietly, not daring to make a sound, for fear of incurring the wrath of others.
When Feng Hanjin entered, she saw this scene, her smile faded, and she asked in confusion, "Aunt Hong, what happened?"
Zhang Hong glanced at her, made no attempt to hide anything, and frankly said, "Pei Feng isn't coming. I'm trying to contact other violinists to see if they can make it over."
Feng Hanjin's expression changed, and her brows furrowed tightly: "He is going to play 'The Butterfly Lovers' with his mother. The newly found violinist has not rehearsed with her, so there may be mistakes on the spot."
"Sigh..." Zhang Hong was in a real bind because it was an ensemble piece. They had announced that there would be a surprise guest at the solo recital. Pei Fengqin was a good player with a good reputation, and he wanted to use Xiao Ling's fame to create momentum. Meanwhile, the Feng family planned to enter the entertainment industry, so the two sides hit it off immediately.
But who could have imagined that just an hour before the concert was to start, they would call to say that they had injured their hand and couldn't play the violin. No matter how angry they were, it was useless; the most important thing now was to find a replacement.
"Are you looking for a violinist? There's one right here." Wang Minlin proudly pushed her friend forward, saying, "Yun Chu won the national youth group championship with the piece 'Butterfly Lovers' back then, she's very familiar with it. Most importantly, Yun Chu comes from a good family, is highly educated, and has a million followers on Weibo."
Ji Yun Chu feigned shyness, lowering her head slightly and tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. She then subtly tugged at Wang Min Lin's arm and glared at her, looking both embarrassed and annoyed. After doing this, she raised her head and flashed a bright smile: "Sorry, my friend is just being straightforward; she didn't mean to interrupt."
