Xu Youming was stunned: "Sheng... Sheng..."
Before he could shout out, the little star in his hand was suddenly hit by a strong force. Xu Youming was caught off guard and rushed forward uncontrollably, finally falling headfirst to the ground.
The commotion here was a bit too loud, and with Sheng Shijing, the focus of the whole audience, appearing here, most of the people in the banquet hall looked over and happened to see this scene.
When Xu Youming came to his senses and looked up, he saw faces that were either surprised, enjoying the show, or trying to hold back laughter. His face, which was already a mixture of blue and red, instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
He gritted his teeth and climbed up from the ground. He looked at Sheng Shijing with a sullen expression and said in a suppressed temper, "Sheng... Mr. Movie Emperor, what do you mean by this?"
Sheng Shijing was still holding Xie Xihe's shoulder strap in his hand, his eyes fell on the star at the end, and a look of disgust flashed in his eyes.
Hearing this, he said without even raising his eyes: "Shouldn't I be the one asking Mr. Xu this?"
Xu Youming choked and defended himself, "I just wanted to discuss cooperation with Miss Xie, and I accidentally caught that star. I..."
Didn't mean it!
Xu Youming wanted to say something, but before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Xie Xihe: "It seems that Mr. Xu likes this shoulder strap of mine very much."
She glanced at Sheng Shijing, pulled the shoulder strap out of his hand, and pulled it hard.
The shoulder strap that had been hanging down to her waist suddenly snapped. Xie Xihe swung the half that remained on her shoulder behind her and tossed the end with the star in front of Xu Youming. She said calmly, "In that case, I'll give it to President Xu."
A gesture of almsgiving and a nonchalant tone.
It is an undisguised humiliation.
Xu Youming's expression changed again: "Xie Xihe!"
"Didn't I tell you to call me little aunt?" Sheng Shijing put his hands back into his trouser pockets and raised his eyes coldly. "Have you ever heard of a saying that a gift from an elder cannot be refused?"
He lowered his eyes to look at the star ribbon on the ground, and said in a voice without a trace of emotion: "Pick it up."
Xu Youming's pupils trembled and he looked at Sheng Shijing in disbelief.
Xu Youming was born to a woman whom Xu Hairui, the eldest uncle of the Xu family, kept outside. He was neither the eldest son nor the wife's son, so his status in the Xu family was not high, let alone in the Sheng family.
Even though he has taken over an entertainment company under the name of the Xu family and can still have a say in the entertainment circle, in the upper class circle of Kyoto, not many people actually take him seriously.
As a relative of the Sheng family, Xu Youming naturally knew Sheng Shijing's identity. He also knew that as the illegitimate son of the Xu family, he was not worth mentioning in front of Sheng Shijing.
But no matter how low his status is, one thing cannot be denied - his surname is Xu.
The Xu family is the maiden family of the second wife of the Sheng family. In his opinion, no matter how much Sheng Shijing despises him, he should still give him some face for the sake of the Xu family.
But reality gave him a hard slap in the face.
Sheng Shijing doesn't care about the Xu family at all!
Seeing that he hadn't moved for a long time, Sheng Shijing's eyes flashed with impatience, and his face became even colder: "Do you need me to say it again?"
Xu Youming's face turned blue and red, and then red and blue. Finally, he squatted down under countless laughing gazes, gritted his teeth and picked up the star-shaped lace on the ground.
Sheng Shijing: "Thank you."
The tip of his tongue tasted the sweet and fishy smell, and Xu Youming squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "Thank you very much, my aunt."
Xie Xihe glanced at him and didn't even bother to say "you're welcome".
Sheng Shijing also withdrew his gaze, casually took off his coat and draped it over Xie Xihe's shoulders to cover the damaged dress. He said calmly, "My stylist team is at the hotel. I'll take Miss Xie there to change clothes."
Xie Xihe glanced at the coat on his shoulder, his eyebrows twitching: "...Thank you, Mr. Sheng."
The two of them left one after the other.
It was not until the two figures completely disappeared from sight that the astonished crowd finally came to their senses.
Someone couldn't help but say, "Emperor Sheng actually has a day when he helps others. What is his relationship with Xie Xihe?"
The people around her rolled their eyes at her and said, "What kind of relationship could they be? They can't be boyfriend and girlfriend, right?"
"It's probably because the two of them entered the venue together before. Xie Xihe can barely be considered as Mr. Sheng's female companion. If someone covets his female companion, that would be a slap in Mr. Sheng's face. Of course he has to stand up."
"That's true. Although they are quite suitable based on their looks, there is a huge gap between them, and their ages are quite different, so it shouldn't be that serious."
"It's unlikely they're boyfriend and girlfriend, but I think it's very likely that Actor Sheng has known Xie Xihe for a long time. Otherwise, with his personality of being a killer of female celebrities, how could he possibly enter the venue with Xie Xihe?"
"Yes, I think so too. Isn't Xie Xihe's family a family of aristocratic doctors? Xie Xihe's father is one of the most famous doctors in Kyoto. Emperor Sheng has a deep background too. I guess they knew each other a long time ago."
"Isn't that the second Zhou Weijun? Could it be that Mr. Xie also treated the family of Mr. Sheng and then got rid of Mr. Sheng to take care of his daughter?"
"Hahahahaha, don't mention it, this is really possible. This Mr. Xie really cares about his daughter. I wish I had a father like him."
"I'm most curious about Mr. Sheng's background. You might not know this, but Mr. Xu is from the Xu family. The Xu family is one of the most powerful families in Kyoto. Even Mr. Xu's status is suppressed by Mr. Sheng. How deep must Mr. Sheng's background be..."
"This is beyond the control of people like us. Okay, let's go now that the show is over. Be careful not to offend anyone."
“…”
The sound of various discussions reached his ears, and Xu Youming felt hot and smelly all over. If he could, he wanted to leave here immediately.
But he can't.
He has lost all face. If he leaves now, he will be running away in disgrace!
He can't afford to lose face, and the Xu family can't afford to lose face even more!
Xu Youming kept taking deep breaths to adjust his mood. After a long time, his complexion recovered. When he was about to say a few words to Mr. Wang, Producer Xu and others around him to ease the awkwardness, a man in a suit and tie walked up to him.
Xu Youming knew him. His surname was Yang and he was the secretary to the president of Xiguang Group.
Xu Youming's eyes lit up, and he immediately said respectfully, "Secretary Yang, you..."
How did you get here?
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted again.
Secretary Yang smiled slightly and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Xu. Our Mr. Lu said that Miss Xie is the champion of the Guyun Tiancheng program and the star of this celebration banquet. But now that you've driven our star away, there's no need for you to stay here."
Secretary Yang extended his hand and said with an unwavering smile, "You are not welcome at this banquet. Please leave immediately."
The smile on Xu Youming's face froze before it could even bloom, revealing a different kind of ridiculousness.
His face looked extremely ugly.
