Chapter 269- Relying on Men
"It caused a lot of trouble?" Shi Feiye didn't know what Ren Qinse was referring to.
"They pushed the Yang family into that state, and then replaced the person in charge of Weibo. It's hard for Mr. Fan, who is already old. He finally had a grandson like Fan Rui who was quite capable, but he was instantly reduced to rubbish by Young Master Qin."
Ren Qinse said, she found it funny:
"I heard that Yang Xi from the Yang family has been getting a cold reception from Fan Rui in recent days. She had been acting like a goddess and trying to keep Fan Rui hooked, but now that she sees the situation isn't right, she wants to give in, but Fan Rui, who has seen through her true colors, has rejected her. It's a truly entertaining scene, enough to make you laugh to death."
"So what happened next?" Shi Feiye asked curiously.
"What could have happened later? Yang Xi isn't that stupid. After all, she's the goddess in the hearts of many men, and she's quite capable. It's a pity that she ran into Old Man Yang, a father who doesn't care about his daughter and forced her to submit to Fan Rui. Do you think Old Man Fan wouldn't take this opportunity to teach Fan Rui how to identify a scheming woman? So, Yang Xi is destined not to marry into the Fan family."
"I don't understand business matters, but the Yang family is really unprincipled in letting a woman take the fall when something goes wrong." Shi Feiye hated this behavior. It wasn't Yang Xi who had tried to discredit her in the first place, but now they wanted Yang Xi to find a solution for the Yang family. Her impression of the Yang family had further decreased.
Shi Feiye didn't know that Yang Tang was standing not far away, occasionally glancing at Qin Buzhu, thinking about how to get his attention. If he knew, he would probably be even more disgusted with the Yang family.
The more Yang Tang looked at Qin Buzhu, the more she could feel the excellence of this man. That noble temperament, that aura of a superior, coupled with that handsome face, was exactly the kind of man she wanted most.
Qin Buzhu was surrounded by a number of people who seemed to have gathered around him unintentionally, but were actually looking for an opportunity to strike up a conversation with him. However, most of them were men, or businesswomen who looked like strong women at first glance. There were no delicate and lovely girls to be seen.
Yang Tang also saw what happened just now. She saw Shi Feiye's appearance and thought she couldn't compare to her. However, when she compared herself to Han Wenya, she felt that she was still much more gentle and beautiful than Han Wenya.
Thinking of Han Wenya, Yang Tang curled her lips. She wasn't exactly a pretty girl, yet she had to pretend to be so pitiful. No wonder Qin Buzhu was completely unmoved. If it were her, she would definitely be much prettier than Han Wenya.
Not intending to confront Shi Feiye directly, Yang Xi toyed with her hair, reaffirming that she couldn't compete with Shi Feiye in terms of looks. Then, with soft and delicate steps, she approached Qin Bulu, moving closer after Qin Bulu rejected a man's business.
As soon as she opened her mouth, her voice was extremely tender, filled with surprise and disbelief:
"Qin Buzhu, ah no, Young Master Qin?"
Qin Buzhu turned around and saw Yang Tang's expression was calm. He had never seen this woman before and had no impression of her in his mind. She must not be an important person.
Seeing Qin Bulu was silent, Yang Tang put on a sweet and adoring expression, almost like she was holding her hands to her heart with stars in her eyes:
"You probably don't know me. I'm your little fangirl. I read your business guide back in college, and recently I've been playing holographic online games. I didn't expect to see you here today. I'm so excited."
Yang Tang had it all planned out, and now she acted out her excitement at meeting her idol while trying hard to control herself, perfectly convincing herself.
Qin Buzhu frowned, but still said nothing. There were many women who approached him, but not many who approached him in this way. Yang Tang continued excitedly:
"Can you give me an autograph? I really like you very much."
"Tsk, haha..." Zou Lianxun suddenly laughed, "Second brother, you are so charming that you can be approached by any means. It's amazing that I can even come up with this method of idol worship, but -"
Zou Lianxun changed the subject of his conversation and turned to Yang Tang:
"Miss Yang's favorite thing is to make money from men. When did you become obsessed with business? Is it because you can't make money from men anymore? That can't be right. After all, Miss Yang has a good face and good means. There should be many nouveau riche or wealthy people who like you."
Yang Tang froze, unable to react to how Zou Lianxun knew her.
It was quite a coincidence. Among the people Zou Lianxun knew, there were also some who were not so close to him, but who were on the surface passable. From time to time, those people would pretend to be close to him and talk to him about trivial topics that could show their intimacy.
It just so happened that a few days ago, a friend felt that he had been deceived by Yang Tang. He was too embarrassed to argue with a woman, and he saw through Yang Tang's tactics, so he grumbled a few words to Zou Lianxun. On a whim, he even sent Zou Lianxun a photo and complained bitterly, saying that Yang Tang was indeed beautiful and quite good at pretending, so it was no wonder that he fell for her trick.
Normally, a man and a woman should be willing to do something, and even if they spend money, they can't be blamed on the other person. However, Zou Lianxun's friend wasn't well off, and he still really wanted to marry Yang Tang, so he was upset and said a few more words.
It was just a coincidence that Zou Lianxun happened to run into him today.
Not worried that Yang Tang would find it awkward, Zou Lianxun introduced Yang Tang to Qin Buzhu and Qian Bowen with a smile:
"This is Old Man Yang's illegitimate daughter, and also Yang Wei's adopted sister. Old Man Yang has never acknowledged her identity. I guess Yang Wei and Yang Xi don't even know this sister exists."
After Zou Lianxun said this, the others knew what was going on. Qian Bowen did not hold back:
"Miss Yang, your outfit today doesn't look cheap. You must have spent a lot of money coaxing men out of you, right? You're usually so calculating, but now you're so generous. Are you planning to make a big fish out of my second brother? Tsk tsk, didn't anyone tell you that my second brother is already married, and doesn't like your style?"
Zou Lianxun continued:
"Even if she doesn't like it, there's nothing I can do about it. Miss Yang can only pretend to be pitiful. But Old Man Yang is really willing to give up. He raised this chess piece with great difficulty, but he is willing to give it away like this. It shows that the blow he suffered this time is really not small."
"Isn't that normal for Old Man Yang? It's not the first time he's sold his daughter. Yang Xi is even trying to get closer to Fan Rui. Have you forgotten?" Qian Bowen added.
"Oh, I would have forgotten if you hadn't told me. Oh, that's not right?" Zou Lianxun's face darkened.
"Who is Old Man Yang looking down on? He sent his legitimate daughter to please Fan Rui, but sent his illegitimate daughter to his second brother. Who is he slapping in the face? It seems he still has no brains and doesn't know what to do and what not to do."
"Yes, it just needs to be dealt with." Qian Bowen confirmed Zou Lianxun's words.
The two men didn't give Yang Tang a chance to speak, nor did they let Qin Bulu open his mouth. They quickly reconstructed the whole thing and convicted Old Man Yang.
Qin Buzhu glanced at the two people, and they smiled at him innocently. Their performance this time was finally satisfactory, right?
Yang Tang's heart was in a knot. How come in just a few words, not only her illegitimate identity was exposed, but it also brought disaster to her father?
It would be fine if she couldn't seduce Qin Bulu today, but she couldn't let these people drag the matter onto Old Man Yang. Yang Tang knew that if Old Man Yang collapsed, she would be truly finished:
"Master Zou, Master Qian, what are you talking about? I just admire Master Qin's abilities and methods, so I wanted to come over and ask for his autograph. Don't tell me I know Master Qin is married. Even if he's not married, I wouldn't dream of someone like him. You're really flattering me."
Yang Tang looked very aggrieved:
"I came here today because I finally got the invitation. I even contacted a friend to rent a dress for this banquet. I just wanted to broaden my horizons. I'm not from a noble family, so I'm satisfied just to come in and take a look. How could I dare to think too much about it?"
"Oh, really? If that's the case, then Miss Yang has come to her senses and realized that she has to be honest and self-reliant. That's a good thing."
Qian Bowen said it seriously:
"After all, we know your father and brother. We have to help you spread the word today so that everyone knows how inspiring Miss Yang is."
Yang Tang's aggrieved expression froze again. If this gets out, how will she be able to spend men's money in the future? Will she become a fool who goes AA with men?
Once a person's image is established, it will be no joke if it is destroyed. Without reputation, how can she marry into a wealthy family?
"I didn't expect that Old Man Yang, despite his poor character, had a sensible illegitimate daughter. Not bad, not bad. Admitting one's mistakes is the key to improvement. Don't worry, Miss Yang, we will definitely help you spread the word."
Zou Lianxun thought Qian Bowen's idea was really interesting. It could expose Yang Tang's past experience of coaxing men into giving them money, and at the same time, it would make the man suffer in silence in the future. It couldn't be better, so he also joined in the fun:
"Don't worry, Miss Yang. Everyone will know you're a good woman. But forget about my second brother's autograph. He's not interested in women other than my second sister-in-law. Even if you get an autograph, it's useless. You'd better read a few more books. Business is all about talent and ability. Learning more is the right thing to do."
Feeling Qin Bulu's impatience towards her, Yang Tang felt that she could not stay any longer. She responded randomly a few times, made an excuse to go to the bathroom, and left quickly.
As she left Qin Buzhu, she felt aggrieved in her heart. What her father said about them being a good match was all fake. He also said that Qin Buzhu had no feelings for his wife. This was all a lie.
She had put on her best posture and appearance. Just now, when Zou Lianxun and Qian Bowen embarrassed her, Qin Buzhu didn't react at all. How could a man like him who didn't know how to be gentle with women be a good marriage partner?
