Wen Pinyu was furious. He had asked the panel of judges to cancel Mei Jing's award, but he never expected Wan Qingsi to present the award himself. Wan Qingsi even ignored the list of nominees and gave the award to Mei Jing.
What made him even more embarrassed was that Wan Qingsi had switched Tang Yue's award to someone else. That was a slap to his face. He swore to make Wan Qingsi pay for his stupidity because of a woman!
"Wan Qingsi, how dare you switch the award without permission! If word gets out, Stars Entertainment will be kicked out of the entertainment industry!" Wen Pinyu glared at Wan Qingsi angrily. "That's not all. How dare you threaten the judges to switch Tang Yue's award to someone else? She's your junior! How could you treat her like this?"
Everyone in the room was from the entertainment industry. They only knew that something had gone wrong, but they didn't know the specifics. Now that they heard Wen Pinyu's words, they looked at Wan Qingsi in shock. Was he really going to go against the Wen family?
"Senior … is this true?" Tang Yue's eyes were filled with tears. "Did you really threaten the judges to strip me of my title? Just because Mei Jing doesn't like me? "
Wan Qingsi sneered. "Best actress? Do you think you're worthy? "
"You …" Tang Yue's face was pale. She knew how the award came to her. If Wen Pinyu hadn't bribed the judges, she wouldn't have won it. Even so, Mei Jing had ruined it.
Wen Pinyu held Tang Yue in his arms and glared at Mei Jing. "I've underestimated you, woman. You're so shameless. You're jealous of Tang Yue, so you used such a despicable method to set her up. Wan Qingsi, are you blind? You want a woman like her? "
Tang Yue lowered her head, so no one saw the slight smile on her face.
Asha, on the other hand, looked shocked. "Jealous of her? Why would I be jealous of her? She's not as pretty as I am, and her acting skills aren't as good as mine! "She glanced at Wan Qingsi." More importantly, she doesn't have a good eye for men like me! Am I right? "
"Yes!" Wan Qingsi smiled. Ah Sha stared at Tang Yue innocently. "Sister Tang Yue, I told you a long time ago that you should find another man. Look, he spent so much effort to get you a nomination, but you didn't win. "
"Look at my Qingsi. My award was swapped by some shameless person, but he still helped me get it back. He's a true man!"
Everyone was stunned by Ah Sha's words. Only then did they realize that the 'vase beauty' that everyone had been talking about was actually a wolf in sheep's clothing.
Wen Pinyu was furious. "You bitch!" he yelled.
"Say that again?" Wan Qingsi stepped forward and grabbed Tang Yue's collar. "Senior, don't do this. Let go of me!" Tang Yue cried.
"Wan Qingsi!" There was no way Wen Pinyu could break free. His face was red with anger. "If you dare lay a finger on me, my brother won't let you off the hook!"
Wan Qingsi sneered and pushed him away. "Then why don't you ask your brother if he'll let me go?"
Wen Pinyu was stunned. Then, he saw a familiar figure walking in through the door.
"Big … Big Brother!" Wen Pinyu called out, then pointed at Wan Qingsi. "Big Brother, you came just in time. Help me deal with him."
Everyone straightened their shoulders and watched Wen Pintang walk in slowly. Even Asha couldn't help but steal a few glances at him. "His aura is so strong," she whispered. "He's almost as strong as Daddy," she said.
"That's because they're old," Wan Qingsi said, his face expressionless.
None of them noticed that the corner of Wen Pintang's mouth was slightly upturned.
"Big Brother!" Tang Yue said pitifully. "I'm sorry. It's all my fault. Pinyu did it for me. If I hadn't been bullied, he wouldn't have … "
Wen Pintang reached out and interrupted Tang Yue. "Miss Tang, you seem to have a bad memory. I remember telling you that I only have one brother. Who are you calling 'Big Brother'?"
"Big Brother!" Wen Pinyu frowned. "Wan Qingsi threatened the judges to swap out Tang Yue's award. He's clearly not giving the Wen family any face."
Tang Yue nodded and gave Wen Pintang a sad look. "I don't care. I'm just sad that Pinyu was humiliated!"
Wen Pintang glanced at Wan Qingsi and Asha. Just as Wen Pinyu was feeling smug, Wen Pintang's gaze returned to Wen Pintang. "I was the one who swapped her award."
"What?" Wen Pinyu was shocked. Tang Yue's face darkened. A ferocious look flashed across her eyes.
"Didn't you hear me?" Wen Pintang repeated himself. "I said I was the one who swapped her award."
Before anyone could react, Ah Sha was the first to clap her hands. "Oh my! Mr. Wen, you're such a good brother. "
"Oh!" Wen Pintang looked at her. "Why do you say that?"
Asha pointed at Tang Yue. "You see? Because you know how terrible Tang Yue's acting is. Even if she wins the award, she'll be drowned in people's spit. They'll say that she relied on men to get to where she is today."
"When that happens, Second Young Master Wen will be implicated. It'll indirectly affect the Wen family's reputation!" Tang Yue tilted her head and looked at Wan Qingsi. "Am I right?"
Wan Qingsi held back his laughter and nodded. "You're so smart. You're absolutely right!"
Tang Yue no longer cared about her image. She glared at Mei Jing. Wen Pinyu trembled with anger. He pointed at Asha and was about to say something.
"If you dare insult her again, I'll beat you to death even if your brother is here." Wan Qingsi warned him coldly.
Wen Pintang glanced at Asha. For some reason, Wen Pintang felt as if he was smiling at her. "Alright.
"Alright, now that everything is clear, you can come back with me."
"Go back?" Wen Pinyu panicked. "I'm not going back." He didn't have time to deal with Wan Qingsi anymore. He was afraid that he would be sent abroad again.
Wen Pintang raised his eyebrows. "I asked you to come back because I want to talk things out with Miss Tang. I want her to stop bothering you. The Li family is still waiting for you to get engaged. If you don't go back, how am I supposed to explain things to them? "
"Engaged? Engaged?" Wen Pinyu was dumbfounded. Tang Yue bit her lip and looked at him with teary eyes. "Pinyu, you … you should go."
Wen Pinyu's heart ached at the sight of Tang Yue's pitiful face. He put his arm around Tang Yue and comforted her. "I said I'd marry you. Don't worry. I won't get engaged to the Li family."
"Brother, you can't sacrifice my happiness for a marriage alliance." Wen Pinyu dragged Tang Yue away. "I won't go back with you."
Wen Pintang watched the two of them leave. He didn't stop them. Instead, he glanced at the crowd. The onlookers immediately dispersed. What a joke. They had just witnessed a drama between rich families. There would be gossip tomorrow.
Wan Qingsi hurriedly left with Asha in his arms. He had other plans for the night. He couldn't afford to waste any more time. When they reached their car, they saw another car parked there. Wen Pintang's face peeked out from the car window.
"Congratulations, Miss Mei Jing. You did a great job!"
Asha blinked. She didn't know what kind of trick he was playing.
Wan Qingsi's expression turned cold. He pushed Asha into the car, then turned to Wen Pintang. "If I were you, I'd take Wen Pinyu back right now. You'll have a lot of work to do once that woman has a bargaining chip to enter the Wen family."
"Haha!" Wen Pintang chuckled. Asha, who was sitting in the car, was stunned by Wan Qingsi's glare. She quickly ducked her head back into the car.
Wen Pintang spoke slowly. "People at their age need to experience some setbacks. That brother of mine has been living too comfortably. This time … I'll let him do whatever he wants."
He rolled up the car window and nodded at Wan Qingsi. "Don't forget what you promised me when you're free."
When Wan Qingsi started the car, Asha leaned over and asked, "When did you hook up with Wen Pintang?"
"What do you mean hook up?" Wan Qingsi smacked her on the head. Asha pouted. "What did you promise him?"
Wan Qingsi looked at her silently. Asha knew that he didn't want to talk about it. She leaned against the car window and ignored him.
"Ugh!" Wan Qingsi looked at the angry girl. He thought for a moment, then said, "He wants to treat your whole family to a meal."
Asha's eyes widened in surprise. "Why?" She didn't think Wen Pintang would be so friendly as to want to be friends with the Ying family.
"She knows that you're Ying Xin," Wan Qingsi said. Ah Sha was startled. "Then … then …"
Wan Qingsi patted her. "Don't worry. He doesn't know who Lady Poison is."
That was what Wen Pintang had told him when he came to see him yesterday.
"I'll help you with my brother's problem. But you have to convince Ying Qingcang and his wife to have another meal with me." He looked at Wan Qingsi, an invisible force of power radiating from him.
Although Wan Qingsi didn't look as intimidating as Wen Pintang because of his young age, Wan Qingsi didn't give him any face. "I believe you've already investigated my real identity. Do you think I'm afraid of the Wen family?"
"The young master of the Wan family!" Wen Pintang's tone remained flat. "That Mei Jing beside you is the daughter of the Ying family, isn't she? Haha … You youngsters want to play a game of identity swapping. If I were to expose you now, it would be pointless, wouldn't it?"
Wan Qingsi narrowed his eyes. "Are you threatening me?"
"No, I'm negotiating with you." Wen Pintang curled the corner of his mouth, looking like a rich young master.
Asha heard that and asked worriedly, "What does he want?"
"At first, I thought he was coming for you." Wan Qingsi coughed twice, and Asha rolled her eyes.
In your eyes, every man is a rival in love …
Wan Qingsi obviously knew that she was slandering him. He kissed her and said, "Then I realized that he was looking at you like an elder. I think he wants to cooperate with the Ying clan."
"Why?" Asha asked curiously. "Isn't he close to the Mo family?"
Wan Qingsi smiled. "How can the Mo family compare to the Jiang family?"
The Jiang family and the Wen family had always been estranged. For so many years, they didn't interfere with each other's business in the military. If Wen Pintang cooperated with the Ying clan, it meant that he was extending an olive branch to the Jiang family. In the past few years, everyone knew that the Jiang family and the Ying family had a strange relationship. Although there were many speculations, no one knew the reason.
"He wants to have a foot in both boats, so he doesn't offend either side." Asha suddenly felt that the man who looked elegant and gentle was very insidious.
Wan Qingsi frowned. "Maybe. I'll keep an eye on him."
For some reason, he felt that Wen Pinru didn't mean it that way …
When they returned to the Ying family, Asha found that the villa, which was usually brightly lit, was dark.
"Are they not back yet?" Ying Qingcang took his wife and children to the award ceremony, but they had left long after it was over.
Wan Qingsi parked the car and pulled her to open the door. "I don't think so."
Then Asha heard a "pa" sound coming from the dark living room. Her body's instinctive reaction was to defend herself, but the lights were turned on. Chengcheng was standing in front of her, wearing a birthday hat and holding a bouquet of flowers.
