Chapter 302 - The Second Young Master of the Wen Family (1/2)
Ah Sha returned to the movie set because Tang Yue had recovered from her leg injury; they had to pick up the slack by doing the scenes whose filming had to be postponed due to Tang Yue being indisposed.
That night, when they were wrapping up the day’s work, Ah Sha noticed a man entering the movie set with a freaking entourage. Tang Yue was sporting a huge grin when she hurried over to receive the man’s arrival.
“Young miss, that’s the second young master of the Wen family,” Xiao Hua said.
“Oh,” Ah Sha said. “Looks like the Wen family has released him.”
“Hmph. They’ll probably lock him up again,” Xiao Hua said menacingly. “What the hell is he even thinking? Had he rubbed his eyes with sh*t or something? Can’t believe he actually fell for Tang Yue.”
Ah Sha didn’t respond, because Tang Yue and Wen Pinyu were already heading over to her.
“Ah Sha!” Tang Yue smiled at Ah Sha. “Meet my boyfriend, Wen Pinyu!”
“Pinyu, this is Mei Jing,” Tang Yue said. “Remember that time my arm got injured? Good thing she was around to replace me as the lead actress. Otherwise the company would’ve suffered huge losses!”
Ah Sha snorted inwardly. “Typical,” she thought. “She’s starting to play with fire again the moment her backer showed up.”
The disdain in Wen Pinyu’s eyes when he looked at Ah Sha was plain as day. Even though he had been sent overseas by his family, he had been following any news about Tang Yue; he knew that this young starlet, Mei Jing, had snatched away a lot of opportunities from Tang Yue.
“I’ve already heard about Miss Mei’s actions. Thank you for looking out for Yueyue while I was gone.” Wen Pinyu paused to give Ah Sha a warning glance. “But now that I’m back, I’ll personally take care of her.”
Ah Sha batted her eyelashes and tucked her fists below her jaw in a beautiful pose that would make Xi Shi proud. “Oh, so you’re the infamous Young Master Wen! Wow, you’re so handsome. No wonder Tang Yue is so crazy about you!” Wen Pinyu felt even more disgusted as a result.
Tang Yue cursed inwardly. She knew that Mei Jing was just acting, but she had no idea how to expose her.
Wen Pinyu couldn’t even stand the sight of Ah Sha. “Let’s go!” he said, putting his arm around Tang Yue’s waist. Moments later, the pair left.
Xiao Hua shook her head. “Just look at how smitten they are with each other.” Then, Xiao Hua glanced at Ah Sha, her eyes filled with glee. “Then again, you and the young master are a match made in heaven!”
Wan Qingsi arrived at the movie set just in time to see Tang Yue leaving with Wen Pinyu.
“Wen Pinyu was released by his brother.” Wan Qingsi frowned. “That’s very strange.”
Ah Sha knew where his train of thought was heading towards. “Yeah. The Wen family had been prohibiting Wen Pinyu and Tang Yue from seeing each other. And yet now they suddenly release him and allow him to hang around in S City? Weird.”
“Before this, the Wen family had arranged for Wen Pinyu to marry the youngest daughter of the Li family.” Wan Qingsi paused when he noticed Ah Sha’s frown. He craned his head over and kissed her. “Let’s not talk about them. What do you feel like having for dinner?”
“Something mild.” Ah Sha’s usually didn’t feel like eating anything on hot, humid days.
Wan Qingsi thought for a moment. “Cantonese cuisine it is, then!”
When Ah Sha saw Wen Pinyu and Tang Yue, the first thing that came to her mind was an old Chinese idiom: enemies are bound to meet in a narrow road!
The Cantonese restaurant that they picked was designed based on the palace during the Tang dynasty with muslin curtains adorning the VIP booths. When Tang Yue saw Ah Sha and Wan Qingsi heading towards the VIP booth, she deliberately step out from her own booth to greet them. After that, she even waved happily at Wen Pinyu who was sitting inside her booth. “Pinyu, let’s have Senior Wan and Ah Sha join us!”
Wan Qingsi was not in the mood for Tang Yue’s game. Alas, before he could refuse the offer, Wen Pinyu had already stepped out from Tang Yue’s booth. “President Wan! Long time no see. Come! Join us!”
“How wonderful! Let’s join them then! The more the merrier!” Ah Sha grinned at Wan Qingsi as she clapped happily.
Wen Pinyu frowned. “What the hell does Wan Qingsi see in this woman anyway?”
The four of them sat in pairs with each pair sitting across from the other. “I must expose Mei Jing’s true side to Wan Qingsi,” Tang Yue thought. Ah Sha, on the other hand, was staring at Wen Pinyu boldly. Ah Sha had already seen Wen Pintang’s photo when she was at Ying Qingcang’s office, and she must admit that the people from the Wen family were blessed with good looks.
The only difference was that Wen Pintang seemed more elegant and classier, like he was a man of depth. Wen Pinyu seemed like a man of many talents whose actions weren’t restricted by conventions and traditions. Even so, Wen Pinyu wasn’t as appealing as his big brother.
“If you keep staring at me, Miss Mei, I might think that you are interested in me,” Wen Pinyu said in a mocking tone. As he spoke, he had even shot a pointed glance at Wan Qingsi.
Ah Sha’s eyes were still sparkling when she clapped her hands. “You’re just nice to look at, Young Master Wen. Looking at you soothes the soul!”
When she felt Wan Qingsi’s hand tightening on her waist, Ah Sha quickly added, “But I still prefer my Qingsi!” Then, she leaned into Wan Qingsi.
Wan Qingsi fed her a piece of fish. “Then you should look at me more,” he said.
“You’re so nice to women, President Wan,” Wen Pinyu said, not even bothering to hide the contempt from his tone. “Trash like her? I don’t want her even if you give her to me,” he thought.
Tang Yue frowned. Wen Pinyu had clearly placed Ah Sha into the “foolish, brainless woman” category. Clearly, that wasn’t what she intended.
“Aww, senior, you’re so nice to Ah Sha!” Tang Yue handed the bowl of soup that she’d just ladled to Wen Pinyu. “Do you still remember An Ru? She was forced to retire after she bullied Ah Sha.”
Wen Pinyu seemed a little taken aback at that revelation. He knew who An Ru was, especially after finding out that she was the daughter of the Hong Kong Triad. He’d actually expected Wan Qingsi to end up with her. The current situation was something that he never saw coming.
“My, my, President Wan! How ungrateful of you!” Wen Pinyu said in a joking tone. “You have a woman who’s so crazy about you, and you just tossed her aside? Why though? I mean, it’s women. It’s fine if you keep a few of them around, isn’t it?”
