Chapter 302 - The Second Young Master of the Wen Family (2/2)
Ah Sha immediately gave Wan Qingsi a hurt look. “Qingsi, please don’t keep other women. Please? I’ll be obedient!”
Wan Qingsi pinched her face. “I’m not keeping other women, don’t worry!” Then, he glanced at Wen Pinyu. “I’m definitely no match for Young Master Wen when it comes to enjoying life. I heard there’s an arranged marriage awaiting you at the capital. With the Li family, right?”
Tang Yue visibly blanched. Wen Pinyu quickly shook his head in denial. “Yueyue, that’s just a baseless rumor. It’s not true.” Wen Pinyu glared at Wan Qingsi. “Who told you?”
“Oh, your big brother,” Wan Qingsi said. This time, it was Wen Pinyu who went pale. Wen Pintang was the one calling the shots in the Wen family these days. In fact, Wen Pintang was the one who sent Wen Pinyu away back then. “Sh*t, now he suddenly sent me back…” Wen Pinyu thought. “Could it really be for the arranged marriage?”
Ah Sha smirked at Tang Yue. Then, she feigned an innocent look. “Ah! Sister Tang Yue! Don’t worry, you’re so beautiful. I’m sure Young Master Wen will keep you around even after he got married. He’ll never leave you. I’m sure of it!” Ah Sha glanced at Wan Qingsi. “It’s common among rich people to keep mistresses, right, Qingsi?”
“Well, not me, for sure,” Wan Qingsi said. “But Young Master Wen is a different story. The Wen family isn’t just an ordinary family after all.”
Under the table, Tang Yue nearly broke the skin of her palm with her own fingernails. She regretted ever asking these two to join them for dinner.
Wen Pinyu was preoccupied with thoughts about his arranged marriage, so he never cared about Wan Qingsi’s comment. Ah Sha’s appetite came when she saw Wen Pinyu and Tang Yue losing their appetites. Ah Sha enjoyed the rest of the meal with Wan Qingsi, after which they bid farewell with the couple with the long faces.
“Don’t piss off Wen Pinyu when I’m not there,” Wan Qingsi said when Ah Sha stepped out of the shower.
Ah Sha curled her lips. “Didn’t you notice the way Tang Yue keep hinting that I’ve been bullying her?”
“She’s trying to pit Wen Pinyu against you.” Wan Qingsi picked up the towel and began drying Ah Sha’s hair. “She assumed that I wouldn’t act out of fear for the Wen family. And you were deliberately acting childish in front of Wen Pinyu. At this point, I’m pretty sure Wen Pinyu assumes that I won’t do anything even he destroys you.”
Ah Sha chuckled. “That’s kinda true, isn’t it? Surely, you wouldn’t piss off Wen family for the sake of some starlet, right?”
“That’s why you need to stop causing trouble,” Wan Qingsi said, tapping her on the nose. “If the Wen and Li family joined forces through marriage, it wouldn’t benefit the Ying family at all.”
“Why?” Ah Sha tossed her hair and climbed under the covers.
Wan Qingsi dimmed the lights and then lay down beside her. “Because one of the daughters of Li family has a crush on Jiang Qianren,” Wan Qingsi said, wrapping his arms around Ah Sha. “But Jiang Qianren nearly killed her because of the woman spoke ill of Aunt Qing. After that, the woman was sent overseas.”
Understanding dawned on Ah Sha. “If the Li family and Wen family joined forces through marriage, they wouldn’t fear the Jiang family anymore. They’d definitely try to harm Xin Enterprises.” A devious smile formed on Ah Sha’s face. “In that case, I have to help Tang Yue!”
Ever since Wen Pinyu returned to S City, Tang Yue’s net worth had begun to rise; Wen Pinyu had openly shown his affections to her regardless of whether she was allowed to be married into the Wen family. As far as things went, Tang Yue had successfully reaped the benefits of being with a man.
A dinner party would be held today to celebrate the completion of Apocalypse’s filming. Wan Qingsi had some other business, so he couldn’t attend. Zhou Na was with Ah Sha, though only at the beginning of the party. After they had met a few people and shake a few hands, Zhou Na pretty much gave Ah Sha the freedom to do whatever she wanted.
Ah Sha noticed Tang Yue approaching her with Wen Pinyu, her knight in shining armor. “I must congratulate you, Ah Sha. Senior found a way to get you nominated for the awards before the movie even hit the screens.”
“Miss Mei Jing, you replaced Yueyue as the lead actress last time,” Wen Pinyu said, looking at Ah Sha mockingly. “Why didn’t President Wan just nominate you for the best lead actress?”
“Oh, I have no idea!” Ah Sha lowered her fruit juice. “Can these nominations be done so casually?”
Tang Yue smiled. “Weren’t you the one who insisted him to do it? Well, I guess someone in the panel owed him a huge favor then!”
Wen Pinyu frowned. “As people, we must know our own place, Miss Mei Jing. I suggest you practice some self-restraint.” Wen Pinyu glanced at Tang Yue before his eyes went back to Ah Sha. “Look at Yueyue, always so considerate about me. She never asked me for anything.”
“Haha! Oh, what a wonderful woman you are, Sister Tang Yue!” Ah Sha said, grinning at Tang Yue. Tang Yue clenched her jaw tight. Naturally, she had figured out the reason for Ah Sha’s laughter.
“Young Master Wen, it’s true that the woman beside you never asked you for anything,” Ah Sha thought. “But that’s only because she doesn’t need to. She’ll have everything the moment she married into the Wen family…”
Tang Yue deliberately changed the subject. “Hey, how come Senior Wan isn’t here with you today?”
“Well, President Wan won’t have the time for other women very soon.” Wen Pinyu stared at Ah Sha pointedly. “Do you know who Ying Xin is?”
Ah Sha smiled. “Of course! She’s the daughter of the Ying family!”
“Oh, right!” Tang Yue said as if she just thought of something. “I think Ying Xin is coming back soon.”
Wen Pinyu nodded. “The end of this year, I heard.”
“Then what about Ah Sha?” Tang Yue asked in a worried tone. “I mean, when the time comes…”
Ah Sha feigned a look of panic. “Oh no, I’m not allowed to see Qingsi again once Miss Ying returns, am I?”
“What a good actress,” Tang Yue thought, wishing she could slap Ah Sha right then and there.
Wen Pinyu bought Ah Sha’s act, thinking that she really was afraid. Wen Pinyu laughed gloatingly and said, “Of course. The Ying family will never allow Wan Qingsi to have a woman other than their daughter. It’s best if you leave him alone. If you end up pissing off the Ying family? Well, let’s just say that you’ll have to say goodbye to your career.”
“I don’t believe you!” Ah Sha clenched her teeth. “I’m going to talk to Qingsi about this. He won’t abandon me! He won’t! Boohoo…”
After Ah Sha had run out, Wen Pinyu wrapped an arm around Tang Yue’s waist. “There,” he said. “I got revenge for you. That foolish woman won’t be jumping around for long.”
“Poor girl,” Tang Yue said, pulling her lips into a tight line. “I have to find a way to expose Ah Sha’s true colors!”
