Chapter 304 - Stop Blowing so Hard on Your Own Trumpet, or Itll Blow up in Your Face (1/2)

Wen Pinyu was incensed. He had gone to the panel before the ceremony began and threatened them to remove Mei Jing from the winners’ list. He hadn’t expected Wan Qingsi himself to be the presenter of the best supporting actress award. Needless to say, Wan Qingsi had completely ignored the actual name printed on the envelope and had given the award straight to Mei Jing.

What vexed Wen Pinyu even more was the fact that Wan Qingsi had changed Tang Yue’s name to another actress’. The nerve of the guy! This was a slap right to his face. He had to make Wan Qingsi pay no matter what! Wan Qingsi had to pay for his foolish actions done for the sake of a woman!

“Wan Qingsi, how dare you! How dare you change the names! Stars Entertainment’s reputation would be ruined if this ever gets out!” Wen Pinyu glared at him angrily. “Fine, let’s forget about that. But how dare you threaten the panel to give Yueyue’s award to someone else? Like it or not, she’s still your junior! How could you do that to her?”

Those who were present at the party were all in this line of business. Before this, they only knew vaguely that something had happened, but they didn’t know the details. Now, after listening to Wen Pinyu’s diatribe, they all began to cast looks of shock at Wan Qingsi. “Is he really planning to go head to head with the Wen family?”

“Senior… Is it true?” Tang Yue stared at Wan Qingsi tearily. “Did you really threaten the panel to remove my name? Did you just take away my chance to become the queen of acting because of Mei Jing’s dislike of me?”

Wan Qingsi laughed derisively. “Queen of acting? Don’t make me laugh. Do you even have what it takes?”

“You…” Tang Yue instantly went pale. She knew deep down how she even stood a chance to win the award. If Wen Pinyu hadn’t bribed the panel, she’d never be able to win. Even so, she wanted to destroy Mei Jing right here and now!

Wen Pinyu put his arm around Tang Yue’s shoulders and shot Mei Jing a menacing glare. “I’ve really underestimated you,” he said. “I can’t believe you’re capable of something this low. You’re jealous of her, so you resort to such underhanded means to get back at her. Wan Qingsi, are you blind? Do you actually want to be with a woman like that?”

Tang Yue kept her head low. Nobody noticed the tiny smirk on her lips.

A look of surprised formed on Ah Sha’s face. “Jealous of her?” Ah Sha yelled. “Why would I be jealous of her? She isn’t as pretty as me, and isn’t as good in acting as I am!” Ah Sha paused to give Wan Qingsi a glance. “But most importantly, I have better taste in men than she does! Right?”

“That’s right!” Wan Qingsi said, smiling back at her. Ah Sha’s face still had that dopey, innocent look when she glanced at Tang Yue. “Sister Tang Yue, I told you to be with a new man. See? He tried so hard to get you a nomination, but you never won.”

“And now, look at my Qingsi,” Ah Sha said. “Because of a certain shameless someone, my name had been taken off the winner’s list. But he snatched it back for me. This is what a good man is supposed to do!”

Ah Sha’s words stunned the crowd. It was only then that they glimpsed the true face of this so called “beautiful arm candy.” She’d been acting like a weak piglet all this while, hiding the fact that she was capable of swallowing a tiger!

Wen Pinyu lost it right then. “You despicable b*tch!”

Wan Qingsi stepped forward and yanked Wen Pinyu up by the collar. “Say that again, I dare you,” Wan Qingsi growled. “Senior, please! Please, don’t do this. Let him go!” Tang Yue pleaded between sobs.

“Wan Qingsi!” Wen Pinyu struggled to no avail. His face reddened in anger. “My big brother would kill you if you touch me.”

Wan Qingsi sneered and pushed him away. “Why don’t you ask you big brother yourself then? See if he’d actually kill me.”

Wen Pinyu froze. A moment later, he saw a familiar figure entering the room.

“Big… Big brother!” Wen Pinyu yelled. Then, he pointed a finger at Wan Qingsi. “Brother, you came just in time. Deal with him for me, please.”

The moment Wen Pintang stepped in, everyone in the room stood up straighter and squared their shoulders. Wen Pintang treaded slowly across the room. Not even Ah Sha could resist shooting a few furtive glances at him. She whispered to Wan Qingsi, “His presence is so imposing. Almost like daddy’s.”

“That’s because they’ve both grown old,” said Wan Qingsi with a straight face.

They both never noticed the smirk on Wen Pintang’s lips as he walked.

“Big Brother!” Tang Yue said piteously. “I’m sorry. This is all my fault. Pinyu did it for me. If I never got bullied, he wouldn’t even have-”

Wen Pintang cut her off by holding out his palm. “You don’t seem to have a good memory, Miss Tang,” Wen Pintang said. “Remember what I told you last time? I only have one brother. So who is it that you’re calling ‘Big Brother’?”

“Big Brother!” Wen Pinyu frowned. “Wan Qingsi threatened the panel to remove Tang Yue’s name. This is an obvious insult to the Wen family!”

Tang Yue nodded and gave Wen Pintang a crestfallen look. “I don’t care what happens to me. I’m just sorry that Pinyu had to go through all this!”

Wen Pintang’s eyes swept from Wan Qingsi to Ah Sha. Then, Wen Pintang’s eyes returned to Wen Pinyu. “I was the one who removed her name,” Wen Pintang said, crushing the feelings of smugness that Wen Pinyu was feeling.

“What?” Wen Pinyu was stunned. A dark look formed on Tang Yue’s face, evil and malice flashed inside her pupils.

“Didn’t you hear what I said? I said I was the one who asked the panel to change remove her name.”

Before the crowd could even react to the stunning revelation, Ah Sha began clapping her hands loudly. “Oh, my! Mr. Wen is such a good brother!”

“Oh?” Wen Pintang looked at Ah Sha curiously. “What makes you think that?”

Ah Sha pointed at Tang Yue. “Because you know that Sister Tang Yue has terrible acting skills. Even if she won the award, she’ll probably drown in spit when the public criticize her for using men to advance her career.”

“When the time comes,” Ah Sha went on, “it will affect the Wen family’s reputation!” Ah Sha raised her head to look at Wan Qingsi. “Am I right?”

Wan Qingsi suppressed the urge to smile and nodded. “So smart. You’re absolutely right!”

At that point, self-image was the last thing on Tang Yue’s mind. She cast a murderous look at Mei Jing. Meanwhile, Wen Pinyu was trembling in anger. He raised his hand and pointed his finger at Ah Sha.

“If you say another word about her again, I’ll beat you to death right in front of your brother,” Wan Qingsi threw out a cold warning.

Wen Pintang glanced at Ah Sha. For a moment there, Ah Sha thought that Wen Pintang was smiling at her, but she might have imagined it.

“Enough,” Wen Pintang said. “Things have been cleared up now. You can come back with me now.”

“Go back with you?” Wen Pinyu panicked. “No, I’m not coming with you.” At this point, Wen Pinyu didn’t even care about settling his score with Wan Qingsi, not when he was scared witless at the prospect of being sent away from the country again.

Wen Pintang arched his brow slightly. “I let you return so that you can make a clean break with Miss Tang and ask her not to bother you anymore. The Li family is still waiting for your return so that we can finally make your engagement official. What am I supposed to say to them if you don’t come back with me?”
