Chapter 945: Chapter 0945: The Sha of Today, The Knot of the Future
Ye Xunhuan, Tang Yurou, and Sheng Wentao left Jingshiyuan. As for the necklace, Fu Xinyue ended up buying it to give to Ye Xunhuan and Tang Yurou as an apology!
Ye Xunhuan’s credo was simple: if you don’t take advantage of an easy win, you’re a fool. So he accepted the necklace without any hesitation.
As Ye Xunhuan and the others left, the farce ca to a complete end.
Although the chaos had subsided, the na “Ye Xunhuan” was about to create a stir in the capital.
After all: Sheng Wentao’s fierce protection, trampling on Xiao Boyang, forcing Fu Zibo to kneel, mocking Fu Xinyue…
Any one of these events was enough to stun the entire circle of privileged elites in the capital.
Ye Xunhuan had left, and those who had been humiliated and oppressed, including Xiao Boyang, followed suit—they wouldn’t stay behind either.
However, as soon as they stepped out of Jingshiyuan, Fu Zibo clenched his fists tightly, his eyes bloodshot, glaring at Fu Xinyue and Xiao Boyang: “Sis, brother-in-law, why, why?”
“Sheng Wentao and that little bastard were so cruel to you…”
Before Fu Zibo could finish his sentence, Fu Xinyue’s dainty, jade-like hand suddenly swung out and slapped him across the face without warning!
“Smack!”
The crisp, clear sound echoed abruptly in the surroundings.
The celebrity standing beside Fu Zibo trembled upon witnessing Fu Xinyue’s unexpected slap but didn’t dare utter a word.
Fu Zibo, already contorted in rage, looked even more ghastly after being slapped so suddenly. “Sis, you…”
“If you want to die, don’t drag the whole Fu family down with you!” Fu Xinyue’s exquisitely beautiful face was ice-cold, her eyes filled with chilling detachnt, as if Fu Zibo wasn’t even her brother: “Did you forget the lesson Qin Rung gave you back then? And now you go provoke Tang Yurou again?”
“Do you think Tang Yurou is soone you can afford to provoke?” Fu Xinyue said furiously. “And Ye Xunhuan—do you have a death wish to provoke him too?”
Xiao Boyang let out a soft sigh beside her: “Alright, Xinyue, Zibo didn’t know any better!”
As he spoke, Xiao Boyang gently patted Fu Zibo’s shoulder: “Zibo, don’t bla your sister for hitting you. It’s just that the people you offended today… are truly dangerous!”
“If it were just Tang Yurou, I, your brother-in-law, might risk getting beaten up by Qin Rung to protect you. But with Ye Xunhuan in the mix, I’m completely powerless!” Xiao Boyang sighed helplessly. “He’s soone you simply can’t afford to cross!”
“If you clash with him, today’s punishnt of kneeling would be the least of your worries!”
Hearing Xiao Boyang’s calm yet resigned words and seeing the frustration written all over his face, Fu Zibo’s anger gradually subsided.
“Brother-in-law, are you saying even you can’t stand up to him?”
“Do you think a man capable of making Sheng Wentao act like a lapdog is just so random nobody?”
“Brother-in-law, are you saying he’s even more powerful than Sheng Wentao…”
“Zibo, do you know who he really is?”
Fu Zibo shook his head, his face full of confusion.
“If you ss with Tang Yurou, as long as you don’t go too far, the worst-case scenario is that Qin Rung beats you up. Even in a serious case, you’d just spend so ti in the hospital. But if you touch Ye Xunhuan… Qin Rung would likely co at you with a knife!”
Fu Zibo’s expression shifted slightly: “Wait, is he Qin Rung’s man?”
Fu Xinyue’s face instantly darkened: “You… You’re as dumb as a pig! If he were Qin Rung’s man, would he dare get involved with Tang Yurou?”
“Enough, Xinyue!” Xiao Boyang, though also frustrated by Fu Zibo’s remark, remained relatively composed due to his stronger emotional resilience. “He’s Qin Rung’s nephew, the only son of Qin Fenghuang. Now do you understand?”
“Ah!” Fu Zibo’s eyes widened in shock, staring at Xiao Boyang with disbelief. “He… He’s the bastard Qin Fenghuang gave birth to… nobody knows who his father is…”
Although Ye Xunhuan no longer lived in the capital, and Qin Fenghuang had worked hard to protect him back then, the story of Ye Xunhuan’s birth was no secret.
Nearly every privileged rich kid in the capital knew Qin Fenghuang had a son. The only mystery was who the child’s father was.
“Are you trying to get yourself killed?” Fu Xinyue exclaid in panic, glaring at Fu Zibo.
Fu Zibo realized his slip-up and imdiately covered his mouth!
anwhile, Youyou stood off to the side, utterly puzzled. She couldn’t understand what Fu Zibo and the others were talking about, nor did she have any room to participate in the conversation!
“Now do you understand why your sister and I made you kneel and apologize to him?”
Fu Zibo nodded, finally grasping how close he had co to bringing disaster upon himself. He lowered his head and said, “Sis, brother-in-law, I’m sorry, I…”
“It’s okay. It’s all in the past now, as long as you don’t think about seeking revenge,” Xiao Boyang said gently, trying to console him. “Ye Xunhuan is soone you should never provoke again!”
“Sis, brother-in-law, I know what I must do. I’ll go personally to apologize later,” Fu Zibo replied, his tone filled with remorse.
Seeing Fu Zibo’s contrite attitude, Xiao Boyang’s face softened with satisfaction: “I’ll accompany you when the ti cos.”
“Brother-in-law…” Fu Zibo’s face lit up with gratitude.
“You’re my wife’s little brother. While I may not be able to get you out of trouble, I can at least help with an apology!”
“Thank you, brother-in-law!”
“Alright, go get your face checked at the hospital. Go on!” Xiao Boyang patted Fu Zibo’s shoulder.
Without saying much more, Fu Zibo left with Youyou.
After Fu Zibo and Youyou left, Fu Xinyue turned to Xiao Boyang with an apologetic expression. “Boyang, I’m so sorry for dragging you into all this…”
“Don’t ntion it. After all, you’re my fiancée. Your problems are my problems!” Xiao Boyang said lovingly, his voice full of warmth.
Moved by Xiao Boyang’s words, Fu Xinyue’s face was filled with gratitude. “Thank you, Boyang!”
“Why are you thanking ?” Xiao Boyang said with a calm smile. “Who could have imagined that Sheng Wentao is now in league with Ye Xunhuan?”
A sharp glint appeared in Xiao Boyang’s eyes as he spoke.
“Sheng Wentao is clearly using Ye Xunhuan to deal with us!” Fu Xinyue spat bitterly. “If it were just him versus you, it’d be an even match. But with Ye Xunhuan on his side, we can’t act against him!”
“You’re absolutely right!” Xiao Boyang exhaled heavily. “I originally thought Sheng Wentao wouldn’t turn against us over that matter. Now it seems I need to be extra cautious around him!”
“But Boyang, Ye Xunhuan isn’t an idiot. He must realize Sheng Wentao is trying to use him,” Fu Xinyue cut in.
Upon hearing this, a cunning smile spread across Xiao Boyang’s face: “No one in this world is a fool, especially not the son of Qin Fenghuang!”
“Just wait. I’ll make sure today’s humiliation is repaid tenfold—for you and for Zibo!”
