The turmoil lasted for five or six days. Not only Beijing, but the whole internet was buzzing with heated discussions. After all, family feuds and wealth division are topics that never lose appeal.
It wasn’t until the filming of "Feng Que" wrapped up that the fever of the incident finally died down.
The actors in this drama, even if they weren’t top-tier or A-list stars, were all trending celebrities. Everyone posted on social dia celebrating the wrap-up, with fans from various circles enthusiastically leaving congratulatory comnts.
On the official social dia page of the crew, fans from every actor’s camp scrambled to be the first to comnt, amassing likes and comnts. In just half an hour, the likes hit a million.
As the biggest investor, the Qi Group set up a banquet at a top hotel in Beijing to celebrate the wrap-up. The banquet was scheduled for 7 PM, and reporters were already waiting early in the morning.
It was said that many prominent figures and wealthy tycoons from the Beijing circle would attend, all personally invited by Qi Zeyan to boost the event.
At this ti, Ruan ngxi was at the Guantang Villa, handing an invitation letter to Tang Wan.
She was already involved in the production of this drama, so it was normal for her to be invited.
"Just leave it there, I’ll go." Tang Wan said while focusing on the Cyan Feather.
Ruan ngxi hesitated for a mont and said, "My aunt will be there tonight as well..."
"Is that so?" Tang Wan smiled, showing no change in expression.
Regarding the incident at the hospital that day, Ruan ngxi wasn’t present and couldn’t comnt. Since both were on good terms with her, she couldn’t take sides. Thus, she maintained a neutral stance throughout.
"Wanwan..." Ruan ngxi cleared her throat, "Actually, a lot has been happening on my aunt’s side lately."
Tang Wan didn’t respond.
"I don’t know if you know about You Shenming. A girl had accused him before. My aunt was initially considered a witness, but now there’s news that the two had a conflict at a club, making her testimony useless."
"There’s a good chance the You family might turn against her."
"She’s been facing continuous issues with her political review."
...
Ruan ngxi initially wanted to offer so advice, but seeing Tang Wan’s indifferent deanor, she decided not to continue. Just then, a work call ca in, so she quickly departed.
"I’ll see you off," Tang Wan finally said.
"With your condition, I wouldn’t feel good about letting you see off. You should rest."
"Fifth Brother, you send her off then."
Jiang Jinsang nodded and escorted Ruan ngxi downstairs.
She knew the core of the whole issue was still between Tang Wan and Shen Shuci. She hoped Jiang Jinsang could diate, so the two wouldn’t escalate things to a breaking point.
"...You’re also close to Master Huo. Even if those two aren’t speaking, you can still interact. You’re both so dear to them. Although they’re both stubborn, they’re not unreasonable. You should persuade them more."
"I understand." Jiang Jinsang watched Ruan ngxi leave with a worried face. After returning, he ntioned it to Tang Wan.
"She’s quite worried about you and my aunt. Don’t you plan on telling her anything?"
"I’ll explain to her later." Tang Wan picked up the invitation letter, opened it, and stared at it for a long ti.
"Is there sothing wrong with the invitation?"
Jiang Jinsang noticed her frowning and couldn’t help but ask.
"Who designed this invitation? It’s a bit tacky."
Jiang Jinsang burst into laughter, "Probably...his taste."
At this mont, Qi Zeyan was in a eting and suddenly sneezed. He thought it was because of the low air conditioning temperature, causing a slight cold.
...
anwhile, news that both Tang Wan and Shen Shuci would attend the wrap-up banquet had already spread within their circle.
"I an, isn’t Young Master Qi deliberately stirring things up? I heard the two haven’t t since the incident at the police station. Even at the hospital, they intentionally went at different tis."
"Young Master Qi arranging for the two to be together, isn’t that asking for trouble?"
"I heard Young Master Qi just wants to play peacemaker. The wrap-up banquet is a happy occasion, and he wants to ease so of the tension between everyone."
"I heard he even invited You Shenming?"
"It’s because of the little issue between him and Shen Shuci. Young Master Qi definitely hopes to use this occasion to bring everyone together and clarify things once and for all. Quite a thoughtful move."
"Caught between Fifth Master and Master Huo, Young Master Qi is trying to survive in a tight spot, not easy!"
...
Indeed, You Shenming received the invitation to the wrap-up banquet.
Qi Zeyan made it very clear that he hoped You Shenming would attend, et everyone, and solve the issues with Shen Shuci privately, with him diating.
Respect had to be shown to the Qi family, but more importantly, the wrap-up banquet of "Feng Que" would feature top-tier female stars in the circle. Usually, he interacted mostly with young models and small-ti internet celebrities. Top-tier stars wouldn’t be interested in backing him.
The You family didn’t want him to attend, given the high-profile attendees. With his personality, he could easily cause trouble.
Yet, soone firmly promised he wouldn’t cause any trouble.
Over the past few days, nothing happened. Even the police seed exhausted with the Shen Elder’s case, completely forgetting about him, allowing him to finally relax.
He even considered trying his luck with so starlets at the wrap-up banquet.
He had promised Xiang Xiaoyuan that he’d introduce her to high society, and this wrap-up banquet was a perfect opportunity for that.
Jiang Jinsang imdiately received any slightest hint from You Shenming’s side.
He was thinking about how to bring everyone together without raising alarms. Inviting You Shenming was easy, but there seed to be no suitable reason for Xiang Xiaoyuan.
Unexpectedly, You Shenming solved this problem himself.
"Sir, You Shenming even sent Xiang Xiaoyuan a formal dress, and she specifically took leave from the hospital. She’s currently getting her hair done; it seems she’s taking this event seriously," Jiang Cuo reported thoroughly.
"Taking it seriously is good," Jiang Jinsang lightly rubbed his fingers, "I was afraid he wouldn’t take it seriously."
"Do you think You Shenming is a fool? Hasn’t he noticed anything?"
"If he were smart, he wouldn’t be used by others."
"How did you accurately identify them?" Jiang Cuo was puzzled when he was instructed to follow and investigate the two.
In such a large world, how did he precisely pinpoint these two?
"Initially, it was just a guess, but now there’s evidence to support it."
Jiang Jinsang wasn’t so kind of deity who could predict everything. Their social circle might seem complex, but it’s actually quite simple, always revolving around the sa people. Lately, the two people with the highest frequency in their circle were them.
One was as dumb as a pig and loved causing trouble, while the other harbored ambitions and constantly wanted to stir things up...
It was just speculation at first, especially since the news about Tang Wan plotting against Elder Shen spread so quickly. Even though there were already rumors at the hospital, no one would imdiately jump to that conclusion.
Unless soone was too desperate to find a scapegoat.
Though the police didn’t find any clues, Jiang Jinsang had to fish slowly to catch the big fish.
He didn’t expect the fish to bite so quickly.
...
Outside, people were saying that Qi Zeyan wanted to gather everyone and use the happy event of the wrap-up to get everyone to give him a little respect and talk things through.
Everyone thought he was too considerate, very thoughtful, and that he wasn’t having an easy ti.
They said Qi Zeyan genuinely valued his brothers and friends.
The internet was full of praise.
Todays eting was chaired by the elder Mr. Qi, and Qi Zeyan sat beside him, feeling relaxed, secretly playing with his phone, feeling good seeing everyone praise him.
He didn’t expect, however, to trend on social dia because of this.
Yet, the trending topic was:
[Young Master Qi is Silly]
Qi Zeyan was instantly dumbfounded. What the heck is this?
He clicked open the comnts:
"With things so ssed up now, everyone is avoiding it as much as possible. Only Young Master Qi is getting involved and trying to play peacemaker. Such an airy fool."
"Exactly, wealthy and foolish, everyone else is avoiding it as much as they can, but only he’s that silly."
"Our Young Master Qi is too kind, a foolish Qi."
"Why get involved in this, silly fool."
...
Among the comnts, there were also so mischievous fans calling Jiang Chengsi to drag their silly Qi away.
Qi Zeyan was both amused and annoyed, never expecting the trending topic to be this.
He specifically hired soone and spent a bit to tone down the trend of the topic.
But so enthusiastic netizens, thinking soone was framing him, imdiately rallied, urging everyone to protect their foolish Qi...
The trend quickly shot back up! Qi Zeyan was so angry he almost threw his phone.
