Chapter 939: Chapter 0939: Even if the Heavenly King’s father comes, he must kneel
Arrogant!
Looking at Sheng Wentao standing arrogantly in front of them, two words simultaneously surfaced in everyone’s mind—"arrogant!"
The engagement between Fu Xinyue and Xiao Boyang was currently the hottest topic in the entire capital. Because of this engagement, the Fu family had inevitably become the subject of widespread discussion.
Families or individuals who once looked down on the Fu family or were even at odds with them had now extended friendly hands, one after another.
As Fu Xinyue’s full sibling, Fu Zibo naturally saw his social standing rise in the capital.
But now, Sheng Wentao didn’t just disregard Fu Zibo and Fu Xinyue. His gaze brimmed with contempt.
To him, Fu Xinyue was no more than someone easily dismissed. Even though she was engaged to Xiao Boyang, trampling on Fu Xinyue was effortless for him, let alone bothering with her brother Fu Zibo.
Still, considering they’d inevitably cross paths in the future, did Sheng Wentao really need to act so excessively?
Wouldn’t it be simpler for Fu Zibo to lower his head and apologize?
Was Sheng Wentao not concerned about offending Xiao Boyang, who was currently the rising star?
Could this arrogance really embody the audacity of a top-tier elite, or was Sheng Wentao purposely trying to crush Xiao Boyang’s momentum through Fu Zibo?
Everyone couldn’t help but speculate.
Standing off to the side, Ye Xunhuan showed no intention of intervening. He gazed at Sheng Wentao, his expression thoughtful, though his actual thoughts remained a mystery.
Since Sheng Wentao’s arrival, Ye Xunhuan hadn’t uttered a word, simply standing back to watch Sheng Wentao perform, as though the entire scene had become Sheng Wentao’s personal stage!
Facing the domineering Sheng Wentao, Fu Zibo’s expression grew as dark as a storm cloud.
"Sheng Wentao, leave some leeway in your actions. We’ll meet again someday. Don’t go too far!" Fu Zibo growled coldly.
Today had been utterly humiliating for Fu Zibo. His intention had been to trouble Tang Yurou and, if possible, humiliate her thoroughly.
But who could’ve expected the lobby manager to try playing both sides, refusing to offend anyone, and for Sheng Wentao to show up, completely derailing Fu Zibo’s plans and forcing the situation out of his control?
Nevertheless, Fu Zibo knew he couldn’t kneel. If he did, by tomorrow—or even tonight—he’d be the laughingstock among the frivolous elites of the entire city.
The actress entangled with Fu Zibo was thoroughly at a loss in the moment.
She wasn’t stupid; she could clearly see that the odds were stacked overwhelmingly against Fu Zibo.
Moreover, as an actress, she had once had the chance to see Sheng Wentao in person twice before forming ties with Fu Zibo. She knew Sheng Wentao was the young master of the Sheng family.
This realization made her feel as though she had plunged into an icy abyss. She had never imagined that following Fu Zibo today would lead to her hitting such a wall, nor had she considered the connection between Tang Yurou and Sheng Wentao, much less accounted for the immense influence possessed by the seemingly overlooked Ye Xunhuan.
With just one phone call, Ye Xunhuan had effortlessly brought Sheng Wentao running—not only that, but Sheng Wentao had immediately launched an unrelenting tirade against Fu Zibo, without even asking for an explanation!
"Too far?" Sheng Wentao sneered. "Today, I’ll be as excessive as I want. What can you do about it?"
"You..."
"Fortunately, it’s my Yu Rou here today. If it were someone else, they’d have been ruined by you already. Or imagine if someone of lower status than I had come instead—you wouldn’t just let things go so easily, would you?" Sheng Wentao scoffed disdainfully. "We’re all foxes here, so stop spinning tales like you’re from some ’Strange Tales’ storybook!"
Fu Zibo’s face shifted unpredictably between shades of fury and unease.
"Sheng Wentao, are you truly determined to escalate this further?"
"Kneel!" Sheng Wentao calmly lit a cigarette and took a deliberate drag. "You have no choice. Even if your sister were here, she’d kneel too!"
As Sheng Wentao’s words fell, the actress standing alongside Fu Zibo gritted her teeth. It was as if she’d made a significant decision. Before Fu Zibo could react, she suddenly dropped to her knees with a loud thud. Addressing Sheng Wentao and Tang Yurou, she said, "Young Master Sheng, Ms. Tang, everything happened because of me. I beg your forgiveness and hope you won’t stoop to my level as a nobody..."
At this moment, the actress took all the blame and responsibility upon herself, pushing Fu Zibo entirely out of the spotlight.
The surprising act left everyone dumbfounded!
No one expected this woman to make such a drastic move in the end.
This was a battle among the elite heirs—ordinary people who dared step in were just cannon fodder.
Yet this woman willingly shouldered all responsibility. Was she not afraid of courting disaster?
Even Fu Zibo hadn’t anticipated her kneeling or taking on all the blame herself: "Youyou..."
She raised her head briefly and removed her sunglasses, revealing an impeccably delicate face.
Before this moment, due to the sunglasses she wore, nobody had recognized her. But the instant the sunglasses came off, her identity was unmistakable.
"Isn’t that the film actress Youyou..."
"It is! Who’d have thought she’d end up involved with Fu Zibo..."
Instantly, a wave of whispered speculation broke out. Evidently, Youyou still retained some level of fame.
"Zibo, this all started because of me. You only clashed with Ms. Tang because of my presence. If it weren’t for me, there’s no way you’d have gotten into a dispute with her..."
On the sidelines, Ye Xunhuan’s lips curled into a mysterious, slightly wicked smile as he listened to Youyou’s words.
Fu Zibo clenched his fists tightly. He knew Youyou was doing this for him, trying to preserve his dignity by taking everything upon herself.
Who the hell said that actresses were heartless and insincere? Today, he’d encountered one who was loyal and righteous, defending him wholeheartedly!
Without hesitation, Youyou once again turned to Sheng Wentao and Tang Yurou. "Young Master Sheng, Ms. Tang, all but me are blameless. It was my blindness that offended Ms. Tang. Punish me if you must; this has nothing to do with Zibo..."
At this moment, Youyou no longer resembled the dazzling star admired by many. She was akin to a groveling lapdog, wagging her tail submissively.
This is the reality of celebrities. In the eyes of ordinary people, they are exalted figures, but in front of true elites and magnates, they amount to nothing.
Even now, celebrities may serve as influential symbols, but to someone of Sheng Wentao’s caliber, they’re worthless. With just a word, he could destroy them.
Sheng Wentao swept a cold glance at Youyou. "You think taking all the blame for this cretin will make everything fine?"
"Young Master Sheng, I..."
"There are things mere mortals cannot shoulder. Crossing the line leads to death!"
As he spoke, a harsh glint flashed across Sheng Wentao’s face.
Youyou trembled uncontrollably upon hearing his chilling words, her whole body as if struck by lightning.
"Fu Zibo, don’t assume a woman taking the fall for you will resolve anything. Let me make this clear: no matter what, even if the ’King of Heaven’ himself appeared, you’re kneeling today!"
