Magnate Tycoon: How Did Simply Enjoying Life Make Me a Male God?-Chapter 420 - 337 Zhou Yingying’s Shadow_2
It’s not that he’s afraid of Yingying, he just knows very well that Yingying usually mingles closely with the rich second-generation circle in Hai City, especially having a deep friendship with Shi Yang, so he doesn’t want to easily have a falling out with Yingying.
But at this moment, all eyes around were on Brother Long, he was caught in a dilemma, so he had no choice but to face Yingying head-on, staring at her intently, his voice low:
"Yingying, I know you have good relations with the Shi Family, but don’t think I’m scared of you. You’re not the only one with backing."
Yingying sensed the unease in his words and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, responding calmly:
"This is originally a small matter, I don’t want things to get too stiff. I’ll say it again, I just want to take Little Fox and leave, find someone else for the shoot, and it’s over."
Brother Long hesitated slightly upon hearing this.
Seeing that her script might not get filmed, Nuannuan was anxious, quickly leaning towards Brother Long, whispering softly:
"Brother Long, why are you afraid of her? Have you forgotten, she previously offended Young Master Liu, she probably can’t mingle in the rich second-generation circle anymore.
She’s just putting on a show here, don’t be fooled by her. Didn’t you hear someone said they were going to deal with her before?"
Although Nuannuan’s voice wasn’t loud, Brother Long and Yingying standing nearby heard it clearly.
Yingying’s face immediately darkened, her eyes fixated on Nuannuan, filled with anger.
She and Nuannuan were both somewhat famous influencers locally, both portraying themselves as socialites.
They originally didn’t interfere with each other. But Nuannuan, for the sake of profit, resorted to unscrupulous means, having previously used the Little Fox multiple times to gain traffic for herself.
Because of this, Yingying and her had numerous confrontations, deepening their conflict.
More importantly, Yingying knew in her heart that Nuannuan wasn’t speaking without basis.
Last time, standing with Shi Yang and Li Jing, she opposed Liu Jun, which clearly offended the entire circle of Liu Jun’s rich second-generation.
Although they eventually apologized to Li Jing, those people feared Li Jing, not her, Yingying.
Furthermore, after that incident, Shi Yang’s reputation was significantly affected.
Previously, Shi Yang was respected because many knew Liu Jun had a crush on her, pursuing her.
So others somewhat feared Shi Yang out of respect for Liu Jun.
But that time Liu Jun directly had a fallout with Shi Yang, obviously, other rich second-generation won’t give Shi Yang face like before.
Despite the Shi Family’s significant power in Hai City, personal character and behavior style also matter in the rich second-generation circle. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦
The Liu Family’s power is similar to the Shi Family’s, and Liu Jun’s domineering character naturally instills fear and respect in others.
In contrast, Shi Yang is gentle and usually doesn’t suppress others easily.
Gradually, people feared Liu Jun but didn’t care much for Shi Yang.
No matter the circle, the phenomenon of bullying the weak and fearing the strong exists.
Moreover, Shi Yang herself isn’t much involved in the rich second-generation disputes, her status among them is far less than Liu Jun’s.
This time, Yingying offended Liu Jun’s circle by standing with Shi Yang, and her "backer" Shi Yang also faced considerable impact, putting Yingying in an increasingly difficult position in this circle.
Especially since Yingying previously rejected several rich second-generation’s offers, refusing to be their lover, hence not being on good terms with a few rich second-generations.
Now if someone deliberately stirs trouble, many would surely take advantage of the situation.
Brother Long keenly noticed the change in Yingying’s expression, seeing her somewhat guilty, instantly growing more confident, with fewer scruples.
In the influencer circle of Hai City, especially among those crafting a socialite or wealthy persona, they more or less have connections with the real rich second-generation circle locally.
Take Nuannuan for instance, she was once a lover of a rich second-generation but broke up later.
Brother Long used to be a subordinate of a rich second-generation and even worked as a thug, but later turned over a new leaf, making money through live streaming.
Usually, he partakes in filming scripts with Nuannuan and others, gaining a bit of fame.
Seeing Yingying losing her previous strong-willed attitude, threatening words from Brother Long became more pronounced, staring at Yingying, he said:
"Yingying, I’m warning you one last time, move aside quickly. You know well enough, Shi Yang can’t protect you anymore. Don’t force me to really take action!"
Considering the Shi Family’s influence, Brother Long still gave Yingying a final chance, not wanting to completely have a falling out.
Yingying’s face was full of difficulties, inner conflict, unconsciously glancing at Little Fox behind her.
Thinking of Little Fox being bullied just now, recalling the scenes of herself being bullied by others, she steeled her heart, firmly faced Brother Long and Nuannuan again:
"I’ve said it before, this was originally a casual matter. Little Fox is my friend, you can completely find someone else for the shoot. Today, I must take her away!"
Seeing Yingying still insisting on stopping them, Brother Long’s face turned very unpleasant.
As he was weighing the pros and cons, suddenly, he heard a noisy discussion behind him and couldn’t help but turn around.
He saw a young man wearing a flamboyant shirt, his hair slicked back and shiny, walking over.
His outfit was extremely ostentatious, with an arrogant demeanor on his face, clearly not someone easy to provoke.
Seeing the newcomer, Brother Long’s expression first tightened, then a flattering smile quickly appeared on his face, warmly and respectfully approaching:
"Young Master Chen, weren’t you playing in the private room on the second floor, how come you came down suddenly?"
This person was precisely Brother Long’s backing, a local rich second-generation, Chen Family’s Young Master Chen Ziteng.
Yingying previously didn’t know, this event held on this ship not only invited them as influencers, but also several local rich second-generations were in attendance as well.
It’s just that those rich second-generations had been in private rooms on the upper levels, never coming down.
But this time, seeing the commotion below, Chen Ziteng seemed curious, so he came down to take a look.
"I wonder which woman was yelling just now, so I came down to see what happened."
With a frivolous expression on his face, Chen Ziteng walked leisurely among the crowd, his gaze landing on Yingying at the front, his face gradually showing a mocking smile:
"Oh, so it’s our Miss Zhou. I was wondering why the voice sounded so familiar."
Seeing Chen Ziteng, Yingying’s heart tightened suddenly, and unbearable past painful memories surged up.
This Chen Ziteng was the rich second-generation who drugged her last year, nearly assaulted her, and was also the source of her many years of nightmares, a psychological shadow she couldn’t erase.
Faced with Chen Ziteng’s condescending stature, Yingying inevitably felt a wave of tension and fear.
And Chen Ziteng keenly caught the subtle guilt and fear in Yingying’s eyes, his mouth curled into a cold smile, looking down at her as he said:
"Earlier you managed to escape with Shi Yang’s help. But this time on this ship, where can you run to?"
Upon hearing this, Yingying’s face turned ashen immediately, gritting her teeth she said, "Young Master Chen, Shi Yang knows I’m here, and everyone is watching..."
Seeing Yingying’s nervous demeanor, Chen Ziteng mocked her disdainfully:
"I was just joking, is there a need to be this scared? Do you really think I fancy you?
Although you’re fairly attractive, but who knows how many men you’ve been with."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yingying was stunned, hurriedly explaining: "I haven’t, Young Master Chen, you can’t say that without proof."
Chen Ziteng sneered contemptuously: "You’re still pretending to be pure? With those suggestive videos you posted online, deliberately flaunting yourself, already so indecent publicly, who knows how wild you are in private."
Seeing Chen Ziteng purposely come down to shame Yingying, Brother Long and Nuannuan secretly rejoiced, hastily chiming in:
"Young Master Chen is right, you dress so provocatively online, deliberately drawing attention from netizens, yet have the audacity to act pure? It’s like being a whore and wanting to set up a memorial arch."
"Such things, anyone with eyes can see, there’s no need for proof."
Facing their slander and ridicule, Yingying’s complexion grew more unsightly, struggling to voice her refutation, her fists subconsciously clenching slightly, her body trembling slightly.
