Pampered by Short-Lived Bigshot

Chapter 1619: Chapter 943: Tang Wan and the Yan Family Colluding? The Pressure of a Big Shot (14th Update)

Inside the Exhibition Center

Everyone simultaneously fell silent, the surroundings were as quiet as a grave, as though they had suddenly plunged into dead silence, all eyes were focused on two people.

These were industry moguls, one has been abroad for years, the other residing in Nanjiang, encountering one in Beijing was rare.

Yet, they happened to converge at the same exhibition.

The two scrutinized each other, seemingly weighing each other’s strength.

The crowd felt the air momentarily stagnate, making it difficult to breathe, the atmosphere seemed to instantly fill with a scent of gunpowder, as if a single spark could ignite a wildfire.

Yu Zhen, who had been shouting aggressively earlier, was dumbfounded.

Perhaps never expecting to encounter so many moguls here.

Especially with Xi Fangli and Yang Wangchuan present, she practically had no place to speak, she glanced at Tang Wan in the distance, feeling quite pleased within.

Showing off, trying to eliminate me?

I’d like to see how long you can keep laughing.

With the main players personally stepping in, you’d be useless even if you had a hundred mouths as eloquent!

They say the higher you climb, the harder you fall, if Tang Wan is doomed, her fate will definitely be worse than hers.

...

If you single out Xi Fangli, he seems like a gentle and humble person, with no sharp edges, but when facing Yang Wangchuan, you realize.

The aura—

Is by no means inferior to his.

Aura has always had nothing to do with appearance, even the gentlest person, when pushed to the limit, can explode with a very intimidating aura.

Just when everyone thought these two were about to clash swords.

Xi Fangli was the first to speak:

"If I don’t speak, do you plan not to say anything either, just staring at me until forever?"

"Your introverted nature really hasn’t changed at all!"

"Boring, extremely dull, no wonder Aiyun back then..."

Aiyun, whom Xi Fangli mentioned, was Song Fengwan’s mother, two people missed their chance back then, she married the wrong person, later married Yang Wangchuan, who had a son in his middle age.

This is all another story, but Yang Wangchuan’s expression wasn’t pleasant when he heard this matter.

"A mute!" Xi Fangli chuckled softly, glancing at him again, "Don’t look at me like that, am I wrong?"

Yang Wangchuan didn’t look at him, instead glanced at Tang Wan beside him:

"Why did you choose him as your mentor back then? Your eye for picking mentors..."

"Not very good!"

Xi Fangli laughed upon hearing this, looking at Tang Wan, "Wanwan, following me, have you suffered? Have I ever mistreated or neglected you?"

Yang Wangchuan bluntly said: "Tell the truth."

"Yes, tell the truth, how have I been to you?"

...

Tang Wan cleared her throat lightly, not daring to make a sound.

If you want to bicker or fight, can you do it without involving me? What does it have to do with me!

The people below were even more scared to breathe.

"Can anyone explain, what’s happening now? These two... why do they give me a ’flirtatious quarrel’ feeling?"

"Go flirtatious quarrel, is this how you use that term? These two together are at least a hundred years old, obviously they’re bickering!"

"I’m a bit dizzy right now, weren’t they supposed to jump up and have a big fight?"

"The formidable Teacher Tang a while ago looks so weak and helpless in front of these two!"

"Suddenly feeling sorry for Teacher Tang."

Tang Wan had a terrible headache, caught between the two, was neither here nor there.

"Why not say anything? Has your mentor mistreated you?" Xi Fangli noticed his disciple unexpectedly not siding with him, immediately frowned, "You called me, said you wanted to hold an exhibition, I came right away to support you."

"Am I not reliable as your mentor?"

Yang Wangchuan lightly sneered: "Haven’t you always let your disciples fend for themselves? Now showing up like this, counts as reliable?"

"You..." Xi Fangli was infuriated, "You haven’t changed a bit over the years!"

Not talkative...

But with a sharp tongue.

Xi Fangli was quite provoked, "At least I have a disciple, unlike you, if not for Aiyun later being blinded by greed and marrying you, you’d still be a loner, without even a disciple."

"You have a disciple, why doesn’t she speak for you?"

Tang Wan: "!!"

Not like this, I haven’t even said a word from start to finish, why does it feel like Mr. Yan wants to kill her.

Xi Fangli looked at Tang Wan, snorting coldly:

"Tang Wan, after all the love your mentor has shown you, now you’re siding with others, isn’t it? Just because he designed this venue for you?" Xi Fangli pointed to the venue design.

"Just this thing? Just as boring as the person who made it..."

"Monotonous, tasteless! And just with this little favor, they can buy you off?"

Yang Wangchuan chuckled lightly, "It’s not that I lack taste, it’s you..."

"...who don’t know how to appreciate it!"

"You designed something, why didn’t you create an original piece? It’s similar to your family’s exhibition hall design, aren’t you just putting my apprentice in the spotlight? What are you up to? Do you even care?" Xi Fangli snorted.

"But she said she really likes it."

"..."

The two seemed to be bickering, but the information revealed was shocking.

This exhibition hall was created by Yang Wangchuan?

Did he help with the design?

"Oh my gosh, I previously said that this design was just a copy, form without substance, I must have been blind."

"If it’s from the same person, it surely has a strong personal style."

"No wonder there has been no reaction from the Yan Family’s Legal Department for so long, turns out it was like this. I knew something was misunderstood here!"

"Can you stop being a backseat driver!"

There was no plagiarism at all; this exhibition hall design came from the Yan Family, so naturally, it’s similar in style.

People murmured softly, while Tang Wan was in the midst of chaos.

What sin did she commit? She already said these big shots were hard to invite, even if they came...

They were also difficult to please!

They couldn’t stand each other on a normal day, wouldn’t they quarrel like hell when they met?

She coughed lightly, "Uh... should you sit first? A lot of people are watching."

They didn’t care about people’s gazes, but she...

Felt embarrassed!

The two of them also sat down according to her words. Xi Fangli sat in the seat left empty by Jiang Jinsang’s departure, while Yang Wangchuan naturally sat with his daughter and son-in-law.

Now the matter seemed quite clear...

"So Third Master Fu and Song Fengwan didn’t come to cause trouble?"

"They are obviously here to show support, so who said they came to make trouble? Made me expect something for nothing, no wonder Yu Zhen was so cocky just now, there was no reaction here, they must have known the story long ago."

"Tang Wan’s exhibition this time is truly grand."

"Saw a good show and saw so many big shots, it was worth getting up so early to queue."

**

Seeing this scene, the police breathed a sigh of relief, preparing to take Yu Zhen away.

But Yu Zhen was frantic and on the verge of collapse; she originally wanted to drag Tang Wan down, not let her be the only one unlucky, but how did things turn out this way?

Why?

When she passed by Tang Wan, she suddenly went mad and tried to break free, yelling at Tang Wan:

"You colluded, you planned it all in advance, didn’t you!"

Her face fierce, eyes glaring.

"It’s all fake, you must have colluded before, in complicity, everything is fake, fake!"

"If it wasn’t plagiarism, why didn’t you clarify earlier, why did you wait until now? Tang Wan, Tang Wan—"

Yu Zhen felt a fire burning in her chest, voice hoarse, hair disheveled, like a hideous demon crawling out of hell. If not for the police stopping her, she might have charged over to tear Tang Wan apart.

Tang Wan chuckled lightly:

"Even if I wanted to plagiarize, would I be so blatant, choosing the Yan Family? If I copied some niche design, it probably wouldn’t be noticed? Am I that stupid?"

"I just didn’t expect such a thing, that someone would believe it?"

"Jumping to conclusions, when it was exposed that I plagiarized, my solo exhibition hadn’t even started yet. If I felt guilty, I could have had someone erase the details of the plagiarism exposed online."

"Liar!" Yu Zhen didn’t believe her words!

But suddenly Yang Wangchuan spoke:

"I personally came to congratulate, isn’t that enough to explain the problem?"

"Do you not know her, or do you not know me? Me, colluding with someone?"

"Young lady, do you know who I am? Do you know that saying these words is a very serious accusation and slander?"

The pressure and reprimand from the big shot scared Yu Zhen pale, her legs went weak!

Many people knew Yang Wangchuan’s character, straightforward, unyielding.

Being in cahoots might apply to anyone, but for him!

Absolutely impossible!

However, as Yang Wangchuan said these words, he glanced sideways at Third Master Fu sitting nearby. But being in cahoots, deceiving others, he has in fact...

Done it once in his life!

Covering for someone’s romance, that was simply a blemish on his life.

But that was many years ago, and it’s better not to mention it now.
