CHAPTER 434: CHAPTER 247 DINNER_3

However, given the current scene, she didn’t have much time to think. She grabbed a bottle of wine and was about to smash it on the ground, ready to help Shu Wan buy some time.

But what she didn’t anticipate was that Shu Wan took the initiative first and greeted Zeng Wei with "Here."

Even without Shu Wan calling out to him, Zeng Wei had already noticed her.

Not to mention that Shu Wan was so conspicuously sitting in the seat that belonged to him, just her very aura was unique in the entire hall.

As Zeng Wei’s gaze fell upon Shu Wan’s pale skin, his eyes narrowed, and the interest he hadn’t much felt suddenly rose.

He walked over to the table, smiling with obscure intent, "I’ve heard that the entertainment circle has a new great beauty, and now that I see you, you certainly live up to your reputation."

"I’ve also heard that the Second Young Master of Zeng Family runs rampant in the entertainment circle, and now that I see you, you live up to your reputation as well."

Had anyone else said this, Zeng Wei would have blown his top already.

But beauties have privileges, especially unparalleled beauties.

Far from getting angry, Zeng Wei even smiled and took a seat next to Shu Wan.

"Second Young Master, the seat Shu Wan is sitting in is actually yours."

Seeing that things weren’t going according to plan, Li Ya quickly stood out.

"It’s all the same where one sits," Zeng Wei waved off, "Find seats for yourselves too, why are you all standing?"

With Zeng Wei saying so, even if Li Ya wanted to stir things up, she could only suppress it for now. She looked at Shu Wan resentfully, "Hmph, fox spirit."

Everyone returned to their seats, and Zeng Wei took the bottle of wine and poured a glass for Shu Wan, "Come, Lady Shu, have a drink."

"I don’t drink." Shu Wan declined Zeng Wei flatly.

This was already the third time Shu Wan had offended Zeng Wei. Even with her beauty, Zeng Wei was beginning to get displeased. He placed the glass of wine in front of Shu Wan, "Drink. After drinking, there will be a good show to watch."

Shu Wan glanced at Zeng Wei, then in front of his face, she poured the wine back into the bottle.

At this, the smile couldn’t stay on Zeng Wei’s face any longer. His expression darkened, and with a subtle hand gesture, he signaled for the live broadcast camera to move away.

Then he turned to Shu Wan, "I hear you were a top scorer in the college entrance exam, so you must be smart. You surely know that what happens tonight could determine whether you can stay in the entertainment circle, right?"

"Whether I can stay in the entertainment circle is not for you to decide."

"Alright." Zeng Wei suddenly clapped his hands and laughed loudly, but his gaze was dangerously sinister, "Quite the stubborn one, aren’t you?"

Zeng Wei had encountered others who had refused him like Shu Wan.

It’s normal for people to have pride, but once you break their spirit, they know exactly where to bow.

Zeng Wei made a gesture to someone nearby. Soon the music in the hall stopped, and a supporter walked over to begin reading a charity speech.

Seeing Shu Wan remaining cool and detached, yet stunningly beautiful, Zeng Wei made an exception and asked once more, "Are you sure you want to keep being so stubborn?"

Before Shu Wan could reply, Zeng Wei added, "You don’t think that Wang Xiao is the only one coming tonight, do you?"

Shu Wan turned her head, "What do you mean?"

Finally, Shu Wan reacted. A flicker of triumph crossed Zeng Wei’s face, "If I want, I can concoct countless charges against you."

If Shu Wan had no vulnerable points, then no matter how much Zeng Wei fabricated, people would only be half-convinced.

But Shu Wan already had the deeply ingrained incident with Wang Xiao. Now adding charges such as tax evasion, being a diva, intentional injury, and even drug abuse, people had no choice but to believe.

Rumors don’t need to be very true to begin with. A word, a picture, with enough force behind them, can destroy a person.

"How about it?" Zeng Wei knew Shu Wan understood his implication. He leaned in close to her and whispered menacingly, "You aren’t aware, are you? There’s contraband in your bag, and in your manager’s house, and even the tea you drank when you entered had a banned substance."

"Oh." Shu Wan nodded as if completely unfazed by what Zeng Wei said, "So what?"

"You really won’t cry until you see the coffin, will you?" Zeng Wei let out an exasperated laugh, "I’ll tell you, nearly all the media from within the circle is here tonight, and there are 20 official live broadcast rooms going simultaneously. When you start to regret it later, it’ll be too late."

Hearing this, Shu Wan simply curved her lips faintly, "That’s a pretty big audience."

Such a large audience, indeed, if someone were to screw up, it would be a horrible end.

Just not sure who that someone will be.
