Chapter 496: Kings do not see each other, Exposing the Evil of the Zuo Family! (3)

Yu Xiheng responded with a faint hum, acknowledging, “You do possess some real skills.”

The monk rubbed his head, chuckling softly.

“Boss, why are you still here? Let’s not engage with this scammer,” Si Fuqing approached, her expression stern. “He’s just after our money.”

The monk fell silent.

Although he did engage in such activities, hearing it said aloud by someone else felt utterly wrong.

“What he said was quite good, ” Yu Xiheng commented, supporting her head. “Surviving out there is no easy feat.” The monk remained silent.

Why must they hurt him this way?

“Boss, if you say he’s good, then he must be indeed good,” Si Fuqing quickly changed her tone. “How do we settle the bill?”

The monk promptly produced a QR code. “Benefactors, will it be Alipay or

WeChat?”

Si Fuqing sighed.

She knew it; he was definitely a swindler.

The next day.

Early in the morning, Si Fuqing was woken up by Sang Yanqing’s relentless calls.

Still groggy from sleep, Sang Yanqing had already arrived with a makeup artist and a stylist.

“The editor of the magazine we’re meeting today has very high standards. She spent a few years studying in Glenn,” Sang Yanqing said as she poured a cup of coffee. “Your task is to make yourself indispensable to her.” Si Fuqing, barely awake, mumbled, “My face should be enough.”

Sang Yanqing sighed.

Could she not be so vain?

Well, at least she has the face to back it up.

“Sister Sang, Miss Si doesn’t even need makeup,” the makeup artist added with a smile. “Her natural beauty surpasses any celebrity I’ve seen. Foundation would only detract from her natural allure.”

Sang Yanqing felt even more exasperated. “Then just apply some primer before

the makeup.”

Turning around, she saw the stylist with a worried look.

“What’s the matter? Any issues with the styling?”

“It’s not that,” the stylist shook their head. “Miss Si suits every style, so there’s no problem. It’s just that I need to think harder about it.” Sang Yanqing felt even more drained.

After much fuss, Si Fuqing was finally ready to leave.

The stylist had dyed her hair.

A subtlety tinted dark red with vintage waves added an even stronger aura to her presence.

“Perfect, just like this,” Sang Yanqing was thoroughly pleased. “The annual Time Gala is coming up. With your entrance, you’ll surely be the red carpet’s showstopper.”

The Time Gala was a significant event in the entertainment industry, held in early December in the City of Sijiu.

Si Fuqing thought about the weather in Sijiu at that time and raised her hand, “Sister Sang, you wouldn’t mind if I wore a down jacket and carried a thermos, would you?”

Sang Yanqing smiled, very gently, “I would mind, very much.”

She glanced at the time. “Let’s go have a meal first, Our appointment is at four.”

Si Fuqing complained, “Our appointment is at four, and you wake me up at six?”

“Better early than late,” Sang Yanqing leisurely said. “Who knew you’d be done with styling so quickly? Next time, you can sleep in a bit more.” The glimmer of hope of lying flat in Si Fuqing’s eyes faded.

Being a female star is truly exhausting.

Meanwhile, in Lin City.

Zuo Xianyu had returned to her office, pretending to be busy with planning documents.

“President Zuo,” the deputy manager knocked on the door, “here’s the document we prepared. Please take a look.”

Zuo Xianyu feigned calm, “Leave it here.”

After the deputy manager placed the document and left, Zuo Xianyu was about to start reading when she received a call from Mrs. Zuo.

“Xianyu, something terrible has happened!” Mrs. Zuo’s voice trembled. “Your father… your father has been arrested by the law enforcement team in Sijiu City!”

Zuo Xianyu’s expression darkened, “Wasn’t it supposed to be Si Fuqing who got arrested?!”

The responsibility for the incident at the deserted mountain site supposed to fall on Si Fuqing, yet somehow it was Zuo Tianfeng who ended up being apprehended.

“I… I don’t know!” Mrs. Zuo was panicking. “Xianyu, what do we do? Your father has been arrested, and our family… we’re left with nothing.”

In just a few months, the Zuo family had gone from prosperity to ruin, a turn of events no one could have anticipated.

Zuo Xianyu’s hands trembled.

Now bereft of her business acumen, she knew that being discovered would lead to her expulsion from the Zuo Corporation.

If even Zuo Tianfeng fell, she and Mrs. Zuo would be completely without support.

“Mom, don’t panic,” Zuo Xianyu slowly exhaled. “Si Fuqing is a star; we can use public opinion to crush her. I’ll go on Weibo, and you reach out to our contacts in Sijiu City. Find out what’s happening and see if we can bribe someone.”

After hanging up, she logged into Weibo, her face set in a cold expression, and targeted Si Fuqing.

[@ZuoXianyuV: @SiFuqingV, can you explain why you caused the construction site accident but shifted the blame to my father? How long have we supported you? Even if you’ve become famous, is it necessary to push someone to desperation?]

Zuo Xianyu, having lost her knack for business, hadn’t bothered to verify the facts before posting such a provocative tweet.

Any tweet involving Si Fuqing attracted high traffic.

Netizens and fans rushed to see.

[What’s happening?]

[I’ve had my fill of drama, I know better than to take sides immediately.

Waiting for Si Fuqing’s response.]

[Need Qingqing to respond to such slander? What kind of trash is trying to leech off my Qingqing’s fame?]

[Zuo Xianyu’s words are credible. She’s a prodigy in business, unknown to many, but genuinely impressive. There’s no need for her to antagonize Si Fuqing.]

[If this is true, Si Fuqing really seems ungrateful.]

[Recently, the Zuo family’s luck has been terrible, dead and disabled. Seems like karma.]

After being taught by Lin Jihuan how to use the fan forum, Nian Yi’an frequented it, sometimes even participating in defending against trolls.

Upon seeing the tweet, he immediately rushed out of his room, “Dad, Mom, something’s happened. The family that took in sister Fuqing is calling her an ingrate.”

Nian Tingchu frowned, “What?”

He hadn’t even settled the score with the Zuo family for kidnapping Si Fuqing.

And now the Zuo family dared to make accusations.

“Zhenmian, we can’t let the Zuo family slander Fuqing,” Nian Tingchu took a deep breath. “Register an account on Weibo, and let’s make our stance Imown.”

Even if Nian Hechuan had been gone for years, his daughter was not someone the Zuo family could bully.

Ye Zhenmian’s expression turned cold, “Alright, I’m on it.”

[@YeZhenmian: I am Fuqing’s aunt, who, along with her uncle, recently found her and conducted a paternity test [photo]. Now that the child is found, it’s time to settle some accounts.

We hereby initiate legal proceedings against the Zuo family for maliciously kidnapping a minor, falsely presenting her as an orphan, and claiming to be philanthropists.

Do you not have your own children, or is there a more sinister plot? @ZuoXianyuV, please explain to the public why you kidnapped our family member?!]
