Chapter 1604 - 929: The Beijing Circle’s Elite When Kings Collide (Part 2)


Chapter 1604: Chapter 929: The Beijing Circle’s Elite, When Kings Collide (Part 2)

They said she and Tang Wan were both wicked women, using manipulative means to seduce Qi Zeyan.

Everyone was worried about her, yet she still had the time to look through netizens’ comments.

**

The Kingfisher incident stirred quite a commotion, even affecting the Tang Family far away in Pingjiang.

Old Tang had been raising Hua Mei birds; even that could be twisted by the malicious to be seen as showing off. The Tang Family was a major household in Pingjiang, after all, so reporters might talk big but dared not disturb them. The old man walked the bird and practiced Tai Chi as usual.

Just here in Beijing, Tang Wan couldn’t go out freely like before, and it was even more inconvenient to take her son out, fearing being surrounded or secretly photographed by reporters.

Even though the studio had issued a statement clarifying that the incidents were unrelated to them and promised to actively cooperate with police investigations, many people still boycotted the exhibition.

"Making money tainted with blood, how can you shamelessly hold an exhibition?"

"Again exposed for plagiarizing design concepts, that’s taboo in the circle of originality, yet still persisting with events, truly shameless."

"The Yan Family’s legal department is going to take action, what about Fu San Ye and Song Fengwan, aren’t they stepping out to resolve this?"

This Mr. Yan got married in his forties, and his partner brought a daughter who was now his stepdaughter, married to the third master of Beijing’s Fu Family, a famous formidable character in Beijing.

"A little birdie told me Fu San Ye might go see the exhibition."

"Aiming at the father-in-law; though the Yan Family isn’t in Beijing, the son-in-law is."

"Wow, Fu Family and Jiang Family? This will be a show to watch; you guys tell me, is Fu San Ye more formidable or the Fifth Master more cunning?"

"I don’t care, I just want to watch the show; how can I go see the exhibition?"

"I heard no invitation is needed, but there is a limit on the number of people."

...

The news that Fu San Ye would attend the exhibition went viral across Beijing.

Come to think of it, the Jiang Family and Fu Family have always minded their own business, coexisting in Beijing yet belonging to different circles, seldom interacting, while their circle’s Qi Zeyan and the young master of the Duan Family are rivals.

Everyone says Tang Wan’s plagiarism hit Yan Family, stepping on a landmine.

"Does everyone remember the plagiarism incident years back? It involved a teacher from Beijing Academy of Fine Arts winning awards through plagiarism, only to be torn apart while on stage by San Ye’s little wife."

"It’s said Tang Wan copied Yan She, and though Song Fengwan wasn’t his biological daughter, they are close; I bet this time it will be quite a show."

"This Cyan Feather woman ought to be dealt with long ago, serves her right!"

"If plagiarism is confirmed, if Jiang Family protects her, it will be a disgrace."

This was already a huge matter, and due to the exhibition center’s design plagiarism concept, it implicated Nanjiang’s Yan Family, thereby dragging Fu Family into it.

Even Duan Lin Bai, well-known for loving to watch drama, jumped out and directly posted on Weibo to ask:

[Who knows how to attend Tang Wan’s solo exhibition? Point the way.]

This individual is always on the frontline of gossip, and this time was no exception.

His significant influence online turned this issue instantly into a hot topic.

Duan Lin Bai jumped out, leaving his rival—Qi Zeyan—unable to sit still!

"What the heck do you mean, watching my sister-in-law’s drama? Eating watermelon at my sister-in-law’s head?"

Regardless, if Duan Lin Bai goes, Qi Zeyan will most certainly go join in the fun.

...

Originally just a matter within the design circle or Cyan Feather circle, it now became a nationwide major occurrence.

Millions of eyes across the country were eagerly waiting for Tang Wan’s design exhibition.

Even Tang Wan, a person deeply involved, didn’t know how the wind could shift like this.

Fu San Ye has his own circle, and so does Jiang Family; combining these two circles would encompass the highest echelon of Beijing’s elite.

Almost every big shot is included, evenly matched, yet they typically avoid crossing paths, rarely interacting.

Now because of a tiny exhibition, they were all roped in.

Tang Wan didn’t realize she could have such grandstanding.

People outside went crazy; some hoped Tang Wan would cancel the exhibition, yet now many spectators are saying:

"Begging Tang Wan to keep this exhibition going, I want to watch the drama!"

"I want to see the gods fight, yearning for what sparks San Ye and the Fifth Master might bring in collision, thinking about that scene excites me."

"Thousands sign in blood, pleading Tang Wan to continue hosting the exhibition."

...

This is what the grapevine netizens said, while certain animal rights activists, who already opposed Tang Wan, now worsened, wanting to crush her down, even some people went to the Exhibition Center entrance to display banners.

The banners had two demands:

Firstly, for her to cancel the event;

Secondly, for her to provide an explanation for the deceased Kingfisher corpses found.

For a moment, many matters entangled, became a chaotic mess.

And at the storm’s center, Tang Wan was at the Huo Family, watching her son riding a horse.

Huo Qinqi and Shen Shuci went out for a long time with the kids, and visited Pingjiang for a while, just returned to Beijing two days ago.

Huo Qinqi was currently riding a horse, taking turns to take a few kids walking.

Jiang Xiaowai got off, Little Accident went up; Little Accident came down, the family’s daughter climbed aboard; cycling through these kids kept him occupied.

"With things outside so chaotic, are you going to continue hosting your exhibition?" Shen Shuci saw him leisurely and worried for her.

"Didn’t you see the comments online? Thousands sign in blood petitioning me to keep it going, if I don’t continue it, wouldn’t I disappoint them?" Tang Wan jested.

"Do you have a plan prepared?"

Tang Wan remained noncommittal.

At this moment her phone buzzed, seeing the caller ID, she answered immediately, "Miss Yu? This is Tang Wan, I’d like to invite you to attend my exhibition; you know I’m recently beset with scandals, wondering if you’re still willing to come..."

"I always felt that matter wasn’t related to you; being able to attend is my honor."

"Then it’s settled, I’ll send someone to pick you up when the time comes."

"Alright!"

After Yu Zhen hung up the call, she was completely excited.

This time the event was of even larger scale, besides the Jiang Family members attending, even the Fu Family and the young master of the Duan Family...

If she could make an impression in front of these people, get them to remember her, then she wouldn’t need to be a streamer anymore, maybe someone would invest in her to make movies and become a star.

"Who are you inviting?" Shen Shuci looked at Tang Wan; she seemed quite excited after hanging up the call.

"The indispensable star of my exhibition this time."

Shen Shuci pondered without comprehension, only noticing Huo Qinqi beckoning her, so she went over.

And was lifted onto the horse by Huo Qinqi.

Shen Shuci’s face flushed with embarrassment, Huo Qinqi didn’t care, only said, "Didn’t you just say I only had kids riding horses? Now..."

"I’m taking you too."

...

The three little pumpkins sat lined up on the side, watching the pair riding horses.

They couldn’t feel the outside’s intense turmoil; their only concern was how long Shen Shuci would ride before getting down, when it would be their turn to go up.

Watching these two circle around Green Plum Garden, the three little ones were envious, for nobody usually takes them horse riding.

Jiang Xiaowai: "Uncle, I want to ride the horse."

Little Accident: "Wait until my mom gets down."

The Huo Family’s little girl leaned her chin on her hand, "Why do I feel like mom and dad are having so much fun they won’t stop anytime soon."

Tang Wan watched from the side, rather amused; where do parents go play and have their kids just watching by?
