Chapter 180: Ignored
Feng Changheng was infuriated by Xiao Yanyan's attitude, but just as Xiao Yanyan had said, he truly did not dare to confront Yin Chengjue head-on at the moment.
Ever since Feng Chengda and Yin He divorced, Feng Changheng's life had been greatly affected. After Feng Chengda was discharged from the hospital, he had caused trouble for Yin Chengjue several times, but all ended without result.
There was no other way. Yin Chengjue held too many cards, and on top of that, Yin Changhong wasn't just idly watching either. So, despite Feng Chengda trying every possible method, he had not succeeded in clearing his name and making a comeback.
Only now did Feng Chengda truly and clearly realize that everything he had today was entirely because Yin He had loved him. Once that affection was severed, then everything would leave him. All the wealth, reputation, and influence he had obtained through Yin He could be taken away in an instant. Even the son who had always looked at him with admiring eyes would now stand opposite him, gazing at him with the coldest, most ruthless eyes, and dealing with him using the most heartless methods.
And Su Zi and Feng Changheng, who depended on Feng Chengda, were naturally affected as a result.
Worried that Yin Chengjue might show Feng Chengda the evidence of her and her son attempting to delay Feng Chengda's treatment, causing their last pillar of support to abandon them, Su Zi now avoided Yin Chengjue, afraid of running into him again. However, Feng Changheng was unwilling to accept this!
No matter how much Su Zi warned him not to provoke Yin Chengjue, Feng Changheng couldn't help but compare himself to Yin Chengjue in every aspect.
Every time he saw Yin Chengjue achieve even a small success, Feng Changheng would feel extremely displeased.
Therefore, after Feng Chengda managed to operate some businesses away from the Yin family's sphere and saw a bit of improvement and spare money, Feng Changheng immediately asked for an increase in his allowance, wanting to save up for future grand plans.
Feng Chengda had always doted on this son. He could even easily forgive this son for laying hands on him. How could he possibly refuse when Feng Changheng wanted more money?
Thus, with money in his hands again, Feng Changheng began plotting to plant a "spy" in Yin Chengjue's new company.
And Xiao Yanyan was the person Feng Changheng selected.
Actually, Feng Changheng met this woman because of a street fight incident.
That day, Feng Changheng had finally managed to invite Ming Qian out for a stroll. On the way, they ran into a few young masters from the wealthy families in his class. Ever since those young masters learned Feng Changheng was an illegitimate child, they had looked down on him. They often picked on Feng Changheng at school. Running into him on the street this time, they were even more unwilling to miss the chance to humiliate him.
Feng Changheng usually endured it at school, but that time, it was in front of Ming Qian. For the sake of his own pride, Feng Changheng naturally refused to let them bully him, so he swung a punch and hit one of them.
Those rich young masters weren't pushovers either. Once one was hit, the others immediately charged forward angrily, surrounding Feng Changheng and giving him a thorough beating.
Feng Changheng, raised in luxury and spoiled by Su Zi and Feng Chengda, had no idea how to fight. That punch to one young master's face was already his greatest effort.
So, unsurprisingly, Feng Changheng was beaten to a pulp by that group of young masters.
Bystanders saw this and quickly called the police. Fortunately, there was a police station nearby, and they responded quickly, saving Feng Changheng's life.
Feng Changheng, beaten until his head was bloody and his body covered in wounds on the street, was carried onto an ambulance. At that time, he was still somewhat conscious, so he instinctively searched for where Ming Qian was. It was only then he realized that on the bustling street, Ming Qian had long since disappeared from sight.
Just when he had fought to prove himself to his boyfriend, his boyfriend, worried that the large crowd might expose his identity as a celebrity, chose to hide.
At that moment, Feng Changheng felt his heart turn cold.
So, when Ming Qian, having avoided the crowd and in full disguise, came to the hospital to visit him, Feng Changheng didn't hesitate to propose breaking up.
Previously, when Feng Changheng was in financial difficulty, Ming Qian naturally hoped they would break up every day. But now that Feng Chengda's career had shown a bit of improvement and Feng Changheng had money in hand again, how could Ming Qian possibly give up on Feng Changheng?
Thus, Ming Qian started clinging desperately, trying every way to win Feng Changheng back.
Feng Changheng, holding a grudge against Ming Qian, naturally didn't want to deal with him. So he randomly found a woman online for a date, then took photos to show Ming Qian he already had a new lover.
And this woman was Xiao Yanyan.
As expected, Ming Qian's visits to Feng Changheng decreased because of this. Seeing that Xiao Yanyan was not bad-looking, Feng Changheng came up with the idea of having Xiao Yanyan seduce Yin Chengjue.
Right now, Xiao Yanyan was "left alone in an empty room." She didn't know which room Yin Chengjue was staying in, and certainly couldn't do something as foolish as knocking on every door to look for him. She could only put on her clothes and consider today's attempt a failure.
However, before leaving, Xiao Yanyan didn't forget to send Feng Changheng a message: "By the way, I saw Ming Qian at the banquet today."
Hearing this name, even though Feng Changheng had already broken up with him, he couldn't help but want to know about the other's recent situation.
Of course, just like his feelings towards Yin Chengjue, as long as he could see the other person doing poorly, his mood would be very good.
Therefore, hearing that Ming Qian had appeared there made Feng Changheng very unhappy, because it meant Ming Qian didn't go alone—someone had taken him inside!
"Who did he go with?" Feng Changheng couldn't help but ask.
"It was that young master of the Chang family, Chang Yue," Xiao Yanyan said. "I saw him enter with Chang Yue. But there's another thing I'm sure you'll be very interested in."
Thinking of what she saw at the banquet, Xiao Yanyan couldn't help but laugh. "You definitely can't imagine how amusing the scene was! Your celebrity ex-boyfriend, today he was meticulously dressed, down to his hair and shoes, clearly putting in effort to look especially pure and innocent, like someone who had mistakenly wandered into that venue."
Xiao Yanyan walked out of the room door, quietly sending voice messages to Feng Changheng as she headed towards the elevator.
Xiao Yanyan said, "Then, just as Yin Chengjue, Yin Changhong, and Yin He entered the banquet hall, he immediately walked over. At first, there were too many people gathered around, and he couldn't get through, so he watched patiently from outside. Later, when the crowd thinned, he started trying every way to catch Yin Chengjue's attention. However, no matter how much he lingered and circled nearby, Yin Chengjue simply didn't notice him—didn't even give him a single glance."
As Xiao Yanyan spoke, she laughed, her laughter carrying a bit of schadenfreude.
She had been flaunting herself in front of Yin Chengjue at the company every day without making any progress. That Ming Qian, fluttering around from such a distance, couldn't even manage to "flirt" properly. He just stood there sighing softly, his expression carrying a bit of pitiful melancholy, as if waiting for some attentive person to come up and ask him why he was sad.
Because Xiao Yanyan had been keeping an eye on Yin Chengjue, wanting to drug him, she happened to witness this scene. She saw Yin Chengjue pass by Ming Qian again and again, only focused on picking pastries onto a plate and then feeding the Huansheng Entertainment artist who had been eating non-stop since entering.
A superior bringing a new artist out to expand their network was quite normal in this circle. Plus, both were men. Unless one was already inclined that way, few would think in other directions.
When Xiao Yanyan saw Rong Yu standing beside Yin Chengjue, she didn't find it strange either. Their interaction was simply too natural, not looking like that kind of relationship at all. Especially with Ming Qian posing melancholically beside them, trying to attract Yin Chengjue's attention. Against the backdrop of Ming Qian's purposeful behavior, Yin Chengjue and Rong Yu's actions at the banquet seemed especially harmonious and normal.
Xiao Yanyan concluded, "So, it's definitely not a problem with my charm!"
However, Feng Changheng on the other end couldn't listen to Xiao Yanyan's concluding remarks at all. From the moment he heard that Ming Qian had not only hooked up with Chang Yue to get into the venue but also tried to cozy up to Yin Chengjue, he felt a painful swelling in his heart.
After hanging up, Feng Changheng angrily swept everything off the table in front of him onto the floor!
"Damn it! Damn it, all of you, every single one of you deserves to die," Feng Changheng cursed viciously.
"What's wrong? What was that sound just now?" Su Zi, who was applying a facial mask in her room, heard the sound of things falling and hurried out, afraid something had happened.
Seeing only the items that had been on the table scattered across the floor, Su Zi frowned. "Feng Changheng, what are you doing! Can't you be quiet and give me some peace on the weekend?"
Not daring to tell Su Zi about all the issues with his ex-boyfriend, Feng Changheng could only say, "I know, I'll clean it up right away."
Su Zi quickly checked the scattered items on the floor. After confirming there were no valuable objects, she let out a sigh of relief. Times were different from before; they couldn't afford to live so carelessly anymore. If a valuable purple clay teapot had been on the table and broken, Feng Chengda would have been furious.
"Don't do this again. What if there was an important document your father needed on the table? If you push things over and water splashes on the paper, wouldn't all the effort be wasted?" Su Zi said disapprovingly.
"I already said I know! What more do you want from me? Why do all of you like to go against me!" Scolded by Su Zi, Feng Changheng lost control for a moment and retorted angrily. "You only know how to criticize me, but aren't you the same? Also, why are you dressing up like that and going out all the time these days?"
