Chapter 9: Yin Yan’s Scandal

    “Xingyang, Yin Yan is very careful. There’s only this early black material, but since it involves the Shen family, should we release it?”

    Xiao Qi didn’t dare to release this black material without permission, so he had to ask Shen Xingyang for his opinion first.

    Shen Xingyang looked at it. It was about Yin Yan competing for a male lead role. The candidate had already been decided, but Yin Yan used the Shen family to threaten the director and replaced the male lead with himself.

    Shen Xingyang smiled: “Release it, why not? The title should be, ‘Popular Star Relies on Powerful Backer to Snatch Role.'”

    Shen Jinjue still didn’t know that he had asked Shen Jinlin for Yin Yan’s sake. If he knew, would he still appreciate Yin Yan so much?

    This scandal wouldn’t have a particularly big impact on Yin Yan, but it would change Shen Jinjue’s perception of Yin Yan. To make Shen Jinjue distrust Yin Yan, he could only subtly change things.

    Xiao Qi didn’t expect Shen Xingyang to be so heartless. Shen Xingyang was indeed decisive in his work, never listening to explanations from his subordinates. If they made mistakes, they were fired. This was something many people couldn’t do.

    But he didn’t expect Shen Xingyang to be like this in relationships either, and that was Yin Yan! The person Shen Xingyang once valued more than his own life.

    Shen Xingyang looked at Xiao Qi’s expression. He knew Xiao Qi couldn’t understand why he was treating Yin Yan this way, just like Song Yichen couldn’t understand why he was pretending to like Yin Yan.

    Because he was the only one with the memories of his previous life, he was the only one who had experienced those things, but no one else had, so he didn’t expect others to understand.

    “Xingyang, what exactly did Yin Yan do to make you so angry?”

    Shen Xingyang raised his head and smiled in surprise.

    Shen Xingyang thought Xiao Qi would ask, “Why are you treating Yin Yan this way?” But he didn’t expect Xiao Qi to think that Yin Yan had done something wrong first.

    “Xiao Qi, I don’t know how to tell you, but if you believe me, then trust me, Yin Yan… is not a good person.”

    Xiao Qi didn’t ask and nodded, indicating that he believed what Shen Xingyang said.

    Xiao Qi was always biased and only helped those he was close to, regardless of the reason. Even if Shen Xingyang didn’t explain, Xiao Qi would still help him if he wanted to do it.

    “Xiao Qi, thank you.”

    Shen Xingyang was very happy to have Xiao Qi back.

    In his previous life, due to Yin Yan’s restrictions, he didn’t have many friends. He didn’t cherish his only friend. Now that he thought about his previous life, it was truly a muddled existence.

    Because of Yin Yan’s fame, this topic quickly became a trending topic. Everyone speculated that Yin Yan’s backer was Shen Jinlin, since the Shen family’s children were all in the military camp, except for Shen Jinlin, who was in Mu City.

    Yin Yan’s studio tried to suppress the trending topic, but no matter what they did, they couldn’t bring it down, so they could only let it ferment.

    More and more people came to ask Yin Yan, but Yin Yan didn’t respond.

    Shen Xingyang waited for a long time and finally received the call he wanted to receive.

    “Xingyang, what’s going on with that trending topic?”

    Shen Jinjue’s tone was very urgent, showing that he took this matter seriously. Because he knew that Shen Xingyang didn’t have real power in the company, no one would recognize him, so if someone was helping Yin Yan behind the scenes, that person could only be Shen Jinlin.

    But Shen Jinlin didn’t know Yin Yan, so Shen Jinjue knew without thinking that Shen Xingyang had asked Shen Jinlin for help.

    That kid Shen Jinlin hated Shen Xingyang more than anything and would definitely not help him so easily. Shen Xingyang must have been humiliated a lot when he went to Shen Jinlin.

    His precious younger brother Shen Jinjue, when had he ever been wronged like this?

    “Brother, don’t you know? Those trending topics are all nonsense. What relationship could Yin Yan have with Shen Jinlin?”

    Shen Xingyang explained to Shen Jinjue nonchalantly, as if this was just a small matter.

    Shen Jinjue realized that Shen Xingyang was trying to evade the topic, and his tone became stricter: “You know what I’m talking about. Did Yin Yan ask you to go to Shen Jinlin?”

    Shen Jinjue now just wanted to kill Yin Yan. He was worried that Shen Xingyang would be wronged, so he tried to get him to move out of the Shen Manor, but he didn’t guard against that kid Yin Yan.

    Shen Xingyang hesitated for a long time before denying it, but his words lacked authenticity. Shen Jinjue was furious and originally wanted to call Yin Yan.

    However, Shen Xingyang begged Shen Jinjue for a long time, asking him not to confront Yin Yan. Shen Jinjue listened to the usually lawless Shen Xingyang begging him humbly, and he felt very uncomfortable.

    Shen Xingyang hung up the phone and smiled at the trending topic on the computer.

    “Yin Yan, this is just the first step!”

    He would let Shen Jinjue know what Yin Yan had done under his trust.

    The success of Shen Xingyang’s initial plan made him very happy. He was smiling all the way back today.

    “Very happy?”

    Song Yichen also saw that trending topic today. To be able to release things related to the Shen family, besides the Four Great Families, only the Shen family themselves dared to release it.

    Song Yichen was still suspicious, but when he saw Shen Xingyang so happy, he didn’t need to doubt anymore. It was Shen Xingyang himself.

    “Quite happy.”

    The plan was successful from the beginning, so Shen Xingyang was naturally happy.

    Song Yichen didn’t speak. He didn’t know why.

    If someone else used such methods, he would definitely feel disgusted, but he didn’t know why, when it was Shen Xingyang, he didn’t feel anything.

    Was it because of Shen Xingyang’s physical condition, so he categorized Shen Xingyang as a weak person? As for the reason, he didn’t know himself.

    He just couldn’t understand why Shen Xingyang didn’t like Yin Yan, why he didn’t break up, and instead used various methods to plot against Yin Yan.

    Didn’t Shen Xingyang feel tired in such a relationship?

    “Aunt Luo.”

    Song Yichen called out, and Aunt Luo placed a small piece of cake in front of Shen Xingyang.

    Shen Xingyang looked surprised, looking at the cake with shining eyes.

    The last time Shen Xingyang ate cake, which was also the only time, was when he locked up his brother to get it. Although nothing happened, it scared his brother enough.

    Later, Shen Xingyang didn’t dare to eat it again.

    Actually, a big reason was that he was worried about seeing his brother worried about him again.

    “Your physical condition has been pretty good recently. This is a low-sugar cake that Aunt Luo made. You can try it. If you feel uncomfortable, let me know.”

    Shen Xingyang didn’t even want to eat dinner when he saw this and started eating it with a fork.

    Shen Xingyang ate every bite very slowly. Due to Yin Yan and Shen Jinjue’s supervision, he only ate cake once in his previous life until his death.

    He never thought that he would eat it again. He ate every bite very slowly, holding it in his mouth for a long time before swallowing it.

    Song Yichen looked at Shen Xingyang, and his initial feeling was actually heartache. Shen Xingyang didn’t see Song Yichen’s expression, his heart and eyes were all on the cake.

    Song Yichen finished his meal, but Shen Xingyang hadn’t finished his cake yet.

    He was reluctant to put the last bit in his mouth for a long time. Song Yichen smiled and pretended to ask Aunt Luo to take it away. Shen Xingyang became anxious and stuffed it all into his mouth.

    After eating it, he even licked the corners of his mouth. From Shen Xingyang’s eyes, one could imagine how delicious the cake was.

    Song Yichen had never wanted to heal someone like he did now. In his life, he had encountered patients of all sizes, some he had cured, and some he hadn’t.

    He thought that as a doctor, he was already used to this kind of thing, but when he saw Shen Xingyang, he realized that he could never let it go.

    He wanted everyone to be able to live normally, do what they wanted to do, and eat what they wanted to eat.

    “After eating, you have to measure your blood sugar for several days in a row. Do you still want to eat it?”

    Song Yichen tore off a piece of paper and handed it to Shen Xingyang. Measuring blood sugar required pricking his finger.

    Before, he would measure Shen Xingyang’s blood sugar every morning, and all ten fingers were pricked before Shen Xingyang begged him to take a break for a few days.

    He had already agreed, but today after eating this cake, he would probably have to prick them for a long time again.

    “Yes! It’s okay, prick it, it doesn’t hurt.”

    Shen Xingyang said stubbornly. The most painful thing was the bone marrow examination, everything else was fine, but because he had received too many injections since he was a child, Shen Xingyang had a kind of inexplicable fear of needles.

    So every time he was pricked, he would feel very painful, a large part of which was psychological pressure.

    Song Yichen smiled. He didn’t say that when he was pricked before and didn’t even dare to look.
