Quick Transmigration: The Villain Is Too Pampered and Alluring - Chapter 126

As soon as Shen Yuan’s Weibo post went live, the internet exploded because anyone with a bit of sense could see what she meant.

The implication about the S-surnamed actress who wanted to take shortcuts was that Sheng Nuan was trying to cling to Fu Yunxi. However, Fu Yunxi didn’t think much of her, at most, he was just playing around with her, and any help he provided was likely for that reason.

In other words, Shen Yuan’s Weibo post was equivalent to a direct admission from the male side that Sheng Nuan had a close relationship with Fu Yunxi, the president of Fu Shi Technology… but Fu Yunxi didn’t think much of her and was merely playing around.

What does “playing around” mean? Doesn’t that just imply they were lovers?

Shen Yuan’s Weibo post ignited a storm online. Within a day, the rumor about Sheng Nuan being kept had spread like wildfire, all while the annual gala for Penguin Tech was reaching its conclusion.

The final segment featured Feng Qian, the head of Penguin Tech, alongside several familiar business tycoons and celebrities, being drawn into gossip by the event’s host for the audience.

The host, Du Xiaoxiao, was known in the industry for her bold and direct questioning, leaving even Feng Qian struggling to respond and begging for mercy.

Then, because of a rumor about a real estate mogul keeping a young male lover, she pulled the mogul present at the event out to ask him directly.

The real estate mogul’s face turned red as he hurriedly clarified, “I don’t even know that artist! Who knows what kind of lunatics are online…”

Feigning regret, the host said, “What a pity! I was hoping Mr. Shao might like this sort of thing and want to get to know you better.”

Since the host had also been rumored to be gay, she joked about herself.

The audience erupted in laughter…

Fu Yunxi remained expressionless, checking his watch as he prepared to leave, but just then, the host cheerfully approached him.

“It’s rare to catch you, Mr. Fu… You’re the youngest here, yet the hardest to find—quite a feat!”

Feng Qian pretended to be angry, “Are you saying the rest of us are old?”

The host winked, “Old or not, don’t you know in your heart?”

Laughter filled the room again…

Fu Yunxi didn’t want to embarrass Feng Qian, so he patiently nodded and greeted them.

“Hey, Mr. Fu, let me ask on behalf of the many netizens. There’s a lot of talk online about the S-surnamed actress and your close relationship… is it true?”

Fu Yunxi’s expression instantly turned dark!

He didn’t know what Sheng Nuan was up to, but in any case, he couldn’t respond in such a setting… But Fu Yunxi was unaware that his mother had already stepped in.

“Everyone, look! We have a special segment at the Penguin annual gala. Mr. Fu is being asked about the gossip…”

“Oh my god, Du Xiaoxiao, I love you!”

“Here it comes, here it comes, let’s gather around and eat melon¹…”

On the screen, the young man, exuding an air of authority and elegance, looked cold and expressionless as he said in a flat tone, “I currently only have ordinary friends around me, thank you.”

Instantly, the internet erupted…

“He denied it! Just as his mother said, he doesn’t acknowledge Sheng Nuan at all?”

“Even with photos captured, he still denies it. What do you think?”

“Ahhh, I finally got into this young lady! No, I don’t believe it! I’m going to wait for the young lady’s response!”

“All the elders have come forward, okay? Hurry back and advise your sister to be more realistic. If she can’t marry into a wealthy family, don’t force it…”

Fu Yunxi had no idea what had transpired over the past two hours at the gala. After it ended, he declined Feng Qian’s invitation to drink together and left alone.

Meanwhile, Fu Yunjin, who was gaming, was bombarded by Xiao Fei asking for the truth. He quickly pulled out his phone and then saw the messages from his mother and brother.

He was completely stunned.

His brother had broken up with Sheng Nuan? Why had his mother suddenly intervened? What on earth had happened?

In the next moment, he saw that Sheng Nuan had posted on Weibo.

Sheng Nuan had released a statement.

Sheng Nuan V: 1. During my time with Mr. Fu, I did not spend a single penny of his money. He gifted me items, and I also gave him gifts of equal value. As for the term “kept,” I don’t dare accept such an accusation.

2. Regarding Mrs. Shen’s proposal to offer me 10 million to leave, I did not accept her money, and I have already peacefully broken up with Mr. Fu.

3. Since you’re all here, please help me vote!

Attached was a link to a poll regarding the three theme songs for ‘Assassin’s League’… They were giving the choice to gamers and netizens around the world.

Fu Yunjin was completely stunned. In the next moment, he snapped back to reality, quickly dialing Fu Yunxi.

As Fu Yunxi got into the car and took out his phone, he saw Fu Yunjin calling. When he answered the call, he heard his brother’s shocked and disbelieving voice.

“Brother, did you really break up with Sheng Nuan?”

Fu Yunxi frowned. “What nonsense are you talking about?”

The discussions online were baseless. His response was just a common official reply to brush off the media. Was he supposed to admit that Sheng Nuan was his lover?

That would directly ruin her career.

Brushing off the media and later suppressing those rumors… this was all standard procedure.

Fu Yunjin was confused, “Then why did Mom post that Weibo?”

Mom?

Fu Yunxi was momentarily stunned, and then a bad premonition appeared in his heart. He hung up on Fu Yunjin and then noticed he had missed calls from his assistant.

At that moment, Mo Jie jumped out of another car and rushed over to sit in the passenger seat, panting. “President Fu, I tried calling you but couldn’t get through. The online sentiment isn’t looking good right now. Our team has managed to handle a lot of the backlash from Mrs. Fu’s message, but Miss Sheng has just posted on Weibo…”

Fu Yunxi was a bit flustered. He quickly opened Weibo, and his attention was immediately drawn to Sheng Nuan’s statement.

The first point left him a bit stunned, and he didn’t react right away. Instinctively, he moved on to the second point, and then his heart tightened.

His mother went to find Sheng Nuan?

Then he saw the Weibo post his mother made… In an instant, Fu Yunxi’s expression turned ashen.

He finally understood why Fu Yunjin had just assumed he had broken up with Sheng Nuan.

The netizens had leaked photos of him and Sheng Nuan…

His earlier response had merely been a casual dismissal of the media, but that was under the premise that his mother hadn’t posted anything… Now, with his mother’s post stating that Sheng Nuan had been clingy and his disdain for her, it changed everything.

Then, he denied his relationship with Sheng Nuan in front of the media… In the eyes of others, this seemed to validate his mother’s statement: even if they were photographed holding hands and traveling together, he still refused to acknowledge that Sheng Nuan, who was “clingy” to him.

Fu Yunxi couldn’t remember the last time he felt this flustered, especially after seeing Sheng Nuan’s statement, which was so calm and concise that it even included a call for votes.

He pulled out his phone, and when he unlocked it, he noticed his fingers were trembling slightly.

After dialing the number, he held his breath… But after several tries, no one picked up.

“Go back to Chongming Road.”

Fu Yunxi instructed the driver to return to the villa where he and Sheng Nuan lived, his whole being engulfed in an unprecedented sense of panic…
