Chapter 146 The backlash will be devastating for us.
Mr. Zhou couldn't stop him and could only follow behind, sweating profusely with anxiety.
Su Wanqing walked straight to the gate of Shen Yu's courtyard, and without knocking, she pushed the door open and barged in.
At this moment, Shen Yu's family was drinking tea in the courtyard. Niannian and Guigui were playing on the swings, Jiang Xinlan was peeling oranges for them, and Shen Yu was sitting on the stone bench, looking at them with gentle eyes.
Su Wanqing's sudden intrusion shattered the tranquility of the courtyard.
Jiang Xinlan looked up, somewhat surprised, and asked, "Teacher Su? What brings you here? Is something the matter?"
Su Wanqing crossed her arms, looked around the yard, and her eyes were full of jealousy.
This courtyard was indeed much better than her room; it had a separate kitchen, a small garden, and a children's swing, and it was quiet and comfortable.
"Jiang Xinlan," Su Wanqing said bluntly, her tone arrogant, "I want to switch courtyards with you. I'll stay in this courtyard, and you can stay in my standard room."
Jiang Xinlan was taken aback for a moment, then frowned: "Teacher Su, this won't do. We've already moved in, and the child is young and needs a quiet environment."
"So what if the child is young? Doesn't my rest matter?" Su Wanqing sneered.
"I'm a top star, and how well I live directly affects the show's ratings. If you know what's good for you, pack your things and move out now, or I'll make things difficult for you."
Shen Yu raised his head and glanced at Su Wanqing. His eyes were calm and expressionless, yet they carried an inexplicable sense of oppression. He didn't speak, but simply put down his teacup with a soft thud.
This soft sound made Su Wanqing inexplicably panic and instinctively take a step back.
But she quickly calmed down, realizing she had been intimidated, and said even more arrogantly, "What? You want to fight? Let me tell you, you'll have to change this courtyard whether you like it or not!"
"Teacher Su, you've gone too far." Jiang Xinlan stood up, blocking Shen Yu's path, her tone firm.
"This courtyard was assigned to us by the production team, and we won't change it. If you have any objections, you can talk to the production team; please don't disturb our lives."
"So what if I'm bothering you?" Su Wanqing threw a tantrum. "If you don't change the courtyard today, I'm not leaving!"
Just then, Chen Guodong arrived with Bai Hui, Gu Yanchen, and Wen Ran. He had just heard that Su Wanqing had come to cause trouble for Jiang Xinlan, so he immediately followed.
"Wanqing, haven't you made enough of a scene?" Chen Guodong's face darkened, and his tone became stern.
"The courtyard was pre-assigned by the production team. It's perfectly reasonable for Teacher Jiang, who has two children, to live in a separate courtyard. As a public figure, how can you be so unreasonable?"
"Teacher Chen, this is between Jiang Xinlan and me, it has nothing to do with you," Su Wanqing said indignantly.
"How can it be nothing?" Chen Guodong snorted coldly.
"We're all guests recording this show together, we should be considerate of each other. If you keep acting so unreasonable, I'll be the first to object. At worst, none of us will record this show, let's see who loses more."
Gu Yanchen also spoke up, "Teacher Su, I think Teacher Chen is right. We should be considerate of each other."
Wen Ran nodded in agreement: "Yes, Teacher Su, it's definitely more convenient for Teacher Jiang's child to live in a separate courtyard since he's young."
Seeing everyone siding with Jiang Xinlan, Su Wanqing was so angry that her face turned red and tears were about to fall.
She had never suffered such humiliation before, and gritted her teeth, saying, "Fine, you're all on her side, right? Fine, I won't change!"
As she spoke, she glared fiercely at Shen Yu and Jiang Xinlan, then turned and ran out.
Mr. Zhou quickly followed. Before leaving, he took a deep look at Shen Yu, his eyes full of awe, and bowed slightly to Shen Yu before leaving.
The courtyard returned to peace.
Jiang Xinlan sighed, "I didn't expect it to turn out like this. I'm so sorry to have bothered everyone."
"It's alright, it has nothing to do with you. She's just being unreasonable." Chen Guodong waved his hand. "Don't take it to heart. Get some rest. If you need anything, just let us know."
After saying that, Chen Guodong led everyone away.
Shen Yu stood up, walked to Jiang Xinlan's side, and gently put his arm around her shoulder: "Don't be angry, it's not worth it."
"I'm not angry," Jiang Xinlan shook her head and leaned against him, "I just feel a little confused."
Shen Yu didn't speak, but looked up at the direction Su Wanqing had left in, his eyes turning slightly cold.
He doesn't want to cause trouble, but he's not afraid of trouble either.
If Su Wanqing dares to bother his family again, he wouldn't mind letting her know what the real price is.
The live stream chat is already buzzing with arguments:
[Su Wanqing is going too far! Why should she force someone to change their courtyard?]
[So selfish! They only think of themselves and don't care about other people's children at all.]
[Teacher Chen Guodong is right, that's completely unreasonable, I'm turning against him.]
What did Mr. Zhou's final bow mean? He seemed quite afraid of Mr. Shen?
I've long suspected that Mr. Shen is no ordinary person. Mr. Zhou is a renowned feng shui master in the industry; anyone who can make him bow must be a highly accomplished individual.
[Waiting for Su Wanqing to be slapped in the face; she dared to mess with Mr. Shen, she'll regret it.]
The room-swapping dispute turned into an unpleasant affair, and Su Wanqing, seething with anger, returned to her room, slammed the door, and swept everything off the table.
"Why?! Why is Jiang Xinlan better than me in every way? So what if she married some guy who just appeared out of nowhere? What's so great about that?!"
Mr. Zhou, who was following behind, sighed and advised:
"Teacher Su, please don't be angry. That Mr. Shen is really no ordinary person; we can't afford to offend him. Just now, I was in his yard, and even getting close to him made me feel tense all over. I've never seen that kind of aura in my entire life."
Listen to me, don't cause them any more trouble, or we'll be the ones who suffer.
"I don't believe it!" Su Wanqing turned around abruptly, her eyes fierce.
"What aura or what? You made that up to fool me! I think they've bought you off! I have to get my revenge today, or I won't let this go!"
She paced back and forth in the room, then suddenly her eyes lit up as she looked at Mr. Zhou:
"Aren't you a feng shui master? Do you have any way to make them a little unlucky? It doesn't have to be too serious, just make them uncomfortable living there, and make them voluntarily give up their yards."
Mr. Zhou's expression changed drastically, and he waved his hands repeatedly:
"No, no! Absolutely not! Harmful feng shui techniques will backfire, especially since the other party is such a master. Our little tricks are like children playing house in his eyes. If they backfire on us, the consequences will be unimaginable!"
"What backlash? I don't believe it!" Su Wanqing wouldn't listen at all.
"If you don't help me, I'll tell the company you're incompetent and get you replaced! You can forget about working for me again!"
Left with no other choice, Mr. Zhou could only reluctantly agree.
"Well... I can only try the mildest thing I can do, which is to put a small stone tainted with yin energy at their door. At most, it will keep them from sleeping well at night. I absolutely dare not do anything else. If anything goes wrong, please don't blame me."
"Okay, let's do it this way!" Su Wanqing immediately beamed with joy. "Hurry up, hurry up, let's release them while no one's around."
