Chapter 99 (Part 2): Rebirth of the Tool Man in a Pampered Protagonist Novel

Pregnancy capsules can only be legally purchased after same-sex couples register for marriage and decide to have a child, at which point they can apply to the government for purchase.

Otherwise, one has to find a way on the black market.

This is illegal, and if you buy a fake, the government won’t be responsible. Furthermore, if the child is born, the government will impose heavy fines as punishment, so most people wouldn’t take this risk.

Lu Yan isn’t someone who likes children, and it’s even more unlikely that he would want to get married and have children at the peak of his career. So it’s impossible that Lu Yan secretly fed him the capsule.

Then when did he take it?

Yan Tong suddenly remembered the night Shi Meijing had an incident… he was inexplicably knocked out.

At the time, he thought Fang Ziyang was wary of Xie Wenxu and didn’t want to be caught encouraging Shi Meijing to commit a crime, so he just knocked him out and left him in the suburbs as a warning. He was scared but also a bit smug, thinking that Fang Ziyang, without the protagonist’s halo, was just an ordinary person who couldn’t pin anything on him.

But now it seems…

Fang Ziyang wasn’t cautious; he was setting him up!

The pregnancy capsule Shi Meijing had was not consumed by Fang Ziyang but was fed to him instead, and he didn’t realize it until he was already pregnant!

Yan Tong was furious.

But he couldn’t confront Fang Ziyang or tell anyone about it because he had obtained the pregnancy capsule illegally. If investigated, he would be the one to suffer.

Having a child was out of the question.

His career was just starting, he was in his prime, and he didn’t truly like Lu Yan. There was no way he would have the child!

However… getting an abortion would significantly impact his health.

These past few days, Yan Tong had been extremely anxious.

His usually good temper had been uncontrollable lately, leading to several outbursts backstage at “Tomorrow’s Star.”

Fortunately, with the support of the second branch of the Xie family and Lu Yan, and since mobile phones weren’t allowed during recording, his diva behavior hadn’t yet made the trending news.

But although it hadn’t hit the news, the resentment among contestants and staff was palpable.

A few boy band contestants stood in the corner, frequently glancing disdainfully at Yan Tong, who was resting on the sofa in a bad mood.

“What’s with Yan Tong lately? He just yelled at a makeup artist again. That’s not like him; wasn’t he always playing the green tea b****, charming everyone on the production team?”

The speaker was Wang Xi, a top-three contestant and fierce competitor of Yan Tong. Naturally, they disliked each other and Wang Xi had long seen through Yan Tong’s facade.

Wang Xi, who had some background, spoke freely about Yan Tong, using various derogatory terms.

Other contestants close to Wang Xi shared his disdain for Yan Tong.

“Who knows? Maybe he’s tired of pretending. I heard Lu Yan’s recent commercials and endorsements have been very well received, and with Lu Yan’s strong support, Yan Tong might be getting cocky…”

“I don’t get what Lu Yan sees in him. Everyone knows Yan Tong is trash, but Lu Yan supports him so much, even arranging good advertisements for him.”

“I heard Lu Yan is Fang Ziyang’s uncle, right? Yan Tong stole Fang Ziyang’s fiancé, and as Fang Ziyang’s uncle, Lu Yan still supports Yan Tong. I can’t imagine how Fang Ziyang feels; even as an outsider, I’m outraged…”

“Exactly. Poor Fang Ziyang. Besides his terrible dad and brother, even his uncle is a disappointment…”

“I can’t see any merit in Yan Tong besides being fake. Lu Yan is one thing, but I don’t get why Xie Wenxu is engaged to him. It’s an engagement, not just dating! I can’t understand why people like such a fake person.”

“Scumbags flock together…”

Their conversation was filled with jealousy and disdain.

–

As they were talking, one of the subjects of their discussion appeared.

Ignoring the staff’s attempts to stop him, Xie Wenxu stormed into the backstage area of “Tomorrow’s Star.”

“Young Master Xie, this is the backstage area of a recording. You can’t go in. Please don’t make things difficult for us. If you continue, we’ll have to call security…”

Several staff members, looking troubled, tried to block him.

But faced with an enraged Xie Wenxu, they didn’t dare to be too forceful, resorting to pleading instead.

However, he was beyond reasoning.

Xie Wenxu was seething with rage, unable to believe Yan Tong had cuckolded him!

And with a child, no less!

Seeing the intimate photos of Yan Tong and Lu Yan, and the pregnancy test documents, he felt like the biggest fool in the world, played by a deceitful, hypocritical scoundrel.

He had thought he had seen through Yan Tong’s true nature, realizing he wasn’t as kind and simple as he appeared.
