Chapter 100 (part 2): Rebirth of the Tool Man in a Pampered Protagonist Novel

It wasn’t until he found out that Yan Tong had cuckolded him that he felt as if he had been hit hard on the head and finally woke up.

Yan Tong was toxic; he had ruined everything for him, and he had to make him pay!

Yan Tong might have the leverage of a “mysterious big shot” to collaborate with the second branch of the family, but Xie Wenxu’s position in the second branch was awkward. He couldn’t use his current power to deal with Yan Tong.

But that was okay; he could first destroy Yan Tong’s reputation.

As for Yan Tong and the second branch’s cooperation… ha, Xie Wenxu thought their so-called grand plans were nothing but pipe dreams. His grandmother and uncles would surely regret it.

“I will take responsibility for everything I’ve done. Lastly, I have something to say. Ziyang, I might never be able to make up for my betrayal, and ‘sorry’ sounds so hollow, but I still want to say… I’m sorry.”

In the video, Xie Wenxu’s face showed a pale, bitter smile.

He had once loved Ziyang so much; their time together had been wonderful, but he had destroyed it all with his own hands.

Even though Yan Tong had maliciously schemed, he couldn’t escape responsibility.

Xie Wenxu was taken to the police station for assault.

Online, the scandal of Xie Wenxu’s dramatic confrontation, along with his self-recorded confession, caused an uproar.

The incident not only involved the previously hotly debated Fang Ziyang, Yan Tong, and Xie Wenxu, but also the popular actor Lu Yan, making it a headline-grabbing scandal.

When people saw the news online, they were shocked.

“Wow, Yan Tong is something else. Not only did he seduce Fang Ziyang’s fiancé, but now he’s involved with Fang Ziyang’s uncle, and they even had a child together. I’ve got to hand it to him…”

“What kind of grudge does he have against Fang Ziyang to keep targeting him like this?”

“I always said Yan Tong was a green tea b****. My friend used to say he was just a victim of a bunch of idiotic admirers and that it was the fans’ behavior, not his fault. It pissed me off so much I stopped being friends with them. See, I was right all along!”

“You’d never guess he was this scheming and vicious…”

“Strange, his appearance looks so innocent and kind. How could he be involved in such scandalous affairs?”

“Are you a face reader? It’s not strange. There’s a saying that you can know a person’s face but not their heart.”

“Lu Yan is just disgusting. Stealing someone’s partner is bad enough, but doing it with his own nephew’s enemy? What was he thinking? I’m done with him.”

“This is too much. Why would Lu Yan do something so gross? I’m turning from a fan to a hater!”

“Lu Yan can go to hell. I can’t believe I ever idolized him. I’m furious!”

Netizens fervently discussed the scandal.

Dramatic scandals and gossip never go out of style.

Yan Tong, who already had a history of scandals, had a mixed reputation online. Although people despised his actions, they were somewhat prepared for such news, so while the discussions were heated, the emotions were relatively contained.

But for Lu Yan, it was different.

Especially among his fans, the reaction was extremely intense.

Since his debut, Lu Yan had maintained a perfect image. As a child, he was a beloved star, and as an adult, he was a national heartthrob. His background as the son of a scientific family also added to his appeal in the entertainment industry.

Recently, Lu Yan had gained even more popularity due to several high-profile endorsements. He had just boosted his public image and was at the height of his fame.

At this moment, the revelation that Lu Yan not only cheated with someone’s fiancé but also got them pregnant was like a bombshell to his fans.

When the perfect image shattered, the fans’ previous adoration turned into intense hatred.

Adding to the mix were his rivals who took the opportunity to fan the flames.

In no time, Yan Tong and Lu Yan were both vilified, their reputations destroyed.

Lu Yan’s manager was completely stunned. He had no idea the two were involved, let alone that it had escalated to this!

But neither Yan Tong nor Lu Yan knew any of this yet.

One was crippled, the other had miscarried; both were lying unconscious in the hospital…

At the police station.

Madam Zhou stared at her grandson with a grim expression, barely containing her rage.

“Xie Wenxu, have you lost your mind? Why did you bring this to the public? Do you know the consequences of your actions?”

Madam Zhou was almost beside herself with anger.

She never expected her carefully groomed grandson to become such a liability, repeatedly acting foolishly over emotional matters.

First, he insisted on marrying Fang Ziyang, then he insisted on being with Yan Tong, and now he had publicized his cuckolding scandal online.

If she had known he was such a romantic fool, she would have strangled him at birth. Look at the mess he’s caused the second branch!

Her face contorted with fury.

Xie Wenxu looked at her twisted expression, his smile full of sarcasm.

“Madam Zhou, you were right all along. I do regret it now. So, I will face the consequences of my actions. I have nothing more to say. But you have no right to lecture me.”
