Chapter 140: Chapter 140: Your Son Faces a Bloody Disaster

After everyone exchanged a few pleasantries, Zhao Jing began to show them to their seats.

A huge table was set up under the sunshade.

Among them, Actor Sun Yingbin had the most seniority, so he was supposed to sit in the prime viewing spot facing the sea.

But Sun Yingbin felt that Zhao Jing, as the show’s host, should take that seat, so he sat down to the side.

However, Zhao Jing also refused the seat and sat down opposite Sun Yingbin.

Meng Xiaoxiao giggled and took the seat next to Zhao Jing.

Seeing this, Zhou Ye sat in the lowest-ranking seat.

He knew he had the least clout, so sitting there wouldn’t cause any problems.

That left only the head of the table.

Sun Yingbin was worried Shen Zhiyao wouldn’t dare to take it and was about to switch seats to save her the awkwardness.

Who would have thought that in the next second, Shen Zhiyao would plop right down into it.

Sun Yingbin said with a laugh, “Miss Shen, you certainly don’t stand on ceremony!”

Shen Zhiyao stated calmly, “I don’t want to waste time.”

Her words were quite blunt, instantly triggering a wave of dissatisfaction from the livestream viewers:

[Damn, who is this person? Sitting in Actor Sun’s seat and talking to him so rudely!]

[Just as you’d expect from the woman who cursed the show to be canceled right after it premiered. So bold! Not only does she have no respect for her elders, she’s arrogant too.]

[Are you all blind? Everyone else took their seats, so my streamer had nowhere else to go. What are you all spouting nonsense for?]

[She’s just an internet celebrity. If there’s no seat, can’t she sit on the ground? Why does she have to take the head seat? Doesn’t she have basic manners? How did her parents raise her?]

[What? If there’s no seat, should Shen Zhiyao sit on your face?]

[Didn’t she say it was going to rain and hail today? How come not a single drop has fallen?]

Just then, staff members began bringing out the prepared lunch for everyone to enjoy—lobster, crab, steak, a full spread of all kinds of dishes.

However, everyone was quite restrained. They knew the point of the show wasn’t eating but chatting, so they found a topic of conversation to liven up the atmosphere.

Zhao Jing had hosted many shows and was quite experienced. She quickly found a topic.

She not only praised Sun Yingbin’s acting but also complimented Zhou Lun’s physique and heaped praise on Meng Xiaoxiao’s looks.

She even gave generous praise to Zhou Ye, who had the lowest status, and the atmosphere quickly became lively.

Just as she was about to strike up a conversation with Shen Zhiyao, she saw that Shen Zhiyao was busy burying her head in her food, completely unconcerned with her image.

Zhao Jing teased, “Miss Shen, you’re eating so much. Don’t you usually have to watch your figure?”

“No.”

As a Cultivator, her body naturally maintained its optimal state; she could keep her figure without controlling her diet.

She even gave some sincere advice, “You should hurry and eat more while there’s still time. Otherwise, you won’t get a chance to eat.”

’In a little over ten minutes, it’s going to rain and hail. This whole delicious spread will go to waste.’

To the others, it sounded like she’d never had good food before and was afraid of leftovers.

The other guests were, at most, picking at their food. No one would just let loose and gorge themselves like Shen Zhiyao, with no regard for their image.

Zhou Lun said, “I heard Miss Shen say on her livestream that it would rain and hail at 12:30 PM today. But I see it’s already 12:00, and the sun is still shining brightly. I’d like to ask, is this rain actually going to fall or not?”

Shen Zhiyao said, “The time hasn’t come, so of course it hasn’t started.”

Sun Yingbin immediately tried to smooth things over. “Can you really tell fortunes? This is the first time I’ve ever heard of Metaphysics and divination.”

Zhao Jing immediately jumped in with a playful smile, “How about you do a reading for all of us!”

Shen Zhiyao said, “Alright. Who’s first?”

Zhao Jing immediately put her on the spot. “Haha, anyone’s fine, just pick someone! Why don’t you see which of us is facing the greatest disaster and start with them?”

Shen Zhiyao’s brow furrowed slightly. “I can really just pick anyone?”

Everyone nodded in agreement, treating her as a mere source of entertainment.

Shen Zhiyao’s gaze swept over the five of them one by one. They were all grinning, looking completely unconcerned.

When her eyes passed over Zhou Ye, he quickly sat up straight, afraid she would pick him.

But her gaze merely swept past him, as if he were just thin air.

Finally, Shen Zhiyao’s eyes landed on Actor Sun Yingbin.

Sun Yingbin’s whole demeanor changed. He swallowed nervously, then forced a laugh. “Uh… I’m not about to have some bloody disaster, am I? Why are you looking at me like that?”

Shen Zhiyao said, “From your facial features, the area corresponding to your children is shrouded in black qi. This is an ominous sign.”

The smile on Sun Yingbin’s face froze instantly. “What do you mean?”

Shen Zhiyao said, “Your son will run into trouble soon. You’d best bring him to your side, or he will face a bloody calamity.”

As soon as she said this, the other guests burst out laughing.

Zhao Jing said with a smile, “Miss Shen, Brother Bin isn’t even married. Where would he get a son?”

Meng Xiaoxiao also chimed in, “Exactly! Brother Bin is everyone’s dream guy. If he got married, a ton of fans would cry their eyes out, wouldn’t they?”

Zhou Lun also said with a cold expression, “Even if you’re going to pretend you can tell fortunes, you should at least try to make it believable! Never mind their backgrounds, you’re just spouting nonsense. Anyone who didn’t know better would think all of us here are hiding a bunch of scandals.”

Meanwhile, on the show’s bullet-comment stream, Shen Zhiyao’s words had also stirred up a lot of dissatisfaction among the fans:

[What’s with this woman? Our favorite actor didn’t even offend her. How can she just start spreading rumors and causing trouble?]

[My favorite actor has always been single, okay? In the twenty years since his debut, he’s had zero scandals. Plus, he promised he wouldn’t date, marry, or have kids before retiring from the industry! You damned woman, making up a story about our actor having a son out of thin air. You’re going to make me die of anger!]

[I’m a wife fan of Sun Yingbin, and I can guarantee he isn’t married. Because I have our marriage certificate right here in my hand!]

Although some of Shen Zhiyao’s fans were still speaking up for her in the comments, they were quickly drowned out by the flood of other messages.

Because Sun Yingbin’s fanbase was so massive, the entire comment stream was filled with insults directed at Shen Zhiyao.

What no one noticed was that when Shen Zhiyao said those words, Sun Yingbin’s expression had changed almost imperceptibly.

In reality, not only was Sun Yingbin married, but he also had a son who was being raised abroad by a nanny.

He had kept this a secret to avoid affecting his commercial value; very few people knew.

He had no idea how Shen Zhiyao knew his private business, but in front of so many cameras, Sun Yingbin couldn’t afford to lose his temper.

So, Sun Yingbin forced a smile and said, “Zhou Lun is right. I don’t have any children.”

Shen Zhiyao paid no mind to Sun Yingbin’s denial, her detached yet sharp gaze meeting his. “A career is certainly important, but in your heart, there are always things more important than a career!”

Sun Yingbin had been in the entertainment industry for many years and had seen all sorts of major situations.

He had never been afraid of someone like Shen Zhiyao before.

Her status was clearly low—so low that for him to even deign to speak to her was a form of flattery.

But her gaze held an indescribable perceptiveness, as if she could see through everything in the world.

This couldn’t help but stir a trace of lingering fear in his heart…
